Preparing to TTC in 2022 part....7?!

[Dreamingof3]

Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@Dreamingof3 Thanks for the new thread and the tag!

@PinkButtercups I'm sorry they couldn't find a closer place for you ❤️

Not much to report for me- currently CD28 but we haven't really tried this month. I just bought a 2 month stash of inositol and EPO, hopefully I might get lucky and won't have to buy anymore!

Hope everyone is well xx

Ahh @PinkButtercups sending you all the love. I can imagine it's tough being so far away, and just a scary situation anyway, but hopefully not long until you meet your gorgeous babies ❤️

@LucyLoopyLu I'm alright thanks! Struggling with my hips and debating if I can make it to Christmas and then get signed off work for a bit, take my holiday and then start maternity! My job isn't strenuous but it's 6-8 hours by myself, bending and crouching to get money out of a safe 😂 it isn't comfortable!

@PinkButtercups oh no, sorry you've had to be transferred so far away. But you can do this 💪 and you're in a safe place now for you and the babies. Thinking of you

@HeathenPlayingHouse I know the feeling, I have been using expensive TTC vitamins all year and I keep dithering about whether to just swap onto a cheaper option but seems like a waste now if I stop taking them before I get BFP.

@Dreamingof3 that does sound hard! Sounds tiring even without the baby bump tbh. Bet you will be glad to be finished. When is your due date?

@PinkButtercups so sorry to hear you have had to be transferred so far away. You got this and I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say, we are all sending you are best wishes!

@LucyLoopyLu 19th march 😒 but I feel like once Christmas is out of the way that wil come round pretty quickly. I also have a feeling I won't get that far so I'm happy to be at home for a while before and make the most of my older 2 being at school hah

@Dreamingof3 that will come round so quickly after Christmas won’t it! And definitely enjoy some time with the older 2 at school!!

I hope it's ok for me to join, I'm so excited!!

We're planning to TTC from January (once the in-laws go home after xmas) but stopped being careful entirely a couple of months ago. I had a "scare" (wouldn't call it that as we would've been delighted) in the summer and I was fully convinced I was pregnant (I wasn't) and then again recently, was completely convinced but didn't "hope" too much - still cried when my period came through! Since then, every single tiny symptom I have gets translated into "you could be pregnant" in my brain!

Fully planning on taking it easy from now on though instead of always hoping/assuming (easier said than done, I know) but super excited to start trying soon :)

14dpo and my spotting has stopped, I’m super bloated but on nights so can’t tell what that’s from, hungry all the time and seeing loads! No sign of AF who is due on Monday, who knows if I’m going to wait haha!

@BethSuz27 oh that sounds so promising are you going to test soon ?

@lj2022 going to test on Monday! If AF doesn’t turn up! It’s odd the spotting pretty much stopped apart from the odd tiny little bit when I got up after my night but otherwise it’s stopped!

Thank you all.
Induction started at 2:30am and of course Twin 2 has turned breech!

Balloon inserted and was told I was already 1-2cm dilated on my own. Some odd pains here and there.

@PinkButtercups eeek!!!! Get them babies out safe and well!! Hope everything goes well 💕

@PinkButtercups good luck!!! ❤️❤️

@DesertSnow @LucyLoopyLu thank you both xx

All tests came back clear. I start my first round of IVF at Christmas.

Thank you!

Pains heightens then goes back down again 🤣. Balloon still not fallen out on it's own yet 🙄

@PinkButtercups eeek! So excited for you!

@SarahShorty that's good news about the tests coming back clear, and that IVF will be starting so soon!

Hey! Thanks for the new thread! Sorry I’ve been MIA - I hope everyone is doing okay?

Took time out after what was the most difficult month last cycle. I’m 4dpo, O on CD14 and we dtd on CD9,10,13,14 but 13&14 were post stag do for my OH so not counting on them being any good at swimming!

i’m also not really expecting it to happen this month as works been soo stressful 😟 got a banging headache today because of it! We’re off next week to go away so hoping it’ll reset me on everything so we can go into the new year refreshed and ready!

@PinkButtercups so excited for you! Good luck xx

Hope you're doing ok @PinkButtercups - so excited for you and hope you get the delivery you want.

@LucyLoopyLu only really tiredness and sore boobs. If I hadn't missed a period and got positive tests I would be wondering if it was really happening! 6 weeks tomorrow, which feels like a milestone.

@Bananatoast123 So sorry you had such a difficult cycle. Starting the new year afresh sounds like a very good plan, if you don't get your BFP this cycle. You never know - my OH and I both had flu when we conceived so we didn't think the swimmers would be up to the job. Only takes one!

@DesertSnow thank you! We will see! I’m just not going to expect anything this month 🙂 after some evaps last month it was definitely too much! My OH and I agreed to just enjoy the festive season being pregnant free and if it happens then amazing but if not, new year we go again! We are also going to go for proper tests in the new year too!!

I hope you’re doing ok and enjoying the early stages?

@PinkButtercups good luck thinking of you and hoping everything goes well 💗

@Bananatoast123 welcome back! Hope you're feeling better from your break. It definitely gets overwhelming, and can see the appeal of just having christmas as a chilled out cycle and starting fresh in the new year.

@DesertSnow to be fair I think the symptoms vary so much don't they! Hopefully it will continue for you and you'll have a lovely pregnancy

I've had a little bit of pinkish spotting just now when I wiped so feeling a bit depressed. AF wasn't meant to be due till Monday and now looks like it might be tomorrow instead 😪 I was going to test on Monday morning if there wasn't any sign, doesn't look like I'll get that far now

@Bananatoast123 Sounds like you have a good plan in place, and hopefully that will help you enjoy December knowing you're moving forwards in January. I'm ok thanks! I'm of course thrilled but also quite anxious about something going wrong, but trying to relax as worrying won't help.

@LucyLoopyLu Thank you! And yes from what I've seen even the same woman could have two very different pregnancies, so having lots of symptoms or no symptoms doesn't really mean anything. Sorry you think AF is coming - do you usually spot before? Any chance it could be implantation bleeding?

Crashed my car this evening girlies, all ok and only a little bit of damage, but I was a bit worried and a lot crampy so decided to test and it was negative, I actually feel ok with it, obviously wasn’t meant to be with all the stres I’ve had this month, hopefully 2023 is my year ❤️
