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!

@Hotmalibu94 everything was great. Measuring exactly right. I just get waves of anxiety that it’s not okay.
2 weeks until my 12 week scan

I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right yesterday.
unfortunately I was right. I went to EPU for a scan and little one didn’t have a heartbeat.
I’m utterly broken and currently just struggling to stay a float.
Going in for surgery tomorrow and they’re going to test for genetics as this is now a recurrent miscarriage

@Ncl31 I am so so sorry 😔 I'm so heartbroken for you. I hope you get answers.
Thinking of you.

@Ncl31 That's heartbreaking, I'm so sorry. Sending all our love x

Hi everyone,
Just checking into see how everyone is?
As it has been a while since I’ve been on here😊
Is anyone still trying?

I forgot to say I think I have got a BFP, here is a picture of it above, but the line is very faint, you can’t really see it on the picture, so I am going to test again in a couple of days, and I’ll keep you updated.

@JM1997 No I definitely see a shadow of a line on that! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

@etaketak1991 keeping everything crossed, still no period 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fingers crossed for you.
Ive found myself back here after a MMC at 11+5.
had a surgical management last week.
really struggling today as its the first day my husband is back to work so the first day I’ve been by myself.
had lots of tears in between trying to keep busy doing some general tidying up.
one of my friends called in to see me too which was a nice surprise.
i think we’ve decided to try again pretty much straight away, although hubby is away for a week from next Tuesday so we will likely miss this cycle, which is absolutely fine by me. It forces me to have a cycle where we can just relax.

@JM1997 Im still trying much for my sins 😂 a lot more knowledgable about our issues now 2 years into TTC and will hopefully be starting our IVF cycle in a few months.

Fingers crossed for you the line gets darker!

@Ncl31 I’m so sorry to hear this, sending you a huge hug. Make sure you take time for yourself, I can’t even imagine how hard it must be! x

Thank you, I think this time alone will be good for me. I’m allowing myself to cry as hard as I need to without a thought of anyone else.
Whenever I get upset when hubby is home he then gets upset seeing me in such a state, so I think feel bad for upsetting him. At least I know he cares. But this way I can let it all out without worrying.
he’s told me to book in to get my hair done while I’m off work so I have a consultation tomorrow to see about getting my hair coloured and having my extensions back in.
im also going to get back into my body combat classes which I was loving before I found out I was pregnant, hopefully getting myself back into some sort of routine will help me.
im off work for another 2 weeks but due back on Mother’s Day, im going to ask my GP to extend it beyond that and try to get back to work then

@Ncl31 thank you,keeping everything crossed. I am so sorry to hear about your situation, sending lots of hugs, and we are all here if you need anything.
@Roseberry22 sending you lots of luck that it happens for you soon. I hate this whole waiting game 🤞🏻

Random question did anyone have period pains but no period when they conceived at the start? Cause I feel like I’ve period pains coming and going, but then no period yet, fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Just trying to work out what is normal x

Yes, they’re usually implantation cramps

@Ncl31 aaah okay, thank you for sharing this with me. It is so strange because it feels like a period pain, and with it being when I should be on it is strange. 🤞🏻
How are you feeling? What colour are you going to go for with your hair?

my natural hair colour is really dark blonde. Over the winder I had low lights and some red put in.
But I’m really missing being lighter, so I’m going to go abit lighter again but not as blonde as I used to be as it was ruining my hair.

it does feel weird, I expected to see blood every time I went to the toilet.

That sounds lovely, I had my hair highlighted last year and loved the colour, I always think when you have your hair done the world feels better ❤️
Self care is so important, so make sure you get that hair appointment booked in, you deserve it!

It is very strange, I keep going to the loo thinking surely I am about to bleed now!

Hi everyone, it’s been a while! How are you all getting on?

Hey @Hollie18 ! We're all good here. I'm back to work next week 😭 and less than 1 month until I have a 1 year old. Just bonkers 🥲

How are you?

@Hotmalibu94Aw I’m glad to hear everything is good! Ah I’m on the return to work countdown too, how are you feeling about it?

omg, me too, I have just over a month, I can’t believe it and if I’m honest cry every time I think about it 😂 I need to get a grip before it happens!

@Hollie18 I've been back to work since the beginning of April! It was tough at first but we've found our new groove now. I hated the idea beforehand though.

Hel is doing well 😊 Still toothless at almost 10 months but hey 😂 She's confidently cruising and we've just survived her first sick bug, so busy times over here!

Hope everyone is doing well ❤️❤️

Hey ladies! Hope you and your little ones are all ok, its crazy to think some of them are coming up to 1!!

We’ve just had our consultation at the assisted conception unit and all being well we’ll start our IVF journey next week, I’m really hoping 2025 is going to be our year for our first ever BFP! It’s felt such a long journey to get to here but I’m sure it’ll be totally worth it

Hi @Roseberry22
PS this is Myna13. I've just changed my username to be a bit more anonymous.. haha!
Thanks for reviving this thread. Keeping my fingers crossed you get your BFP sooner rather than later. Sending lots of love your way.
After a long time of trying, and a few more chemicals, we finally got our BFP on Monday. I'm a mix of thrilled and super anxious. But so far, I feel different and my tests were super dark so really hoping I can carry this one to term.

@Hollie18 @Hotmalibu94 @etaketak1991 hi everyone! Glad to hear off everyone!
Amelia is 10 months next week also cruising and wanting to stand with no hand support already! It took her ages but she’s got 2 bottom teeth and been about a month of her sleeping in her room and for the most part through the night too! Apart from recently which I think everything is happening at once and her sleeping is messed up but hey can’t complain too much not co sleeping anymore nor waking up every hour! I’m not back at work till September but been doing KIT days every week so it’s nice to get my feet back in it especially as it’s a brand new role as I got promoted whilst I was off so lots to do!

@Roseberry22 fingers crossed for you lovely 🤞

@MM013 congratulations! Fingers crossed 🤞 and all the baby dust to you and a smooth 9 months

Amelia has a baby cousin now too a week and half old little girl and visiting them at the hospital made me broody for another one lol 😂 but not anytime soon

@etaketak1991Aw bless her, toothless 😂 oh gosh we had a sickness bug a couple of months ago and George ended up in hospital (due to him having a single kidney we have to be careful with dehydration!) and then my partner got it and it was pure chaos! 🤣 somehow I managed to avoid it, I made a bleach barrier around myself in the end haha

@Roseberry22Good luck, everything is crossed for this to be your year! 🤞🏼

@MM013Congratulations, wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@CatiaRaw she sounds like she’s doing brilliantly! At least you get to have newborn cuddles without committing yourself haha, a second has crossed my mind but definitely not yet!
