TTC February 2024 ✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in February 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Jan to Feb! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

@Racket81 that's is very scan to scan, when I was scanned at 7week 3 days midwife had me all warned mightnt see anything might have to do a transvaginal ultrasound but thankfully she didn't...but its so early at 4 or 5 weeks...dr wanted me to go at 6 weeks and I said to him what's the point as so early so hold on tight.....fingers crossed for you....

Thanks for checking in, girls. My tests are looking promising. I'm 14 DPO today and officially two days late. Thus far, I can at least conclude it doesn't look like my chemical, so that's something.

So pleased you got some good news @RW269 When's your due date?

@Racket81 I'm really sorry you're in that terrible limbo. I know it so well from when I had my MMC. However, I've just done some maths (not my strong point, so please feel free to correct me!) and I think your ovulation dates can explain why you're potentially a bit behind where they expect you to be?

If you've ovulated CD17/18, that would be 25th/26th December, right? So you'd technically be 18DPO today, I'm only 4 days behind you and there's absolutely no way they'd see anything yet if they scanned me! What's your estimated due date?

LMP of 09/12 puts you at 4 weeks 6 days if ovulating on the average day 14, but wouldn't you be 4ish days behind that with an ovulation day of 17/18? It sounds about right to me.

I have a scan booked for 7 weeks, so 3rd Feb. Just have to sit around and wait until then. It's cruel, but I'm so used to it now, I've completely detached from the possibilities.

@KittyFantastica oh goodness! That is positive news, I have so so so much crossed for you! February 3rd will be here before you know it. Try and get as much rest as possible between now and then! 🩷🤞

my due dates August 31st :)

xx

@KittyFantastica wow that's a fair positive pregnancy test...fingers crossed for 3rd Feb...
Try stay positive...don't think ahead that also means no negative thoughts allowed....just get through each day...drink lots water and rest...
Really hoping for yee all....

Thank you, that's great advice and I'll take it 😆 @RW269 What a lovely due date! We're less than a month a part; I've just joined the September MN group and WhatsApp - worth a join if you think you might go over your due date 😉

Thanks ladies and that's good news@KittyFantastica fingers crossed for you..yes I wondered if im 3 or 4 days out. I'm.just.goimg by the flo app however I don't.know exactly when I ovulated so will have to wait and see. No more bloods booked. Nothing now until another scan on Thurs 23rd which should be 6 plus 4 or if I'm.out 3 or 4 days .ore like 6 weeks. We will see. I feel fine no bleeding at all and sore expanding boobs. I'm a 34gg anyway without being pregnant so I feel like booberella.

@Racket81 ooo I hope the 23rd rolls around soon for you! Quite nice that you can say it’s ‘next week’ ! how are you doing with it ?

@KittyFantastica how are you getting along? Been thinking about you the last couple days! 🤞

@ButterflySkies how are you and baby doing? :)

@Noisinmaro how are things plodding along for you? :) have you gotten any further with names?

I’ve swiftly entered an all day 24/7 nausea stage 😂 8 weeks tomorrow 🤞 counting down to 9 week scan on the 26th !

sending you all love 🩷✨

Thinking of yee all, seems all good.so.far for yee all...take it day by day...best luck for scan days...@RW269 @Racket81 @KittyFantastica
I am almost 25 weeks...had scan on Minday back again on the 28th Jan for glucose and meeting dr...
I've met same consultant each visit so grateful for that...I am paying alot for it but so far being all good...
Still stuck on names..Victoria is a favourite with hubby and I don't like the shortened versions...
Anyways jeep me posted...I was a nervous 7 weeks once clinging on to all hope, now I'm 25 weeks, so yee will be in my shoes before yee.know it...

Oh lovely news to see!! @KittyFantastica @Racket81 got everything crossed for both of you!

How are you all feeling?? Agree on the water, ice lollies if not the fruit - mango was my staple through HG and ice lollies, and lots of them!

@RW269 so pleased the scan was good lovely!! When's your next one?

Me and baby Olaf are all good, reflux is settling now he's on the right meds and he'll be 4 months 1 Feb, cant believe it! Given up breastfeeding him - it wasnt working with the reflux or having another little person - and he is thriving now, come off the smallest centile to almost the 9th. Absolutely no interest in moving but we - well his sister - got our first giggle today :) please keep me posted and hope the update on Olaf is ok to share, you ladies were my rock I'm so invested in your journeys! Xx

@Noisinmaro i cant believe you're 25 weeks!! Amazing! X

Yes 25 weeks...@Butterflyskies
That's it these ladies will be me soon with the help of god...fingers crossed...
nurse said to me yesterday in my clinic its hard to believe I was like I know sure who are you telling....
It's a very hard time but a lovely timl.o.and i thought my mind wouldnt settle i was very anxious worried nearly upset think7ng further than the present but i feel alot more reassured than I did, also very grateful, don't take a second for granted hoping to godall keep going well..
i think im a walking miracle....cause i didnt always believe it would actually happen....
I'm so so delighted we have 3 more positives on this thread.....

@Noisinmaro wow 25 weeks that has soon came round! Hope your glucose test goes okay! Have you ever done one before? Ahh Victoria is a lovely name as a full name!

@ButterflySkies Awwh it’s lovely to hear a baby Olaf update! So good he’s settling with reflux! My niece took about 6 months to get it under control it’s such a precise thing! Glad you and Olaf are doing well and i bet your daughter was thrilled to get the first little giggle from him! 😍

@Noisinmaro oh love!!
Please do try and enjoy it though lovely, especially that 25 week bit (normally the best bit from around then til the end!). I've been reflecting on my pregnancy a little bit recently and between the bleeding, HG and complications in the third trimester, I didnt get much space to enjoy being pregnant and I feel really sad about that. So try and lean into it, as hard as it is. take lots of bump pics and enjoy the kicks! X

@r

@RW269 she is so thrilled! They are finally totally smitten, phew! Reflux is such a headache... your poor niece too. How's your nausea lovely? Sleep, sleep and sleep some more, really hoping it passes quickly for you! X

@Butterflyskies yeah had a few weeks there approaching weeks 20 and for weeks after where I felt great the sickness disappeared...still had it at 16 weeks...but maybe was after that started to feel better..was nit needing naps or wasn't needing too go to bed early...
Tiredness kinda creeping back in now though...
Seem to be needing a nap after work every day now....
I still take carabin sickness tablets daily...
Don't be too hard on yourself...sure bleeding is an awful worry no joy there.....I was very sick got sick 5 times a days and got sick 4 or 5 times in every bout of sickness everything came up my weight didn't go up that my con from it...I still wearing my normal clothes?
Pregnancy isn't easy for some people ... but you're so grateful that you don't mind being sick and wrecked out etc etc
People tell me I'm glowing my skin looks great sure I vomit.daily and my face gets so so red every blood vessel seems to fill that of course I'm glowing....

@Noisinmaro if you still feel sick, get on ondanestran - it is a miracle worker! I had severe HG and tried so many combos until i was admitted to hospital and it took the edge off for me massively on a good day. If I'd got on it sooner, they think it would have settled it nearly completely. Hope it does ease up for you lovely, it's horrible xx

@Butterflyskies ah thanks...good to know...
As miserable as I was I think people like you did get it worst...I use to vomit violently then once I stopped I was grand like a new woman got on with my day I worked until 11 weeks then was off few weeks more so for a chest infection but am grand now back to work i.work at home as much as I can....vomitting is now down to once a day maybe 4 or 5 times in that bout...but then I'm like a new woman again...carabin defo helped me...
You poor thing you went to hispitalni know you here stories where people can't work...I was lucky in that once I got sick.i felt great again...
I find if I don't over eat...like eat small it's better...not to be full so eat half my lunch if im out fir lunch but i usually bring my own food or when I'm at home in evenings I plate a small dinner up for myself....

Hi Ladies
My god I've just read Ll the comments I've been at work just got home. Glad ypu are all.well pre and post babies. I struggle to keep up with you all. It's nice to k ow we have others to talk to especially when your not at that piont of loved ones knowing yet. I still feel fine no bleeding so looking kinda forward to next.weeks scan but also if I wasn't having a scan I could ignore it and be none wiser. Just want to see a baby on a scan as I haven't actually seen anything yet through lSt two pregnancies I miscarried. It's ironic as if I go full term this one is due 16th Sept and my other 2 boys are 13th amd 24th Sept. I was lucky with both my boys I didn't have any morning sickness and I felt fine all.way through till it was very tight I there at about 35 weeks I started to feel sick so I'm kinda hoping for some sick ess so I know I'm.still pregnant.

Lookimg forward to seeing each others scan pics. Possative thi king all round.

Sorry girls realised this is 2024 not 2025 😂

Can't sleep......
How are yee all doing?@Racket81 @RW269 @KittyFantastica
Hope everyone still reaching their weeks and having positive feedback on scans...
I'm 27 weeks, had a bad storm in ireland last week, no esb for a week, back today, so apart from that all good and this insomnia I find myself having...
Seem to be suffering from bad carpel tunnel as well

@Noisinmaro Iv just reached week 10 ☺️ last Sunday had another scan, 9 week reassurance scan and babies heart was strong and growing lovely. So so nervous still but counting down the days to my 12.5 week scan!
how are you getting on? Oh yes, a couple of my friends where filling me in on the storm one of the girls I know lives where there’s no phone signal so when her electrics cut off for days she had no phone contact at all how scary!
ooo hope the insomnia lets you get a good nights sleep soon! Nothing worse when you know you need a good rest as well!

Hi Ladies glad your doing well @RW269 @Noisinmaro I have had 2 scans 1 @ 5 weeks and they couldn't find anything at all no sac went back week later and I had a sac with a faint.shadow thay looked like.start of something. Then went back again Friday just gone @ 7 plus 4 and I have a baby with a heartbeat. However they are suggesting I'm a week behind my dates amd measuring 6 plus 4 due to a 30 day cycle amd.laywr ovulation. Booked me for another scan with the miscarraige specialist lady on 20th Feb so I should be 9 weeks then as will showered but at this stage its a viable.pregnacy. can't believe it forst time i have seen a heartbeat as was no heartbeat on scans with previous pregnancies thay ended in MC. Still early days but its very possative news. .

@Racket81 this is such beautiful news!! Can’t wait to hear back on the 20th! It’s so so emotional seeing that little heartbeat flickering isn’t it! Got everything crossed for a positive scan for you! That’s the same day as my 12 week scan haha!
