Hello everyone hope everyone is feeling good it was another beautiful day here really lifts the spirits ! PMA is really helping with the Tww , I,m prepared for AF to show her face and if she doesn't it will be a wonderful suprise. The only thing to do is keep looking forward and try again. I've read so many amazing success stories on bnb about us later lifers that it fills me with hope over all I have a pretty darn great life , a wee one would be such a special blessing but I am already blessed with the people in my life .
So if AF does show ill face the next cycle full of hope and positivity . I read on another post some great advise which was to try not live in the past , our eyes were put in the front for a reason lol....... I love it . So its to the future I look , pausing now and again to remember the very special time I spent with my little soul.
AF come do your worst and with it you give me a gift , the possibility of trying again !

I'm not surprised you are tired Lisa, sounds like you are so busy, particularly with diabetes on top of everything else.

Regina - loving the outlook/attitude. You are so right, got to count our blessings and just keep trying/hoping. It is so easy to get wrapped up in ttc and let it take over your life. Going to try and keep busy tomorrow.

I am quite tired today and haven't really done a lot. Been eating funny, just bits as haven't felt very hungry. Boobs getting a bit sore. Hoping this is good sign. Why does time go so slow. I look forward to seeing what my temp will be in the morning. Off to bed now so catch you all later.

 

[Left wonderin]

Me and you on temp watch so Jo keep me posted

 

[dancareoi]

Regina I think your positive attitude is great and I really now you do get your little one.

Jo nice temps

Afm not a very good nights sleep. Has his horrible churning tummy all nigh and funny pain across top of tummy . I've had this in the past and its a feeling that I keep needing to go to the toilet and feel like its going to be upset. Feel is I did have diarreah it would go away. Sorry if tmi - I'll just keep sitting on the loo!

 

[josie1234]

Hope it eases off Lisa. When's your next appointment?

 

[Left wonderin]

Lisa sounds very unpleasant , prob everything getting squashed as baby grows and takes over , having a good stretch ! Doesn't make it any nicer though !

Jo how are you doing ? Have your nerves kicked in yet ? 10dpo double figures yeah I can feel the butterfly's beginning only 5 days to testing ...........

 

[dancareoi]

Baby may be in a different position because every time it kicks it makes me feel a bit funny!

Had head over toilet this morning, seemed like Morning sickness was back!

Regina and jo still looking good.

 

[josie1234]

Aw Lisa. Really feel for you. Never seems to get easier.

Feel bit yukky today. Might be nerves!!!! Blimey Regina this could be our month. Would be great!!!

Josie/Regina - Hoping this is your month - then the worry begins more you can never have enough

Lisa - Aw sorry you are having such a tough time of it - is this your last pregnancy?

AFM - Can anyone tell me how I managed before in my other two pregnancies was it maybe because I was younger? - this one is wiping me out

With my first I worked right up until the night before he was born - 12 years ago and with my second I had my eldest as a toddler was a single mum by then and also worked part time.

With this pregnancy I have two boys at school all day - a part time avon job - and a house to look after and all I want to do is

Anyway back to the scan we both saw the heartbeat I was 6w 2d so everything is on track baby has also grown from 5.1mm to 6.1mm so everyone is happy I have another scan in two weeks, the spotting was due to a blood clot they found so she said so expect more spotting unless it disperses back into my body - funny though they never mentioned it I did I asked them to check

I was going to update yesterday but after arriving at the hospital half an hour late traffic I was told I was in the wrong hospital - the address I had for my scan was on the other site - if you remember I was meant to be undergoing tests shortly for recurrent m/c so the appointment card I had was for there - it wasn't so much that we were in the wrong hospital that pissed me off but the receptionist comment "These scan rooms are for normal pregnancies you want to be on the other site" everyone was looking at me as if I was a freak - I think my face said it all how dare she! anyway a kind nurse took us to the other site and good job she did I would never have found it

We got seen very quickly but there set up is different to what I've been used to - the bed is more a chair with stirrups at the end and my hubby was sat in a chair behind my head which made grabbing his hand very difficult

She warned us that it may take a few minutes as I was early blah blah the whole time she kept the screen away from us - there was another nurse and trainee nurse in the room and they all looked glum - I was worried as I couldn't see hubby or the screen I concentrated on their faces and one of them twitched slightly into a smile - well the relief she turned the screen round and their was our baby with a beating heart or strobe light as hubby thought it looked like why are ultrasounds never easy or is it just mine that seems to take for ever?

Anyway at least next time we will know which site to go to

Hi Fiona, glad you made it in the end and glad all is on trAck.

I had bleeding with my third and an early scan at about 6-7 weeks showed I had a blood clot in my womb, we were warned I would bleed again .

She wasn't wrong. I bled so much it was like a tap had been turned on, I remember standing in the shower and the blood coming out I as worried sick. Next scan showed baby was fine and clot had reduced. I didn't bleed again then

We don't plan on having any more after this one.

Going for those early scans is he scariest thing ever

 

[crazymam]

Fiona - really pleased your scan went well and everything is ok x
Josie/regina fingers crossed ladies

How is everyone else?
I have been to work all week so not much time for other stuff, also spent most days after work in the garden making the most of this lovely weather .

 

[josie1234]

Hi ladies,

Blimey Fi, sounds like you had a right nightmare, hopefully it won't be like that every time you go to the hospital. As for that woman, god it made my blood boil, how dare she! Glad it all went ok in the end.

Lisa - what a worry at the time eh?

How is everyone else today? I am tired, will be off to bed in a bit. Went to another gym for an induction this morning so I am now on their books to take classes when they need me. Took my spin class tonight, shattered.

I am on my last pre-conception tablet in the packet tomorrow so think I will need to do a HPT as don't want to waste money buying other pack if I need to buy the pregnancy ones. Oooohhhh, starting to get nervous again. DH said he has a feeling (he had that last year when I found out I was pregnant). At that time he kept telling me to go to the doctors or to take a test but I kept saying, oh it'll just be stress (lol).

As for symptoms, not got anything too major, boobs slightly achy but no backache or anything like I normally get when AF is due.

just hoping 12 dpo tomorrow is not too early to test. oh well, will see what temp is in the morning and what test says. FX . Night everyone xx

Hi everyone well just went to the loo and (tmi) checking cm found some brown cm , not much at all . I'm 10dpo today so its either the start of a very early period ( the witch decided to cut short her holiday ) or ............. Something else ! Eeeek . Ill just have to wait it out and see what happens in the next couple of hours and days .

Also have a headache and a weird pain in my hips the last few days ? Other than that all is good here

Garfie great news on the scan the cheek of that nurse lol.......
Jo here is hoping your hubby,s feeling is right

 

[Kat S]

My castor oil pack kit came in the mail today. Sounds a bit messy, but I'm going to try it out tonight.

I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning to see how my follicles are responding to my new injectable protocol. I'll report back. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Regina last month your LP was 14 days so I wouldn't have thought the brown cm could be Af because that's too early!

Jo, good luck
