TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

New thread ladies as were nearly at 1000 and I don't want to lose you guys 😂

@MamaSJ15 oh no! Prepare to cry😭
No we won't. If baby comes in May I'll be 41😩 I asked DH to get the snip and he rang up last week and booked an appointment. Although goodness knows what the waiting list is like.

It's hard to know though because a loss is hard and trying for our rainbow had made it easier to deal with xx

@MrsCristiano that's a shame, but fingers crossed for this time 🤞🤞
If it doesn't happen this cycle for us I think we'll have to miss a cycle because of the move, we are not gonna be in any fit state to DTD 😂 really hoping this is the cycle for us!!

Every hour on the hour I've had to pee 🤬 there will be no fmu today.🙄

@MrsCristiano keeping my fingers crossed for you, so annoying that you've been up peeing! Hopefully you managed a few hours without after your last message! Whatever happens I hope you have an amaaaazing time in Barcelona 😘
@MamaSJ15 how are you feeling now? glad to see you've got your house sorted!! 😊

@MrsCristiano ooh can see the clearblue and the one step faint line too! Fingers crossed they get darker!!

I can seem them too, good luck @MrsCristiano xx
I just figured out that you are Mrs G! 🤣🤦‍♀️

@alwaysseeingstars hi! How are you doing? I'm good thanks, feeling better now that we've found a house, just got a very busy month trying to get things all sorted now! And DD looks so grown up on her first day of preschool today! 🥹

I have been trying to find something like this, me and my partner have decided to try and started our journey a few weeks ago. I came off the injection a good few months ago now and moved to the pill but now about a month ago or just under I stopped the pill and started this journey.

Trying not to obsess as I’ve come off birth control with the mind set it could take a while, years even. But needed somewhere to unload and discuss other peoples experiences.

i have been raising 3 step children with my partner that I love very much and im excited at the prospect of adding a 4th child to our family. I just want to share and socialise with people of the same experience as we are keeping it under wraps to avoid pressure too. Any tips and chatting will be appreciated 😊

@Kitty901 I had to change my name DH knew Mrs G and he's been taking a slating on recent threads 🤣

What do people think of this line please?

@FrannyJP welcome! Lovely to have you join us on your journey 😊

@MamaSJ15 thank you 😊

@MapleSyrup2112 looks extremely positive to me, congratulations! 😊

So I'm at 7dpo today, got lots to keep me busy and my mind occupied until I sit down at night! But I do have a very sore Ulcer at the moment, not like me, I don't usually get ulcers 😕

@FrannyJP welcome! it's definitely helpful having people on here to chat to about it all when not talking about things with people in real life!
@MapleSyrup2112 congratulations!!
@MamaSJ15 I'm doing ok thanks, had my booking appt on Sat which was nice to get done! Few negatives from it though, I've got to start a higher dose of folic acid, start taking aspirin daily from 12 weeks, and start injecting myself with blood thinners daily 😣am going to be under consultant led care too, not sure what difference that will make to the journey? Re your DD, ah that must've been emotional! hope she had a fab day? And I'm hoping the ulcer is the good sign for you that it was for me 😘

@alwaysseeingstars it really is! I’m trying to resist the urge to do tests and look into too much.
I came off the pill and bled straight away for about 8 days, getting lighter. Now no bleeding but a lot of symptoms so hoping at least my body is kicking back into gear aged maybe a period of sorts as surely wouldn’t be pregnancy this fast. It’s a minefield, was on contraception for so long I’m not even used to symptoms that could simply be period haha

Aww why have you got to do all that if you don't mind me asking? Is this your first baby?
I am sure everything will be ok xxx

@Kitty901 yeah it's my first, no of course I don't mind you asking! I've had a clot on the lung and brain in the past so they want the blood thinners as a precaution as pregnancy can increase the risk of clots if you're prone to them. Re the folic acid and aspirin it is due to having high/variable blood pressure - which is ironic as my GP took me off my beta blockers when I said I was pregnant! So the midwife is getting my GP to put me on some pregnancy safe ones.
How are you doing? xx

Ohh right, my sister's husband has been having blood cloth issues ever since i remember him. It is good you are being taken care of!
Ahh first baby exciting!!! 🤗 not that i am not about having a second but the first time really is different.
I am ok 14+2 now and baby looks like a human being. I had all the pregnancy symptoms from week 7 to 12 which i never had with my first 🤔 but glad they have disappeared and i have returned to life. Just waiting for the Dawn results to come through the post now, hoping all is good there too.
How are you feeling?

@Kitty901 it is really exciting :) still struggling a lot with switching between worried about MMC/excitedly making plans! Am roughly 8+4 today. Only symptoms are exhaustion (my god it's bad, I never knew pregnant women struggled so much!!) and sore boobs in the evenings/nights. Bit concerned about no nausea but the midwife just said to embrace it for now 😂
That's really exciting, you're a fair way in now!! Fingers crossed for you for the downs results, do you know how long they'll take?

@alwaysseeingstars honestly, i never had any pregnancy symptoms with my first, never!!! So don't stress if you don't have symptoms or not all of them. I never understood why others say they feel unwell when i was feeling like normal i thought they were overstating everything 🤣 (forgive me for saying this)...well i figured it out this time haha well deserved i guess!!
Well it's been a week now since the scan and bloods, they said 2 weeks max to come through the post so that is another week to go but, if results were concerning i would receive a call within the next 2 days. Right, i had no call yet so i am hoping all is good and normal.

I know, i still can't believe i got pregnant in he month i did not track anything and only dtd once in that month after 7 months of tracking, planning, hoping worrying etc 😊 i think this is why it only became real last week when we saw the baby.🤣

@alwaysseeingstars wow that's a lot isn't it. I would say the upside to being consultant led is that you get a lot more checks than you would if you were midwife led. Oo I hope so, I've only got one and it's starting to fade now but it was very painful for a couple of days! I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much, it could just be the stress of everything with moving 😂 but AF is due Friday so not long to wait but too early to test cause I seem to have a short luteal phase!

@MamaSJ15 ohh i used to stress so much about my short LP. Mine was short 9/10 days in a 22 days cycle and tried all sorts of vitamins to extend it. I did start taking Angus Cactus in May, not sure if that could have helped me conceive but didn't hurt anyway.

@Kitty901 it's only recently that's it's ended up being short, after the miscarriage I starting using opk to track ovulation and it turns out I ovulate around CD18 but still only have a 28 day cycle usually. Maybe I've always ovulated late but didn't know!

All fingers and toes are crossed for you @MrsCristiano !!!!
