Hi Becks Awh the poor thing I hope he feels better soon and you get some sleep !
Jo its sucks she got you this month but you know your month is just around the corner . I agree this month I stated b'ding much earlier , like SMEP plan . The previous months I had put all my concentrated efforts into the days before and of . Also this month bd ( then took a day break , bd again , took a day break ) oh says it got rid of all the sleepy sperm lol...

AFM I'm doing ok , one day at a time ...... Today I'm pg and all is ok , now on to tommrow

Hi all.

Becks, hope casey starts feeling better soon and you manage to catch up on some sleep.

Fiona, good luck with midwife tomorrow

Kat, good luck to you too

Regina, another day done.

Dawn, sorry things are tough, what is he shot they will be giving you?

Jo, lovely photo, great to put a face to the name. Perhaps this will be your month. If DH has leave and you can DTD every other day, that is a good start. Last month you OV later than month before, this can be down to worry and stress . We get so worked up waiting for the positive OPK that it can actually delay OV . My earliest OV last year was day 16 and we were away at the stone so I wasn't thinking about it so much ( unable to DTD as in euro Disney and sharing room with kids!)
The month I got pg I OV day 21 but we only DTD every other day .
Sending lots of baby dust your way.

Jan and Karen hope you are both doing good.

Afm been at hosp again today in diabetic clinic, they have increased my insulin dosage before tea and in the evening. Blood pressure still very good at 98/62!

Kat hoping your folicles continue to grow big and strong
Fi here is to making happier memories with your MW tommrow

Hey ladies...so I had a d&c Friday for nothing, apparently there was nothing in my uterus and the doc suspects ectopic, so now i have to have a shot today. I really need this to be over so that I can move on. Anyone ever have the shot? Any side effects?

Oh wow, what a shock! I know what you mean about needing this to be over. I hope it is as soon as possible. Wish I knew something about the shot, but I don't. I hope you find answers asap!!

I was watching mrs browns boys on Gold the other night. She had a visit from 2 Mormons and they were talking about Noah and he miracle of it raining for 40 days and 40 nights, she asked how was that a miracle, that's summer in Ireland!

It tickled me!

Where in Ireland are you! My DH parents are Irish and came over to uk about 50 years ago from the Aran Islands.

I have been with DH for nearly 25 years and I have only been to Ireland once. We went with kids 2 years ago for my 40th, we took ferry from Pembroke in Wales to rosslaire and just stopped for 3 nights.

We are hoping to go over again next year and take the kids to Inishere to see where they have come from and see where a lot of their relatives still live.

Lisa - I'm the other way things are making me I was watching Frankie on catchup - a series about a District Nurse when one of the elderly patients was sat there with her grown up daughter worrying about her daughters care when she died and it suddenly struck me that will be me with this lo I will be the old lady Sorry they've had to increase your insulin

Been to the midwife for my 16 week appointment.
I had extreme baby brain this morning as three times before I left I went to the loo pot in hand and then wee'd in the loo. only managed to squeeze out a centimeter before I saw the MW!

Heard babys heart beat and cried (wuss!!)

Got told about having flu jab and whooping cough jab and the andti D and further blood tests. (not good for a needle phobic)

On the plus side the MW was all for me having a Home birth and said not to worry about the consultants appointment, that I should just be firm and say I understand the risks and still want a homebirth.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies, Casey's much better today so pleased, he's still gotta sore throat but much much better and temp gone, he's laughing and playing catch a fish as I write this xxxx
Lisa that's a beautiful bump! Mine hasn't really grown much since 16 weeks tbh! But I know from the scans that Brooklyn is growing well, i'll prob have a growth spurt at some point! Xx
Karen it's wonderful to hear the hb isn't it! I never stop being excited to hear it, dh loves the strong kicks he can now feel from the outside, he's amazed that one week he could just about feel and the next they were so hard I'd love a home birth but cause Casey was 9 1 and got stuck and I had forceps I'm still gunna have a hospital birth although I'm hoping to attend the new birthing centre at my hospital and go in the water etc xxxxx

 

[Kat S]

Well, after doubling the injection dosage, I still only ended up with one follicle that's on it's way to maturing. Disappointed that there's only one after taking all the extra meds, but I'm going to try to push past it and wish all my wishes on this follicle.

Kat - one is better than none isn't it? - PMA PMA lady, what is the next stage to watch it grow some more?

Becks - So pleased Casey is feeling better and the temperature is back to normal

Lisa - Gorgeous Bump

Karen - If a homebirth is what you want - then you stick to your guns I can't wait until I hear the heartbeat

AFM - Been to see the M/W don't they ask a lot of questions I've had bloods/urine taken and been told I will be Consultant led due to previous history and baby will be born by c-section at 39 weeks if all goes well

Methotrexate for ectopic. My doc is a total quack. I have an appt with a specialist on July 23rd. And if my current doc screws up, the new office told me to call back so that they can start to follow me sooner. Thank GOD!!! I feel like this is never-ending. With this injection, I can't have alcohol (not a big deal, I don't drink...however we have a trip planned to Aruba in less than 3 weeks). This better be finished before then. Now I have an upset stomach from the injection or so I think it's from that. Good luck to all of you. I hope to be back on here in the fall/winter with good news.

 

[Left wonderin]

Bash I'm so sorry to hear your news how awful for you , hugs from me . I hope your trip away give you the opportunity to look after and pamper yourself when all this is over

Kat it only takes one !!! No more needed just one little healthy egg and guess what looks like your well on the way to having one

AFM another days nearly done , I'm pregnant today and all is ok ( its my new mantra ! ) it's har for me to " not go there into moments of panic and as for going to the loo its an ordel ! Lol ..... Having slight cramps , and tingly boobs and a weird pulling sensation left of my belly button . All normal I assume lol

 

[Oasis717]

That's right it only takes one Kat and this could be your little miracle!! Everything crossed xxxx
They do ask loads questions at mw Fi, my mw gives us all the stuff to fill in before we go so it's much quicker, I see mine again on the 25th xxxx
Regina that's exactly the way to go, all is ok today, I still use that now! I still took my temperature until I was about 9 weeks as it comforted me everyday when it was elevated Xxxx
I had my highlighted today, not had it done for 6 months when I usually have it every 3, was a bit worried but as she only uses 6% bleach and it doesn't touch my scalp I know I'm prob being a bit paranoid, dh said he feels like he has a different wife for tonight and to watch out lol. Xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi all,

Kat - its still good that there is one. Stay positive hun, you still have a good chance. Keep us updated, good luck, fx.

Regina - keep that PMA up, I know its hard not to worry.

Dawn - sorry that you are going through such a hard time. Hope you manage to have a nice time away and get chance to relax. Ready for some PMA.

Fi - It makes it all real seeing the MW and its good to know that you are being looked after.

Becks - glad Casey is getting better.

Karen - you never know you may get your homebirth, keep trying for it.

How is everyone else today? Lazy morning for me and DH, then went to town to get DS's school trousers (he keeps growing lol) and a few bits and then my 2 classes tonight. DS is at his dad's this weekend and DH is working, goes back Thursday to start nights so said that I will go down and see him Saturday to spend a bit of time together. Then when he goes to work, I will come back home (would have stayed but have got a dog and have a class sun morning), plus don't fancy staying in a male barrack block on RAF unit whilst he is on nights lol.

 

[Left wonderin]

Mmm I'd like that lol..... All those handsome men with lovely bodies lol...

 

[Kat S]

Wait, unexpected good news! Doc called with my estrogen levels, and they are already way better than trigger day last month! They think another follicle might come out from behind. That would be amazing! So it turns out the Bravelle is helping after all . I feel much better

 

[dancareoi]

Kat that's great news, PMA just be working!

Dawn, lots of hugs your way

Becks, glad casey is on he mend

Jo, sounds like a relaxing time for you at the moment, great for TTC!

Karen I wouldn't be able to have a home birth as I am classed as high risk due to diabetes and previous section . Strangely though it is no something that appeals to me, this may sound odd but after each of mine were born I was in hosp 3-5 days and I liked the feeling of safety it gave me with a newborn.

Plus when I had youngest I stayed for 5 days to try and get breast feeding sorted . Didn't want to leave, I was getting 3 meals a day delivered to my bed!

Regina keep up the PMA

Fiona glad your appointment went well. When's your next scan!

 

[dancareoi]

Karen for some strange reason I dreamt about a scan of yours, it must have been the 20 week scan and you had a DVD of if.

You didn't want to know what sex he baby was but I could clearly see it was a boy!

Be interesting now to see what happens with you.

 

[josie1234]

Regina, not really lol.

Kat - that's great. Keep up that PMA x

Lisa - don't blame you. Make the most of having a rest and being cared for before settling back at home. So strange about your dream, lol. What do you think Karen?

How is everyone else today? Need to order some more opk today.
