2012 TTC chat

[Sunshine7125]

No kidding, I got up this morning and had to go right back to the bed... Nausea sucks lol. I didn't have it alot with my son but I have it atleast once or twice a day with this one.

 

[Smiler82]

VMAG - sorry you have had such a scare. How is it all today? Hope it has gone...I know how scary this it and totally understandable for you to feel as you do. But if it was only a small amount and was brown then that is encouraging that it is nothing to worry about. There are so many things that can cause it and since you are so early on I'm not sure there is much chance you'll get a reason for it as I would guess they can't see much on a u/s. Will you be able to have another scan to check the heart rate?

Sunshine - I know it's crap but hurrah for the nausea! Good to have strong symptoms, I probably will retract it when I'm actually pg again but I'd love to have strong symptoms next time as I think I'd find it reassuring there are strong pg hormones running through my body!! And omg is that your son on your avatar? He is absolutely gorgeous, looks like a real sweetie pie

 

[Sunshine7125]

Thank u that's my boy. His name is Zachary Lane but we call him Lane. He's 18 months now and gets into everything haha

 

[Smiler82]

That's such a great name! Zachary and Lane fit really well together. Does Lane have any significance? It's unusual and very cool I love them at that age, so adorable. We got to spend a lot of time with my 2 year old niece over xmas and just loved it, she is just the cutest

 

[Sunshine7125]

I picked Lane because its rare I love unique names. My name is Alissa which was rare when I was born too but now its more popular

 

[Smiler82]

Ah I wondered if maybe it was your maiden name or something but it is v cool, like it Alissa is a name I've thought about!! It's quite unusual over here - at least I don't know anyone called it and I would like to pick slightly different names for our kids. My name is Kathryn and although it's quite a common name, it's not a common spelling over here and it drives me mad spelling it out constantly...our kids will have easily-spelled names

 

[Sunshine7125]

I love your name, Kathryn, that's pretty! Our names so far are Austin for a boy and Madison or Isabella for a girl but we still have a long time to think about it.

How are you feeling?

 

[Smiler82]

Austin is a great name!! My dad actually has three vintage cars that are called Austins and when he bought them I thought hey, what a great name for a boy My dad thought it was a brilliant idea too but DH vetoed it Madison and Isabella are so pretty. Do you mind if you have a boy or girl? I used to think I really wanted a girl first but now I just feel like I don't care at all, as long as they are born safe and well that really is all I am bothered about.

I'm feeling fine thank you. I'm excited for testing next week but at the same time not getting my hopes up. I have zero symptoms but I know it's early. I just can't help thinking with both of my pregnancies I had funny pinching pains that in hindsight I realised were likely implantation pains. I've not had that so I think it's probably a no, but I'm kind of ok with it...though next week when AF arrives I can guarantee there will be some tears anyway!

How about you, how are things? Are you still spotting? I really hope its calming down x

 

[Sunshine7125]

I will be happy with a boy or a girl I've always wanted a girl but my son is just such a sweetheart I wouldn't mind another boy. I hope you are pregnant your not taking anything for fertility right? The spotting is getting better and I'm anxious to see what they find Tuesday on the scan.

 

[Smiler82]

Oh that's great news, so pleased the spotting is getting better. Is your scan AM or PM on Tuesday? Really hope it shows up everything is ok, will be anxious to hear how you get on

No I'm not taking any drugs yet, prob just this cycle and maybe one more of natural ttc before I start them. How early did you start getting symptoms with this pregnancy? Did you have an inkling you were pg in the days before you tested?

 

[Sunshine7125]

My scan is 1pm Tuesday. Im nervous. I got symptoms around 10 dpo and it was fatigue and being sleepy other than that nothing. I didnt even think i was pregnant but now i look back and realized it was symptoms FX'ed for you!!!

 

[VMAG]

Sunshine-I would like to start by saying that Zachary is soooooo cute! You are a very lucky mommy. (sorry, love these smiley faces).
Thank you for the encouragement smiler. The spotting only lasted for 2 bathroom visits and it was hardly anything, yet just enough to turn me into a lunatic. It was really exciting to see the baby and his/her heartbeat. They told me that I will not get another u/s but I am definitely going to try. They also said that after this, my next will be at 20 weeks. I am going to disney at 13 weeks so I am going to try to get a 12 week scan. Why are they so chincy (sp?) with the ultrasounds-wish I owned one. Wow...if this is how I am now, I am going to be 1 craaaazy mama!

 

[Smiler82]

VMAG - so pleased the spotting has gone away! That's great. Hope it doesn't come back. I cannot believe you don't get another scan til 20 weeks, that is madness! Over here we get a scan at 12 weeks and 20 weeks as standard, then extra ones if they think you need it. I would def push for another one before you go away if you can. Don't you pay for all this through insurance or something, surely you can make as many demands as you like

Sunshine it is nice to hear you didn't have many obvious symptoms I still feel totally normal but the more I look at my chart the more I think I ov'd 2 days later than FF said. Will just have to wait and see I guess... if FF is right AF is due on Weds, if I'm right it's due Fri. Eeep

 

[Mmleo]

Hello there.I c how everyone is doing n am sorry itsnt 100%.Am doing fine,went away for 2 days n it is almost time that i,d be OV(as i dint take any BCPills this cycle).I'll take my chance n BD..,who knows,it might happen.After taking 2 cycles of the pills,the 2nd being only 15days,dr told me not to take anymore coz they gave me v bad headaches!We were also to speak to the (IVF)specialist n c what else to take instead of the pills bt i was away..i think i'll go for a scan next week,hopping no new cysts.

Hi smiler.how is everything going?is DH back??Am really wishing u best of luck this time around..i'll be waiting to hear ur results.dindnt u hve an appt with ur dr abt what treatment to put u on??

 

[Mmleo]

Mmleo - wow! Congrats on the decision and getting the process started! How are you feeling about it all? Did you have another appt today, how'd it go? I truly truly hope this is the answer for you, wouldn't it be amazing if it worked 1st time round like Sunshine's friend...got everything crossed for you!!

Sunshine - that has to be good that the spotting is less than what you had with your son. It doesn't seem fair that you have to go through this twice though...but you got through it with your son, I hope and pray you will get through it this time too x

VMAG - gosh I am so sorry about your friend's mum, and to be there at the time as well must've been so difficult for you. Hope you're doing ok. Good luck for your scan, will you be 12 weeks by then? Let us know how it goes!

As for me I'm only 7 dpo. Technically I could test on Tues/Weds next week but DH is away all week for work so would prefer to wait till he gets back. I have no symptoms whatsoever and my temps aren't particularly high so I'm not holding out a lot of hope. Feeling calmer this cycle than the last couple though, think because I know I've got the HSG and then drugs to look forward to!

smiler-Am feeling much better abt IVF now,since i found out that i dont hve to be under anesthesia at all,that's one thing that i hate.I hd an appt,just to call back bt didnt do so,was super busy.I had fofgotten abt the HSG.,when r u doing it??then clomid or something else?

VMAG-dont worry so much abt the size of the baby,u/s isnt 100%,even if it was the size changes alot,this week he/she might be bigger n vice versa.It happened alot with my son.And if u can hve scans privately i'd do so.I had so many of those i cant even count.

 

[Mmleo]

Thank u that's my boy. His name is Zachary Lane but we call him Lane. He's 18 months now and gets into everything haha

He is so cute Zachary.was that taken on Xmas??I know what u mean by getting into everything..mine is now repeating after me without even asking him..wich is just fun..
am sorry u r still spotting sunshine,how long did it go on for with ur last pg??as long as it isnt as bad as the last time it happened am sure it'll heal earlier too.

 

[Smiler82]

Hey Mmleo

Wondered how things were going with you, not heard from you in a while! Do you think you're in with a sneaky chance at the mo then? Sorry the bc pills gave you such bad headaches Have you re-arranged to speak with the IVF specialist? How quickly can you get in?

Yes, I had an appt just before xmas. I'm waiting for a letter about the HSG, and am booked into see the doc again 1st Feb so hopefully will have had a good HSG result and they said I can try metformin first if I want, and then clomid if the met doesn't work. Don't know how long I can stay on the met though, will have to find out.

Yeah DH is home now but away again next week!! He has to go to France with work, and next week is when I'm expecting AF or (please please please) a bfp!

Good luck for your next scan Mmleo, really hoping for no cysts x

 

[VMAG]

Mmleo-HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT GETTING PRIVATE SCANS?

 

[VMAG]

Smiler-last month my chart told me I ov 2 days later than I thought. I was so disappointed. Then I got my bfp. Keep the faith!
