Morning,
Absolutley do not give up a little tipple of wine if that is what is fancied. The long term misery of ttc needs to be balanced with some fun. Small volumes of alcohol will make no difference.especially where the rest of the diet is healthy and water is drunk by the gallon. I can recommend maxing out on omega oils. These are brill for egg development. In fact I think eggs like a drop of rioja
too. I had 3 very heavy sessions in the first month of pregnancy. Unknowingly of course but the baby seems happy enough and growing at the rate of knots.
Critter - roomy hoohaa??? [Confused]
My goodness me, never heard of that test!!!!Although very reassuring info when it comes to the big push. I fear I have the opposite problem according to my lap. Not sure if that means anything but will ask the midwife. Congratulations on your scan. So glad all is well. Hope the nausea isn't too nasty.
Buzz- so glad all is well. I really really want you to have a boring and uneventful pregnancy as that is what you deserve. Take each day as it comes, plenty of distractions if you can.
Euro, I am sorry you have been stimming unnecessarily but glad excess embryos are looking unlikely. We wil all be rooting for you on sunday. Just remember that you can get pregnant, your womb is receptive, this is just a numbers game and a matter of time.
Gin - how are you feeling? Has the nausea finally disappeared? I have bump envy, I bet you look amazing. My sonograoher studied my abdomen and predicted I would be a late bulger. I guess height and hip shape in my case (ridiculously wide) might have something to do with it.
Madd-I am so sorry for those night sweats, they must be dreadful. And to top it off you had a horrid post ivf af.I hope you have lots of fun things lined up this summer. How is mr mad? Bet he is sad to see you go through all this rubbishy pain and night sweats.
Rabbit - so sorry for the anxiety. I really don't think there is a way to completely deal with it when it comes to long term ttc. I think half accepting that it goes with the territory is a bit of a relief but I dont think it can be totally eliminated, I know I never did. I have said it once and I will say it again. Long term ttc is massive. It is up there with life's biggest traumas and the stress levels and daily impact are immense. I would love to see some people we all know deal with this crap day in day out whilst holding down responsible jobs, being good partners, daughters, sisters, being a pleasant person and trying to do normal stuff. Most people couldnt/wouldn't.
Rabbit - I am really glad that you had a positive experience with the new clinic. You deserve to be treated with kindness and be made to feel like the fertile person you are who is in with a great shot.
Sea - sorry about the a+ announcement. They are really stingy and stabby. I do feel for you. Sounds like this girl was genuinely concerned for your feelings which although can make it feel worse shows she must be a nice person who is attempting to empathise. Big hugs honey. Don't know much about immunes but I do know listening to the inner voice is really important and wont lead you far wrong.
Well I am off work and the gp has diagnosed me with a throaty viral infection plus good old reflux, feel yacky. I cant remember the lasr time I felr well/normal. Glowy second trimester where are you? ???
