First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 3

[summerbird]

A new thread for us to carry on.

Bring on the BFPs!!!

x

hey MAF, I was BFN two days ago and still very faint line today so it could take a while for your line to come up. so until AF turns up there's hope for you and i!

I am 10 days DPO today and usually have a 10 day LP but have been taking herbs and having acupuncture this month so not sure if i'm actually due on today or the acupuncture has worked and my LP is a bit longer so either which is good news in a way.

Questions a line is a line is a line. So have everything crossed for you. When you thinking about testing again?

Waves to all

Hi girls,

Hope you all have a lovely weekend planned. I can't wait to get home tonight and make myself comfortable on the couch for the Tudors.

Poop on a scoop. I had the results of my last smear test last night and it was borderline, so I've got to go again in 6 months.

summerbird I will go to the docs on Monday I think as still no AF! He thinks I'm a hypocondriac though and last time I went to get a mole checked out on my face he just tutted and said he could hardly see it...he was sitting way across the desk as well rude man! p.s. glad your little moggy turned up!

MAF sorry about BFN but as questions says, it aint over till its over.

Hi Dawnofthedead hows you today?

xxxxxxxxxxxx

So Linwin, are all the Tudors coming around tonight or just the sexy ones??!! And wouldn't the bed be more comfortable than the sofa?! Sorry about the smear hun. I had that once and had to go every year for 3 years but it was fine when I went back. Sometimes your body just messes you around...

Had some really sad news on the other thread tonight, one of the girls went for her 12 week scan and there was no baby. It hadn't developed at all but because the sac was there, she'd been having all the symptoms. I'm so awfully upset for her... . But it is making me determined to try and have a scan at 8 weeks, you just never know do you... Sometimes bodies can really play awful tricks on you...

I now want some good news from questions, I may even come on line tomorrow to check!!

I am feeling Ok. The lactulose still isn't working probably so I'm really bloated and constipated and uncomfortable. And the worst thing is, it makes the "supposedly normal" cramps feel worse and makes me panic that something is wrong. Another reason for that early scan I think!!

MAF, still got everything crossed for you aswell hun!!

hey ladies! line is still there! phew...and easier to see this morning, DH saw it too so i'm not imagining it! aargh, i didn't realise this whole process would be so nerve-wracking! but i know we're so lucky already just getting this far on our first month.

i told my DH that i'm really scared of something happening as it's so soon, he was great and said, at the moment we're pregnant, if anything happens then that will be out of our hands and we'll deal with when if it occurs. he's also turned super protective of me already!

it hasn't sunk in yet, partly becuase i'm scared of letting it!

dawn can you actually ask for an early scan at 8 weeks? there are so many sad stories on MN it's hard not to worry and be sad for them

MAF any news? fingers crossed for you

oops!

questions!!! hoorah and congrats

i know what you mean about being cautious, i had my BFP two weeks ago and still think people are talking about someone else... i dont feel properly pregnant yet, although my (.)(.)s are like cannons!!

MAF any news?

Ahh congrats questions!!!

Congrats questions!!! I knew it!! Re your question about early scans... I'm not sure what the general rule is, but I've got a brilliant GP and because of the MC, they tend to be more lenient. I think it totally depends where you live aswell. It's almost like postcode lottery...

Summer, I totally know what you mean about not feeling PG. I woke up today not feeling at all PG, but it might be because I've been out today whereas normally I'm in the house all day, other than taking the dog out so my mind is pretty much on it most of the time... The only thing I'm feeling is really tired. Even though it's only 2.30pm in the afternoon, I could just fall asleep right now. So I'm going to!!

Catch you all later girls!!

Hey ladies

AF arrived friday night so 12 hours later than usual Which means my LP might be extending. I really didnt think i was this month so am fine, just wanna get started with next month now, especially as DP and cats finally moved n this morning. The place is chaos (which would normally frek me out) but i feel really contented. DP said she didnt think we'd fall PG until we were all settled and i think she might be right so here's to 3rd time lucky Also means i can have a very very large glass of champagne tonight to celebrate

MAF x

and Questions Thats brilliant news

MAF thats poo about AF but a big CONGRATULATIONS on DP and the cats moving in i think you are right, maybe now that you are settling down then it could just happen... and you deserve that HUGE glass of champers as you have lots to celebrate (make sure you have one for me as all i am now allowed is a virtual glass!!)

Last night my friend came round and was drinking a crisp bottle of Pinot Grigio so i got a bottle of pomegranate juice and drank it out of a wine glass - i tell you it could have been rose wine!!!

happy weekend everyone

WOOHOO Normans just made it out from behind the back of the sofa and is sitting by me purring away as i type Rizz is still in hiding

summer Loving the Pomegranate idea

Summerbird I do that with red grape juice - just like red wine.....if a little cold

MAF congrats on DP and the cats moving in!! about AF but as you say, things could start moving in the right direction now. And good for you on the champers lady!!

Went to the docs on Friday afternoon for more blood tests, I saw the nurse. She said the anitbodies may have been from an infection or something, so I'm trying not to worry until I get the results. Either way it's early days so if it is anything, I should be able to be monitored successfully. Saying that I will be on the phone on Wednesday to see if the results are back!!!

I also asked about taking my Omega3 capsules and was told not to (I had actually stopped once I got my BFP) as although they say that they are made from Fish Oil and don't mention Fish Liver at all the nurse and doctor that I asked told me not to take them - just thought I'd share that in case any of you are taking these tablets too!

I'm also off to the dentists on Thursday....first free apointment since I was a kid!

Hi to everyone and hope you all have enjoy your Mondays

Saz, thanks for the info on the Omega 3. Weird though since my Pregnacare Vitamins come with Omega 3 as a separate capsule to take!! Maybe you only take them from 12 weeks as I think they're only really effective from then. So I'll stick to my vitamins and leave that capsule out (always gets stuck in my throat anyway!!).

MAF, sounds like everyone's settling in nicely to your place then!! Has Rizz come out yet?!

Summer, I'm avoiding everyone with alcohol at the moment and I'm not quite sure what I'll say at my Bro's 21st party because DH ALWAYS drives. But he's really close to my Bro so I'll just say that I offered to drive for a change....

Hope all are having a good Monday!!

Oh girls forgot to say I also got a date for my 12 week scan...3rd November. It's seeming more real now. It also said I can buy a copy of the scan for the small charge of 2 pounds, and although it will probably look like one of those magic eye pictures I could never see, I'll be having one of those!!

Saz thats fab about your scan. I bet your so excited and good luck for wednesday

So a quick question for you ladies would you want to know if your having a boy or a girl?

and yep Thanks Dawn Rizz is popping out occasionally

Hey all,

MAF, I'd definitely want to know. Because if I'm honest, I really don't want a boy... . I know that makes me sound horrible, but I've always got on much better with baby girls than baby boys. That psychic that I saw said that I was going to have a boy, so at least I'm prepared for it. I know that I'll love it no matter what, but I'd rather know beforehand so that I can get my head around it. I think if you don't mind what you have, then it would be a nice surprise either way!!

Saz, great news about the scan hun. I think I'm going to phone the doctor next week when I should be 7 weeks and then arrange to see a midwife and see if I can have an 8 week scan. Because of the MC last time, they might let me have one. You can buy try hey?!

Big waves to everyone else!!

Well ladies...amazingly it's my 12wk scan this week! Thusday morning in fact. I'm excited and terrified - have a horror of them finding nothing there. I had never even heard of a missed miscarriage until I came on this forum. I live in hope that the headaches, sickness and expanding boobs are a 'good' sign though. I will not get scan results for a further 2 weeks as my hospital only give combined results with the blood test they take on the day of the scan. Think I will hold off telling the 'masses' until I have the full results as I know DH has genuine concerns about coping with a disabled child, so I think it best not to go to town too much until we know where we stand. Hopefully, that will be a bridge we will not have to cross.

Anyway...to answer MAF's question, much as I desperately want to know if it's a boy/girl...I'm going to wait until the birth. I don't know why. I guess it's only because I always thought that's what I'd do. Silly reason really. DH says he doesn't mind either way....I don't think it's sunk in for him yet.

Dawn - I secretly want a girl too. I have been teling myself it's a boy since getting PG to try and prepare myself. The only reason for me is that I feel I'm better with girls and would be a better parent to a girl than a boy. I've never been great at knowing how boys think so I worry I'll get more things wrong as a parent. I'm sure we'd cope either way and I know as soon as baby is here we'll love him or her equally...silly really.

MAF So pleased DP has moved in and that cats are finding their feet slowly...I'm very jealous that you have furry friends! Give them a stroke from me! And as for things happeneing once you're settled...cliched I know...but I suspect that there's maybe something in that...fingers crossed!

Saz - yeah for scan date! I'll be crossing their palms with silver for the photo too...mine not yours, that is!

Summer - I envy you not feeling PG. Every part of me is falling apart...FAR from blooming!

Hi girls!!

I am just catching up on all the news!!

questions congratulations on your BFP!! I am very and at the same time lol!!

MAF congrats on your dp moving in!!

Dawn fingers crossed they give you a 8 week scan!!

Flirty and Saz woo hoo for your scans!! U will have to try and upload the pics of the scan somehow!!

I have been away for the weekend, had a lovely time with dp just relaxing, got rather drunk on Saturday and felt ill all day Sunday

I am now on CD19 and on the dreaded 2 WW , we have bd'd loads this month but dont feel PG, but i spose i am only 4 DPO..... think its gonna b a long 2 weeks!!

Big hello to everyone else!! xx

p.s. I dont think i would find out if boy or girl, would want to wait for the surprise!!

Hello everyone, just popping in to say hi. Have't been on here for quite a while- two or three weeks I think so sorry.

CONGRATS to everyone expecting little bumps turning into big bumps turning into little people.

I'm on CD 16 today so BD as much as we can, and hoping!

Good luck everyone else

MAF I wouldn't want to know, I think it would be the best surprise EVER!

Dawn I think you should definitely phone for an early scan and you should get one too hun.

Flirty I have that same fear of there being nothing to see, especially with me not having many symptoms. I'm sure everything will be fine and am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that you see what you should on Thursday.

Hi Vix, Summer, Questions and Michaela and everyone else

I know two people who had Blighted Ovum which is where the foetus doesnt develop, so i too am worried about the scan, especially with my lack of symptoms, however i was feeling rather queasy this morning and felt better after breakfast.

However flirty i am also v excited for you that you have your scan this week, it will be fab when you see the little wriggler waving at you! and saz that is fab you have your date - i am going to ring the hosp in a couple of weeks to chase it up as they said it could be anything from 10-14 weeks

michaelas you go for it girl - it is your optimum time before the dreaded 2WW

vix just another 9 days to go on the 2WW - god doesnt it drag??

isnt it funny dawn and flirty as i secretly want a boy! i am one of three sisters and have seen enough of little girls now, my DH and his bro were so cute when they were little boys, it would be such a novelty for me, i am not sure yet whether i would want to know, DH wants us to find out at the scan tho!

MAF i have two cats too, they are adorable, Boris tends to hide under the bed between the storage boxes! I am glad Rizz has surfaced

Good morning lovelies,

How exciting with the scans coming up flirty, summerbird and saz

Dawn you should just moan at them until they give you the early scan.
I'm getting quite good at moaning these days, I brought a pair of shoes back to a certain upmarket shoe shop last night and moaned so much that I got a full refund! Yippee! well it is the credit crunch.

I called the doctor the other day too as still no sign of AF, although I did another test on Sunday and it was BFN. The doctor thinks that I've skipped one due to stress etc and it is most unlikely I am PG as the tests would pick it up given I'm so late.
I hope thats the case anyway as I changed my mind AGAIN! (DH is ready for killing me) and I'm taking the new job after all. Tomorrow I'm sure I'll have changed my mind again.

As for the big debate, I would definitely want to find out the babies gender as early as possible. Although I'm the kind of person who can't wait until christmas day for her presents. I would secretly want a girl as well. I have loads of nephews and only one neice and it would be so nice if she had a little girlie cousin.

Hi to everyone else I've missed

xxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s. Dawn the series of the Tudors had finished so I didn't get to cavort with any of them on the sofa the other night!!!
