@Sweetbabydust1989 glad it sounds like you're getting somewhere.. not too long to wait now!

So I had my internal exam today with the gp and talked through everything and it was really helpful - in one way positive because she said all my blood tests came back normal and then internal checks she was happy with said there was nothing wrong at all there apart from a small cyst but she thinks that is ovulation. So I just have to do my 21 day bloods and an US but that's not for 6 weeks (!) The only thing she did say was that dh going running nearly every night was probably killing off his guys so I'm hopeful now we know that and he's going to stop running so much that we might stand a chance 🤞🤞

@Miscarriage39 @Babyghirl @Annny27 where you at ladies? How's it going?

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 19:59

@kiwi17 @Babyghirl thanks ladies just feeling really shit SIL is rubbing her baby progress in my face constantly nothing new there I have distant myself away from the family atm for someone who has been through baby loss you would have thought she would have some compassion but nope she is a selfish little cow sorry for the rant.. I might be loosing an important part of my fertility if they cannot sort it etc and she is posting so much crap on FB... I am quite private with baby news etc I don't need to share my stuff with fake friends I have a baby because I want my family to grow not to parade around for attention.. xx

kiwi17 · 16/07/2021 22:30

Oh no @Sweetbabydust1989 I hate that and that's so insensitive of her too knowing what you're going through :( definitely one to mute on Facebook

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 22:34

@kiwi17 already done 🤣 keeps going on about her due date which would of been mine just no sure how to handle this at all x

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 23:21

@kiwi17
I'm sure u r relieved everything came bck OK, but tie your dh to the chair so he can't go out running 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm cd13 today got my scan internal and external on Tuesday god my lady garden is not my own anymore 😂😂😂😂😂😂x
@sweetbabydust1989
Yep unfollow her I deleted my Facebook account because of the same thing how unsenstive of her 💚

Miscarriage39 · 17/07/2021 07:45

Sweetbabydust1989 I’m glad you have a date for your surgery. It’s only natural that it’s terrifying, but try to hold on to the thought that this is your route to your precious bundle. Sending lots of positive vibes your way.

Sorry you are also still having to deal with your thoughtless SIL!

kiwi17 that’s great news that everything looked normal and your bloods were good. Hopefully tying your DH to the chair is all that’s needed 😆.

Wow Babyghirl, you really are being poked and prodded in all directions at the moment. I am so pleased for you that you are finally having all these tests done.

I’n still getting two lines, but struggling to actually take it on board at the moment. I just don’t think so can emotionally attach to the idea that we may actually have a baby yet. Self protection maybe?

I know this may be crazy, but we have reserved a puppy this week! We were in a breeders list, and they called to say the puppies had arrived. We had a chat about waiting and letting these go, but then realised we may find ourselves with nothing and desperately wanting both. So, we are going ahead, and will hopefully be bringing home our four legged bundle in September. So for now, I’m focusing on that.

Babyghirl · 17/07/2021 09:06

@miscarriage39
How r you feeling and a puppy will do yous the world of good and will be a baby's best friend, what type of dog is it xx

Miscarriage39 · 17/07/2021 09:09

Thanks Babyghirl. I’m not feeling too bad, just very tired and with occasional mild nausea. Trying to remember how lucky I am while also ignoring it.
The puppy is a labradoodle. She’s currently a week and a half old and very cute.
How are you doing?

kiwi17 · 17/07/2021 09:27

@Babyghirl tie him to a chair 🤣🤣🤣 I will shout everytime he asks to go running now though 😆 he'll have to wait til af appears! @Miscarriage39 glad it's still going ok - I bet a puppy will be a good distraction and I know what you mean about trying to ignore the pregnancy I think I'd probably feel the same (if it ever happens!! 😭) but I was also putting off taking on extra responsibilities at work thinking oh well I won't be there much longer but I don't want to keep holding myself back for no reason so I've gone for that as well. School holidays soon so hopefully we'll both be a bit more relaxed!

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:47

@Babyghirl lol thanks! He has happy to DTD yesterday after a day off! Especially as I told him to choose his favourite position and enjoy a quickie lol! Thankful for preseed! Sorry if that's TMI! X

My BBT went up to 98F this morning so that could be a good sign! I've been drinking lots of warm ginger tea so hopefully that will help to keep me warm and help things along. Glad that I should know my progesterone levels soon after my 21 day check next week and hoping I can get it prescribed quickly if I need it.

Yes, I've heard that smeg plan has a high success rate! If we're TTC next month I'll probably use a basic ovulation kit rather than Clearblue advanced so DH doesn't get tired of DTD during the flashing smiley days again! X

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:50

@Sweetbabydust1989 I hope your surgery goes really well and that your Rainbow Baby follows soon after! Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:56

@kiwi17 Glad you got some good news from your GP! Extremely helpful to hear about the running thing! It seems like you'll have a much better chance now that you know that! Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 11:01

@Babyghirl Lol yes it does seem like your lady garden is not your own anymore!🤣🤣 I hope your scans go well and that they are helpful Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 11:06

@Miscarriage39 how far along are you now? Awww! Puppies seem like a very good distraction to me! Yes, I expect to have mixed feelings if I have a BFP again but I hope that you can enjoy the moment too and find time for some lovely treats along the way Xx

MrsF111 · 17/07/2021 15:10

Hi everyone, posted on some of these threads but not been very active on here recently. I was getting into a very miserable place mentally so tried to focus on other things. Currently 2dpo. 3rd cycle since my periods came back after 2nd miscarriage. Been trying for 15 months now!! God writing that down makes it feel a lot more real. Can’t believe I’m still trying. Baby dust to all of you amazing ladies battling through this

Babyghirl · 17/07/2021 18:56

@miscarriage39
Think I have sun stroke lol was working at the wlk in vacation centre today outside very warm just home on cd14 today good things r going good for you and I have everything crossed this is ur rainbow 💚
@kiwi17

@HOpeing deffo nt mine any more lol thank you fingers crossed will keep yous updated 💚
@mrsF111
Sorry to hear you weren't doing to good hopefully you start to feel better soon and rant away on here we got u 💚

Miscarriage39 · 17/07/2021 21:28

It will happen for you kiwi17. Hopefully it’s just a case of your DH cutting back in the running. I totally get that extra responsibilities at work may not be what you want right now, but the experience will put your career in a better place when you do take a break to have a baby. I’ve always been someone who likes to plan and have everything in a logical, orderly order in life, but I’m really learning that sometimes you just have to go with the flow, take the opportunities that come up, and accept that life’s detours can actually have positive outcomes (even if it seems unlikely at the time). Good luck with the new bits to your role.

Oh no Babyghirl, sun stroke is horrible. I hope you feel much better in the morning.

Good luck for the 21 day bloods H0peing.
I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow, so still early days.

PeanuttyButter · 17/07/2021 21:43

Hi girls
Think I'm ok the tww now, had my lh peak few days ago and now it's on its way down again. Think O was on CD13 which is early for me, but we dtd on day 8,10,12 and 14 and hopefully tomorrow again for good luck. Not feeling optimistic as my temps haven't made much sense. Fingers crossed for us all x

Babyghirl · 18/07/2021 09:02

@PeanuttyButter
Think this head has knocked us all off tbh but you look like u have it covered and hopefully it's ur month 💚

kiwi17 · 18/07/2021 15:53

@Miscarriage39 I totally agree and actually think that if I keep turning down responsibilities because I 'might' get pregnant then they will stop asking! Yeah so the running thing I really should have seen coming- he's just done an ultra marathon in the lakes (100km - 13 hrs of running) and has been training for it for months so running every day... not sure why I didn't think of it before 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ but fingers crossed that's what it is! Hope you're doing ok 5 weeks done 35 to go! 😁

@Babyghirl you reckon the heat affects ovulation? I'm not even checking this month so have no idea where I'm at in the cycle😂 but had to book my day 22 bloods on day 25 as we're away so hoping they'll still be able to get something from that 😬

Babyghirl · 18/07/2021 16:08

@kiwi17
Yea look it up they say sleeping in a warmer or colder room can make your temp higher or lower I'm not checking mine either have not for months nw lol, hw many days is your cycle.

kiwi17 · 18/07/2021 16:36

Oh well night time recently have been sweaty! 😂 @Babyghirl my cycles are normally 29 days... but because of the 6 days of spotting before af they are doing tests..

Babyghirl · 18/07/2021 21:44

@kiwi17 what day do your norm ovulate 💚

kiwi17 · 18/07/2021 21:45

@Babyghirl it seems to swing from cd13 anywhere to cd17 so not really sure 😆 think my body is a mess!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 19/07/2021 16:07
