Early 30's TTC #1

[MrsPTTC]

Just rang the fertility nurse as it occurred to me they could know if I definitely ovulated if they give me another progesterone blood test. I really don't like the woman, not as much as I hate the FS, but I just think neither of them have any people skills or are sympathetic to our struggles. Anyway, she said "they don't do it like that" and just to ring when AF comes and she'll show the FS my charts. I warned her when I didn't ovulate last time I had a normal cycle so I'm not sure what she'll determine from it! x

 

[MsJMouse]

Glad to hear your 12week scan went well Mrs Max.

Aisak - so sorry to hear about your assistant.
Exciting to hear about your iui.

MrsPTTC - that nurse doesn't sound nice at all. Hopefully you did ovulate.

My ob appt today got rescheduled due to an emergency c-section. Also we found out my dad has cancer today

 

[mrsmax]

OMG - there is some bad news going around this thread - Aisak - I am so sorry about your teaching assistant. That must have been devastating. Hope you are holding up and able to focus on the IUI. Is this your first IUI?

MsJ - I am so sorry about your dad's diagnosis Is it very serious? I lost my dad to cancer when I was young and I know how very sad and scary it can be - sending loads of love and hugs your way

I just found out a lady at work (I dont know her, she works in a different office) lost her baby at 23 weeks, born prematurely. So, so sad. I think about Hopeful a lot too and pray she is coping.

MrsP - really doesnt sound like they are being very helpful. Grrrr. You have the patience of a saint!!

Rosa - yes, it does feel more real now, especially as I have come out the closet at work. They had all guessed though as I have been so sick and wearing seabands - but still nice to be open about it. I still worry that it will all go wrong, but trying to be positive and act like a "normal" pregnant person

Will start journal very soon

msJ, I about had a heart attack here. I read your post as YOU had to have an emergency c-section! Thank God you're okay. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. What kind of cancer?

MrsP, did they say why you're doing 6 more months of clomid before an IUI? That's an awful long time to do clomid...

mrsmax, it must be so nice to be out of the closet! I had to laugh, because over here (might be the same for you) it means you've told everyone you're gay. I was nervous until I got into my 2nd tri, to be honest. I kept saying I just want to be a "regular pregnant lady." I eventually got there. You will too.

 

[readyORnot]

Aisak I am so sorry about your assistant. Keeping my eyes peeled about IUI updates.

MsJ I am so sorry about your dad, my stepfather had bowel cancer 12 years ago.

MrsP thanks hon, and I hope that woman gets an attitude transplant sometime very soon...

Rosa, glad to hear Jack's been exercising loads!

Hi Teeshawn!

Crumbs, thank you - can't wait for your announcement!

Hope everyone else is okay too

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hmmm...so I may not have ovulated?! I don't think so!!!!!!!! x

 

[readyORnot]

[rosababy]

MRS P!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!

tell us more!!!!!!

 

[hakunamatata]

Congratulations Mrs P!!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ah thanks so much girls, love you all! I dont know but with potentially not ovulating I just felt like testing early to put me out of my misery. I've accumulated loads of tests over the years so I took an IC, faint line, then took a superdrug early test, faint line, then a FRER, evaporation line, then another IC, faint line. I was sure I had line eye but knew as I'd taken 4 tests unlikely. I rang DH but he was in the car with his car share buddy so I told him to ring me when he got to work in private. It wasn't very romantic as I just said to him there was no point in considering another holiday to turkey this year as I've just tested! He was like 'and?' I asked him if I should do a digi as I'm only roughly 9dpo & he said yes. So I did it! Couldn't believe it! So I text DH the pic, he's shocked. Very early days though & lines aren't thY strong, but FX'd for a sticky bean! x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Oh & I'm ok, been having horrible dreams since Sunday, bad stomach today & having a little bit of cramping, but I know that's normal x

 

[Regalpeas]

OMG


SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CONGRATS to Soleil and MrsPTTC!!!!





I am so happy for you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best news yet.

https://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-score010.gif


Happy and Healthy all the way through!!!

 

[mrsmax]

Mrs P How exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And at 9DPO too. Yes, cramping very normal - I had period type pains for a few days. Just enjoy your BFP - you testing to see it getting darker?

 

[rosababy]

I totally had af cramping, in fact, I had it throughout most of my 1st tri. Very disconcerting. Weird/bad/vivid dreams is totally a preggo symptom! I've had them since before I tested. So happy for you!!! Have you called your ob yet?

 

[Regalpeas]

RP - Sending motivation and esteem dust to DH! Rooting for you both!

Thanks he needs it!!!We need it!

Regal, thank you Hun, hoping your dh will see the light soon!

Thanks!!! I have the same prayer!

As for me...i'm super thrilled to announce that i've started a LTTTC journal. And by thrilled i mean pissed off and sad that i even have to type those goddamned 5 letters. Maybe it'll be like Murphy's Law and now because i've started such a journal i'll get pregnant *laughs so hard she falls off her chair*. Ahem.

Omg! I love your brand of humor Aisak! Hope you won't have to be in that journal too long. I fully intend to stalk.

Had my 12 week scan today and I was terrified but it went great!

Sonographer said it was the perfect baby, measuring a couple of days ahead. He/she moved lots and we got to see the feet and hands and everything.

Only downer (and there is always one) is that she thinks I should see a consultant at 21 weeks cause of my fibroids - she said not to worry I might just get some pain from them but shouldnt effect baby, but you know us LTTCer ladies!!!! Still, focusing on the positives. I didnt go for a Downs test, but she said even though I hadnt asked for one, she said the nuchol fold looked great and very low risk. Phew Will work out how to post photos soon!!!

Never ever thought I would get to today - it does happen ladies!!!!

Great news!!! Glad the scan went well. Fibroids are so pesky. Pray yours don't cause you any pain or alarm. So happy for you! I can tell you're beaming right now.

Hey i have been ttc for number 2 for 4 months now and i cant wait. i am 30 years old and how i wish they could just be twins so i dont have to try again for number 3

WELCOME!!!! Stay awhile! This is a great thread!

Hey ladies.

My IUI is booked for July 5, 6, 7 (depending on when i get a positive OPK). i start Clomid tomorrow.

It's been a difficult couple of days. My assistant (i'm a teacher) had to be taken out of my classroom by paramedics yesterday and she died shortly after. We had worked together for 3 years and were close friends. Needless to say i'm devastated.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this Aisak. Such horrible news. Hang in there. Praying for your strength during this time as I know it's painful for you. Your IUI is in the next few days. hope this is it hun!!!

Afm, not much to report. Doing good. Jack is moving a lot lately, which is exciting. Often, he'll put a foot or something right in my ribs and I'm like what on earth are you doing??

Lol Very active. Getting ready for when he gets outside, ya know.

My ob appt today got rescheduled due to an emergency c-section. Also we found out my dad has cancer today

I am so very sorry MsJMouse. Praying all goes well and that your dad makes it through and beats cancer!!!! I'm here if you need someone to talk to.


Crumbs-So closeeeee!!!!! Cheering you on. You'll be a mommy soon!

Jogu? Where ya been?

Everyone else and



Afm, not much just refocusing my attention on weight loss, career and home life. Yes I have my moments but there's only but so much I can do. DH has to get his sperm count up. If he doesn't try to fix it what can I do but pray for a miracle. Although, I have been giving him 2 of his 3 required fertilaid pills as of late. He's been good about it. Now I just pray he remembers to take them at lunch. Then I pray that they help his count. And as always I pray we get pregnant. So much to pray on. What else can ya do, eh?


Also, for those who celebrate, Happy Independence Day! Hope you're enjoying even though it's very hot. :/

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ah regal & readyornot Thanks chicks!

Glad to hear its normal, I just can't believe it. Not sure when to ring the dr's Rosa, I know they don't usually test you as home hpt's are so reliable, but they'll need to make a midwife appt. I need to ring the FS on cd38 to arrange an early scan, assume its to make sure there's no twinnies, though very little chance of that as they could only see 1 follie. Mrsmax when did you ring your gp? And where's these scan pics you've been promising?! Yes will be testing again until I''m happy with the line ha!

[MrsPTTC]

Regal fxd the vits do the trick for dh, does he drink much or smoke? x

 

[Regalpeas]

Does not smoke or drink. But he's been a couch potato for years...wears too tight boxers rofl...well sometimes I think he does and he uses too much technology which may have an affect on it. Really I don't know why his count is so low. The FS just said "many factors". They thought it was a varicocele but it wasn't. :shrugs:

Sometimes it's just hard to change bad habits. I know myself it's not easy to just fall into line of what's necessary for pregnancy. So we'll see.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Yeah it is hard, my dh came around eventually, but I guess every mans lightbulb moment is at a different point, hope your dh's is switched on soon! Lol x
