We saw the fertility specialist again on Thursday. I think my face was one of surprise when my name was called as the Dr standing before me looked about 16, but he explained he was a medical student and would sit in on our appointment unless we objected, which we didn’t. Another surprise as we entered the consulting room was… Read More
35
Here it is, the day I turn 35… how I’ve dreaded this day – being in my mid 30s and that much closer to 40 – but if I’m honest it doesn’t feel any different to 34, or any other age in my adult life so far. I still behave like an 18 year old at times and certainly don’t feel like… Read More
Looking back, moving forward
This time last year we were coming towards the end of our holiday in Canada with no idea that we had a stowaway on board. I wish I could say I was writing this whilst looking at that stowaway but sadly it wasn’t to be. I can’t believe that a year has past since we first fell pregnant. Looking back it… Read More
Starting over, again
After what has felt like an eternity since the miscarriage, we find ourselves here again – starting over. It gets harder every time, but no matter how hard this journey is, we won’t ever give up on having our take home baby. So, with that in mind, we now begin Clomid cycle number 3 – third time lucky perhaps?? So far we’ve had… Read More
Is this miscarriage finally over…
Apologies in advance for sharing tmi as usual, but hey if nobody talks about these things then how are others going through the same going to know what’s “normal” or not… I’m daring to believe that this last miscarriage is now actually over, nearly 5 weeks after it started. Proper bleeding lasted about a week and since then it’s been brown blood… Read More
Spotty teenager or old granny?!
My hormones are well and truly all over the place since the last miscarriage. I have no idea what is going on with my cycle, I’ve had various niggles that I’d normally put down to OV but that doesn’t seem to be the case now, and over the past couple of weeks my face, and even neck and chest, has gotten… Read More
Back to basics
A side effect of taking Clomid is that it can thin your uterine lining, which in turn can hamper implantation of the embryo. Dr “James” our Consultant told me to go in for a scan, on a Thursday, between cycle days 10-16 to check the thickness of mine, this happened to be this week on CD 14. As soon as… Read More
The Wish bracelet
I totally forgot to mention this in a previous post, but the Wish bracelet I put on at Christmas fell off a few days ago. Now I know I’m definitely not pregnant so, so much for it falling off when my wish had come true hmm! A few ladies on my BC board said maybe it’s a sign that we will… Read More
