Thread number 5!

We're still going strong and nobody has even given birth yet. New graduates welcome!

Here are the stats

I'm alright thanks :). Absolutely shattered this morning though after picking OH up from work at 2am this morning...currently running on just a few hours sleep (zzzzzzz).

Hope you got home ok and are now all snuggled up in your own comfy bed (nothing better than your own bed when you're feeling 'off') xxx

Thanks u both :)! We did get home finally but at 3 am (5am Turkish time so you can imagine the state of my 2 sleep deprived kids). Then I got to sleep the grand total of 3 1/2 h and now still can't switch off and nap while dd is. I have horrendous sciatica on my right side it's driving me crazy and don't dare to take anything stronger than Panadol . Boobs are hurting more and have had not just cramping but other odd feelings in my uterus. Very faint line u can hardly see in this mornings cb at 12 dpo after 3 h of not peeing so with a dilluted sample . Asked DH to get a frer . Not holding much hope because of my losses but I'm in state here :(

Hi All Great to see so many names I recognise! Glad to see you are doing well in your different stages!!
I am 11 +4 and have my scan next week soooo nervous/excited!!

Hope all are having a good day!

Awww glad your well sazzle :) it feels like yesterday piac and getting my bfp! It really has flown by.
Yes a little boy...number four god help me!! lol no seriously Im excited now to meet him and see what he looks like

The heats been a killer some days I just want to be naked!!

Eeeek - I'm just under a week behind you (10+5 today). Can't wait for my scan - just want to know everything's ok and then I can relax a little.

I'm liking that this thread if coming back to life again :)

Congratulations littlemisssunshine! When is your first scan?

Nordic, glad you are home safely. You must be shattered! I hope that FRER is waiting ready for tomorrow morning.

Spotti, you will sleep well tonight after last night I reckon. Sleep is even more necessary when preg I am finding!

Blah couldn't resist the frer when DH came home and used one even though I'd just peed an hour before and bfn of course .

From this morning . A very faint line buts it's
there but just started spotting bright red so don't think it will work out . Cramps and lower back pain are the same as for the last few days since 7-8 dpo and am now 13 dpo ,

Christ almighty do you realise what I just went throughout I find you all!
Hope you are all ok. Hi to those I don't know!! AND MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!!

I am hoping all your pregnancies are progressing as they should and you're scan pictures are ace!!

Wanted to keep you updated (if you're bothered lol!) with my end!
So, due date for my first has gone (21st July) and was totally and utterly devastated! It doesn't help that I'm still not fecking pregnant!

I had my follow up appt after number 6 last month and my appt was 2 days off due ov date and we had sex 2 days before. We were told to stop trying, have a proper period after last mc, then 7 days following ov the next cycle they'd check nk cells.
Well, I was relieved I ov'd late last month so I didn't catch and ov'd this cycle on Saturday. Was due my test next Monday, however they have slapped me with a bill (we were never told of any cost at our consultation, so assumed they were no longer charging) and DH and I have decided not to have it.
Where does it stop? They said it could be inconclusive, so does that mean they'll want to test me for other things at a cost?? We always said we'd never pay for tests of have ivf etc.

We have the most amazing son who is 3 in a couple of weeks, and I feel I've not been making the most of him for the last year as I've been so caught up is all this. I thank my lucky stars every time I look at him that I at least managed to get him!

So, I researched last night things I could take and I have bought out Holland and Barrett today!
I'm armed with a Pregnacare conception, Vit B complex with vitamin C slow release, vitamin D3, CoQ10, Baby aspirin (shhhhhh!!), progesterone from my last cycles that people have said use from BFP rather than OV, EPO, and Omega 3, I think that's it!

I'm glad we've had 2 cycles off trying as last month I actually had a proper AF! However I did have 6 days of spotting before hand, then 3 days of af, but for me my mcs always give me light spotty bleeding rather than heavy, very odd!

It's our wedding anniversary 8th September so you never know I may get some good sticky news by then :)

So just wanted to let you all know. Xxxx

Welcome back choccy :)! I hope the next cycle is your lucky one ! U so deserve it !!!
Looking at the calendar i think I'm actually 12 dpo today . Not that it changes things .

Thanks Barmy! Scan is Monday Eeek!

Fingers crossed for you choccy baby dust for your sticky bean!

I've had a lovely me day today! Hair done and everything shaved!! My hair is growing fast ALL over my body even now have some on my tummy! What will I be like by the end?!

FX for a stronger result tomorrow Nordic.
Welcome back Choccy!! We've all missed you. Sorry there's not been any conclusive answers and as you say you've got a beautiful boy, and lots of vitamins to take
I often lurk on the conception boards to look out for you, Mama and the old gang.
Hope your anniversary brings good news xxx

How are you today Nordic?

Choccy, it is so nice to see you popping in, but I wish it was to stay; hopefully that will be very soon. That sounds really frustrating with your appointment. The vitamins and giving yourself time sound like a good idea, you have had so much stress in recent months. Thinking of you.

I'm off :(, bleeding more and no BFP on a test this morning ... The story of my life

Sorry Nordic. :( xx

Just popped in to see how you are all are, sorry it hasn't worked out Nordic, Good luck Choccy, hello to everyone else. I'm 14 weeks and feeling hot and bothered, and still nauseous. No second trimester glow yet!!

Sorry Nordic .

So sorry Nordic, thinking of you tonight x

Midwife appointment today, listened to the heartbeat which was such a relief, wanted to cry.
Bloods results back from booking in appointment, turns out I'm low in iron, my hb was 118, it should be 120. Midwife recommended eating more foods rich in iron but didn't seem over concerned, although I feel exhausted and have a snooze most afternoons, ( not sure how this will work when back at school)

In other news, jeans no longer fit so trying the hairband trick, not sure how long it will last x

Sorry to hear your news Nordic. Wishing you, Choccy and all those lurking and TTC sticky beans very soon. x

What is the hair band trick Jones??

Can I tentatively join in ? I remember lots of people from the Dragon thread

So sorry about your news Nordic. And very happy to see you so positive Choccy.

I am 15+2 and so far all is well. I am still VERY cautious and haven't been totally public with the news so far!

Awww somuch congratulations to you!! hope you are feeling ok...when are you due? I remember you msging me when I got my bfp

Choccy...so glad you posted in here and I saw how you are getting on, I have been wondering how you and mama were getting on. It sounds like you have had a stressful few months, will keep fingera crossed for a sticky bean very soon for you please let me know how you get on xx

Congratulations Somuch! How are you feeling? Scan go ok?

The hairband trick is when you thread an eslastic hairband in your button hole and then around your button, it's gives a few extra inches to normal trousers.
Hope that makes sense
