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!

@EK37 I think I may be able to see something too, those Tesco ones didn't show for me until 12/13dpo so fingers crossed for you!!! 🤞🏼

@etaketak1991 How exciting!! One step closer to scans and bits 😊

@Hotmalibu94 I don't really see anything on me as I was a little chunky before hand but my mum has noticed it and I do think that I can't suck in as far as I used to 😂😂

I have booked a 16 week gender scan for Saturday so fingers crossed we'll know what we are having soon 🤞🏼

@etaketak1991 how exciting, mine is tomorrow but over the phone so might not be as exciting but still can't wait!

@EK37 let us know how you get on!

@Hollie18 ahh how exciting you will find out soon!

@Hollie18 Ah how lovely! Are you going to do the whole surprise balloon thing, or just find out there?

@CatiaR Oh interesting! Mine took weight and blood/urine sample, maybe you'll have it at the next appointment?

I found out that I'm going to be consultant led as I developed pre-eclampsia during labour last time. If everything goes okay, I can still give birth at the birth centre though 🤞 and I get extra growth scans in the third trimester so some good bits to it. The midwife seemed to think I was at the very bottom of high risk, so fingers crossed everything goes okay ☺️

Well I caved and did a FRER and it’s negative so I think I am probably out!! Although I know they say you’re not out until AF but I’m now not too hopeful 😂

@etaketak1991 I think we are just going to find out there, I quite wanted to get a cannon thing and do it just the two of us at home as i felt it would be a bit more special than finding out there but my partner wasn't sold on the idea haha!

@EK37 oh no 😔 I'm sorry, of course you are never truly out until AF but I completely get how you are feeling, I would definitely be the same!!

@Hollie18 We just found out there last time and it was really lovely and special anyway ❤️

@EK37 Oh no, I'm sorry! It's awful when you think one test shows something and another test doesn't.

@EK37 oh no I’m sorry, I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes the wait for AF feels agonisingly long, especially when you’re just waiting for it after a negative test.
i’d definitely test again on Saturday though.

I’ve just had my consultant appointment for the ovulation induction trial, he’s happy for me to go ahead so now I just need to wait until the nurse gets in touch with me on how and when to collect my prescription and when to start taking stuff. I already know it’s day 1 of your period so I’m hoping I’ll have everything before I get my first period after the miscarriage.

Yeah I am just going to wait for AF now and hope it doesn’t come but it probably will, onto month 5 😔

@Ncl31 oh that’s amazing news!

Another day and no period yet 🤞 my temp jumped today from 36.77 to 36.86 at 12dpo, no idea if that is a good thing or not!!

@EK37 still in! 🤞 Remember you can implant up to 12dpo so you might have implanted later. When are you thinking of testing again? Xx

@CatiaR @etaketak1991 @Hollie18 it's so funny how all our bodies are different in pregnancy isn't it! I think there's deffo something there, it's just not necessarily obvious to people except me I guess 😂
Midwife appointment was lovely! We heard baby's heartbeat which i wasn't sure would happen! My friend under a different NHS trust didn't get an offer to listen to the heartbeat until 24 weeks so I feel very lucky 🥰 DH looked absolutely in love!
And after a stressful first week back at work I'm now off for my birthday next week, the big 3-0! 😂

@EK37 That chart is looking great, but don't want to get your hopes up. What's your usual temp pattern? My temp staying up at 11dpo was a big sign for me!

@Hotmalibu94 Aw how lovely that your DH could be there! I had to record the audio for mine haha, I'll have to do the same this time too as doubt work'll give him paid time off. Hope your 30th celebrations go well! 🎉

I ended up getting my scan date through a few hours after my booking appointment, via the patient portal online! 24th Jan 🥰 Can't wait!

@etaketak1991 @Hotmalibu94 it can sometimes be this high but it doesn’t usually start to creep up at this time it either stays the same or starts to dip! I have attached last months graph you can see it was up and down but always around the same mark this one seems to have creeped up!

you never know though the body does strange things 😂 if I am due tomorrow it would usually dip today though but I could still come on Sunday! I might test either Sunday or Monday!

@etaketak1991 to be honest I wish I had recorded it anyway! It would be lovely to have just to listen to 🥰
She did say there was a wooshing noise which was my placenta so it might be on the front. Will have to wait and see I guess at the next scan!

Amazing that you have your scan date! So exciting!!!

@EK37 well keep us updated! 😁 Looks good, I see what you mean compared to last month's!

@Hotmalibu94 how exciting, can't wait for my scan but dunno when it is yet, todays call was only 10 mins and the midwife is coming to my house for the rest of the appointment next wednesday morning! Got my badgernotes running but that's it, not as exciting as expected but again not sure what to expect.

@etaketak1991 oooh that will come around very soon!

@CatiaR oh interesting that they come to your house! I hope you get the scan date soon, will be so exciting to be able to tell your family 😁

I just started a nub theory thread and 3/3 guesses for boy so far 😂 can't wait to see what we have on our hands!

@Hotmalibu94 it is interesting indeed, not sure what to think, but she did say I'd probably have a scan at 12 weeks so probably early Feb since I'm only 8 weeks so far :)

ooh I best go have a nosey 😄

@EK37 that defo looks promising, fingers crossed for you.
I was 13DPO when I got my faint line, then 14dpo I got my digital result

@Ncl31 thank you! Not going to get my hopes up just yet, going to see what happens to it tomorrow, fully expecting it to drop! Hope you are doing well ❤️

@EK37 I’m doing better than I thought. Just trying to keep looking forwards and thinking “I’ve got pregnant before so can do it again”

@Ncl31 ah I glad! Yes exactly, you have got this 💪🏻❤️

Morning! Temp is 36.80 now at 13dpo!!! My Flo app and natural cycles said I am due today but it could also be tomorrow! I don’t want to get excited but this is still quite high for me!! 😅

@EK37 ahhhh still super high then! When are you going to test again?

@EK37 that's looks good.
I'm 9dpo and temp seems all over place and had cramping in lower back yesterday and day before so pondering if early AF
