TTC first baby

[cwtching]

Hello all! DH and I are TTC our first baby, I'm 31, he's 32. We've only been trying for a month so it is extremely early days but I'm so excited at the prospect.

DH may have some fertility issues (picked up on a scan) but I was pretty convinced it was going to be a BFP straight away as I had so many symptoms - but that shows how much I know!

Is anyone else TTC their first baby? Please join and keep me company!!

Actually, it obviously started off with only one fibroid that was "the size of a grapefruit" but they fruit cakes left it for so long that it doubled in size and grew another one...

What is a dermoid?

That's terrible kicking how that kind of haemorrhaging isn't considered life threatening is anyone's guess!!

It's not a moan really. Just something that happened in the past

It's just one of those things that I battle with. I am healthy and I've looked after my body and all that and I still had mounds of shit. I am sure a lot of women have had the same.

So it does tend to make me a bit bitter :D

It's a type of cyst but it contains really disgusting stuff:

From wiki:

"A dermoid cyst is a cystic teratoma that contains developmentally mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue."

Sexy, eh?

Where was it?

Very sexy indeed!!! :)

But its gone now at least

On my ovary.

Youch ok. Sounds sore!

Teeth?! How?! Ouch!!

From what I understand it's basically stem cells that can develop and mature into any kind of tissue. Surprisingly they're not uncommon.

Shew that's very hectic though.

I suppose its where the research starts from about potentially growing organs and human bits and stuff

Wow Medusa you poor thing that sounds hideous - teeth on your ovary

But like kicking said, underneath the grimness it is actually also quite interesting in a weird kind of way....

No idea what you ladies talking about, but it sounds gross.

Oh my god, you lot have been through a lot. Like someone else pointed out further up, its scary just how common these things are.

*grose (I think that's the correct spelling)

I may be wrong but i think its inappropriate to say "gross" (correct spelling included)

Kicking - wasn't meant to be offensive! Sorry if it was! Didn't mean it like that!

No worries, it is kind of gross, I was pretty shocked when I read up on it. I never saw it or asked what was in it but most likely it will have just been filled with fat cells but I kind of liked the idea of having an evil twin living inside me who I could blame when I did bad things. DH and I had a running joke about it whenever chocolates went missing or things got broken.

Anyway, no AF today. Grrrrr.

Spoke too soon, AF arrived. Woohoo!

That means I had a perfectly respectible 29 day cycle. Very happy to have a fresh new cycle going, fx something good will happen this month.

Yay on the perfect cycle!!! :)

Evil twin love it! I blame the cat when things go missing/broken

I blame DH

Always right too

I bet that's why he wants a baby ;)

I blame DH too, he blames the dog

Congrats on af arriving medusa (never thought I'd say that!)

medusa hopefully that's the last AF we see on this thread

Second that

everyone to fall pregnant June 2012
