12 months on and most people on my TTC thread are pregnant so I'm starting a new one! Come and join me if you've been TTC a while or are TTC after pregnancy loss... we've been through it all!

[iloveberries]

iloveberries Age 31, DH 32, DS 2 yrs. Been TTC #2 for a year, 1 m/c, 1 ectopic, 1 tube removed. Will be starting TTC again after my next AF.

Still following the ladies on my original TTC thread but most of them are now pregnant so whilst I'm delighted for them I wanted to start a new place for those who have been TTC for a while and are still awaiting a healthy, sticky bean in the right place.

All welcome..... nothing if off limits, nothing is TMI, no 'babydust' though please

Hey, Count and Berries, you know what you were saying about how you thought the previous thread might be unlucky but it turned out not to be?

Well, this thread is lucky - BFP this morning!

Three months and 21 days since my mmc...I can't believe it. I actually said to the test 'What???!!!' like it could answer back! IC was positive, then I confirmed with FRER and the positive showed even before the pee had travelled all the way over.

Have just had a bit of pale brown spotting but hopefully it is a breakthrough bleed or implantation bleeding, not a chemical on the way.

Now to just take each day as it comes...I will be repeating the mantra 'Today I am pregnant' and hoping that lightening doesn't strike twice.

Count hopefully AF will never show for you...fx. How did the cakes turn out?!

Muchin how was your friend? My saturday so far has involved a very, very wet school fayre. It was epically damp.

Feels I hope your doctor pulls his/her finger out soon. For them to fob you off just because you are under thirty is rubbish. Some things in the NHS just shouldn't be age related. On a similar theme, I heard a care home manager say on the radio yesterday that the way the NHS makes elderly people with multiple health issues pay for their own care is very very unfair - she made the point that if it was a young person who needed nursing care they wouldn't have to sell their house etc. Ageism and arbitrary rules are rife in the NHS it seems.

Ok, off I go, pinching myself all the while...

:) Whoooo hoooo disco!!!!
Huge congratulations to you. Really pleased for you!
( and bang goes your 60day sperm theory!!) xx

Thanks Berries, yes, turns out he can have a fever and drink and still get me pregnant! I think he is looking forward to a drink tonight. In fact I'm pretty sure his second thought after 'yeah!!!' was 'boooooze!'

Huge congrats Disco!!!!!!!
My cakes were a hit everyone loved them!
Welll had no reason but I also POAS cheapy and it's a BFP I am just terrified as its my 2nd cycle and didn't even try!!!!!
Dazed, scared and confused!!!!
It's here in writing " Pregnant" 2-3!!!!!!

Oh my god!!! Huge congrats Disco and Count absolutely amazingly fantastic news

Ha ha ha Count you wait ages for a bfp and then two come along at once! Congratulations Count my BFP twin . Your news made me go ' awww' out loud.

Moo thank you my dear....y'know, with your reproductive health improving all on its own AND clomid I am sure you won't be far behind.

I will stay on this thread for a bit until I feel brave enough to join festie, rusulka
and liliana on their preg thread. Is that ok with everyone?

Fingers crossed that everyone else will have some good luck of their own soon x x x x x x x x x

Oh Disco please please stay!!! At least until the end of the month!! Then, hopefully........we can all move together

Disco - bless you! I'm totally totally in shock and now ever so paranoid of every twinge but I know it's expected!!!!!
When I'm feeling stronger I will love to pop back with all of the others in time!
I won't be talking about this pregnancy as I'm just not believing it!
Disco - pls let me know what thread you go to!!!
Eeeekkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!
Not been back to work yet!!!!!!!!'

What did I say ladies?? I knew a wave of bfps were about to come along!!! Mine and moo's turn this month too please!!! Count - congrats to you too mate! Great news and extra nice for me to know my fellow ectopic buddy can do it! May you both have an easy eight months and take a lovely baby home in the spring. Xx

Ps count-are you a one tubed wonder too? - I am a bit obsessed with people falling pg with one tube, I like to know it happens in real life -

OMG!!!!!!! Two Bfps's!!!!! Wowzers. Ah disco and count absolutely trilled for yous both. Huge congrats. Wishing you H&h for the next eight months. Please don't feel you have to leave here. We would all like to share your journeys if yous woukd like to share.

Ok girls they have put it up to us now to join them!!!!

I had a lovely day with my friend. Btw I poas on an opk this morning and got a positive. Wtf??? I got that two weeks ago and no AF. I really am on a wtf cycle. But after being with my friend it reaffirmed how lucky I am. Think I will just chill and see what happens over next few weeks and throw those sticks out!!!

But congrats again. So happy for yous.

Ilove - I believe it's so going to work out for you soon! Me yes I have just 1 tube, but 1 is all u need! I just can't believe it still!
Not going anywhere for now but I am not goin to be posting much
Until I know it's all happening!
Munchin - it's like a bus u wait and 2 and more come at once! I have all crossed that we can all be on this beautiful journey together!

Sorry to interrupt ladies; just popped over for my regular stalk to find that not one, but two of our lovelies have got BFPs!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o

That is such wonderful news, and being an old softy and potentially quite hormonal; I actually shed a tear!!

Be lovely to see you with the other grads in time when you're feeling like it's really happening disco and count!

Hi Moo I will stay for a good while that is for sure! Especially as I've decided that early reassurance scans aren't for me (in that the two I had before the final scan last time didn't reassure me at all and just made me more confused) so will basically find out if all is well in 6 to 8 weeks time if I get that far.

Count have you come down from that cloud yet?! And Berries it just goes to show you can do it with just one tube so be hopeful :)

Muchin thanks! Maybe you were gearing up to ovulate two weeks ago but didn't for some reason, and now your ovaries are having a second attempt? It would make sense with the 14 day thing.

Festie thanks! And it's nice to see you back here.

DP and me stayed in bed for ages this morning for ages talking about names. We know the risks of it all going wrong again but for the time being I'm pregnant so we're going to enjoy it. I tried to be all logical last time and it didn't stop me from falling apart so sod it!

The line on this morning's internet cheapie was stronger. My temps are still up and the spotting really is just the faintest um, buff colour, only a shade different from normal so hoping it won't turn into a chemical.

Thanks Festie and the rest of you!
Trying to remain calm and not think about the slight mild cramping that I know is normal but still terrifying! I have to have a scan just to confirm baby is in the right place!!! Fingers crossed!!!!
Disco - when is your due date, not worked mines out as cant remember when my last AF was need to look it up!
Today I'm still shock but do scared to be happy!!!! Mixed emotions!

i imagine you will have mixed emotions count. I think after an ectopic you almost lose the excitement that comes with a BFP as the first thing you think is "but is it in the right place". You'll do well to get an early scan though and i'm sure that will confirm baby is in the right place.

BFPs are never quite the same once you've lost a baby are they.

I'd still give my right arm for one though! (I actually would give my right arm....)

But Berries, when you have your second little one they will fight over getting to hold your hand! Don't go giving away limbs just yet :)

EDD is 18th of March, Count. I can understand why you are scared, the innocence goes when you've lost a baby. Just remember that the odds of it going right are better than it going wrong.

Is it ok if a geriatric ttc-er joins in on this thread?
Congratulations to count and disco!
Count, I feel like I kind of know you from the other threads, it's lovely news, I hope and pray it all goes well for you . x

Disco - I roughly calculated and it puts me 14/3/13
Yes my odds didn't help me last time! My clearblue puts me at 2-3
Weeks! Ohhhhhhh I have everything crossed for us that all will be well!
Hi Irish - glad to see you here, we are a lovely bunch!
Ilove - I have a feeling it will be you real soon!!

disco your comment made me smile!!! Thanks!
The wave of bfps has started now! Anyone else testing soon? X

Yay 2 BFPs!!!! Congrats Disco and Count, this really put a smile on my face today! And fx for berries and moo!
Welcome irish - come try with me - it feels like I'll be sticking around for a while ;)

Still can't figure out if I have ov'd this cycle. Had day 21 test taken today, so I guess that will tell me. Hospital appointment is Thursday, can't stop thinking about it.

I think I was silently hoping and praying that I'd be pregnant again by then, and everything would be fine and my whole shitty ttc history up until now would just be bad luck and over with. Anyway I suppose investigations are much better than rolling along not knowing.

Hope everyone had a good weekend, so excited to finally see some BFPs on here, remember - today I am pregnant! Having lost a baby makes it harder, but we've got to believe.

Hi ladies , it's great the positivity flowing here with count and disco happy news. Lovely march babies. Hope yous are keeping well and as the others have said today you are pregnant.

Welcome irishmammy. I think we may have chatted before on another thread.

Mezza I will be around here for a while I'd say. Good luck with hospital appointment. At least your doing something and finding out info that will hopefully help.

Hello moo and berries.

I'm still having achy pains and still no AF. Defo not pg. I think you may be right disco my body must be trying to ovulate again. It doesn't fill me with confidence that I have many eggs left.

Crashing in to say Hi and a HUGE congratulations to Count and Disco, I'm so thrilled for you both You know where we are when you want to pop over and join us.

Still have everything crossed for Moo Berries and all you other lovely ladies. Hope you're all ok, missing catching up with you regularly.

Hi Irish nice to see another new face on this thread!

Count aha, four days before mine! I do get you mean about the odds, didn't help me either last time but it's got to go our way eventually and it may just be our time this time? Fingers crossed it will be ok for both of us. When do you get your scan?

Mezza knowing is better than not knowing. It could be something that is eminently treatable. You must be scared though. I bet thursday still seems a long way away...good luck for the appointment and make sure you come back and tell us all about it.

Muchin you only need one egg. Why do you think you don't have many left? Age?

I had to tell the dentist I was pregnant at my check-up as he wanted to x-ray me. It felt weird saying it. I did get my check-up for free though having admitted the fact! Touch wood, no spotting today, darker line...AF will be late tomorrow. I'm so paranoid I'm even taking extra sanitary protection to work :( hope I don't have to use it.

Thanks Lil!

Hi all - had bloods taken today and will have to return 48 hours to see if it's inline with my pregnancy I'm a nervous wreck they didn't scan as they said they wouldn't see anything?????
Horrible feeling every niggle pain and I'm in a panic!!!!
How u doing disco?
Hi Lil - hope your good! I will love to pop over as soon as I'm in the clear!!
Mezza- I have everything crossed it will work out and no tests needed!
Munchin - only 1 and at that right time is all that's needed!!
