Early 30's TTC #1

[MrsPTTC]

It's a partition of fibrous tissue that runs down the middle of your uterus. Just like the septum in your nose except they think mine is a small one and doesn't go the whole way down. It can cause miscarriages if the egg implants on the septum because the septum has low blood supply and can't properly nourish the baby. This is just suspition as nothing has been diagnosed yet, but I'm glad we're running tests.

Do you think you could have gone to work after? I hope your cramping subsides soon!!

Oh I've never hear of it, I take it's not common? Fingers crossed they get it sorted quickly for you

Yes I could've gone to work straight after but decided to keep my half day. x

Hi all

I have been keeping up with this thread, but didn't feel quite comfortable posting..

But I wanted to post now to say good luck to Rosa with the IVF starting soon! That's great your boss is so understanding and has given you some success stories for encouragement

Congrats to others with their BFPs too

And hi and babydust to everyone else

SUSAN! We miss you. Thanks for checking in on us. How are things going for you? 16 weeks already?!

 

[SMFirst]

Hi Rosa

Things are going ok with me - actually so little has changed with me (I feel fine, only hungrier) it's hard to believe this is actually real and going fine.. So many weeks just dragged on but now it feels like time is going faster.. We have a scan at the beginning of Sept, after which we'll allow ourselves to start planning..

One thing that has saved my sanity though is the fetal doppler - I bought one back in January off ebay and on days when I have been convinced it's all over, it's nice to use for reassurance.

Anyway, I'll keep checking in here

 

[rosababy]

Susan,

By start planning, do you mean are you finding out the sex? Yipppeee! What are you hoping for? Or maybe a better question is, what do you think it is? Boy or girl? I've heard of a lot of ladies getting a fetal doppler. I will probably end up getting one, also for sanity. Are they easy to use?

 

[SMFirst]

We won't be finding out the gender, but we keep thinking it'll be a boy. We need to buy a crib etc still and make a plan of how the sleeping situation is going to work..

The doppler is easy to use. But it only works well if you use a good amount of the ultrasound gel. We heard the heartbeat at 10weeks, which was nice.

How exciting SMF!! Congrats!!

DH and I have to put off TTC for one more month. I didn't have the heart to change my status back to NTNP. But we will be full force next month.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Congrats on 16 weeks, Susan!!!

Crumbs and MsJ- your charts look identical and beautiful!!! We're all pretty close on dpo with mrsmax and aisak right behind!

Hakuna- why the one month delay?

 

[hakunamatata]

It's kind of complicated. DH told me he doesn't want me talking about it, including to people online. Everything is okay though

A word of advice- some of them (including my dh) feel extra pressure if they think you're chatting with people and timing things. Just don't get on the forum when he's sitting next to you. Don't tell him super personal things that you read on here because then he will assume that you're doing the same thing. We used to argue about it before our last mc (I was told I was consumed ). Now he knows that this is a type of therapy for me and he's ok with it. I never talk to people IRL about ttc except the couple of girls that I know who have had multiple losses like me. He'll get over it! Just don't force the issue! - especially if he's already upset on month one!

 

[hakunamatata]

He's not upset. I don't mean to be mysterious but everything really is fine.

Hopeful I'm laughing as DH is sitting right next to me now whilst on the laptop in bed! x

 

[hakunamatata]

DH knows about BnB and he's totally cool with it.

Hopefully that will mean a few BFPs all in a row!!!

Hi Susan - was wondering how you were doing!! Happy 16weeks - that seems like it has flown past (probably not to you!).

Bummer about the one month delay Hakuna.

DH is sick this weekend so it has not been a great weekend - I feel exhausted and I am not the sick one (at least I am hoping I don't catch it ). I can pass on getting tonsillitis - ouch! So good thing I am past ovulation as there ain't any kissing going on at the moment.

 

[MrsPTTC]

at MsJMouse! I'm totally with you on that one! Wow yes both your charts are looking good ladies! Mine is a mess as I'm just starting to temp again now (except this weekend as I know I'm nowhere near ovulation & I am NOT waking myself early unless it is ha!) and I'll stop once ovulation is confirmed as I find it so stressful! DH and I said we were gonna be more relaxed this month and not use OPK's (for the first time EVER!) but after my HSG I'm thinking my chances are possibly better this month so maybe I should... I guess as long as we every 2-3 days it'll cover it, and I can tell by my cervix & CM when I'm about to ovulate anyway.. x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

MsJ- My husband has been super sick this week as well. It's been horrible. I'm also grateful that it's not o time! I've been sleeping in the guest room and haven't touched him since Monday. Except yesterday when I finally got a hug. He had a 101 (38.33) degree temp for 4 days! Poor guy.

 

[hakunamatata]

Hope your DH feels better soon!

Crumbs and MsJ- your charts look identical and beautiful!!! We're all pretty close on dpo with mrsmax and aisak right behind!

OMG, I've been so busy with birthdays that I haven't even had time to truly obsess about comparisons! This is so exciting :fx: BFPs for us all please!

Hopefully that will mean a few BFPs all in a row!!!

That would seriously be soo wonderful! A girl can dream!

MsJ & Hopeful, I hope your DHs gets better soon!

Susan, Go little avocado! Go, go, go! I hope your pregnancy continues to progress smoothly!

Hakuna, a month will go by in no time and you can get back to TTC mode!

 

[Crumbs]

I just checked your charts as well Hopeful and OMG yours is really similar too! I hope you all don't mind but I've added an overlay below:

On the left is mine & Hopeful and on the right is mine with MsJ!

I wish there was an option to overlay all of ours but my goodness, they're all very similar!

 

[hopefulmama2b]

I know! I woke up this morning and when I noticed the rise I was like, YAY!!!!! Now my chart is as beautiful as theirs. It's weird because I've been looking on FF for charts with post o temps that were as steady as mine and then I looked at your guys' and they both were very steady temps as well. Last night I said, I sure hope I get a little rise like they did and then this morning...Ta-da.

I figure if it doesn't work out this month at least I start investigating next month with the HSG. Crazy that I would be excited about having a cannula inserted into my cervix. Ouch! But it's for a better good!
