anyone due af around 7th august? 6BFPS!!!!!!!!!!!

[London Kiwi]

I worked in the NHS for years (left in April) and you are right... It's in dire straits!
So is your nearest hospital 45mins away Laura?
Mine is about a 15min drive (depending on traffic) so it's not too bad.

I have a friend in New Zealand who is 32 weeks pregnant, her nearest birthing centre is a 3.5 hour drive!

Maybe private isn't so bad after all Lucy!!

So I gave the Doppler another try last night and finally heard the heart beat! I'm 15 +3 so think maybe the baby was just too small or hiding previously! Only 6 days till we find out the gender 💗💙

 

[lucy_smith]

That's great with the Doppler!!

So on Monday we have a semen analysis ( hoping bf stopping smoking has helped) and an overian assessment and bloods ( thinks these are to check my ovaries, egg supplies etc.

Hoping to start getting some answers !

 

[London Kiwi]

Lucy they are all the first tests we got done too.
Yay that things are moving along for you, you will get some answers soon.
Men are so funny about their semen samples! My husband had to drive about an hour to the nearest drop off centre and literally go into the toilet to do the deed as it wouldn't have stayed warm enough if he'd done it at home and then took it - he was not impressed haha!

Yes unfortunately 45-50 minutes it will take. When i had my daughter my oh had to pay £70 for a hotel 15 miles away from the hospital and i went into labour 45 minutes after he got into his room. He was back in 20 minutes in time for my contractions getting stronger. Thank god he wasn't at home.

How exciting what do you think you are having. Im thinking blue because of how well you have felt. Great news on the heartbeat. Bet you was so happy. Ive got 12 days till my next scan. Not long really as i feel ive only just had the 12 week one. Times going abit quicker now. Are you starting to get a bump.

How soon will the results take lucy? Hopefully you will get the best care and the answers you need fast. Please update us and hope the tests arnt too nerve racking for you both. Xx

Dr has had to cancel appointment
Will need to rebook, but a few money issues have just cropped up so not sure I can re book the appointment right now

 

[London Kiwi]

Ah Lucy that is really crap. So sorry to hear this
The tests you were getting done I got through the NHS, is there anyway you can go to your GP for a referral do you think?

AFM...16 weeks today! Gender scan on Weds. Husband thinks a girl.... I thought a girl for the first 10ish weeks now I'm starting to think a boy. Only a couple of days till we know for sure!
I have the start of a small bump that has appeared... I've actually lost about 5kgs since I found out I was pregnant. I've been swimming most days and eating properly and obviously cutting out alcohol when I was quite the social drinker. I'm sure the weight will all pile on soon!

 

[lucy_smith]

I already have a referral, but it's going to be early October before I can see someone

Good luck with your scan, looking foreword to hearing what your having

 

[London Kiwi]

October seems so far away doesn't it

I'll give you my timeline so you can put it into perspective in regards to the NHS timeliness !

I had my tests done in October, a scan of my tubes and follicules in Nov, my laparoscopy in Feb (seemed like I was waiting forever for this) follow up appointment in March, pregnant in April.

Seems like a long time but once the process was underway it all happened within 6 months.

I hope you can find a way to resolve the money issues and it all works out for you soon Lucy

 

[London Kiwi]

We are having a... Girl! 💗

 

[laura109]

Aww congratulations i clearly am rubbish at guessing. They say you are sicker with girls so goes to show its not true. Little girls are amazing she will have so many beautiful clothes if she is anything like my little girl lol!! Does it all feel more real now? Cant wait for my scan Tuesday now hopefully its still a boy lol!!! You can shop now!!! Im going through a happy stage right now its starting to hit me now im getting near the half way mark. How are you feeling? X

 

[lucy_smith]

im soo happy for you!!

glad i logged in to see your scan went great!

 

[CowgirlBaby]

Fingers crossed AF doesn't show her face. I am 6 DPO cause my cycle was completely off this month. So fingers crossed for a BFP.

 

[London Kiwi]

Thanks Ladies!

Yes it does feel more real now that we know she's a girl. Isn't it strange all the old wives tales pointed to boy, I had zero morning sickness but a little girl it is. My husband thought girl all along!

Yay about your scan on Tues Laura, hope it goes well 💙

We have our 20week scan on 24 Aug. So I think we will confirm she's a girl again then buy some bits

Lucy - how did things go with you? Hope you managed to sort a few bits out regarding private and the costs etc. Thinking of you and your journey, it will happen! 💜

 

[romen]

I'm going loopy in the 2ww - due 08th August too when are you lovely ladies testing ?

Fingers and toes crossed for all xXx

 

[Milliezed]

I just wanted to say that today at only 8dpo I got the faintest positive line!
Sent the picture to my doctor and she sees a line too! I have an ob/gyn appt tomorrow, let's hope it's a sticky egg

 

[lucy_smith]

hi newbies!
this thread was made last year, your more than welcome to join us though! and i now find it funny that two years in a row my period is due 7th/8th august again! how strange is that???

and this has hit me hard, the fact that ive been on this thread for a whole year and still not pregnant

 

[London Kiwi]

Aww Lucy. Sending you a massive hug
It's not easy and I don't think anything anyone says will make you feel any better but I'm still here totally hoping that BFP is just around the corner for you!!
Took me 17 months to get mine... Incredibly frustrating!!

Welcome ladies! Hope it's a sticky bean Milliezed

 

[lucy_smith]

This month will make it 22 months now we have been trying, just feel like this journey is never going to end !

 

[laura109]

Aww lucy alot can happen in
6 moths. Keep going its not over yet. I can only imagine how it must feel though sending you love x

 

[lucy_smith]

7dpo and waiting
Going to try and stay optimistic!
