Pregnant after Fertility Issues / Long Term (12m+) TTC

'Morning Ladies!

Well I had a busy weekend - friend had an engagement party and we helped with setting up gazebo's, furniture etc, and I had my best mate with my gorgeous godson (3yrs 3 months) staying with me - so house was chaos! He has so much energy, I don't know how I will cope if I have one like him!!!!! She is expecting again (22 wks now), and is one of the few people who knows about us, so we had lots of baby-chat!

KT1985, I'm about 8 days being you! 7 wks today. I'm a bit more realxed about it now we had the scan last Thurs and know that there is really a baby there (and it has a heartbeat!) - looking forward to this Thurs now as they are doing a follow-up (trying to check what happened to emby #2 - given my history there's always a concern of another ectopic) but I am trying not to worry about it - looking at it as another chance to see 'blob' and especially to see the flickering heartbeat - I was a bit too shocked and emotional last week to take it in!

Somnium - good to 'see' you! I'm v.tired too, and a bit headachey, but apart from a couple of bouts of feeling nauseaous at the w/e (was not actually sick though, thank goodness) I feel OK actually. Could do witjhout the stress of this redundancy-thing, but trying not to let it bother me too much!

Hopefully Nottlass & Nicki will be along to join us soon, and really hope that the others from TTC 12m+ get here soon too!

All the best,

FE

I'm here! :hello:

I noticed that on the main ttc+ thread, after we opened a new one with a graduates list at the front, that some of the girls who haven't had their BFPs yet, have been quite a bit more upset than normal, and also feeling more sensitive about the number of pregnant women who are around them. Not helped I think by a few newbies who joined the thread just to post they were pregnant after trying for a while. I know that all the girls there are happy for those that they know who have finally got here, and like to hear from us now and again but maybe we should try to be extra careful at the moment not to make things worse over there? I remember how upsetting it was back in the day to have to be pleased for others when hurting so much for your own situation.

Hi Nicki,

That's just what I was thinking, so thought it would be good for us to have somewhere else to have a natter! Also, I for one can't cope with the main PG thread - I don't always get a lot of time to read and post, and it goes so fast I can't keep up!

I noted the advice for PG women re Swine Flu had been updated. Tricky isn't it? One minute they are telling you all this - then the next they say - 'just behave as usual but be aware of the risks' - so do they want us to change our behaviour as per their advice or what?!?!

One thing I am a bit happy about is that I found out when I went to the Early Pregnancy Clinic at one of our area health-centres last Friday that it is becoming the local 'Swine Flu HQ' so all the services which had been centralised there are being devolved out again to the smaller health centres and GP surgeries...happily this means that I get to see midwives at my local health centre/GP's, which is walking distance, rather than having to travel to the other one, so a result for me at any rate!

I don't think they have too much experience with IVF ladies though - I was trying to fill in the preliminary forms, but they are totally confused as regards my dates! Good thing I have done all my research - I ended uphaving to tell them my EDD 'cos they couldn't work it out LOL!!!!
