TTC 1st Baby - Thread 17!

[MrsEG]

Hi everyone! I’ve started a new thread as we are dangerously close to 1000 posts in the last one! I’ll add a link to it now :) Here’s hoping it’s a lucky one!

@LokiCat sorry you're out. Good luck for this next cycle.

Hi @Wingz93!

@MrsEG m and s food is worth its weight in gold sometimes. Take care, and hope the tests give you the answers you need.

Sounds like a tough week @cupcakesandglitter. Hope you can relax a bit now.

Congratulations @Lauraloop1516 fantastic news!! Don't think I could keep it to myself!

Hope you enjoy going through the wedding pics @ELW85 - it's so nice to go through and remember your day!

@DanceMagicDance1 I haven't strictly, (still eating runny eggs etc) but am being a bit healthier and have pretty much cut out caffeine and booze

@DanceMagicDance1 - it’s really important to monitor your caffeine; it’s hidden in everything from chocolate to Diet Coke (43mg a can) and more than 200mg a day can practically paralyse your Fallopian tubes to the point of not being able to contract to help a fertilised egg get to your uterus and implant.
As you can tell, I’ve done a lot of reading on it recently being a massive coffee addict!!

@dahlia123 - thanks!! It’s been lovely looking at them, and can’t wait for the finished album :) definitely the best day of our lives!

@DanceMagicDance1 hiii and welcome to your first tww I'm a tea pot as well, and believe it or not, I've not found a difference from switching to decaf tea. I can't taste the difference & i haven't missed the caffeine at all. Worth a try if it's your only vice 😊

CD51 and counting I never thought I'd be wishing for AF to arrive. Spoke to the gp last week, they said to call back if it's still not happened in another two weeks. Patience after the MMC is definitely gone now. I just want to get on with things! Sorry for venting, my poor OH is saying all the right things, I'm just so frustrated that my body isn't kicking back into the swing of things & knew you're an understanding bunch x

@Tashdreams - so sorry to hear that. Did the GP give you any indication of what they were going to do to help at the end of the two weeks, and if there is anything you can do in the meantime?

@ELW85 no, and that's what's making me a bit more apprehensive. Google seems to discuss d&c or a drug that is used to induce terminations, I've got no idea if I've got any products left, the last scan I had was early in the MMC & they were happy to do repeat bloods until my levels came to normal, at that point they said it had all been dealt with conservatively and we were good to try again after my next AF. I had a small bleed 5 weeks to the day after the MMC started, which I took as a good sign & the green light to carry on, we're now at CD51, I did a test just in case on day 42 but neg

@MrsEG so sorry to hear about your MC absolutely gutted for you lovely ❤️ not that you ever want something to be wrong, but I really hope you are in the 50% that do find a cause and that it's something they can fix for you xx

Why is it after a vent & a cry we always feel much better??

@MrsEG & @MrsH497 I'm so sorry to hear your news, just know that we're thinking of you & take comfort in the little things. Fingers crossed you can rest up & take the time you need to process things x

@Tashdreams - ah I see, it sounds like they’re trying to let your body adjust as naturally as possible, which might be better for you?
I’m so sorry my love, I wish I could be of more comfort to you. Best advice is just to keep at them and make sure they give you explanations that make sense and put your mind to rest as much as possible x

Day 2 of hormone injections here. One more day of this, then adding the one to prevent early ovulation for three days (so 2 injections). Then a hcg trigger shot after my scan.

And, unlike me, I'll have to wait until at least 10 dpo to test this time because the trigger shot can give a false positive until then. 😂

@ValidUser - how are you feeling? It sounds like a lot to take in, but it’s progress :)

@ELW85 not too bad, and feeling positive. It's such a relief to know my tube is open!

@ValidUser - that’s great to hear! Certainly lots to be positive about; I’ve got everything crossed for you!

@ValidUser how painful are the injections? I'm not even sure I'd be able to do that to myself. Hopefully I won't need that.

@KatBeCool they're not bad at all. The gonal f is really little like an insulin pen. Cetrotide has a bigger needle, but nothing major. They're all subcutaneous (rather than IM) so undramatic enough.

I'm glad we went this route sooner rather than later.

@ValidUser I totally missed you saying you're on injections! So pleased you're moving forward (and your tube is open) fx for you!!! X

Sorry, posted too soon! 29 and trying about 12 cycles, already had hsg, surgery, HyCoSy and now this. My gynaecologist is fabulous.

Thanks @cupcakesandglitter! ❤️

Hi all just popping in to keep up with everyone!

Think I’m out this month, still got 5days till AF but all my “symptoms” are gone, I had a dream last night I did a pregnancy test and got a positive so did one when I woke up at bfn (10dpo) all I really have is heartburn and constipation. All my cramps, back ache and nausea are gone! I don’t particularly feel like I’m gearing up for AF like I usually feel ... in fact I feel .. nothing which is quite out of the ordinary for me. Starting to think I’m out as surely I’d be feeling something, anything?

@Mrskcam take it from the most obsessive early tester and symptom spotter there is, 10dpo is super early! Generally symptoms come after a BFP. You're still in! ❤️

@ELW85 it was, the cocktails were fab

@cupcakesandglitter glad to hear it! It was a lovely weekend!

In other news, do we think this is a positive OPK?

@Lozzlepop - looks like a positive to me :)

Day 1 of cycle 10 has been hard for me today, been very sad and snappy and generally miserable :( roll on my scan and trying to sort my mess of a body out!

I know the feeling @starkid! Look after yourself. X

@Lozzlepop looks positive to me too!
