WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[miss malteser]

Glad to hear that you´re getting some answers Almost and that at the moment no treatment seems to be required. Without wanting to sound patronizing I think it´s brilliant how you´re always so positive about TTC! Other people would have got really down about this whole cyst stuff but you just seem to get on with things and look forward to next month!

I have never used OPKs so don´t know how they work but how could you get positive ones if you weren´t ovulating??

 

[almosthere]

thanks miss mal...that means a lot! and I am wondering the same about ovulation-I refuse to believe what the doctor says I think I may still have a small shot for this cycle here.....like I said, my obgyn gives confusing responses sometimes-so perhaps she means I did not ovulate when the cyst was larger, but now that is it almost gone, that I can start ovulating again? If I was still unable to ovulate this or at least next cycle, I would assume she would have given me some kind of medication or something....

 

[almosthere]

thanks presh-I researched and see there are so many dif. types of cysts.and some are just safe natural and normal, so not sure which I had....but it must be a safe one since I need no medication

Hi Ladies! Hope everyone is ok?

Not much new for me really. I think I may have a urinary infection so am off to the doctors this morning. I just have generally pressure-like pain when I pee and my urine is also quite cloudy. Will see what they say.

Feeling very nervous as I approach 12 weeks, was kind of hoping I would be booked in to see the midwife as opposed to my GP thinking she may use the doppler, but don't think the doctor will do one! Feeling very emotional today, at work and have cried twice already! Have a lot going on at work at the moment, to cut a very long story short my boss has taken a dislike to me following a massive national event that I managed, at the end of which our CEO brought me on stage to thank me in front of 500 guests. She took an instance dislike of it, and then since then she has been overly critical of everything I do. Don't get me wrong I know I am not perfect, but I know I am good at my job and she is just bearing a grudge because of it. She also has said to others that she feels I and another colleage, same level as me, do not respect her in her position - we don't because she does nothing and expects us to do it all! The way she speaks to me is horrendous, especially in front of people making out I am basically imcompetent! I am going to have to say something! I was up at 4.30am in the week worrying about something she hadn't done and was trying to blame on me. If she carries on I will just get signed off from work!

Presh - how are you following the scan etc?

Hope everyone else is ok x

Sorry you're having a hard time Sonia. Sounds like she is jealous of you! jealousy is a hideous thing Can you put in a complaint to HR about her?

As for a doppler I didn't get to hear either of my babies HB's until 24 week MW appt. I know some in the UK hear it at 16 weeks but I think it depends on your area. The smaller the baby the harder it is to hear HB which is why the health professionals don't like to do it early in case they don't find it and worry the parents unduly. Could you buy a doppler? I know Toys R us sell them x

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks hun, I have spoken to HR before, in confidence but it didn't stay that way and the CEO confronted her about it, and it was then HELL! My whole team were treading on egg shells all the time. Not sure what I am going to do, but if it carries on I will explode.

GP confirmed a UTI, she doesn't want to give me antibiotics as I am allergic to the safest ones and I would prefer not to take anything else, so on lots of cranberry juice and water. I did have one when I went into hospital but it shifted before I came home so she is hoping that it will settle, but wants me to be tested every 4 - 6 weeks to ensure it doesn't flair up. She has asked my midwife to retest on Tuesday when I go for my scan.

I have a doppler but to be honest it isn't very good, the reviews online are shocking so didn't expect to hear anything anyway, plus still too early according to packaging. I only paid £1 for it so not much to lose I thought. Will maybe see what price the other ones are.

How are things with you? x

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

I can't believe you are 12 weeks pretty much already! It goes so quickly. Ah man, that sucks about the UTI. And I hate cranberry juice lol So glad I'm not having to drink that. YUK. Bless you. How are you feeling?

All good here. Bit of a sore back and ribs at times but still managing to get down the gym twice a week for a workout. Bump is huge and baby is very active and always sticking her foot out of my side lol Although weirdly she is measuring two weeks behind even though I am as big as I was at 38 weeks with my son!!?? He always measured bang on. I have my 35 week MW check on weds and will be booked in for my homebirth Now I just have to buy a pool x

Jeez Sonia! Why can't everything just be stress-free during pregnancy!!! UGH! I hope everything works itself out soon and you can relax.

I'm doing fine since the scan. I had cramping all day on tuesday, but none since. And still no bleeding. So that's kind of odd, I think. I'm really hoping it means that it's already starting to fix itself, but you never know....

 

[Soniamillie01]

Presh - ah that is good news re: no bleeding, did they say it would continue? Hope it stays away for you.

I am ok, just a little hacked off with it all. I worked my arse off everyday, do 9+ hour days, work evenings and weekends when needed, and feel I do more than most, but it is not enough! I am going to say something but need to calm down first! Just feel she is picking on me!

Emz - 35 weeks, wow that has gone fast! A home birth sounds lovely, I'm not allowed to delivery at home due to risk, mainly being weight, but definitely want a water birth.

Generally I feel ok, bit tired and seem to be having what I assume is round ligament pain. x

 

[PreshFest]

There is no telling what's going on, really. No bleeding doesn't necessarily mean anything. Or it could mean that it's already started to heal itself.

I'm actually on hold now with a doctors office. I might try to switch for a while so I can get this thing monitored OFTEN. I need it for my peace of mind. I know there's nothing that can be done about this, but the only thing more stressful than knowing your baby is in danger is WAITING around to find out if it's getting better or not!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Best to try and find out hun! Hope and preying all is ok.

Well I've made it to 12 weeks. Had a tough evening with this uti last night, just really bad back ache, cramping and also two or three bright red blood spots when wiping, although I don't think from vagina. I'm hoping it will improve today as drunk so much yesterday and plan to again today. Roll on Tuesday for my scan, hope to hear that all is ok x

 

[almosthere]

bump!

hoping all are well...tested today even though I am prob only around 6dpo! but it is my birthday so there was that magical wishful thinking and hoping! bfn of course, which means off to celebrate with some drinks-i need and deserve it! my prayers are with you and your l.o presh! and yay to sonia for your 12month mark!!

 

[PreshFest]

I heard the heartbeat with the Doppler yesterday!! So amazing. I also made an appt with a doctor for this Wednesday to get a second opinion and to get monitored more. My
Midwife did say yesterday that she would think that the clot has started to resolve since I still don't have cramping or bleeding . But can't be sure until I get another u/s.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ah presh, I so want to hear mine! If all goes ok Tuesday will buy one!

Almosthere - happy birthday! Hope you have a fab day x

 

[Elz]

Happy birthday for yesterday Almost! Hope everyone else is well! x

 

[Jembug]

Happy birthday almost!

Elz, how are you doing?

Sonia hope you have had a good weekend away from work! And your feeling better!

How lovely Presh, how Long did it take you to find the heartbeat?

I'm feeling a bit nervous for this week. Going by my LMP I should be nine weeks today and I started bleeding at 9+2 when I had my miscarriage.
Anyways, I can't control what's going to happen so I have to think positive!
Atleast I've been lucky to have seen the heartbeat already! And I'm putting myself at 8 weeks today by ovulation and that early scan.

Hope your all well xxx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi Jem

I am well thanks, trying to flush this urine infection out which I thought I was on top of yesterday but back with a vengeance today. Upped the fluids so sure that will help.
My next scan is Tuesday at 9am, excited and anxious all rolled into one. Steve is coming too and is very excited. We may pop to babies r us afterwards think he may be more excited about that actually lol!

Sorry to hear you're feeling nervous, hope it passes soon, I'm hoping all will be ok for you x

 

[PreshFest]

Happy birthday almost!

Elz, how are you doing?

Sonia hope you have had a good weekend away from work! And your feeling better!

My midwife found it within about 5 seconds!

 

[Jembug]

Agh that good! Our midwife here don't look until 16 weeks!
Ive still not had my booking appointment through! So rubbish, with my girls I booked in with my midwife at the doctors but now I have to go to the hospital!
The good thing is I've requested the midwife at my doctors to do my booking- I don't see the point in seeing a midwife who doesnt know me! (my midwife is the same as I had with both my girls)
Something tells me at this rate I wont be getting my scan until well over 12 weeks? X

 

[almosthere]

just spotted almost bright red blood after sex....not the usual pink...kind of scaring me....but perhaps it is the cyst leaving my body as I know cysts are liquid filled...hmm not sure but feeling totally out...a bfn today although super early testing days...
