TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BelleNuit]

Thanks BabyC! I would love to hear you all say "I told you so" haha

I hope your right Golden!

Thanks for all the positive vibes this morning ladies, I needed it!

So doctor didn't wanna book scan early since I never had mc and it's a risk to baby to go thru early scan. He will see me every 4 weeks and my scan is at 12weeks.

He said everything looks normal, we will be doing an other blood test run and that's all. I will get the results by Monday. Prenatal screening, hcg and progesterone we will check.

 

[greenarcher]

YAY!

Ho man... I hope she stays away Belle! Twins would be awesome!

Bella, you're totally pregnant

Golden - i didn't think scans were risky? Did he give a reason?

Golden - i didn't think scans were risky? Did he give a reason?

He said scans are not healthy for babies especially before 12 weeks, unless baby is at risk doctors don't wanna put the babies under that risk. I read online that ultrasound waves can be risk and cause birth defects so doctors shouldn't be handing out scans.

Ugh my pOat disappeared.

Puma and Babyc I'm praying you see your BFP in very near future.

TJ you'll be back soon enough. Your future peanut is patiently waiting for you. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and get pregnant first cycle.

Golden. Ears. Already. Howner quick they turn into people. I've been trying not to read what's going on. I'm nervous it will jynx it. I haven't had best luck in the past. (Really I'm already super excited so I've already set myself up for disappointment /). Praying for healthy babies all around.


Ugh. I can't sleep.

Thanks Dear!!!!!!

I didn't know early scans where bad either. I had one at 6 weeks with my son. Probably because of past MC and I was so stressed it would happen again. The scan calmed my nerves.

So from reading our posts I guessing somebody at some point will have twins. I've been told we have twins in our family but don't have any in my immediate family. So I don't think it will be me. Lol

Anybody testing soon? I'm really feeling summer is lucky for us.

 

[BelleNuit]

I will be testing Sunday evening if AF doesn't show

 

[BelleNuit]

Well girls, I started spotting so I'm most likely out. My spotting is way lighter than previous months so I think the B6 is helping. I'm going to up the dose a bit higher this next month and see if I can get rid of the spotting altogether before tapering down.

Can't believe I'll be on to my 8th-10th cycle (depending how how I count it) in a couple days

 

[BabyC4Me]

Nope! not testing soon...i think i just started my TTW....

dont know when i Oed but im on CD 17, last day of "fertile window" according to Ovia's dumb ass app.

...maybe 1-2DPO?

keeping yall posted along the way!

[BelleNuit]

Thank you BabyC. I'm going to enjoy some wine tonight and not even worry about it.

Good Idea girl!

We cant control everything ...

 

[puma1986]

Thank you BabyC. I'm going to enjoy some wine tonight and not even worry about it.

As much as AF sucks, it's always a HEALTHY sign of our reproductive system. And there are women who have completely unpredictable cycles. We have that to be thankful for. You're not totally out yet. But either way... Definitely relax tonight!

 

[puma1986]

I'm so crampy and I have no CM. AF isn't due for at least another 7 to 9 days. No CM is definitely NOT a common symptom for me at this point and it's usually not a sign of a BFP either. If I'm going to cramp at least let it be for AF. Ugh. I feel so negative today.

 

[greenarcher]

Puma - Implantation cramping maybe??

Keep us posted, Belle! I'm hoping it goes away by tonight

 

[BelleNuit]

Oh man. Guys. I have Raynaud's Disease, which is a circulatory disease. It usually doesn't bother me except for when it gets too cold. But i was just reading that it's linked to infertility, poor implantation and miscarriage due to poor blood flow. I'm devastated. There is no easy fix for Raynaud's except for super dosing on niacin (a B vitamin) and trying to improve circulation. The problem with Raynaud's is your blood vessels spasm with emotional distress or with cold which restricts blood flow. I may have better luck with conceiving in the summer months

I'm going to take up jogging to improve circulation and super dose on niacin

 

[greenarcher]

Oh no! I would try doing self fertility massages to boost blood flow to the uterus

Good thinking. I'm going to look into acupuncture too

Awe belle! I'm sorry you have to deal with this! I've been researching it since you posted this and I tried finding some homeopathic remedies. I found some pretty decent things that might help?


-Trying relaxing breath to help relax the entire autonomic nervous system, including the nerves that control the size of the small blood vessels in the hands. Because stress can bring on attacks, relaxation training may help you avoid episodes.
-Try acupuncture which may decrease the frequency of attacks.
-Take 100 mg of niacin (vitamin B3) twice a day. This helps dilate blood vessels. Be aware, however, that his can cause sometimes painful flushing of blood to the face.
-Take ginkgo biloba to help increase circulation in the fingertips. The dosage is 120 to 240 mg per day.

One girls swears that taking the following herbal supplements on a daily basis completely cured her! Butcher's broom, odorless garlic and gingko bilboa. She said that she is literally symptom free and has never felt better!

Might be something to look into if you haven't already, love!

Green, that would be the most amazing thing ever. But I have little hope - it sounds too good to be true and something else I haven't mentioned that affects our ability to get pregnant.

My DH has Ulcerative Colitis. He had a really bad flare up almost a year ago and he was put on a really high dose of prednisone for a very long time. Prednisone totally destroys your body (but cures inflammation) and hurts your fertility. I wonder if his little swimmers can even swim

Ugh. I wish I could see into the future and know how long this was going to take.

EDIT: He's been slowing tapering down for a while - but they said that the quality of a mans sperm reflects what he was eating/doing 3 months prior.
