TTC for those taking longer than average

@daniki @RRAEE @whatdoyouthink123456 @carolinep3

Went to reply on the other thread but it’s full!!!

@whatdoyouthink123456oh my god step AWAY from that brand 🤣 if you go by to my tests from last year you’ll see the absolute nightmare I had with them, they show no progression whatsoever and once I changed to the boots 5 days early the difference was unreal! So defo get a diff brand. 😂 haha you have a busy few weeks ahead but you know what it will keep your mind occupied which is great so it will fly by to 12 weeks!

@Marie1990xaw the wee cutie, she’ll be delighted when he comes! She’ll be a great help. A great age, we were saying the same about our boy as he loves baby and he’s very kind so im hoping he will also be a good help! God I almost went to the hospital earlier to get checked as was worrying about movements but have been getting a few this evening thank god, and doubting any that I had earlier and last night 🙈 roll on October!

@whatdoyouthink123456 did you get some other tests? Good luck for your bloods! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Help or a hindrance, I haven’t decided yet 😂. She keeps “changing” her baby dolls saying she’s practicing for her brother , so sweet.

Is it 24 weeks onwards they say they’re concerned about movements? Nooo don’t be panicking now! I’m trying to be chill now it’s all looking good and very minimal possibility anything could go wrong from now 🫣🤞🏼

@Marie1990xyep even 28 weeks is when you’re supposed to take count, I’m just an anxious physco 🤣 haha ah no she’ll defo be a help she’s that bit older, my friends daughter is only two and while does be a help she’ll also sneakily catch her pulling the babies dummy out nd stuff 🤣

youre right positive mindset everything will be fine 🧘‍♀️ I do be fine for a few weeks and then it all comes in on me 🙈

@Daniki haha it’s only natural. I think I’m only in a positive mindset because I only had my scan a couple of days ago 😂. Give me another week or so and I’ll be back to panicking. Think I’m going to book a 4D scan for 30ish weeks. They did a sneak peak one on Saturday and it’s so much better than 4 years ago with my daughter. Always said we wouldn’t bother this time as it was rubbish last. Plus I definitely can’t cope with not having any other scans after July!

@Marie1990xno that’s insane! I would be the same if I wasn’t to have any more after the big one 🤣 at my apps they scan you every time thank god, the only benefit of being high risk 🤣 yea im the same I be good after a scan then it slowly turns to worry again! 🙈

I went for another blood test this morning, will get the results later today.

I went to Tesco and they only had CB or this. Iv heard people say about the red ones 🤷🏻‍♀️
Its still not as dark as I’d like for around 4w5d! I guess the results later will be telling. And will have to go from there x

@whatdoyouthink123456 it’s still a strong positive! 🤞🏼Have you had your bloods back yet?

@Danikithats great they get to scan you at each appointment! I was classed as high risk and under consultant care at the start but they’ve decided I’m okay to be midwife led now, but never had any additional appointments or scans 😂. To be fair it’s due to my labour and birth, not the actual pregnancy

The hospital called earlier and said my hcg has gone from 124 on Thursday to 1,156 this morning.
they want to scan we tomorrow morning to confirm if it’s ectopic etc x

@Marie1990xI know, delighted with it 😂 did you mention yet you’d like a section?

@whatdoyouthink123456im sure all is fine, and atleast you’ll have a scan tomorrow so you’ll know for definite! 🙏🙏 try not worry. And that test earlier looked great!

@whatdoyouthink123456 that sounds like a decent increase? Were they happy with it?

@Daniki I told my community midwife and she was completely onboard with it. She said to mention it at my consultant appointment to get it confirmed, but then he discharged me to the midwife team without even having an appointment 😂. I was going to message her, but I’m seeing her next week anyway so will just mention it then.

@Marie1990xthats great! Nice to have an exact date 🫶🏻

@Daniki as well as due to what happened last time, the knowing and being able to prepare while having a 4 year old is a dream and definitely sold it! I just hope it’s at least a week before, my daughter’s birthday is the day before my due date 🫣. So I’d like to be out of hospital and en-route to recovery by her birthday 😅

@Marie1990xid say so they usually take you in like a week before if I recall right!

@Marie1990xhow are you getting on?

@whatdoyouthink123456did you get your scan to confirm if eptopic or not? 🙏

yes I had a scan last week which was all good. Baby measuring 7 weeks and had a little heart beat! All in the right place.
I’m still feeling very anxious as it’s soo early and we are getting married in 2 weeks! but it’s as good as can be for this early!

how are you getting on?

@Daniki heyyy I was meaning to message the other day to check in then forgot 🤣. I’m doing good thanks! Sickness has finally gone so much more enjoyable now. Feeling lots of movements now too which is lovely. Can’t believe I’m practically half way!
How is everything with you?

@whatdoyouthink123456 omg incredible news! Congratulations 🥰. Normal to feel anxious, you’ll feel it all the way through now 🤣 xx

@whatdoyouthink123456oh that’s great news 🥰 how exciting too now waiting on your wedding!

@Marie1990xgreat it’s gone! I know the time is flying by it’s mad, can’t believe I’m 24 weeks today! Delighted to be at “viability” now 🥰the movements is defo reassuring and so nice! I’m just wishing the weeks away hoping October rolls around quick 😂

@Daniki yeahhhh 24 weeks is a great milestone to hit! Can’t wait to get there. I’m 19 weeks now (how?!?) and just want me 20w scan over with as I’m starting with my anxiety again 🤣.
Haha October will be here before you know it! So true that it goes quicker when you’ve got another kid running it 😂 xx

19, crazy! 😝 when is your scan? I have a rescan next week, can’t wait 😂 yea defo going a lot quicker this time round! Finally on my summer hols, even I was stuck in work for a few hours today. The tiredness is still unreal iv been napping everyday 😂xx

@Daniki haha oh noooo! Take the naps while you can get them though. Thankfully my tiredness has subsided.

My scan is on the 14th. Was meant to be next week but the date the gave didn’t work.

Ah niceC when was your last scan? X

@Marie1990xi had the anatomy scan on the 18th June but baby was moving a lot so couldn’t get clear pics of the heart so im back in next week. God I wish mine would subside I am just exhausted 😂I picked up some more iron today so will see if it gives me a boost! X

@Daniki ahh that’s cute it was moving so much though 😂 also happy days that you get another scan! Do you have any more after this one?
My 20w is the last I have booked but going to have to book a private one, no way I can do 20 weeks or so without one until due date 😅

@Marie1990xdefo! I duno how I’d cope without all the scans 😂 il have an app on the 24th July for maternal medicine clinic so they’ll scan me there too, I expect they will scan me at every app they did with my son! I know it was lovely to see 😂 not be long till the 14th it will fly in!

@Daniki I have been so rubbish at keeping up on this thread! We’ve been away and to be honest kept forgetting I was even pregnant 😂. Had my 20w scan yesterday and all good except he’s on the large side 🫣. Literally just in the range of not having to have further tests/treatments.

How are you getting on?

@whatdoyouthink123456 how’s things on your side?

Hello ladies!

Jumping in at 7dpo on a 5 year TTC journey. This is our last cycle before we start IVF and I'm feeling hopeful

I had some cramping that I can only describe as period cramps, and today my boobs feel heavy and looking like they want to break out of my bra! I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I've become very good at not getting my hopes up.

I just need to fast forward the week to take a pregnancy test, or just have AF appear 😂
