I am good, just waiting to O so am using the OPK's and also BD'ing every other day so I don't miss the egg! If you don't mind me asking, did you BD every day or every other day?

good luck sweetie x

i took my second first response test a few minutes ago

it gave me a dark pink line and a lighter pink line within 3 minutes
apparently i'm pregnant

will do another one in a few days now just to make sure

wow x

Congratulations hun

 

[emalou90]

thanks littlehush

just keeping my fingers crossed still, its early days! x

 

[hayley2]

Wow don't come on here for a day and you get a BFP!!! Maybe thats what i'm doing wrong - i need to leave BnB. lol

Congrats eamlou! You must be sooooo pleased. First month trying! How the hell did you manage that??!!!

Polaris great scan pics! Brilliant news that everything is going ok for you xxx

leelee i know how you feel about waiting to O, i'm in the same boat as you hun. Still waiting! Gonna do an opk soon and see if theres any change. I've had a little bit of EWCM for a few days now - wondering whether i'll O without a pos opk?

Let the SS comence littlehush!

Well my SIL has been in labour since last night (todays her due day!). If he isn't born by 2pm they are going to have to do a c-section. She will be really unhappy about that as she wanted to come home 3-6 hours after the birth. Lets hope it doesn't come to that! I'll be an aunty today! How exciting!

 

[emalou90]

Haha i must be extremely fertile or just very lucky.

congrats on almost becoming an aunty

Emalou - congratulations hun - so very happy for you.

Leelee - it does seem strange that your CM is different..... shouldn't worry too much about the temps - mine never seemed the same. I don't know anything about the supplement you are taking...... so can't help there.

Hayley - I felt the same as you - I've been off for a day and come back to a BFP and beautiful pictures of Polaris scans! How is your SIL doing? exciting hey!

Polaris - your pictures are lovely! You must be thrilled .... I am thrilled for you

As for me I've been feeling really low mostly because I miss Mollie so much...... I couldn't stop crying yesterday until I started looking through her photo's and then I was smiling again in minutes..... she was so smiley and it was and is very infectious.

I'm feeling very mixed about TTC again............ my dilema is that I'm being referred to specialist re the miscarriages and have been told not to get pregnant until tests have been done. But even if I do get pregnant I've still got to wait until the CVS test at 11 weeks to know everything is ok........ so I'm thinking tic toc as I am 38. So if I wait then I might not get pregnant until August so it would be November before I know if baby is ok (assuming I make 11 weeks).

oh god this is so long and complicated I'm sorry and I hope it makes sense.

But because DH and I are carriers of a genetic condition we might be accepted for PGD which is a type of IVF where they test the egg before it is transferred to the womb......... but to be accepted for this I need to be a healthy weight, be under 40 and have no healthy children. So I would need to lose at least a stone in weight if we were to go for this now.

My dilemma is that I know I want to have more than one sibling for Mollie...... so if I conceive naturally again and go on to have a healthy baby then I would no longer be eligible for PGD.

But if I go for PGD now then I have to lose weight now which is hard when depressed as I comfort eat. And they still recommend a CVS at 11 weeks even though they test the embryo before implanting!

Whichever way I go I feel like I definately DON'T have time on my side.

Sorry if this is a bit heavy.

Hi Butterfly,

Glad to see you back. And don't worry about the post, this is what we are here for. Sorry you were feeling very low yesterday, but I am glad Mollie cheered you up.

Ok, I think you need to sit down with your OH and work out which route is best for you to take.

When are you having the tests re: recurrent miscarriages? Is that soon? If so, then maybe you could hold on and see what the results are. There could be something that they can give you to prevent any further miscarriages

I need to lose about a stone myself and I comfort eat so I know how you feel about the weight issue.

I suppose the thing to ask yourself is which is the best option for you? Will you automatically be eligible for the PGD if you lose the weight? If so, it seems like a good route to take as you would be more reassured.

The positive thing here is that you can conceive so your fertility is not an issue at the moment.

I can be a weight loss buddy with you if your needing to be motivated to lose it. As I said, I need to lose the weight anyway. With a sensible diet they reckon you can lose 2lbs a week so if you have a goal for about 2-3 months time would they take you for PGD straight away (taking into account your age).


I hope I am making sense.

 

[hayley2]

Butterfly that is a very hard decision to make. I'm sorry your feeling so down but i'm glad Mollie is making you smile.

Losing a stone in weight is a lot to lose but if it gets you a baby it would be worth it. Have you tried Weight Watchers? I've done that before and its not too hard as you can still eat naughty stuff. To lose 14lb it would take you about 6-8 weeks if you stuck to it - it would fly by.

If i were in your shoes i think i would ask to be referred to the specialist but i'd let nature take its course while i was waiting. I know you would like more than one sibling for Mollie but focus on this one first and cross the bridge of achieving the second when you come to it hun.

If you concieved a healthy child naturally then hopefully you'd be lucky enough to get a second one the same way.

Theres no reason you can't be NTNP when you go and speak to the specialist about trying again.

I wish i could give you a proper hug and make you feel better. You are an amazing woman that is so strong. You can do this hunni! We'll be there to listen along the way

Hi Hayley,

Good to see you back. Are you still waiting to O then? Have the OPK's gotten any darker for you? I would keep BD'ing if I were you, to make sure!

Keep us updated on your SIL. Hope she is able to manage it naturally.

 

[hayley2]

Yep still waiting to O. Did another one today and still neg - got a faint second line but no where near pos. Really hoped i'd O on CD14 but no such luck. Still going to BD every other day just incase - don't want to miss it. Although i usually get bad o pains so don't think i have yet. As usual its taking ages!

Hows your opks?

My OH is so laid back and doesn't really make decisions so he will go with whatever I think is best........... but because I made so many decisions for Mollie's care when she was here and at times had to be so assertive with health professionals....... I'm done with making decisions - I just want to be told what to do..... does that make sense?

I don't know when the testing will be - the midwife did suggest a few weeks wait.

I did think about WW but because I want to get pregnant soon I wasn't sure if it was worth the money. Your sensible diet and losing 2lb a weeks sounds great - what we need is someone who goes WW to guide us for free!

I think I'm gonna ring the hospital about PGD to at least get the referral appointment back up and running as we cancelled it when we got pregnant........ so we can at least find out more info about it.

Hi Hayley.

Thanks for reply - as usual you're so wise!

We are already NTNP even though I know we are 'not meant to straight after a mc'.

I hear what you're saying about concentrate on one at a time it's just that I feel like time is running out if we were to want PGD

Oh I just don't know..... my head is spinning.

I'd love it more than anything if DH was to come hope and say right this is what we're gonna do!!

I think the ringing and getting the referral for the PGD is a great idea. At least you can get more of an idea about it. Could you go to your GP and ask for his/hers advice on your situation. They might be able to give more medical advice on what is the best thing to do.

Hi Flumpy

Thank you - wow congratulations to you for losing that weight - that's a fantastic achievement. It's a fabulous idea too - perhaps we need to start a new thread for it (although I don't know how to do that) but we could start today as I did weigh myself this morning...... although I've been naughty already by eating fresh bed and pate today.

 

[flumpy]

ok

 

[Csunshine013]

Hello Ladies
Hope everybody is well. So sorry for loss Butterfly we are all here for hope you feel better soon.
Haley2 how are you today?
Oh gosh sorry I can't remember everybodies names I feel such a jerk. Hope everybody is having a good day.

 

[flumpy]

ok i will start a new thread - on ww you can eat anything - you are given a points allowance so you just have to work stuff into your points!! so you are allowed bread and pate but you will have to have something with less points for you evening meal - I will do the new thread now
