10+ months TTC Part 2

[Colabottles64]

Starting a new thread to keep the torch lit!

Oh my goodness, just seen @tryingtostayrational good news on the infertility board, congratulations!! Absolutely wonderful news and so so happy for you. You are one amazing lady who went from being afraid of medical stuff to your bfp through ivf. I wish you all the best for the next months and a healthy baby xxxxx

Awww @Colabottles64 thank you! So kind of you to remember me and put a message on! How are you doing? It’s v early days but I feel so lucky to finally have a bfp. And it shows that if I (seriously the biggest wuss on this planet) can manage IVF then truly anyone can. I was all ready to do it again and if I need to I totally will - it wasn’t a barrel of laughs but it was manageable and nowhere near as bad as I thought.

Really hope everyone else gets their bfp soon too. I appreciate so much how lucky I am.

thanks @booksandstuff, hope you are feeling better now and glad your tests came back clear. cheers to the drink hun , it's kinda what's keeping me going.

hope your appointment goes well @lookingatthestars on Monday and best of luck with your weight watching too. there are times when I am so disciplined and I try and to eat healthy but long time ttc has its downs

congratulations @tryingtostayrational í¼í¾í¼í¾. lt is always great to hear an update from a long timer. now enjoy your pregnancy hun and wishing you all the best

good luck @betsyboo87, definitely some new hope there.

how are you doing @colabottles64 ?hope you are taking it easy. do you have a bump yet?

Thank you for asking ladies, all going well and in second trimester now. Xxx

Thought I'd check back in to see how you are all doing?
Nothing new from my end to report!

@Colabottles64. Hi :-) I spoke to you back in March. I just wondered how you were getting on?

Aw thanks for asking, I’m 33 weeks now, absolutely massive and counting the days til September!! It’s a girl and all well tg so we just can’t wait to meet her.

How are you and anyone else still on here? Xxx

Hi all. I am now lurking on the infertility chats. It's been 21 months for us now.

Congrats @cola! That's wonderful news. How long were you ttc?

I'm on my first week of treatment - daily injections, trigger and then timed intercourse. Oh, the romance! In the 2ww now. Trying to be positive but realistic because chances aren't super high. But there's still a chance! I think we'll have a few more goes of this before we start thinking about IVF. We live overseas and insurance isn't covering it so having to go private. Upside is that it's all happening quickly. Downside is that it is costing us a lot.
I have my ups and downs. Feel despondent quite a lot of the time. But I'll get there one way or another.
Sending everyone good luck and best wishes.
PS - if anyone knows a good infertility board to go to, please let me know!

@Colabottles64 sounds like things are really coming together. Congratulations!

@Booksandstuff I hope this works for you so you don't need full IVF. Just remember it's all positive steps and that's a good thing. 🤞for this month. xx

Wow Cola that’s fabulous! I’m 21 weeks now, also having a girl and doing ok so far.

Best of luck to you @Booksandstuff, and to everyone else still struggling.

@booksandstuff all the best for the treatment, it was month 24 trying when we finally got our bfp after having a lap & dye and removal of Endo. It Is very tough waiting to get pregnant but you are doing all you can and you have to just keep going, the treatments will hopefully work out soon. All best to you xxx (board wise I think the threads on fertility friends can be quite good as you can tend to find people doing same kind of treatment at same time xxx)

@tryingtostayrational so glad you’re over the halfway mark! and congrats on your little girl, is it sinking in yet?? I hope you’re having a good pregnancy.

@Colabottles64. Hey :-) You must be so close to the end now! I'm 12 + 1 :-) I had my scan two days ago, my EDD is 13/02/2019. I had to use clomid in the end but fingers crossed for this baby!

Just thought I would check in and let you know my little girl was born healthy on Sunday weighing in at 7lbs 1oz. Hope ye are all doing well! Xxx

Hi cola that's great news, congratulations!
I don't tend to post much these days, just lurk on the infertility threads mainly. I do often think of the ladies on this thread and wonder how you are all doing! We are in the middle of our first IVF cycle, seems to be going ok so far and I have been feeling surprisingly well, just a bit uncomfortable! Egg collection is on Thurs. Desperately hoping this works for us and we can leave the last 2.5 years of shittiness behind us! Xx

@Colabottles64 Congratulations and well done you! That’s lovely news! I’m 30 weeks now and doing well so far.

Hope you get some great eggs @sunshineandsea - wishing you the absolute best of luck!

All the best to everyone else, wherever you are with things now.
