[broodymrs]

I feel like that too atm Lucy. I have a loft full of stuff that can go if it's not getting reused. Hoping the appointment on Tuesday will be helpful for us as I am at that point of feeling it won't happen

Cheer up!! xoxo

I think that's what has done me jannah. I've been really relaxed this month and then one of my friend had an 'oopsie'. Except it wasn't because she wasn't on any contraception and now she's saying she doesn't know if she wants the baby and her Dh is getting a vasectomy regardless of the outcome of this pregnancy. I can't even speak to her, I feel so bitter. She took no precautions and has now been given a previous life but then has the cheek to be upset about it! Meanwhile I'm over here doing everything I can and still not getting pregnant. Dh has agreed with me that we just need to go to the appointment Tuesday with an open mind and trust the Drs. I'm just hoping it's a relatively quick and easy fix

Fingers crossed. My ds goes to nursery 3 days and loves it. He's really sociable and outgoing as a result. You only have to put him in a few hours a week if you're going to be upset leaving him.

 

[lucy_smith]

I see all these oopsie threads and it just gets to me :/
So how's everyone gettin on this cycle?
I don't know what's changed with me but I am constantly having the urge to bd, I just feel like I want it all the time! And not just because We are ttc .

 

[slammerkin]

Enjoy the urge to BD whenever it comes! Lol. I was just thinking this morning that I don't know how I managed all the BD while TTC. The thought of it turns me off now, lol. Poor DH.

 

[broodymrs]

Wss^^! I find bding such a chore. If you're wanting lots of it go for it!

I've had an eventful few days, I'll try to summarise!

Faint bfp sun night. Dh was a massive a-hole - don't even want to get into that but it's on my journal if anyone is interested. Lots of bfns followed that bfp and af arrived today so either chemical or evap. I'm thinking chemical as I thought I had faint bfps before the more obvious one. Consultant appt today.
He reviewed test results to date and said dh's sperm needs retesting as he never trusts the results from the initial hospital as they don't do the tests quick enough but given the existing results he suspects it will be fine.

He actually said my ultrasound and hormone levels were fine. He said some small follicles aren't a problem and slightly high/low hormone levels not a big deal. Progesterone of 27 is sufficient to maintain pregnancy (he says). They've rechecked my prolactin as I have month round sore boobs and still leak milk but he said high prolactin is a really quick and easy fix. I have a further appt to flush my tubes out next Tuesday.

So that's me in a nutshell

 

[broodymrs]

Oh and my colleague at work is pregnant and has decided to confide in me. I now have to keep it secret which I'm rubbish at. She had problems conceiving her first so just didn't go back on the pill and was surprised how quickly it happened. Yeah that was my plan too 🙄

 

[slammerkin]

Aww broody, sorry about the CP. But great news that you're making progress with a doctor. Does high prolactin inhibit pregnancy?

Congrats to your coworker, but it must be frustrating to have that secret and to be TTC yourself. I told a coworker that we were TTC, but haven't told her about the pregnancy yet. Kinda wish I hadn't told her about the TTC, because now I'm just waiting for her to ask how it's going and being stuck having to lie. I don't want to tell work until 12-ish weeks.

My first scan is tomorrow! Nervous and excited. Hoping we see a little baby is actually growing in there. I hate early pregnancy so much. I'm still only mildly nauseated most of the time, but it's just a constant low level of "ick" feeling. I don't know how people have lots of kids or survive repeated losses and do these early stages again and again. If this one didn't work out I don't know if I could put myself through it again.

 

[lucy_smith]

My sisters pop round quite a lot, and every time they do they go on about having another baby, and that I better have one soon and that I wouldn't want a big age gap. And i can just ignore it do so long.... But it's now constant!
I just wish they would give me a break!

Anyone know the rules about seeing the dr about fertility in the uk? Does everyone have to wait the full year? What if I have endometriosis? Don't want to see the dr for them to laugh in my face....

 

[lucy_smith]

Slammer kin how did your scan go?

 

[slammerkin]

Ooh forgot to update. Scan was good. Saw our little blob and saw the heart beating. Even got to hear it briefly. It was 130 bpm.

Sorry Lucy, that's very annoying of your sisters. I'd be pretty sick of it.

I don't know how things work in the UK, but maybe ask your gyn what the options are.

 

[broodymrs]

Thanks slammer. Glad your scan went well. Yes prolactin can cause problems conceiving. It's why bfing women often don't conceive but I am ovulating so that's something at least.

Lucy I'm not too sure on the rules. I tried going last time and was told to wait the year and I had endo on my record. This time I've not been on bc for 2.5 years so they just referred straight through. I've got a feeling it's 2 yrs now before they investigate. Perhaps be a bit economical with the truth if you're feeling desperate?! They should investigate your endo regardless of ttc time if it's causing you issues

 

[lucy_smith]

2 years? Great .....
Well think I will see how I get on until the end of the year and book an appointment!
Hoping i don't have to wait that long!
My pain seem to be getting worse with each month that goes by, so if this carries on I may be at the drs before the end of the year to see what they say

So glad your scan went well slammer !

Congrats on the job jannah! My advice on daycare is to go with the one you like the best and who you have confidence that they will take good care of your baby
