TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[banana07]

Hey Issac

Witch due yesterday but BFNs on cheapy and a good digital test. I've known she is coming since Sunday anyway you know when you just know. Cramps started again this morning so she'll be here shortly. I'd say the progestrone just delayed her slightly. Disappointed is an understatement but what can we do. Just want her to arrive now so he is gone by time we go on Holidays and I can just start a new cycle.

I have officially been diagnosed with pcos. Hormone bloods out of balance (LH & FHS & thyroid) or something like that, too many follies on the scan, weight gain and excess hair on chin, belly and chest. So as soon as AF arrives I'll be starting metiforim

I just really thought after James it would just happen like so many other people who have trouble it just works for them the next time, then that didn't happen I thought oh imagine if it just worked first time with clomid, trigger etc but no wrong again.

I'm still hopefull it will work within next 2 goes of clomid/trigger well I pray it will work.

I like your what will be will be attitude. Wish I could have some of it!!

Well the witch got me 2 days late. I knew she was coming but of course had that secret little bit of wonder at the same time.

Ah well CD1 today and have ordered my tamoxifen

Sorry about af arriving banana I had high hopes for you this month with the tracking and trigger! If I remember rightly your really young so you have plenty of time to get your 3rd baby. I know how hard it feels though when you want something so bad. I have had some news myself, I got a bfp yesterday! Tested because I had some spotting and back pain and well the rest of it is history. I left the test knowing it would be a bfn and when I went back to it 5 mins later there was 2 lines, very faint but there all the same! Confirmed with frer which I posted in the test section. Feeling numb and not entirely ready to be pregnant just yet and I can't switch on to it at all. Not anxious like before and taking it all in my stride and I won't get emotionally attached until I see it healthy and growing. Can't believe I have now been pregnant twice in 3 months how ironic is that after all that time ttc with Edward. Life is so weird! Hugs again xx

 

[IsaacRalph]

Scrap previous entry I ended up having a chemical! Am being tested at a top clinic specialising in recurrent miscarriage now. How are you getting on banana? Hi to all of the other girls xx

 

[Hann12]

Hi just a quickie from me, Isaac sorry to hear about the miscarriage but glad they are helping you.
Banana - best of luck with ttc no. 3 x

We had our third baby 2 weeks ago - Rufus Alexander, he was 7 pounds exactly and perfect in every way. He's just the cutest most gorgeous little guy and fits perfectly into our family. Hubby goes back to work on Monday so things get more tough from then but for now its been lovely and both my other two love him so much.
Hope you all get the no. 3 baby soon xx

 

[IsaacRalph]

Aww great news hann have you got any pics?? Is that your family complete now? I have had 2 miscarriages in 3 months so not sure what's going on but can get pregnant really easy now. Going to one of the countries best professors in 3 weeks to get some answers hopefully. X

Hey Ladies

Oh Issac I'm so sorry I was so excited reading your post then seen your second one. Hopefully you will get answers soon. Ugh the frustration must be unreal. You seem to be taking it ok well from what I can tell through a computer screen. Maybe hold of testing early or until you are way overdue AF in future. Easier said then done.

Oh Hann- that is mighty news - god only feels like few weeks since you said you were preg! well done really delighted for ye You'll have to let us know what 3 is like. Keep the posts coming

I have had a crap month. Went up to get my scan and trigger and no eggys was devestated. Waiting on a phone consultation today from clinic to see if they are going to change my meds as they just didn't work at all. So just waiting on AF now due Saturday. Really thought it would be easy this time no waiting around wondering what was wrong like the last time for 18 months but no its not easy at all.

I was toying about with 3 or 4 but I really would be happy with just one more I have decided. Plus even if I wanted I couldn't put myself through this again.

 

[banana07]

Well just had my phone consultation with the clinic and based on my day 21s they said I did ovulate this month (prog was 45) but very early which is very unusual as any time by body has "attempted" to ovulate over the last 3 years it was always much later and I'd have like a 30-31 day cycle.

Anyway we missed the boat on this one. Scan was on CD 13 I had bad cramps CD 11 and last time we BD was CD8 because we were in the UK.

Ah well they just want to monitor me early next month. Witch due Saturday but I've a feeling she'll be early i've cramps already and now I know I o'd early def expecting her early.

 

[banana07]

Well we can scrap that last post - got the surprise of my life last night. Even though clinic cancelled my cycle this month because of no eggs. I had one test at home, witch not even due until Saturday. Well what did I see but a BFP! I am in total shock!

They were very very faint lines, I was sure it was just an evap but it kept getting darker (still light though). Himmed and Hawwed for about an hour before freaking out and driving into town to get more tests - excited but still expecting a BFN since it was late in teh evening so my urine would be very dilute. couldn't wait to went to the loo in Mcdonalds (class I know) threw tests in my bag and went back out to the car to wait for them to develop. V slight line on the tesco brand one so presumed digital wouldn't pick it up enough to put the text up but no there it was "Pregnant 1-2 weeks"

I am in shock, the one month I wasn't thinking about it because the clinic said there were no eggs, I don't even know what possessed me to use that last cheapy test at home last night!!

I am very nervous though if it was such an early ovulation the egg might be immature and not survive but I got pregnant at least. Started my progestrone last night (which I should have been taking since ovulation but obv we thought there was no ovulation this month.

Ahhhhhhh cannot believe it. Please say a prayer for us x

 

[IsaacRalph]

Oh wow banana that's is just incredible news especially after thinking you was out this month. Happy and healthy 9 months hope it's goes smoothly. What's the next thing? Going to get early scan/blood? That really is amazing!
Afm we are using condoms this month as our app with consultant is on the 21st and can't risk falling pregnant especially with our rate of pregnancies over last few months. Hopefully we will have a plan once we have seen her and can get the ball rolling. Not in any rush buy would like it to happen by next year I'm 37 in few days and don't want to be too near my 40th by the time or if we have another. Fx'd for us both honey xx

 

[IsaacRalph]

Need to see these bfps banana, any pics?

 

[banana07]

thanks issac

I'm still in shock does not feel real the one and only month ever there was no lead up no himming and hawing wondering if buts and maybes. I was 100% sure I was out so they said there were no bloody eggs!!! Even when they said I did ov we Bd 3 days before I thought no way I know its possible but so unlikely.

Anyway I'll try to upload the tests if I can!

I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you now. It will happen for you I'm sure x

 

[banana07]

First test wouldn't show up on camera it was so light but I could see it!

 

[banana07]

Then while I was on the phone to my friend giving out about evaps it seemed to get a bit darker then darker again enough so make me drive into town to get another test. How typical was this my last test out of 25!!

 

[banana07]

Then I got into town and before I had to even get home had to stop off and go!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

That's so amazing banana excellent bfp pics! I'm not in any rush want to sort out our issues. I'd be happy to get our sticky bfp anytime in the next year or so. How are you feeling any symptoms??

 

[banana07]

One of my good friends (remember one who was pregnant twice while I was trying for James!!

She has 3 unexplained MC before she had her second baby. She did no treatment at all 4th one just stuck and so did 5th. She is not like us doing research and online etc. No explanation from the docs no investigations. Doc just said hard luck.

So if you are going for investigations I'm certain it will happen for you. You have carried 2 beautiful healthy babies and you will do it again x

What are they going to do on the 21st tests or just consultation do you know?

I've to do nothing yet. Witch is not even due for another 2 days so I'm very very nervous of something happening. I know if I ring doc they'll just say come in about 9-12 weeks to get registered as being preg bloods and urine. then hospital at 16 weeks I think.

Its funny my little sister is pregnant too due christmas day and she lives 70 miles up the road and her hospital is totally different they do a 12 week scan and gave her a form to ask her did she want low lighting, dp to cut the cord, pain relief preference. None of that in my hopsital they are just normal regional hospitals over here not maternity ones. There are 2 maternity ones but they are up in Dublin. Its so different.

Most hospitals over here you just get a scan at 20-24 weeks and thats it. I usually pay for private ones at 12 weeks and even 8 weeks with James.

Keep running to the loo thinking witch has arrived - so nervous.

I am sure that witch will stay away banana try not to worry and enjoy it! It's an amazing feeling but one that's filled with anxiety but it won't change anything just be positive. That is weird about your friend but I already have a semi explanation for my losses that being the thyroid antibodies and the positive ANA antibodies which can indicate clotting disorders or something more worrying like lupus. I would imagine I will have a consultation and bloods done at this app on the 21st. Not too sure about scans etc! It's over 120 miles away back to where I originally come from on the Midlands. I won't attempt another pregnancy unless I have some form of treament plan, I already have been started on 5mg folic acid and have prog supps but as mentioned before been using condoms this month as it would be a disaster if I fell pregnant before my app. She is one of the beat Dr's specialising in miscarriage so hopefully she will be able to sort me out. So glad your friend went onto having her babies with no further losses. Do you think you will pay for an early scan again?

 

[banana07]

At least you know what you are doing, really pray you get sorted soon. I've no buddies this time had you and mama last time!

Yeah I'll prob pay for the 12 week scan. Doc put me in for a public scan at about 8 weeks last time don't know why think it was because I was getting fertility treatment and he wanted to be sure there wasn't more than 1 baby in there. I don't care why I was just delighted to get it and get the reassurance. Horrible the way you meant to wait until 20 - 23 weeks shur anything could have happened at 6-8 weeks and there are you plodding along thinking your preg for months.

As I said witch is not even due yet till Saturday so I don't want to do anything yet. I'll wait until after witch is due to take the second digi test I have at home and check that it changes from 1-2 weeks to 2-4 that will keep me reassured for a while knowing the hcg is increasing then I'll ring doc and hopefully he'll refer me for an early scan if I tell him I was getting fertility treatment.

Boobs are starting to get a little sore and cramps have eased of mostly just the odd ones. I think if I get past the weekend I'll be slightly calmer but just waiting for Af not to show up when she is due or even few days after that. With both boys I tested day AF was due or actually with DS1 was a week after she was due had tested the day she was due but test didn't work was blank both sides. and with DS2 had a blazing positive day witch was due no actually thats a lie few days before she was due but that was still CD29 this test was only CD26 that and early ovulation is all that has me worried. I'll freak out until he/she is out of me always do!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Jeez! So I think the same happened to us as it did you this month banana!
