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

[Jembug]

Thanks for the advice!
Today I had ovulation type cm but I tested and it said not!!! I would have put my life on it too! So today is day 19!
Going to the the deed tonight and hope tomorrow I get a positive? Unless I am testing too late?
If I've already ovulated I think I will be out this month?
I've had a tummy/period pain all day- could it be pain?
Hope this is Our lucky month? X

Ah lovely to have one of each! Glad all went ok.

I had my scan today as well. They can see a sac, with a yolk and a fetal pole but want me to go back in two weeks for another scan. Have since had some brown tinged CM which I am assuming is from the scan but will call if gets worse, but assuming is old! I will try to post a pic

 

[PreshFest]

I have my scan on MOnday May 21. Eek. I'll be 6weeks and 2 days, so hopefully that's good timing for seeing a heart beat...??

 

[almosthere]

[Soniamillie01]

Presh - we didn't see a heart beat but she said it's quite early still. Hope you do x

If its brown I´m sure it´s old. Don´t worry about it! Glad the scan went well.

I have my scan on MOnday May 21. Eek.

Good luck!

Almost - Good luck for tomorrow.
Jembug - Hope you get that positive ov soon!

AFM, well I don´t know if I mentioned that I had my second anomaly scan on Monday (as baby wouldn´t let us see all of her heart last time!) and everything looks ok although she is measuring almost a week smaller than she should. The gyne wasn´t worried at all and said she may just be a small baby as I´m pretty small too! Although I had a midwife appt yesterday and was told that I´d put on too much weight! I haven´t got any bigger anywhere apart from my bump so who knows where all extra weight is! I was mortified. I was almost underweight before I got my BFP and am almost 9 stone now so maybe my body is just storing a bit of extra fat because I needed it. I just don´t know where the extra fat is! I don´t want to boast but up to now I´d been really happy as apart from my bump I still have my same old body so I´m not sure what I should do to stop gaining weight too fast I eat healthily and not too much and I go for walks everyday. Any suggestions?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Miss m - I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, if you don't feel like you have an feel healthy that's all that counts. At 9 stone, which is nothing, I'm don't think you need to worry about what not to eat, as long as it's healthy. X

Glad scan went well. I agree with Sonia. At 9 stone you really aren't going to put much more weight on. I was just under 9 stone with both my Sticky BFP's. With Kai I walked out of the hospital in my size 10 Jeans. Again with this one I am all bump. No weight gain anywhere else. I still eat normally but admittedly with both pregnancies I did/am continuing with the gym. Purely to stay healthy and be fit for the birth. By the sounds of it you're doing everything right. Don't listen to them. Our baby is also measuring 1 week behind consistently at the moment.

HV's told me Kai was putting on too much weight in first year. Then 2nd year not enough! You cannot win. My child eats fruit and veg everyday and is very active. I know he's healthy so tbh I stopped listening! You might just have a lot of water?

 

[Jembug]

Wow a boy and girl! How amazing, congratulations!

Glad your scan went well Sonia!

I always measured three weeks behind and by the end of both my pregnancies I was five weeks behind and they were never concerned! And I put just under two stone and first baby weighed 6lb 12oz and 7lb 11oz!

Actually I'm a bit mad at your midwife! My midwife never weighed me and said that they don't weigh pregnant women anymore!!

Emz how lucky are you walking out a size ten! I'm that size when not preggers but it takes a good six months for my tummy to look normal ish- still have a jelly belly and stretch marks though! Lol.

 

[Jembug]

Elz when are you testing again? X

 

[miss malteser]

Thanks for the comments.

My mum (who used to be a midwife) is also pretty angry as she says that weighing pregnant women is of no use at all unless they are really overweight and she thinks that I´m not eating enough!!

I have never weighed more than 8 stone 4 lbs in my whole life (and only just 8 stone when I got my BFP) so weighing 9 stone now with 16 weeks to go is starting to scare me a little. Plus, my weight has always been a bit of an issue with me and really didn´t want to be thinking about it during the pregnancy. I bought some maternity jeans the other day which were only a size 8 and are still a little baggy on the legs so I know I can´t be too bad but it really worries me that I can´t seem to control the weight I´m putting on somewhere! My mum and DH are now worried that I´m not going to be eating properly which I will but can´t deny that my weight is now always going to on my mind. Aaaah!! Thank god I don´t keep any scales at home. At least I wonñt be able to weigh myself until my next appt in a month.

Emz, I used to go to the gym 3 times a week too, but 6 months before my BFP I moved house, cancelled my gym membership and as it´s far too hot for the gym here in summer I didn´t bother joining a new one and never got round to it after summer. I didn´t think it would be a good idea to start at the gym now as I always struggle the first few weeks after a break and this has now been a year long break! Do you think it would be ok to start again?

 

[Jembug]

Miss malteaser are you from the uk?
I was a bulimic for years and I'm ashamed to say I did it up until 20 weeks pregnant with my first never admitted that!
I'm very conscious of my weight and body but when I felt my first moving In my tummy I knew I had to snap out of it coz that baby needed me healthy.
I still get the urge to vomit, especially if I feel I can't control things in my life.
But ive not done it for months now so um hoping my mind can stay sane, lol.

Try to stay positive about putting weight on, you can't control it all.
With my second I had flu at 30 weeks and lost a stone in weight within days/ so that ment I had only put on half a 6lb but I soon made up for it and had a health weight baby. So even if you don't put on much your baby will take all it needs from you.

Xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

I think your gain is average from what I've read she had made me angry that she's made you feel this way! X

 

[mazndave]

I just typed a really long reply then, and the blooming site crashed when I pressed submit - GGRRRRRRR!!

I've said it already, but congrats once again BBH! I've decided your bump should be called purple!!

Sonia, glad your scan went well, and good luck for your next one. Bean should look like a little gummy bear by then!

Presh, good luck to you also for your scan on the 21st, not long after mine on the 18th. Hope you get to see the heartbeat, it can go either way I think when it's such an early scan. Hope you're one of the lucky ones though that gets to see it.

Jembug, I reckon if you've got ewcm today, you'll probably see your opk 'turn' tomorrow. Just keep on bding and I'm sure you'll catch it! I think you're very brave for adnitting on here the problems you had with bulimia, and it shows what a great mummy you must be to control it for the sake of your babies.

MissM, I honestly can't believe the midwife pulled you up on your weight. 9 stone is by no means heavy, and as far as I was aware, 2 stone is seen to be a normal weight gain, so you have plenty of leeway still for the rest of your pregnancy! I thought if you were relatively slim then weight gain wasn't really an issue and not monitered as closely as it would be for a heavier woman (who would be more likely to develop problems from it?) Try not to let it get you down, I wish I weighed 9 stone! (I can remember when I used to weigh 7 stone 13lbs, and thought I was fat!! Those days are long one *sigh*)

Jem

Miss M I agree your midwife is an idiot for saying that to you too much weight??? Pfffffft very irresponsible of her IMO. You've not even put on a stone. You'll be fine honestly. And I had a gym break from about 10 weeks to around 24 weeks. Doing cardio and weights but not being silly about it. I feel fine. I think if you're used to fitness and you take it easy you'll be fine to go x

 

[miss malteser]

Jembug - I was but I´ve been able to control it for the last couple of years although the urge never goes away. I think that´ll be there forever. I think for me it was more of a control issue rather than a fear of putting on weight but obviously now, my weight gain is pretty much out of my control.

I am from the UK but don´t live there anymore and whilst most of the prenatal care is very similar over here there are some small differences, i.e. they weigh us at every appt.

I think I might look at joining the gym again although it´s been 30 degrees here for the last few days so not ideal gym weather!

Anyway, I don´t want to go on...

Hope all the BFPs are fine and healthy, Jembug, Almost and Elz, get BDing whether those OPKs are positive or not and FXd we get those last few BFPs as soon as possible!

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

30 degrees! Send it over here please

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi ladies.
Hope everyone is well? Got my first anti natal appointment which is for booking in with midwife etc at hospital, next Thursday! Also have 12 week scan date for June 26

I've been reading the info they sent re screening, what are your thoughts on the tests offered here in the uk?
