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!

@Roseberry22 good to hear from you! Sorry to hear you're having to undergo fertility treatments but hopefully it's one step closer to meeting your little one ❤️

@Ncl31 I'm so sorry ❤️ it must be so hard. Thinking of you and hoping you get your bfp soon x

@Hotmalibu94 oh congratulations 🩷🩷 so happy for you, fingers crossed all is well and you can go home soon!

Little lady's heart is perfect, her umbilical cord is fine and she's eating better today! She latched on me well this morning but struggled since then so we have given a bottle this afternoon and she took that really well!

We are home and safe and sound 😊

@Hotmalibu94 aww glad to hear all is well 🥰

Aww I’m so pleased everything is well. Enjoy your precious moments together.

@Hotmalibu94 Aw what a beautiful name 😊 I'm so glad she's all ok and you are back home now!

I am still waiting, my midwife messaged me yesterday as I am 41 weeks today and offered an induction this morning - I deliberated for ages and then declined it, but now wondering if that was the right thing! I've heard so many horror stories especially from people in my trust about going in for a booked induction and ending up in hospital for a week or more as they don't have space for you since you will be bumped down the queue as people in natural labour come in (as it should be, but still frustrating to be there for so long) I also would really love the opportunity to go into labour naturally, I almost wish she hadn't messaged to be honest, I was content with the original plan and feeling good about it and now I'm feeling a bit all over the place and quite teary today 😔 I just don't know if I should keep pushing back on inductions as there is actually no medical need for me to have one currently 🤔

@Ncl31 Of course, it must be so tough, I'm so sorry 😔 I have everything crossed for you and can't wait for the day we all get the bfp update from you 😊

@Roseberry22 it's fab to hear from you - I'm sorry you are having to go through that 😔 everything is crossed for you 🤞🏼

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, our trust is overrun with women at the moment. We’re having to do extra caesarean section lists every week because the number has drastically increased since our neighbouring trust got a CQC rating of requires improvement.
i get why people are moving but it’s causing a lot of tension in the system.

hopefully you’re not waiting too much longer

@Hotmalibu94 so happy to hear you’re home!

@Hollie18 fingers crossed your little one isn’t keeping you waiting much longer. They must be so snug in there they’re not quite ready to come out x

My husbands results came back really poor so we’re working on trying to increase morphology and mobility as at the minute it’s looking like we won’t be able to conceive naturally. I wish we’d started all this testing sooner but waiting for the 12 months before going to get tests done.

Hi does the top one look like a dye run - took top one first and line in time frame but the other two I took working an hour of the first one and negative

@NLmum4 the top one looks a bit overrun yeah but I feel like I can see a very faint line on the bottom one could it be a bit too diluted to pick up How many dpo?

fingers crossed for you tho 🤞

@Ncl31 Did you use the same urine sample for all 3? Subsequent tests would be diluted!

Hi all 😊 how is everyone?
@Hollie18 any news? ❤️

We're doing well here 😊 I can't believe my baby is over a week old 😭 absolutely loving life with my little twinnie ❤️ she's such a good baby so far! She's only had one tantrum that we couldn't calm down with milk 😅
I have so many nicknames for her already 😂

@Hotmalibu94 Best tip that was given to me about tantrums - put them in water or put them outside. Honestly has saved my sanity several times 😂 So glad to hear she's been a good bub for you. Are you managing to get much sleep?

36 weeks now! Getting to the point where you're constantly trying to guess if it's early labour or just end of pregnancy 😂 2 weeks left until mat leave 🙌

@Hotmalibu94 aww how lovely to hear you are all doing well, can’t wait till it’s go time 😊

nearly 34 weeks and so uncomfortable these days getting a bit over all the kicking my ribs and bladder and would rather meet them but all good fun 🤣

@etaketak1991 nearly there! I’m currently on a week of AL but don’t finish for Mat leave till 39 weeks ( technically starts day after my due date but having last week as AL) definitely doing a lot of walking around while I can with DH and pupper but can certainly feel the consequences at the end of each day! Felt pretty chuffed I was still able to climb Pen y Fan (not super hard mountain when you’re not pregnant 🤣) with a dog in tow on the way up only and still be in better shape than our male friend lol! But at the end of that day my hips were killing me for sure!

hope your little one comes soon! @Hollie18 hope yours has made an appearance by now 🤣

Hi, everyone. Is this thread open for people to join? I'm just looking for a little community. I'm about to start TTC baby #3 and have no mom friends, not comfortable telling people I know in real life, and my first 2 babies were surprises so I've never really done all the TTC side of things. A little lost 😅

@Camia of course! Welcome aboard!

we have a few people in different stages, some still TTC, some about to pop, some still mid pregnant and some just given birth 😊

good luck starting TTC for this new one, fingers crossed for you!

@CatiaR Thank you! I have an appointment next week to get my implant removed, so we're not even actually trying yet and of course who knows how long it'll take for my cycle to come back after that, because it's never come back after I had my second baby. But I'm both excited and overwhelmed and can't wait to just get started

@etaketak1991 ooh good to know! Thank you 😅yeah sleep is good currently! We tend to do a last feed 10/11pm ish and then wake once 2/3am and then again 6:30ish so I'm actually sleeping probably better than I was when I was pregnant 😂
Still waiting for the other shoe to drop 😂

@CatiaR wow sounds like you're doing well! I wouldn't have managed pen y fan from about 20 weeks onwards, if I managed that long 😂

Hopefully your babies don't keep you waiting long girls!

@Camia welcome! What an exciting time for you 😍 hopefully it doesn't take your cycle too long to get back to normal!

@Hotmalibu94 im so pleased to hear you’re doing well. Sounds like heaven with your little bubs.
@CatiaR @Hollie18 hopefully it went be long until we hear of your wonderful news.

@CatiaR Wow, well done! About 7k steps is enough to do me in at this point 😂

@Camia Hello, welcome! Good luck ttc ❤️ I was super lucky and conceived on first try after having my implant removed, but it took about 6 months on the second time. Hope it's not too long for you 😊

@Hotmalibu94 That's pretty good going, I'd be happy with that! Long may it continue 😂

I finally have my implant out, so we're officially TTC! Since my cycle has never come back after my second baby I've been advised to test in six weeks if I haven't had a period by then, otherwise to start tracking whenever it shows up. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long.

How is everyone doing?

@Camia oooh starting ttc again how exciting! 😊

hope it doesn’t take very long for you guys to catch a little one!!

All good here, needing to pee a million times an hour and little feeties up my ribs 🤣

got another sample sale in work this week so got more clothes for little one, need to catch some decent enough weather to wash them all and finishing packing my hospital bag so at least all is ready to go when it’s go time.

@CatiaR Hopefully you have a chance to get everything ready soon! How far along are you? I'm not quite caught up on who here is at what stage lol

@Camia fingers crossed everything works out for you quickly! How exciting!!

I am doing well thank you, starting to really worry about giving birth now 😩

@Camia 35 weeks now and whilst I’m slowing down my work is certainly not 🤣 and got an assignment due soon as well 🫣
