Early 30's TTC #1

[hakunamatata]

hello ladies i really need to speak to someone this morning. my af is due in 2 days and i have just did a clearblue pregnancy test and it says that i am 1-2 weeks PREGNANT!!!!!!! could this be real? or could it be faulty? i still have period symptoms like sore boobs, low abdominal pain and a bit of back pain... what advice do you give me ? should i rely on the test?

Yay for a BFP!!!!!!

 

[rosababy]

Yay for bfps!! Congrats, ladies!

I'm back from my vacation, relaxed. Af is due to start this week sometime, maybe next Sunday. Then, I start ivf. Yikes! But I'm excited!

Does anyone else feel bad that they're pulling away from friends who are preggo or have babies? I don't mean to...in fact, I feel terrible doing it. But I just don't want to be around them right now. It's just too hard. But I don't want to lose them.

Yep I feel quite guilty about it as I have a good friend who found out she was pregnant just weeks after my MMC and I just can't bring myself to go and see her at the moment. I know that once her baby is born (in October) I will have to go and see her but it just hurts too much to listen to her talk about her two kids and her bump at the moment.

Wow things are really moving for you - I really hope it all works quickly and you get your BFP Rosa.

Congrats on the BFPs Isabel and Joeybrooks.

Happy Monday everyone. Yay for a short week - day off on Wednesday

 

[hakunamatata]

Good luck with the IVF!!

I noticed a very pregnant woman at work today and it made me positively green!! I also get tired of the Facebook updates.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Congrats to all of the new BFP!!!

Sorry to hear of those of you who started new cycles.

Hakuna- welcome to the oh so glamorous world of TTC. I'm sure it's exciting to finally start trying.

Crumbs- Love the etsy buys!! I've been tempted to buy for myself, but haven't done it yet.

Rosa- It's almost time to get the party started!!!

Aisak- hope the lab goes well, hun.

Regal- Hang in there. It's a crappy vicious cycle, but we gotta do it.

MsJ- See you shortly in your journal...

Pink- congrats once again!

MrsMax- Good luck on your interview. I had to take a little break too and honestly I've been feeling pretty good this month. I hope it's the same for you. Looks like O maybe today? Onto the 2ww it's always nice to be in those two weeks with you! Although I'd much rather be staring at a pg ticker with ya! Soon enough... xoxo

MrsPTTC- good luck with your HSG!!!! This Wednesday? FX!!!!!!

Arienne, Piccolo, Soliel- hope you lovely ladies are doing well.

AFM- FS appt on Wednesday to discuss my losses and everything else. Looking forward to it!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thank you hopeful! Yes it's on Wednesday and am strangely looking forward to it! Hope I get some answers! And good luck to you on Wednesday and hope you also get some answers!

Congrats on your Joey!

Rosa - Hope you enjoyed your vacation! Sooo exciting that your IVF is getting nearer! Yes I have found I stay away from preggie friends too. I am so glad that 3 of my closest friends had their babies early this year - they were pg a few months before we started TTC - I couldn't bear it to see their growing bumps at this stage of me TTC. I do have another close friend who's pg but I don't seem to see her as much now she's got her BFP, but it's not on purpose, she just doesn't go out as much.

Yay to Hakunamatata no longer WTT!

Well it's official, DTD last night, used Preseed and an Instead cup. My ticker says it's too soon but I honestly think I O around CD11 so I figure it is still within the realm of possibility. We are taking tonight off and DTD either tomorrow or the day after.

Hope everyone has a good night!

Feel the same way!!

Congrats Teeny.

 

[MrsPTTC]

So I had my HSG this morning! It was a bit uncomfortable, but it wasn't bad at all! I was worrying about nothing. My tubes are all clear, which I know is good news, but I was kinda hoping there'd be something minor so it would explain the lack of ! Got a few odd cramps here & there but that's it ! x

 

[rosababy]

Mrspttc, that's great! Yay for clear tubes! Fertility increases after the hsg, so maybe you'll get lucky this month! I agree, I was terrified of the procedure, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Congrats, teeny!

Afm, still waiting for af. She's due sometime this weekend. Then, I start IVF....(have I mentioned that? ) I'm so pumped!

I also went into my new boss this morning and told her that I'd be starting some fertility treatments and would have to take a few days off in September. I was worried...a new school, first month of school...she was TOTALLY understanding and said family always comes first. And went on to tell me that one of the teachers has 4 ivf babies, we have lots of multiples within our student population AND her own daughter, who is 35 and unmarried has her eggs frozen at the same clinic that I go to (or we assumed, anyway). She said she drives by it and waves to her grandchildren! I am so relieved. That took so much stress off of my shoulders.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks Rosa Yes I'd heard that it can increase your chances too, so FX'd!
Aw bless that's great that your boss is understanding! And you're a teacher, how lovely x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Teeny- congrats!!!

MrsPTTC- SO glad the HSG went ok your tubes are clear!!! Glad to hear it wasn't too bad!! I went to a FS today and they will do an HSG at the beginning of next cycle to look for a uterine septum. I'm happy that it is totally do-able!!

Rosa- what a great boss and you're getting close!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks very much hopeful! What's a uterine septum?? I have cramping tonight, a bit of a delayed reaction lol, but it's not too bad. Good luck with your HSG! x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

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!!

 

[Crumbs]

MrsPTTC, congrats on getting your HSG! Fx that this will be your cycle!!

rosababy, I loved reading about your boss! That's just awesome how understanding she is! Your IVF is so soon! I'm so excited for you! Fx!

hopefulmama2b, good luck on your HSG! It would be so wonderful if we were all bump buddies together!

As for me, I'm symptom spotting for the first time in a long time - but it's not what it seems. I'm mostly noting to see what's in the realm of "norm" for me. In other words, so I won't get all excited if I get massive symptoms again around certain dates because of hormones. So even if it doesn't happen this time, it's OK.

Seeing all the new s has given me a renowned sense of hope. My Mom and her Mom and her Mom before never had a problem having babies. It might take awhile, but it'll come
