nasake I'm so happy for you. Now that you are pregnant, no more raspberry leaf but keep taking iron pills. I also have a mild anemia and Dr. Doubled my dosage since bfp. Apparently it is linked to difficulty ttc and miscarriages.

Alex I'm so sorry. I wished I could talk to your husband. Doing iui or taking fertility pills do not change your beliefs. God gave intelligence to humans so that they could develop method to help each other. All those pills are not just synthetics. Most of the components come from organic organisms plants and animals which are natural. There is no shame on asking for help. God uses multiple ways to help us. Please, just tell me your feelings. I too believe like everyone else that you deserve a baby. You are so nurturing, nice , maternal. You tried on your own now it s time for help. I hope that you can do it. Or maybe just the fertility pills. About macca I also heard great stuff . Maybe if you make a smoothie for husband and mix it in there, he wont be able to taste it but still take it.

Mill I feel your pain. Cry but don t give up. It will happen.

AFM I wish I could respond to everyone. I will try again next time. Welcome to the newbies.i have been tired but I think and pray for all of us everyday. Please check out Madagascar and Covid 19 remedy, I think we will be out of the woods soon. They found a natural remedy but the WHO does not want to recognize it bc they want to give it for free to everyone.
Keep the faith.

Welcome to Luana and Brennec. I hope that your ttc journeys will not bee too long. Either way, we will keep on supporting each other.

So glad to hear from you @nasake. I don t remember if I had checked my cervix neither but I do remember not having a lot of cm. I was actually getting dried. It is for the past 2weeks that I have now noticed an increase in my underwear.

@Alex it is very weird that his dad said that. They should have open minded especially since Russians are also excellent doctors. I will keep on praying for you.

For you too @dragonfly it will happen. Don t let go.

@E how are you and the others?

AFM I'm uncomfortable bc I am having both cravings and dislikes. Sometimes I can pinpoint exactly my cravings. Some others not. I'm staying positive. I only have 4weeks left in the 1st tri And will feel better after that. In my district, schools are officially closed for the rest of the academic year. I'm still working from home but behind in my own classes. Very tired but thinking of all of you. Stay safe.

Hi ladies, it’s been a while since I’ve posted but I do drop in to read from time to time.

Lalou, I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly for you.

Alex, I wish I could give you a big hug. You have been trying for so many years and you long for a child of your own. I think it’s time for your husband to support you in this and explore all the options available to you before it is too late. I am not religious, I don’t believe in god answering prayers. I do believe in natural selection and for a long time I was waiting to fall pregnant without medical intervention. It didn’t sit right with me because I thought if a couple can’t have children that is nature’s way of dealing with the world’s overpopulation crisis. Eventually my desire to have a family of my own led me to seek advice from a fertility specialist and start the path to ivf. If I had cancer I would have chemotherapy, radiation, surgery to survive, so why not try ivf to have a baby? As it turns out, we did end up falling pregnant without ivf treatment and I’m writing this now at just over 38 weeks pregnant and two days before my 40th birthday.

Long story short, have the laparoscopy to clear your blocked tube, do whatever fertility treatments you need to do, leave no stone unturned and have no future regrets.

I bought more tests yesterday and took one straight after shopping..... BFP on frer! Later took the digi, BFP! We're so freaking excited. Having bloodwork done today after we drop in and tell my in laws, and I made a funny tiktok to tell my family. All the prayers please that this is a sticky healthy bean, and that my having painting furniture during the tww hasn't hurt it!

Alex, I didn’t mean to be insensitive regarding cancer, I lost my dad five years ago to pancreatic cancer which was incredibly difficult and life changing for my whole family. I wish every day that he was still here, and especially now so that he could meet his first grandchild. I hope the baby helps to heal the hole in my heart. It was a poor analogy for something else that also happens naturally, yet we use every available medical option to resolve.

I read your posts full of optimism, hope, frustration, disappointment, sadness all the while being so supportive of everyone else. I hope your desire for a baby is realised one day, you may just need a little nudge from science to get there.

We've been on real rollercoaster. So when my bleeding started yesterday morning it was just gushing out from me, it was really awful. We went to womens ER in bigger city, but the registartion lady said other women have been waiting from 7 in the morning with bleeding (it was 10) and she will not register me. We went back home devastated and disappointed, I even wouldn't have went there because we were sure everything is over, but thr ER nurse told me to get it documented. Anyway later I called to small hospital in our city and asked advice, they were mad about other ER situation and that they wouldn't register me to check up on me, especially because bleeding was so heavy they were really worried about me. The dr who could've had chance to do ultrasound needed to go to clinic in bigger city and she said she will get me checked or I can go in today near our home hospital, because I didn't thinked there will be any different and I was really drained emotionally and psyhically I decided to go in today. We cried yesterday for whole day with husband and just cuddled and talked about how much we love our little onr wherever she/he is. Anyway, today when I went in, the doctor said baby is still there and heart was beating strong. Since my last visit to ER what was 4 days ago, I've gotten huge hematom in my uterus (wasn't viable 4 days ago in better ultrasound machine, so idk how it came there in such a short time but they never know) , the hematom is provably what is bleeding. She prescribed me duphaston and all lifestyle precautions what we we're following before anyway. There is no guarantee ofc, because hematoms can be really dangerous to little one, but for us that he/she is still here is a huge miracle. So we take one day at a time and pray and hope for best.

We found out my blood is rh negative and husband blood is rh positive, but they don't do anything about it and will just start taking my blood more often. And when I went to ER 4 days ago they said It looks like I might have saddle uterus or uterus with the wall in the middle. So yeah, that's that. I'll have my next appointment on next friday to see is baby growing and what is that hematom up to.

Gosh girls, I pray for all of you to get BFP and have successful and easy going pregnancies sorry for being so quiet here, I've been reading for all that time and cheering for you all, but I was so anxious to write...I'm a sponge head

Hberry. I'm at work. I had to go catch the bus. I have to phone my doctor to have my meds changed and I pray the withdrawl won't be as bad. I'm on anti depressants and the one I'm on isn't safe for pregnancy.

Yes, ya'll. You read that right. Didn't sleep well last night and kept waking up. But my temp was 98.4 so it made me test. I half expected it to be a BFN and when I saw the screen; I just cried. The second line does look a lot darker in person.

I've been secretly reading every day and cheering for everyone, but because I was ball on anxious and worry I didn't wrote.

Alex I'm crossing my fingers for you so hard, you deserve that BFP so much!

Kahlan+NatsMomma I can see second line in your gallery pictures. I'm praying for happy and healthy pregnancy for you.

I saw my baby today! Little one was 8+5 and so perfect, I got first pictures too. Hematom is little bit bigger and I continue with my medication too, doctor said that baby looks beautiful and fine, we just need to hope that when hematom starts coming out, it doesn't take baby with it. So I'm praying and trying to be more hopeful and less stressed from now. That week and a half what I waited for this ultrasound was so so hard, I was miserable because I was so worried that something might have happened, so I've been just a big mess...

I just want to say to everyone, that NEVER lose hope and if you do, try to get it back. That 4.5 years we waited for this pregnancy after having a miscarriage was hardest time for me, but miracles do happen. We had such a hard times during these years too, because we both battled with depression in between and sometimes it was really really hard. And now when I started heavy bleeding at 7+1 I was devastated, we cried all day because clearly we thought I was miscarring again, but the little one was still there and he/she still is. So it really is a miracle for us. I pray every day and thank god for everything and pray for safety of our baby. So I've learned to never lose hope, I know it's hard, I've had days when I've lost it, but the important thing is to get it back.

Good luck to everyone in TWW and I'll pray for happy and healthy pregnancies for every girl who we got in here I know I'm not the chattiest one here, but this community has been big help for me while TTC and I really appreciate every one of you very much, it's good to share your story and read about others.

Hi ya'll. Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. Tonight, my husband was having a few beers to wind down for the weekend. He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around him and he then says to me; twins eh (Canada here, lol) as he brought it up to me without me bringing it up first. So, I was pretty shocked by his comment. We also talked about when to announce to my parents and decided to wait till after the first trimester is over. My parents 21 anniversary is on July 24 and trying to think of ways to show them. Haven't figured out on how far along I am. Tonight, for shits and giggles, I decided to take a test with expired tests to see what would hqppen. Check the dates out and let me know what you think lol. Good luck to everyone who is ovulating and those testing soon. The TWWs, relax, and take it easy. Think positive towards the "unknown" and have no doubts that it will implant good enough for carrying for the baby.
Off to bed.
