Early 30's TTC #1

[hopefulmama2b]

I'm so pleased for you! Are they going to monitor you more closely this time?

Yep repeat beta on Tuesday and then early scan. FX.

So glad you got in some good bd-ing during the fertile time!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

A huge CONGRATS to Hopefulmama!! And no meds either! That is fantastic! As of tonight you will be moved from the "pray she gets pregnant list" to the "pray that this baby sticks and is healthy list" (along with Crumbs and a few others)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I just LOVE the family get-togethers and the food. I have spent a lot of time with my niece (she is just over six months old and the most beautiful baby I have ever seen!! [Maybe I am biased?!])

I am trying to stay positive still. I am 10dpo and just hoping, praying, pleading [well, I'm not quite there yet] that by some touch of fate me and DH have managed to do it all by ourselves this cycle. I've gone from being 40% hopeful that we have to 15%. But, hey, 15% is still higher positivity than I feel in most months! No spotting yet. I usually get a smidgin by night fall and by 11 dpo the spotting is here. I have created all sorts of scenarios in my head. E.g. we take a pregnancy test on the 30th and get to tell our parents on New Year's Eve that we're pregnant. Ahhhh..... If only....

MrsPTTC, I believe that it IS possible to O twice on clomid. I am fairly convinced that is what happened when we got preggo that time. So, fX'ed that this is your case and that you get your BFP in a coupl'a weeks.

Rosa, I KNOW that you're BFP is right around the corner. It has to be.

MrsMax, I am so sorry that you got the "let's pay a crap load of money to make a baby" news. But we will be in this together. I will be IVFing it in either Feb. or March, too. We really do seem to do things similarly, ay?! :wink wink:

The Holidays are about thanks and I thank the universe that I have ALL of you (the ones who were blessed enough to get pregnant already and those of you who are just a moment or two away from being pregnant) as my friends. You have made my journey so much easier. MUCH LOVE.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thank you Soleil, I am hopeful this cycle though we didn't BD all that much. But the FS said once every 2-3 days is enough, so maybe my DH will be better quality doing it every other day! When are you testing?

Hopeful I'm so pleased! When will you get your beta results?

Ladies I found this interesting article today https://www.independent.co.uk/life-...-desperate-couples-6281515.html#disqus_thread , it mentions that UK ladies TTC over 1 year are eligible to IVF (I thought it would be a lot longer) but a word of warning, some of the comments on the article are horrid - if we want children we have to pay and have just as much right to free treatment as someone who wants to look slim and prettier! x

Thank you and I appreciate the prayers! So nervous, but I'm trying to find that happy median between hope and reality. Thanks again, hun. I'm so excited that you will be starting IVF right around the corner! That's something great to look forward to and I'm glad that you and MrsMax will be doing it together!

Hopeful I'm so pleased! When will you get your beta results?

I just got them:
11 dpo=25
16 dpo=963


I glanced at the comments! Some people are heartless a**holes!

"If you are infertile and desperate, either adopt or see a psychologist."

Whether or not you agree with the National Health Service providing this type of treatment is one thing, but to be hateful as many of the people commenting were is just wrong.

SB, you're so sweet. I'm thankful for you and my 30s group too. I've been positive the whole time, but the 2ww really sucks it out of ya, doesn't it? Each day, that percentage goes down for me. I'm sure come Friday, my pma will be 2%. But thanks for your kind thoughts about my bfp around the corner. It's so scary to think of doing this all AGAIN. Would have been nice to have some frosties for back up. Oh well.

MrsP, My ob/gyn and RE said that 2-3 days is plenty too. I never really believed them, but I suppose they're the experts.

Hopeful, 263 is SUCH a huge jump from 25!!! I pray this is the stickiest little bean ever! I'm so happy for you!!! This thread needed some encouragement.

Afm, pma is slowly slipping away. Not sure why. I have some cramps, not too bad, but kind of af in nature, so that worries me. Friday will not come soon enough, and yet, I don't really want it to come. At least until then, I have hope that I will still have a baby with this cycle.

 

[MrsPTTC]

That's brilliant Hopeful! . Yes I did read that one, they make me sick! . They just take fertility forgranted, they wouldn't have that attitude if it was them in this situation!

Rosa I have my fingers, & toes! crossed for you! AF cramps can also be implantation cramps! GL for Friday hun.

Crumbs - I can't believe you are at 13weeks!! So happy that things appear to be progressing well. I bet you are excited for your scan! I love your signature.

I hope everyone had a great christmas. We had a pretty quiet one but I am so excited cause we just booked our overseas holiday for next year!! Something very exciting to look forward to.

Rosa - good luck for today (it is Friday arvo here). Hopefully you have some great news to start the new year with.

Soliel - hoping that you also start the year with some good news. Fx'd. Have a great holiday!

AFM - AF is due on 1st Jan (I think as I am not really keeping track). I have some cramps. Guess I will just wait and see.

Same to you Msjmouse! Nice to see you back! FX'd for you for 1st Jan! Are you flying overseas? I really want us to book to go back to Turkey in May over my birthday, but DH isn't so sure with the flying during pregnancy and then the sunbathing.... I've told him I can keep bump out of the sun if I even have one or are pg by then, but he's still not sure I just don't want to put my life on hold as I 'may' have a long way to go... x

 

[MsJMouse]

Yay for Rosa. 2012 is looking promising for us all with 2 new BFPs.

We have booked to go to Hawaii in April. Very excited. We have been planning this for about 8 months (needed something to look forward to) but we decided to wait till Christmas to book it so if we fall pregnant after we book it we can still go.

So maybe plan to go to Turkey but wait a couple of months to book it so you don't have to cancel if you do get that BFP before you go.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks hun. I have Googled but what have you read/heard about flying when preggo? I read up to 32 weeks long haul or 36 short haul. First 12 weeks has higher chance of MC but in most cases ok to fly.2nd tri is better to fly. Oh I don't know what to do but am dying to go back after our washout in October!! X

 

[Crumbs]

OMG! Rosa!!! I'm so happy for you and Hopeful! I'm seriously tearing up here! In just a few days I got to remove 2 names from my signature list!

Let the momentum continue!!!

And my NT scan went well at 13 weeks and 3 days, just made the cut-off mark! We told DH's family today! Soon we're going to announce it. I can actually say I'm pregnant now without holding my breath!

healthy, sticky, beautiful babies all around

 

[MrsPTTC]

So pleased your scan went well crumbs! Brill news, must be lovely telling everyone x
