2023 TTC 35+ Part 6

@FigandHoney aw no don't worry. It's nothing that I've not been mulling over anyway 💕

Thank you @Catson

I am sorry @SnookyPook . Feel like a bit of an idiot having asked you that. Think you already mentioned you were going to take a break. And that makes so much sense. I hope I didn't bring up bad emotions by asking xx

@worldwidetravel2017 hope they don't keep you waiting too much longer.

@FigandHoney I've never tested before AF either but if it's any comfort, that line you got above is already stronger than the one that I got for my CP. 💕 RE trying, I think it's the old, they recommend waiting a full cycle etc etc... tbh at this point, I think I need a month off for my own wellbeing, although part of me would love to press on. But I've also conceived three times this year, including twice in the last 4 months so that doesn't seem to be the problem really.. which makes me think there could be a benefit to waiting and seeing what the fertility consultant says before risking another positive that might not stick. Bit frustrating... I'm both impatient and scared... Good combo! So planning to take a pause this month and then see...

Congratulations @FigandHoney
Pleased all went well @VixFromThe6ix
Hope you both start to make progress with health professionals soon @SnookyPook @worldwidetravel2017

Aww. Thanks @Cressie2 for your reassuring and kind words

@FigandHoney I’m so happy for you!! That’s a strong HCG result and at 10DPO I think think is a very very good sign. Such good news 💥💕

@worldwidetravel2017 that sounds very reassuring that they’ve ruled out the big cancer scares and it sounds like the doctors are being very thorough. Lots of other issues can cause elevated ca125. Hopefully you’ll get your results soon and hope you’re doing ok.

Oh @worldwidetravel2017 I am so sorry they are dragging with getting you your results and a definitive answer.
You must be feeling so anxious. But it's good they ruled out a few types of cancer. And hopefully they won't find anything.
You so deserve to be a mum. It is so painful when it doesn't happen.
I hope you get the results soon, that they give you the all clear and that you can move ahead ttc.

Big congrats to @FigandHoney

Glad alls well @VixFromThe6ix

Been thinking of you @SnookyPook

Thanks 4 asking guys re scan

Rang medical secretaries @ start of week - was told they are taking longer to be reported - told to ring bk end of week

• will ring tomorrow re abdomen ct scan results linked to abnornal ca125..

[ theyve ruled out gynae cancers - ruled out bowel cancer & ruled out stomach cancer ]

They dunno why my ca125 is so elevated / abnornal
It can also be in breast cancer - theres no lumps

But where i put weight on after glandular fever & now cfs diagnosis..

If - if scan results show nothing re andomen ct scan - i may ask what their plan is or / and if anyone is guna check my boobs

• spoke to others on mumsnet who had bowel polyps like me ( theyve been removed in colonoscopy) & then abnormal ca125 too - some of them had breast cancer

Period ending so supposedly trying to concieve soon given had to avoid any chance of oct conception due to abdomen ct scan
& early miscarriage = sept

Would love nothing more than to be a mum

Worked all over the world nannying - - caring 4 others children etc

I only did kne test. So now I have this crazy thought in my head that if I do another test it will be negative. That something weird happened with the first. Argh

Thank you @Angelsrose @VixFromThe6ix @CurlyWurly1991 @SnookyPook . Hopefully it's a sticky bean.
Never been in the situation were I got a BFP before af was due. So terrified she will come and snatch my bean away.

@CurlyWurly1991 Yes maybe doing SMEP worked. Although I would not be able to do it every month. We also used some preseed on the days we're I was drier. And then I followed @worldwidetravel2017 advice and upped my b vitamins and vitamin D.

Hoping to spread some baby dust. Hopefully this is the start of loads of BFPs

@SnookyPook you are holding up so well. Do you get to try this cycle

@worldwidetravel2017 have you had any results yet? Hope you are doing ok

Omg @FigandHoney amazing!!! So all that dtd was worth it then !! Congratulations xx

also lovely to hear your update @VixFromThe6ix such positive news, I’m happy for you xx

@worldwidetravel2017 any news on your CT scan yet? Been thinking of you. X

@FigandHoney oh wonderful!! Everything crossed for you!

@VixFromThe6ix lovely update - so glad your little bean is doing well. Must be a nice feeling to officially graduate from the fertility docs too! Really hope all keeps progressing well for you 🙏🏻

I've stopped bleeding. 😌 Feeling... Meh. Hoping my referral to fertility comes through soon. Feeling in a bit of limbo right now. Some sad moments, but surprisingly mostly doing ok at picking myself up and trying to move forwards.

Hugs to all. X

Congratulations @FigandHoney ! Excellent news

@VixFromThe6ix I am so happy the ultrasound went well!! I hope you feel better soon too

@Khanga27 sounds like your GP reassured you and it's good they offered you an ultrasound. How do you feel now?

So I used an opk again and it was positive again. So I cracked and did an HCG test. And I think I got a BFP. It's still early days. I think I am 10dpo. So I am very aware all sort could happen. And this could end in a VP.
But I am tentatively excited!

Amazing news @VixFromThe6ix 🤍 I hope you start to feel better soon though!

Hope everyone else is doing ok, have had a quiet few weeks offline trying to take the pressure off, but thinking of everyone x

Had GP yesterday. She has said that the fact my period is back is good, and that the fact is lighter is very common after pregnancy or miscarriage. She also said that pain could just be hormones settling as that can take a few months. She however recognised my anxiety and has referred me for an ultrasound scan, though said this was more for peace of mind than anything else. She said I should get an appointment within the month.

@FigandHoney I really hope your symptoms are pregnancy 🤞🏻❤️Nice that your parents are with you this weekend to keep you busy whilst you wait it out.

@VixFromThe6ix I hope today went well? And @Khanga27 your GP appointment? @worldwidetravel2017 any CT results yet? Thinking of you all.

@VixFromThe6ix I hope your ultrasound went well?

Well. I just did an opk test this evening and it is clearly positive. But with my rise in temperatures surely I can't be ovulating?
I don't know if I should do an HCG test tomorrow morning just in case. With my son I didn't get a BFP until 4 days after AF was due. And this cycle AF shouldn't arrive before the weekend or even Monday.
Also my parents are coming yo visit us on Saturday.

Thanks @CurlyWurly1991 . Yeah i know. Can't tell until AF comes, she doesn't or you test positive. Just got to wait.
It's not even that we have been trying long this time. But I am dreading for it to take as long as it did last time

@FigandHoney wish you the very best xx it’s impossible to know at this stage. I feel ‘pregnant’ every cycle and am disappointed every time. I hope you get your BFP!!

@CurlyWurly1991 I have attached my temp chart. Also my premom app around when I think I ovulated and then now when they are increasing again.
My bbt is always highest around this point. I should know by 10dpo as at that point my stats usually start to drop and I start spotting.
Currently wavering between hoping I am pregnant and telling myself not to get my hopes up because they are most likely to get shattered this weekend.
