7DPO and lots of CM (sorry if TMI!)

[tinadecember]

Hey girls, back from my scan with good news!

The lady who scanned me was fantastic and talked me through everything that she could see. So she said I have a tilted uterus which I wasn't aware of, it's tilted backwards which she said wouldn't have any effect on me getting/not getting pregnant but it made it more difficult for her to see my ovaries so I had to have a dreaded internal scan.
She said my ovaries looked fine and there wasn't any abnormalities in my womb or pelvis. So I have nice healthy insides! Good thing really because we would've been fucked if there was a problem with me too!

I mentioned to her that we are pretty sure that we know what the problem is and I explained all about mark and she said that more often than not its the male who has the infertility problem. I was quite shocked at that part!

So we've got 7 more days until our results appointment. I feel ready to find out the next step of our journey now! Xx

 

[Bettyt63]

That's great Tina!!! Roll on your next appointment so you can hopefully get a plan put in place.
Edinburgh.... How did the cake making/decorating go last night??? Any sign of AF???

 

[ab75]

Thats good news, hope you can move forward next week.
Betty any news on your op yet?
Edinburgh, hope you're stress free today and got the cake made!
It is so hot today, I can't handle heat during pregnancy. Usually love the sun lol. Girls have their bouncy castle and paddling pool out so that should keep them amused xx

 

[Edinburgh]

Ab, I've just realised you're going to have 3 under 4. What's your secret energy source! The butterfly cake was lovely, glad I didn't go for the bus. I'd have been at it till 3am. As it was I turned in bout 11 and then finished everything else this morning. Still no af, feels like it's coming though so I'm kinda pissed I'm still off the wine! cd29 tomorrow. Have been 26_27 last 3 months. Not testing again till sat though! Right, off to bed. Gubbed!

 

[Edinburgh]

Caved and tested. Faulty test. Serves me right!

 

[tinadecember]

Was it a definite BFN Edinburgh? how long have you been TTC this time around hun?
Glad your cake baking went well! Rather you than me though in this heat, I barely tolerated sleeping last night it was that bloody hot! Felt like I was abroad haha

It's my last day in work today girls before I have 16 days off I was just saying to the guys in work that I haven't had longer than a week off work in a few years. Don't know what I'm going to do with myself!

Off to pick a swimming pool up after work which I've had to pre-order from the Argos because they're flying off the shelves as soon as they come in then I'm going to have a relaxing afternoon in the garden, possibly with a glass of wine to celebrate my little break xx

 

[ab75]

Enjoy your time off Tina, have a glass of wine for me.
Edinburgh, its not that bad, lol, I am lucky that I stopped working full time after Zara was born and now only work 10 hours a week. Used to be a Childminder so I am used to loads of kids, lol. This baby is my last tho. Too old and too many losses to go thru it again.
Sorry about bfn.
xx

Morning ladies. 30 DPO, no af, no positive. I'm about 3-4 days late for me, excepting that nightmare in Dec/Jan where I had an absent period for 3 weeks and then 5 weeks of bleeding. We've been back off bc since start of May, so I think this is cycle 3 and we had maybe 4 months TTc end of last year before we went back to the pill. Think my system is just messed up from the pill. I just wish I knew for definite where I stood. As and when AF arrives you're always up and on to the next cycle. Being increasingly late with no positive result is just infuriating. I spent a fortune at Christmas on various types of test so I'm adamant I'm sticking with the internet cheapies this time and only buying a digital one once I get some kind of line with the others.

Have a fabby holiday Tina, glad you got good news at the hospital. I have a tilted uterus too, it doesn't affect fertility at all though I think I read a while back that some positions are meant to make it easier for the swimmers to get where they are going, but I personally think that's folklore!

 

[Bettyt63]

Edinburgh.... I can't believe you're late! Have you tested again today??? When was the last time you tested??? I need to see photos! I love looking at tests, think I'm slightly obsessed!

Tina.... Happy holidays hope you thoroughly enjoy your time off work.

I'm hungover today, seriously think I need a big detox in my life! I have been really naughty with food and just eating crap so I feel really rubbish at the minute!

Want1, hope everything is ok with you, how is your little girl??? Sending you

Ps: everyone around me has either just given birth or announced their pregnancy.... Frustrated.com!!!

 

[friskyfish]

Hi ladies....So annoying, i wrote a massive post on here the other night and my bloody battery on my kindle went, just as i went to press post!! Arrrrghhh!!

Tina, great news about your scan, bet thats a big relief for you! You can have a really nice break off work now without any extra worry. I hope the weather stays nice for you!

Edingburgh, any sign of af?? I pray you dont have a repeat performance of your nightmare earlier this year, that was no fun. I agree with sticking the cheap tests, i wasted so much money every bloody month when i was ttc, its a dear do.

Betty, how are you doing? I remember the feeling of frustration & upset when everyone around me was falling pregnant, hang in there chick! Big hugs to you xx

Ab, how are you feeling? How many weeks are you now?

Ive been away from here as ive been really sick. Ended up getting admitted into hospital yesterday. Ive not felt really ill or anything, but ive not been able to keep anything down, not even water and the heat here has been unbearable. So on the 3rd day of this happening aaron rang the hospital who said i must go in.
Got hooked up onto a drip with fluids to re hydrate me, had anti sickness injections, but carried on been sick, so i had to stay in overnight so they could monitor my diabetrs and baby. I got home this afternoon. The doctor thinks its most probably the heat and the sun that has caused it, so ive got to be careful now.
On the bright side, i got to meet the lady who will be doing my C section, she was bloody lovely, so nice. She showed me around the ward and i met the midwives, so feel less nervous about all that part now. They measured my bump and were concerned as its only measuring 25 weeks and im now 30. But i have another growth scan on weds, so we will see.

The inlaws were down aswell this weekend, i only got to see them friday, so feel a bit bad and i missed them going home today. They bought us lots of stuff, we have our moses basket and loads of clothes and bedding. We finally got the pram too! Its all feeling very very real now, i cant wait xxx

 

[Edinburgh]

Morning all! Af finally showed up yesterday. But that's ok, got to have my wee glass of wine before the weekend was out it's still early days for us and I was just so worried about a repeat of jan. My friend is a nurse and said that sometimes when you start ovulating after the pill it can cause a late period so we'll see if things are normal again from now. She recommended ovulation prediction sticks to ensure everything is working again. I think we'll avoid fertile days this month otherwise shortie would be due in the middle of hubby's exams next year.
Anyhoo, how is everyone? Frisky that's awful to hear you've been so sick. Lots of rest missus. Let your boys look after you and baby fish.
Betty, there's not much to see on bfn! The dodgy one had the top strip of paper peel off and the whole thing turned pink! It was definitely dead
Back to work today. Euch. Need to work on winning the lottery!

 

[Bettyt63]

Oh god frisky! Hope you're ok.... Nothing worse than being sick in your last stages of pregnancy! I say put your feet up, get the fan on and suck on ice pops!! Glad you've got your pram sorted, what happened with your father in law??? Did you tell him you don't want the pram he was giving you??

Edinburgh, sorry AF arrived, that sucks onto the next cycle xx

I'm cd28 today, have pains in my ovaries so would imagine AF will be here any day, oh the joys!!!!

 

[tinadecember]

Morning girls, Frisky I'd seen on FB that you'd been in hospital. Can't imagine how you're feeling because I didn't really suffer with sickness much but like the girls said just rest with your feet up and let az run around after you. Your LO will be here in no time at all

Betty I saw some pictures of your little girl on FB yesterday, she's unbelievably beautiful! Has AF shown up yet?

I'm just on my way to town to find a dress for the races this weekend. We're off to Doncaster for a couple of days with friends canny wait! Back on my diet again aren't I! I've put 5lb on so I'm cutting out the bread and chocolate for a few weeks, it's killing me already! ! Xx

 

[Bettyt63]

Oh Tina.... Thanks, my little girl is a cheeky monkey!!! She is 3 going on 13! She's going to be trouble that's for sure
I'm so with you in the diet front! I daren't get on the scales I know I've packed on the weight as I've just been eating rubbish! Started 'clean' again today. Lemon and ginger water and scrambled eggs so far.... All I want is a bacon buttie!!!

This is my last week of being a lady of leisure, I start my new job a week today and I'm going to be working mon-fri eeeeeek!!! I'm still sat in my pjs, must move my big butt!!!

 

[tinadecember]

Ahh Betty working Monday-Friday is not good! Not gonna lie to you haha

Went all the way into town and all I came home with was a pack of 2 nighties from primark! Decided to go to our local retail park on the way home and ended up finding a dress and shoes! Happy days just need to pop out before Thursday for some jewellery and I'm done.

[Edinburgh]

[Bettyt63]

Oh I couldn't get into true blood! I watched the first series but I just couldn't stand that suki, she did my head in.....
Had anyone seen breaking bad? Supposed to be good, might start watching that!
