[Hula2]

This is a thread for those diagnosed with high or very high natural killer cells and trying to concieve or are pregnant and taking steroids/intralipids etc

Newcomers very welcome

*wine tonight!!!

Just found out a family friend who got married 10 months ago has had a baby. Prob honeymoon conception. Lucky for them. How the hell do some people blink and whoopy baby?!!! To be fair the first time I got preg, I was one month in and hadn't even start my folic acid prop as didn't think it would happen so quick. Oh the naivety of what was in store for me.

Hula glad u feeling better. Keep strong for next cycle ur really going for it!

Drttc great plan! Acu is so positive and helpful more for he chat than anything else. Mine seems to get infertility and miscarriage so well I find her easy to talk to and so supportive and she doesn't say stupid things like-when u stop trying it will happen!

Fallen off my diet wagon recently. Seriously getting back on tmrw!

trying I got a honeymoon bfp, in fact that was my first, can't believe how naive I was back then

hula I am taking wobenzym. I ran out the last couple of days so hopefully my new supply arrives tomorrow. I've been taking three in the morning and two at night, I take so many tablets at night and it helps stretch them out a bit because they're quite pricey.

Still with family. It's going well to be fair. They brought their lab so puppy and lab have been having lots of fun and it's made everyone very happy.

Hi Snoopy- which make of wobenzym do you use? Trying to pick one to order.

And I also had the 'first try' bfp... The old days of thinking it would be so easy are long gone!

I'm just taking the wobenzym m in the plastic bottle, I get mine off eBay. Hopefully it has a cumulative effect until next batch arrives,I've been on it since June I think.

Can someone enlighten me on this woby stuff? Benefits and what's it for?
I'm on co enzyme 400mg pregnancare and 2 omega 3 tablets (2400mg)...maybe I could throw another one in!
Snoopy hope ur bro didn't piss u off too much! Keep strong ur nearly out of v v anxious phase, then will just be v anxious once in 2nd tri :)

Sorry that should be n not m.

trying I think it's originally German, it's plant based enzymes that supposedly support a healthy immune system and reduce inflammation.

I also take d3, metafolin, omega 3 and n-acetyl cysteine.

It actually went really well trying, the dogs were so cute they melted everyone's hearts. They're both so friendly they just seem to annoy the other animals in their lives but they really loved each other and played so well together despite the size difference. I now have one super tired pup struggling to stay awake haha

Thanks Snoopy! Glad the lunch was nice too!

Glad you're afternoon went better than expected Snoopy.

Bfn for me today at 11dpo so I guess that's me out again. I'm so bloody fed up of trying. It's so tiring. I know I'm only 3 cycles back in and I've never been quick to conceive but I'm so sad today. Can't be arsed with work.

My best friend had her second baby yesterday. She fell pregnant with her first the same time I did when I mc'd the first time. How come she gets 2 babies in that time and I'm still fighting for my first? Life is so cruel sometimes. I sound as if I'm not happy for her, I am. I just want some of her luck.

Oh sorry Seeking, having to keep seeing bfns just sucks and its not fair that it happens so easily for some. Sending a big hug.

Sorry seeking. It's so so hard. I have no words to make u feel better. My sil also has had 2 babies while I try for one. It's so heartbreaking and on top of it u feel like a b for thinking of anything but happiness for them.
Give it a few days and u will feel better and stronger again and u will get ur bfp soon.....crappy crappy journey.

Me and dh were saying if we hadn't gone to Argc we would be cycling again by now. The delay is killing me and it might be even more months until my tnf sorts out. I just want to get on with it now. The delay, then it not working AGAIN then another delay etc. It's so bloody frustrating.

Hula how r u?

Are you feeling a little better seeking? Your feelings are completely valid. And yours trying. For us it's this seemingly endless cycle of ttc, thinking maybe if I take this or try that this one will stick and even when we do get those positives the anxiety doesn't go. And other people just blink and tah dah! I don't begrudge them their happiness but I wish the luck was shared a bit more evenly.

drttc when are you starting your new job?

They've been painting and varnishing at work so I've been walking around holding my breath haha I've been having a few twinges and today I kept getting twinges in my back, although that was probably wind I'm also paranoid that my chest might not hurt as much but then they start again, stupid anxiety. But I'm having my leaving lunch with some friends at work tomorrow so just trying to focus more on the positives.

I m doing ok thanks Trying. Af showed this eve, one and half days early so don t know what thats all about but it means on to the final SO cycle for me and actually timing is slightly better for the scan and intralipids now. Trying to minimise stress and get more relaxation time (easier said than done).

Can t imagine how frustrating the waiting must be, keeping everything crossed your tnf has come down nicely and you can crack on before xmas.

Snoopy - the anxiety is very understandable, just hang in there you re not far off 12 weeks now ? Is it this week you ve got a scan ?

Hi hula, how are you? I so want this cycle to work for you so I'm glad the timing is a bit better, every little helps. Did you mention you were having acupuncture or was that someone else?

I've got a scan on Thursday and should be 11 weeks this weekend. I think the anxiety is ramping up because I start my new job on Monday so I'll either be telling them good news or having to discuss my intimate medical details with a complete stranger. I just really don't want this new start to be tainted.

Hey Snoopy- I'm the one starting acupuncture tomorrow (will be cycle day 6). Wow almost 11 weeks! Getting so close to that 12 week mark. Good luck with the new job! You'll have that good news :) I strayed my job 2 weeks ago- really enjoying it!

Hula- things are looking up for this cycle! Good idea to try and keep calm.

Trying- hope you're feeling better about the irritating wait. At least it's all working towards giving you the best possible chance for your next try.

Hi ladies, I am after advice.
So I am 5/6 DPO and had a big bleed four hours ago followed by little spotting and nothing now.
I had that hycosy scan last week Tue but kind of don't think that could cause it as only spotted a bit on that day and that was it....
Having strange cramps in uterus.
It is way to early for AF, isn't it? (my normal LP is 14 days)
Did any of you ever had a random bleed 5/6 dpo????
I think that is way to early for any sort of implantation bleeding, isn't it?
Driving myself crazy....

Hi sw, apart from the bleeding hope you're doing well . How certain are you of dpo? Could you have ovulated early?

Hi Snoopy still looking for a new job... stressed about that... other than that all fine.
Could not ovulate any earlier, would say more 5 than 6 DPO. Didn't DTD since Fri so can't be a reason either. Guess if I carry on bleeding I will take it as a crazy early AF. If not will do HPT in 5days...
Guess I just panicked to see quite a bit of blood at wrong time of my cycle.
Maybe should mention it to my GP next week once I am back from my holidays

No idea what it could be SW but hope you're okay. Our bodies can be so unpredictable sometimes :(

Good luck today Snoopy

Thinking of u snoopy

Sw sorry re bleed no idea what it is. Could the hysteoscopy have irritated a little vessel in ur cervix? Or could it be implantation bleed? Hope ur ok x

Thinking of you as well Snoopy.

Thank you everyone. Had a nightmare morning stuck behind a broken down train, hopefully that's all my bad luck for today. I feel breathless thinking about it but I can't say or do anything that will make any difference.
