trying for a September baby, anyone want to join?

MMM glad to hear beanie's making their presence felt enough to put your mind at rest but not causing too much discomfort.

I lost the weight with gastric bypass surgery. A week after having DD I was over 23 stone (and i'm only 5ft 3), and for the whole 3rd trimester was wheelchair bound coz my pelvis couldn't cope with the weight. I managed to lose 4 stone by dieting in DDs first 6mths but then regained 2, so was 21 stone when my GP referred me for surgery. As much as for the weight loss benefits the surgery was to try and cure my type 2 diabetes to make a further pregnancy less risky. Many people who have it find their blood sugar has returned to normal within days of the surgery, so much so that they're starting to do the surgery on people with type 2 who aren't obese. My diabetes hasn't yet gone completely but is hugely improved and my diabetic team have given me the go-ahead to start trying.
DD was delivered at exactly 38 weeks because of both the diabetes and cholestasis. I would have been induced at 38 wks anyway because of the diabetes (as diabetics tend to have huge babies because of all the sugar in the blood), the cholestasis just made it all the more urgent. I developed that at 35 wks and had to have daily foetal heart traces and take drugs for it til 38 wks. I had this awful obstetrician whose english was pretty poor and he kept saying, "with cholestasis - after 38 weeks, 1 in 10 - dead baby" He totally freaked me out but I found by googling that he didn't have a clue what he was talking about as the figure is more like 1 in 200 or something, and even that figure is based on those where it wasn't diagnosed in time, as if it's diagnosed you just don't go over 38 weeks at all. Anyway.... I'm rambling now and should get to bed! When i wake up it'll be 6dpo....too soon to test dya think?

Ah, I see why you want to stay on here. Sounds like you've got lots of challenges to contend with, as well as a restricted BD'ing schedule, I'm really really rooting for you now. Did you have to have dd early because of the cholestasis?

Congrats on having shifted so much weight! How long did it take & how did you manage? Because I was determined not to get too dominated by ttc, I took out a 3 month subscription in the new year to Slimming World to try to lose 2 stones. That was a proper tempting of fate. Now the best I can hope for is not to gain too much.

I'm still feeling pretty fine; full of energy, very little nausea or any other symptoms. To be honest it has me a little freaked as I felt a fair bit more grotty at this point last time, and I had a little rant about it on the Oct thread because I was starting to worry that beanie wasn't very strong & wouldn't last. Over the last few days, however, I have felt a bit more like my tummy is 'occupied', and I get nauseous if I'm hungry or brushing my teeth, so I know there's some growing going on now. I'm hoping that all this healthy eating I've been doing will mean that I don't end up with the really bad ms I had last time, 7+ months of vomiting many times a day.

Hiya MMM, glad to see theres someone still here! My LP is 9 days atm. Was very fortunate to have DD I reckon (especially considering how unhealthy I was - was over 20 stone at time of conception). We spent over a year bd'ing around cd 12-16 then abstaining completely from cd16 for fear of dislodging anything that may have stuck. Wasn't til I bought a Persona machine I discovered I didn't ov til cd 20-22, so we had spent the whole year avoiding bd'ing during my fertile window. I conceived DD on the 2nd cycle of doing it at the right time, so had really hoped that info (and being over 6 stone lighter) would make it a lot easier this time around.
Although my due date will be early october, I'm diabetic and therefore if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again I'll have my baby (probably by planned cs) at least 2 weeks before the due date, hence sticking with the september thread for now. I also had cholestasis with dd so with the increased risk of stillbirth that brings after 38 wks theres no way they'd let me go past that.
I know it's daft superstition but this threads been so lucky for so many I don't wanna jinx anything by even thinking about the october thread yet, I'll have plenty of time on there if this month doesn't take
Hows things going with you? Are you feeling good or has the dreaded morning sickness kicked in yet?

That should be succeed of course

No, you're not alone forces, I'm still lurking when I can. Very determined to see this thread to the end, me .

Fingers crossed that your Bd'ing has worked this month. How long is your luteal phase atm?
Mine has been 9 days since having dd (apparently due to breastfeeding), and I now realise that's short enough to affect implantation. I now feel very very very lucky to have pulled off a conception after finding this out.

If you suceed this month you'll have an October EDD, so why not spend a little time on the oct thread if you're feeling lonley?

Congrats mummy2t

Updated for Wednesday. Am I all alone now?

Have updated list for today and corrected mine as I seemed to have lost a day somewhere along the line. Not had much time to get online in the last week, I've done the mad dash to Blandford camp twice to BD on Wednesday and Friday (the guys in the guardroom are getting to know me now) as DH wasn't getting home this wkend due to going on exercise, then I ov'd on Saturday night (cd19) according to tcoyf software so hopefully those two BDs were within the right window. Been temping religiously to get a better idea of whether the b6 is working to lengthen my luteal phase.

Congrats missieMM and littlewifey, can't believe how lucky this thread has been - here's hoping we get some more.
Headfairy, an early scan really put my mind at rest with DD. Being diabetic and therefore at higher risk of mc they scanned me at just 5 wks and even that early we saw the heartbeat - felt much relief that there was indeed something there, but I confess I still held my breath every time I went to the loo.

Bye gateau and gettingstarted, better luck for October.

Sorry to hear that Gateau

Congratulations to all you newly pg ladies. I will love you and leave you as my AF arrived on Thursday.
And the rest of you, I hope to see you on the October thread. I'm heading there now.

Hi everyone...

Congratulations missy and littlewifey, sorry to hear about af issy and sunnydale. I hope your IVF is successful issy, good luck.

Littlewifey, I'm due for my doc's appt at 9.50 today to register as pg.... so paranoid, I'm going to have a chat with her and see if she thinks an early scan is worth it. We have a fantastic epu here where I can walk in without an appt and have a scan, I don't even need a reason, just being anxious is considered reason enough! I have absolutely no reason to be anxious but it's impossible not to. Good luck with whatever you decide, I hope it all goes well!

Congratulations missiemoosmummy .

Sorry AF got you gettingstarted.

Congratulations missiemoosmummy

Sadly AF arrived for me today, so I will completely migrate to October now. Good luck all you graduates and see the rest of you over there

Wow what a lucky thread! Congratulations MssieMoosMummy.

Well my cycle is shot to pieces I'm CD 32 and think I finally ovulated yesterday.

I never got a true positive on the OPK though got a strong-ish line yesterday (plus some random bleeding) and the same the day before along with ovulation pain and other promising signs.

I'd like an insurance bdance today but daren't ask! We are bdanced out. DH has been fabulous and must be exhausted. I'll keep up with the opks till I am sure there isn't a true positive to come though.

Congratulations MissieMoosMummy!! This thread has been quite a lucky one

Got my BFP this morning!

Had to use a cleablue digital, as the ebay cheapies were driving me nuts - the +ve line was so very faint I couldn't be sure I if was imagining it.

Provided Beanie sticks, my EDD (based on ov CD23) will be 28th Sept so I may just get my sept baby after all!

Good luck with your testing gettingstarted, and to anyone else still waiting to test!

(I can't stop grinning, even at this ungodly hour!)

Sorry to hear that gettingstarted . Maybe tomorrow will get your bfp.

I had a bfn as well today. 2 more days to the end of my 2ww. I'm also going to take my mind off things by going shopping, but to the much less exciting Halfords

It's a BFN off to IKEA to keep busy

So that's where you've all gone!
I think I'll join you all, and keep popping up on this one too. If I get a BFP I'll have a late Sept/early Oct EDD.

HI - just checking in.

Congrats to all the BFPs... there's a pretty good graduation list on this thread!

Also noticed that pinkie08 and Warmseabreeze are on this list but are well entrenched in the October thread so AF must have got them.

Fingers crossed for all those still to test x

Congratulatiosn littlewifey! That's such great news, I can totally understand your worries being pg after a mc I'm happy and terrified at the mo, anxiously checking everything.

just have to hope for the best and pray, sending stickiness to you! x

Good luck gettingstarted and Issy, sorry it didn't work out for you this time but good luck with the IVF, see you on the October thread xx

Hi All, still lurking around here, but mainly moved to October thread, due to test tomorrow. I seemed to have turned into a complete nutcase symtom spotter but now I'm testing tomorrow (I can't wait til Sunday) I've persuaded myself its going to be a BFN before its happened. Will let you know
