Looking for some ttc buddies...

[mummymurray74]

Got my positive opk and my smiley this morning with fmu and got some serious ov cramping going on but not much fertile cm - so my plan is bd'ing for the next three nights in a row and use pre seed on each time.

Excited excited excited - I really hope this is our month. I was telling oh this morning, this is the first month in our ttc journey where I haven't popped any kind of pills, previously I had been taking multi vitamins, folic acid, evening primrose oil and soy isoflavones, this cycle I thought stuff it i'll go au nataurelle and I must say girls I'm probably having the strongest ov, with the strongest lines on opks ive seen so far.

happy happy happy, sex drive is through the roof today so look out oh!!

Bellas any updates on possible symptons, your chart is looking good, temps staying well above the cover line.

Newfie - I am so pleased you are past the 12 week mark and looking forward to seeing some piccies of yours and er's bumps as they grow

Hi impatientmum! We have sent threads to each other over the past few months but not for a while as i havent been on here in a while as it was all getting too much and i needed a break, i hope you dont mind me asking but i see you have been to the fertilty people and after 10months of trying and nothing happening since we had our 2 year old we are off to the fertilty hospital on nhs next tuesday, i just wondered what will happen and what tests they give you in which order? For example i know im ovulating, as ive been charting for 9 months, we did a home sperm test which was fine so im kinda worried that its me and just wondered how quick after your first appointment do all the tests start? And what they do at the first one x

 

[impatientmumm]

Hi Mummymurray - its nice to see you back, I'm sorry you felt like you needed a break from here but I know what you are going through.

I am very lucky I have a lovely gp who arranged the blood tests at my local surgery, my mum is a nurse so she has been taking the bloods for me, another nurse at the surgery said I was getting almost like vip treatment as normally you would be referred after 12 months to the fertility specialist at the hospital.

Anyway I had my appointment back in month 6 and then in month 7 i had cd 2 and cd 8 bloods taken and then month 8 i was supposed to have cd 21 bloods taken but my cycle was really strange and i was taken a bit by surprise by af's arrival, so I am going for cd 21 bloods this month.

I spoke to my gp last week and she told me my results over the phone for the bloods I have had and said everything was fine. The final blood test is to make sure I am actually ovulating normally. If all bloods come back normal she will refer us to the specialist as there is quite a long waiting list apparantely. When we go there my OH will have a sperm analysis and go from those results.

Since starting the blood tests I have to say it has made me far more relaxed and also since getting the first lot of results I am quite confident nothing is wrong with either of us. It may just take a little longer that is all.

We also did an at home test for OH which came back normal, so I wouldn't worry the problem is with you it may just take a little longer than you first anticipated.

I hope the appointment goes well, my OH isn't really onboard with all these tests to be honest he seems to think waiting isn't a problem no matter how long it takes so I think getting to actually have a sperm analysis might be a nightmare if it comes to that!!

thanks for giving me hope ladies. i can't wait for the days to pass so i can know.

there is really no update on the symptoms exept that i sort of feel as if my breasts are less heavy today but i could be wrong. maybe i am just used to them feeling heavy that they just don't feel heavy. but they still feel soar which is a positive. also a little twing in belly and some random "shotting" on right thighs. i don't know if it is a pregnency sign. hehe gosh all this is just to crazy.

newfie and er it must feel so good to be past the symptom spotting period. i can't wait to be there with you girls.

yeah for the pos. opk impatientmum - get bedding now. i have to say that my bf and i loved preseed. i am hoping that it also helped us make a baby this month. i have read so many success stories. a lot of ladies that have gotten preggo after using preseed. so good luck lady.

 

[newfielady]

It's great to be past the first never wrecking 12 weeks. But I'm now at the point where I don't really feel pregnant but nothing fits!
Nice to see you back mummymurrary!

 

[bellaswedus]

hello ladies, i am so excited but scared for how it will go but the great news is that i tested this morning and we got a very light but yet a bfp.

i am going to get a few more hpt and test tomorrow and the day after to make sure it goes darker. i am scared it is not a sticky because the one strong symptom i had is not that strong any more. my breast don't feel as heavy and soar any more. please keep me and my new bean in your thoughts and prayers.

impatientmum - thank you, thank you. i know that the preseed is what did it. i am glad you introduced me to it. we dtd everyday for 9 days we used preseed everyday exept for the first day. so make sure to use yours as well.

 

[impatientmumm]

Arghhh so exciting bellas - I have everything crossed for this to be a sticky bean for you!!

[newfielady]

Symptoms come and go all the time. Don't worry about that. And don't worry about the line getting darker. A line is a line.

 

[Star7890]

Wowwww! Put on a piccie bellas! xx

 

[bellaswedus]

thank you so much ladies. i am so happy. i can wait to tell the world. but we will wait.
er and newfie when did you tell your parents? when did you tell your bestfriends?
so we are visiting our parents. right now we are staying at my parents then tomorrow going to my bf parents. it is so hard not to tell my parents. i thought we would but after out last mc my bf suddenly wants to wait until we know for sure its a sticky.
i have plans on meeting friends for drinks next week i don't know what to say when i don't order a drink for my self. hmm how did you guys handle things like that?

so that doctor office where i grew up had a drop in today so we went today. we just wanted to confirm our faint line was a line. hihi and it was so we have an appointment next week for blood tests. hmm what do they do at the first appointment? what kind of blood tests? so we will have to have a doc both here in sweden and in the states. even though we live in the states until the end of 2012 we will still be going back and forth between us and sweden. just want to make sure we have all of our bases covered.

er i have no clue how to post. please tell me how and i will.

i can't wait until just one week has passed. one step at a time right?

 

[Star7890]

Yep, one step at a time! Its very scary at first!

Goon 'go advanced' at the bottom of your new post and click the little paper clip, a box will come up, press the button (think it might be browse) and then click on the image on your computer you want... then press upload and if you wait it should attach itself! xx

I told my parent right away, and my sister. When I had the miscarriage it was easier because I could talk to them about it. At my very first visit then took blood and urine and that was it, they sent me on my way.

 

[bellaswedus]

newfie - i did too because it makes it much easier to talk when things are not great as well.

they were all happy. our moms cried hihi most of their friends are grandparents and this will be there first so they are so excited.

ok so did you ladies temp trying to get pregnant? could you tell me if my chart is still okk. i am just worried as it droped today from 98 + to 97.85. but i still have the same symptoms and nothing hurts and it is well above my coverline. what do you ladies think? please take a look at my chart and tell me what you think?

 

[newfielady]

I think you're still fine bellas. Did you do another test? Put up a pic so we can see.

 

[bellaswedus]

this is the first test i took on the morning of thursday 15th of sep. can you girls see the plus in the large screen?

 

[bellaswedus]

this is the test from the doctors office same day (15th of sep). i don't know if you can see the second line. we did in the light. hahahha

 

[bellaswedus]

this is the next day on the friday 16th of sep. A bit darker right?

 

[bellaswedus]

this is the test from yesterday the 17th of sep. more darker than the previous day. today i did a digi test. it said pregnant. so and my temp stayed the around the same as yesterday. just went from 97.85 to 97.93. so i think i should start getting used to being pregnant? or what do you say?

 

[Star7890]

Wooo congratulations! So what worked for you in the end? And have you moved over to first tri yet? xx

 

[bellaswedus]

Wooo congratulations! So what worked for you in the end? And have you moved over to first tri yet? xx

ER - thank you! i think it was the preseed honestly. this was first month using it, also dtd for that many days in a row. but it could have been coincidence.

hmm i don't know what this means:And have you moved over to first tri yet?
could you tell me? x

 

[newfielady]

WoooooHooooo You're up the duff as my uk friends would say. Congrats!
