Entering into 8th cycle..

Entering into 8th cycle…ttc number 2.

Feeling defeated and deflated even though I know odds are still on our side really..
I already have a DD who is 3 years 9 months so very much feel time is of the essence. Just desperate for it to happen now.

Feel like either people seem to fall super fast or seem like 12 months plus and don’t find many “in the middle” types.

Ive fallen pregnant 1st cycle before. And then DD took 7 cycles. So hence why this failed 7th cycle seems like a miserable milestone!

Anyone welcome to keep me company. Sucks 😫

@OK92 how have you waited 😂, I'm so eager to buy stuff but I'm waiting out for the 20 week scan. Genuinely feel so unpregnant and it's horrible. Lots of people have said around 20 weeks with no.1 so i'm just hopeful that I'm one of those people x

OK92 · 21/09/2022 08:48

@FlyOnTheWall89 I know I need to sort it out! In fairness we have lots of the big bits from my first and then we aren't finding out the sex so it's made it a bit harder to buy much. I have a handful of neutral newborn clothes from my first.

Are you showing or not yet? Your next scan is soon though which is good! I've not got anything now until 36 weeks which feels like ages away and I think baby is breech 🙈

FlyOnTheWall89 · 21/09/2022 11:23

@OK92 arh okay. I guess that does make it a bit harder.

Ye I am showing - I was showing pretty early and felt super bloated until about 12 weeks and then it all changed a bit and I feel less swollen and more like I have a proper bump. My last scan was 12+6 and my next is 20 weeks - 2 to go but feels like a lifetime.

At 36 weeks you'll nearly be there! So exciting. If you are breach do they try to turn the baby or anything? Xx

Indianna2006 · 21/09/2022 15:47

@OK92 I think you are more relaxed about the second. As well as the fact you have a lot of it just in storage. You need nowhere near as much. God the amount you have to buy first time is just crazy 😂😂
naughty little breach baby. Sometimes they do just turn late.

@FlyOnTheWall89 aww the kicks will soon come. I was quite early with mine at 17 weeks but I am very slim and petite so think that could of been part of it. I have had friends not feel anything until 22 weeks ish. Which is all normal. Can depend where your placenta is sat too. You soon know once they get moving. An then they have a party in there when you try go to bed 😂😂

yes I guess I am about 9 weeks behind you. Just hoping it’s still all okay at the dating scan. I’m way more sick this time. So trying to wish this bit away until I feel better as it’s a slog isn’t it. Waiting and feeling crap. Whilst hoping it isn’t for nothing again.

OK92 · 11/10/2022 17:28

@Indianna2006 @FlyOnTheWall89 how are you both doing? Hope recent scans if you've had them went well.

Baby is no longer breech so hopefully they don't turn again! Feel huge and so uncomfortable now 😮‍💨

Indianna2006 · 11/10/2022 18:01

@OK92 oh bless you! Not long to go. How many weeks until due date?

Not quite had my dating scan yet. It’s on Monday. I am 12 weeks today. And deff got a sizeable bump already so 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@OK92 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Kiaa

I had my dating scan last Monday. All was well 🥰🥰 I moved ahead in dates like I always do.
I will be 15 weeks on Saturday and I officially have a baby bump so was beginning to get impossible to hide from people!

hope you are all well 😘 xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 26/10/2022 21:02

@Indianna2006 fantastic news - must feel more real now you've moved passed that 12 week mark and you have a bump! I'm 24 weeks and she's moving around much more - it's magic 🥰 x

OK92 · 27/10/2022 11:02

@Indianna2006 so pleased for you! You must be so so happy.

Time is flying now, I'll be 36 weeks this weekend. Finally starting to buy stuff and get organised. Doesn't feel real there will be a little one joining the family so soon!

Kiaa · 28/10/2022 22:15

@Indianna2006

Congrats how exciting 💕 sisters are the best

OK92 · 15/11/2022 20:47

@Indianna2006 awww congrats 💘💘 is your DD excited?

No baby yet! I'm 38+2 so still a couple weeks left to go. So uncomfortable now but also not quite ready for baby to make an appearance. Just hope I'm not 9 days late like I was with my DD. Getting super anxious about birth now too 😩

OK92 · 27/11/2022 08:30

@Indianna2006 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Kiaa

Our little girl was born on Tuesday 🥰 seems like we've got a lot of girls on this thread! So so happy and she was so worth the wait. Hope you guys are all doing well!

Indianna2006 · 27/11/2022 08:50

@OK92 Aww massive congrats to you all! Hope the birth went well. 🥰🥰baby sister for your DD. Deffo girls rule the world haha.

@OK92 massive congratulations 🥳. She wasn't late then thankfully. Hope all went okay x x

Kiaa · 28/11/2022 04:23

@OK92
Wow another girl born congrats hope you & bub are going well 🥰

emhope · 28/11/2022 14:25

Congratulations to those with BFP’s and those who have had their lovely babies 💕

When I saw this thread pop up I started to read from the beginning and then got a bit too invested 😳 and have now pretty much read the whole thing and followed your journeys 😂

Just wanted to say it’s really helped me reading all this…I’m just about to move onto cycle number 9 after an MMC earlier this year and feeling like it will never happen for me and completely deflated but this thread has given me a little more hope today 🥰

Kiaa · 04/12/2022 08:37

@emhope

Welcome !🥰
Haha it's a long thread too 😂
Sorry to hear it been a tough long few months fingers are so very crossed for you this cycle 🤞
Here for support if you need it xx

Indianna2006 · 18/01/2023 16:11

@Kiaa @OK92 hope you ladies are getting on okay with your little bubbas.

@FlyOnTheWall89 how are you getting on? You must almost be there! The final stretch is in sight. Are you about 36 weeks now? 😬😬

I’m almost 27 weeks so almost 3rd trimester and starting to feel the strain. The back pain and energy whilst running round after a 4 year old is 😵‍💫

I hope to get my Elective c section date in about 4 or 5 weeks 🥰

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 18/01/2023 17:33

@Indianna2006 hi! Great to hear you're 27 weeks in now and all on track.

Yes I'm just under 36 weeks and thankfully feeling really well but I was very strong and fit before so maybe this has helped combined with a bit of luck. I've got carpal tunnel in both wrists which is painful at night but otherwise isn't too bad. Just over half way through my bump classes now too so feeling much more informed etc. Hoping she comes roughly on time and isn't too late as desperate to meet her now. X

Kiaa · 20/01/2023 10:48

@Indianna2006 all is going well bub is now rolling and laughing
Glad to hear all is going well for you 😀
Wait till baby 2 is born having energy for both baby and 4 year old is exhausting I miss lazy days 😂
@FlyOnTheWall89
So exciting not long now till bub is in your arms !
@OK92 hope you & the baby are good

Indianna2006 · 23/01/2023 10:45

@FlyOnTheWall89 ahh bless you. Does seem to be whizzing by.
most babies come between the 39-41 week mark. So anywhere in between that you have pretty good odds.
I went into labour with my DD at 40+4 and she was born 3 days later as 41 weeks exactly.
although quite glad I might get this one out at 39 and not be waiting those 2 extra weeks 😅

I keep saying to my friends think I’ve forgotten about a newborn and baby as it’s been so long. But I do remember it all just comes naturally an somehow you just know your own baby 🙂 xx

@Kiaa glad bubs is doing well. Ahah yes Altho I still hope for some lazy days as my one goes to school so just solo parenting again in the day with a baby which will be quite nice.
