[BabyB19]

Hi ladies

Please tag away anyone you think would want to be added...

@bluetue @ceebee21 @dizzy85 @Jonesbabynumber1 @Tbug

And welcome to any newbies that want to join this mad mad world of trying to conceive x

@BabyB19 that’s really great to hear! Thank you so much for the reassurance 😁 fingers crossed! Xx

@SunnyFlover I am so sorry, and think I will be following you soon, my temp dropped this morning, hut still faint positives on FRER. Expect it may arrive later or tomorrow xx

@ceebee21 I know it’s hard but try to see the positives your ovulating and must have conceived a Dr told my friend who had a CP it’s your body testing its self and it will happen. I did a FRER and BFN I am so very much fed up of this guessing game. I have all the symptoms which is cruel.

@Jonesbabynumber1 yeah, I have a doctors appt tomorrow and going to ask for a referral re my thyroid to a specialist... I want to make sure that is really controlled as know it can cause miscarriage and I've now had two... Well think I'm having the 2nd xx

AF has just arrived....ready for a new year, 2019 has been rubbish fir the most part!

Hope we can keep each other going on this thread ready for some more BFPs xx

@ceebee21 big hugs all around. Today was just rubbish! From happy exciting thoughts at Christmas to this misery... Early positive pregnancy tests just fooling us. Feeling super sad and fed up. Sorry everyone. How does other ladies get off the pill and bam- pregnant first month ( my friend), or get married, go on honeymoon and bam! Get back from it pregnant ( my work colleague)... Am I surrounded by super fertile people or what..?!

@SunnyFlover must admit I seem to be one of those people, but it just can’t seem to stick.

It’s so depressing, puts me off testing early, but that is easier said than done, and either way I am still past AF due date x

@ceebee21 I'm really af turned up, hope you will be ok xx

I'm so sorry there's so much sadness here ladies 😓 try and all stay positive I know thats hard but it will all come to you, some just take longer than others unfortunately ❤️ xx

@Jonesbabynumber1 I hope you find out soon and fingers crossed for you that it's a bfp. Did you get anymore tests?
@BabyB19 I have been enjoying the shag week lol just gonna stay chilled about it, Its been such a hectic time with Christmas and all I've not thought much about it all. Have you found out your dates or anything yet?

Big hugs @ceebee21!!

Really feeling for all you ladies who have had your hopes raised and then broken! It has given me strength to wait untill the end of the week to test, and not before af

@SunnyFlover I feel your pain and sadness. So I just sat down an poured myself a great big gin & tonic. Medicinal of course!!

@Togetherismyfavouriteplace I have endo too. It’s crap! But pregnancy is not impossible. Iv read so mang happy stories online. Fingers crossed for us all and let’s be having you 2020!!!

My nipples and boobs are so sore, over 10 days now!!! Wondering whether to test NYE or not 🤔 @MrsCl19 what ya think?

@ceebee21 I have thyroid issues too. I’m on thyroxin 50mg daily for under active. It’s worth asking for your bloods to be done. Are you taking meds? I’m sorry AF arrived ❤️

@shiningstarz fingers crossed! Great to hear there have been lots of happy stories! Are you TTC #1 ? x

Also, hate this part of the month when your mind starts playing tricks and you don’t know if the changes in your body are AF about to arrive or early pregnancy symptoms! I’ve started to get mild cramping today and my boobs are super sore and swollen!! AF not due until 4th Jan so we’ll see! I try not to get my hopes up x

Yes I’m TTC my 1st. I had a few ivf cycles with my ex which didn’t work. Fast forward a few years I am now TTC with my new partner. I did actually get pregnant back in may but had A mmc at 5w 3days. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pregnant on the test! I thought my endo would stop me from ever achieving implantation! I was wrong!! Anything is possible. Have you been trying long? @togetherismyfavouriteplace

@ShiningStarz yes I am on 100mcg a day....and my bloods have been done recently problem is most gps won’t do a full thyroid check, they only check TSH and T4...the T3 is really important too and can still be way out. Just hard reading that under active thyroid and miscarriages are commonly linked!

Xx

@ceebee21 maybe if you explained why you wanted the t3 they would do it 🤞
I’m seeing a dietician who herself has thyroid issues. She’s got me on a plan to improve thyroid function naturally with certain multi vits and gut bacteria. It’s all worth a try 🤞

@ShiningStarz hopefully. What are you now taking?

I also ready gluten free diet can help! Xx

@ceebee21 I don’t really take dairy. I have milk in tea/coffee but otherwise I’d use coconut / almond milk in porridge / shakes.. stopped eating meat too. Iv been so bad eating out and drinking recently but plan to really cut back on both now that Christmas is over!!!! The advice is natural food, nothing processed and less alcohol!

She’s got me on vit c, b12, probiotic, magnesium and few others. That was all based on my bloods results she asked me to get done before my appt with her.

Might be worth you seeing one??

I plan to switch to natural Parabens free body moisturisers and shampoo in new year.
I’m 38. I’ll try anything for next 12 months and then it’s game over for me xx

Those with endo - I only just got diagnosed. Can it really prevent implantation?

Really regretting not giving it my best shot this month now. Day 14 of my cycle and we've tried to Dtd as much as possible but it hasn't been as often as I'd have liked. Just tried now unsuccessfully as we're both tired and it's probably the last day of my fertile period. I've been so relaxed the last fortnight I wish I wasn't stressing out now.

@ShiningStarz you have good symptoms! When is your af due? I'm a bit nervous about testing go early

@ShiningStarz this is only cycle #2 of trying for us so really early days at the moment! My fingers and toes are crossed for us all! Will keep you posted.

@TigerJoy - no not always, a lot of the time it depends on where the endo is located. I’m under a specialist clinic and they’ve told me to not stress about endo at all as women without endo can still have problems regardless so best to carry on as normal and see what happens! Don’t stress too much, what will be will be 😊.

I’ve been impatient again this morning and took another test at 11DPO .. still getting BFN ☹️ X

@MrsCl19 my cycle varies between 28-32 days.. my boobs have been sore from day 15 so I predict I’ll have 28/29 day cycle so would be due coming Saturday/Sunday. I don’t think there’s any point testing earlier. To save myself from disappointment I’ll wait until I’m actually late. I don’t have any tests!

@TigerJoy my only advice for you is to enjoy it and not to put to much pressure on yourself or your partner.

@tigerjoy iv read a lot about endo, think if it’s around the ovaries and tubes it can prevent ovulation etc. I have endo and managed to produce hcg comfirmed by blood test at doctors so it doesn’t prevent implantation. I asked dietician I saw about following a non inflammatory food plan to reduce inflammation to help implantation... clutching at straws here!! Think if it’s meant to be it’ll be!! I’m a worrier 🤣

Oops sorry the 2nd paragraph was for @Togetherismyfavouriteplace xx
