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

[thurl30]

Hi everyone :wave:

Hope you're all having a good week

Thanks all for the messages and the advice,

My af arrived yesterday , and today is my first edd with pregnancy number 1, I feel ok just a bit empty, when I was going through it I did think abit about how I would feel when this day came, but I had convinced myself that it would be fine because I would be pg again by now

I have got a good weekend ahead though, and apparently the weather in the UK is going to be lovely, it's forcasted to be about 29c where I am tomorrow

Wishing you all a lovely weekend xx

 

[Nicki123]

Sorry AF arrived Thurl. And big for your EDD. It must be so tough. I'm glad you have a lovely weekend lined up, enjoy it. And yay for lovely weather!

 

[wookie130]

, Thurl. That's always tough. My 2nd EDD is coming up in October. My first was on Valentine's Day or this year. Stay distracted, and be good to yourself.

 

[Ladyfog]

Thurl, chucking you some hugs for your EDD . I know how you feel - was just recovering for MC2 when my first EDD came round. I felt much better once the milestone had passed - hope you do too.

Sometimes it helps people to keep busy, others like to light a candle or something similar just to remember the baby that could have been

 

[ayclobes]

Thanks ladies! I'm so relieved to be in the 2nd tri, i never thought i'd get there..but now that i am its flying by! things are going well, but im not to thrilled about only gaining 15lbs :/ oh well.

Any new updates? GL to everyone who's about to O, already Oing or is waiting to test! i remember how nerve racking it was! and baby dust! for some reason the emoticon things wont show up when i try to use them...

 

[BeachChica]

Morning ladies! :wave:

Nicki - Make sure you def do it today and tomorrow!!!

Thurl - those EDD's are definitely tough. Sorry about AF but onwards to next month. I will definitely be interested to see how your chart looks.

AFM - I feel fine, but its still early for me. I have a big exam next week (taking the first of the 4 part CPA exam) so that has helped keep my mind off of beng pregnant but getting up in the middle of the night is making me really tired when I need to concentrate on studying... I guess we'll see how it goes. I have my next ultrasound and doctors visit on the 23rd so I am looking forward to that.

 

[Emmediva]

Nicki, yup we do some crazy things to get our BFP, I'm reminded of that everytime I see my mini Pharmacopia on my night stand I am going to give the stuff away, don't want to trash it since its still good.

Thurl, lost EDD suck big time it's like all the memories come flooding back, I agree with Lady, take time to yourself, allow yourself to grieve and if needed light a candle for the beanie we're here for you. Enjoy your weekend

Beach, glad to know all is ok, good luck on your exam. I was told to limit fluid after 7p.m. and that would lessen the trips to the toilet at night, it didn't work for me but it may work for you? Is the 23rd a regular check up or ultrasound? I have one on the28th but it's just a regular check up, boring

 

[monro84]

Nicki--Well my test came in wed (I was hopeing the estimated date was Fri but nope they had to be early this time) and tested pm then. Yeah I know way to early I was 5dpo, 6dpo am and pm neg, 7 dpo (today) am neg, still way to early . I have have spurts of nausa yesterday and this morning, and some low cramping for about 5 min early this morning. I usually get a temp dip the day I implant so I am waiting for that hopefully tomorrow..

That is great bd times. I wish I was able to get one more in last Fri then that would have been great. Yours are great I bet you will catch that egg. GL baby FX For both of us.

Emme--Things are going good the progestrone symptoms has got me a little messed up not sure what are and whats not, hunger, nausa, tired, and a wetness kind of feeling down there (tmi). Hope all thats good. I did the pillow thing last Thru. night and fell alseep and woke up at 3 with a neck ach since it was my sleeping pillow. lol

Thurl--I am sorry af found you but I am sure this cycle will be better. You said opks did not work for you do you have pcos? When I started using them I did not think they worked for me either but I have a quick lh surge so I had to take them about 4 times a day to catch it. Have you tired that? At first I was using answer strips opk (they come with a great pee cup lol) and it would not get dark enough but I would get a temp rise so I testd more often and finally got it cause the next test it was back to neg. Now I use the IC opks that are 50 for like 9 dollars and come with 10 htps I think they are wondfo I get them off amazon they are blue handle with LH all over the handle. I think they are more sensitve than the Answer opks. I had also gotten a pack of smilie faces opks and confirmed it with those. Just a suggestion?

So sorry that af came during your 1st edd. I know its hard. But I bet this cycle you will get your take home baby.

Beach--That is great to hear. GL with the scan .

 

[lexi374]

Just popping on quickly to chuck thurl some big

Was this cycle anovulatory?

Afm my prgnancy pillow arrived today its a comfort u pillow and its massive dh is gonna have a fit when he sees it!!!

 

[BeachChica]

Thanks Emme - I will try to cut down teh fluids after 7pm and see if that helps. The 23rd I have an appt and an ultrasounds I am going to insist on them ever 2 weeks until I get to 12 weeks because this is my critical time.

Monro - I was VERY watery down there this month after O. Check out my chart, I had to add it as a symptom under custom data because it was so odd. I hope its a good sign for you this month too!

 

[thurl30]

Thanks everyone I had a lovely night out last night with some friends and family, we had a few drinks and a meal, then when we got home dh and I lit a candle in the garden and has some thinking time, and then blew it out together, it was lovely, thanks for suggesting it

Monro I suspect I might have pcos but it hasn't been investigated yet, I plan to visit my doctor in September when I have some time off work. My temp is all over the place already this cycle, it has rocketed this morning with no logic to it, although I was quite tiddled last night so can that affect it? I will perservere with the opk's though, will have a look for the ones you mentioned

Beach good to hear you have an ultrasound coming up, there is so much coming up I need to wish you luck for

Lexi I don't think I did ovulate last cycle, I know FF said I did and I did believe it for a while because I had taken the soya, but there never really was a solid shift on my temps so I don't know I just spied your ticker saying 21 weeks and I was like what?? I know we saw your 20 week bump pic but I hadn't registered how far along that really was, congrats on becoming a banana

It's so hot here already, it's only 10.50am and it's already 26C I'm going to a carnival today, and then I have an evening to myself while dh goes to a local beer festival with the lads Whatever you are all doing this weekend have a great one

 

[lexi374]

Thanks thurl, time is starting to move a bigt quicker now.

I said to dh we need to start moving forward now and thinking a bit more positive. He told his kids last night, well 2 of them the eldest was at a party hes 18 and prob not bothered either way, next is boy 17, he got picked up 1st and was told first so he was happy about that, then girl 15, 16 when this 1 comes along.
I thought she might be a little put out, i think she was a bit surprised and when he said it was a girl she said no its not!! She didnt believe him at first, i think she was ok though just surprised. They are all almost adults now anyway i dont suppose they are that bothered got their own lives to lead.

I bought my first baby thing this week a 3 pack of sleepsuits from next bright pink and navy spots and stripes. Not gonna go mad though, just gonna but vests and sleepsuits until after she's here.

Thurl i looked at your chart and i dont think you ovulated last month, your post ov temps werent really any diff to your pre ov temps. Stick with it then you can show your doctor if they are interested in it. I definitely think you should go and have a chat with your doc.
And alcohol will throw of your temp.

Hi to everyone else

Soop are you ok? Havent heard in a while?

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls :wave: Well just got through a full day of studying, 5 more to go!!! Ugh!
I started to feel a little off today, maybe slightly nauseous with extra saliva pooling in my mouth. I have never had this with the other pregnancies so I hope it's a good sign although I am not looking forward to MS if this is the start of it
How is everyone else doing? Anyone testing soon?

 

[Ladyfog]

Lighting the candle sounded lovely Thurl, glad you and DH did something that rembered you little angel in the end and that it helped.

Beach - that sounds like MS to me It'll get worse but it's not always terrible for everyone. I just felt like I had a hangover for a few months! It's the one time I'm pleased when someone feels crap!

Lexi, if you need any advice about what to get ready for your little girl then let me know - welcome to Team Pink! Newborns need very little and we've been given and handed down so many clothes we really didn't need to buy much ourselves.

Hope everyone else is OK. It's so hot here! Went to a BBQ yesterday and got so sticky! Just hiding inside with a fan on today - breastfeeding in 30 degree heat is not recommended!

 

[Sooperhans]

Hello lovely ladies....sorry have been a bit off the radar...Lexi a girl, that's such good news! Soooo excited for you. And your dh's kids will get more and more excited I think, it's prob not 'cool' to be outwardly excited yet, hehe. Bless, your bump looked super cute!

Beach, it all sounds good to me, well done for pushing on the regular scans, I have goosebumps thinking this is it for you....so so excited

Thurl, big big and Emme too for your edds....I think mine sent me a bit mad, so I know how hard they are.

Lady, Elsa is totally gorge and it sounds like you are doing a fab job keep the updates coming

Never, I feel so emotional for you, all the congratulations and best wishes in the world, I hope you are getting on really well with the scrumptious Louis. Well done on getting there, you and the other ladies at the other end of the journey are an inspiration xxxx

How are everyone else? Has anyone heard anything from Patiently? I just hope she is ok.

Well afm....I've been on my month off and had the odd bd that may or may not lead anywhere....one was on cd14 or so, I don't know when I ov'd but will see if the old witch turns up by next weekend then may test. I've been having all sorts of thoughts, one being maybe it'll never happen and maybe I'm not responsible enough or maybe I wouldn't have the energy to do this, I don't know....defence mechanisms I think, to protect myself after trying for a year with nothing to show. It's likely to not be this month, although my boobs are super sore, but it could be the progesterone that I'm still taking, who knows. But will see on holidays.....2 weeks to go until Corfu! xxx

 

[Nicki123]

Thurl, Lighting the candle sounded like a lovely moment to share with DH. Im no soy expert but your plan sounds good and it's great that you are temping so the other ladies here can give you advice.

Beach, good luck with the studying and your exams. Hope the ms doesn't interfere too much

Monro, anymore testing?

Lexi have fun buying the baby gear - its a big step to take isn't it but it has to be done at some point!

Soop - I'm really hoping your sore boobs are a good sign! But if not, make sure you make the most of your holiday and enjoy some sangria etc in Corfu. Lovely sunny holiday the thoughts you are having are part of the ups and downs (more downs than ups unfortunately) that come with ttcal, it's really hard to keep the PMA all of the time isn't it.

Hi everyone else!

Afm, 2dpo here (or poss 1dpo). Have done quite a bid of BDing at the key time, was going to try a Sunday morning roll today but it's too hot and sticky! So we will fit one more go in 'just for luck' this evening when it has cooled down a little. Off to a friends BBq now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone x

 

[Nicki123]

Ps meant to say, Soop I have kept in touch with Patiently and she is fine. Don't think it's my place to say more, but no need to worry and but Im hoping she'll make a return to BnB soon. I'll tell her you were asking after her x

 

[ayclobes]

lexi - yay to team pink!

I should be able to find out what this baby is in 5ish weeks or so, i'll find out at my next appt when the gender u/s is. But, i do feel its a boy..we will see.

Has anyone who's expecting tried the baking soda test? i think you can try it when you're over 11w..im not sure. but you pee in a cup, and pour some baking soda in the cup. If it fizzes up its a boy, if it does nothing its a girl

I have PCOS, and it was very exhausting to say the least. Our last pregnancy ended in a mmc due to abnormal chromosomes and I needed a d&c (we got pregnant w/o fertility meds). This pregnancy I was on injectibles and baby is still going strong!

anything i've missed?

 

[wookie130]

Well, I'm glad you've kept in touch with Patiently, Nicki. I've been wondering about her!

Soop! Good to see you! Best of luck this cycle!

Beach- Good luck at your scan!

Ayclobes- Keep us posted on the gender!

 

[BeachChica]

Wookie - Happy 10 weeks!!! How are you feeling?
