TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[Baby4MJ]

AFM- I'm already feeling really uncomfy today, I told my trigger shot last night so i know those follies are still growing. This also lets me know tht tomorrow after the IUI I will be really uncomfrontable again. I'm planning to come to work afterwards and stay as long as possible. I hope that Saturday I will be feeling a little better since it's a holiday weekend. Anyways I will update you guys tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow, FM - and you're right, the discomfort just means your follies are getting nice and ripe and ready to pop out some nice eggs! Prayers are going up for you that the IUI isn't too uncomfortable and that what you're going through now will pale in comparison to the BFP it'll bring!

 

[lavalux]

Great news, Padbrat! Way to go! Let us know about your test results on Monday.

FM,
Good luck tomorrow. I hope that you feel better by Saturday. Take good care of yourself and relax this weekend.

 

[missyt]

FM, best of luck to you tomorrow. I'm praying for you. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your long weekend and not be too uncomfortable.

Padbrat, congrats! I'm praying this is the one!

LynnB,
Thanks for asking about my progesterone test. I just got my results by email. I can't recall what the exact number was, but the nurse said my number was great. So, no suppositories and no more doctor's visits until next Friday morning, when I'll go in for my HCG blood test if AF doesn't show! I am so hoping that this IUI will be the one and the witch will stay away!

So, you will have your 2nd scan before your Javea trip, right? I hope you get great news and it starts off your fabulous vacation with lots of excitement! I'm praying for you! What can you except to learn from your 2nd scan? Can they detect a heartbeat yet or is is too soon?

Good news about the progesterone, fx'd this is your month & that the nasty witch stays away.

Yes, I have my second scan 2 weeks before we go away. We saw a hb at 1st scan which was at 6+6, so this scan should show a more detailed baby iykwim & we may even get to hear the hb.

Lava- finger and toes crossed that AF stays away!!!

Good luck for tomorrow.

Thanks ladies for all the prayers! So.. I went .... I was scanned... and..... it is a new pregnancy!! It is very early days... much earlier than normal, but the sac was clearly there and measuring 4mm. Had my bloods tested for thyroid (I have a dodgy thyroid), betas, glucose and progesterone... results on Monday. They are a little concerned at the strength of my pregnancy tests as I am so early and want to rule out an ectopic egg also being in my tube along with the normal one. Am back for the next scan on the 9th June.

Lava I am pleased your progesterone test went well... and here is hoping for a lovely BFP for ya ... and of course FM - got everything crossed that tomorrow goes well for you!

Lynn how you feeling? 8 weeks already?? OMG it seems only yesterday you were telling us you had your BFP and then of course Skye got hers too!

MA hope you and Amelia and feeling well! And she isn't kicking you too much lol

Welcome new ladies.... may your stay here be short, but know you are in the very best of company here x

Deb I'm so happy for you & so glad they're keeping a close eye on you. Hoping with all my heart that this is your little girl. How are you feeling? Have they told you how far along they think you are or is it too early for that?



I'm feeling fine. Apart from sore boobies & bloated belly I have no pregnancy symptoms but I'm not worrying about. As I told dh before my scan I refuse to have another mc, this baby is for keeps, so I'm trying to enjoy being pregnant & not worry too much, easier said than done but I'm trying.

 

[Nikki Leigh]

Well well, Pad! So happy for you! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. What was hubby's reaction?

Lava: Congrats on great progesterone #s. Mine were in the toilet last month. I didn't even bother this month.

Good luck tomorrow FM.

Thanks HA, MJ, and MA for the advice about the pain. I went home early from work yesterday, but not because of the pelvic pain, but terrible sinus headache (that seems to be from atmospheric changes, as I'm not at all congested. My boss suggests a CT scan. ) The pelvic pain seems manageable now (yesterday, it hurt to stand or bend over, but now it seems better--I just feel pressure/discomfort when standing).

I've decided that I either didn't OV at all, or OV days earlier than anticipated, so I'll be a bit "early" this month.

Hi Ladies,
I'm new and have been wandering around the forum for a few weeks, trying to decide where I belong. I think it's probably here (if you have room another one?) I am 39, DH is 34 and we are TTC #1. I have stopped taking the mini pill/cerazette about 3 weeks ago (after being on the pill for about 20 years) and haven't had any bleeding or anything yet. I didn't want children until about 5 years ago when I married my husband, and then he wasn't completely ready. so I used to tell people when they asked that I just wasn't very maternal - now pretty much everyone has stopped asking, although both our parents are desparate for grandkids..... I just hope we don't disappoint anyone (mostly ourselves!)

have read about 80 pages of this thread, and just wanted to say - good luck and to everyone,


Lou xx

 

[padbrat]

Thanks Baby, Missy and Lava... am speaking sternly to the universe to keep AF away from you Lava!!

Hey Lynn....TBH we don't really know how far along I am cos I never had an AF from my surgery 7-8 weeks ago... so I would guess about 3-4 weeks. Really early.... I am loving your PMA... and your piccy lol... am going to try and take a leaf out of your book!

Hey Nikki...Hubby's reaction was.... he didn't believe me so I had to do another CB hahhaha.... he is in shock like me cos we have always had to wait about a year before I fall again... so this is a bloomin surprise!

 

[padbrat]

Oooo nikki.... how are you feeling now chick? Hope you are feeling better!

Welcome Purple... always room for another lil one here!

Welcome, purplelou! As padbrat stated, there's always room for more...and as all the other ladies typically say...here's hoping your stay here is a short one, with a quick move on to the pregnancy forums!

Loving all the good and positive stuff in here

Pad...fingers are well and truly crossed hun

Lynneb, good luck with that second scan, and I also love how positive you're being (pass some my way please!?)

FM, good luck for the IUI

Argh can't remember where everyone is

Has anyone heard from skye?!

and welcome purple lou

AFM, having a mental break from TTC this month. I assumed that I would ovulate earlier this month as it became a 24 day cycle instead of a 26 so I burned the OH out and didn't get to DTD at the right times also, my UTI has returned with a vengeance so I'm counting myself out for the month, popping my antibiotics and just tracking my cycles over the next couple of months

Love and to all

A xXx

Ugh sorry about that hun, i have messed up the timing myself before, and the UTI does not help. Try and relax, and dont lose all hope, you never know!!

 

[Neversaynever]

Chris, I am relaxed and not prepared to beat myself up about it, it's life

By counting myself out, I cope better by the end of the month

This was me with Jackson when we conceived him on our own. What a surprise that was. I have PCOS and don't get a period and was told I never ovulated. So I thought I was dealing with cancer. Turned out I was pregnant!

They did a sono and basically were able to tell the date. I bet your right and are about 3-4 wks. Praying for a sticky bean and for all your dreams to come true!

Welcome Purple Lou!

On Skye, I thought she said either she has company or was going somewhere. I can't remember what and when which is typical these days. Praying all is well with her!

 

[FutureMommie]

Welcome Purplelou!

Thank all of you for wishing me luck tomorrow!!!

Has anyone heard from skye? Its strange not to see her pop in daily!!!
