Preparing and TTC in 2022 part 8 💐

[LucyLoopyLu]

Hi everyone
I think our previous thread is full? I can't find a new one anyone has started but sorry if I've missed it. I'll tag some of us below but please add anyone I've missed

@LucyLoopyLu Congratulations! That's such wonderful news, hope you're feeling well ❤️

I've lost nearly 2 stone and am taking my supplements religiously, which has helped a lot to reduce the lengths of my cycles- they're hovering around the 30 day mark now. I'm currently 2DPO and feeling impatient.

I managed to catch my surge this month, and we BD'd on O-2 and O-1, both with Preseed- we didn't bother on actual O day because we were both tired. I just wish I knew if it had worked, my due date from the pregnancy I miscarried in November is coming up on 6th June and it would be lovely to know we have another chance.

Right now I'm counting down to next Wednesday, which is 9DPO. Every time that I've gotten pregnant, I've felt pinchy pains on 9DPO which I've always assumed was implantation. Only another week to go!

Hope everyone is well xx

@HeathenPlayingHouse The waiting is so hard isn't it? Hope you can find nice ways to distract yourself.

Amazing on losing the weight, well done! It's so hard to do. And it's great that you're seeing an impact on your cycle length, that's very positive.

Fingers crossed for you x

@DesertSnow Thank you ❤️

Thankfully the days are passing nicely, I'm just trying not to pin my hopes on feeling a few twinges!

9DPO today and I've been having the pinchy burrowing-type pains, but I'm trying not to put too much stock into them.

It would not be unheard of for my brain to be a bit of a dick and conjure up symptoms that mean nothing. So I'll just be waiting instead- if I have calculated right, then AF would be due on Sunday/Monday.

Hope everyone is doing well ❤️

@HeathenPlayingHouse will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

I'm 11 weeks today. Starting to feel very nervous about 12 week scan - it's booked for 17th. Still feeling pretty rubbish. I could just sleep all day!

@LucyLoopyLu Thank you ❤️

The 17th? Ahhh, you must be counting down the days, so exciting!

@HeathenPlayingHouse fingers crossed for you your doing well not testing you have more will power than I would have

@LucyLoopyLu that's exciting not long to go I love the 12 week scan they look so much like actual babies the bigger they get its harder to see.
hope you start feeling better soon

Thank you @krissy12, sorry for the late reply!

13DPO and I have an update for you ladies- seems like we have a rainbow on the way ❤️

@HeathenPlayingHouse congratulations! How exciting. How do you feel?

@LucyLoopyLu Thank you ❤️

I'm mostly just very tired right now. I'm feeling anxious as well, plus guilty because DS has been testing my patience this weekend.

I'm just hoping the next 9 weeks flies by!

@HeathenPlayingHouse I know the feeling of wishing the time away, I have been doing the same! Hang in there 💓

Really pleased for you and hoping this is your rainbow baby. You've just had the patience of a saint through all this time trying x X x

@HeathenPlayingHouse congratulations 🥰 wishing you all the luck in the world ☺️

@HeathenPlayingHouse massive congratulations ❤️

@Houseelf90 @krissy12 Thank you both ❤️

@LucyLoopyLu I'm just counting down to 6 weeks now- that's the point I can call the EPAU and get progesterone supplements and hopefully an early scan.

We've agreed to keep the news to ourselves for a while, so I'm hoping if an early scan shows things on track, I can at least tell my sister. She's organising my hen do for September, so it'd be good to give her a heads up 😂

@HeathenPlayingHouse you will definitely get a scan to get the progesterone they need to confirm pregnancy is in the right place before prescribing

also they normally only prescribe progesterone if your having bleeding so maybe tell them you've has spotting when you phone up

@krissy12 That's actually what the nurse told me to do 😂

She said that since I'd had 2 losses (CP and then the MMC) they'd give me the progesterone, but just make sure to say on the phone that I'd had spotting so they'd fit me in.

Only 2 more weeks to go!

Hahaha yeah I think the guidelines are strict for it but I actually got it no problem I had one mmc and they told me about progesterone and to phone up asap if i got pregnant again and had any bleeding. when it happened I phoned up they got me in the next day for a scan they could literally only see a sac and dated me at 5 weeks but because it wasn't ectopic they gave me a prescription.

Amazing news, congratulations @HeathenPlayingHouse!

Good luck tomorrow @LucyLoopyLu, will be thinking of you. Let us know how you get on x

@DesertSnow thank you! I'm so nervous now. Really hope everything is ok on the scan, and the prenatal testing. Just a bit longer to wait

Thank you @DesertSnow ❤️

Good luck for tomorrow @LucyLoopyLu! Xx

Good luck @LucyLoopyLu fingers crossed it all goes well

Good Luck @LucyLoopyLu x

Thanks everyone! Everything on the scan looked good. Lots of wriggling which made it difficult for the sonographer but it was quite nice to see for us. The measurements put me at 27th Dec rather than 25th but I'm not too concerned about 2 days difference in size.
Just need to wait for the risk level on the screening now which hopefully will come back ok x

congratulations @LucyLoopyLu that's great news
I'm sure your screening will come back ok
