30-somethings TTC #1 Testing and Support Thread!

[maxxiandniko]

Parkgirl - Good luck with that bfp and enjoy your vaca.

Squirrel - Good luck with the Soy Iso and I think those beans were called magic beans.

I moved up my gyn appt to tomorrow and I have an appt with a fertility specialist in 2 weeks. I can't wait any longer. My periods make no sense and I'm impatient. I'm a little sad about the whole thing though

 

[LuckyD]

I am hoping to be joining you, I'm only 3DPO and know it's too soon to symptom spot, however I feel really different this month. My BBs are huge and very sore, I'm stuffed up and keep bursting into tears, also this morning my gums bled when I brushed my teeth which never happens. FXed!

J x

Fingers crossed for you JJay!!!

Squirrel- Let us know how the soy works out. I'm tempted to try next cycle.

I'm just waiting...stuck in the 2ww. Temps seem to keep stair stepping up and I've had a good deal of CM. I've already packed a FRER in my vacation bag. We leave Wednesday night and will be gone for 10 days.

I hope you have a lovely and relaxing time away parkgirl, and hopefully you will come back with some good news to report! Sounds good about the temps and the cm

Good luck Park, and have a great vacation! I'll be sure to report on the Soy.

Ok, really dumb question time... you know the story Jack and the Beanstalk... what did they call the beans... just magic beans, or what? That's what I want to call my Soy Iso pills....... lol...

Ha ha, you're funny! Yes, I think they were just called magic beans....hope that your new magic beans grow you a nice little beanstalk!

I moved up my gyn appt to tomorrow and I have an appt with a fertility specialist in 2 weeks. I can't wait any longer. My periods make no sense and I'm impatient. I'm a little sad about the whole thing though

Sorry you are feeling sad lovely That is good that you have moved your appt up, maybe it will feel positive to feel like some action is being taken? I wish you the best of luck


Thanks for all the kind words and congratulations ladies. It really, really means a lot. I love this thread - it's so supportive and it's so nice to have an understanding about what it means to be TTC your first when you are a bit older.

I am just wondering what you want to do about running this thread? I am of course happy to keep going but at the same time want to offer the opportunity to anyone else that wants to run it. Just so you know, the original person that started this thread got her BFP one month after starting it...I think this is the third month I have run it....so maybe it is good luck! Anyway, just want to put it out there. I can finish this month off and someone else can have a go if they want?? Up to you!


Thanks again lovely ladies

I vote for squirrel

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Maxxi ~ I have my FS appointment today. I hope that we both get a little relief from all the TTC frustrations by taking this step, but yes, it is really sad that we are both at this point in our journeys.

Hope you have a fantastic vacation ParkGirl!

I definitely vote for Squirrel too, if she would like to take it over. I think she would rock it. I'm hoping I'll manage to be on bnb a little less because I need a break, but this thread has really helped me out and I'm sure there are other gals that would appreciate it if Squirrel took over.

I'll be interested to see what they say to you today so don't go too far away!! I know what you mean though. I need a little break too.
I'm getting ready to leave for my obgyn appt so I can tell her about my FS appt in 2 weeks. Good luck!

 

[JJay]

Good luck for a vacation bfp Park Girl - your symptoms sound really promising

Sorry the witch got you squirrel girl but I know what you mean about a fresh new cycle, sometimes it makes you feel more positive. Love the Magic Beans

I'm feeling really stressed about the 2ww this time around. I feel dreadful. bloated and really sore BBs even though I'm only 6DPO and it's far too early

Maxxi and Jamie, I hope your appointments go well. Please keep us up-to-date. We have decided to wait until October which will be 12 months of proper timed trying and just after I turn 34.

BIG thanks to LuckyD for making me feel so welcome when I joined and doing a super job of running the thread. Remember to pop in and keep us up-to-date with your pregnancy - I want to know your baby name choices when you decide!

I will third Squirrel to take over - the Squirrelisms will keep me amused while ttc!!

[SquirrelGirl]

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! sniff!!!! That really made my day to come in here and see you ladies "vote" for me!! sniff!!!

After I read Lucky's announcement I was going to quickly say "Hey Lucky, I'll take over the thread since it seems to be rather lucky!" But then I thought it might make me look a little over-anxious! It's funny, I'm not a superstitious person about anything other than TTC!

But obviously we don't want to kick you out Lucky!! I would feel so honored to run the thread, but only when you're ready to pass the "lucky" torch!!

I can't wait to start taking my magic beans tomorrow so hopefully I'll have my very own magic beanie! lol! Maybe a whole stalk full of beans! Ok, ok, two beanies at the most, please! I'm not sure how I could manage triplets!!

Maxxi-- hope the appointments go well and you get some good answers.

JJay -- ugh, the 2WW sucks! The 1WW sucks! and the week of AF sucks! Oh... and the weeks leading up to O -- guess what, they suck too!!!! It's enough to drive you absolutely crazy isn't it!!! The only thing that helped me a bit was to remember in the 2WW you've done what you could and nothing is going to change it now. So may as well just try to not worry about it. Way easier said than done, but if that helps you even a tiny bit, that's all that matters!

Jaimie... can't wait to hear how the FS appt went. I hope the doctor was nice and actually listened!!!!! And gave you a good plan for where to go from here!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Congrats Lucky and Hippie!!! I couldn't believe what I had read!!!

Squirrel - worst case scenario it'll be a fall bfp free-for-all

Hope you don't mind that I stole your saying for my siggy! Love it! Fall is my favorite season of them all. I really enjoy taking a walk in the crisp cool air them coming home to have some warm apple cider. YUM! Perfect baby-making weather, I say!

Even better... we just installed a new fireplace insert over the weekend that has a clear glass door, so now we'll have a nice place to make a baby in the wintertime! (in front of the fireplace, not IN the fireplace! Our old fireplace insert had a dark door where you couldn't see the fire. Where's the romance in that!)

 

[LuckyD]

Aw, Squirrel! You are the perfect person to take over the thread, I am so happy that you are keen! You will be amazing x and I hope that it brings you lots and lots of luck

You can take over now if you want? You just need to take the info off the first page and start a new thread under TTC Buddies - Groups, then post a link in here for people to follow.

Oh 30-something ladies....it has been more than a pleasure. This thread has been amazing and it has been an honour and a privilege to share this journey with you. I will be checking in on you all and know that every single finger (and toe) is crossed for you all to get your BFPs really soon. Thanks for all the support, all the laughs, and all the understanding. I am going to miss you!! But will see you in First Tri very soon!!

Take care lovelies

 

[maxxiandniko]

I'm glad you're taking over Squirrel! And sure you can use my "fall bfp free-for-all" siggy. Maybe some of the luck you'll have from taking over the thread will rub off on me then! Fall's my favorite season too although I do lose DH to football (not always a bad thing

Bye Lucky and have a wonderful 9 months!

I went to see my obgyn yesterday who also recommended that I go see the fertility specialist. My appt is Aug 5th Let the fun will begin. I'm still a little sad about it. It is what it is though.

Hello ladies

The last 2wks have been a rollercoaster. It all started with abnormal pap smear results which almost stopped my heart from shock. I have never missed a pap test in the past 10 years so u can imagine the shock.
Anyway this was followed by a cervical biopsy and the results came back today.It looks like things arent so bad.

Since AF hadnt arrived and i was complaining of cramps,the gyn thought she would do a preg test just to try and establish the problem. And guess what,she was smiling when she came in the room holding that stick with 2 lines. So guys i have a BFP!!!! 5wks 5 days and i had no clue. Its a miracle.

 

[JJay]

Congratulations Rompy!!

Looks like this is one lucky month for this thread!

Spread some for the rest of us and hopefully we will all be chatting in the 1st trimester section with you, LuckyD and Hippie soon.

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hurray Rompy!!! That is fantastic news! Hope everything turns out fine with your biopsy. I can't imagine the mixed emotions you must be having.

Squirrel, so glad you are willing to take this thread onwards and upwards : )

Maxxi - I had super mixed feelings about seeing a FS but now that my initial consult is done, I'm SO glad I went! Turns out I have a very narrow opening in my cervix, which explains why I could never tell if it was "open" or "closed" and why I get very little ewcm. That combined with some male factor issues we have is probably decreasing our odds. My DH rides his bike about 5 miles a day and the doc asked him to stop doing that. If I get my period this cycle I'll go back for a blood test and an HSG. Hopefully the HSG will be enough to boost our chances, in combination with my DH getting off the bike. I hope your appointment goes well hon!

 

[parkgirl]

Great news, Rompy!!

OH WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really is raining BFPs!!!


What about the abnormal pap -- are they going to rescreen you? I had one once, and so they rescreened me in six months and couldn't find anything wrong. Scared the bejesus out of me though! So I can totally relate!!!!

edit... duh, you said that you had a biopsy... I was so thrilled with your BFP news, my reading comprehension skills went out the window!

I've heard good things about HSGs!! Will the HSG help with the cervix, or... is there anything they can do about that? I know HSGs help with clearing out the tubes, but that's about it for my knowledge!

Here's the new thread! Hope I got it right on who all had a BFP!

LuckyD!!! Thanks for much for keeping this thread going and making it so Lucky!

 

[JCfromKC]

Congratulations to Lucky D, HippieTea and Rompy! That's a lot of BFPs in a short amount of time!

Jaimie2Eyes, best of luck! That sounds really promising!

Wow, congrats Rompy! Certainly has been a rollercoaster for you! I am so glad to hear you are ok, and even more glad to hear that you have your BFP! That's amazing news, very happy for you

Jaimie, I am so glad that you are glad you went! And that is very interesting about the cervix - I guess that is really useful information to know. Hopefully you won't need it - but if you do, hopefully the HSG will make a good difference. I know that it has for others on BnB. And good stuff on your hubby getting off the bike...I have heard that ain't so great for sperm. My OH is a bike rider too, but not every day. So pleased that it was useful sweets - feel really hopeful for you
