Preparing to TTC in 2022 part 6

[WingingIt09]

Hello and welcome to thread 6! You guys are all amazing, can't believe the thread is still going! Congrats to those with BFPs and baby dust to those who are trying! Xx

@ScarletDreams congratulations!

Had my 32 week appt. Twin 1 is completely breech. Of course they are 🤣. Elective C-Section booked in for Early December but need to wait for theatre to book the date in but looking at 10th December.

If Twin 1 turns to head down which I am hoping they do!!! I can change to an induction.

Come on Twin 1 please go to head down for me 🤣🤞🏼.

Twin 1 is 4lb 4oz & Twin 2 is 4lb 9oz.

@LucyLoopyLu @lj2022 aw. thanks for the messages guys. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean. I did a digital yesterday and got a positive 1-2 . Af due weds/Thurs so I'm just wanting to get past that before I let myself get carried away

@PinkButtercups thank you 😊 x
Fingers crossed twin 1 gets their head down for you! How exciting that you have a potential date to meet them both! X

@Bananatoast123 that must have been so annoying on cycle 1! I had a strange "symptom" on cycle 3 (? Or maybe 4?) I had shooting pains in my boobs which I've literally never felt before in my life, turned out to be nothing!

And yeah totally agree, better to be armed with the knowledge especially with the sperm analysis as there may be some things to do to improve if needed, and no way of knowing without the experts taking a look

@PinkButtercups oh no, naughty twin hanging out upside down! I bet it will be a relief for you if they do turn. At least not too much longer for you to go now, especially if you're getting uncomfortable. I don't know what's average for twin weights but sounding pretty good 🙂

@LucyLoopyLu tww can be so cruel can’t it, giving us false signs!! I genuinely thought we’d hit the jackpot on cycle 1 but then at 10dpo I was like maybe not 🤣 little did I know we’d be on cycle 9 with the same thinking!!

how many cycles are you on now? I hope you get good news and a positive plan together!

@PinkButtercups I hope twin 1 turns for you! But how exciting that potentially only just over a month until they're here 🥰 will they be pur first group babies?!

@PinkButtercups thats so exciting!!! 💕

I think @PinkButtercups will be the first group babies! How are you doing @Dreamingof3 ?

@Bananatoast123 on cycle 8 now, I know via the GP we would have to be trying for a year before any testing but we didn't want to wait that long. I have wanted to start TTC since 2020 but the pandemic massively impacted work etc so had to make some difficult choices. With hindsight maybe could be the wrong choices.

I was on a teams call today just with one colleague, we've had some work done because of a plumbing leak and was describing that the bedroom I work in is stacked up with stuff from the other bedroom and that it's a bit silly but we have 2 "spare" beds even though we rarely have guests (we used to in our old house so just have the same furniture here). She made a jokey sort of question about will we fill the house with babies instead. It just made me feel awful. I also had my camera on so found it hard to laugh it off. I would love to be changing the bedroom into a baby's room 😶

@LucyLoopyLu ahh I wish people wouldn't make thoughtless comments like that!

I don't want to moan, but...😂 I'm alright really, glad the sickness has eased up. But already feeling very achey in my hips and dread another 18/19 weeks of this. Plus general worry with movements/birth plan etc. Never mind, will all be worth it in the end

@LucyLoopyLu ahh we are the same! But we’ve decided to try get a healthier lifestyle first and then get Xmas out the way and then do tests!! Hey I think you deal with what life throws at you and you can’t regret what you decided! In hindsight I’d have gotten my coil out sooner and I already got it out 8 months sooner than we planned 🤣 I’d have gotten it out the moment we discussed it haha!

oh god that’s so thoughtless! I think I’ve had this before when we’ve decorated. We held off on doing our office as I’d love it to be a nursery and I wanted to not touch it. But it got depressing and someone even commenting like “you’re always decorating” with a sassy tone got to me as they had no idea how hard it was to do that room for a use I didn’t want it for!!

Sooooo turns out the twinges I’ve been getting can be because of the full moon 🤣🤣 it had my hopes up there!!

@Houseelf90 @LucyLoopyLu
I can't find the list but I'm sure a couple were in front of me!

Looked on my badger notes last night and they've given my section date 14th December! 5 weeks! Ahhh!

Hey ladies, just checking in. Congratulations @ScarletDreams thats fab news!

Ah @PinkButtercups hoping that baby turns for you!! Very exciting to be so close to meeting them both.

Hope everybody is doing as well as possible on this often tough journey.

I’m coming up to 17 weeks now and found out we are having a baby boy. I found this group such a huge support when ttc so thanks so much to everyone x

@Springblooms08 how lovely a precious baby boy 🥰.

Will you double check at your 20 week scan?

Me too! I had some big turns last night so 🤞🏼 it was Twin 1 turning to the right position 🤣.

@PinkButtercups yes will double check, although it seemed to be very unambiguous from the scan, unless what we were looking at was the cord or something else!

Oooh fingers crossed that's what it was!!

@Springblooms08 they're usually pretty accurate aren't they and if I know anything about little boys is that they always want to show their bits on the scans and then a bit more when they become toddlers... 🤣.

Amazing news @ScarletDreams 🎉

So happy to hear your journeys are going well @Springblooms08 and @PinkButtercups except for the cheeky Twin 1 - fingers crossed that was them rearranging themselves last night 🤞🏻

We DTD yesterday for the first time without any protection or withdrawal, now we’re into our first proper month trying. I’m only CD9, so nothing will come of it, but it was very strange to think about the possible repercussions after trying to not conceive for the last 10+ years!

@Springblooms08 ahh how lovely! We wanted to check at our 20 week scan but baby was not playing ball so we're just assuming she's definitely a girl 😂

Gosh I think I've missed a lot of messages! I've been away as I got married last week and then went on a minimoon. As luck would have it, my minimoon coincided with the start of my fertile window. We've DTD every day so far, which we've not done in previous cycles (usually try every other day). I've definitely been less strict about diet and exercise for the last week and was pretty stressed before the wedding so not expecting anything to come of it, but just enjoying this time with my husband (!) while I'm able to think about something else other than ttc. I'm sure I'll return to my normal ttc-obsessed self very soon.

Hope everyone's doing ok - very exciting to hear updates from those expecting (fingers crossed twin 1 turns for you @PinkButtercups, and lovely to hear you're having a little boy @Springblooms08). Really sorry to anyone AF arrived for.

How are you getting on @LucyLoopyLu, did you get the results back?

It's hard to keep track of how everyone is, but I'll do a better job now wedding is done and I'm back home. Sending hugs and baby dust to everyone.

@DesertSnow congratulations on becoming a wife!!!

@Springblooms08 @dearhummingbirds thank you both for your messages 😊

Lovely to hear about your scan and you having a little boy @Springblooms08

Congratulations @DesertSnow 💕

@Dreamingof3 oh no, must be tough to be uncomfortable and hope everything goes smoothly for you. Will all be worth it in the end

@Bananatoast123 yeah I see what you mean, wouldn't want to be doing testing etc over Christmas ideally as we are away from home quite a bit and good to just have some time not to stress about things

How rude someone commenting on your decorating! Hope we will both be making a nursery for our babies before long

@PinkButtercups 14th December is a nice date! Not too close to Christmas but still in the nice build up time when you have decorations etc! Hope that was twin 1 you felt turning!

@Spingblooms08 congrats on your scan and your baby boy. Glad you are doing well

@dearhummingbirds fingers crossed for your first cycle! Hopefully you have beginners luck

@DesertSnow welcome back and congrats on the wedding! Hope you had an amazing time on your honeymoon!

We did get our results this morning. The long and short of it is that he said my scan looks fine, no issues, my AMH is within the OK range. So altogether they are saying no issues known for me although they can't rule out endometriosis as it wouldn't show on a scan. However they wouldn't recommend any more testing or treatment at this point. My husband's sperm analysis numbers were also all within normal range, with morphology above average so no problems there. I'm obviously relieved it wasn't bad news but don't feel that happy. Sounds silly I know. My husband was buzzing that there was nothing wrong and I just feel a bit flat. Maybe we just haven't had the luck so far on the 7 cycles and that's all it is.

Congratulations @DesertSnow! Hope you had a lovely wedding and minimoon.

I've missed so much as not been on mumsnet. @PinkButtercups fingers crossed twin gets moving 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I'm still pottering on. Nearly 23 weeks and unfortunately still have HG so in a bad way if I'm honest. Little one is growing okay (thank goodness), just I've lost quite a bit weight and ill.
Hope you're all doing okay! ☺️

Congrats @DesertSnow! And good luck @dearhummingbirds I have very fond memories of cycle one well the beginning part 😂😂.

Sounds like a hard one @LucyLoopyLu! Were getting our tests this month, I want to think that if it came back clear thats my sign to relax and that it will happen but you just don't know until its happening to you. Sorry it didn't give you that peace hopefully your bean is incoming.

Cycle 5 for us blah blah blah can't even try as I've got bridesmaid duties next year which tbh will be lovely :). Hope everyone is well. Lovely to hear all the pregnant ladies journeys!

@LucyLoopyLu ahhh it is good news but I also get why you feel flat! I think I’d be the same in that you don’t have a plan other than to continue on, which is hard when you’ve had the last 7 cycles! I hope you feel better about it and find the strength to continue positively!

I’m back with a bbt question anyone or everyone (sorry not sorry!!)

I’m 8dpo and had two in a row that have decreased..(yesterday by 0.04 and then today was 0.1). Can you have a slow decline to AF as I’d read you tend to suddenly drop before? My LP is usually 13-14 days! Am I out because I’m dropping or is it ok because I’m still above cover line? I’ve been having some cramps the last few days, more stronger today!

basically want someone to give me hope 😅
