Oh course I do!! Do you know you're supposed to avoid pineapple in pregnancy! And papaya, they can bring on early labour as they soften the cervix, I read it on another thread and sure enough its true, dh bought a fresh pineapple yest, think I'll give that one a miss, I ate pineapple in all my other pregnancies, it's especially not recommended in the first trimester, I never knew that xx

Morning Ladies

Well I went to see the FS yesterday - at least she never put the MC down to my age fully she gave me a load of statistics and then some dates for various tests depending on my cycle dates

A blood test CD2 - CD5

A further blood test - CD18

A HSG

An Ultrasound

Clotting Blood Tests

Chromosome Blood Test

All of the above is great news and she will be able to see what is going on with my body - she was interested in my charting as well and could see just from glancing how long LP was, cycle, AF etc.

These tests are carried out in another county so looks like I will have to be traveling a lot too

For the next 3 months however until all the tests are back she has recommended protected sex in fact she stressed that abstaining would be even better no chance of an oopsie - of course I will test this month just in case

So ladies I will continue to temp as that at least gives me some indication as to when she will arrive.

And I will continue to pop in here from time to time and cheer you on but at the moment I am feeling very deflated and my eyes are stinging from crying of course I can understand the reasoning behind but............

I know how you feel. After my MMC last year I had to wait to have a uNK killer cell test. i missed my first OV due to PG hormomes still in system, so another month went by of just waiting.

It is so fustrating so i know why you are upset, but it will all be for the best and help you on the way to getting your rainbow.

Jo, not sure whats going on with your chart this month!!!

creative, an apple pip, how lovely.

you`re right it does.

does anyone have any plans for Easter? We are off to wales for a week tomorrow, luckily the weather for next week is looking dry and a little bit warmer, well i say warmer, about 10 degrees, but that`s good compared to what we`re getting now!

I`m actually a pear now!!

Easter: I'm leading the Easter service on Sunday (MS willing) we are going for a meal with mum and dad in the evening.

Sorry Fiona, I know waiting is so hard, with my blighted ovum I had to wait for the hcg to leave my system before I could TTC again it took 20 long, long weeks to go average is 4/6, I was just unlucky, with my first mc and d and c it was gone after just one week xxxxxx
We have no plans for easter yet, really depends how I'm feeling, having a good day today, almost sure I'm getting some movements, it's the same wriggling/squirmy feeling I've had last 2 weeks but stronger today not kicks or anything just that wriggle feeling xxx

Sounds like movement to me. I am not getting kicks as such, just wriggling feelings. Although it did give me a bit of a boot yesterday!

Wriggling around quite.

So comforting to feel those little movements.

Happy 12 weeks.

Thanks Lisa, I really think so too, really wriggly!! it's certainly made me feel a lot better about going for the scan on Tuesday, I was worrying about a mmc xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Beck's you have a go faster ticker , I'm convinced of it lol.... Happy 12 weeks can't wait for your scan me I plan lots of b'ding over Easter as due to o/v on Tuesday I think . I'll have oh chained to the bed lol......

Had two pieces of great news today , my friend got BFP after 4 times trying with I v f , so so happy for her . She has had a rough couple of years with her sister who was 20 dying of cancer not long after her wedding so she deserves some good luck for a change .

Me I'm poas and temping . That sperm is going to meet the egg this month !!!!

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks hunni, I think my bellys on a go faster too! Well me and dh bd 4 times a day around my ovulation and it worked! Also if you have an orgasm at the same time or just after your oh it really increases your chances as the contractions pull more sperm up further, it was what we did I really believe that's how we did it in two months. That's fantastic news about your friend, it most definitely must be wonderful to have such amazing news, she certainly seems to have been through it. I have just laughed til my belly ached at Mock The Week with dh, I do love that show! Xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Me and DH caught first time in december when we were TTC, up until OV we DTD every other day and then DTD day before and day of and day after OV.
Also after DTD lie still for about 1/2 before moving!
