Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[garfie]

Manny - so pleased your boobies are hurting (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) glad you have chucked the thermometer!

Elaine - Has your new bed arrived yet?

AFM - CD13 and monitor still on HIGH - temp as high as yesterday so maybe I have O this cycle (small cheer), well ladies off out to collect my soggy Avon books from the Village in the pouring rain - lets hope its worth it

Woohooo Garfie - looking good for this month. I see you did have a dip and then a rise last month too but temp didn't stay up so fingers crossed, its worked for you this month!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Yes the bed has arrived! Just in time for my hopeful OV time this week or next! On CD 11 and reckon will OV about CD 18(ish) and your supposed to try BEFORE OV, is that right??

Glad you are dumping the thermometer Manny moo!

Garfie - I don't temp so have no idea about all that but keeping everything crossed you are successfull and we can get BFP together!

 

[Laubull]

Manny - yea for symptoms and for resisting the thermometre!

Garfie - I REALLY, REALLY hope you've ovulated

Elaine - enjoy that new bed ;-) Yes you must try before O, not just on O day. Sperm can live for up to 5 days so try to get lots up there, keep you hips up after for at least 15 mins too, everything is worth a go! I'd go for at least every other day until you've O'd - good luck!

AFM - I got 3+ this morning on a CB digi, yeaaaaaa I am so happy, although the worry is still lurking in the background. I've book my reassurance scan for 5th October and doctors appointment for the 8th. PLEASE be ok baby

Good luck and hugs too all!

That's great Laubull. Always reassuring to see that 3+ sign on a CB digi. And you should be able to see a heartbeat by the time you have your scan!

 

[Laubull]

Thanks Khloee. I really hope we see a heartbeat, they say once you've seen one your chances of a mc go down to about 2% but I am sure I won't stop worrying.....

I need to stop prodding my (.)(.) and just accept I am pregnant but can't help it!

[Khloeee]

Oh really? I didn't know about that statistic. How does that explain MMCs then? Anyone know? From what I've read on these forums, they seem so common.

I know what you mean about the worry. I don't think I will stop worrying about MC/MMC until I'm over 14 weeks. Will see how I feel nearer the time, but don't think I'm going to announce my pregnancy until after I've had the 16 week midwife check and heard the heartbeat again.

 

[Laubull]

I found it here: https://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/information/ultrasound-scans/

Once I've had my reassurance scan we will tell our parents and close friends, everyone else will wait until 12 weeks+.

Laubull I'm also going for my first scan on 5th. Eeekkk! I will only just be 6 weeks so might be a bit early for HB but I'm hoping we will get a glimpse of it. What time is your appointment? Mine is 10:30 SA time (9:30 your time).

Elaine - I strongly recommend SMEP. You DTD every other day from CD8. Start OPKS on CD10 and when you get your positive OPK you BD that night and the 2 following nights. You then have a nights break and BD one last time after that (although I always skip the last one). It worked for us. And I also think that raising your hips helps. And I also think that if you can have an orgasm after your pattern, that is supposed to help too - sorry if TMI!!!

I don't think I'm going to stop worrying until about week 16 too. My last pregnancy was perfect up to 11 weeks. We had a HB of 160 on 2 scans so although chance of MC drop after seeing a HB, its not going to stop my worry.

 

[Laubull]

Oh Manny lets hope it's lucky scan day then! Mine is at 11.55am.

You might be lucky a see a heartbeat, a lady on another thread saw one at 5+4.

Yes Elaine try SMEP, it's a bit strict but worth it if you get a BFP!

I suppose wherever you are in a pregnancy you worry after you've had a loss, I really hope we all have a rainbow babies next year

[thethomsons]

I'm honestly not being barer of bad news just thought I should mention that I saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks and when I went at 8 weeks it was gone Sorry for depressing post. :/(

Afm def going for the smep method though might be every night for next few nights while we enjoy our new bed lol

 

[thethomsons]

Decided not to Dtd tonight as have tried last two nights and need to give DH time to restore!! Going to stick to every other night till ov and do smep idea more or less. Have received the robitssons cough syrup now for taking at ov time but still not sure if I should or not!? Any thoughts? It's supposed to make cm even more attractive to spermies! I also have pineapple juice when should I drink that. Also going to take baby aspirin but thought would wait till ov positive. Consultant told me if tests come back and I have no clotting issues then it won't matter if taking baby aspirin so feel ok about that.

How is everyone?

Pop tart and Cheryl not heard from you in few days hope everything ok xx

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine do you use pre seed? If not, I highly recommend it. I'v heard about the cough syrup but not sure when to take it. I tries grapefruit juice around Ov time.

 

[thethomsons]

Very quiet in here today hope everyone ok xx

 

[Laubull]

Yes it is quiet...I've been non-stop with work all day

Elaine, I can't help much on grapefruit juice but baby aspirin is meant to have lots of benefits....taking it from the beginning of your cycle stimulates your follicles in your ovaries and its meant to help produce a better uterus lining; then there are also the blood thinning benefits. I hope it works for you

Hope everyone else is ok.

[mannymoo]

I also think you should be taking baby aspirin already. Maybe start it now before you ovulate.

hope everyone is well. I got my 3+ on digi this morning so its a good day this side of the world. Its exactly 3 weeks to the day since Ov (according to FF) so the test is spot on. And it came up within seconds so I'm hoping thats a good thing!

[garfie]

Manny - that's great news for you, so when do you go and see your doc/ have a scan etc?

Elaine - I am taking the aspirin and have been since Sunday, I also drank the grapefruit juice but have ran out now as I'm on CD15.

AFM - CD15 - monitor on HIGH - temps are still all over - not got a clue when the due will be testing around the 8 October though as you know me never could resist POAS

[mannymoo]

Garfie my first appointment is a week tomorrow. Already so nervous and so excited. Hun I'm concerned that your temps are still jumping. I was really hoping they would stay nice and high and it was looking so positive. Are you also doing OPKs together with your fertility monitor? And have you noticed any other Ov signs like EWCM or cramps or aching boobs? I really think that if they continue to jump around you should go see your doc and try get a script for clomid or something similar.

 

[Lou15]

Manny hooray for the 3+

Elaine- keep at it with the BD-ing! I think every other night best. I think might be worth starting your aspirin now too xx

Garfie don't know what temps all over the place means but hope you get things sorted and join us in the pregnant gang soon! x

I have been quiet as unfortunately I'm back at work and it's killing me! I just want to sit down sometimes! Vomiting more now that I'm back at work too- rest definitely helps more than anything. Hopefully will pass soon but for now I'm off to bed! x

Good evening ladies

I hope this find you all in good spirits and doing well.

Just a little update, im sorry ive been quiet too but ive also been having a hard time with sickness, not managing to keep enough down but am doing my best to keep eating and drinking lots during the day so hopefully im managing to keep 40% at least in my system.

So the main changes since i was last online is i am now in the second trimester and as my inner woman is and has been doing all week is jumping up and down sreaming with joy that ive made it this far...... DH and I are sooo unbelievably happy.

So we are heading down to visit parents, siblings and a few of our close friends in the morning and over the weekend will be announcing our wonderful news to them......

We have enjoyed and loved having this as our secret over the past few months and as i have now got no choice but to wear maternity trousers (however they are in a smaller size due to the weight loss) we have decided that as we are taking a trip to see everyone as it is DH birthday tomorrow and they wont be expecting our other news it was the perfect time to announce it to them...and besides with my history and the fact that we are over the moon and hoping to move closer to family really soon its the perfect time...

So im sending hugs, happy thoughts and lots and lots of baby dust as always to you lovely ladies, and i will check in with how it went and how we told them all on monday once we are back at home.

Love to you all and have a wonderful weekend, speak soon, xxxxx
