Good luck lily
Congrats jo and wanting too - lovely ring!
have mrssanta amanda and bobbins I'm worried as people we know will probably think we are crazy for #3! My mother included! so comforts me to know other people want big families! Eek good luck!

wantingno2 · 18/10/2015 21:51

Thank you cookies still can't believe it didn't get my bfp day 5 of af this is cycle #3 now fingers crossed for this month and good luck everyone else.

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 18/10/2015 22:21

Still no AF here but feeling it is coming so hopefully tomorrow as I have a spa break booked for next weekend and I am a firm believer in Sod's law (accounts for all my previous pregnancies anyway).

Took kids to grandparents today and it was a bit chaotic, so worried what they will say. SIL only has 1. My best friend is totally against me having anymore (haven't told her I am ttc but talk about being broody) am worried she will take it personally as she can't have anymore and we both have 3.
Feel a bit selfish and greedy sometimes on top of all the hormones but I know I won't change my mind now.
Hope you feel better lily xx

lilygirl81 · 18/10/2015 23:08

crazy I worry about people's reactions too, and I'm trying for our first! When it happens, I'm sure you friend will not feel like that, though she may be sad if she would have wanted more herself.

I'm feeling ok, mild cramps but still no AF, so hoping it's just things moving around. I remember having constant cramps the first time I ever got pregnant and it was totally normal, so hoping it's a good sign and not evil AF.

Thisisbonkers · 19/10/2015 13:36

My blood tests are back. Testosterone, thyroid and prolaxsomething all normal. Dr wants to speak to me about the hormone result (lh? Can't remember! Confused) so is ringing in the next couple of hours. Bit nervous.

Trying not to build hopes up for this month, phone call might help. I actually managed to get a positive opk last week, dtd that night and following night after getting some very mild cramps. Couldn't have been better timed but I've thought that before.

KittyandTeal · 19/10/2015 14:37

Congrats to all the bfp said.

I've just come to say I'm properly out, most likely forever. After gp visit and ultrasound they think I have adenomyosis which is a form of endometriosis. It means my uterine muscle has been effected and is damaged with every cycle. Fertility looks like I will suffer lots of early losses, if I manage to get to second or third trimester the risk of loss looks to be around 50%. If you add that to my trisomy risk I think it's pretty safe to say baby number 3 won't be happening.

I've got a gyne appointment in a couple of weeks to look at it all again but my gp thinking with my ultrasound results she cannot think of another explaination.

I may well pop back and have a look at the bfps and to say big congrats but it's probably worth taking me off the stats. We're stopping ttc straight away as there is no point considering the risk of MC.

Good luck to everyone x

TattieHowkerz · 19/10/2015 14:39

Very sorry to hear that Kitty Thanks

lilygirl81 · 19/10/2015 14:42

kitty Flowers that sounds like awful news to get, so sorry to hear, do let us know how the gyne appointment goes though, and let us know how you are doing x

KittyandTeal · 19/10/2015 14:46

Thanks all. I'm ok for now. I'm very lucky to have dd1 already. It's a bit scary as the suggestions are that it gets progressively worse and more dibilitating in terms of pain.

It's just really shit. Especially after loosing dd2. Bit of an extra kick in the teeth.

Thisisbonkers · 19/10/2015 15:22

I'm so sorry kitty

I've had my blood results. All normal so next stage is day21 bloods and an ovary scan.

Thurlow · 19/10/2015 15:42

Hello all, can I join in a bit late in the month?

Just started TTC #2. Bit nervous about the whole thing as I had HG and did not enjoy my first pregnancy, so worried about the sickness, work, having a 4yo to manage as well.

Finished the pill two weeks ago. Dtd rather sporadic as DP does shift work so not even considering tracking ovulation as it'll just stress me if he's at work and there's nothing we can do about trying that day.

Given previous history, I do think I ovulate ridiculous early in the month so looking to test early November (but as I've just come off the pill I have no idea when my first period is actually due!).

Everyone else I know has had DC's 2 (and even 3!) so I think I'm the only one trying at the moment, so it would be nice to chat to other people in the same boat...

(PS - I haven't had time to read the whole thread yet so huge apologies if I have x-posted with anyone or anything important)

Stace2015 · 19/10/2015 15:50

Hey all!

I hear that this is the positive thread.. so im in!

I am currently in my 2ww so am trying my best not to be too obsessive but am quiet positive this month! I am also awaiting some test results from the doctors on Wednesday, my day 21 bloods and my oh semen analysis.. had a text saying No Action Needed re my bloods but would like abit more info than that! Fingers crossed hubs results are ok and we are eligible for some help...been 2 years now! Help needed lol

How are you all?! Smile

Robbins81 · 19/10/2015 17:00

Sorry to hear that kittyFlowers

BindiBarbarella · 19/10/2015 18:25

So so sorry Kitty Sad lots of love to you xx

KittyandTeal · 19/10/2015 18:41

Thanks all x

ChatEnOeuf · 19/10/2015 18:45

Oh Kitty I'm so sorry to hear that Flowers We had a really tough decision to make along similar lines as my uterus is septate (or bicornuate, depending on which scan you believe...), so I'm at risk of first trimester losses too. It sucks pretty much all the joy out of a BFP, but for now we're still trying. I will keep my fingers crossed the gynae appt can be helpful in some way. Extra cuddles for your DD tonight.

KittyandTeal · 19/10/2015 19:06

Chat we have walked pretty much the same road!

If it is adenomyosis then it seems that it is unlikely an egg will ever implant, if it does I will probably miscarry, if I make it further along I have the bonus of a uterine rupture as the baby gets bigger which is often fatal! That's obviously worst case scenario but after dd2 I don't hold out hopes for 'best case'.

I'm just feeling pretty pissed off right now. How bloody unfair!

ChatEnOeuf · 19/10/2015 20:00

I know that feeling - I always used to be a 'plan for the worst, hope for the best' kind of person. Not so much now...I can certainly see why you're probably stopping Sad Angry. You're right. It isn't fair. I always said I'd have a hysterectomy once I knew I was done having children - while it's a miracle we can grow people inside ourselves, to be honest, my uterus has given me more than enough pain over the years.

KittyandTeal · 19/10/2015 20:22

Lol chat, we are actually the same person. First thing I said to dh was 'I'm just going to tell them to take the bloody thing, I'm done with it!'

weechops · 19/10/2015 21:53

kitty I'm so sorry Flowers

Dh can't get home in November after all as work is too busy. So I'm praying that my cycles stay at 30 days instead of 28 then we might just have a shot in December! Not had a chance to update stats, will do tomorrow.

Hi Ladies :)

How's everyone ?

I'm Feeling a little thoughtful today and a little emotional although as I'm typing I know what I'm being a bit ott about it all.

When we started ttc there was another 2 couple we know that started at the same time, one couple feel pregnant instantly and the other couple the month after, then this morning one of my school mummy friends told me she was pregnant too. I'm over the moon for them all but just feel a little sorry for myself that its not happened for us yet.

Sorry for rambling on..... think I just needed to get my thoughts down

wantingno2 · 20/10/2015 14:49

Well today should be last day of af then it's back to trying again so this will be cycle 3 ttc #2 new test date 10th November good luck everyone else x
