@TheBirdintheCave fair enough, best to let the professionals guide you. It all sounds really promising though 🤞

@LuckyMoonstone hang onto that thought when you're feeling worried - that in itself is a really good sign! How are you feeling about it all today?

@bringmearainbow haha love a bit of scheduled baby making. Tbf, I've always gone with that approach. Not romantic in the slightest but at least there can be no excuses 😂 are you beginning to use strips yet?

FfoxRedN · 14/02/2023 17:24

Had my follow up. The balance of cells in my lining suggest low NK cells but also an unfussy selection process: so my body should have never implanted the last two pregnancies. He did say the sitagliptin should make this process more robust, so 3 cycles not trying again.
I've also had an amazing opportunity come up at work, but it means postponing trying for about 10 months again so I've got to turn it down really 😩. It's just so frustrating when I may not even get a baby at the end of all this anyway, but then miss out aswell in other aspects. It's all a bit of a frustrating situation like my life is on hold and maybe for nothing xx

LuckyMoonstone · 14/02/2023 17:40

@bunnykins123 I know I’ve got no reason to believe that anything’s gone wrong, it’s just so hard not to let the negative thoughts in. I’m ok today, just anxious to get to Thursday evening!

MrsJGrealish · 14/02/2023 17:48

@FfoxRedN oh god 😢 that's pure shit I'm sorry lovely. Remembering fondly the times we only had to worry about peak day and getting DH to play ball 😕

@LuckyMoonstone will be thinking of you tomorrow ❤️

LuckyMoonstone · 14/02/2023 18:01

@FfoxRedN that is frustrating 😕 sorry you have to deal with all this. Why would the promotion stop you from TTC? If you can explain without being too outing.

MrsJGrealish · 14/02/2023 18:17

@LuckyMoonstone sorry Thursday my head is a mess today xx

LuckyMoonstone · 14/02/2023 18:28

@MrsJGrealish that’s ok! I was getting my weeks mixed up earlier at work, I thought the 20th was still a couple of weeks away but it’s next Monday 🤯 February is flying by

bunnykins123 · 14/02/2023 18:46

@FfoxRedN well in some ways, it's a good thing to get some answers and also know a bit more about what happened with the last 2 pregnancies. I know it's frustrating when you have to delay trying, do you think you will go with the medication? Awh shame about the promotion, it often does feel like ttc puts everything else on hold.

@LuckyMoonstone well I'll be thinking of you! I do understand how hard it is to have positive thoughts though. But from everything you told us, it all sounds very positive.

TheBirdintheCave · 14/02/2023 19:02

@FfoxRedN Augh that's so frustrating :( I'm glad you have some sort of a direction though. Are you planning on trying the meds?

bringmearainbow · 14/02/2023 20:09

@bunnykins123 haha yes def not romantic but needs must 🙊 no still a bit too early will give it a few days and start the opk

@FfoxRedN ahhh lovely what a bloody conundrum 🙈 is the new job not something you could do whilst TTC? It's so hard when the options are basically waiting and more waiting. Would ivf help or not make much difference? Xxx

FfoxRedN · 14/02/2023 20:23

It would be an attachment which would be 4 days away from home per week (staying away) but an active job which I couldn't do health and safety wise whilst pregnant, if I was even home on the right nights to DTD to get pregnant. So it's kind of double ended in it's limitations. It wouldn't start for another 4-6 months either so they'd probably be pissed if I fell in that time. I don't know if I should even mention my intentions, say no, or say yes 😂. I'm booking a psychic reading as silly as that sounds to see if it gives me any direction. 😬

@bringmearainbow IVF would possibly reduce the chances of another chromosome issue, however the consultant just said that when they PGTA test, they test 5/150 cells or so. So sometimes they detect abnormal cells in that sample but that it could potentially be a viable embryo, vice versa, they could show as normal and the 145 remaining cells contain abnormalities. So chances are reduced but it's not infallible xx

FfoxRedN · 14/02/2023 20:23

Sorry what a ramble!

@LuckyMoonstone I have everything hoping and praying all is well Thursday 😘 xxx

LuckyMoonstone · 14/02/2023 20:37

@FfayeN ah ok I get it, yeah that set up doesn’t sound compatible with ttc does it 😕 it’s so hard to decide which is the right path to go down. I don’t think going for a reading is silly, I’m not super into them but I have had them done a few times before out of interest. And the last reading I had last Feb which was specifically about pregnancy, she said the number 10 was very important. I got pregnant 10 months later! Coincidence haha but I like to think the universe was giving me a sign and it was right. I’m not religious so I feel like I need something to give me hope otherwise I’d just wallow in despair.

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 15/02/2023 07:24

@FfayeN I agree that seeing a psychic is not stupid at all x Based on what you said, I'd probably go with telling work about your intentions and seeing what they say. We all know what a smart lady you are, maybe they could think of something that could tick all the boxes as in get you the promotion but minimise days you spend away and the physical labour. I appreciate it might not be possible depending on the nature of the job. I was surprised when you said it's an active job because I surely thought you were some sort of negotiator etc, could totally see you doing that! 😂
Don't think 'negotiator' is an actual job title but you know what I mean 😂

calimc83 · 15/02/2023 08:12

@MrsJGrealish How are u lovely? Hope u are feeling a bit better x

TheBirdintheCave · 15/02/2023 08:25

@ScrantonDunderMifflin Now I'm picturing @FfoxRedN working with the police as someone who diffuses hostage situations 😂

FfoxRedN · 15/02/2023 08:33

@TheBirdintheCave 🤣🤣🤣 that would be so cool!!!! Nothing that intense or dramatic sadly 😂.

@MrsJGrealish hubby is away now isn't he? Hope you are doing ok 😘 xxx

Indianna2006 · 15/02/2023 09:01

@FfoxRedN ahh that does suck! I think just go with what’s in your gut.

and psychic is very good idea. Someone I knew ttc had got a fertility reading and hers was right. So once we’d been trying 7/8 months I got one done. Just as a laugh really and to see what it said.

And it told me April was an important month and spring. Can be conception or birth. Well I then found I was pregnant in the march with the pregnancy I lost... An I thought oh well she was just a month early. But obv that wasn’t meant to be.

Cos then I got pregnant again in July and have my April spring baby. So she was right all along really 🌸🐣 weird hey.

TheBirdintheCave · 15/02/2023 09:24

Ooh on the topic of psychics... I was sad as I'd just gone through a breakup so my mum suggested I go and see this lady as she'd helped my cousin through a similar situation. So I said ok.

The first thing she said to me was 'Who's "husbands name"?' I said that I didn't know anyone close with that name, just my hairdresser and she said 'No that's not it.' I asked if I'd get back together with my ex and she said 'No, sorry, but there is someone new coming very soon whether you like it or not.' I scoffed at that but two weeks later I met my husband 😮

She also said Australia would be important to me and our first flat together was on Adelaide Road. The last prediction was that I'd definitely have a daughter and I'm still waiting on that one 😂

MrsJGrealish · 15/02/2023 10:32

@FfoxRedN I work with a psychic. She wouldn't make her probation period. I wonder if she knows.
I'm ok idiot DH lost his phone abroad 🙄

MrsJGrealish · 15/02/2023 10:33

@*wont. She actually walks round dead people and I can't be coping with that

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 15/02/2023 10:36

@TheBirdintheCave I can see it too 😂

I am a sucker for things like psychic readings, etc 😂 I had a reading some time ago when making a very important decision, just before TTC and while I didn't ask directly about TTC, she said that if we delay it, we would have struggles (we were planning to TTC literally super soon but the whole point of the reading was to do with that big decision re moving so if wasn't about family planning, I sometimes look back and think of that comment but not in a bad way).

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 15/02/2023 10:38

@MrsJGrealish you got to tell us more 😳 as in, she says she sees dead people?

TheBirdintheCave · 15/02/2023 10:51

I feel so dizzy and weak today, I felt alright yesterday so wasn't expecting this now that the bleeding has stopped. Very annoying.

bringmearainbow · 15/02/2023 10:52

I love a psychic I was actually thinking of going again as it's been about 7 years since I last went 🔮

Had literally no blood yesterday so I presumed AF finished we dtd last night and this morning I woke up to a big spout of blood 🙄fml it does only seem to be when I wipe but still I actually hate my body right now it feels so up and down. Doesnt help I'm grumpy AF today between my child and the dog I wonder if I'm ever going to get a full night sleep again 🤦🏼‍♀️
