TTC May 2023 💝 Previous MC March 2023 (thread 4)

@Westy22 so much easyer to switch off to try and let time go quicker.....and early nites lol
@Sez281 @SnookyPook did any of you have any side effects coming off the progesterone then? Still nervous about stopping it 🤦‍♀️ ha

Happy Easter everyone!

Sorry I've been quiet, just trying to distract myself a little bit and switch off from pregnancy stuff so that I can try and focus myself on everyday things, otherwise it literally drags 🤣 9 days till my booking app🙏 went out last night for the first time since finding out...luckily alot of the people we were with didn't drink so it wasn't noticed that I wasn't, its a whole new experience as I love lots of fizz usually 🤣🙈

That story made me laugh @Sez281 glad your results have come back good, feel like your pregnancy is really starting to pick up the pace 💓I'm really fighting the urge to book a private scan, I'm going to wait till midwife app and then if I feel positive still, I'll try my best to hold out but if the scan appointment is later than my official 12th week I may well end up caving and booking private lol

Ahh a girl 🥰 @Supertrooper101 Glad everything is going well, can't believe you've not told anyone, I'm literally dying to tell everyone 🤣🤣

Hope your all okay @Paws4thought @xxcxdonxx @Jadeypie ❤️

Aw congrats @Supertrooper101 🥰💗

Hehe @Sez281 that has made me chuckle too. Bless you, glad you could see the funny side! Exciting to have 20wk scan date too! 🥰

@Paws4thought oh that is frustrating however I would say keep testing just in case. Could deffo be hormones still settling etc after what you've been through. 💕

@Sez281 thats pretty hirlarious lol good job you could both laff too lol yeah ive gone one of each. Been nearly 16yrs since i had my girl tho 🤯.... still not told anyone 🤣...@Paws4thought all you can do is keep testing and dtd lol

@Sez281 haha that's made me smile, the thought of you opening your letter all excited to see it was an appt 🙈🤣 still exciting having a date for 20weeks tho!

Yeah I think my hormones are still a bit messed up tbh, I know nothing will speed things up but still getting stressed about it 🙃

@xxcxdonxx sorry to see you've tested negative, will you wait til you're due on now?

@Supertrooper101 ah so you're having a girl? That sounds like a good report!

Planned to try but I'm starting to think I might have missed peak last weekend as strips are getting lighter, not sure if they could have been picking up any hcg still, I dont remember having any other signs.
I'm day 13 today since last mva and normally peak day 13 or 14 and they're lightest I've seen them.

@Sez281 the place we went to was actually quite nice. Seen some ppl slag it of on other forums ages ago but the report was pretty suprising. They broke like each part into paragraphs so for like the organs, brain, limbs placenta postion and even the fluid and explained what the findings meant too. And 'she' played ball so all that plus gender for i think 60ish pound! They did say they dont measure head to bum after 14wks it then goes by incentile whatever it is. So if you want an accurate due date i think you will have to get a private one lol
@Paws4thought hows your strips coming 🙂 you trying this cycle or is it just for curiosity? Has your mood settled down abit. Hope so

@Paws4thought hopefully you get your peak soon, might just take a few days longer this cycle while your body readjusts.

Ive still a few days to go technically @Sez281 but I tested this morning and it was a bfn ☹️ I’d only be 10/11 dpo so I know it’s still a bit early but I’m pretty sure I’d see something by now.

@Sez281 hopefully post will come today for you 🤞

My opk are still low, I'm day 12 from last mva so hoping it'll go up tomorrow, I've only done them for a couple of cycles but they seem to peak day 13 /14, haven't got any signs yet though.

@xxcxdonxx have you done a test? Think you said you had to after 10 days

@Sez281 that’s wonderful news on your results and you will hopefully find out the sex today? Exciting!

@SnookyPook awww congratulations, another boy is lovely. It’s hard not to worry about sizes but sounds like he had got himself into all sorts of positions so I’m sure it was tricky to be precise. Good news you will be monitored.

@SnookyPook congratulations! Is your little boy happy with a brother on the way? Hopefully measurements will be higher at next scan :)
@Supertrooper101 good luck with your scan tomorrow! What time is it?
@Sez281 glad test results were good! Do you have a preference of boy or girl? Obviously you'll be happy either way 🙂

@Sez281 thats bizarre that.. whole point of a dating scan is to measure and date accordingly lol did they give you the measurements of baby so you could work it out yourself lol no way could i wait till 20wks so got one tomorrow. Reading on what they do, its kinda like an early 20wk one with the checks etc. Il be 15 just over.... can even tell.the sex if there in a good position!
@SnookyPook youl just have to habe a 3rd now for a girl lol ive two nephews and they fight like hell lol but you know they would always protect each other. My boy was classed as restrictive growth. He was nearly full term and still only a tiny 6lb 1oz. He was 10 last week and taller than average. I guess some just dont want to get beefy in there lol only issue we had with him though was he wouldnt keep food down when he was born so was in nicu for the wkend....but...... that didnt last long as was a fat baby 🤣 until he started moving, then never stopped moving so scrawny now lol there so random but i wouldnt be put off by it. Yours was tiny and is fine now 🙂

@Sez281 thank you! Yes, a this stage last year my son was 50th centile for everything but obviously growth slowed a bit after that. Hopefully this one will catch up and all will level out. I clearly don't make massive babies but as I said, hopefully it's all ok. They've marked down no anomalies seen in the skull/brain/femur so it looks like they are all fine apart from measuring a bit small. It's so easy to get worried about things. However, he was also in a very odd position - he was tucked up with his legs over his head and his knees touching his nose 😂😂 and the sonographer mentioned a couple of times it was a bit tricky so I guess it's very possible that some of the angles of the measurements weren't ideal either!

Hi all! Hey! All good! It's another little boy! 🥰Structurally looking healthy - only thing is he's a bit on the dinky side (9th centile overall and head circumference and femur length were below 5th centile 🫤) so they want me in again in 2-3 weeks to check in. Was expecting growth scans anyway from 3rd trimester. Feeling slightly thrown they want us back in so soon but my son was born 5th centile and is now 90th centile for height!! So hopefully nothing sinister. Trying to get my head around being a full on boy Mamma!! 💙💙🥰 Xx

@Supertrooper101 thank you! All sounding good! Heart rate has dropped to 143 which is apparently great for this gestation. Midwife said it sounded strong and nice regular rhythm. Can definitely go into tomorrow a bit less anxious now! 💗 Have you got your 16wk coming up? Or just had it? I've lost track! X

@Sez281 its a tough one about the pessaries, but i guess you have to let go at some point lol isnt it when the placenta has taken over its not needed? Maybe they saw that and thats why they said stop. Thats great about the results. Do they give you a figure breakdown like the nhs or is it just a low etc. Did you have the standard nhs one at your dating scan too? Be interesting how they compare. Thats so exciting finding out the sex !
@SnookyPook good call on the doppler 🙂 must be so much easyer just being able to do that now instead of fighting epu for a scan lol good luck for the little one playing ball tomorrow

@Sez281 oh that's wonderful news! 🥰 So happy to hear this!

Yep I'm pretty excited and just slightly anxious. Going for a Doppler check this afternoon so hopefully that will help the nerves a little more before the scan. 🙏🏼🌈

@Westy22 I think it always goes quicker for other people than yourself. That's good best not to know then 😊
@SnookyPook my bday is just before Xmas and if I'm honest I don't like it so close and didn't really want that for my child but I don't want to waste time not trying just to avoid the date when anything could happen!
@Supertrooper101 thanks for vitamin advice, I'll have to go shopping haha I'm taking vit d and folic again now but nothing else yet. I said to my oh it could be this week but also might not be for weeks. How many weeks are you now?
@xxcxdonxx ah only a couple of days til you test then, what is it you're taking? I imagine the 400 mg is the same as 2 x 200mg. That's good that you're not too caught up in it all this cycle.

@Paws4thought that’s good you have had your negative and are able to start a fresh. Joys of testing in some aspect never leave us!

I think I’m 7/8dpo today. I’m meant to take these pessaries for 10 days so I’ll need test at that point to know whether to continue to take them. Annoyingly I’ve ran out of 200mg. I thought I had another box of them but it’s the 400mg.
I am meant to take 2x200mg daily so I wonder if I take 1x400mg instead it will still do the trick?
My hearts not in it this month, normally that would freak me out but I’m just winging it over here right now 🤣
