Immune/natural killer cell treatment when TTC or pregnant (aka the 14th pred thread)

[sunnyday01]

Continuing from 13th thread

Ps was BFN. So annoyed I wasted a test when I knew. Had a lattee this morning though yummm

So sorry trying - do you know what DPO you are? Could you still have time?

You deffo deserve that latte...(actually a lot more than that but not sure wine/vodka/insert tipple of choice is practical at 9:30am)

Actually ignore second point and replace that for chocolate...just in case x

Haha! I'm 11dpo so def out.
Might book a holiday tonight to drown my sorrows! Feeling a bit better now. I've just got to keep going And be patient.

Sorry about the BFN too, Trying, but now you can get busy planning for next month. It will be a New Year when you ovulate (I just looked it up on my calendar to check!) so a fresh start! The latte must have felt good! And you can have a lovely relaxed Christmas (as long as SIL stays clear...!).
All is good with me. it is very hard to know where I am with this pregnancy as I really don't feel pregnant at all. The scan obviously reassured me massively but with no symptoms (I know it is the pred but very odd) I have nothing to obsess over! I actually feel better than I usually do. In any previous pregnancies I've had awful morning sickness. Hope it is ok! I do have sore boobs from time to time...The pred is giving me moon face too or I might just be getting really fat. I'm scared to weigh myself! I've decided not to worry about it though. I can always lose it later...
I'm glad I'm getting another scan so soon too. The next one after that is 11 weeks with Dr S. I haven't officially checked in with my GP yet and thought I would wait until after eight weeks with a heartbeat (hopefully) to do that. Five days to go...

Aw ur so sweet! Yes it is new year! I'm going back to my usual - no sex for a few days and then DTD day 13,14,15 (I tend to ovulate day 15). Its worked 3 times now. Not seeing SIL she has been doing my DH head in too and he's really kind and understands why I don't fancy seeing her so said lets just stay away. He reckons me and him
Are more important right now and so wotever we want to do flies. So even if its rude/not acceptable we do what's right for us. We have spent a long time making everyone else happy and suffering in the process and I think we r tired from
It. I went to see her baby the day after my Medical Management when I knew I had retained products and sat there while they asked us what we would call our baby :( (they didn't know we had just miscarried but knew we had before and were still waiting for our baby. it was so hard to hold back the tears). Frankly I haven't got the strength for that now.

The pred def masks symptoms. It's well known to. I can imagine its so hard without the symptoms. But u have a scan soon and hopefully that will reassure u. I worry about the weight and moon face too! But doesn't matter-we do what we have to do and just ignore it and keep going! A lot of women say once of the pred the moon face quickly goes and yes loose the weight after! Keep postive thinking!

Sorry bout bfn trying. Go grab some biccies to go with that latte you deserve them.
Your posts are not me me me our sil's on here are clearly just wenches!

How u doing dildoos? Must be nearing ovulating time soon??
I've decide to start my diet today! My bmi always hovers at 25 and I think it's time I do something about it. So no biccies for me! Hopefully loosing half a stone or more will help me get preg too maybe! (Not sure pre Xmas is the best time to start!)

trying - sorry to see you got your BFN, we are both back on the wagon for next month then! Like you I will be ovulating just in the new year - can't believe how close our cycles are - would be funny if we got pregnant the same month too!

I've had a bad week so far with the loosing weight - had lots of biscuits as i felt sad yesterday and today i've had 2 scotch eggs!

We have decided to get DH sperm tested overnext couple of weeks just to make sure everything is ok that side of things!

Good idea sunny. My DH seems to feel averse to the idea (well not averse just doesnt thnk it can be a prob as managed to get me
Preg 3 times) and I suppose I shouldn't yet as only 5
Months I know u have been ttc for
Longer this time. Seems sensible to do and I hope it's all ok it that department and its just a matter
Of time! He has agreed get it tested at 8 months. (But hopefully im preg by then!) Yes lets both fall preg next month please :) that would be nice :)

Sorry ur feeling pants too. Its hard work to always stay upbeat. Ur allowed a few bad days! 5 pounds is such good going, try get back on it tmrw. It's hard dieting when u feel shit. ESP if u enjoy food like I do! I'm such a comfort eater!

I just spoke to my mum Who was very cute and made Me a lot
Better. She said that my
Journey is long and tough but i will get there in the end and I have to keep believing that. And also that life Is just hard sometimes and there's nothing more i can do.

Can't wait till we all have our bfp and then babies!

I am due ovulation Christmas Day and if I fall pregnant this month it's only right I call it Jesus
Sunny and trying that's cool your both together xxx

Lol! or santa!

Yes or Rudolph! We have some cools
Name selections here small concerned none are female so suggestions for female Christmas baby required! My little girl has a very old fashioned name so needs to be in keeping

There does seem to he quite a tradition of boys on the Pred Thread, weirdly.

Just dropping in to see if any of you taking hydroxy have to pay for your prescriptions and if so could you use about a months supply of tablets? Happy to post them to anyone who wants them. PM me your address if so.

Ha ha...Prancer wouldn't work then...more traditional perhaps Eve or Mary?

Hi free how are you getting along? So close now!!

(V.thoughtful re hydroxy...not on my programme personally!)

Thanks free but not in my prog. Lots of luck-it must just be a few days to
Go.
Dildoos loving the names! I might hold u to it when u get ur bfp in new yr!

Thank you free, not on my programme either. Good luck with your impending arrival how very exciting!
Trying yes I will give it some cool name so we can all remember the Christmas excitement
Mary and eve are not quite old enough :-)
I have a Delilah lol ( she is no Tom Jones Delilah though!) x

Thinking dasher as Delilah and dasher go well :-)

Hi all

Hope- fantastic news... So v happy for you. You, like your name on this, give me most hope given your similarities. Great to hear all going well.. Except moonface of course but assume that goes away when you stop pred and small price to pay. Thanks so much for thinking of me and all your v kind words. I don't know why I was hitting such a low point but needed a kick & a hug. Do have friends but not been leaning on them much at all as I guess I'm trying not to be the friend to avoid. My lovely DH is bearing it all so well.

Free - I would be v grateful for hydroxy if still going? Did you ever have side effects over time from it? How are you now.. Getting so close!!:)

Trying - sorry you're out again- know the feeling but it's a numbers game and will happen. I'm going to check FSH levels etc in Jan then consider super ov in Feb. Views if worth it welcome.

Hi everyone else. Hope Christmas shopping in a better place than mine... Not started yet! Too late for online? X

IM not doing very well at all, had a massive breakdown this morning with an hour long cry - it's just feels like it's never going to happen plus I can't understand why we haven't even got pregnant for a year. Just feeling generally crap about everything.

Sunny sorry to hear your down today. Hugs to you . X

Hi sunny. I'm so sorry :(. Ur usually so postive and sunny! Ur allowed to feel like shit sometimes. ESP when bloody af coming. It's so so so hard. I cried yest for an hr the whole way to work. Turned up looking like a right wally. The fear of it never happening is so scary it fills us all im sure with dread. But it will happen. These days everything is available medically to make it happen. My acupuncture lady always says if ur strong in ur mind and keep on going and going someway or another it happens. Weather is ivf/iui/surrogacy/donor eggs donor sperm or a list of other things. It does happen. She said when she first started she felt nervous saying that but now she's confident telling women it will happen. She said some women decide to stop and make peace with that but the others suceed.
It seems so unfair and cruel though. That our journey is so long and sad. But keep having hope and believe it will happen.
I think getting DH sperm checked is def a good way fwd. u know u are ovulating....and u have got preg before so it will completly happen again. How long were u trying for before u did SO. U still have 2
More goes. Also did u know even if perfectly timed u only have a 20 percent chance of succeeding. Bad egg, bad sperm. Sperm not reaching egg etc.

It's really sad. I feel sad when I loose hope. So try keep having
Hope. Believe it will happen. And keep positive that it will happen in the next few months. I really really
Hope it does for u.

Saying all this I'm terrified I now can't get preg too?! I have a timeline in my head now of when to do SO and when to go for ivf. I'm just praying it doesn't come to that. But if it does-I'll still have my baby it's just going to be some
More tears and stress! When ur baby comes u will be so grateful and appreciative and a lovely mummy!

Rosa u deserve a well earned break. U sound like u have been working hard and giving urself a hard time. I
Hope u have time off and can recharge and start the new year
Postive. I think doing SO is def a good idea I know they tend to move quicker for women over 35. When were u last preg? How long does it usually take u? I read on one of those forums of a woman in ur situation with problems with inflimiab etc. she's now had a baby and I think she was older than u. I hope u also get ur bfp soon :).

Hope - hope ur not poking ur boobs too much and containing the anxiety. I rem crying a lot in my third preg as I just knew it wasn't going to work. The anxiety is so hard to deal with. It's something I know I will struggle with next time.

Hi to the others too! And think a lot of us need a hug

2015 HAS to be better

Oh god! Long post! Sorry about that!

Thanks dildoos, think it is just the time of year. last xmas I thought this xmas i would have a baby or at least be pregnant, and then when i saw dr s in july, i set myself a deadline of xmas to be pregnant - silly really. I'm just scared next xmas I'm going to be in the same postition.

I'm also wondering why we haven't got pregnant at all this year - no idea if it 'normal' or an indication something is wrong.

I'm feeling a bit better since my meltdown this morning but i guess we all have these days but we pick ourselves up and get on with it!

I've done that before. I cried a lot on new yr at like 1am and I thought next year I'll be preg or baby. And it hasn't happened :(. It's shit! I rem
Saying to my Husband lets hope 2014 is the year.

I have no idea re the year thing. My dad keeps telling me I have to wait a year before I discuss options but hasn't said what happens then really! The fact u have been preg twice shows u can get preg. So lets just hope it will happen in the next few months. Did u have ercp or natural miscarriages? Any issues medically with them? Infections etc?

Glad u feeling a bit better.
