Hi ladies, it's been a long time but I wanted to say hello and wish everyone well - whatever stage you are at in this journey.
My little boy is 13 months old now, I can't believe it. I'm back at work and he is enjoying nursery life, which is a huge relief.
Next month we will be heading up to Scotland to visit family and I can't wait, he was too little to really experience it all when we visited last year but I am hoping he will enjoy the holiday this time round.

Westy22 · 19/03/2025 14:27

Hey!

How you all doing? Ovie is 4 months now 😍 we're on our first family holiday to Cape Verde which is a whole new experience 🤣

He's doing well but has CMPA and with it has come eczema which isn't fun, we have a proper regime to try and keep his skin under control otherwise it really flares up. He's still so dinky too but hoping he will chunk up now he's completely off milk protein formula.

Hope your all well ❤️❤️ xx

Jadeypie · 19/03/2025 14:45

Hi everyone 🥰

Where has the time gone? I crnt believe how old all the babies are getting it truly does fly!!

I found out which school my little man will be starting next month i just crnt cope ha.

We havnt been try ttc, that journey is truly over for us now. I'm off the metformin and I have my periods under control my health kick I've been on has done wonders for me so I've just been concentrating on being the best version of myself!

Hope everyone els is doing well ❤️

Hi everyone!
Little update from me, not due on til Tuesday and testing positive again woohoo. Started progesterone last night and keeping everything crossed.

How is everyone getting on?

Westy22 · 13/04/2025 11:18

Ahhh keeping everything crossed for you @Paws4thought

We're good, Ovies 5 months and such a cheeky character, he's going to be a wild child I can tell 😂 We've started early weaning due to CMPA so he's tried lots of fruits and veggies and we've not found one he dislikes yet 😂 literally wants everything x

Jadeypie · 13/04/2025 13:01

@Paws4thought aww lovely news 😊 xx

@Westy22 oh I loved this stage it's so fun my little one suffered bad with colic. Soon as he started weaning the difference was amazing he loved his food too and still does! Xx

Little update from me. I had my hycosy wow that was a experience! Turns out I have a heart shaped womb. Only one tube works plus my dodgy hormones so the odds was never really in my favour. Since that me and my partner had a serious discussion about having another i know I said we was done but deep down i wasn't so we have decided to give it one last go again. Got the infertility clinic in 10 days so will wait to see what's next xx

Supertrooper101 · 13/04/2025 20:09

@Westy22 my nephew had that. He was on special milk. His skin was so bad 😔 he was in so much discomfort. Buttttt, it did get better over time finally when all the allergys were eliminated and you would never guess now and dowent suffer any skin problems at all now! My little one isnt too keen on weaning...at all 🤣. Not gona force it though.
@Jadeypie am so plsd you had that test and finally have a solid answer after all this time! Ive not been getting notifications so read your not trying again to yep one more go messages together lol was they able to unblock the other tube? Might finally be your year 🙂
@Paws4thought thats great news. And that you have the progesterone ready! Keep us updated 🙂

Jadeypie · 13/04/2025 20:16

@Supertrooper101 aww how is your little one doing? I don't get notifications either just now and again.

They tried to flush it with saline after the dye wouldnt go through it didn't work but I did spot for a good few days later so maybe it unblocked after the fact who knows I did notice my ovulation pain wasn't just tonne side this month. Suppose time will tell x x

Paws4thought · 13/04/2025 20:53

@westy22 what is CMPA? Ooo hope he continues loving the healthy stuff :) Can't believe he's 5 months already!
@Jadeypie ah that's really interesting, good to actually have some answers, hopefully the spotting was your tube unblocking 🤞 not long til infertility clinic, keep us updated :)
@supertrooper101 how old is your little one now?

Sez281 · 16/04/2025 10:03

Hi ladies, wow so much to catch up on!

@HopeAndStrength aww I can't believe he's 15 months, time is flying! Hope the trip to Scotland was fab!

@Westy22 Sorry to hear about Ovie's CMPA, hope the weaning is going ok. We started Sophie about a month ago (she's 6.5 months now) it's going well, her reflux is still pretty bad but she's a "happy spitter" So luckily doesn't need meds or anything. We've a few teeth through so sleep is pretty hit & miss at the moment 🥴

@Supertrooper101 how is your little one doing? Is she crawling or anything? I feel like it's going to start soon here, dreading her being on the move and not being able to turn my back for a second 🙈😂

@Jadeypie Oh I'm so glad to hear that you've had all the tests and know where you stand, best of luck with the clinic, will be keeping everything crossed for you! X

@Paws4thought Aww congratulations lovely! So glad to hear that you're on the progesterone, will be thinking of you and praying for the best possible outcome! 🙏

@xxcxdonxx Hopw you're doing ok, you're probably well settled into the new place now?

@SnookyPook Hope you and the boys are doing well xx

I can't believe how dart time has gone. So much has happened. I honestly can't remember my life before her, everyday is kind of a blur. It's tough going with the lack of sleep but she s totally worth it 🥹 We're driving over to Spain for the month of May and it can't come soon enough as it'll be such a nice break. It won't be like my previous holidays but the sunshine should make it easier 😂

If I've missed anyone I'm sorry, hope everyone is doing well xx

Westy22 · 16/04/2025 10:14

@Paws4thought it's cows milk allergy, literally made his skin peel and flare @Supertrooper101 was horrific. Thankfully his skin is already amazing, he's on prescription formula now...£40 a tin...thank god for prescriptions 😂 I going to start introducing allergens as I know it's very common for babies with eczema to have other allergies. Ah is she not? Ovie is loving life trying different foods lol he's on broccoli atm and I thought this would be the one he wouldn't take but he loves it 😂 he's dinky for his age so I'm hoping it fattens him up a bit.

Glad you've finally got answers @Jadeypie will keep everything crossed for you ❤️

@Sez281 ah Ovie has reflux too, its calmed down loads but we have the odd bad day. I've avoided meds too as I read it can cause lots of constipation. So jealous your going away for a month 😂 although we did an 11 day holiday and I'm not gonna lie it was rough 😂😂 the only perk was it was all inclusive so I didn't need to worry about cooking etc and the weather was nice. So good luck ❤️

@Paws4thought hope your doing okay xx

xxcxdonxx · 22/04/2025 13:55

Hi everyone, so nice to see your messages pop up!

@Jadeypie hope your appointment goes well, I think it’s tomorrow? I know the feeling of back and forth for giving it ‘one last shot’, it’s a really difficult one to walk away from.

Brilliant that Ovie is loving his foods @Westy22 , long may it continue. Weaning is such a messy time but amazing to see them try different things.

@Paws4thought so delighted to see your update, how are you doing?

@Sez281 that must feel like a quick 6months for you! Hope you enjoy your month holiday, spending some time in the sun sounds amazing.

@SnookyPook hope everything is good with you and the boys?

@Supertrooper101 hope your little one is doing well, my wee girl didn’t take to weaning well either but we got there eventually with her.

Little update from me, we’ve not been ‘trying’ as such but did get a positive test a few weeks ago and had a scan this morning where I am measuring about 7weeks. I can’t actually believe it, it’s the furthest I’ve got in these past two years. Still early days yet but was in total shock to get some good news from EPAU. It’s my first positive since my last MC almost a year ago so my body maybe just needed the time to recover, who knows xx

Westy22 · 22/04/2025 14:08

@xxcxdonxx ahhhhh it's so lovely to hear from you and with such positive news ❤️ really praying this is your time, have they agreed regular checks? I can imagine you feel a bit on edge atm. Really wishing you well xx

@Paws4thought I hope your also doing okay xxx

Ovies full of a cold, my god its been rough and now he's passed it on to me. Hopefully he is coming out of the other side of it, he's sleeping loads and not feeding as much as normal so just trying to keep an eye on his nappies etc 😴

Jadeypie · 22/04/2025 14:56

@xxcxdonxx oh lovely news!!! I am absolutely delighted for you 🫠 sending so much positiveity your way xx

I hope everything is going well for you! How are you feeling? Xx

@Westy22 aww it's horrible when they get sick! you just feel hopeless. It's been the same in our house now I've caught it off my little man never ending circle xx

My appointment is Thursday to see the specialist which should be interesting. No clue what's next. Ive finally got my cycles to 30-33 days from those 20 day ones so I'm proud of my body think the ectopic and then miscarriage just took a toll and my body needed a break. Anyways I'm on cd31 hopefully that hycosy done some tricks for me like @Sez281 xx

Jadeypie · 22/04/2025 14:57

@Paws4thought that second bit was for you I didn't tag you sorry xx

Supertrooper101 · 23/04/2025 08:17

@xxcxdonxx thats such good news to see 🙂 hope they give you extra monitoring
@Jadeypie good luck for your appointment, but like you say, maybe your body was just a little tired and ready to go again. Heres hoping for no period!
@Westy22 swear myne had a 'cold' for a solid 6mths lol aparently a c section can do that 🤷‍♀️. How you doing the weaning? Do you blend the food or just give the veg soft? Ive completley forgot everything lol
@Sez281 awww little ones first holiday.. you will need to free up some space on your phones for all the pictures lol am soooo ready for some teeth to cut thr. Shes had the signs for weeks! Lol

Cant remember who asked lol little uns 7mths. Been sotting up for a coupe months but refuses to roll or be on her belly lol but am not fussed. She will do stuff when she pleases lol

Jadeypie · 23/04/2025 08:26

@Supertrooper101 awww they all do their own thing my James didn't ever roll he was just not interested he does now tho haha or bloody constantly climbing. So it's true you do forget? Think I've forgot and it's only been four years haha.

Well I got a faint line this morning I'm 11dpo came up straight away so just seeing how the week pans out. Only thing giving me hope is I've had sero spotting leading up to af which I always get and did with my last two pregnancys xx

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 10:13

@Jadeypie oh wow 🙂 will you have regular check ups?

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 17:13

@Supertrooper101 so i have to have blood tests every two days from tomorrow which just gives me anxiety but I know it needs to be done thought because I've had no spotting ect they would of left me till a early scan but they want to monitor my bloods x

xxcxdonxx · 24/04/2025 18:22

@Jadeypie whaaaat, that’s amazing!! That’s good you have a plan to monitor you in place. How are you feeling?

I’ve no plan in place, EPAU said they didn’t need to see me again and I could just wait for my 12 week scan. Not sure if I’ll manage the wait for ask for another scan midway.

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 19:09

@xxcxdonxx I'm anxious for sure but also hopeful! Am I have some symptoms so that's good ha.

Oh really is that because all went well with your scan? I bet that makes you feel anxious to wait till 12 weeks!

The Dr referred me to the prem team too because my heart shaped womb can cause prem labour but with me carrying to full term with James she said I can do it again. Just another thing to add into the worries xxx

I just keep reminding myself this is a new pregnancy and try and just be in the moment!

How have your symptoms been? Xx

xxcxdonxx · 24/04/2025 23:05

I’m similar to you @Jadeypie , definitely an underlying sense of worry but I’ve had no spotting etc. this time round so hopeful that this may be the one.

Yes, they said they could see really good development from my the previous scan two weeks ago and didn’t have any concerns, wish I shared their enthusiasm! I’ve plucked up the courage to register with a midwife too so I’ll see her next week.

I didn’t realise that about heart shaped wombs, really good you’ve been referred so quickly and they are on top of it.

I’ve been ok, a bit nauseous but that’s fuelled by nerves too. I’m also on progesterone and daily blood thinning injections so feeling a bit battered and bruised 🥴

Jadeypie · 25/04/2025 06:33

@xxcxdonxx we just have to take any positive we can and run with it!! I've had zero spotting so I'm taking that as a good sign too!

Thats great news little bean is coming on leaps tho!! Well done for registering with the midwife hopefully speaking to her will give you some peace of mind.....or is this it be full on loons for months? Haha

I didn't either and to think that was never picked up with my first is wild.

I just have headaches and incredible thirst and the usual full tenner boobs. If I remember correctly 8-9 weeks symptoms ramp up till 12 xx
