Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[thethomsons]

Khloee thats brilliant news. Time to relax a bit now!

Can't wait till next few weeks pass and I have chance to follow in your shoes hopefully! CD2 seems like time going to be soo so slow lol

 

[garfie]

Lou - He's at Senior school - so if he doesn't stick to the timetable it is an automatic detention. I think I am going to speak to his form tutor this week and see if there is anything he can suggest as my son has autism and the kick offs are not fair on the family - but something that we have got used to, but as he gets bigger it will become more difficult

Today we all went out to a carboot and he wanted this football so we said here's the money go and buy it (we were right next to him) damn it a little boy got there first so I got pushed by my son great.

On the positive side I bought a wooden reflexology board you just place your feet on them and it massages your feet when you feel like a little prickle it tells you where your probs are ie: heart, stomach, hips etc well as the board is unisex it said my problems were in my stomach (very true as I suffer with IBS) my son had probs in his hypothalmus (which is his brain) very true. Well the main reason I bought it for was to help with the infertility issues I have a few minutes a night rubbing my feet up and down a board I figured it couldn't hurt

Hope the board helps Garfie! Might even be worth seeing a good reflexologist? Where I live there is a lady who specialises in fertility problems and the consultants at the hospital actually recommend that people go to see her - she is that good! I was going to go and see her but was lucky enough to get pregnant again this time very quickly. I think that once I am feeling less sick and more up to getting out and about again I will go to see her to help with relaxation and aches and pains etc of pregnancy x

Manny that is AMAZING news, congratulations! When are you due?

Lou/Cheryl I'm sorry about the ms, hope it gets better soon.

AFM my boobs are still tender, I'm knackered and starting to feel sick, seems to come in waves but is better once I've eaten.

[Laubull]

Girls I need reassurance this morning, I'm still temping and my temp dropped this morning, I also swear my boobs have gone from being really sore to nothing.

I've been awake since 5.30 scaring myself stupid that I'm losing this baby All I want to do is get through today and temp tomorrow to see it go up again. I've not had any bleeding but feel so low

Please, please, please let this be third time lucky.

Sorry for the selfish post

Thanks ladies for all the well wishes. It all feels a bit surreal right now and I'm trying to not to think about it too much because I don't want to get into a huge state. Below is my test from last night. I did another one this morning and the line was the same. I hope that isn't a problem. I had expected it to be darker but then the control line was lighter on this morning's one too so I'm hoping its just got less dye. The only symptoms I have is the odd hot flush, VERY weird taste in my mouth (I don't recall this from previous pregnancies) and being just plain STUPID. I keep forgetting everything!!!

LauBull - try not worry too much hun. It could just be an off-day. Can you call your mw or EPU and get some advice from them? Temp is still above cover line so hopefully that still a good thing. My fingers are crossed that this your little keeper!

Khloeee - your numbers are looking really good hun. Even if your progesterone is slightly low, your little bean could be just fine.

Garfie - the board sounds great. I want one!!! I went for reflexology a few days after ovulating. Maybe it played a little part in getting my BFP. I do chart but have been trying to work out how to link to my chart for ages. All I can wrk out is how to save it as an image which I've put in.

Preggy ladies - I bet you can't wait for your MS to stop. I can't wait for mine to begin

PopTart - you'r still in my thoughts. I hope the weekend has been good to you. Let us know how you're doing...

[Khloeee]

Laubull - I'm still temping too and have been dreading seeing a drop, so I can imagine how worried you must be feeling. Reiterating mannymoo's thoughts that it's not below coverline so does not necessarily mean bad news. I hate how slowly the days go by when it's a matter of 'wait and see'. Hoping your temp is up again tomorrow.

Mannymoo - Hopefully you'll have a darker line tomorrow. I tested every 2 days because I thought that would give more time to distinguish between lines, sometimes I find there's not much difference at all when I test every 24 hours. Also, I have a love/hate relationships with FRERS.... I don't know why, I just prefer to wait until later and see a good line come up on a normal strength test than see a line on a FRER at 9-10 DPO. Again, it's a case of waiting a couple of days, which is soooo frustrating. Also, I didn't have many sypmtoms at that point either - a bit of tiredness, that was it.

 

[garfie]

Laubull - I was told to step away from the thermometer when pregnant our body temps go up and down as for your symptoms they also come and go if you are worried though hun why not have a word with you m/w or doc - I'm sure you are both fine

Manymoo - I can see your line hun - try and relax, a weird taste in your mouth is a good sign (one of those that you can't get rid of no matter how much you brush your teeth) I am going to carry on using my board after all it may help who knows and it was a bargain

Khloee - How are you feeling today hun - any symptoms yet?

Babee - Sorry you are feeling so crap - but that has got to be good in itself it shows the baby is thriving When do you go back to the Docs again?

Pop Tart - We are all worried about you - really hope it was good news

Lou - Well he has done some of his homework so we shall see what the teachers say - hope you are feeling good today

Cheryl - How are you feeling hun

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - Still taking my grapefruit juice and now using my board I have got my Avon delivery today so very excited - it's like Christmas I have ten boxes coming so a lot to sort.

Hi Garfie! Not many symptoms yet. Just a little extra tired and feeling a bit faint if I don't eat lunch on time. At this point with my son, I didn't even know I was pregnant, if his pregnancy is anything to go by, it'll be a week or so before I get sore boobs and need to pee more frequently!

 

[Laubull]

Thank you all, you have all made me feel a lot better. I will definitely be stepping away from the thermometre tomorrow morning, once I've hopefully recorded a higher temp that is! My boobs do still hurt, I was obviously worrying and I now feel sicky/head achey so I hope it's a good sign. So difficult after 2 losses to not read into every little thing that happens.

Manny don't worry about the line, like Khloee said, give it a couple of days then test again. My DH and agreed I can only once a week until my scan but the resistrant is killing me. Have you tried a digi?

Fingers crossed and baby dust to all of you, why can't getting pregnant, staying pregnant and having a baby be as easy as some people make out!

[Lou15]

Manny- that is exactly what my FRER at 9dpo looked like and look at me now, vomiting for Britain! I did have one occasion where I tested in the afternoon, and then again in the morning, and was disappointed that the morning one wasn't darker- but a lot of it depends on how well hydrated you are at the time so I wouldn't worry. I would give it a couple of days then maybe do a digi.

Laubull- I've never really temped properly but have heard before that you should stop once you're pregnant. If you can, I would have a quiet, restful day today though, try to relax and be kind to yourself.

PopTart- thinking of you all the time and worrying and hoping you're ok.....guessing your silence means you're probably not, but do let us know when you feel you can

 

[Lou15]

So excited that I finally got myself a ticker and baby is the size of a prune!!

 

[mannymoo]

Lou - how did you do that? I've just been onto The Bump website because I want one too - even though I'm only the size of a poppy seed!). But I couldn't work it out?!?!

 

[mannymoo]

I found it!

 

[PopTart28]

Hi ladies

I just have to say Lou and Manny my word you both made me smile with the above posts

Ok just a quick mini update:

Friday was not what we expected as we had to have more blood taken for tests again on me and fluid from round baby taken this time - that was the scariest thing ive been through for a long time!!! Glad i didnt know i was going to happen as i probably wouldnt have gone in...

More tests as they wern't happy with the previous results so have had to wait again for the results.....have to go back in tomorrow lunchtime.....I hate bloody waiting!!!!!

As for my little growing bump and baby ive lost weight from the sickness and the consultant and my midwife are both monitoring this as well.

My baby seems to be ok, just have to wait for the next results and also try for another scan tomorrow as the little monster wouldnt stay still enough to get any good measurments or pictures for even the consultant to check things....

so im keeping my fingers crossed the little monster is at least in a better position and will keep still for long enough for them to properly check everything out as im running out of patience keep having to go to and fro not really knowing if baby is actually ok.....

They let us hear the heart beat again which was nice and made me and DH cry more than i already was from worry and strong but its not babys heart that they are worried about they have concerns about the back of babys head and internal structures mainly due to them not getting the best look at everything and also the only pic and look they did get when monster stayed still for them to snap a picture didnt look great to them....

So the waiting game is still on and both DH and i have got everything crossed that the results are good and they can have a proper look....they would be able to say thumbs up or down so i would finally know whats happening and get on with doing whats necessary.....

Either way it goes ladies i will get a picture tomorrow and post it up with the results so you can meet mini baby Hill and hopefully i can give you my correct due date instead of any other news...

A massive thankyou for all your support and I am trying to stay positive that i will have good news for you all, fingers still crossed...

So untill tomorrow.....Love to you all and look after yourselves and those growing jelly beans girls, not long and we should have a full house of lovely preggie ladies, xxxxx

 

[CherylC3]

Aw pop tart thts good can't wait for tomoro. Xxx

 

[mannymoo]

PopTart I'm very pleased to hear there is no bad news. I have a couple of friends that have had the fluid tests done that you are having and in both cases all turned out to be fine so fingers crossed, yours will be fine too. I will be checking in regularly to see your picture of your little bean.

Let us know how it goes. xxx

 

[PopTart28]

Thanks Cheryl and Manny Ill keep you posted.

Im not in the clear yet tho ladies but im doing my best to stay as positive as i can.

The consultant has looked at the only two pics they got of baby and they are concerned that the back of babys head has not formed properly (they cant see enough calcification of any bone round the back of babys head at the moment so not great) and there are some things they are not too happy with on the inside either but didnt want to go into too many details at this stage with us which to be honest im ok with as im worried enough about my baby as it is and wont cope with any more details to process.....

So we will get the blood and fluid results back tomorrow and be able to have another scan, so fingers crossed baby is in a better position so the consultant and his team can get a proper look at every part of baby this time....

Then we will know if we are ok to continue this pregnancy but will be monitored closely till birth or will have to terminate it..(this would kill me)

So stay positive for me and baby as i really want to get and give you all good news tomorrow......

xxxx

 

[Khloeee]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow, Poptart. I really hope you get good news.
