TTC3, 2ww anyone want to join me??

[DGLLB]

Hi all,

DH & I are TTC DC3, we have DD 4 & DS 2, AF due 6th feb....

Hi Wilting, hi DG!

Great to hear from you both.

Wilting - have all my fingers crossed for you! Hope this is your month. Did you pedal with your legs in the air afterwards (I've never felt more ridiculous, especially stark naked with DH watching). Will you keep us up to speed with all your symptom spotting?

DG - 9+6 seems a million miles away from me - you're almost there! Hope the next two weeks don't go too slow, and hope the cramping is over now so you don't have any more cause to worry. I really hate this early pregnancy period.

I actually thought it was all over this weekend. My symptoms disappeared and I started getting more tissue coming out in my wee - then we went to the beach on sunday (we're in sunny southern california) and coming back in the car I felt a jolt, checked my knickers and there was brown blood. So I burst into tears. Anyway, to cut a long story short, got bloods taken at doctors on Monday and... everything fine. Still pregnant - HCG and progesterone levels high. But god my previous MCs have turned me into a nervous wreck. Can't wait to be out of this period! I'm 6+5 and have my first scan in 8 days. It can't come soon enough although know I'll be bricking it beforehand.

So we're all in something of a state of limbo I guess. Sending positive sticky and healthy baby vibes to both of you.

Oh god mabelmay I really hope the little one is tenacious, thinking of you and try and be calm. X

You too DG, can't wait to hear how that scan goes!

Here I'm due my af on 30 march and today there is some cramping so am a teeny bit hopeful!

Ooh Wilting sounds promising! - keep us posted.

I don't want to curse anything, but over the last few days I have been feeling a lot more positive about this pregnancy sticking. The symptoms are all pretty strong and at least I've got past that first 6 week hump, which I think is when both my beans died in my previous two MCs. I'm now 7 weeks, 2 days.

Scan on Thursday. Half of me can't wait, half of me slightly dreading the anxiety of it.

When is your scan DG?

Fingers crossed for you Wilting! I'm watching this space!

Sounds promising wilting!

Please let us no how your scan goes Mabel!
My scans next Thursday it's really dragging now.....

Thinking of you DG! Be sure adn let us know how your scan goes tomorrow.

Here, no major symptoms, a slight feeling of heaviness/pressure maybe, was v tired yesterday?! No spots though which I would normally get a few days before my af....

4 days to af....

How are you doing MabelMay?

Ooh, Wilting - funny how we're all on tenterhooks for different reasons - DG and I waiting for our scans - you for AF/BFP.

My scan is tomorrow. Am now feeling so much more positive than I was before that I'm beginning to curse myself for allowing myself to feel optimistic before I've actually seen the bean. I think I'll be a ball of nerves by tomorrow afternoon though. DG, can imagine how time is dragging - today feels like an eternity, and my scans only tomorrow!

I feel so exhausted ALL the time - I think it's not helped by the progesterone supplements I'm taking, which add sleepiness to the already full-on pregnancy fatigue. Just not feeling human at all.

DG, hope time speeds up for you a bit.

Wilting, fingers still tightly crossed for you.

Will let you know how scan goes. Send positive baby vibes my way.
xx

good vibes

Thanks for the good vibes guys!!

Scan this afternoon and I'm now feeling terrible - as in and anxious, bag of nerves - and I know the hours are going to drag. It's 9.20 here at the moment and my scan isn't until 3.30pm - argh.

It's coincided with my nausea subsiding so of course now I'm allowing a little doubt to creep in. Wish my DH could come with me, but he can't.

OK.
Stay positive. Stay positive.

'speak' soon.

Your vibes worked!

Baby measuring 8+2 and saw a lovely heartbeat! Was shaking like a leaf beforehand. Just feel overwhelming relief now. Thanks so much for your thoughts.

Now hoping for equally positive news for both of you. Wilting any symptoms? DG, what date is yr scan?

That is wonderful MabelMay I am so HAPPY for you! Well done

No real symptoms here, am clinging to a lack of spots as my only real sign... af due on Sun so guess I'll know soon enough.

DG how you doing?

Yay so happy for you Mabel

Have you got your 12 week scan date yet?

Wilting dont worry about symptom spotting (easier said than done I know) I convinced my self I wasn't pg because of no real symptoms but I was

I'm doing okay currently 11+1 scans on Thursday 3rd April, 6 days to go, please keep fingers crossed for me

Thanks a lot guys!

Wilting, keeping fingers crossed. I realised that the 'symptoms' are so deceptive. And yeah, as you remember, it was the one month I was sure it hadn't happened that I ended up with the BFP.

DG, also thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed for the 6th. Yes -my 12 week scan is scheduled for 22nd April. Here in the US they're so much more pushy about all these diagnostic tests for chromosomal issues and other 'problems' - which my ob-gyn seems very keen for me to have given my ancient age (39). - hey, nice positive thinking doc. But I'm just going to stick to nuchal fold and bloods and that's it. What about you?

Sending positive wishes to you both.

No joy here, af arrived this evening :(

Oh well, try and try again I guess...

So sorry wilting

Mabel they only do the Nuchal fold test here now from what I could make out from what the midwife was saying, if that shows problems they do bloods, it's changed from when I had my other dc's, scan in 3 days so il let you no

Oh that's rubbish wilting. Sorry to hear that - just came on to check as knew it was due but was hoping...
Here's to a sticky April bean instead.

If you ever feel like trying acupuncture, I really recommend it. Although know time and money can get in the way.

DG - looking forward to hearing about your scan! Fingers crossed for you. x

That's lovely news mabel!

Can I join in this thread. CD15 for me, 1st cycle TTC no. 3. With me luck x

Good luck tranquillity!

My sis has been recommending it too Mabel, might try it...

How are you getting on?

Hi tranquility - good luck! How old are your two DCs?

Wilting - What I noticed when I did the acupuncture is that I had quite a bit more EWCM in the build up to ovulation than I'd had in previous months. It's also incredibly relaxing - so if nothing else it puts your head in quite a nice space. There's definitely no harm in trying.

I'm fine. Had a small moment of anxiety yesterday when cramps were a little stronger than usual stretching feelings - but they seem to have passed. I'm so bloody tired so much of the time - my evenings are just me collapsed on the sofa. Quite looking forward to getting my energy back at some point. I think the progesterone supplements I'm taking (on recommendation of my ob-gyn) are definitely exacerbating the tiredness.

Time still dragging (8+5 weeks now)

DG thinking of you and imminent scan.

Good luck tranquility keep us posted!

It's maybe worth a try wilting, even to relax you

Iv had a lot of stretchy achy pains Mabel, try not to worry to much easier said than done I know....

Well today's the day of my 12 week scan I'm just a little bit excited & nervous, wish me luck ladies

My DC's are 12 & 9 so big age gap but sure it'll be fine!!

How did it go DG? Thinking of you!

Hi wilting, scan went really well baby was very active & wouldn't keep still, she eventually managed to do all the measurements and looked for Down syndrome, they put me back 4 days so baby's due 20th October, I had the blood test straight after and will hear the results of this within 7-10 days, how are you feeling?

Aw that is great :) so glad for you. Hopefully the blood tests will be positive too.

I'm fine, have purchased an opk kit for this round!
