Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Laubull]

Welcome mommylov, fingers crossed for a BFP this month and your Christmas baby

Lou, I CANNOT believe you are still in your pre-pregnancy jeans, I wouldn't get mine over my thighs, but then I have put on 2.5 stone, oops! Get bd-ing and bouncing on the gym ball, you WILL get that baby out soon, positivity! Oh I love your lovely bump too, so neat and petite.

Garfie, good luck with your appointment, hope it goes well

I hope everyone else is well. I've had a really busy week but looking forward to the Easter weekend, think I am going to get my hospital bag packed, just in case. I had a midwife appointment yesterday and everything is perfect, baby is still head down so I am hoping he/she stays there, it really does feel like I've cycled 50 miles by the end of the day, I'm waddling like a penguin! 5 weeks left at work, whoooop!

Have a great Easter everyone

Morning Ladies

Well I went to see the FS yesterday - at least she never put the MC down to my age fully she gave me a load of statistics and then some dates for various tests depending on my cycle dates

A blood test CD2 - CD5

A further blood test - CD18

A HSG

An Ultrasound

Clotting Blood Tests

Chromosome Blood Test

All of the above is great news and she will be able to see what is going on with my body - she was interested in my charting as well and could see just from glancing how long LP was, cycle, AF etc.

These tests are carried out in another county so looks like I will have to be traveling a lot too

For the next 3 months however until all the tests are back she has recommended protected sex in fact she stressed that abstaining would be even better no chance of an oopsie - of course I will test this month just in case

So ladies I will continue to temp as that at least gives me some indication as to when she will arrive.

And I will continue to pop in here from time to time and cheer you on but at the moment I am feeling very deflated of course I can understand the reasoning behind but............

Garfie sounds like fs is pretty good. Glad she looked at charts and your getting all the tests done.

I had my fs f/u today. Total waste of time. Saw junior again. He wouldnt look at charts. Said everything normal, try aspirin and if no luck in 12months go back. I was like im 38 been trying for since aug 2011 i dnt have time to waste. I asked about clomid or progesterone no to both. So came out sobbin poor oh he didnt no what to do then had to go back to work just down the corridor!

Sorry rant over. Garfie i share your frustration hope we beat this

 

[mommylov]

Garfie, best of luck! I agree and it sounds like you and your FS have a great plan of attack! Sending you lots of your way!

Hope everyone is doing well! CD8 for me today. Put on my estrogen patch today and starting BD tonight! REALLLLLLY hoping this is the month! Oh and I start taking Tussin tonight as well. I dont know if any of you have heard of "Yes Baby" but we are adding that as well. We have used Pressed a few times but it doesnt seem to do the trick. Maybe I used too much but thought change was good!

 

[bagpuss19]

Garfield sounds like your appointment went well.

1 week today until my scan. I feel awful just sicky all the time I refuse to complain as if I am lucky enough to have a sticky bean I feel I am not allowed to. I feel bad for my DS tho as I really have to drag myself about to do anything.

I hope this week passes quickly as I feel it's been such a long week. Also I hope it allays my fears a bit or am I just going to stress till the 12 week scan??? what did others in my position feel?

It's so hard after mc I want to be excited but at the moment I feel a bit stuck in time mentally not knowing if things will be ok or not. Argh!!

Happy Easter everyone! Xx

 

[twinkle_paws]

Hi girls! Sorry it's been ages..................

I am so excited that there are babies nearly on their way!

Lou, your bump is lovely!! I def think it dropped between your 2 pics......fingers crossed your wee man makes and appearance soon. Sorry you are feeling so rubbish still.

Cheryl, not long til the 9th!! You must e busy busy getting everything prepared, how exciting!!

SATH, I feel your frustration, do these Dr's no realise that a year is a life time away when ttc??!! Could you get a second opinion? I have my fingers firmly crossed for you that you conceive naturally and get your sticky baby, your really deserve it

Garfie, your Dr sounds like she really took time to go through everything and I know 3 months not trying will be frustrating but hopefully it will all be worth it if she finds something that can help you xx

Bagpuss, not long til your scan now, good luck. Sounds like you are defo preggers with all those lovely symptoms though

Mommylov, good luck for testing day!!

Laubull, all going well by the sounds of it, hope you are enjoying your easter weekend and getting your bags packed, must be getting very real now

Manny, hope you are doing well, not long for you now either, are you finishing work soon?

Cupcake, how are ya? Hope baby baking away nicely, when is your 20 week scan?

Elaine, how are you doing?

AFM, all going well I think. Got a wee bump now but not convinced it's not just fat as all my clothes are def tighter, bought my first pair of maternity jeans yesterday!! Have midwife on Tues, hoping she will use Doppler to listen for baby's HB. Did anyone else get this at 16 week check? I just want some reassurance that all is as it should be as next scan not til 2/5/13!!
Also, when did you al start to feel movement? I keep thinking I feel something like bubbles but not sure if I am just trying to convince myself!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

Thank you ladies for the warm welcome and wishes!

so nervous but excited for today's scan! Now if the next hour can just go by faster, that would be great!

 

[mommylov]

Scan went great! Best results to date in my ttc journey. I have 2 follciles this month, I usually only have one. They are at 18mm & 23mm and lining is at 7.5. Seems like I have a better chance and may even release 2 eggs. PRAYING Im pregnant this month.

 

[thethomsons]

Hey girls sorry not been posting for a while, been keeping updated with posts and glad everyone doing well. Dh ruptured his achilies at football and is in plaster for three months with no weight bearing so things been very difficult as i have had to take on a lot more when i shouldn't be!! Its hard when u dont have an option!!

Cheryl can't believe your section is next week!! Where has time gone??

Poptart and Lou have you had yet?? Can't be long??

Mannymoo - how u getting on?

Everyone else- love keeping updated with your posts!

Welcome to new girls, this is a lucky forum !!

Afm I'm still off work with pain from operation but pregnancy wise things going well! I feel MASSIVE and have really noticed in last couple of days that's energy levels are dropping and I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. I'm just over 28 weeks now and time is going pretty quickly which I am surprised at considering I am off work! I have a scan and a consultant appointment tomorrow so hoping that everything goes ok with that. Be good to see baby on screen again and get another bit of reassurance that our baby is all boy!!

Sending good luck vibes to those who need it and hugs to those who need them too, looking forward to some birth announcements soon! Haven't we all come a long way xxx

 

[bagpuss19]

One day left!!!!! I've been really busy this week so time has flown and I haven't had time to think about the scan. Still no bleeding but I'm really nervous of no heartbeat. 3 weeks has seemed like such a long wait. Will update tomorrow :/ xx

 

[mannymoo]

Hi Ladies - hope everyone is well. Sorry I've been a bit quiet. We were away for the long weekend.

Lou - any sign of baby yet? You've been a bit quiet on here so I'm wondering if things are happening?

Twinkle - I was definitely feeling proper movement by 16 weeks so I'm sure thats what you can feel. It didn't get consistent until about 18 weeks though. How exciting.

Sath and Garfie - glad you're both getting to see your FS's. Pity the solutions are not instantaneous but hoping that things will be moving forward quickly for you both.

Elaine - oh dear. Between you and DH, you're both feet-up at the moment. Hope you're feeling better. Did you decide what to do about work yet?

Bagpuss - everything crossed for your scan. Stay positive and I'm sure it will all be great. Try get a pic that you can share with us...

Mommyluv - your scan results sound great. And I just checked out your chart - looking great. Welcome to the 2WW. LEts hope it goes quickly and has a successful result at the end!

Laubull - did you pack your bag? I'm planning on doing that this weekend but need to get a bag first!

Cheryl - only 5 more sleeps until you meet your LO!!!!! OMG!!!!

I'm sure I've missed out so many people but hope everyone is well.

 

[mommylov]

Thanks mannymoo! I hope yoe enjoyed your long weekend

Been having some gnarly O pains this cycle like I did last cycle so I hope that means that this is going to be another strong cycle. I guess Ill find out next week when I go for my progesterone test!

Hope this finds everyone well!

 

[Lou15]

Sorry ladies no exciting news from me as yet, just been a bit quiet on here as have had a really bad cold, which has been a bit miserable on top of all the other late-pregnancy aches, pains and tiredness! I have been getting on and off AF-like pains in my back and abdomen -always constant for a few hours and then they stop again- but nothing else. They will try to do a membrane sweep at my appointment on Tues if nothing has happened by then.

Twinkle, can't believe you are 17 weeks! Fantastic! I agree that it must be baby you are feeling, but I used to doubt myself too until the movements became stronger.

Elaine, poor you, you and your family have had such a hard time of it! So sorry to hear about DH and the extra strain that it is putting on you. But look at you in 3rd tri now!

Garfie, sounds like they are being very thorough with you which is great.
But, SATH, I really feel for you- a year seems far too long to have to wait before anything further is done. I thought they recommended seeing your GP if you'd been trying for 6 months with no success and are over 35? Obviously having had losses is not quite the same, but surely that still suggests they think action should be taken sooner rather than later if you're over 35? I think you have every reason to be a little pushy and try to be seen again sooner, although of course I very much hope that you get pregnant quickly in the meantime!

Mommylov, sounds like a great cycle for you! Imagine if you are the first of us to have twins!!

Bagpuss, good luck for tomorrow, we will all be thinking of you, keep us posted.

Manny, hope you had a great weekend away. Now for you to get a bag and get it packed!

 

[mommylov]

Thanks Lou hehe! I dont think Ill hav twins lol but hoping that gives me better chances for one healthy bean!

OMG, you are almost ready to deliver!!!!!! So exciting!

 

[bagpuss19]

Hi everyone

We have an 8+3 baby with a heartbeat!!! Yay! I have a tilted uterus so when she was saying look u can see the heartbeat here I was like where!????! Panic but actually saw it on her screen better phew. Felt a bit like that episode of friends where Rachel keeps loosing the baby in the scan pic! Looking forward to next scan when my uterus will have popped forward. No pics I'm afraid as the Epu don't do that but I feel a lot better. I have a good feeling about this pregnancy but your body can fool you as we all know!!

Thanks for your support

Xx

 

[twinkle_paws]

That's great bagpuss!! Now relax and enjoy being preggers! When do you get your next scan? The difference between early scan and 12 weeks is amazing!

Lou, sounds like your body is building up to something, I can't wait for you to have your baby

Good luck mommylov, chart looks promising for Ov and you certainly covered all bases

Elaine, sorry to hear you and OH are having a tough time, take it easy. And yay for tri 3!!

Saw MW on tues and hear heartbeat, most amazing sound!! She also hear baby kick. I have felt a few more definite movements last couple of days and it is so reassuring feeling baby move around, I love it!!

xxxxxxxxx

 

[mommylov]

Bagpuss... regarding the friends episode! lol Yay so glad your little bean has a heartbeat and you got to see it! Just keep sticking and growing little one.

Thanks twinkle! I was going to consider today as 1dpo but then got crosshairs this morning and its saying that Im 3dpo I normally start Crinone on 3dpo but going to hold off one day and sneak in another bd session tonight. Ill start the Crinone tomorrow morning. Heres hoping the one "extra" day of bd does it! Oh and yay forgreat scan and feeling/hearing baby! Thats wonderful!

Happy Friday ladies!!

 

[Lou15]

Hooray Bagpuss! As I said before, can't remember the exact statistic, but if you see a heartbeat at 8+ weeks, the chances of miscarriage drop massively! I think you're going to be another 3rd time lucky!

And Twinkle, hooray for hearing the heartbeat and feeling those movements!

I am feeling very crampy and uncomfortable tonight so fingers crossed things are really getting going now.

 

[mommylov]

Lou, I hope so!!!! soooo exciting!!!

 

[bagpuss19]

Thanks Lou fingers crossed. My jeans already don't fit argh!
