TTC & Pregnancy

[CatiaR]

Hi ladies,

the other thread is full now!

I will try and add everyone back in but please check if I’ve missed anyone.

@Ncl31 really hope that this is a sticky bean 🥰

@Huriya hiya lovely! 20 weeks already! Time goes fast and a baby boy how exciting. Thank you only 5 and half weeks now so still feels unreal!

@Hotmalibu94 , @Hollie1802 , @etaketak1991 , @ginny93 hopefully you ladies are all doing well?

@Roseberry22, @EK37 , @Myna13 , @NLmum4 @thejollytrolleydolly good luck for this cycle!

@Ncl31 oh no, I'm sorry! A 15 day luteal phase and ovulation on CD15 is great news though. Has AF arrived in time so you can enjoy your holiday?

@Ncl31 sorry to hear it, but like you said it's still a win! Hopefully that means the drug doses were right first time! Fingers crossed for this cycle x

@etaketak1991 half way through the holiday now. So can fully enjoy the cocktails now!!

@Ncl31 ah! Best of luck next cycle, it was certainly a much better cycle compared to what you had before

100% much better. Onwards onto the next cycle. The fertility centre were happy with my ovulation time so have to take the next lot of drugs from tomorrow.

Hi ladies I'm 3 days late is this a positive I'm confused this is my fist time testing

@Ncl31 enjoy the cocktails and sun, much better weather than miserable England at the moment! at least you know the medication has worked this cycle ❤️

@selinajaay i can see a very faint line, maybe take a FRER if you have one or wait a couple of days and test again

@Ncl31 have a fab holiday ❤️ hope you have a lovely time!

@selinajaay I can't see a line on either of those, sorry. Id also expect if you're 3 days late it should be fairly visible. Fingers crossed I'm wrong! Best of luck

@selinajaay I can see a line on both, but I think they might be evaps, especially the bottom one. Like hotmalibu said, you'd expect a strong line at 3 days late. Best of luck ❤️

Hey all, how are we doing? I had my 20 week scan today and our little girl seems to be growing as expected 🥰 It was such a lovely long scan too! Hope you all are keeping well ☺️

Awww @etaketak1991 lovely to hear! So glad it was all ok!
I'm 27 weeks today 😊 little girl is kicking away most of the time, she's a little wild child!
My pelvis feels like it's falling apart, but other than that I'm doing well 😁
How have you been?

@Hotmalibu94 Almost 3rd trimester, how exciting ☺️ I had terrible PGP for the first few weeks of 3rd trimester last time but it did ease up. Hope yours gets better soon, have you got a support belt to wear? ❤️
I'm doing okay! Just plodding (ever more literally) along haha. I've got lots of growth scans coming up once I hit 3rd trimester so that's something to look forward to.

@etaketak1991 I'm hoping itll calm down 😅 wasn't sure if that was a thing or if it would just get worse! I do have one, but wearing it on Monday made my skin so itchy when I took it off (like when you take your bra off at the end of the day 😅) and so I then scratched and made the skin sore. So today I didn't wear it to try and let the skin settle.
Oh that'll be nice! I've currently just got another scan for 32 weeks but the midwife will start measuring me from next week so we'll see if there's any growth scans. I feel (and get told regularly) that I'm huge so maybe 😂

@etaketak1991 ah that’s great! Any believe how quick time is flying for you all…. Although I’m sure you might not feel the same.
im on CD6 today, hoping ill have a more regular cycle again with the meds. I spoke to the research nurse today and she was really happy with the length of my last cycle so fingers crossed it does some good and a swimmer catches the egg soon.

how exciting @etaketak1991 ! Glad your little girl is doing well 😊

we got our 20 week scan next Monday so can’t wait for that! I’ve been feeling little taps for a couple of weeks now as well which is nice 😊

@Hotmalibu94 27 weeks! Time is flying. Hopefully you’ll get some help with your pain. It’s not been too bad so far but definitely starting to ache a lot, back and hips not what it used to be lol 😂

@Ncl31 it was a very good cycle length, so you’ll be in your fertile week very soon again! Fingers crossed for you this cycle 🤞

@etaketak1991 how exciting!!

10 weeks now which has flown by! Got my first midwife appointment next week and then my 12 week scan the following week!

started to get a bit anxious now about the 12 week scan, just hoping and praying they are ok in there! Wish I could have a little window on my stomach I could open every now and then to check they’re okay 😂😂

@EK37 10 weeks! Woop woop 🙌

how you feeling? Exciting that your appointment is just around the corner. I remember it dragging forever for me as I had my midwife appointment at 8 weeks and then my scan at 13+4! After that it has flown by and nearly 19 weeks and got my scan on Monday!

we always feel a little nervous don’t we? Hoping that all is ok, the only good thing is that I’ve had nothing that should indicate otherwise and feeling little taps which is lovely 🥰 can’t wait for a proper kick and for my hubby to be able to feel baby and maybe let the pup know there’s a baby in there cause she got no clue bless her 😂 crazy as always

@CatiaR i am feeling good thank you! Weeks 8-9 were a little bit rough but I’ve started to feel a bit better now I’m 10 weeks in and nearing the end of the first trimester!

I know, I keep telling myself that I have had no signs of it not being okay and my first scan showed a healthy baby with a healthy heartbeat so the odds are in my favour that they’re okay but you can’t help but worry!

must be soo nice being able to feel them I really can’t wait for that to start!!!

@EK37 yup I feel you! Especially as my BIL and girlfriend that are currently crashing with us just sadly had a miscarriage at 9 weeks it hit closer to home although I’m pretty much 19 weeks now and all is looking good.

yeah it’s not very consistent at the moment but I can certainly tell now it’s movement rather than questioning whether it was my tummy rumbling or gas lol 😂 it’s lovely but I bet it won’t be so nice when baby gives me a very hard kick later on but we gotta enjoy the moment 🥰

it’s so much harder to sleep these days with round ligament pain, needing to pee 24/7 and lots of cramps! 🤣

Hey everyone, it's been ages!
@Ncl31 any update?
@EK37 how are you, you must be around 12 weeks now? Have you had your scan yet?
@CatiaR @etaketak1991 @Hollie18 how are you guys getting on?

I'm coming up to 30 weeks 😱 absolutely mad!
Still have bad pelvic pain, so I have a physio appointment at the end of April. My 28 week blood test showed I was borderline anaemic so I'm now on tablets for that (low is 105 and my level was 106 🥲). Baby girl is quite the little mover and shaker ❤️ she's had hiccups this morning which is just adorable. She's kicked the Doppler the last two appointments when the midwife has been trying to listen to her heart beat 😂
Nursery is coming along. We have the cot, the changing unit and a wardrobe is coming today and then it's just getting it all decorated!
My family threw me a baby shower last week and it was just so lovely, we've been incredibly spoilt 🥰

I’m currently 8DPO - just watching and waiting.
Ive had no symptoms really; apart from being starving and had a couple of weird dreams but that could just be because I’m tired.

@Ncl31 fingers crossed for you! Was ovulation at a more normal time this month again?

CD15 again this month, fingers crossed. Trying not to test until Tuesday at the earliest.

@Hotmalibu94 ahh how lovely!! Not long left now 🥰

yes 12 weeks 5 days now! Had our scan yesterday! Everything is looking lovely they were being quite naughty though and didn’t want any pictures taken so it was a struggle!! But they cooperated in the end and we got some lovely shots! They look happy and healthy which is all we can ask for! Feels so real now seeing them!!

@Ncl31 amazing news! Let us know how it goes when you do test. Got my fingers crossed for you!

@EK37 oh amazing 😊 so glad it all went well! And glad you got some good pictures 😁
