Catching up with those from TTC thread

[MrsC87]

Just wanted to catch up with everyone from the TTC thread. I know some of us have July due dates and others August due dates, so wanted to check in with you all!
How are you all doing?
@Delilah7 @Crossfitgirl @RanchoRelaxo @sunshine1987 @SullyWifey
Sorry if I have forgotten anyone, please add them in ❤️

@EltzBee if it helps, our insurance is with More Than. They said a normal pregnancy is automatically included in the policy as it's not an illness. It's only of you have complications that they need any more info.

I flew 11 hours to Vancouver in the first trimester and now 5 to Lanzarote at 29 weeks. Economy both times. (The upgrades are horrifically expensive, but if work want you to go, maybe that can come under "reasonable adjustments"?) Flight socks, extra water and an aisle seat so you can move lots are a must. It was ok though.

Evening ladies.

Unfortunately I didn’t get good news at my re-scan today. They have taken more blood to see if there is any tiny glimmer of hope but at the scan they can still only see a pregnancy sac - it has grown considerably, but is still empty at 8 weeks. The nurses were all lovely but advised I prepare for the worst, if the bloods confirm this I’ll have surgical management next week. This will be my second loss in 5 months and I just don’t know if I can cope with trying again.

Thank you all for your kind words and support the past 2 weeks, it really has helped.

Lovely scan pic @sunshine1987 bet your buzzing. So are you announcing to everyone now?
Good luck to everyone else having scans, look forward to the pics! xx

What awful timing on my part @MrsEG sorry.
So sorry to read your post, do you have a good support network around you?
Please do look after yourself, sending hugs xxx

@eltzbee my appointment was meant to be 9.35 but got seen about 10 and was maybe about 20 minutes (baby wasn’t playing ball and moving where they wanted) and then another 10 for bloods probably. I was ok about the weeing bit, I drank a pint slowly from about an hour before but the pressing down to make baby move was making me need a wee 🙈 when’s your scan again? xx

@mrseg I’m so so sorry, sending you lots of love xx

@mrsc87 we won’t be doing an announcement or anything, just telling people as and when we see them. To be honest I told my best friends at 9 weeks and family lol, I couldn’t hold it in any more xx

I was the same @sunshine1987 😊
We need a new thread I think...

So sorry to hear that @MrsEG. Really am. Was really hoping you would get some good news today. Nothing can measure up with how you must be feeling. Take each day as it comes. Let yourself get through this, either which way it goes, and then you can focus on other things once you're ready ❤️

@sunshine1987 I know I really didn't understand the question. I've got my booking appt tmo so will ask the midwife what she thinks. He asked me when I went in for the original appt if I was happy about the pregnancy as well and I said yes it was planned then. Not sure what he is getting at really. Over the years I have found gps don't always have the best bedside manner - for whatever reason.

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear this ☹️ . Take care of yourself, if you need us we're here x

Thank you @MrsC87 @sunshine1987 @MrsLBear @GemmaJen yes I have a fantastic support network around me thankfully. Not up for seeing any of them yet though but DH has taken the rest of the week off.

I truly wish you all the happiest and healthiest of pregnancies and little ones x

@MrsEG sorry doesn't even come close to how I feel for you darling. I hope you find the strength to carry on through. Sending you lots of hugs and love xxx

@MrsEG I'm so so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself. We're all here for you if you need us. Xx

@MrsEG I'm so sorry what crushing news. I hope you are looking after yourself. Don't give up hope, you will have the family you deserve very soon I'm sure of it. Xx

Oh @MrsEG I am so sorry
Have been thinking about you today and kept checking the thread for your update, can't imagine how you are feeling, the one misscariage was terrible for me never mind another one afterwards, sending you my love xx

@MrsEG ❤️ xxx

@mrsEG I am so sorry to hear your news, I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Sending all my love to you and your DH xxxx
Please don't lose hope lovely, take all the time you need to process things and use all the support you have. You'll get through this ❤️ I hope you will let us know how you are getting on, though I know this thread is probably the last place you want to be right now. I will watch out for you on other threads 💐💐💐xxx

Crap. I'm so very, very sorry @MrsEG. I'm glad you have plenty of support but I can see why you haven't turned to them all just yet. You need time to process this before you can even start to properly grieve and heal. Remember that grief is part of the healing process, as awful as it feels. You don't need to make decisions about the future yet. Love and hugs. Xxx

Read this all again today @MrsEG. Sending you love and all the best. At least your DH can be with you cos you need all the support you can have and that's totally understandable that you don't want outside support ❤️

Girls can I ask what your symptoms were like in the early days? I had quite a few symptoms before I found out in the first week after ovulation but they seem to have disappeared for the last week pretty much. Boobs aren't hurting or anything anymore and cramping has stopped... I just wondered what experience you all had in the first 4-6 weeks.xxx

@Bettythecat I had my normal 'PMS' symptoms coming and was sure I was due on; I didn't really have any issues for first couple weeks as such, just some occasional cramps/twinges. Then at about 6 weeks, bam, exhaustion hit me and nausea started - oh and my boobs some days drive me up the wall with feeling sore, but not all day and not every day! Enjoy it whilst you're feeling 'normal' :)

@bettythecat I’m had very few symptoms. Nausea if I don’t eat often and heaved a few times if not quick enough to eat breakfast first thing. I also have sore boobs but had no exhaustion and generally been feeling good xx

Thanks @sunshine1987 @EltzBee I guess I'm a bit worried because I did have some symptoms (cramping, dizziness, boobs feeling more "boobish" and hard and a bit tender, headache, vivid dreams etc etc) all of which seem to have stopped this week since I've missed my period! Not sure if this is normal or not or if I should be worrying. Sounds stupid but I would really like some symptoms just so I know I am actually still pregnant 😫

@bettythecat I completely get it and I felt the same the whole through my 12 weeks up until I actually had my scan yesterday. But one thing I realised I spent that whole time worrying rather than being thankful about how good I felt 🙈 x
