Hope everyone's ok, for some reason I had to keep finding the thread it kept saying I have no open topics, @dizzy85 that's so bloody exciting!!! Hospital bag packed and ready to go I bet!? Sully is 15 months old now the time sure flies, he's still stuck to my breasts and a mummy's boy 😂😂😂👣

dizzy85 · 28/04/2022 11:15

@shelly10111 I had the same problem on here too it said mine had disappeared I had to log out and log in again a few times.
My hospital bag is mostly packed I just need a couple more bits to put in it..I can't believe it's getting so close!!😆
Aw bless him that has really flown by, that's good though your still breastfeeding too done well! I am gonna give it a good go, I've been trying to get as much info on it as I can before so I'm hoping I can do it.

Borolass84 · 28/04/2022 12:07

@dizzy85 thank you hope all goes well your end too 😃😃 yes fertility clinic said my progesterone was on low side so some months I produce an egg and some months I don’t. Her exact words were “everything else scans etc are normal you just need a little push” when she prescribed the Clomid so I interpreted that as things aren’t as bad as I thought (or I’m wishful thinking lol)

ArjaD · 28/04/2022 15:21

@dizzy85 aw I'm super excited for you! It's surreal after all this time even for me and it's so amazing you'll soon have your wee one in your arms ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Shaker21 it's true I was like dizzy, you get obsessed with the opks and the pregnancy testing and omg I don't miss it to be honest 🙈 they do say on average it takes 12 months to get pregnant so there's no need to worry at all. So nice to follow your story too!!! Xx

@ArjaD Yeah it is very easy to get obsessed with the testing...I have just got a high LH test not long ago so should get peak later today so that's good 😃Luckily I have managed to stay quite calm with doing pregnancy tests and managed to not test until AF shows, trying to stay relaxed as much as possible once we've found peak OPK.

@dizzy85 you must be so excited getting so close now!!

Sungirl11 · 11/05/2022 12:30

Hi everyone!!
I couldn't log into here... there must have been a problem with the app!

We are doing really good! 3 and a half months already! She is such a good girl, breast feeding and sleeping whole nights (with her feeds but asleep).
She is a really happy baby and is huge! She already weighs 7.2kg!
Happy to hear you are all doing really well! ❤️

Shaker21 · 16/05/2022 15:08

@NicoleR14 Hi, how are you getting on? Did you manage to have the transfer done?

Hope everyone else is doing good😃

NicoleR14 · 16/05/2022 15:37

Hi @Shaker21 yep that's us all done our embaby was transferred on Saturday at 11:30am beta blood tests is on the 24th to find out if we are pregnant or if the transfer has failed but I've got really high hopes as the clinic were very pleased with my lining and the embaby! I have a wee scan photo I'll show yous the wee white line at the bottom is the fluid with the embryo in it lol x

Fourth thread for ttc!
Shaker21 · 16/05/2022 15:52

OMG @NicoleR14 😄You must be so so excited! That is crazy the scan picture and you can see it there. I will keep everything crossed for you to finally get your BFP! Just 8 days to go! x

NicoleR14 · 16/05/2022 16:01

@Shaker21 thank you! We are super excited I've been feeling unwell since we had it done but apparently that's normal to experience so I'm trying not to get overly excited or upset until everything's confirmed I think if John could wrap me in bubble wrap he would at this present moment in time 😂 I honestly just wanted to jump up and down and go mad with it lol xx

Shaker21 · 16/05/2022 16:17

@NicoleR14 Haha I can understand John wanting to wrap you in cotton wool...my husband would be the same if we had been waiting for it for so long like you have. I hope you start feeling better soon and the next 8 days go really quickly for you. Are you going to resist doing a test before then? We are trying to have a really relaxed month with no tracking this month, I am only on CD 5 so shall see how we get on x

NicoleR14 · 17/05/2022 11:09

@Shaker21 honestly it's getting on my nerves a wee bit the clinic has said just go about as I usually would just no strenuous activities so yesterday I wanted to help in the house yano tidy move things and help paint and just straight up no I was basically sent to my bedroom with a cup of tea and my vape and not allowed back out 😂, aw I hope the relaxed method helps better for you both we tried that as well we went on holiday around the time I ovulated to relax we tried iui kits which honestly a lot of people recommend if you've been trying for a while and your struggling to fall but yous will get there I have faith and I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you both 🤞🏼

NicoleR14 · 17/05/2022 11:23

@ArjaD @dizzy85 @Sungirl11 @shelly10111 how are you all getting on? Xx

Shaker21 · 17/05/2022 11:26

@NicoleR14 Haha bless him! It must be really frustrating because really all you want to do is try and not think about it and just try to be normal and if you are just being sent to relax with a cup of tea then that doesn't feel normal and can't really not think about it too much when not keeping busy. Hopefully as the days go on he will ease up a little bit. Try and keep occupied and busy if that helps distract you from it. I have a good feeling for you and can't wait for your update next week 😄I am currently on CD6 and feeling quite relaxed at the moment and happy to just be going with the flow...I am really hoping to be able to not know really how many DPO I will be for sure and will then make me just wait for AF to show or not...fingers crossed!

NicoleR14 · 22/05/2022 10:27

@Shaker21 how are you doing ☺️! I'm feeling a bit nervous I've got no symptoms at all Ive got some cramping today my boobs feel a little bit heavy and tender but my biggest thing is I can't stop crying and being emotional and I don't know why I don't know if any of this is normal and to be honest I'm freaking out lol

Shaker21 · 22/05/2022 14:06

@NicoleR14 Well heavy boobs, cramping and emotional are all good signs 🤞🏻 have you ever had any of them before? I can imagine how nervous and unsure you must be feeling...this must be the longest feeling wait than any other tww ever!!

I'm doing good, I am on CD11 today so kind of thinking I am in fertile window as previously I have ovulated anywhere between CD11 and CD16 so could be anytime now. I had some really sharp pains in my right side last night, maybe 2 or 3 times that lasted about 10 seconds but way more painful than I have ever had before. Previously ovulation pain has been a little but enough I can just carry on, where as last night the pain for a needing to stop and hold my right side. Never had it that bad so not sure what that's all about. I have got a private women's health pelvic scan this afternoon so that'll be interesting and feeling a bit nervous if I'm honest 😬

NicoleR14 · 22/05/2022 21:01

@Shaker21 I've usually got all the PM's signs before my period I always get sore boobs but not recently since I had my icsi meds it had calmed down a lot so heavy boobs could be good emotional I always get emotional but never cry like this and cramping usually starts around 3-5 days before period I had really horrible cramps on 4days past transfer and 5 days past I was feeling a little bit nauseous but haven't really thought anything about it as there is a bug going around no increase in cervical mucus so also a bad sign haha I've been quiet sore tonight and today mild cramps in my right side where the cramps I had during the week was my left side and only other thing is peeing a lot, I'm trying to stay hopeful but it's so hard when you've seen so many negative tests we will be trying 3 years this year and it's just too hard to keep seeing negative signs, ovulation pains are horrendous I've always experienced those but never an increase in discharge hopefully you DTD enough during your window my fingers are crossed for you this month 🤞🏼☺️

Shaker21 · 23/05/2022 09:16

@NicoleR14 Heavy boobs do sound like a good sign...I have also read a lot of people get pregnant and have no noticeable cervical mucus until a bit later in the weeks after finding out pregnancy so I am sure that could be ok. How are you feeling about tomorrow?

I had my scan yesterday and all was good 😄No sign of endometriosis, no sign of fibroids, no sign of PCOS, good amount of follicles, lining looked good thickness for where I am in my cycle and she said the size of my largest follicle looks like could be ready to ovulate CD 16/17 maybe and I am CD12 today so just BD every other day and going with it. I feel so much more relaxed knowing everything is all good and can just chill and wait I guess. 😬

NicoleR14 · 23/05/2022 09:36

@Shaker21 that's amazing news! At least you will be at ease now knowing that everything is good to go and no underlying issues it's all so exciting to start with haha, I'm feeling very nervous I feel more like period cramps today boobs are a bit sore now like feeling quiet tender to touch and my nipples are burning I'm actually feeling very strange and emotional I honestly don't know how to deal with what's going on inside me lol

Shaker21 · 23/05/2022 10:42

@NicoleR14 I honestly can't even imagine how you must be feeling, must be such a weird mixed feeling of nervous, anxious and excited all in one! What time is your appointment tomorrow? Will you find out the results there and then? I shall be keeping everything crossed for you!

shelly10111 · 23/05/2022 18:29

@NicoleR14 I am so hopeful/excited for you, think I will honestly scream the house down when you get those beautiful positive tests! Rest and relax, lots of it! When I conceived our little boy I had the most horrendous period cramps all week as he attached, I was adamant I was going to lose another early baby again, so sometimes the symptoms are good even if they feel like normal PMT 🥰 xx

shelly10111 · 23/05/2022 18:30

Also - other half had the snip in march so no more babies, I was pretty sad when it actually came to it, it felt very weird knowing it's "the end" - but blessed and now looking to the future of getting back to more work and renovating a very messy home 😵‍💫

Shaker21 · 24/05/2022 09:17

Good luck today @NicoleR14 😊

NicoleR14 · 24/05/2022 14:11
