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

@xxcxdonxx thank you! Are you actively trying still at the moment?
@Westy22 thank you :) haha yes, baby will come when you least expect it 🙈 have you stuck to buying all neutral stuff or gone for a bit of boy and girl?

Ahh @Paws4thought keeping everything crossed for this one ❤️ I would do what you need to do to get that progesterone 🙏 I see my MW in a week so she will have a feel, hopefully it will be head down still. I have no idea why because the stats are against me but I feel like I'll go earlier so maybe a Halloween baby 🙈 watch me go wayyy over now 😂

@Supertrooper101 Ava is a lovely name ❤️ I've only got a girl name and I'm pretty sure it's a boy 😂 so not very prepared that side of it. It's such a difficult decision and we never agree 😂

Love Evie out of your name choices 😍 @Sez281 as if it's only 2 weeks for you, it's a funny time isn't it I can imagine the nerves, I remember suddenly being petrified when they said baby was head down in my scan as the realisation that I'm probably gonna have to push this baby out hit me 😂😂 how's your OH coping? Mines just announced he would like a hospital tour after telling me months ago he didn't want one 😫 so he's definitely stressed lol

@xxcxdonxx yes I have around 27 working days left lol when I take my days off out of it😂 we have a stocktake the week before I finish tho so the stress of that is looming over me and ruining my countdown, as the last one was traumatic 🙈 ah that's something to look forward to and like you say a fresh start for you ❤️

Aw wow, @Paws4thought that’s wonderful news. Totally understand being cautious but I’ll be quietly optimistic over here for you and will be thinking of you 🥰

Ava is a lovely name @Supertrooper101 , we’ve a longer surname and I really like a short first name. How are you doing? Are you home or still in hospital?

Two weeks @Sez281, exciting! Hope you are getting some down time now you’ve finished up work.

That's wonderful news @SnookyPook, your little one has done so well.

Not long for you either @Westy22 . Are you counting down the days till you finish up work? Our house live is around the same time so I’ll be counting the weeks with you.

Not much to share on my side, just finishing up my period and on to the next month. Not sure what to do going forward, I’m just really fed up with TTC now and kind of wanted this new house to be a clean slate for us so will see what the next few weeks brings.

@Supertrooper101 aww Ava is a lovely name, don't hear it that often :) wow that's a lot to take in, hopefully won't need to worry about it until number 2 🤞 did you take extra folic acid or just what in the multi vit? I'm going to push for progesterone, might even tell a little lie about spotting to push them.
@Sez281 thank you 😊 trying to stay positive but realistic.
I reckon you'll know which name you want when you hold her. Will you be induced? Or are you going to try to trigger natural labour?

@SnookyPook that what i wrote to paws was for you haha
@Paws4thought key is antioxdiants. Extra vit d, c e zinc, berrys, coq10, omega 3s folic acid. the best form of b6 is p5p . I took alot and a standard multivitamin. Not sure on your age but theres dhea too for you to have a look at. The key is antioxidants the first part of the cycle especially when your on your period as thats when the new egg is selected, then ovulation onwards you need to suppprt progesterone. So p5p sunflower seeds and seasme seeds. Plus the above vits lol it is alot but 🤷‍♀️ worth a shot. All myne was home bargains bar coq10 p5p n folic which was amazon. Also used pre seed when it happened too x no way lmao...just read the bottom of ur message 🤣... i used the standard ones and added my own omega 3 but carried on with extra vit c and d. Try ur hardest to push for progesterone, really hope this is ur time 🙂
@Sez281 2 weeks wow.... how far will you be then? My choice was ava and now not sure lol what 5 did u have lol

@Supertrooper101 ah I didn't think about section feeling less personal, how are you finding the recovery? Thank you for vitamin suggestions, I don't know how you remember it all. You'll have to test run the name for a day see if it suits her haha
@SnookyPook that's great news that Samuel's heart has nearly fully fixed itself, hope you're enjoying your time with him :)
@Westy22 ooo you might have a halloween or bonfire baby then, when do you next have baby position checked?
@Sez281 can't believe you've only got 2 weeks to go, have you got a birthing plan? Your prolactin looked about the same as mine, did they prescribed anything or make any suggestions?
@xxcxdonxx @Jadeypie hope you're both OK.

I did a test yesterday and today and they're both positive :) super nervous that it'll be a chemical tho, but hopefully not. Planning to get the pregnacare max capsules tomorrow so all vitamins are covered by them, they seem to have good reviews, did anyone use them?

@Westy22 your have there hands scratching down there too lol myne come out with some rite finger nails lol id say take it easy now but you probably wont lol think you would be bord if you did lol
@Paws4thought plsd everything is looking positive :) do they all have this condition? Am confused, scrolled above but couldnt find any mention of it?

@Paws4thought I'm due 4th November, this weeks flown and I'm 33 weeks on Monday... much to the OHs dismay as he's getting stressed now 😂 I'm no good with advice with blood results but these two know what their talking about. Like @Supertrooper101 said tho you'd think your gp would just refer you now.

@Supertrooper101 ahh you'll have to share the name when you decide if your keeping it 😂 hope your doing okay. Yeah I'm going to take one capsule then up it I think in the next week or so as the strength is quite high lol I'm definitely feeling the effects of later pregnancy now 😫 think baby is spending most of the day head down and my bladder and bits feel under some pressure 😩 I'm hitting a point where I'm mentally ready to give birth 😂

@SnookyPook ahhh that's good news, glad everything is looking good and can imagine the relief that mustve brought 💙 yeah I feel like my pregnancy has gone quick, just praying I don't go over 😂

@Supertrooper101 massive congratulations!! So happy that baby girl is here! Sorry you didn't much enjoy your birthing experience but as long as you're both safe and well, that's the main thing 🥰

News here... we had the cardiology appointment on Tuesday and thankfully it was best case scenario! The hole in his heart appears to have almost completely closed up and has done so without drawing on any heart valves etc so all is looking healthy. To be prudent they want to do one further follow up in 6 months time but cardiology consultant had no concerns. So relieved 🥰

Hope everyone else is doing well! @Sez281 not long to go now! @Westy22 can't believe how far along you are too!!

@Paws4thought hope that your GP is helpful. Would be good if a simple tweak of prolactin levels could be a game changer for you 🤞🏼🙏🏼

We do have a name.... and now am doubting it 🤣 am a bugger... just to me there was nothing personal about the section. U just walk into theatre and its like you have gone in for an operation, thats it. I know alot of ppl rave about them but for me, i hated it... but anyway.
@Paws4thought have a look into vitex, that lowers prolactin. If it is too high it can work the same way as contraception. A good version of b6 also lowers it if you dont want to go down the herbal route. If your gp is chatting to fertility on ur behalf, cant they just refer you 🙂.
App wont let me scroll thr names to tag 🤦‍♀️. The raspberry it mite have just been the initial dose until you got used to it. I rate them before and after tho.

Just had blood results all normal except prolactin is slightly raised, about 100 over the top end, anyone else had this? She's emailed fertility to see if they want to do anything as could contribute to mc / infertility but could also be nothing 🙈

@Westy22 good to know the raspberry leaf works! When are you due?

@Sez281 yeah MW give me the go ahead, although I've gone to 1 rather than 2 tablets a day because I started cramping a bit in the night on Tuesday and it freaked me out 😂 ill up the dosage in a few weeks..I'll do anything for a quicker labour lol xx

Awww @Supertrooper101 , huge congratulations!!! So pleased that little lady is here safe and well 💜💜💜

Ahhhh @Supertrooper101 congratulations 💖💖 hope your both well. Does she have a name? X

You next now @Sez281 😂🙏

@Supertrooper101 congratulations!! Hope you enjoy your little girl and healthy quickly ❤️
@Sez281 due on Saturday so just waiting to see what happens, no testing this month. Should get results tomorrow from bloods hopefully. Enjoy your mat leave! Glad you were discharged quickly x

Well i must be the only one who hated the section. Worst thing iv known. If you guys can go natrual, do it lol well and as for 95th centile, she was a tiny 7lb 3 lol still all abit surreal and cant beleve we got here 🙂
@Westy22 i guess if the scan showed them being on the 50th then they wont book anymore, but bet it was nice seeing him her again 🙂

@Sez281 ah I've still got a bit time yet tho, definitely feeling more tired and achey. Started the rasberry leaf tablets yesterday and took two.....woke up cramping a bit so I'm switching to one for now until my body is used to it 😂 happy mat leave! Just chill and baby will come when ready ❤️ I'm just starting my 6 day stint in work and feel like crying 😫😂
