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

[almosthere]

hi ladies finished my apt and everything looked ok from what she could see however I am going in for some tests on my cd3 for progesterone issues...other than that I must wait 6 months for getting additonal help w ttc. I have a feeling I will need to start taking progesterone do any of you know if this is by medicine or shots? An of course I balled at my apt I'm such a wreck, so embarrasing! So will know about progesterone by mid march..

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almost - that's good news. I'm not sure on whether progesterone is shots or medicine, did she say why she was doing the tests or just routine? Is it linked to the spotting?

I bet you're relieved that everything looked ok. I am sure you won't be needing to go back for 'assistance' in 6 months.

AFM - bleeding has stopped and none in vagina or cervix. I have a very heavy tummy and feel quite 'wet' but am putting that down to ovulation. Hubby doesn't want to bd tonight in case I bleed again but I've told him it will be fine. I think it will help if we do and if I did again then will call doctor again, if not I'll put it down to ovulation I think.

 

[almosthere]

I hope the bleeding is nothing serious!

And I was hoping I would be relieved, but I am actually feeling worse that I need to go in for tests. She is checking my progesterone because of my bleeding after sex after ovulation and another sign of low prog. is brown light spotting as af instead of full red flow. Lastly, my afs are irregular in timing, one cycle they are 26 days long and another is 35 days long-so too big of a gap to be considered normal.

However, I am happy to know that I can get checked and hopefully either A. Rule out low progesterone OR B. Find out that it is an issue and get help!

I did research and they have progesterone cream or shots-great, like I need more shots to add on to my b-12 ones, ugh! haha

cried alllllll afternoon today, but it was good to let it all out. sorry for the rant, hope all on this thread, like me and sonia, are up for our bfps asap!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Sorry to hear you've been upset, I am sure the test results will come back quickly once done and rule it out. Maybe it's just your cycles regulating after bc. Either way like you say it's best to get it tested and move forward.

Bug hug x

Hey ladies, it's been a while since I posted on this thread, hope you are all well?

Sonia and Almost, I really hope this will be your cycle, I have everything crossed for you. Glad they didn't seem to find anything serious at your appointment Almost, and hope your further tests go well. If it is to do with progesterone at least you will know sooner rather than later, and any issues can be resolved and you WILL get your BFP!

Presh, not long now until you ttc again! I'm sure it won't take long for a BFP for you, and we all wish you a h&h 9 months to follow.

MissM, yay for your scan today! Can't wait to find out how it went. Very jealous!!

And MissB, can't believe it's your 20 week scan tomorrow - how time flies! Looking forward to finding out what you've got cooking in there, I'm still going with a little Freya Rose!

As for me, I have my booking in appointment on Wednesday and my private scan at 9 weeks on Sunday. I'm very excited, but I'm also terrified that something is going to be wrong with pumpkin. I'd never really heard of mmc before I started using this site, and now it's something that worries me. I know the chances are low, but it's a scary thought.

If all is well, I'll post a picture of my little blob on Sunday after I've been!

I wonder what's wrong with this thread - for me it's coming up in the list as though there are no posts on it at all, and it isn't moving up to the top when a reply is posted? Strange!!

EDIT - Just figured out why, it's because it's been moved from WTT into TTC groups and discussions! No wonder it said nothing was there! Wonder if somone in WTT asked for it to be moved?

xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

I did wonder about the thread not showing as people posting and not moving up. Maybe they moved it given the number of posts?

I am sure all will be ok for your scan, looking forward to seeing your pics.

Miss m - how did it go today?

I'm now 3/4 dpo, more like 4 I think and have had a really strong belly ache all day. I'm going to see the dctr on Wednesday as a little concerned about it, especially following the bright red spotting on Friday, and have kind of had the same belly ache post ovulation for last two months, also bowel movements are a lot more frequent. My boobs are so sore today, can't touch them!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Glad your appt went well Almost

Miss M hope your scan went well

MnD good luck for Sunday

Sonia could be pregnancy symptoms!

 

[almosthere]

sonia-i agree with emz you could be pregnant!

AFM I am close to you sonia, about 5/6dpo-however, no symptoms for me =( on a good note, no spotting after sex, although we have only had sex once during my mid cycle. Pretty sure if we dtd tonight I will spot. sad I have no preg. symptoms b.c I feel like I would if I was pregnant. UGH! Where is my BFP?! please come find me soon, thanks!

 

[miss malteser]

Sonia, they could be very early symptoms! FX for you!

Almost, don´t worry about not having any symptoms. I didn´t have any at all! We´re all different.

So I finally had my scan yesterday and it was amazing. I can finally relax! Baby looked fine and was bouncing all over the place and moving his little arms and legs as though he was boxing with someone in there! We ended up having a 20 min scan whilst the gyne was trying to measure the nuchal fold because I have a very tilted uterus making it hard for her to do and the LO wouldn´t get himself into the right position! We then got told to go for a walk for half an hour and tgo back for another scan which lasted for about 20 minutes again until she managed to measure it!

We never asked about the sex of the baby because we just assumed that it wasn´t possible to see so early but as we were leaving she blurted out that it looked like a boy but she couldn´t be sure. It´s a good job that we do want to know because she never asked us first! I almost would have preferred to wait until the sex was certain because now I´m thinking of it as a boy but if they tell us its a girl at 20 weeks it´s just going to mess with my head!

 

[mazndave]

MissM, so glad that your scan went well and you've got a happy and healthy bubba in there! Bet it was so amazing to see. Can't believe they told you they thought it could be a boy, like you said it's a good job you want to know! I can understand how frustrating it is though to now have it in your head that it's a boy when it could quite easily still be a girl.

MissB, where are you, I want to know if it's a pink or blue bump?!?!

xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Glad all went ok miss m, not good that they blurted it out to you, good job you didn't mind!

Xx

 

[almosthere]

i agree it is not good the doctor blurted that out-were you rooting for a boy or girl?

 

[miss malteser]

We really don´t mind (although we did have a couple of girls names in mind already and we can´t find any boys names that we agree on!) but I really wish she hadn´t said anything as I can´t stop saying "he" now! the fact she told us without us having asked means that she must be pretty sure I guess!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Congratualtions Miss M on your scan. Boys are awsome I love my boy so much. I wouldn't even mind having another.

How is everybody?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi Emz

I am good thanks.

How are you? Bump coming along nicely?

7th cycle for me and currently 5/6dpo. Got doctors tomorrow as keep getting really odd, not normal tummy aches / pains every month especially after ovulation and had some spotting outside of AF last week. Have brought my smear forward to next Tuesday, from May, so at least can get that done but want to get checked over by doctor.

Symptom wise other than the tummy ache, very sore breasts and creamy cervical mucus x

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Sonia that sounds like a good thing to do. No harm in being checked out, especially if you're in discomfort. Men get such an easy ride compared to us ladies!!! Let us know how u get on x

Bump is huge now and moving lots. We have our anomaly scan in just under 2 weeks time so looking forward to seeing peanut again x

 

[almosthere]

gl w. ur smear sonia. afm i feel totally normal which means totally not pregnant...ugh! CM is getting white and sticky, very minimal, and very usual in my second half of my tww-but of course I am trying to stay hopeful and pray for a little bean, testing sunday...

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi all, doctors was fine, he thinks the pains are just normal monthly menstrual pains but more obvious now as off the pill and it would now be completely out of my system, said he wasn't too concerned as they are second half of cycle every month (post ovulation) as opposed to all the time. I mentioned the spotting last week and that had brought my smear forward to Tuesday and he said that's the best thing to do and would suggest as I am there any way (as in female parts accessible!) they may as well run a few other checks to just make sure all ok. He did say if no other appointment he would pop on and check my cervix plus ovaries (they have a camera / ultrasound on site) so has pencilled it in. Luckily I am with a medical centre that is quite large so really geared up in terms of equipment. I'm really glad he seemed to take me seriously - we talked about ttc in general and our approach to it and said to come back on June if not fallen. So all positive . . . I think.

Still have the creamy cm and some mild discomfort / cramping but can't read too much into that now. I'm not 7dpo, DH brought two tests earlier as none in doors but not going to test until mon / tues as need to know for smear. I'm also flying to manchester next so guess I'll be driving if I am fx x

Almosthere - I think a lot of ladies feel absolutely normal, if not bette than normal when early pregnant and don't have any symptoms so definitely not out. How many dpo are you now, 7/8 I think? We didn't bd much this cycle either really but as DH keeps telling
me 'it only takes one little swimmer'!

 

[almosthere]

glad to hear all went well, will you be doing cd 3 tests as well? mine will probably be sometime late next week if AF shows.

naughty me, I took a test that is supposidly 10miu and it was a clear BFN, I am either 8 or 9 dpo today, bummer!
