[BeachChica]

Hi girls :wave:

It looks like my post from last night did not save I am so frustrated!

 

[monro84]

Thanks Monroe, feel a bit numb for not working out what RPL meant, it's obvious. I am holding in to the it's bad luck until we know otherwise in the interest of staying positive. Dies the septate uterus show up on a regular US. c

It is rare for it to show up on reg ultrasound unless it is pretty big. You can detect it sometimes if it is big enough on 3d US I think but it is also rare to have a uterian abnomilie but I think more women have them but just don't know it because it has never given them problems. I had no clue and thought the dr was crazy for sugesting the procedure. I doubt that is what it is and it is what you probable think it is just bad luck and your next one is your sticky baby. GL

Your baby girl is lovely lady, so cute. I'm not sure what your story is, but I hope whatever surgery she needs goes well xxxxx

Elsa was born with a heart murmur and we've found out that she has a congenital heart defect - we're off to Great Ormond Street in the new year for open heart surgery

No date yet, I'll keep you all informed

 

[NewToAllThis]

Lady - sending you my thoughts and prayers for Elsa xx

 

[Sooperhans]

Hello girls, Lady yes please keep us informed, I hope everything is ok with you and Elsa, she is so adorable!

Cupcake how are you hun?

Ntat aw Milo is super cute! I would love to have a dog - plan is for a baby, then dog eventually! X

Beach, oh no I hate losing a post when you've written it out, grr. How are you? What was the gist of what you said?

Nicki, Lexi, Emme, Monro, Wookie, everyone...how are you doing?

I had my 2nd acu last week on the Thursday, well on the Wednesday I got the most horrific migraine, worst one in a long time. I told her about this and my blood tests, showed her my food diary...basically even though I keep biscuits, chocolate, crisps etc to a small quantity, she said I should avoid them....completely. So my instructions were to not eat anything apart from naturally occurring sugar, no food with artificial ingredients, eat as close to the source as possible, eat nuts and seeds....and no booze. Again I wasn't having v much but she said if I was serious about getting pregnant, that's what I should do. So I have been living like a saint! It concerned me that she said the pulse for my liver was weak and it's linked directly to the migraines and headaches too. I had needles in my neck, chin, waist, hand and foot and I must admit, the day after I was wiped out, but then I was still getting over the migraine too.

In dedication to the great work Thurl and Ntat have done, I've got back on my fitness pal, where I can track my food intake. I've been gymming too, so hoping to shift some pounds! And be in a good position for TTC.

After what I was hoping was ib spotting last week, turns out my body is having a laugh again, sigh. Felt like we had timed our bding perfectly but af arrived yday. Grrr....still got a clot but the blood is fresher and so far there has been a bit more of it, which I think acu lady will be pleased about next Thurs. I'm hoping this means next month will be THE month....!

Lots of luck to all those ttcing this month!!!!!! Xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey sooper

I'm ok thanks, getting there with healing but still quiet sore most of the time.....and still very very sad

In terms of snacking have you seen/heard of that graze box thing? I signed up for it yesterday in an effort to cut down on the chocolate I eat, they have a promo on at the moment to get 1st & 5th box free - the code is yum7.

Sorry the witch got you hun, hopefully the acupuncture will make nextonth your bfp month xxx

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Beech, grrrrr hate lost posts. I hope you're doing well.

Hi Soop. Oh wow your food diary does sound very saintly. Well done! However, I will give you the other perspective which my acupuncturist and nutritionist both advocated. They both were 'moderates' and believe in everything in moderation. My nutritist always said one or two glasses off wine a week was fine. My acu lady even went so far as so say it was not good for me to cut everything out totally. She was a big believer in looking at the 'whole', trying to create a happy body and mind, and said that having a little drink with friends sometimes was one of life's pleasures and that to indulge every now and then was fine if it made you happy. It is important to get enjoyment out of life and going without is not good for your qi if it made you feel miserable. She thought that totally cutting things out actually could make you tense and 'lacking'. I'm not saying she'd say binge drinking was good, def not, but that every now and then you should be able to treat yourself. So I'm just saying, keep up the good work BUT don't feel too bad if you have a little something nice here and there. Having written that, I really miss my acu lady. She was so lovely. I'm thinking of starting sessions again...
Oh sorry AF arrived by the way. But good positive thinking about next month!

Cupcake - sorry you are feeling sad Thinking of you.

Hello everyone else :wave:

Afm, about to sign up for a course to keep me occupied. Work have agreed to part fund me. Trying to decide how full on to go with the course.... Need to make up my mind tonight.
Also, did a pg test on Monday but it's still faintly positive. Hoping it will fade out soon...

 

[thurl30]

Soop sorry af got you It's really interesting to hear what your acu lady said, I am really impressed with your new healthy lifestyle especially the exercise that's the hardest bit for me What does the pulse for you liver mean? I'm on fitness pal too, it's really good I can't believe I didn't find out about it until a few weeks ago x

Nicki I agree with you not to beat ourselves up if we do indulge, I have cut everything out that I shouldn't have but I don't feel at all restricted which is nice, I think that means that I'm doing it now because I want to and not because I have to. How are you feeling now hun? I hope your tests go negative soon, do you know roughly when to expect af? How is the course decision making going? my course I told you about has just started and I am behind already x

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey cupcake, oh bless you...it'll take a little while, I'm sorry for how you feel, give yourself lots of time xx. Yes, I was looking on that graze site yday, thanks for the code. Are they worth the money? I know you get 2 free but they're about 4quid each aren't they?

Thank you Nicki for the context....I've cut the booze for now but she did say up to 1 glass a month, I prefer your lady at once a week, hehe! I will see how I go, but try not to be too worried if I slip up a bit. Ooh a course! Nice to have a challenge, hope it is enjoyable x Hope your test fades soon x

Thurl the way she explained it to me is that we have 12 pulses and they relate to organs. Stronger/weaker pulses tell you what areas are out of balance and need attention. The acu sends the blood to the areas that need it to self heal. The liver and headaches are linked and so hopefully they will improve. She also said to have the strength is vital to sustain a pregnancy etc. We'll see xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Well you get quite a lot of nibbles for £4 ish per box, I'm gonna see if it helps me cut out the naughtys x

 

[Ladyfog]

I used to do graze when I was at work - nice to have a healthy treat to eat at your desk

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks girls, trying to weigh them up against the cost of Holland & Barrett seeds! X

 

[cupcake1981]

I think H & B is probably cheaper, but at least with the graze you get variety every week x

 

[Nicki123]

Hey Thurl. I decided tonight - I'm going for the intermediate course. It takes 10 months, with one lesson and then self study each week. I am looking forward to starting now. I hope you catch up soon

Re AF, it usually takes 4 weeks once the test has gone to negative. I really wanted to go and see Prof Q once I'd had my first AF but sods law it'll be the right time around Christmas / New Year when I can't go!

 

[BeachChica]

Hi girls!
Just popping in to say hello.

Soop- sorry AF got you but I will be anxious to see how your Acu goes. And itch the super healthy diet I hope you will be on the way to your BFP.

Ladies - all of your dieting sound great! You are all doing so well with it. I used to use Fitness Pal too. It really made you think about what you were putting in your mouth for fear you'd have to log it!!!

Cupcake-hope you are doing well. I think this was part of my long post I lost, but to answer your question, the MCs do get easier the more you have unfortunately. With every subsequent pregnancy you are already on high alert about every little twitch so I think you're more prepared (mentally) when things go bad.

NTAT- Milo is sooooo cute!!!

Lady- thanks for checking in and keeping us updated on Elsa. When will she have that procedure for her heart?

AFM - AF arrived the other day, not really heavy but definitely bright red so I think this is my first normal AF after my MC. Trying to decide whether we will TTC this month or wait one more just to make sure everything is back to normal down there.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Beach I also hope it will put me on the path to a bfp. Sometimes I feel like my patience is wearing a bit thin! New month now, new opportunities. I'm so hoping the better af I just had and the acu make a difference. I would be tempted to TTC if I were you but see how you feel.

I'm not sure my 2nd mc got easier, but it was really close to the 1st one and it just felt like the nightmare was just continuing....bad times. Hopefully not to be repeated again xxx

 

[SATH]

Soops soz to hear af got you. How is your accu goin. Mine was sure i was gonna av day 15 now at day 17 still not but as longer as get longer lp. Im on all sorts of tabs too swear i rattle.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks Sath, I hope ov arrives for you soon in that case....I wonder how they can 'predict' it so specifically? Mine hasn't said anything like that, she just takes down my details. Tbh as it was so close to my migraine, the last session was very liver focussed. I'm hoping my next one this coming Thurs will be more focussed on ov'ing etc. What tabs are you on? x
