Early 30's TTC #1

[Crumbs]

MsJMouse, :wave: it's great to hear you had a good time. Hawaii sounds dreamy!

MrsMax & jogu07,

pink80, hopefulmama2b, Rosa ... time sure flies!

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks Crumbs - so excited for you that things to be going along nicely for you. Bet you cant wait until 3rd July gets here. yay! You done much planning yet?

 

[Crumbs]

We're ticking off the essentials. DH's just finishing up painting the nursery and we're almost ready to buy the crib and furniture. I actually started buying stuff early, but a little at a time. Now that it's almost done, I'm getting nervous!

I'm crossing my fingers for you! I'm starting to look like a proper pregnant person now, so I can rub around some *babydust*

MrsPTTC, noticed you have an appointment soon. Fx!!!

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks Crumbs -do we get to see a bump picture for inspiration? x

 

[hopefulmama2b]

MsJ- Welcome back! I'm glad you had such a great time in Hawaii and your pics look great! That is a long plane ride! When I travel it's mostly in the States and since I'm in the middle It's never more than 3 hours from anywhere. Even when we go to Mexico it's only a few hours. I think you're tall like me? I bet your legs cramp up! Hawaii would be worth it though!

Crossing my fingers that you made a tropical baby! FX!

MrsMax- Transfer updates?!?!

 

[mrsmax]

Hi ladies :wave: It has been a hard day. Had bad constipation followed by the opposite if you know what I mean - wasnt even sure I would be able to transfer. then, we met embyologist and he talked at us for ages but I felt so awful i didnt hear much of it. Basically, 2 of our four were rubbish and two were Ok - neither great. Lots of fragmentation - so feel pretty deflated - but they transfered two and now I have to pray for a miracle

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Aw, my PUPO friend. I will be praying for your embies that they're nice and healthy and sticky. I don't know a ton about the grading and fragmantation, but I remember one girl's doc on BnB told her it's just the way they try to judge their strength or not. Fragmented doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad or unhealthy embie. I'll be thinking of you! I think plenty of ladies have had sucess with fragmented embies. I hope that you follow suit.

 

[rosababy]

mrsmax, try not to be down. I've heard lots of stories where the embryos were not so great and one still stuck. Watch your funny dvds now. When is your testing date? Praying for you. You're PUPO with twins!!

Crumbs, yay for team pink!

MrsJ, glad you had fun on your Hawaii trip! I've been all over the States, but never there. It's a pretty far trip for us as well. It's my dream to go some day.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Mrsmax, huge hun but it can still work I have everything crossed for you! As the others say you're PUPO! Woo hoo!

Hopeful that's such a great idea! So have you bought 2 cakes? You know you'll need to eat both anyway! Scan pic is very cute!

Crumbs now I think about it I think you told me its a girl . Have you got any names picked or are you keeping them a secret? Yes only 6 days til my appt! Though will be only 5 in a few hours, really nervous but can't wait to see what happens next!

Jogu, I'm on CD 15 today, body gearing up to ovulate, I think I might have a similar ovulation to when on clomid this month, great if it is, the earlier the better! If I were you I'd definitely ask to be scanned again as if you are ovulating then your lack of BFP is down to something else . Do you always have long cycles? Sorry if you've already said. You said AF is due, have you tested?

Msjmouse, glad you had a great holiday & you're so relaxed! Nice to have you back!

to Rosa & Regal!

[MsJMouse]

Hugs MrsMax. Fingers and toes crossed that at least one of those embies implants!! What day do you test??

Good luck with your FS appt on Wednesday - hopefully your FS gives you some options for moving forward.

Hopeful - that is such a cool way to reveal the gender.

Crumbs - time seems to be flying. Do we get to see a bump pic at all??

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks ladies - means a lot to have you guys praying and hoping for me.

Mrs P - yay for getting a FS appointment. Hopefully you will start to be able to move forwards.

 

[jogu07]

Hi everyone,

Back from my holiday to hawaii and feeling pretty chilled about everything. Had such a good time and can't believe how quick it went. DH and I have talked about going back to Hawaii again in the future as we really enjoyed it. (Only thing that sucked was the flights there, 1.5hr flight to Sydney with a 8hr layover before flying 10hrs to Honolulu - got to Hawaii and was absolutely exhausted so day 1 was a write off!! )

MrsMax - good luck, hoping the transfer goes well. Very exciting

Jogu07 - my TSH is a bit high as well - last test I have results for was three months ago and it was 8 and I have read that it is recommended that your TSH is below 2 for optimal chances of falling pregnant. Currently working on trying to fix this naturally (mum is a naturopath). At this stage my GP is not particularly concerned about the TSH being high as my T3 and T4 levels are normal (but antibodies are highish). Should be making an appt this week to get latest results from my GP - just haven't got around to it. Hoping the TSH is starting to drop (FX'd)

MrsPTTC - mustn't be long till your appt with your FS.

RegalPeas - praying that your miracle happens and you get your natural BFP soon.

AFM - AF is due on Saturday I think. Ended up ovulating around day 25 (can't remember at the moment - see my chart). Nicely it meant AF stayed away while we are away so it made our holiday more enjoyable than it might have been.

Hope everyone is well and had a great Easter.

Wow MsJ...you seemed to gave a great vacation...good that the stayed away...!!!

Well, TSH could be the cause of not able to conceive and trust me 8 is a big number..!!! The doc frowned at 6.51(my last level) so imagine 8 is more than that...!!! It is not that one cannot conceive with elevated TSH however the baby is likely to develop some abnormalities with such numbers hence it is advisable to TTC when your levels are around 2 or 2.5...!!! What are you takin for the elevated TSH..??? The doc this time re-adjusted my dose from 125mg to 150mg of thyrox as the levels were not affected since my last test...!!! Also, it is adviced that you remain stress free so that it helps the levels to drop down..!!!

When did u get it tested last...??? u need to get it tested every 8 weeks to check and if required adjust the doses...!!!

Fingers crossed for ya...!!! GL and God bless!!!

No I havent tested (for ovulation) this cycle as was at mom's place and busy with the tests and doc's appointment, was kinda excited mayb..!!! Good atleast you know that you are ovulating unlike me who is in no man's land...!!!
