Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[twinkle_paws]

Wow Poptart, you really have had a stressful time! So glad to hear that you and baby are doing well now. I think will be the same when I am in your position and not find out the sex. In my trust they don’t tell you anyway so takes away the temptation. Thanks for the info regarding vitamins/folic acid. Will pick up some folic acid next time I’m shopping. Do you have a blood clotting problem diagnosed or did your Dr just prescribe it anyway?

Lou, sorry your back/pelvis has been so sore. Hopefully your work will be supportive with this.

Lovely scan pic Khloee, sounds like everything is going well with bubs. Haven’t got a clue about nub theory but for fun I guess boy.

Manny, congratulations on a great 13 week scan, you must be thrilled! Going to guess girl, again just for fun!!

Elaine, nightmare, now writing my replies in word and copying…….hope you are well love.

Cupcake, hope AF comes soon and you can get back to TTC soon. I definitely feel better now that we are trying again.

SATH, any news????

AFM, getting so fed up. Still not Ov’d and have been spotting again and it’s CD 27. Worried I may be having an anovulatory cycle. I think I have had one before (cycle before BFP no. 2) and I think I may have PCOS. Spoke to Dr before about it as I have always had long irregular cycles and have quite bad acne but he said it was unlikely as I am not overweight. He did do some blood tests as I asked for them but all was apparently ok, except thyroid, which I am now on meds for. I see him again in December so may mention it again. It’s just so frustrating having long cycles as you feel you have fewer chances at conceiving than someone with regular cycles. That being said I have got preg 2 x so can’t be that bad I suppose. I just want a baby so much!!

Aw thanks Lou and Elaine, that's encouraging. I got preg after 6 months with 1st bfp (NTNP), then 1st cycle after AF after for 2nd bfp.....hoping its quick again next time! X

Evening ladies, I hope you are all well this week so far...

Lou - 20 weeks nice work honey , do what the docs say in regards to your pelvis/back pain ok. I havent got it as bad as you but took the advice for things to try and im doing better plus not being on my feet all day has helped massively so get that sorted with your boss asap, keep us posted ok.

Twinkle My Dr prescribed the additional folic acid and 'baby' aspirin due to mine and my mums note having similarities when its come to TTC and its also due to his experiences with women who have been TTC and experienced some losses - seemed to do the trick for me - Im now only taking the pregnacare like was suggested by my doc now im past 20weeks and all good so far....

Cupcake I fell pregnant in the 2nd cycle after my first loss and then straight after the second loss before AF so was obviously what my body wanted - I was just waiting for AF to show at some point then took a test as i felt 'different' and worked out AF wasnt due for 5days still so it was definately a BFP for me - thats the earliest positive result I have ever had.
I wish you luck and just get to it and see what happens...keep us informed and like some of the others have said any questions just fire away....

Right time for bed for me as ive had a not so good day sickness wise and had a few nosebleeds and headaches and now my back has started to hurt including my kidney area giving me some jip...which is probably due to not being able to keep down enough water today...

So im off to bed to hopefully wake up on a better day tomorrow.

Look after yourselves lovely ladies, xxxx

Hoping for a third time charm..! Have to bleed first though.. Little bit of me wants to think the numbers were down due to dehydration, but most of me wants this doomed pregnancy over and done with so we can try again ASAP.

 

[PopTart28]

OH MY GOD - 22 WEEKS TODAY!!!!!



Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



Cant believe im 22weeks......took another bump picture this morning its really round now and getting bigger and higher - love my bump, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[mannymoo]

POPTART - show us your bump. We want to see!

Maregracy - sorry for your losses. I hope this thread brings you lots of luck for a happy and healthy next pregnancy!

Twinklepaws - do you temp? Might be worth trying as OPKs don't always work for some ladies. Maybe you are ovulating but you don't know about it. My cycle after my miscarriages were definitely annovulatory (sp?!?).

Did I mention to you ladies 2 of my good friends were due the exact same day as me. We were so excited when we all told each other and all had our NT scans this week. Very sadly, one of the girls discovered a massive growth against the baby and they have had to terminate at 13 weeks. The termination was considered a medical emergency and she went into hospital straight away. The doctor said the growth had caused severe damage to the fetus. All very sad for her and her DH

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh that us so sad poor girl xx

 

[SATH]

Sad news about your friend Manny. I hope she is ok.

Hello board. I just found it, and I am glad I did. I am very scared and excited at the same time to be suspecting that I might be pregnant again. I will test in 5 days or so...

It all started in June, when I got my BFP. We were so happy! It was a very stressful time for me - personally and at work. I barely ate... I lost that baby at a bit over 6 weeks without ever seeing it on u/s... I really wanted to blame stress, not eating well... I needed to know the reason...

Well, I skip a cycle in July and get pregnant in August. It was different - no happiness, juts a lot of anxiety. At that time I was also stressed, and bad things happening in the family. Just a few days after my BFP my beta comes back very low, and my progesterone was almost non-existent. It was a chemical, and it caused so much pain and crying.. I was also away from everyone on a business trip, and cried a lot in a hotel room.

Then time healed my wounds a little. Basic recurrent miscarriage tests came back negative. And here I am, ready to be excited if I get a bfp. I mean, I will never be blissful about it.. Not at least until I hear I heartbeat.. But I am ready to be excited. I have way less stress in my life right now and feel very ready.

Reading you girls here gives me more hope then ever. I see people far along in there pregnancies here, which could only mean that the third time has the charm for them! And I hope it will be for me too.

 

[Lou15]

Maregracy and Barhanita, welcome and I hope this thread is as lucky for you as it has been so far for me (touch wood!).

Manny, so sorry to hear about your friend, what devastating news, my heart goes out to her.

SATH, glad your gran seems to be doing better now.

I still feel like I am actually dying after being up all night thurs-fri on call outs, it was awful especially with my wonky pelvis! I stuck up for baby yesterday though and informed work that I was going home for an hour's nap- I didn't ask- since I think working all day, all night and then all day again pretty much violates health and safety law in pregnancy in BIG way. Anyway, hopefully a quiet day today will get me back on track and I will be able to update more tomorrow xx

Hi girls,

Been trying to keep up to day with posts but been soo tired at moment haven't been online too much!

Been worrying slightly again that something may go wrong, think it is because I have another scan on Thursday and last time I went for a second scan everything had gone so think that is on my mind. It is also SOO close to being time to share our news and I just soo hope I get my Christmas wish that we are keeping our little bundle. Its just like going to be AMAZING or S@@@@ there is no in between and I can't stop thinking about that.

Today I began to think that my symptoms seemed less and got into a bit of a panic but then bang about 4pm I had a eave of nausea and my breasts ached which made me thing actually I may still be ok. Have had no pain at all or bleeding and so tired can't move and in bed by 9:30 every night without fail. Do you think I am worrying for nothing girls?? This is the biggest week of my life I feel like it really is cause if everything ok at 10.5 weeks I think I may let myself get a little bit excited cause up to now been too scared. Just want to so bad and it could so easily be snatched away if fate is cruel.

When did your symptoms start to lesson girls as you moved near to second trimester? I'll be 12 weeks on 10th December which is not long!

Still to scared to book my midwife appointment as last twice I have booked it, something has gone wrong! Hoping if all ok on Thursday I can arrange my dating scan and then call midwife, I haven't left it too late have I? Just don't want to tempt fate.

Definitely feeling PG as I sit here so that is something, think it's just time I started worrying as its over a week since my scan where everything was great.


Sending everyone happy vibes and hope everyone doing ok at your own stage on this TTC/PG highway!
Welcome to the new girls, this definitely is a special place with lots of luck I reckon!!

Looking forward to hearing your opinions about how you felt at 10 weeks. Did you worry as much as me??

Love Elaine xx

 

[Khloeee]

I had the exact same worries Elaine. Every day I felt OK, I worried. 6.5-8.5 weeks was pretty bad for morning sickness, then had a week or so where I felt OK comparatively, then 10-11.5 weeks morning sickness got worse again. The week's 'break' before 10 weeks was very nerve wracking - that's when I took myself down to EPU and told a little lie about pain and spotting so they'd scan me again.

My symptoms eased at around 11.5 weeks, only the occasional bout of nausea now and my energy is back. Much earlier than with my son, when I was still feeling terrible at 14 weeks.

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh Elaine I understand how nerve wracking it is. We're your previous mcs mmcs so you had no signs until the scans? Both mine were, I don't know how you get past the not trusting your own body. You sound like you still gave lots of symptoms tho, and the tiredness is such a good sign. Its really normal to have these wobbles after what youve been through. Stay positive you are 3rd time lucky, everything will be so perfect for you and you will be able to tell everyone your news at Xmas.

Well, AFM, I got what I think was a + opk this am, and dh and I had dtd about an hour b4 so although we were planning on waiting for AF b4 trying again.....it's not really worked out like that :s

Lou - sounds like you are working too hard, your work should be taking steps to help you in your pregnancy.

Hope everyone else is ok xxx

 

[Barhanita]

Girls, you cannot imagine how much I am praying for you and want you to have a successful pregnancy. Because if third time is lucky for you, it could mean it will be lucky for me. I appreciate your levels of anxiety, and I think you are very brave going through it it remaining so strong!

 

[Barhanita]

well, I found out today that I am pregnant! go a faint, but pink bfp. THIRD time!
I really need your help, girls. How did you go through the first few weeks until you got your first u/s? It seems so scary.. I am afraid that my body only knows how to miscarry, but not how to be pregnant.

 

[Lou15]

Oh Cupcake, the 2WW begins! SO very much hoping you get your BFP and that it's 3rd time lucky for you!

Barhanita, huge congratulations; really hope all is well this time around for you; keep us posted.

Elaine, you sound like you're still really pregnant to me! Bed by 9.30 (often much earlier!) was standard for me in 1st tri! My sickness didn't go til 16 weeks but I think I was abnormally sick so I wouldn't read too much into that- I still feel sick now and was sick again the other night when I got a bit overtired and sore so don't be comparing yourself to me in that respect! I have every confidence that things will be ok for you; can't remember the exact statistic but I think consultant said that if you see a heartbeat at 8 weeks there's something like a 98% chance that you won't miscarry. So you're flying this pregnancy!

Feels like Christmas Eve for me today because tomorrow is 20 week scan day! Am so excited but also nervous in case there is anything wrong. I will post tomorrow evening and let you know how we got on xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw Lou enjoy seeing ur bubba again tomorrow, must be lovely to go to a 20 week and just look fwd to seeing ur baby!!!! Are you gonna find out the sex?

AFM I think the opk was +, it wasn't the most + one I've ever seen but ill do another this morning and see what that's like! I'm not worried if we get bfn this month tho, what will be will be x

 

[Barhanita]

Thank you! My test got a little darker today, and I am trying to be just happy about that. Taking one step at a time... I wish I was instantly 20 weeks or something like that!

 

[cupcake1981]

Congrats barhanita! Lol we all want a time machine when we get that bfp! X
