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

@Westy22 yeah the midwife sorts your scan out, you should get an appointment letter withing 1-2wks after seeing her. Oooo a scan place 5mins away haha thats toooo tempting lol bloating, i tried rennie deflate, didnt touch it.. infact nothing has/is. So if you look 6mths pregnant already, id say its normal lol i drank boiled water and just had fybogel. Some days it was really uncomfy tho... am still day by day lol mw app next week. Half term for easter too so just taking it as it comes 🙂

@Supertrooper101 I'm going to try and ride it out now till 12 weeks 😱 I've got my booking appointment on the 9th so that breaks up the wait a bit, bit worried my 12 week scan may be late as I've not got a date for it yet assuming the midwife sorts it? If I have a wobble there's a private scan place 5 mins away 🤣 how you getting on?

Anyone found any bloat remedies lol my bowels are slightly more active now but still bloating alot, I read peppermint tea/capsules help but Google says to avoid in first trimester 😫

@Paws4thought thats good news.. and the thing is, ovulation could be anytime now so abit of blind cycle lol omega 3s vit c and d can boost your mood, and maybe a higher dose vit b6 to give your hormones a help to settle
@Westy22 tbh not finding out is a wise decision if it makes no difference and you will be both plsd not having those figures infront of you worrying. Whats your plans now then, ride it out until your dating scan?

@Sez281 your sickness must be bad to need them 🙁 lets hope they work and it settles on its own soon. Did you stop the pessaries?
@Jadeypie loving the chilled out you. If only you got on them meds sooner lol

@paw @Paws4thought aw hehe. Funny when you hear people wanting to avoid certain dates etc. Somehow that all matters less after loss I think! My birthday is 29th Dec and I don't mind it too much. It is what it is! I know a couple of people with Christmas Eve birthdays and even a Christmas Day!

@xxcxdonxx @Paws4thought thank you ❤️

@Paws4thought do you think? I feel like it's been so slow 🙈 yeah we've agreed it won't change anything so no point x

Glad your finally able to have a fresh start, as Snooky said your hormones will still be all over the place so totally normal for you to feel your mood has dropped x

@SnookyPook thank you, hopefully hormones will settle down a little now too. If I get a bfp before next period it'll be due around Christmas day 🙈

@Paws4thought aw that's good news. Glad you've got your closure. On to the opks now!! I'm sure your mood will pick up soon - you've been through a hell of a lot and also had hormones all over the place, so go easy on yourself! 💗

@Sez281 glad your scan went well.... hopefully the nausea will ease soon. 🤞
@Westy22 ah didn't realise you were over 7 weeks, that's gone quickly. Have you decided not to have any of the testing?
@SnookyPook nearly half way already, that has gone quickly.
@xxcxdonxx how many dpo are you now? Will you wait to test?

Clear blue test was negative this morn yay, so onto daily ovulation strips 🙈 although my mood seems to have dropped off a cliff, hopefully that'll change before peak haha.

Morning

@Westy22 @Sez281 great news about your appointments!! More milstones to tick off 🥰

@SnookyPook thank you we had a lovely little evening xx

Fab news on your scans!

@Westy22 that’s great to be discharged from epau, another piece of positive news. It doesn’t feel that long ago you got your bfp, before you know it, you’ll be back for your 12 week scan.

@Sez281 so glad to hear it all went well. Hopefully the anti sickness meds help you out, it’s exhausting enough without feeling unwell too.

@Westy22 yes, as long as little one cooperates!! Yes I must say since the 12wk scan time has actually picked up the pace on this pregnancy. It feels like another week rolls around so quickly now which is crazy after how the first trimester felt like it lasted a decade 😂

@Jadeypie hope you had a nice meal with your niece! Lovely to hear you sounding so positive ☺️

Thank you guys 🥰

Glad yours went well @Sez281 you've hit a big milestone 🙏 Glad you got the nausea meds, I feel quite lucky so far my symptoms are quite mild but I'm well aware it could hit me at any moment. Fingers crossed the bloods calm you a bit, we've agreed we're not doing them as it won't change the outcome and just creates too much anxiety.

Thank you @SnookyPook ❤️ eekk it's flown! Is this where you find out the sex? X

@Supertrooper101 how are you doing? X

@Jadeypie glad your feeling more positive and less focused on ttc, I swear it will happen for you when you least expect x

@Westy22 and @Sez281 thats great mews 🙂. Maybe just wean of the progesterone for a week if that would make you feel more at ease. Just pretend your appointment is nxt wk for minds sake lol

Aw @Sez281 that's fantastic news! So pleased to hear it! Just that last hurdle of NIPT now before you can relax a bit more 💗

My scan is Thurs afternoon. Excited and nervous all at once!

@Westy22 wonderful news! So happy to hear this 🥰

Scan went well 🥰 measuring possibly 2 days ahead, good heartbeat and I've been discharged from EPU xx they were so nice and she recognised me from previous pregnancy so said as soon as she sees it she will say which was thankfully seconds x

Hope your okay @Sez281 x

Morning everyone 😊

Good luck @Sez281 @Westy22 with your appointments!! Xx

I duno what's got into me but I'm like a dog on heat 🤣🤣🤣 I'm putting it down to hormone change haha. I'm off out for a nice little meal tonight and catch up with my Niece while she's visiting. I feel like I've started a social life again since not obsessing with ttc xx

Sorry forgot to add I'm 7+4 now x @xxcxdonxx

Thank you @xxcxdonxx @Paws4thought @SnookyPook hope your all okay?

Got home last night to an appointment letter for the infertility clinic for the end of April, I was like omg this better not jinx me! It's in the same place I'm going today 🙈 so nervous now x

@Sez281 @Westy22 hope all goes well today! 💗

Morning to all. Hope everyone has a good Monday x

@Sez281 @Westy22 good luck with your scans today x

Hope all goes well with your appointments today ladies.

How far along are you now @Westy22 ?
I think it’s natural to worry you are being too hopeful. I’m sure your scan today will put your mind at ease and allow you to enjoy your optimism.

12 weeks is huge @Sez281 !!
That’s good you are getting all those things done in the one appointment and hope baby behaves for a nice clear scan image 😍

Ah thanks @Sez281 it's at 1.30pm, I've got the morning to wait but I'm not in work till after it so I'm going to try and have a lie in as we've been away all weekend which was a nice distraction and don't get home till later tonight. Feeling nervous, I've been quite optimistic the last few days but then worry I'm being too hopeful 🙈 OH has even started talking about it a bit which is nice but we've both agreed it's still a nervous wait.

Good luck with yours @Sez281 must be a nice feeling to get to this stage 🙏 I'm grateful I'm having another check in as there's no way I could've waited. Its crap about the nausea getting worse, I can honestly say everything I'm experiencing is very mild which I guess is lucky but also scary 🙈😫

Xx
