[sarahincanada]

morning!!

yay mummy happy 2nd tri


(you know Im happy when my boobs come out to dance!!)

preethi enjoy time with mummy

roll on may 4! not long till we will know some genders and start seeing some big bumps

dew: hoping that the witch has not come

nothing interesting over here, Im having a very calm 2WW not really thinking about it apart from the temping which at least keeps it a little interesting. only one week to go, I will add my chart.

my hubbies sister just got engaged on her birthday on friday (shes 26), her fiance asked her in front of niagara falls, she is so happy. niagara is only about an hour and a half away from us. so we are going over for her birthday and celebration dinner this afternoon.

talk to you soon

Dew, I'm glad I could help you make a decision I also have tilted uterus pretty bad. I researched it and seems that position of bd really matters in this case. Certain positions allow for sperm to get to tilted uterus easier. I think this test you are doing will be good because pregnancy and, of course, miscarriage can change or mess up hormones. I hope not, but least you will know.

Any advice on what position may work for me? IMO laying on back with pelvic area/butts at 45 deg angle/upwards should work. Even while doing the deed I keep the pillows below me as otherwise it used to fall out immediately, this way it stays inside as long as I keep myself in that position, but once I get up from bed an hour or so later, it always comes out.

I am really looking forward to my day 3 tests, they test FSH, prolactin and one more hormone. I hope there is no surprise as it may shatter my hopes completely. Next, I am waiting or DH's SA report which may take another 2 weeks or so. fXed for both.

Waiting for AF today, it usually comes around noon so anytime soon.

Ladies, your thoughts on baby aspirin? With my history, will it help? If yes how do I take it and on what days?

Sarah, do you take it?

Thanks!

Dew i'm not sure if a tilted uterus and a retroverted uterus are the same things, but i've heard of ladies with retroverted uterus' saying that doggy style is the best and then lying on your stomach afterwards instead of on your back with butt raised.

As for baby aspirin - i would be inclined to say ask a doctor. But i'm not really a fan of taking anything unless prescribed, especially things like aspirin etc.

 

[Huggles]

Well, i've decided to share two 'bump' pics with you. I say 'bump' because there really isn't much of a bump (if any) yet. The 5 week one is what i normally look like - it's there to compare. Definitely no bump there. The 10+3 was taken today. It looks ever so slightly bigger, but i think i might have been standing differently and perhaps not pulling my tummy in as much or something. Also might be a slightly different angle. Not sure. I don't really think there's a bump there yet.

Thanks Huggles! Mine is retroverted uterus and is tilted backwards. We may try doggy and lying on stomach this cycle at least one time during fertile days.

I am also not a fan of taking medications. I didnt want to mess with my regular cycles so never went on BCP. Now with this BFN, I am freaking out for no reason. This is just second try after MC, we need to give ourselves a total of 6 months at least before thinking of any assistance with conception, right?

It may sound funny the way I am gonna say it but everything looks enlarged in second pic compared with first, it may still not be a bump yet but body seems to be growing and preparing itself for one.....coming very soon

 

[sarahincanada]

dew FX for good results, but before that FX nothing arrives today....are you feeling it coming?

dont worry about what comes out an hour later, that will mainly be semen not much sperm. if your hubby has good swimmers they should know where to go way before then I dont know the best position for your condition, however I think its good to try a few different per ovulation. For example we usually just do missionary but this time we tried from behind too (thanks to NY's suggestion ) as your cervix/uterus is slanted in a different way. also Ive read on here people using softcups to keep things up there, but Im a bit squeemish about putting things up there

I only take my multivits nothing else. Ive heard people taking baby aspirin and know mummycat was after her MC, so she could help. what is it supposed to do?

 

[Huggles]

Dew, i'd say at least 3 months before trying anything extra. Then maybe do testing and if everything is fine then another 3 before trying anything extra. Then talk to the dr and ask what they think. But i know how you feel with the bfn. Mine hit me really really hard that first month of ttc (proper ttc. We'd already had 2 months of ntnp). It totally surprised me how badly i took it but it totally felt like it was never going to happen. So i understand your 'freaking out'

I'd say definitely try the doggy style and tummy lying this cycle. Can't hurt right?!

yes they do say trying 6 months if you are 35 or older, usually its a year for under 35s. shows how it can take time even if you are young if they wont do tests until a year.
2nd cycles is not too many, but it can feel like a lifetime. Ive been monitoring everything since sept and had 6 tries with my polyp, and now one without, but it seems like years!!

yay for bump pic! and good idea wearing the same clothes. I can definitely seem more of a rounding in the tummy area

yes Huggles, good idea wearing same clothes, I'll do the same but one day you are gonna grow out of them

 

[Huggles]

The beauty of that particular outfit is i'm unlikely to grow out of them. The top band of the pants is a very wide fold-over band. So when my bump gets too big i'll just unfold it and have it up over the bump! The top might get shorter (it's quite stretchy, so again i should be able to wear it throughout), but the pants will then go up higher so will still cover my belly!

I won't do bare-belly shots, i'm far too self conscious for those!

But even if i do grow out of them, later the bump will be much more obvious so it shouldn't matter what i'm wearing. It's mainly for now in the beginning when changes in shape/size are so minimal.

nice bump huggles ! although i feel more of a bump forming now. i was all bloat until a week ago ! where as i dont feel bloatish anymore because you know when you start feeling a firm bump instead of a soft one.. xx

sarah enjoy your dinner !! must be lovely and i love the jumping boobies !

dew, yeah ive heard softcups work for some, i personally ordered them from the states and tried them on first before bd to check and see how it works and god they hurt so bad, getting them out was such a nightmare, i felt like i had UTI because of the pain, but it does work for some and some swear by it so its all a chance really. let me tell you about positions

i was all acrobatic, legs up, if from back, then bent down for half n hour killling my back and legs most of the times and yes i do believe thats what payed off for me..
dh's results said motility was 55 % which according to the doc was good but not great, they were trying to get 25 % to go faster, but obviously as you can see even before we started any clomid or treatment for dh, we fell pregnant, so its not always bad.. plus you have been preg with your dh before so that does rule out most of your concerns.. as it was recent,.. and its not like its been a few years and the sperm could have changed all of sudden.. xxx

hope everyone is doing good !

night night to all of you.. its 11:05pm here !

here's my bit of a bump!!! There's some fat there of course, but it's turning into a BUMP!
https://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/flyingduster2/IMG_2032.jpg
it's a terrible photo cos it's still dark here this morning, but it'll do for now... I'll try for a better pic later, probably get one to match my first pic too so you can compare...

my tummy is feeling really *heavy* now. Sorta like when AF is here, in the first day or two when she's really flowing and your uterus feels full and heavy, a little crampy, but not much at all, just *heavy*!! It's not quite bloat, it's different... lol!

My brother & his fiance came around to visit yesterday, we've seen each other a fair bit but they haven't been around here for AGES, so they hadn't seen the nursery or anything. Was good to have a catch up, and sorta cute cos my brother is obviously getting clucky!!! I guess having your little sister pregnant can do that! LOL!


My next midwife appointment is 28th May. I'm going to go in and book in my next scan today hopefully, and I'm HOPING to get the 23rd of May for that, but will confirm when I can get it booked in.

Lovely bump pics Huggles and Flying... definite bumps there!

Dew, I was on baby aspirin. I had 2 chemicals after my MMC in Nov and went to the doc in the Jan after my 2nd chemical and she upped my folic acid to 5mg and after I asked about baby aspirin she said, yes... definitely take it... it's being used a lot more with women who have suffered miscarriages as it's supposed to help the blood flow to the uterus and better prepare the lining (making it more hospitable) for implantation as well as serving to help the formation of the placenta.

It worked for me... we fell pregnant on the first cycle on it! Bear in mind it's baby aspirin (which I'm sure you know) so only 75mg dosage where a normal aspirin dosage is 300mg. So it'll do NO harm to the baby. (That straight from my Dr).

My bump buddy Joey had 5 miscarriages all reasonably early (up to 8 weeks) and the first month she used baby aspirin she fell pregnant and is still pregnant now at almost 14w with a healthy baby at 12 week scan.

So I'm a huge advocate for it... but saying all that, I think make an appointment with the doc and ask them about it. Rather that they clear it and know what you're on! I started taking mine as soon as AF left!

No real news here.. just been working in the garden and hubby is getting ill! He gets MAN flu when ill and can't move and needs lots of care!! Nevermind that when I'm ill... I still have to look after Lottie all day while he goes off to work! Men

Thanks so much for that info Mummy! It sounds very positive, I think I will wait for my day 3 hormone test results and then ask doc about baby aspirin. She will probably make 'her' typical 'I don't know what you are talking about' face and probably ignore me on this but I will try talking to her. Wonder why she increased folic acid for you?

Hey Preethi, thanks so much for that info!

I know what you mean by BD acrobatics...that's probably why it's called BDance

Never heard before about men being put on Clomid. Will discuss that with DH or may be not, don't want to stress him much in this regard Let the results come first...

I feel slightly uncomfortable with tampons itself so not sure if my body will like soft cups. I do hold my knees up in air for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours with pillows below. After BD, DH helps me move towards bed's headboard so I can rest my feet on it when tired things we do for baby love

Flying: I see the bump forming....yay!

Wow! Listening to news on CNN...Bin Laden is dead!!!
