Rose what are your stats/ method for those of us with a colander for a brain?!

Itsjustaphase84 · 11/05/2017 17:11

Congratulations Rose.
Lovely to see more bfp! Keep them coming in xxx

Itsjustaphase84 · 11/05/2017 17:18

And Sophsta as well..
Can't remember if I congratulated you.

Currently 7+4 here. I had to have an early scan this week due to spotting and loss of symptoms and there it was. Heartbeat flickering away....and then symptoms ce back next day. There is some blood behind the sac which they reckon baby disturbed which caused the brown blood. Not got my booking in appt until 22/05-9 weeks.

Lovely see new joiners. Welcome xx

AmandaP86x · 11/05/2017 17:54

Just quickly checking in -

@rose my cycle buddy YAAAASS!!!! Amazing amazing so bloody happy
For u!!!!! Congrats!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nothing from me yet. AF not due until sat eeeek!

Roseandbee · 11/05/2017 17:54

Thanks ladies:)

Ive been off birth control since June 2014, we started with the see what happens approach, and to be honest I was in no hurry back then so no opks or even paying attention to my cycles. Im on Cycle 6 of using opks and timings.

well Moo this cycle it'd prob be quicker to tell you what i didnt do
rasberry leaf tea - but only a few cups as got it too late
Fertility bracelet and hypnoses - past two months
Evening primrose up to OV - past two months
Vitamins - folic, zinc, iron B and omega 3
conceive plus for the first time this month
pineapple core after OV for the first time
Have kept my feet in warm socks even at night and my tummy covered
No caffene, and no alchol from cycle day 11
and the big one was the hycosy where I saw little lefty. Hycosys are supposed to increase fertility for 3 cycles after.
DTD cycle day 11, 13, 14, 15 (positive opk cycle day 13) and stayed put with pillow under bum for at least 20 minutes after

Phase thats great news about your scan!, so stressful but at least you got a reward after it

Blondienut · 11/05/2017 17:56

Congrats rose , delighted for you and interested to hear did you have hycosy last month as I've heard you an be super fertile after them!

I'm moving back towards my PMA despite my shite AMH result. I needed the last week to let it sink in and I'm trying to look st only positive stories.

So my positives

1)I'm still having regular periods
2)my internal uss looked normal for my age
3)i seem to be ovulating regularly
4)hycosy booked for 31st may
5)dh having sperm analysis tomorrow

So things moving forward and I'm praying that we will have some options !

Roseandbee · 11/05/2017 19:00

Hi blondie think we posted at the same but yes had the hycosy on cycle day 11 of this cycle. It was whilst I went for that I got told my fsh levels were too high to qualify for IVF and was told to get my AMH tested. But I hadn't booked the AMH test in yet.
I did pin a tonne of hope on the hycosy which is why I tried to do everything else I possibly could do to help it along. so that's great news you've got yours booked in, I did lots of googling and there are loads of success stories so I've got everything crossed for you

Moo31 · 11/05/2017 19:45

@Phase - very reassuring about your scan. I had one at 7 weeks too (albeit a private one) and that little flicker is just magical isn't it? I'm sure you're feeling much more settles now. Xo

@Rose - fab. Just so fab. I am so delighted for you! I hope you are celebrating with something nice tonight ie a big bar of choc and a decaf tea! Grin Take it easy and enjoy every min! Xo

Moo31 · 11/05/2017 19:46

Oh and I think conceive plus / preseed has appeared in every bfp story on this thread!? More than just a coincidence!

sarahboro1 · 11/05/2017 20:59

Yeah Rose congratulations!!! That's one hell of a bfp!!! 😃 Enjoy your journey, and make sure you stay with us!! 💐🤰🏼🌟🎉

Roseandbee · 11/05/2017 22:09

Thats true Moo! everyone needs to try the magic lube lol. I had some posh rasberry lemonade in a champange glass. #cheers!
still not really sunk in though.

Thanks Sarah I will def be sticking around #pmaalltheway

Dollydaydream2829 · 11/05/2017 23:52

Just landed back in bonny Scotland and originally felt a bit bummed that the hol was over already, however all I needed was one click on MN for an instant PMA boost!

CONGRATS ROSE - so happy for you!! Especially since you've been one of our long term TTC-ers, albeit only actively for 6 cycles! It gives everyone a bit of hope I reckon! I hope you enjoy your BFP glow for the coming days.

Glad to hear you're focusing on the positives blondie - nothing else for it, and I'm sure having a positive outlook is bound to help!

Glad to hear everything is good with the scan phase - I also had spotting in weeks 7 and week 10 - scariest thing in early pregnancy! Thankfully it's relatively common and a brilliant sign that the wee heartbeat could be seen!

FX amanda - I really hope you're our next BFP!

Hippy - hope you're kicking AFs ass and getting some of that amazing PMA of yours back!!

Where has our lovely #girlgang creator bella gone off to?? And also, anyone heard from ohb recently??

AmandaP86x · 12/05/2017 13:30

TMI APPROACHING

Aww I went to toilet there and when I wiped I seen the tiniest bit of like really light pink wiped about 10 more times and absolutely nothing 😏 Just scared this is AF on route as she is due tomo ahhhh xxxx

ArchiesMamaBird · 12/05/2017 13:43

Oh Amanda, you never know, you could have implanted late and it's a little IB. I have everything crossed that it is that and that AF stays away 😘

Roseandbee · 12/05/2017 13:53

Thank Dolly, welcome back! Hope you had a lovely hol :)

Amanda spotting can be a sign of either. Do you usually spot?
I'm usually a spotter but for some reason last cycle with no bfp I didn't and this bfp cycle I didn't but I'm thinking the hycosy cleared things out as you bleed for a bit after so I'd be less likely to get and pregnancy spotting as there's less stuff to dislodge but that's just my theory

AmandaP86x · 12/05/2017 14:01

Emmm I don't think so. Usually if it comes when I wipe the that's her here. Hmm jury is out cause done another pee and nothing 😂 Ahhh I should have tested!!

Thanks @dolly glad to hear ur well xxx

Moo31 · 12/05/2017 14:13

Amanda are you on holiday? (I hope so - with a glass of something cold in hand!!) Do you have any tests with you? I would be testing with FMU tomorrow but that's just me! If you don't normally spot it sounds positive ...

notparticularlypatient · 12/05/2017 14:31

Amanda I had that kind of pink spotting at 12-13 dpo in my two most recent pregnancies...but could clearly also be early signs of she who shall not be named. Keeping fingers tightly crossed for you! Keep us updated!

Roseandbee · 12/05/2017 16:22

Amanda I agree with Moo anything out of the oridinary is a hopeful sign FX

AmandaP86x · 12/05/2017 16:24

I am on holiday pics attached - sorry to be that person rubbing it in ha ha.

I was trying just to watch for AF. I am in Spain so I could go and get one but dunno if I just hold out or then if I know I'm not on rapid knicker watch 24/7 😂😂😂
