(Still) ttc#2 continued

[Loki17]

New shiny thread everyone!

Mimi & cherries I hope you're both doing fine, my monkey is still not being nice to me but she's healthy so it's all good. Had my glucose tolerance test today and first growth scan, madam is still breech head tucked into my ribs. Good luck to you both.

Hobbes there's nothing romantic about ttc, good luck with the ivf when you're there

Xx

Mimi bump is getting big, she's breech and stuck at the right side. It's a bit painful but it's worth it. Just trying to get everything sorted for her arrival. Had a scan today and she's measuring 2 days ahead but Keira was always a few weeks ahead xx

Hello everyone,

I've been such a stranger that I don't know many of you!! I disappeared pretty much when H was born. It's been a rollercoaster and I just could not keep up with my life, let alone mumsnet.

Never the less, some of you occasionally cross my mind and I think - 'I wonder how you're getting on?'

So hello! Sorry I haven't been around, it's been tough and this board should be full of positivity so it really was for the best I had a break.

Gx, how is your little one? Mine doesn't sleep much and refuses the bottle. Having two shocked me!

Mimi, I mainly came back here to see how you were. Hoping and wishing for you. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggle. You are the sweetest person ever to still ask how I am! Thank you.

Good luck everyone xx

Hello everyone

peyia ,so lovely to hear from you. Hope our little boy is doing well. Sorry it hasn't been all easy but hopefully it will settle down soon . don't go missing again dear.

Hie kellz.awesome little girl there. How are you doing hun?hope baby has changed position and you are feeling better. It's not long now.l bet you are enjoying the shopping.

gx , miss you. Hope Blake is growing up well and not too much work. How are they getting along with his big sis?

hobbes how are you? where are you now. Hope all is progressing well. Ttc is a nightmare if it takes too long.

Hie cherries,how's the tww going? When are you testing. Fx for you dear.

Kellz ds1 was breech for a while, i had the most awful nausea and pains one day and then it stopped - he'd turned the right way...

Hi mim, thanks for asking. Ovulating right now and AF due on DS birthday so hopefully will be distracted - so about 2 weeks to wait. Had stomach bug though so not too optimistic.

Taking the bull by the horns and throwing money at the situation i.e. getting tests done at private clinic. Thinking of it as spending the money saved by never going out and having fun...!

When I sat down to fill in their questionnaire I realised we'd been trying for one fewer cycle than I'd thought so that has strangely cheered me up a bit even though it makes not the slightest difference!

Best of luck hobbes and everyone else.

I tend to skip around all the various conception threads so lose track! I should really get involved with something else otherwise it becomes too consuming...

Hi all,
I'm ok thanks Mimi - I've started stimms now - 4 days in - feeling a bit twingy but might be imagining it...have a scan on Tuesday to see how things are growing, so fingers crossed... hope you are ok? I know the shit feeling every month of ttc w/o success is exhausting, so I dont blame you for taking a break for actively trying. Xx
Hope everyone else is ok too and good luck cherries with your tests - I know you can get AMH & AFC if you haven't had them yet for about £150 at most clinics. X

Mimi except from these migraines I'm doing ok thanks, how are you doing? I hope she moves too it's uncomfortable lol. I'm loving the shopping part!!

Black here's hoping she moves, still not moved yet but still got just over 9 weeks, how are you doing?

Hope everyone else is doing well xxx

Hie ladies

kellz how are you doing now lovely? Hope baby has moved since and the headaches have subsided. More shopping for you with Christmas around the corner.

hobbes how are you doing hun? any exciting updates? Have everything crossed for you.

cherries sorry that af got you dear .upwards and onwards! Did you manage to get the tests booked for this year. Fx it's your month.

Sadly af got me again and am pretty much distracted by the shopping, and wrapping.

Hope everyone is enjoying the festive season

Mimi, baby has moved the right way round. She's weight going in at roughly 4.5-5lb already so hoping she slows down a bit!! Headaches are still here seen neurologist and she's basically not doing anything until baby is here. Lots of shopping roll on Xmas being over lol. But been a busy two weeks as my grandad died last Tuesday so we only got to bury him this week

Sorry af got you but what I remember from last year this is the only time of year you're so busy it takes your mind off of it slightly xx

Am so sorry about your granddad hun.
glad baby has moved now . when is your edd BTW?is the bump growing as much as baby?

You are so right about Christmas being a good distraction. It is also dd birthday this month and am planning on doing a small party for her.l can't believe a year has gone by already.

Hi mimi

Sorry AF came, it's f**king crap I know. I'm in the last few days of my TWW and not feeling confident at the moment... I didn't respond all that well to the stimms, only got 5 eggs, only 2 of which fertilised properly and so I had both transferred back on day 2. The embryologist said they were quite fragmented so the 2nd lowest quality on their scale - so all in all has been a bit of a disappointing process. But here we are, and I'm 4 days out from my test date and I did have sore boobs and cramping, but today the sore boobs have gone, but still having cramping, so feel fairly sure it's not worked. I guess you never know, but I'm preparing myself for getting AF any day now... x

Ohh hobbes am getting excited for you. Fx . that might just be the egg for you or twins .
I really wish pregnancy symptoms were different from af symptoms, then it would be easier to tell. You are almost there. Hope the weekend flies by fast and you have something to distract you.

Will keep watching the space for your bfp

AF seems to have arrived. Bright red blood when I wipe. Am devastated :(

Oh dear, am soooo sorry .Sending big hugs. This journey is one tough one. Be strong and put your feet up for a bit lovely. Hope your oh is waiting on you.

How are you holding up hobbes39? sorry to hear.

I'm ovulating 2-3 days earlier than usual this cycle, not sure what this means (if anything)? I'm on cd12 and usually get positive opk on cd14 or 15 or even later recently although I know it can make a difference if you catch the start or tail end of the LH surge. Luckily dtd 3 times this week.

Hie cherries how are you doing? the good thing is you managed to dtd so fx . my ov day is now earlier too .Ov on cd1 lol.
What are the plans for Christmas?

Hi mimi. Going to parents and inlaws for the first time since DS came along so should be fun! Will hopefully distract from tww...
ov on cd1?!

Enjoy yourself dear and a sure distraction being away and busy with parents. I meant cd10 not 1 . that would really be a shock lol . how old is your ds now?

haha I did wonder?! DS is 2, was hoping to be 6mo pregnant by now!

Oh what a bummer! My dd is turning 3 on Monday and it's been more than a year and a half ttc .

Off to bed early, nite nite and good luck catching the egg.

Ahh my DH just got results and his sperm count is low - 5 million (15 million is low end of normal apparently). Not sure what to do with this information. Feeling crap but don't want to make him feel worse by being really upset...

Sorry about that cherries , just be supportive of him because I am sure he feels worse than you. There must be something you can do about it l think (change in diet or some medication ) at least you now know the problem, you can work on it.
Take care xxx

thanks mimi he's gone out tonight and we've only had about 10 mins to discuss it but I know he'll be stewing. Now I've had a chance to google I don't think things look very good at all tbh.

Hie cherries
How was your Sunday? Hope you and oh are okay. Enjoy the holidays and then make a plan after. I spent my day indoors and watching TV . really hope l wake up feeling better from this cold.

Hi all,

I know I've been awol but I stayed away to allow you all to support each other in your TTC journey but I had to come on, because of the previous support you provided me in my journey, and let you know that last night, at 34+4 weeks, our beautiful angel Sophie Lyn went to sleep with the angels. I'm in total shock and have to go through an induction tomorrow and then plan a funeral for her. Not sure how I will make it through all of it but I know I must for DH and DD. Anyway, just wanted to update you all and wish you all the best in your journey and a merry Christmas.xx
