TTC after ectopic/after loss/older age etc ALL WELCOME 🙂

[YellowZ]

Hello,

Would anyone like to join a thread for TTC after ectopic/miscarriage, or when facing other challenges eg age, PCOS etc? DP and I have just decided to try again for no2, and I'm going to come off the pill. It would be nice to have some buddies to share experiences and support each other 🙂

About me:

Pregnancy 1: conceived first cycle age 35, healthy pregnancy, DS born summer 2021 (now age 2)

Pregnancy 2: conceived first cycle age 37, ectopic, surgery November 2022

My plan is to eat well, exercise, cut out alcohol, and generally look after myself.

Because I got pregnant quickly both times, I'm hoping our chances are still good...no idea how only having the one fallopian tube is going to affect things 😬

I think I'll do OPKs but not sure about temping yet.

Would love to hear from others!

@YellowZ Eeeeek looks really promising! 🤩 how exciting!

Thank you. Really hoping it's a good egg this time round 🤞🏼

Should be a pretty good line tomorrow morning 😁

Yay! Congrats @YellowZ!!

Ah congrats @YellowZ ! 😊

I'm around 7+4 although scan put me a week earlier. But I think I ovulated a bit late and I know measurements can be tricky at this stage so hopefully all ok. They didn't seem worried 🤞🏻

@YellowZ Congrats I think you have catched it this time round. Fingers crossed 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks @SnookyPook and @Annonomous29 trying to be relaxed atm and take it a day at a time.

@MrsB2019x how did you get on this morning with testing? My line looks the same as yesterday's. I tend to get darker tests in the afternoon though.

@YellowZ Thanks for checking in! Have attached today’s 😆 I can’t quite believe it as it took 5 months for our ectopic and 5 months with our daughter so this seems too good to be true…! I’m currently pacing the bathroom wondering whether to tell DH now or whether to do another test in the morning where hopefully it will be stronger.
Definitely do another test this afternoon and keep us updated! I’m so excited for you

@MrsB2019x brilliant!! Aww congratulations. I'm reassured by the early BFPs too, given I only got faint lines a week after my period with the ectopic. I'm hoping it's a good sign? For both of us.

I told DP yesterday. But he knows that it's still v much a wait and see situation at this point.

If it's still looking good in a week or so, I think I'll join a September baby group on the pregnancy board (see, not getting carried away at all).

@MrsB2019x @YellowZ so lovely to see these bfp updates, everything crossed for safe journeys for you both!! Gives us hope for 2024! x

Aww how did DP react @YellowZ? Mine got excited then had a bit of a reality check and is also taking a wait and see approach.

@YellowZ @MrsB2019x so lovely guys! 🥰 My Sister had a Christmas Eve BFP a couple of years ago and my little nephew is now a little 1 1/2 yr old chonk of cuteness 🥰 Everything crossed for you guys!

Thanks @SnookyPook and @Bumblesbee84

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas!

@MrsB2019x I decided to wait until tomorrow to test again and hopefully see a more significant change than I would today x

Congratulations @YellowZ and @MrsB2019x that's brilliant news ♥️

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and thank you for all the support this year xx

@YellowZ Fair enough, update when you can ☺️ I bought a digital today to try tomorrow. Not sure if it’ll show up but I don’t think my DH quite believes it yet 😂

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas tomorrow! Xx

@MrsB2019x BF congratulations 🥳 got my fingers and toes crossed for you,….

First one up so had time to do my digi this morning… think it has sunk in a little now 🥰

Merry Christmas everyone! x

@MrsB2019x merry bloody Christmas!!! What a way to start xx massive congratulations.

@MrsB2019x wooooooooo congratulations!! Love the photo.

Line a bit darker here this morning too. 11dpo now x

Amazing @YellowZ 😍 massive congratulations!

Aw massive congratulations guys! What a lovely way to start Christmas! Hope everyone had a lovely day 🥰

Aw thanks @SnookyPook hope you're having a lovely Christmas too.

Tests looking good here so far 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@YellowZ perfect early line progression. Wishing you so much luck with this in the new year!

Looking good @YellowZ 😍 have you calculated your due date yet?

Here’s my line progression, 11dpo at the top then 12dpo and 13dpo… think it’s doing okay? 🤞

@MrsB2019x yes definitely an obvious difference between the 1st test and the 3rd test in those photos ☺️it looks very pink now? Are you 13dpo?

Umm well naturally 😳I have. 7th September. How about you?

Thanks @Bumblesbee84 how are you getting on? X
