First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 3

thanks summer I've been down for a while so I'm determined to have a good year now and try to look on the bright side of things (my husbands always telling me off for being so negative!) I've decided to run the race for life in the summer to raise money for cancer research and have already started training-it's nice to feel in control if something!! I'm going to do it even if I'm 6months pregnant and waddle my way down!

Anyway, I can't wait til all these little beans are due and we get loads of cute pictures up! I still haven't got round to sharing one of my wedding pictures with you and I've seen a few of yours! Xx

thanks hever! I thought that was right :-) soni think I'm on day 19 now then- as you know I had 4 AF's practically one after another (between 2/5 days between each!) but my last one ended Christmas eve so I'm thinking that's good!! It's funny you should say that though-I'm secretly hopeful it won't show and Ill have some good news soon. I've had an outbreak of spots (which as I said before is unusual but it did happen whenI had the hormonal surge after stopping DP but not since so that's been a while!) and I've been really moody and keep picking on my poor DH (I have had a crap couple of weeks though so It could just be stress-without depressing you too much I lost another uncle just before christmas and funeral was new years eve and my sister in law has been rushed in with meningitis so not the most peaceful Christmas!) HOWEVER- I do have a really painful breast, it's lumpy and tender but only really one so fingers crossed it's not just AF coming back!

Helllooooo everyone!!

Happy new Year!! sorry i have been a bit vacant lately!!

Dawn fantastic news , i am so happy for you and same for you aswell summer you can both now relax and thoroughly enjoy being pregnant!!

Bubbap its perfectly normal to feel i found out on new years eve that one of my friends is 8 wks pregnant. I grinned and beared it, then got absolutely plastered and balled my eyes out to my sister and mam!!

I am now on CD15 and am on my last month of clomid. So me and DP started very well this month even bd'd twice on cd13, which is unusual for us ha ha cos we are lazy!! However i usually ovulate D14 and we never BD'd at all yesterday. I had promised to babysit for my cousins 7 wk old baby so never got chance!! We have just had argument today cos I am now in a stroppy mood as I feel like I really wanted to give it my all this month, and DP doesnt seem as bothered as I do. I am so angry and upset with him that I feel like forgetting about this month and finding another DP by next month!! Ha ha only joking!!

Does anyone else ever feel like this?? I don't know if I put too much pressure on sometimes!!

Anyway rant over, hopefully this isn't a start of things to come for 2009!!
Sorry for the long moan!!

Hope everyone else is well and feeling positive for this year!!

Hi ya crunchy glad to hear the cycle has kicked in!!! Its from the first day of AF to the first day of the next one. - Hope your cycle goes missing for an altogether different reason

hi all-fairyI'm glad they have put your mind a ease. I think it's always better to check these things then sit and worry. I hope everything is okay from now on.

I'm going to ask a really silly question now but here goes! When counting your cycle length (now I finally have one!) do you count from the first day of AF until the start of next AF or is it from the end of one until the start of the next one?? Xx

Hey Fairy just wanted to let you know I had a similar thing too about 3 times! paniced the life out of me despite the TINY amount. All was ok though. Am 23 weeks today and buba is still there - had scan on weds to prove it!!

Thanks summerbird for the reassurance, i need to stop reading the horror stories! It was just a one off so far and was such a tiny amount i can't believe it can be too serious. I expected the midwife i spoke to to say the same thing as yours but when she said threatened miscarriage i almost burst into tears. I would have started my period this weekend if i wasn't pregnant so it could just be that. Either way a scan to put my mind at ease will be very welcome.

Hi All,
Just got back from A&E this morning. I had a very minute amount of bleeding yesterday. I put it to the back of my mind but then made the mistake of googling and finally asked on here in pregnancy and terrified myself. Phoned midwife this morning who said it could be a threatened miscarriage and to go to A&E. They were going to refer me to gyne but when they spoke to them with my symptoms they said they were happy for me to go home. EPU will contact me on Monday morning to get an update on my symptoms and arrange a scan. It really was a tiny bit of brown discharge and i've had no unusual cramps or anything and no bleeding since so i'm not overly worried now i've been sent home. Flippin stressful this pregnancy lark!

dawn fantastic news!! What a great start to the new year! xx

Hi All,

Michaela, so glad that the bleeding has stopped, sounds like just a glitch, I'm sure that everything will be fine now - you must be so relieved!!

Well, two days and counting until the results come in. I've just had a long chat with my Mum, who like everyone else, is convinced that our little one is going to be just fine and she does tend to be right about most things. I'm just so scared that if it's not Ok, the decision that I will have to make will be so heartbreaking and I don't know that I'll get over it, ever. She did say that if the worst does happen, my brother's GF's Mum (still with me?), had to also make a terrible decision. She found out at 16 weeks pregnant, that she had breast cancer. The decision was that she had to terminate the pregnancy to stay alive for her other two children, or continue with the pregnancy and leave all three children motherless. There was nothing wrong with the baby at all. I can't imagine what she went through.

Anyway, I shouldn't be miserable on New Years Eve I know!! So, how is going to parties tonight?!

DH and I are just staying in and having a quiet one this year. At least I'm managing to stay up longer these days - I can sometimes make it to 11pm without falling asleep - unheard of normally!! So hopefully I can make it to midnight!!

Hope you all have wonderful plans and those TTC can see 2009 as an exciting year. Lots of BFPs all around please!!

hello hello i'm here - thanks for the good wishes all, it seems to have stopped now and i'm not too worried, it wasn't much blood so i'll just wait for the letter to come through from the hospital saying when i have my introductory midwife meeting thing.

thanks for the concern though.

Bubbap, keeping everything crossed for your this month hun - wouldn't it be great to have a BFP for the beginning of 2009!!

Where's Michaela, I'm getting a bit worried now...

Hi girls

Hope you?re all good.

Michaela hope the bleeding has stopped and that you?re feeling OK.

Dawn glad the amnio went smoothly?. Fingers crossed for you for Friday.

Summerbird thanks for your message. It was more difficult because it wasn?t a friend, but my sister?s sister in law (if you still follow me!), which made my sister an aunt again, but not by me . And they also chose a name for the baby girl which was on our list .

I have been drinking this month whilst TTCing but I?ve also been the taxi driver on most of the nights out (my work?s do, my dad?s birthday, Christmas day and boxing day)? buy have still managed to enjoy some vino over the festive period! I will defos be having some vino on NYE too!

I?m on the dreaded 2WW now? AF due in around a week?s time?.and not feeling overly optimistic for this month? but I?m thinking 2009 will be our year though

Hi there,

Well, we had the amnio today and it was fine. They don't give you a local anaesthetic which I wasn't expecting so when they put in the needle I just thought that it was an anaesthetic that was more painful than the previous one and took longer, so it was a nice surprise when they finished and said that the amnio was done. It wasn't as painful as the CVS and over in about a minute, so much easier.

I've had absolutely no pain afterwards at all, no cramps or anything, so I'm really pleased about that. Looks like we may get the results on Friday aswell so we're keeping everything crossed.

Michaela, how are you feeling hun? Any more bleeding?

Hope everyone else is Ok.

Thinking of you Dawn I hope all goes well today xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
