April TTC girls, the thread where everyone gets their BFP! :-)

[Ducky23]

Shiny new thread

Ducky ong that sounds exactly like my H! Especially the washing bit!
I washed his work trousers and shirt and hung them up to dry at 2pm and he moaned because apparently its too late to put washing out and they won't dry in time. And why can't I bloody wash them on Friday night when he finishes work...... Errrr maybe because I'm not a bloody slave and I have always done the washing on a Sunday! -_- men aye!
But yes thank I feel better today must have been a one off. Start work at 11 today which is nice :)

It's so irritating isn't jt ha!

Glad your feeling better

Just updating, I had my scan today and have been put forward a few days to 13 weeks exactly.

All fine though, baby was moving around and kept putting its fingers in its mouth doing a few waves. It was being a pain when it came to doing some measurements but we got them in the end.

I've added both pictures one shows the hand near the mouth and the other is your standard scan picture.

Ahh that's wicked news siarie! It's always good having your dates moved forward!

That's wonderful Siarie :) You must be so happy!

Good luck to the rest of us April girlies who are still waiting for that elusive BFP! It's got to be soon now, surely :)

That's great news Siarie :) even better having dates put forward!

Amazing news Siarie! You must be feeling so happy and relieved. I've got ages to wait til mine...

Hope you're feeling better cupcake! x

Yea thanks popple :) much better.
DH is off playing football atm it's so peaceful!!!

Omg he's just walked back through the door as I wrote that!!! Peace over lol!

It definitely feels like hitting a milestone, although you do then just replace it with the next one (e.g 20 week scan is everything going to develop right).

But the best part is we've announced on facebook now so everyone knows. Which is great as I have a bump and it would be hard to hide now.

It deffo feels more real as well, I can finally allow myself to bond a little! I've been very clinical up until now.

My PIL bought me and DH books to read for first time parents. I started reading mine last night and it's really helpful. DH's is targeted at dads so hopefully he will get loads from it, he's going to take it into work to read on his lunch breaks

Hey ladies, hope you don't mind me barging in on your thread. I was on here back in April but just couldn't keep up!! I've had a little nosey around and it's so lovely to hear about all the BFP's!!! This is obviously the thread to be on!!
An update on me..so I had a chemical pregnancy back in March and continued TTC. I got the strongest BFP beginning of September...Yay!!! At the time I was spotting. Doctors and midwife all said it was fine as it was old blood. I continued feeling anxious. But started to get excited until I was around 6 weeks, woke up at 3am with horrendous cramping and heavy bleeding. Spent all day in A&E and after lots of poking and prodding was told I was having a miscarriage. Upsetting, but I knew things weren't quite right so I started to accept it and I was slowly moving on. That was until I had a call from the hospital following one of my 48 hourly blood tests to say things weren't quite right. Back for more poking and prodding to be told it's actually an ectopic pregnancy measuring 1cm. As my HCG levels were slowly coming down the hospital decided to "watch and wait". So, back every other day for more bloods. Blood test on Sunday and nurse said it should be my last one. Yay!! I can finally move on I thought. That was until yesterday morning and a call from the hospital saying I needed to rush in as my levels have now started rising. Back for more poking and prodding to be told that actually my ectopic measures 3cm which is apparently a large ectopic (as everyone kept telling me). So, after treatment yesterday with the chemo drug Methotrexate injected into my thigh, I'm feeling sick, tired and emotional. I've been signed off for another week (at least) as this drug may wipe me out. There is a 20% chance it won't work at all and the risk of rupture remains until it's completely gone (which I'm told can take weeks to months). So drained. This has been going on for 7 weeks. I'd have been 9 weeks on Thursday. The hardest part is the length of time this has been going on for. And the fact that we are not allowed to start trying again for at least 3 months following this drug. But, fingers crossed it works and I don't rupture as the next stage is surgery and removal of my tube....although nothing will surprise me now. I have to prepare for the worst. Every time I start to feel positive the news worsens...
Hope you are all well anyway and having happy and healthy pregnancies or you're having lots of fun trying!! Give it a few months and I'll be back on track with a BFP to follow hopefully :-)
Xx

Oh el how awful for you you sound very upbeat about things though, hope this gets sorted for you quickly x

Thank you Ducky. I think it's been going on for so long nothing surprises me anymore...fingers are always crossed anyway xx

I am so sorry that sounds just awful .If I can offer some hope my friend went through something very similar her beautiful daughter is now 6 months old .

That's positive Poppet, thank you. I don't have any children so I'm panicking that's it's never going to happen or that this will affect my fertility. At least I know I can get pregnant! That's something I guess x

Sounds awful Em!!! :( :( :( hope u get some positive news soon. It's shocking how these thing can go on so long. I had a missed miscarriage in September, but it took over a month to finally get it sorted. It was horrible, u sound quite together about it all. So brave me on the other hand, Im not coping at all with my misscarriage. I had a breakdown last night and it was awful :( don't understand what's happening to me if I'm honest. But I have a doctors appointment on 4th November and hopefully sort this out. Counselling maybe? I'm not sure. I'm very shocked at how loosing a baby has affected me as I was quite a strong person. So ur amazing to be so brave and dealing with all that :) well done and nice to see u back on the thread! Really hope things pick up for u soon

El ** not Em haha :p

I'm having a bad day today, had a horrible nightmare that something went wrong and woke up with reduced movements, he's been moving just not as much/as strong as usual. Am going hospital in a bit to get checked out

Oh cupcake I'm so sorry. That's awful. I imagine a missed miscarriage is extremely difficult. I know someone who had 4 however it was due to her uterus being a funny shape. A little snip and a stitch and a happy and healthy pregnancy followed. I know it's hard but try and stay positive. Counselling sounds like a good idea. I'm thinking about it too. I may sound together but I think I'm becoming numb. I've had 7 weeks of anxiety, stress and tears, I'm not sure I have anything left in me. I've become quite matter of fact about it. You just have to try and stay strong. And take each day as it comes Ducky, hope you're OK. Definitely get yourself checked for peace of mind. He now far along are you now? I've been having real lucid dreams and nightmares for weeks and weeks. Unfortunately my body still thinks it's pregnant so that's tough. Let us know how you get on X

Excuse the typos etc!!! Using Dh's crap phone as mine smashed :-/

I'm 30+5 now, lost my daughter at 32 weeks last time so am getting v anxious hoping he's just having a quiet day.

Will let you know how I get on

Oh Ducky, I'm so sorry... My thoughts are with you. Keep us posted, hopefully they will check you over ASAP to put your mind at ease. I can't imagine what you must have gone through Xx

Have been trying to send a message for the last 10 mins now! But every time I spell out 'IC' it freezes on me !

Let's us know how it goes Ducky :)

I should ov in the next few days :) opk is almost positve so tww starts end of the week YAY!! Doing the every other day method :) so fx!

I'm on the monitors and they found HB quite quickly but I dot think he's moving much the machine shows movements though so hopefully it's just he's in a funny position. Hope he moves quickly!!!

Ohhh tww, fingers crossed cupcake

Good they found heartbeat straight away :) I bet he's just flipped himself in a strange position and u can't feel the movements he does as much :)

I hate the tww Ducky haha !

Typical he starts doing acrobatics as soon as I get in! They brought my growth scan forward to tomorrow, it was meant to be in 2 weeks.

I have my fingers crossed for you cupcake, I really really really hope that it happens for you this month. Youl probably need a break from all the dtd!!!
