The LTTTC thread for everyone.

[sukisam]

Hello ladies

I'm back , I had a brilliant holiday but it's always nice to get home . I've missed you all. France was great, really hot and the kids pretty much spent a week in the pool/sea.

Well Im 9dpo not feeling too hopeful but kind of okay- 2ww craziness hasn't kicked in yet! We had some nicely timed shags so we'll see. On the ferry yesterday I fell asleep and when I woke up i was totally convinced I'm going to have another baby- a baby girl so lets hope it comes true . Since I had the pyschic say I'd get pregnant March 13 (with a girl) it's made me calmer and more hopeful- i had lost all hope. I know the readings are bollocks but it's keeping me sane for now . I'm going to take a leaf out of bmom's book and get fitter and loose some weight- no dieting for me though cos it makes me bonkers . I'm going to eat nice food when i'm hungry and moving my body in ways that are fun- eg Zumba! We managed 2 Zumba sessions in French on holiday it was hilarious- me, my mum, kids + Oh doing Zumba in french

Jen- so pleased on the numbers can't wait till your scan

Bmom- sorry for the temp drop sweetie I hope you're hanging on in there. We agreed to NTNP but i'm still POAS to know when I ovulate and still had shags on ovulation day and the 2 days before so we're not really NTNP but saying we are seems to have made us both so much more relaxed. I'm going to start doing some yoga to try and help keep me calm my job and lttc has made me stressed and i think all the stress makes your body produce lots of adrenaline which can't be good. I think your walks do the calming thing for you. Maybe your OH could NTNP and you can carry on TTC , your OH is always up for it so it could work

Milty- hope your okay I'm glad the cysts have calmed down are you still on the progesterone?

Crystal- I haven't read Dr beers book I'm frightened it will freak me out! I did wonder when my colposcopy resuls came back as inflammatory cells do I have some infective process making my cervix hostile to sperm? Hope you're okay

Peace-You are the lady in the know, I love reading your posts

Hopeful- sorry Af got you I hope you feel better today

Westminster- welcome . I hope you find the thread supportive I think I would've gone crazy before now without these lovely ladies

LL-Hope you're okay

I'm off the progesterone And have my next scan later this week but I can tell they are gone.

 

[LLbean]

Good morning ladies! Glad you are back and had a blast Suki

ok, checking on my Zinc as promised
in prenatals...25mgs

is that enough?

 

[peacebaby]

Bah! Typed out 2 posts but now i see they're not here

Welcome Westminster, can't believe you read the whole thread, all our craziness!

Welcome back Suki & thank you, making me though. We all learn from each other and have something to share. I've learnt something from everyone here, thats what i love most .

Bmom i know you have the strength to get through anything

Crystal, when do you start your meds. I am meant to start the meds on cd7 then start progesterone on cd14 (only because i tend to ov very early).Not expecting much from this first immunes cycle, heck if i get nothing but a longer LP from it i throw a party I'm realistically planning on at least 3 months of this protocol. After that, no clue what we'll do.

Jen hope you're ok. I hope you can get a scan soon!

Hopeful, definitely give the Coq10 a go, it's just generally good for us.

LL, hope you're good. Wanted to ask, i know sugar is the ultimate evil but what do you think of honey as an alternative? I use a tiny amount to sweeten my green tea.

Hope everyone has great Sunday, we have a long weekend

 

[LLbean]

Honey is fine, or Agave... just don't go overboard...and look out for allergies. Actually is you use local bee it will help you with any airborne stuff you may get hehehe...but when you have the baby do NOT give him/her honey for the first year ok?

 

[peacebaby]

Haha LL i love that super optimistic attitude but i just can't think like that for myself, me & baby in the same sentence make me blank out. I used Agave for a while but it affected my hypoglycemia so had to stop though i did like it. But yeah i try to keep it to a minimum. Cheated big time yesterday with a Red Velvet cupcake, worth it

 

[LLbean]

well watch the honey in case it does that too

Morning Ladies

Peace- I have my FS appointment tomorrow morning, I was hoping not to ovulate until after that since its been like cd 22 etc the last few cycles I of course got my lines this morning so I'm 3DPO and o'd on cd11 an unheard of for me I'm hoping to get something resolved for the timing of the meds at the appointment, he wants us to have a cycle of IVF in Nov and I'm not moving forward with that until the immunity issues are taken care of...there's no point really I'm so excited you've starting your meds!!!!! I can't wait, its hard to stay positive but hang in there

Liz- The zinc I take is 75mg per tablet but I take that because that's the strength it comes in and FS said to take an extra zinc tablet because it takes alot of zinc to mature the egg in the home stretch I found a fab sweetner instead of sugar that's powdered and svery close to the real thing. I struggled with finding one that wasn't bitter or had an aftertaste.Headed over to your journal now

Bmom- isn't that always the way??when they don't want a baby they just pop em out

 

[H0pefulagain]

Crystal, I'm thinking about you today and hoping and praying all goes well with your FS appt and you get out of it what you want/need.

Thank you so much for the zinc info!

 

[Bravemom]

Good luck crystal

 

[Milty]

Thinking of you Crystal...

Let us know as soon as you can

 

[sukisam]

Crystal- hope it went well today keeping everything crossed you get a good plan.

Hi to everyone else hope you're all okay

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[readyformore]

Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well.

Congrats to the new bfp ladies. What good news.


I've been doing pretty good with not obsessing about pregnancy/infertility. I turned on my computer to log into FB and found myself here. You can tell I am a few days away from AF just for that reason.


We had a great vacation a couple of weeks ago and I was relishing my time with DH and the kids.....without babies. Occasionally, I can see the plus side to no more babies and I am trying to hang onto those few shreds of thought like a sanity lifeline.

Today I am digging out my boys' 12 month clothes to give to a friend that has 5 small kids and is a stay at home mom. She is a wonderful person, but they really have to stretch the budget and she could always use the clothes. It will make me feel so good to give her some of my kids things. I have this weird attachment to my kids clothes so this is a big thing for me to do. It's a step in the right direction I think.

I hope everyone is doing well. Despie, Jenn, Crystal, Suki, Peace, Milty, M4M, BAM, Hopeful, Jax, Butterfly and everyone else; Miss you guys bunches and I'd love to come on and chat with everyone more frequently, but it would just be a slippery slope for me.

 

[Milty]

Ready
I'm so glad to hear you are doing better

You guys are making me jealous with the vacays ...I hope to be joining you in Oct. and taking my DS to Disney World...or if DH gets his way Universial Studios

 

[peacebaby]

Hi Ready thanks for popping in & for letting us know how you're doing So nice of you to pass the clothes on to your friend, i'm sure she'll be very appreciative of such a meaningful gesture.

Crystal hope it went well today and you got the prescription you need.

Milty, i'm jealous of the prospect of both Disney & Universal Studios. I'm sure your ds is going to love it.

Jen, let us know you're ok xxx

Hope everyone has a good week
