Graduates thread - WTT ladies who have moved to NTNP / TTC or are pregnant

[itsnowmyturn]

Wow lots of October ladies pregnant now, congrats to u all. I was also in the October wtt. My post wtt story not so great unfortunately. So my zoladex for endo wore off on Oct 11th, that was 5 weeks ago tomorrow. Still no sign of ovulation. And unfortunately my pain has returned....this means at the minute we can't bd so no chances of being caught if I were to o. I'm just hoping that the pains coming back is a sign I'm getting my hormones bk.

I hope I can join u ladies soon in getting that bfp but right now I'm barely getting a line at all on an opk. So happy for u girls u all deserve it xx

I guess I can be added to this list now Today is CD2 of my first official TTC cycle

 

[schmetterling]

Hey ladies! We are on our first cycle ttc. Just waiting to ovulate! It's still surreal. Hoping for a quick bfp but with breastfeeding in the mix I have no idea what to expect. Good luck to others starting ttc!!

Well little update. Af came on saturday so I'm cycle day 3 today. I must have od and not realised. I suspected I had with my temps staying higher, I usually have around 36.3 and it stayed at around 36.6 for ages. I didn't get a pos opk but I got a faint line that faded so I suspected I had caught the end of it. From cm and temps I think my lp was 11 days so I will see next month. Won't mind an 11 day lp because its less of a wait to miss or get af lol.

Welcome over to the darkside hollyness x

 

[MellyH]

I've heard a lot of people don't get 'positive' OPKs in the sense that the line is darker than the control line, so you might just have to judge what is darkest for you.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Na this was a faint line so probably the tail end of the positive, I hadn't tested in a while and only tested because I was getting some cm, never got egg white though so I thought my body was trying to o but hadn't managed it but probably did.

Ur right though I have to figure out what happens with my body, I never noticed my cervix changing, seemed to stay low and closed. Will wait and see

Is this the first period since coming off the medication? I know that after child birth, hormones are all over the place, so some women get their first period without ovulating, then their body regulates and they begin properly ovulating after that. Maybe it's something like that with you. At least you've got a period out of the way though, that's a step in the right direction, right?

Sorry i've been MIA. Updated the first post now and wishing the two new TTC'ers the very best of luck with trying.

The last time I was wtt was in June, right before the 10th (my birthday).
I was very discouraged then because we were planning to start trying in june, but my husband had just lost his job and our TTC plans were going to be pushed back for a few more months, if not years.

BUT my clockwork period was missed, 2 beautiful lines came up, and now we have a healthy little boy due Feb 16!

We had a lot of goals that needed checked off when I found out I was pregnant and we almost have all of them gone now, since our little inspiration came along. My husband has a good job and I'm able to be a stay at home mom, and we only have one more thing that needs to be checked off before we are done with our pre-baby goals--and that's paying off the last bit of debt (besides our mortgage) which we should be able to do right before baby boy makes his big arrival.

That's my update so far it's been a little while, I hope some of you remember me!

Yeah first one since off endo meds so wasn't expecting anything to happen anyway that cycle. Glas my body is sorting itself out at last.

My brother rang me Thursday to tell me his girlfriend is pregnant tha got me a littl upset because they said they weren't trying till Jan obviously moved it forward and got caught on first cycle but I no neither of them have a clue about fertile windows etc. I also have my other brother over this weekend with a 4 year old a 3 year old a s 7 week old so this week has been tough for me but I think its made me more determined to start bd more often to hopefully get caught quicker. i felt like the worlds worst sister when he told me they were expecting again because i felt like well they already have one, she is only 19 and doesn't work and all that so why did they get caught and not me but now its sunk in a little I'm happy they are expanding their family although I do get little jealousy bits and feel like it should be me but I guess when u want something so bad it will be like that anyway. Cuddles with my baby nephew have been lovely though and I can't wait for that with my own

Itsnowmyturn, I have endo and was told I would need specialised surgery if I wanted to conceive by three different private Gynaes. When I first got the news I was inconsolable for a long time, as like most other ladies I always imagined it would come easily for me when the time came. And on top of that, the surgery being recommended was well out of my budget and I didn't have medical insurance. Suddenly every pregnancy announcement around me was a reminder of the difficulties I'd face ahead.

My DH and I got married in June, earlier than we had planned to as we wanted to start trying for a child sooner than originally planned to allow time for possible surgery waiting lists/IVF waiting lists and so on (as I was planning on using national health care). We started trying naturally, I initially with very little hope of success, but just wanting to notch up 6 months of trying so that I could go to the GP to get a referral to a gynae and so on..I'd heard of friends waiting two years or so and I wanted enough time to be able to have two children, god willing! I'd heard success stories of those with endo conceiving naturally and easily, but never believed it would happen to me after having so much medical advice to the contrary.

Lo and behold, I fell pregnant on our 2nd cycle of trying, and recently had an 8 week scan that showed he/she was in the right place. I can't say what will happen for you, because we are all different. I can only say that I look back on my months, heck, years(!) of misery and feel bad for having been upset about something that hadn't happened yet. I tried to keep the faith as we were TTC that it would be possible for me, and somehow it happened. It's still early days, but I'm just amazed it happened in the first place.

I know it's not easy. Endo is horrible and the misery it gives it's sufferers is so underestimated, but believe it will happen for you. (Easier said than done, my DH always believe we would be ok, and I just thought he was being insensitive). Don't lose the faith and celebrate all the pregnancy announcements knowing soon it enough it will be your own.

I've got my fingers crossed for you

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Thank you I do have some worries about it but I'm staying optimistic and trying to be naive about it. I'm hoping that I can fall within 6 months, if not I'm going to ask to go bk to my gynae and maybe think about more surgery just to see whether I can fall quickly after. I'm very happy for ur pregnancy I bet it was a shock for u xx

 

[callypygous]

Yes, I still can't quite believe it! Not telling anyone aside from DH until 12 weeks just because until then I don't think I'll be able to believe I have been so lucky.

Got my fingers crossed for you

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Aw I have mixed thoughts about when to tell ppl when i do fall because my brothers have all told ppl straight away but I don't no whether I wud want to because of the increased risk of early mc in the first Fe weeks. Plus it wud depend on when i wud c my family again free I found out because i wud want to tell them face to face not over the phone.
I no how I'm going to do my facebook announcement but still undecided on family announcement and oh announcement.
How did u tell ur oh?

I'm feeling very excited about this cycle, silly ff has me testing on Xmas eve but I will only test if I can say for sure when I ovulated, if i cant Il go from the last low temp I have and will wait 3 weeks lol

 

[callypygous]

I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream I was pregnant, on the same day AF was due and I didn't feel the usual heaviness that I get when AF is coming. Let alone the heavy cramps. I had some mild cramping, but nothing like usual. I impulsively did a test at 3am and was so in shock. I was just repeating the word 'what?!' and crying.

DH was worried something was wrong, and I told him right away that I had a BFP. He laughed and said 'See? I told you there was no need to worry!' and gave me a massive hug.

Still, that's only half the battle, but my scan last week gave me a lot of reassurance

Got my fingers crossed Santa gives you what you wish for this year

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Lol bless him he must have had so many different emotions from thinking something was wrong to knowing u were pregnant to needing sleep haha.

I'm starting to opk today so will wait and see really x
