A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Emmediva]

Lexi, hope everything looks fine tomorrow! Good luck, everything crossed for a good visit for you

Soop, good luck testing tomorrow! Crossing my fingers for you!!

:wave: hi to everyone else, hope we get more BFP's ASAP, that would be totally awesome!!!

Afm, I was craving Chinese today, went and had some yummy Sushi (no raw fish), crab legs and some boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce. It was so good while I was eating it, but as soon as I was almost done, I started getting nauseous and threw up as soon as I got home, ughh nasty, nasty. I feel much better now though.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you everyone. Cb digi says bfn.....might try again mid-week but feeling sooooo disappointed. Did the test at 3.44am as busting to go, then couldn't sleep. So tired and frustrated Oh and meant to add constipated and bloated to the s&s list, so if I'm not pg then I'm just broken...x

 

[lexi374]

Soop digis are crap get a frer or asda!! FX for you x

Im nervous and so annoyed as dh kept me awake with his snoring, i feel so tired and angry right now!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Lexi - I thought as I'm cd29 that it might pick something up, even if not that sensitive. Last couple of months AF came on cd33/34 but I'd convinced myself that cd29 would be late enough. I've got one last Superdrug one, may try that next. Haven't got an Asda that near me. We'll see. Got really emotional and dh said all the right things and it made me even more emotional!

Sorry you were kept awake...I hope that you have a great experience still despite that and looking forward to hearing about it hun xxx

 

[Nicki123]

Ah Soop ... So sorry, a BFN is like a kick in the stomach. I'm not giving up on you yet though as your symptoms are good and like others have said digis can be rubbish. So glad you have your lovely DH there to say the right things and look after you.

Lexi thinking of you all day x

Hi Emme, feeling sick is crappy but a good sign!

Patiently, so glad that it looks like you were worries for nothing over the weekend. I can understand why you'd jump to conclusions given the rough time you've had recently, but so pleased that it looks like everything's OK. I know it's frustrating having to wait, but having a baby with someone when you're both in a good place is so much better than just getting pregnant as soon as possible. Whatever happens with your next pregnancy you will need lots of support along the way and it's so much better when you're both ready to go through the rollercoaster again

Lexi - good luck today, hope your scan goes well

Soop, sorry you got a BFN, but if you normally have longer cycles in theory you won't get a positive until the day you miss your period - especially with a digi. Try to be patient if you can and wait a few more days - FX'd for you!

Hi everyone else - Niki, glad you had a nice relaxing weekend Hope everyone else had good ones too.

I've just been to antenatal aqua aerobics and really enjoyed it! Now I'm off work it's so nice to be doing some of the things I haven't had time for before. I went with the girls from my NCT class - so glad I did NCT as have already got some really good friends ready for when the little lady comes Going to have some lunch and then tackle my tax return!!

 

[BeachChica]

Misswish – Good luck with your scan! Where is your ticker!!!

Oh patiently – I am so sorry for everything you are going through. If you are still feeling uneasy I would keep an eye on him. Maybe count the condoms etc. It’s terrible to be this way but just in case. He has definitely been a strange bird for a while and your intuition has been right about other things.

Sooper – I am anxiously waiting for your testing!!! You should use first morning urine. Your symptoms sound VERY promising!!! Just wondering... did you have sore boobs before O? Mine have been sore for a couple days now but no sign of O yet.

Notooptimistic – your symptoms sound really good too!!!

Emme – so glad you are feeling

Lexi – good luck for your appt today!!!

Lady – so glad you are enjoying your time off before your LO arrives!!!

AFM – CD16 today. I should have had last night to stay on the every other day plan but I was so tired I just couldn’t muster up enough energy. I definitely need to do it tonight because O should be here any day now and I have started to feel some twitching in the area where my ovaries are. has started to feel a bit routine with all of this trying, how do you girls keep it from feeling like that? I know I need to get home today and get DH in bed but I don’t want him to feel like we’re only doing it because it’s that time (even though it is)

Hi ladies sorry to post so late was waiting for ages for bloods then went to see my parents, and just trying to book a couple of days away. The weather in the east looked a little better than the west so we are gonna go to margate tom til turs, bit of sun and sea air will do us good!

So had the scan and everything looks fine! Measuring 12 weeks 3 days, edd 28th dec! NT measurement 1.6mm. They said if there is something wrong with bloods i will prob get a call by the end of the week. Will try and post a pic in a bit. Still cant believe we are here, thought this day would never come.

 

[lexi374]

Spoiler

Boy or girl????

 

[Ladyfog]

That's great news Lexi - So pleased your scan went well! And this time next week you'll be in the 2nd trimester!

Beach, we just tried to mix it up a bit and were open with each other about the fact that sometimes it would just be functional - especially if we were tired. I've joked before about fitting in a 5 minute quickie before dinnertime, but I really think it got us through. It meant that we'd have some quality more romantic sessions when we felt up to it, but it took the pressure off when we both couldn't be bothered, but still wanted to make a baby. Hope this helps!

 

[Nicki123]

Lexi I am so so happy for you!!! I have been checking this thread anxiously a few times today. That is amazing and the scan is so clear. You have really given me renewed hope that I will get there one day too so inspirational.

Can I ask, did you do anything differently this time that you think might have helped? Aspirin, progesterone, diet, etc etc? I think I joined BnB about the time you'd have got your bfp so I don't think I was around in the run up to it. X

 

[lexi374]

Ah thanks hun

Yep this time i was on steroids and progesterone from bfp to 12 weeks, and i absolutely believe without those meds this would be miscarriage num 5!

After my 3rd mc i did lots of investigating and heard about nk cells, i emailed prof quenby and had the uterine biopsy, and she told me the results were high. Upper end of normal being 5% mine was 10.2%! Without her help id have got nowhere. I must email her and tell her the news actually!

My gp and the nhs have been pretty crap in my experience, they dont really believe in this at the moment, and my gp was particularly obstructive and wanted nothing to do with it.

Any more ?s feel free x

 

[lexi374]

Also taking pregnacare plus omega 3 and vitamin d3 x

 

[Sooperhans]

Lexi...absolutely over the moon for you! Your pics are gorgeous!!! Errr...I think girl! I'm going to take a note of your extra vits and maybe stock up, well done though, bloody fantastic news xxxx

Thank you Nicki, Beach, Lady xx Lady - I used to be bang on cd29 each and every month, so in my mind I still see myself as a 29 day kinda gal....Beach I think it was a little after o but it has been well over a week and at times almost agony! Just sore ATM. Pleased yours are sore too, as strange as it sounds!

Well I've had to leave work and am on my way home now. My head is actually killing me, my whole head is just pounding So much so I feel all wobbly and sick. It has been coming in waves and then easing off, only to come back. I haven't slept well but I think it could also be the progesterone? Or me stressing out?? I have also been working late hours.

Beach- with the fmu, does it not count if it's more in the night, like when I did it at 3.20am? I hate testing now - just really don't enjoy the process! Xxx

 

[Nicki123]

Lexi I have heard about high nk cells. My mum (who is an avid collector of 'useful' articles from her women's magazines and day time tv!) saw a segment on this morning about it, which said this test wasn't available (or offered) in the uk but you could send off to the USA for it. Where did you get yours done? I don't know much about nk cells and wanted to ask you all about it but didn't like to until you got your good news! I heard its pretty treatable, is this what the steroids and progesterone were for?

 

[Sooperhans]

Oh and Beach - about the whole how to keep it fresh, any time when I knew we had to do it, I'd not mention anything at all about the fact we were trying, but tried a few naughty "suggestive" texts about an hour before getting home from work, worked a treat, lol! I found it easier to go straight up rather than do dinner and normal evening things and then try. Give it a go. If you get home first (I don't), then all the better! You can ask him what he will want you to wear etc. And then you still have the evening!!

 

[lexi374]

Beach we had loads of quickies just to get the job done!

Soop thanks hun, i think girl too. Ive had lots of headaches too, im keeping my fx for you, as you dont 100% know when you ovd you could still be too early.

Nikki, they wont offer it to you on the nhs, the doc i saw at rmc just fobbed me off. I emailed prof q, and paid £260 to have the biopsy done. It was at coventry in an nhs hospital by her and she works for the nhs, but the test isnt available on nhs, iykwim?

None of my pregnancies developed past 6 weeks before.

Basically everyone has these nk cells they help fight cancer etc but when you have too many in your uterus they attack the baby thinking its a foreign object/cancer and destroy it. Nice eh?! Anyway the steroids lower your immune system allowing your body to accept baby. The progesterone helps my short luteal phase also helps the pregnancy and i think does something else about nk cells cant remember!?

When i was on steroids i had 2 doses of impetigo and 2 sick bugs!! And im never ill and i work in a nursery! So i think it did the job!

There is a doc on harley st thats tests via blood but the uterine biopsy is supposed to be more accurate.

[Sooperhans]

Thanks for explaining the nk cells Lexi... I hope everything now will be smooth running. With your headaches, what kind of headaches? As in front, back, all over and was it sore or pounding? Just out of interest....

Also, are you showing yet? And will you find out the sex? A little girl or boy would be lovely I'm sure. And good for you for booking some time away.

I know, as I haven't got an ov date I don't know for sure. May try an early test tomorrow, then wait after that. For now, im going to try and sleep this off. I dont want yo touch ibuprofen, just in case x

 

[lexi374]

My headaches mostly came on in the afternoon and were really bad (banging) by the evening. They were at the front.

I think i will find out, dh prob wouldnt but i like to be prepared, besides we are both crap at making decisions so we need a head start otherwise itll still be called baby on its 1st bday! Lol! I dont mind either way, i know every1 says that but i constantly change my mind so i think ill be happy whichever way it goes.

Not really showing just got a little podgy belly that i cant suck in anymore, look like ive had a few pies recently. Will have to get some new tops, all mine are quite fitted so just look fat!

 

[lexi374]

12 week bloat i took this sat am, its twice the size by bedtime lol x
