[Ladyinpink1]

I went to reply and you were right, the thread was full so I couldnt post a link to a new thread, also, because it's a new thread it wont give me a prediction to tag when I type a name, so I have just copied and paste the names off of everyone who posted on the very last page of the thread, I hope anyone else can find it OK. Sorry, maybe there is an easier better way... if anyone else can remember extra names and spellings, please tag 🙂

@UrsulaSings123 thank you, that sounds so tough re your friend ❤️ about the lh surge it's not an exact science and you're right, travel could throw out BBT, enjoy the trip whilst you're there as much as you can (moules frite and white wine is a fave of mine!). I'll be joining you next month if this one isn't the one ❤️

@UrsulaSings123 the thoughts are so hard, I can’t stop myself from getting miles ahead and planning for things that aren’t now happening, or that I can’t bank on. It doesn’t mean that possibility of conceiving in Paris is lost though! I hope you have a lovely time (I’ve no idea about temping but hoping someone can help with that!

I’ve tested, which looks positive ♥️🤞 I’m of course now bulk ordering tests and worrying about the line being slightly to the left of the test…

@Wise0wl waheey!! That's a definite positive, congratulations 😍

@Wise0wl That definitely looks positive to me! Amazing news, sending you all of my spare baby dust for a sticky bean. 💕

Thank you @ThelastRolo20 & @CluelessInLondon ❤️

Not sure if any of this is useful, but this month the only things I did differently was much more exercise, I have no idea when I ovulated, and it was the third month after I started taking CoQ10. So maybe something helped.

@Wise0wl this is good to know! I've picked up running, have taken CoQ10 for two months now and won't be doing OPKs so hopefully May's cycle will be the one for me 😂

Thank you all.
I'm not sure if EPU will scan me early or not. Is there a criteria for them too and do I just call them up and ask? My mmc was 2 days after my 12 scan when I had 1 with fetal medicine so not sure if they'd give me an early scan now.

@Wise0wl congratulations that's a definite positive!! Looks like we'll be due around the same time. Hoping we both have sticky babies 🤞🏻

@NphysT Definitely give them a call to ask - there's no universal approach, but the EGU at my hospital were brilliant and gave me two early scans in this pregnancy because of my previous loss. There's nothing at all to lose by asking, and if it enables you to get some reassurance and saves you having to book private scans then so much the better.

@Wise0wl that's definitely positive! Congratulations!!🩷

@NphysT @Wise0wl congratulations to you both!! That's lovely news to come on to today. I'll keep everything crossed that these are sticky beans.

@CluelessInLondon I hope you're keeping well. I'm also keeping everything crossed for your scan on Saturday 🩷.

@UrsulaSings123 I felt exactly the same when I first tried after my MC. I really internalised all the stuff about how you're much more fertile after and thought it would happen and was so gutted when it didn't. I hope you manage to have a lovely trip.

@Ladyinpink1 hope you're doing okay lovely, the negatives are so hard to see. Especially if you've tested positive early before.

@ThelastRolo20 the days are ticking down nicely for your holiday! Have you got all your holiday bits sorted? I'm in desperate need of a bikini that doesn't make me immediately want to put all my clothes straight back on again 😂

I had my appointment with my GP this afternoon and he was so much more reassuring than the last one. He said that my period sounds normal, and given we know I ovulated last cycle so should presumably be doing it every cycle, he thinks it's just a matter of time. He also said that if we're not pregnant by the end of May I can come back as that will have been a year of trying and he'll do more tests. I feel so much better after it and also knowing that there's a plan of sorts if it doesn't work out.

I wasn't planning on doing OPKs and BBT this cycle but I did one this morning and it was positive so pleased with that as we've been DTD Monday, yesterday, today and planning on doing it tomorrow too. I'm definitely feeling the benefit of not doing the BBT though - I don't think I realised how much time I was spending examining my chart!

@Bugdem123 I need to get all my summer clothes out and sort through them, 4 weeks to go 🤞🏻

So pleased your doctor was more helpful this time, and sounds like you've got your bases covered this month so I have everything crossed for you - are you normally an early tester?

@ThelastRolo20 I am but I'm going to try and hold off a little bit later this cycle until maybe the day or so before I'm due as I get so upset when it's negative that I'm starting to think I'm better off leaving it as late as I can. I've said that literally every cycle and never managed it so we'll see 😂

Thank you @jellyfish2 & @Bugdem123 ❤️

@Bugdem123 i am so pleased for you that you had a more encouraging GP appointment, and really great too that you’ve relaxed on the testing front but it looks like you’ve timed it well this month. When’s AF due for you?

@NphysT congratulations, that’s great news! So pleased to see a fellow PCOSer get their BFP

@Wise0wl also congratulations! I’m so, so pleased for you - feel very invested in everyone on this thread, even though I’ve never met any of you. I’ve been keeping up with where everyone is!

I’ve got an early scan booked for next week and bricking it to be honest. Should be 7-8 weeks by then in theory. Just can’t believe it might turn out ok but a big comfort to know that if it doesn’t I’ll have this thread xx

Thank you @HerbaceousPerennial! that’s good you’ve got a scan booked in, I really hope it goes well 🤞and I know what you mean. I am absolutely willing everyone on every month. Still think we should arrange a pub crawl at some point though!

@HerbaceousPerennial good luck for your scan! How have you been feeling?
@Wise0wl love the pub crawl idea 😂

@Wise0wl always up for a pub crawl! Currently enjoying a pint whilst waiting for my friend at the local curry house trying to make the most of not being pregnant 😂

Good luck for everyone's scans! It's going to be hard to keep up with everyone so do keep in touch

@ThelastRolo20 cheers to you! DH has poured himself a celebratory wine and I realised I missed out on my last weekend glass of wine because I’ve been so ill with this stupid flu bug!

I’m not quite ready to move over to another thread so I’d like to lurk on here still, if you’ll still have me.

Thanks @Wise0wl. Defo up for a pub crawl! Wondering about setting up a graduates thread, there are others I know but not quite the same. You lot have been too supportive is the problem, can’t do without you now!

@ThelastRolo20 have a pint for me! I do love a drink. Hope you have a good night

@jellyfish2 feeling mixed to be honest, fewer symptoms than my pregnancy with my son but more than with the miscarriage. Not enough to be reassuring is the problem! I do think I’m hyper vigilant about them all though and I can’t really be sure how far along I am due to irregular cycles. Plus midwives here have a really weird method of working it when they can’t do it by LMP so they’ve knocked at least a week off and probably closer to two which is really stressing me out for if something does go wrong

@HerbaceousPerennial try not to worry too much about the symptoms, I really am not convinced they mean much now. I still had them all when I had my MMC and took that as reassurance everything would be fine when it wasn't and it hadn't been for 4 weeks. Then you read about others who don't really have any symptoms and they have a healthy pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you that it all goes well!

Okkkkk so we officially need a graduates thread! Congratulations @Wise0wl & @NphysT ! Lurk away though

@CluelessInLondon I'll dedicate the book to you guys!

@Wise0wl big fan of the choose your own adventure book comparison 😂

@ThelastRolo20 I'm sorry about the friend may leave thing. The random news / reminders are the hardest for me. Going to see a friend I stopped talking to because she got sjirty with me about being distant during her pregnancy with a similar timeline to mine. At another friend's baby's 1st bday party. Will be meeting the baby for the first time, going to be fun - new baby and probs still shirty with me, as she was when I congratulated her after the birth.

@NphysT do you have to pay for it second time round in your area? So crap! Mine will pay now because I've already had a trisomy abnormality pregnancy. Well, we'll see if they still do in 2089 when/if I finally get pregnant 🤣

@UrsulaSings123 don't beat yourself up about
it or worry too much - easier said than done I know. You never know what Mother Nature has in store. Also if it's your first month tracking bbt, this is all part of getting used to your temps. One of my TTC mantras is "Your baby knows when they're coming, it's just you that doesn't". Like they're out there somewhere in the universe just waiting for their time. When youve had a baby you'd never want to swap it for a different one, we're just waiting for the children we're meant to have to come into our lives. Not sure if that makes any sense but brings me comfort 🤪

@Bugdem123 yay so happy your gp was reassuring and you have a plan in place!

@HerbaceousPerennial great to have that scan to break things up a bit! Here for you no matter the outcome ♥️

@Ladyinpink1 let's be tryers/not tryers for a bit and see where that gets us 💪🏻 i might try that powder stuff though, and definitely going to start exercising more and eating better. For my mental health as much as anything else. How are you feeling about it all?

My brain is absolutely spannered at the minute. Work is really stressful again so don't think that's helping. Didn't put my cd5 blood test in my calendar and got stuck into work today, missed it, and only remembered at tea time. So got to wait another cycle for that, great. Just feel like stress just takes over and never going to get pregnant with this level of stress :( hopefully the exercise and healthy eating will help it. Also sleeping weirdly and having wisdom tooth problems on one side so on strong antibiotics from the dentist, so can't even drink and enjoy that part of not being pregnant 😒

@HerbaceousPerennial @Wise0wl absolutely a graduate thread is needed! I hope we're all on it at some point.

@samilicious oh gosh that sounds so difficult with your friend, they just don't get it sometimes do they.

@samilicious sorry only just read your other update, sounds like a lot is going on. What's the CD5 blood test for? I'm also trying to exercise more, can't say I'm eating healthier after a curry, pints, and ice cream though! 🤦‍♀️

Wisdom tooth pain is the utter worst. Had two of four taken out, and one of the remaining filed down as it kept cutting my lower gum. Ridiculous
