Aw lilesmom that's great news about your sil having a good scan. I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well for her And how is your mum doing, is she ok?

That's such great news about your test results So pleased to hear things are getting better bit by bit. Shame about the iron but yeah, is def the one you'd want to be off out of those 3 as is much more easily fixed.

I can't wait til I feel movement either, I wonder when it will happen. I was reading yesterday it can take til 18 - 20 weeks, which seems like such a long way away! Next week I think I'm going to have to go to mothercare and get measured for a maternity bra. I've only got 2 bras that fit me now (which is weird because all my bras are the same size?!) but they're starting to get uncomfy. Looking forward to my first pregnancy purchase

Mommylov - any news? Got FX for you hun xxx

 

[lilesMom]

hey smiler
i think they wil be fine now, first scan is the dodgiest for things to go wrong, so hoping they be fine now xx thanks
my mom is good just waiting , she got app to go to hosp for april 15th but i think thats just to see consultant, they will decide when to take it out then. thanks
yup, im def better off its just iron, thats fixable with tablets

are u gonna get actual mat bras this early? i just measured myself, (hurray for google) and got bigger ones not underwired, i think i may need to go bigger again now though
my boobs are huge!!!
for nursing bras they say wait till 38 weeks or so cos u wont know what size, but im thinking if u have bub early then u be fecked
i was feeling bubbles like movement at around 13 weeks ish, it was like i could feel the fluid moving around bub when he moved, they say if u know what to look out for u can feel it earlier. but it varies from person to person. my placenta is on the back wall, up high ish so i had nothing in the way of me feeling bub, my sis had placenta in front so didnt feel movemnet till much later. did they mention placenta position at all at scan?
they didnt mention mine at 12 week at all but did at last few scans .

mommylov hope alls well xxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all xxxx

My follies were on the small side. Still right side dominant. Largest follie was 12 with a few 11's. Nurse said we can go back on Monday for repeat ultrasound. I usually O on cd13. Nurse says that is highly unlikey due to the size of the follies. Kinda confused as to if I will O on CD 13 like normal or if Femara causes O delay. Wondering if there is something to be done for small follies and what that would be.

 

[mommylov]

Hi girls :wave:! Happy Friday everyone ! I took my test this morning but called and the nurse told me that it takes 24 hours for the progesterone to come back and since its friday I wont get the results until monday (They are closed over the weekend). So more waiting for me

How is everyone doing? Daily to you all!

On and on a happier note, I ordered a basal thermometer and got it in the mail last night. Took my temp this morning at it was at 98.2. It usually is at 96.somthing before O and I saw it rise with my other thermometer to about 97.8 the past couple of days so it went up a little more this morning with it being 98.2. I dont know if Clomid affects your temp but I was excited about that!

 

[lilesMom]

babybemine im sorry i know nothing about femara so i cant help sweetie, sorry ,. xx

amy , more waiting feck it , but hurray for rise, hoping its bfp, i dont knwo much about clomid either soz xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[babybemine]

Had a small bout of negativity and stress and realized that it is not helpful for my future hopeful baby. Was worried about the possibility that my follies were on the small side but after using the internet to look up stuff, I guess 12 can be pretty average for cd10. Opted to go back to the doctors on Monday to see how they have grown. Internet says thay can do alot of growing in that time so back to being hopeful.

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Laura!

Babybemine, yes your follis can grow 1-3 mm per day but I have read some women that had thier follies grow even faster than that so you never know. CD10 is still pretty early and monday's scan will hopefully show bigger follies ready to burst!

 

[lilesMom]

i second mommylov, fx for good folli scan on monday babybemine xxxxx

Hello Ladies,

I'm glad to hear that you are all doing well! I've had two extrememly horrible work weeks, both with me not getting home until after 8.30pm on tues, weds and thurs so I've just been trying to rest up and relax as much as possible.

I've also been trying not to obsess over ttc and to try and readjust my thought patterns and feelings toward this strange and marvelous journey. Part of that is not coming onto the forum so much - I'm trying to redirect my energy into other productive activities. But I'm always thinking of you lovely ladies and wondering how you are doing

I'm 3 or 4dpo today and my temp chart looks so good compared to normal, I had 3x as much ewcm this cycle compared to previous cycles and I'm just feeling good about it all I feel like cortisol had probably skewed my cycles for a while (stress ) and now my reproductive hormones are actually able to do their jobs again

It was our 8year anniversary yesterday so DH took me out for dinner at our favourite Japanese restaurant in Milan. Suffice it to say we got home mega late and slept in this morning I'm going to try and make tomorrow a more productive day! Love to you all

 

[lilesMom]

welcome back disco ria, totally understandable to take a mini break from site
it does tend to make us focus on ttc a lot more and sometimes more than is healthy for us xxx fx for u this cycle chick xxxxx

 

[Hopeful335]

Hey all just dropping in to say hi. I do keep reading and keep up to date but usually on my phone and u HATE typing ony phone.

Hope you are all okay? It is stressful Discoria and food to take breaks and keep perspective! Glad all sounds positive mommyluv. Smiler I have the pop experience to Lilesmom I have anterior placenta (on front ) so is like a cushion. Didn't find out till 20 week scan but didn't feel bub move till like 21/22 weeks then I knew! Now he's changed position I feel him less again (went to see mw as was worried as you do notice a pattern of movement pretty quickly) all good but prob kickingy placenta now so not as strong again!

All okay with me-been so so so busy!!! Having some building work starting a week tom, still trying to finalise kitchen plans and now choosing for 2 bathrooms whilst working full time-I'm knackered! We did do one fun thing-we've ordered our pusgchair-yey! So daunting but exciting! How's your baby organisation going Lilesmom? Apart from buying a changing bag that is literally the only thing I've done!

Lots of PMA and baby dust to you all x x x x x x x

 

[lilesMom]

hi hopeful, hope u get ur decorating done soon so u can get some rest xxx
good time to do it now though before u get too bumpy and too wrecked when bub comes xxx
i have a good lot of stuff now hon, have few more bits to do alright but ive gone a bit lazy if i see cheap things on offer i get um, the only thing absolutely necessary that we will need to get is cot bed and mattress but will wait , im looking out for offers
il continue picking up bits as i go along.
i have lots of family so i wont buy too much cos i know il get lots of toys and clothes when bub is born so it be a waste

hi to everyone xxxxxxxx

its my bubs V day today hurray xxxxxx to bub

 

[mommylov]

Progesterone came back at 12.45... Much better than my 10.something last cycle

 

[babybemine]

Leaving for ultrasound now to see if Follies have grown and are good for this cycle. FX and prayers that all the achey I had on my right side were due to them growing nice and strong.

 

[mommylov]

Temp went from 98.2 to 97.8 so I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle. Aside from weird cramps I have had no symptons so just waiting for af at this point.

 

[babybemine]

Hugs to you mommy

On a side note follies were growing. Two of them are looking prospective 19 and 16. Nurse says lining is looking good as well.

 

[mommylov]

babybemine, those folli sizes look great hun! And Yay for a nice uterine lining... waiting and ready for lo! FX for you!

Im new to Clomid and temping and all but I read that the dip that I had today could be due to implantation? Im not really keeping my hopes up this round due to the lack of symptoms. My last two pregnancies I didnt get a BFP until the day af was due and af isnt due for me until this fri-sat so who knows. Wed is the EDD for my first that I lost so the timing couldnt be worse Sorry, I know Im suppose to have PMA but its just a difficult time

 

[Smiler82]

Hi ladies

sorry have been off for a few days, was away visiting the in laws then have been a bit ill Been feeling shockingly bad and was sick 3 times this morning, which for me is a lot! Thought I would be done with that now, as I'm 13 weeks today but NO! Oh well not to worry. I do think when I feel rough it's a growth spurt so as long as baby is ok that's all I care about.

Mommylov how many dpo are you? It is really normal to have a dip midway through the 2WW. Some ladies get it every cycle, some occasionally and some when they are implanting. It's hard to know what is normal for you until you've got a few charts under your belt...are you totally new to temping? It can be a good sign so don't count yourself out just yet. EDDs are hard, so hard hun I dreaded it when mine came up but honestly, once they were past I felt like a bit of aburden had been lifted. Same with the 1 year anniversary. Hope you will feel better after too, but I know the run-up and the day itself is hard. I lit candles just to mark the day, was nice to do a little something to remember them by xxxx

Discoria - really nice to hear from you I know it is stressy at times and keeping off the internet is a good idea! We're all here to support you but understand entirely the need to keep your mind on other things. I hope that it's helping you x

Hopeful - great to hear from you too! If you have anterior placenta does it stay that way? At my 10 week scan she said mine was in the right place, but I don't know if it moves. At my 12 week scan it wasn't commented on at all so I dno't know if it's still in the right place or not! Too early for me to feel movement yet anyway but it would be nice to know! Good luck with all the building work!!

Lilesmom - what is V day?? No I'm not going to get nursing bras this early!! But from waht I can work out Mothercare do non-wired bras that don't have the detachable cup. The only place in town I can go for bras is Debenhams and M+S, and the Mothercare non-wired bras are cheaper and nicer I thought my boobs had stopped growing but this weekend they seem to have exploded!! My ordinary bras are not coping lol xxx

 

[mommylov]

Thank you so much Smiler I added a little more the chart. Yes, I am totally new to temping but thought I might as well start since I am now starting all these meds. I didnt know how it would all affect OPKS and whatnot so thought it might be good to have a back up (Temping). I am 10dpo today. - HPT yesterday morning and this morning but in the past with both of my pregnancies I didnt get a + HPT until the day AF was due which was about 14DPO. I dont really have any symptoms though and thats what scares me. My bbs are maybe a LITTLE tender today but nothing crazy. I was super congested over the weekend but dh thinks its because he was messing with some wires behind the tv and that I was allergic to all the dust. Who knows.. I havent felt like this was my cycle from day 1 and still feel that way but was hoping to be surprised I guess

 

[lilesMom]

babybemine, that sounds great hon, xxxxxx
good luck catching egg this cycle xxxxxxxx

mommylov dont give up hope sweetie, u wont know for sure either way yet xxx
really hope it is bfp for u hon xxxx
hugs for EDD xxxxxxx they r not the nicest day, xxx hugs xxxx
but u will get through it and have ur sweet Lo honey xxxxxxxx
soon i hope
xxxxxxxx

smiler hope u feel better soon sweetie x
my ms didnt go till about week 15, i thought i was gonna have it for entire preg when i stil had it at that stage but i woke up one morn with it gone and that nausea didnt really come back much . so fx for u to shake it soon xxxx

amy i second smiler, in that the lead upt o my EDD was way worse than the day itself and i did feel a certain relief after cos something i was dreading was past and i was ok after it xxxxxxxx hugs xxxxxxx

smiler V day is Viability day, at 24 weeks even if bub came now (hopefully not) they have a really high chance of survival nice to have that milestone behind me
im chalking um up now, hopefully things will be fine and i will get this LO xxxxxxxxxxx

if ur placenta wasnt too low before it wont be now, lots of peoples are low in the start, but as uterus grows it gets pulled up, front or back isnt a problem so long as its not covering cervix area (placenta previa ), most people who have this early on, it fixes itself as preg goes on .
for those that it doesnt fix itself, they just have to keep an eye on mom and bub and maybe c section later. but ur fine now if u were fine earlier scan xxxxxx

ha ha on the bras smiler, yeah mine did that earlier too, they just grew like crazy and then stopped for weeks thank god they r already big enough, i wont be able to carry um. mine have grown a bit again lately, i just got granny bras ha ha
i got ones from dunnes here, like m and s but cheaper mothercare here is expensive for clothes and bras.
i think il have to go again but i dont wanna waste money if they r gonna grow again , im not sure if they have finished for now


hi and hugs to all xxx

i have zero news, really tired again these days so not up to much im lucky i can rest though. the iron is making me sicky, hope no one of ye ever have to take it and that i never have to take it again its messing up my nts sleep with heartburn and nausea so im wrecked by day. but least i dont have to work anyway and bub is growing away i hope and gettin what he needs so thats most important

to all my lovely ladies xxx
