New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@newtolineofduty i totally agree!

I think I will have to really hear myself up for doing it again. Along with making sure I’m at a good weight before hand as I’m sure that is contributing to all these aches and pains. It sounds so strange but most of my pain is in like the pubic/vulva kind of region!! ESP when I stand on one leg when putting my clothes on! So painful!

Yes I've been having that just recently @hoola23 ! Midwife says he's now head down so that might be why, so he may be head down already and his head is putting pressure on down there!? X

@newtolineofduty horrible isn’t it! I feel like someone’s kneed me! Every scan I’ve had they’ve said he is so low down and he likes to sit head down hence the punches to my cervix that I feel!! That’s prob why I have so much pubic pain!

how has your pregnancy been? How you feeling about the big day? Did you have a c section last time?

Hi All, we've had some sad news that the pregnancy does look viable. Baby isn't growing and is very small. Have a confirmation scan next week but preparing for the worst 😞 x
Hope everyone else is doing well and you've enjoyed the nice weather 😊 x

@hoola23 I’d say it’s been ok overall thank you but I’m more tired than last time and feel overall very unfit as I’ve not been able to maintain any exercise (or rest up) due to having my three year old this time! My partner has been amazing though and has been taking all the kids out on a Saturday the last few weeks to give me
some rest! I’m very ready to not be pregnant though whereas I didn’t feel like this last time! X

@newtolineofduty glad you’re being looked after! I can’t imagine having to care for another human whilst being pregnant - barely coping with myself! I think my parenting skills would seriously lack if I had a little one right now 🤣🤣

@LittleDoveLove oh hun I’m so sorry to hear that. I do hope things turn around for you. Please look after yourself, sending a big hug x

@LittleDoveLove I'm so sorry to hear that I can't imagine how you feeling having already had to wait another couple of weeks x TTC really is so cruel xxx

Thank you ladies. It's been quite emotional but I have prepared for the worst - I am not looking forward to the tablets or D&C. I am trying to be pragmatic about it that at least I know now and it's best to know now something isn't right.
Glad your all doing well not long to go now! Xx

@LittleDoveLove i totally agree with you. Sending lots of love x

Thank you @hoola23. Glad all doing well. @MrsRosaline how are you doing? X

@newtolineofduty how exciting! Good luck. Keep us posted won't you with your news?

@hoola23 i empathise I really do. I was sick throughout to birth and also in pain. But the memory of it fades once the baby is here and they are so so worth it!

@LittleDoveLove how are you doing? I know you must be feeling all kind of things right now and it's still raw. How are you doing?

Hi @MrsRosaline I'm ok, the limbo was worst, it's best to know now than later. It was painful on Thursday I won't lie about that but I am past the worst of it I think.
We are looking to the future and going to keep going and try as soon as we can due to age. So I will be joining you once again. Not sure after these things you ovulate but I'm going to be monitoring with sticks and temp time to try and help as it's an unknown generally. How are you doing ? X

You might find ovulation is a bit later, mine was day 32. @LittleDoveLove I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

I'm currently CD5. I sometimes want to give up and sometimes want to keep going. We've been trying so long it's hard to find the motivation.

@MrsRosaline it is isn't it. My husband is super positive, would you look to IVF? That is our plan if we have another problem. X

@LittleDoveLove my husband is the same. But I guess it's not his body that grew a little bean, even if it never grew properly. I'm undecided about IVF. We certainly can't afford it, so probably not. We will just have to keep going. Maybe one day but DH is 45 so there does come a point where he may be too old...

How old are you and your DH? You mentioned Age was an issue too.

Hi @MrsRosaline we are both 39. I am concerned about the over 40 element. How old are you?

Husband is also now taking same ubiquinol as me just a lower dose. Maybe that will help us. I barely drink now and neither does he so I hope that also helps the quality. Trying to get lots of sleep and water and stay relaxed. But I have booked the reflexology again too.
If I have another MC I will pay to get investigations I think as it's so slow on NHS with fertility clinic. X

I'm 31 @LittleDoveLove

Think I will be 1DPO tomorrow. Is it ok to still go to reflexology?

Hi @MrsRosaline I'm not sure but the last time I conceived I had it at about a week after ovulation. I felt it actually helped me relax for implantation but I didn't check if it was ok or not. I have booked mine for 20th I'll have hopefully ovulated by then. X

Hi all! Hope everyone is keeping well and staying cool in this heat! 32 weeks now, huge,hot and fed up! I’m at that stage now where bending down is painful and I look like a Michelin man!

had a growth scan a couple of weeks ago and baby has dropped from the 50th percentile at 20 weeks down to the 3rd for his abdominal circumference so have a follow up scan next week. I’m not too worried as I know these scans can be so inaccurate so will see what our next scan shows

im having lots of cramping lower down now and around my back and sorry for tmi but loose stools for 6 days! Pretty much every time I eat I have to go about an hour later. I don’t know if the cramping is gut/bowel related or baby related at this stage! It’s like a tight pain and defo more noticeable on my left side- I’ve obviously googled and freaked myself out that I’ll go into early labour or I have bowel cancer 😫

@hoola23 lovely to hear from you! This weather is not nice to be pregnant in! I had lots of loose stools towards the end I think!

I had my baby boy last week and he's absolutely amazing! I'm waiting for it to change though as he seems too good to be true at the moment! X

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to join in here? My partner and I are on our second cycle TTC baby #2. We have an amazing little boy who turns 2 next month. I have nobody in person I can talk to about this stuff so just looking for some people who have been/are there and get it. I hope everyone's doing well.

Congratulations @newtolineofduty that's amazing news!
@hoola23 hope you're ok, I am sure everything will be just fine with your scan, not sure on the loose stools could maybe the baby lying funny and be putting pressure on your bowel? I used to get ibs so I was always on the loo! Having my baby seemed to fix that though 😀.
I'm back TTC still no ovulation I don't think but had my first negative test on Sunday and Second on Monday so I know the tablets for the management worked.

@LittleDoveLove hope you're doing ok xxx sending love x

Thank you @newtolineofduty yes I'm doing ok now thank you, back ovulating now so trying again 🤞x
