Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[PopTart28]

Morning ladies,

Bananas - it was my first month using Opks too so have fingers crossed for this month for you,

Lou, well done on sorting the scary stuff out at work, major weight off your mind and im sooooooo pleased about the docs finally pulling their fingers out and seeing you soo soon, looking forward to hearing how you get on and hope your getting on with your symptoms, good luck at the GP's

Manny, im really pleased you are feeling positive this month and i will be counting down the days with you till you test

Horseypants, it wont be long you will O soon and then can get cracking with BDing then we will wait with you for your TWW...let us know how your cycle is going wont you

Cheryl, I hope you are doing well, how go the symptoms and when do you get to go see your GP and sort out an app with a midwife? keep us updated

Welcome Babygabelt, Im sorry for your losses and hope you will stick with us all for your journey as you may have read this is turning into one very positive, uplifting and lucky thread indeed, we are going for a full house as Cheryl put it....so i wish you luck and am sending you love and hugs right now, im sorry its a short welcome for you from me but im alittle preoccupied today and will make the time for you another time I promise, i hope you can understand where im coming from and i hope you feel at home with all us crazy ladies here

Right im sorry if ive missed anyone but love to you all and hope you have a good day.

AFM - IM SOOOOO BLOODY EXCITED but nervous at the same time about today...... I couldnt get back to sleep this morning after waking early from the MOST vivid dream i have had since the start of this pg - I dreampt i had a beautiful little girl!!! and the real bit was that ive just had lots of friends all have little boys over the past 4months, such crazy dreams and after that I couldnt get back to sleep....
so now im playing the game of MUST HAVE A FULL BLADDER for my apointment.....its going to be hard especially with how frequent ive been having to go lately but i will manage it no matter how uncomfy i may be....
DH is quietly excited too but i think hes also abit nervous for me too which is really sweet....
So all i have to do is walk my woofs and then avoid going to the loo untill after my appointment which wont be fun but sooooo worth it, im just soo nervous about it its making me feel even more sicky than normal......oh well ill update once whatever happens has sunk in alittle ok ladies...

As for whats its like day to day for me at the moment - im being sick at least twice a day if not more some days, my boobs are soo heavy and sensitive now i have to wear a support bra at night and as i only have one non underwire bra at the moment ive got to go shopping this afternoon for some more, plus since about friday i just cant stand having anything touching, pressing on or restricting my tummy so i have to undo trousers when sitting or in the car and have a pair of PJ trousers that i can wear low on my hips for when im at home but i just cant stand it and it can make me feel more sicky than before so im already thinking about stretchy topped trousers to make it easier each day...

Right must take the woofs out then get ready to go.....

Wish me luck ladies....very nervous here....
Hope you all have a good day, xxxxxxx

Aw pop tart good luck Hun. Xx

 

[Babygabelt]

Welcome Babygabelt. Lots of positive vibes here and also lots of luck it would seem! Where are you in your cycle? It is amazing – I’ve so often felt that I’m the only person in the world to have 2 mcs only to find there are so many lovely ladies going through the same thing as me.

Just to bring you up to speed, we currently (already!) have 3 ladies pregnant (Lou, Cheryl, PopTart) and 6 ladies still TTC at various stages of our cycles (Me, Bananas, Dodge, Hosey, Elaine (theThompsons) and you). But I have a feeling that the pregnant group is going to be getting bigger soon – hopefully by 6!

Thank you Mannymoo And congrats to Lou, Cheryl, & Pop Tart!!! That really is good to hear, maybe this will be a lucky thread for all of us
I'm really new to the ovulating chart system, I don't necissarily count days from AF or anything like that. I'd like for nature to take it's course. DH and I are really NTNP, but I'm more leaning towards trying!! haha.
Just got done with AF a few days ago so that is where I am at lol

 

[Babygabelt]

Oh, and thank you for the welcomes ladies!!! lol
I would love to hear how everyone is doing btw!!

So can't wait to hear how all these scans go today!!!

Keep me updated ladies! I find this time waiting for o to happen so boring I love the tww waiting symptom spotting lol I drive my self crazy really!! Anyway I need updates to keep me amused!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Welcome babygelt, this is a fab place and everyone is lovely and so supportive. Having two m/c I felt like the only person on the planet to go through this and coming here has made me realise I'm not alone! Now two weeks and one day after d and c I'm patiently waiting on pg test to turn negative so DH and I can ttc again hoping we are joining those who are third time lucky! Where are you at babygelt? Xx

 

[horseypants]

poptart, real quick ladies, i think i o-ed yesterday and now am in the third 2ww since mc2. xo

 

[thethomsons]

Girls my pg test is getting fainter all the time and just wondering if anyone knows how long after negative that ov may happen? I have major negative opk at mo. I'm so impatient lol.
Well I'm back at work tomorrow after 6 weeks holiday Thinking prob do me good as something to keep my mind busy.
Any scan updates yet???!!

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine I think you could Ov quite soon after the test goes neg so keep a close eye! Work definitely takes my mind of TTC and makes the time pass much faster so hopefully it will do the same for you!

HoseyPants - we're only a day apart and also a 3rd TWW since last mc. 3rd TWW for 3rd Preg - surely it can only be good news? Fingers crossed.

xx

 

[thethomsons]

Pop - How did it go?? xxx

 

[CherylC3]

I'm waiting for pop tarts update.. Hope u are all well ladies??xx

 

[thethomsons]

Me too!

 

[Lou15]

PopTart is everything ok with you? We are all thinking of you.

Babygabelt, welcome to this lovely thread and wishing you lots of good luck!

Just a quick update from me- I saw the consultant today and also had a scan which was a nice surprise! Only 5w4d so just thickened uterine lining and a wee blob in there, but all good at the moment! They are going to see me and scan me every week in 1st tri, as apparently the only thing proven to help prevent further m/cs is lots of care, check ups and scans! Well, that's fine by me! Hopefully will see a heartbeat next week! That's all they did today though so nothing further to report for now.

Hope everyone else is all ok, will be eagerly waiting out the TWW with the ladies who are now in it! Hoping you can join them soon Elaine!

 

[thethomsons]

Lou that's great I'm so pleased for you! Such great stuff!! Glad to know they are going to take good care of you also! You must feel so excited!
Wish time would pass bit quicker so my ov starts etc. Being back at work tomorrow will help distract me!
Cheryl - hope u are doing ok. When is your scan??
Hoping Pop got on ok too.
Everyone else - hope you are ok today xxx

 

[Lou15]

Thanks Elaine! The consultant seemed so confident that everything would be ok that it's really rubbed off on me! He said it's far more likely to be all ok on the 3rd try than not. Hope you ovulate soon! xx

 

[mannymoo]

Lou that's amazing news. How lucky that they will scan you every week!
Poptart hope yours was also great news!

Night all x

Morning ladies im fine thanks...

Everything sounds good with you all and Im glad your all feeling and staying positive so far this month, thats good news

Lou, im very happy for you and that you are getting lots of appointments, If it helps give you peice of mind then its worth it and a surprise scan too - thats always nice.

Ladies I will get round to chatching up later if thats ok, as you can imagine things have become pretty real and exciting for me and DH and its hard to concentrate on much else - i feel like ive slept with a hanger in my mouth this morning, I cant stop smiling.....

So yesturday DH and I went for our early scan appointment and this is how we got on.....

We had to wait to be seen by the doc and nurse to run through Qs before going in for our scan which would of been fine however having a full bladder was making it hard to concentrate on anything properly. DH was great the whole time we were there and it really helped me not panic about what the scan might show having him with me.
Once we were in and half way through the Q's I asked if they would see me more due to my history and the consultant was great - he said I could have a scan if i was concerned about something and just needed to arrange it through my midwife which was a surprise but nice.
He said lots of women ask if anything can help to avoid another loss so i asked what he told them and he asked if i wanted the soft answer or as he put it the 'real' answer, in other words did i want the answer i wanted to hear or the truth... me being me opted for the truth as i dont want to be screwed about or have te wool pulled over my eyes this time...and was told that as long as i look after myself eg: eat well, get some mild exersice, monitor any changes and keep in regular contact with my midwife and GP, avoid heavy lifting, going up ladders etc lots of common sense points really that there should be no reason why, now ive got to this stage that i would suffer another MC unless my body detects something not working/developing right.
He also said like ive been told before (ive been told this more times than i thought possible for one person) that if its going to happen then unfortunately there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it....so i took this as i did the last times with an empty feeling of ill deal with it if it happens, pushed it as far to the back of my mind that was possible (which wasn't that far) and answered all the other questions before going back with DH to sit and wait to go in for my scan.....
As you can imagine i wasnt feeling that positive at this point after all that.

Well after a very nervous morning and trying not to drink too much water as i needed to have a full bladder, as you can imagine by the time me and DH had got in and been talked through all the questions etc then having to wait to go in again I was about ready to explode...I was sooo uncomfortable and my poor DH was struggling to keep my mind off it and not make me laugh.....OMG i nearly started crying before deciding I had to go to the nearest loo and WARNING TMI ;-) in brilliant practice of using my pelvic floor muscles managed to as DH put it 'release some pressure' on my poor bladder so i was alittle more comfortable.....Then finally my name was called and we followed the nurse through to the scan room.....

Once settled in the scan room with DH looking alittle nervous now at all the machinery all I can say is the lights were turned down, the gel was really cold and the pressure of the scanner on my tummy made me want to cry out as i was told 'wow nice full bladder' briliant......i asked why he'd said it and was told not everyone does it as they dont believe it makes a difference and all I can say is WOW - from what i was expecting and what he could show us very clearly because of my full bladder even tho it was rather uncomfortable was soooo worth the pain of him pressing on my tummy and me trying not to wet myself while starring at the beautiful image on the screen and the feeling of my DH squeezing my hand - it was the best day we've ever had together so far......

So what did we get to see? Everything, Im doing fine and we are over the moon and soo excited to let you all know its definately third time lucky for me this time round as we have a very stuck little jelly bean in there... YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!



I loved being able to see my little funny shaped bean attatched to the egg sac and after making a little squeecky noise of excitment my DH also squeezed my hand as he saw it too - OUR BABYS HEART BEATING!! OMG soo amazing to see its tiny heart going even all the way inside me......the wonderful guy doing our scan noticed we'd seen it and said i told you a full bladder helps and that after reading your past notes and seeing your face just now, I think you both deserve a real treat....

I couldnt believe it as the next minute the most wonderful sound filled the room and I couldnt help having a little cry as he had turned up the volume and we could hear our babys heart beating - strong, healthy and as DH put it 'going like a train'......I was totally overwhelmed and in awe and couldnt take my eyes off the screen...It was amazing and we cant wait till the next one....

After coming out of the scanning room i went straight to the loo as my bladder couldnt take any more and OMG it felt soo good after holding for that long and Im glad that as the scans go by I wont have to have as much water inside me for those which will be nice.....

So DH and me tried to keep straight faces as we then waited to go see the nurse and get the result sheet from the scan for my files which was quick and wonderfully positive and as we left the hospital and drove home the relief flooded through me after what we had been through and what we had just seen I couldnt believe we had finally got to see our baby...and everything was absolutely fine......

I did also get alittle piccy and yes its just like a little squishy jelly bean and the pic doesnt show half as much or as much detail as what we saw but I dont care, I will never forget what we saw and i love that my DH was not working away and was there with me for it.....we then had the best afternoon together and I had a few moments to myself and cryed in relief and disbelief that we have got our sticky bean this time round.....

I hope you all get yours soon and cant wait to compair scan pictures with you all, xxxxx

Ok so almost time to pop to see the GP and nurse and get my bloods done so need to go have something else to eat and prepare myself for that, then another wonderful day with my DH getting things ready for our weekend away together, x

I hope you are all well and getting on ok and i will log on and catch up wth you all later and will upload my little piccy for you too, xxxxx

 

[mannymoo]

Awesome. Poptart. So glad everything went well for you and I look forward to more updates. x
