If TTC # 2 has turned you into a nut job this thread is for you! (Part 4)

[sebsmummy1]

Hey!! We have had lots of graduates from Part 3, so let's get on the TTC bus part 4 and make this place a ghost town.

Destination Pregnancy, choooo choooooo

Awww Sebs, it must be a nightmare.. I had a huge bleed at 7 weeks with DS.. was sent for a scan the next day and it was fine.. some blood had collected somewhere for some reason.. haematoma or something.. sorry I'm being a bit vague.. but I am a zombie today! Anyway, as everyone says.. brown tinges of old blood are fine I'm sure.. its the cramping, etc thats the bad sign. Fingers crossed for you on Friday!!

Yes Fedup, I'm in the 2ww too.. and its hell this time.. I don't know whether it was because we did somehow by total fluke get the BD timing pretty spot on.. (bearing in mind if it wasnt for my bad back I would have been in a hotel in London and missed it entirely!).. but I am symptom spotting like crazy, and totally doing my own head in over it. I know I'll be crushed if I get AF next week.. I'm due on anywhere from Monday onwards.. just hoping if I do get AF that at least my LP will get to 12/13 days and my cycle settles a bit more.

All the talk of holidays has also got me planning.. we are looking at Portugal in June.. I need something to take my mind of ttc, and to look forward to with all this horrible rain! Sooo depressing!

I hope everyone else is ok.xxx

Hello everyone, just wanted to say sebs all the best for Friday and try not to worry about the brown gloop, as punky said a bit of this is fine, and on Friday you'll be able to really start feeling lots more confident as I'm sure this one is sticky

Hang in there punky and others on the 2ww, just a really crappy time and feels like time stands still doesn't it? Stay busy busy busy, that's the best you can do for now. Wishing you all loads of luck.

Absolutely zero symptoms here so still feeling all totally surreal. I'm thinking if telling my parents when I see them tomorrow - even though its early I think it makes sense in case something goes wrong and I need their help with dd. not going to see the doc for a while though, hardly seems much point when I'm told the midwife won't see me for weeks yet.

Hi ladies, new name for LucyJo! Hoping a change is what I need....
Fedup sorrry you have been feeling shitty, I can understand you feeling like you will never have a baby, but just to echo what everyone else has said, you have successfully gotten pregnant 3 times, it is just a matter of waiting for a sticky one, but as we all know the waiting game is bfp (big fat pants!!) Booking lots of things to keep you busy is an excellent idea.
Sebs how amazing that you have got your scan so soon! Not long to go til you can put your mind at rest and see your little squirmer. I think you will be fine, but it must be so awful to constantly be on knicker watch. How many weeks will you be on fri then?
Punky do it!! Book yourself a holiday, you are guaranteed to get a bfp then! We are thinking of waiting to find out when DHs parents are coming to visit (they live in Oz) so we can leave DD with them and run away on a couples only holiday for a few days! Trying to see the positives in only one child...Good luck with your 2WW, try not to get yourself too worked up! Will you POAS beforehand?
Zippy when will you going for your tests? Do they just involve a blood test? How long have you been trying?
Cake hope you start to feel sick soon!
I have just bought some clearblue smileys so will start using them in a few days, but am toying with the idea of booking a Drs appointment...

hello lucy/ginger, I went to the drs after 5 months of trying (6 cycles), age 35 with regular periods and an instantly conceived, still breastfeeding one year old. She ordered blood tests straight away and a hospital scan the next week which was normal. I didn't realise, until reading here, that this was perhaps an unusual (if admirably pro active) GP reaction.

These tests are ultrasounds through the month to see exactly when OV occurs, I have been TTC since last summer.

Sebs, any updates? x

Cake, I would definitely tell your parents. If you would tell them (need them) if something went wrong it makes sense to tell them now, and have some close family to support you now.

Thanks Ginger, we are definitely booking the hols once we have sorted the logistics of flights/villa prices. I'm home now (working week is over) so am going to get this sorted by the weekend. DH is also now talking about us going away on a cruise in Oct (just the 2 of us for a short cheap one).. I had to point out that we can't go if I am pregnant as you can't cruise over 5.5 months.. so we can't book it until at least May/June (if I am not preggers) when I am guessing it will be sold out.

I am hoping to wait for next Monday to POAS. I will be 11DPO then which I know is still early.. but I know I will be anyway.. then probably again Tuesday/Wednesday until Af comes!

After sending above message about symptom spotting driving me crazy I went out to lunch and got a nosebleed out of nowhere.. I just thought I had a weirdly runny nose that wouldnt stop.. started dabbing with tissues and realised it was blood. I never get nosebleeds unless really hot.. so anyway, spent half the afternoon googling 6DPO and nosebleeds to see if it was a pregnancy sign.. NUTS!!! (for those that want to know it didnt come up with anything conclusive)

Bad news from me I'm afraid girls, bleeding this evening, dark brown turning to red and getting heavier.

I feel ok, it's been on the cards for a while now as the discharge hasn't let up although I was trying to kid myself all was well.

Thank god I didn't flog the fertility monitor!!!

Obviously I've still got the scan tomorrow which I imagine will confirm it was a blighted ovum or a missed miscarriage.

Anyhow, will update tomorrow and then it's back with the TTC. That was much more bloody fun than trying to keep this pregnancy going. Weird thing is it makes me wonder if those psychics will end up being right after all timing wise!!!

Oh sebs I'm sorry. The scan tomorrow will at least show you what's what, and who knows you might be surprised and things are ticking along ok, just with some weird discharge stuff! I do really hope so, keeping everything crossed for you.

I told my parents and sister today, they were delighted of course and it was nice to know that if things should go wrong they will be on hand to help out, especially with dd. I feel very bloated and think I look about 6 months preg, but other than that, nothing. I was the same with dd, really want some symptoms to make me believe it's real, but seeing my friend yesterday who has terrible morning sickness made me very grateful not to feel anything!

ginger like the new name

Wishing you all lots of luck and I'm going to keep lurking to see your BFPs rolling in x

Ah Sebs, I so hope everything is ok for you tomorrow. But if not it sounds like you are a bit mentally prepared and maybe half expecting it after all the bleeding/discharge? You are right, ttc is much more fun!! Which month did the main psychic predict then for you? Have you been getting any cramps too tonight or just the bleeding?
Cake glad you spilled the beans! I think if it ever happens for me too I will tell my parents early on, I was going to leave it til the 12 week scan but they know now that we have trying for a while, so it will be nice news for them!! I'm not normally one to share alot with people, but they figured out something was up!
Punky surprises me that google came up with nothing, I would think nosebleeds are a sign!! Good luck for monday, exciting! In terms of the cruise, at least by may/ june you will get a positive either way, a baby or a cruise later in the year!
Zippy your Dr does sound amazing. I'm a bit scared to go and see ours incase they turn me away, as I'm 27 and it's only been 8 months, but I am starting to suspect there must be something wrong.
Sebs will be thinking of you tonight (not in a weird way!) Good luck for tomorrow, or some hand holding at least. x

Sorry been off the radar for a couple of days (so busy I can't cope) and saw this sebs. Oh no, my lovely. Thinking of you so much. It's so horrid. It might not be bad news but does sound so similar to what happened with me. I hope for you it is not the same but also know how hard it is with blood coming out to have even an ounce of positivity. Big big hugs for you and keep us posted. Hope husband and mum etc are around to help - I hope you aren't going to scan on your own? Xxxx

Hiya, I'm ok and yep I've had plenty of time to get my head around a worst case scenario so I am going to go to the scan on my own, no point in anyone else getting upset alongside me.

The blood threatened to be heavy and ended up being brown and watery and nothing overnight so I am totally confused and SO bloody glad I am being scanned today as if I wasn't if be self referring I think.

I am praying it's not ectopic, anything else I can deal with. Will report back later, loads of love to you all for bring so supportive xx

Good luck sebs
I hope it's not ectopic, I really do. IF and I say IF it is, they may admit you to hospital so be prepared for that. BUT I am still holding out hope that this is all nothing and there is a little bean growing nicely. Thinking of you xxxxxx

Thinking of you today Sebs, and praying for you it is not ectopic, and all is fine. But whatever happens you can deal with it, and we are all here for you.xxx

Oh Sebs, bless you going on your own! You must be a pretty strong cookie! We will all be thinking of you anyway. What time is your scan? Do let us know what the updates are. What an emotional whirlwind for you! At least by tonight you will know where you are up to.

Hadn't actually thought about being admitted. I guess my partner would just have to leave work and come back to look after DS. God this pregnancy lark is scary.

Scan is at midday xx

Ok, it's not ectopic so I am totally ecstatic about that!!

I was shaking so hard throughout that she couldn't tell me that much bar it had good blood supply, she could see the yolk sac and it looked how she would expect it to look.

No heart beat but she didn't seem concerned, re the bleeding she said she thought it had hit a blood vessel during implantation and that's why I keep getting this old blood.

To be honest I don't really think she knows at this stage and was trying to be a sweetie. We all know the key scan is going to be the next one assuming I get that far.

Today I am pregnant.

That's good sebs! Hurrah for not ectopic and for things looking as they should. Did they said wait til the 12 wk scan or will the do another to check for HB in a week or two?

Sebs that is fantastic news! So so pleased for you, it's not ectopic and that is the biggy, her explanation makes perfect sense to me and whilst the blood is scary and yuck I know plenty of people who have had this and go on to have happy, healthy babies. So the usual thing, try to relax if you can, easier said than done I know but this is really really positive news.

I have an urge to poas again today. Ridiculous, I've done 4 already and all positive so what's wrong with me?! I thought the madness would go after the 2ww but seems I'm doomed to madness!

That's how I feel Cake, the main thing is it is where it should be and now it's up to the gods as to whether it develops ok.

Fed up I am back there on the 17th February having a follow up scan assuming I don't have any mc type symptoms in between time xx

Just a quicky, that's fab news Sebs, am really happy and relieved for you, now fingers crossed for 17th.xxx

Thanks Punky, I appreciate everyone's posts here, means a lot xx

crikey every time I go away for a couple of days something dramatic happens. I was all ready for bad news for you too there sebs, and was delighted to see the last update. well done you, sebs.

Just jumping on quickly to say yey Sebs!!! Very happy and relieved for you. Fingers crossed you have a smooth journey the rest of the pregnancy. Roll on feb 17th hey! I am shattered so think I might just go to bed and read my book. And no I'm not pg, we haven't even dtd yet this cycle! Just bought some clearblue ov sticks so will start using them tomorrow. Do you know what though, I really can't be bothered having sex this month!
Hope you're all ok x

Know the feeling ginger I'm not looking forward to period not really cos it means I'm not pregnant but more it means I need to conjure up some energy from somewhere mysterious to have a lot of sex! One night maybe but when it's lots it's so hard at the mo when all I want to do at night is sleep (and no time in morn unless we set alarm for 5 which is pushing it more than a little bit!!!)

Have a good weekend ladies xxx

Ps sebs 17th is 2 and a bit weeks away so that's good they are scanning you again without making you wait til 12 weeks. Phewf. Hopefully blood stays away now xx
