Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

I think def mention "why" you want the accupuncture, i personally would mention the losses, that its been a huge emotional time on your life and that you are ttc again soon.

 

[Mrs W 11]

I must admit I haven't mentioned the supplements I'm taking incase he tells me not to! Silly really as there could be a good reason not to but until I saw the difference the blood nourishing made to my af I wasn't 100% convinced acupuncture would work so wanted to try supplements too.

You will probably find they will ask you ALOT of questions munchkin! My acupuncturist knows everything about me haha! It's abit like therapy lol. I'd tell yours about the losses and say you want to ensure all is well balanced ready to ttc again and see what they ask. They will probably delve into your past cycles, the losses and everything.

Good luck, don't be nervous it's really worthwhile. Let us know how it goes! I'm off into my appointment now!!! X

well you definitely are not afraid of needles, munchkin! A lot of people avoid acupuncture for that reason but they are so teeny tiny that they are barely a needle.

I would tell about the losses and that you are ready to ttc. I'm sure he/she will ask tons of questions about your cycle. Once you get the ball rolling they should ask questions to get the info they want.

Went to a very nice 2 y/o birthday party this morning. Now Emily is having a tea party with her princess dolls. I'm debating if she needs a nap but think I will opt for an early bedtime instead....because I love early bedtime nights Gives me time to unwind and catch up on my tv shows.

Thanks ladies x hope your appointment went well.

Sig that sounds lovely, I love having a girl! I think if I'd just got boys I'd feel like I really missed out on all the girly tea party stuff and dressing up etc. Although I'm sure if I had a boy I'd feel the same but I never wanted just boys so I'm a lucky mummy!

Today on "what munchkins peed on" we're getting closer!



Usually I have a fade in pattern and early in the month there's barely a second line but this month it's going up and down, I'm sure there's not enough Hcg to be affecting it but I think my body's having a go at oving but not quite getting there. I'll test again at work and hopefully it'll get stronger or positive. This ones a bit stronger than 2 days ago so fingers crossed! I am still spotting a bit though but it's mainly beige mucous (tmi )

How's everyone else doing? Xxx

 

[Mrs W 11]

My first cycle after my mc was similar munchkin with lines fading in and out on opks a few times. I guess it is the hormones trying to regulate themselves and gearing up to ov. Hopefully this is it for you.

Day off for me and my little girly today so we are off to the library for singing and stories with a friend. I also love having a girl. I love the gorgeous clothes and all of the girl toys!!

Still got a really annoying tickly cough that I can't shift, annoying!! My af is pretty much gone now. I have been totally amazed by the difference in this months af and I'm certain it's done to the acupuncture, pretty fantastic. I was a bit disappointed last night as when I told my acupuncturist how disappointed I was to be on cycle day 4 he seemed shocked that we were expecting to be pregnant so soon. I know I'd told him we were already ttc. He said it was still very early after my loss (not really, it was early January?!!) and it can take a while.

Positives for not being pregnant this month.......
1) can drink wine and eat what I like, whilst not feeling ill over Easter
2) a January baby would be more practical than December as I'd like a vbac and we don't have friends or family nearby to have Freya when I go into labour so ideally didn't want them to drop everything and come down over Xmas
3) I can go to the in laws this Christmas as planned rather than be heavily pregnant, over due, in hospital or at home with a very newly born

Right, off for breakfast now. Happy Wednesday ladies xx

Morning ladies! We're off to see some friends today at their new house.

I would live a girl next but I'm so used to having a boy I don't know what I'd do with one.

I had a stark white hpt yesterday but still no positive OPK and I've been spotting since Saturday but that's because of my cervical abrasion. Annoying though.

 

[Munchkin30]

Mrs w I think you're perfectly in your rights to expect to be preggers by now! I'm expecting a magic baby from the acupuncturist love your positives. I've got another one....
When we both get our bfps next month (which we will) we can be bump buddies! Hope singing was good. We should do more at the library. We used to do singing but stories would be great too! xx

Button go on show us your opk!

Tell me more about the cervical abrasion x

 

[Munchkin30]

Just did another opk, still not positive I'm getting the nearly positive lines with fmu so maybe it is left over hcg??

 

[Mrs W 11]

I had lines on my opks for the whole of my first cycle, it was so confusing so I understand how you feel. Once af comes you'll have a much better base to start from. Speaking of which I must order a load of new ic opks today!

Yep I'm feeling pretty positive about this cycle, lets do it!! We should stay on the thread till we've all had our number 2s and chat on the journey!

My hubby is having acupuncture started from next weekend too as my acupuncturist said they like to treat man & woman ideally in fertility cases. We can claim money back through work so it make sense to do it really. Feels kind of weird that some random man is helping us get pregnant by sticking his needles into our skin but there you go! If that's what it takes, I'm there!!

It's a beautiful day!! We've been to singing and stories at the library, walked round the park, had our lunch and now thinking about going out for another walk! I love the spring and summer when the weathers nice. I'm hoping its nice for Easter so we can do some gardening and sit outside for a BBQ!

 

[Munchkin30]

That sounds lovely! It's gorgeous here too but I'm at work and we have no reporters so I'm putting a 3 hour show together on my own! Never mind, only another week here before I move on! It's interesting what you say about the acupuncture, the trouble is I don't think we have fertility issues other than my hirmones being cocked up after 2 pregnancys, which shouldn't really affect oh?? Of course id like to get pregnant quicker if it would help but we've got pregnant after 3, 5 and 3 cycles so I think that's pretty good. I'll see what she says x

I really wish something would just happen. I think I've just got to accept I've got no control over it and I'll get AF when I do. It's so hard though, I really need to feel like I'm doing something

I'm also having one of those days when everyone is pregnant or got a newborn. Had enough now!

 

[Button#]

Just got back from seeing my friends and one of them is 5 weeks pregnant with her 2nd, that was tough but I'm so happy for her. Just wish it was me too.

I didn't take a pic of the OPK, I'll have to post one next time I do one.

The cervical abrasion means I have uterus cells on the outside of my cervix or something like that. It's harmless but it means a lot of mid cycle bleeding especially after DTD. It's really annoying and some cycles I've had spotting from OV to AF. I'm taking B complex now just in case it's down to low progesterone as well.

 

[Button#]

Just for you Munchkin, today's negative OPK

[Munchkin30]

Thank you button love stalking wee sticks! It looks very similar to mine. Perhaps we're on a race to ov now?!? I was saddened by your photo bucket link that your latest pics are your bfp ones I'm always sad when I see my bfp/scan pics on my phone

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ooh an ov race, how exciting!!! You can be cycle buddies once you are ttc x

Wee watch - yup, neon yellow!! Crazy x

 

[Mrs W 11]

Oh and I'm cd5 and af is gone!! 14 days to ov, woo hoo x

 

[Munchkin30]

Yay mrs w, that will go so quickly. Don't know of it would be too much to see your actual neon wee?!? Cool though!

 

[Future-Sailor]

Hello ladies

Ive been stalking thid thread for a while and finally got thr courage to join in.

Were also trying for baby no 2 since September.:so far no luck.

-I think my body is still trying to reset after being on the pill.


This month had mid cycle bleeding...

 

[slg76]

hi future sailor. Glad you joined in!

Dd read me books for bed last night for the first time! She can't read of course but she describes the pictures and makes up text by mixing up parts of the books I read to her. So cute. She followed that u by being an absolute terror this afternoon. Can't wait to get her in bed and settle on the couch with a glass of wine. Hmmm, maybe ill just bring the bottle

 

[Button#]

I deleted all the BFP pics off my phone and I only use photobucket to put pics on here so I never really look at it. We definitely seem to be following the same pattern, I wonder if we will OV at the same time!

Mrs W- yay for neon yellow wee! I've got it too, makes me smile!

Hi future sailor.

Aw slg, I love it when Ashley reads his books. He's got such a fantastic memory and knows most of the words of his favourites. Love my little book worm.

 

[Munchkin30]

Hi future sailor! Well done for joining x lovely to have you here. How old is your toddler? Do you know the cause of the bleeding or is it just the pill issues? When did u stop the pill?

Sig that's lovely. My dd reads me stories sometimes, usually starts with 'once upon a time' and I gibberish from there on!

My opk was fainter again this morning and I'm still getting beige cm. so over this cycle now on cd33

Off to the acupuncturist today. Wish me luck!!
