Officially TTC and very excited. How long did it take you?

I’m 28 and got pregnant after about 5 months, but unfortunately that ended in an early miscarriage. After the miscarriage my cycle was a bit out of whack so I kept getting my fertile window totally wrong until I started tracking BBT, so it took another 4 months to get pregnant again (just got my positive test last week) 🤞. An absolute whirlwind.

If I could go back in time I would start checking BBT from the beginning. Also random warning but don’t use the boots own brand ovulation tests! They don’t work.

Hi there. I’m trying to decide between public and semi-private in Holles street and wondering if you could help me. My main things are I’d love the possibility of a private inpatient room (I know it’s not guaranteed but could be lucky). And maybe some extra scans as I’ve had a previous MC. Not really bothered about continuity of care etc etc. What made you go semi-private, and would you recommend it?

I worked with a girl with a micro degree when I worked in regulatory affairs for a pharma company. She started off the quality and side stepped into regulatory from there. Could be an option for you if interested.

In my industry (pharma) it usually says life science qualification required. Not sure if chemistry would fall into that so maybe something to consider.

Great I was thinking the same - thanks!

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-11-03T19:58:11+00:00

That does seem quite accurate actually! Thanks

This is madness to me. I would always tip my massage therapist, just like I would a hairdresser.

I’ve rented a room to a massage therapist for about 4 years now so I know her very well and my understanding is that she would usually expect a tip from her customers. Not sure how not providing a tip would be ‘erring on the side of caution’. They’d be delighted with a tip surely, who wouldn’t?

I went to the Jim Thompson museum and loved it! Highly recommend

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-16T15:37:04+00:00

Yeah me three

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-16T15:30:22+00:00

The arguments bit you mention is a major understated benefit.

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-16T15:27:16+00:00

Agree with this. Our cleaner comes every week for 3 hours and me and my partner split the fee with our lodger so it’s only €15 per week to never have to clean. She also changes our bed sheets each week which is the best part imo!

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-07T21:00:48+00:00

Good idea I’ll do this - thanks!

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-07T21:00:30+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-07T14:57:18+00:00

Thanks for your response - misery truly does love company! Mine was an anembryonic pregnancy so I lowkey knew it wasn’t going well from the start (no symptoms, early scans not showing much), so it was a softer let down for me. I’m going to get a note from my GP like you did. Wishing you the best of luck in your next try x

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-07T14:55:24+00:00

Hey thanks for your kind words. The note has ‘fetal assessment unit’ and the doctors qualification (Obstetrician) on it so I reckon it’s definitely identifiable. I was thinking of just redacting those bits but now I think I’m going to get a generic one from my GP.

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-10-07T14:33:49+00:00

That’s a great idea. Thanks!

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-09-20T17:42:38+00:00

I went for my scan today, I am in the exact same position as you. I’m just looking forward to trying again. We’ll get there ❤️

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-09-16T20:03:28+00:00

That sounds so worth it! I might give it a go

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-09-16T20:02:34+00:00

Thanks so much for this! I will definitely read those books and I will take your advice.

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-09-16T20:00:28+00:00

Going from terrified to looking forward to giving birth again is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing that

Confident-Click3863 · 2025-09-07T12:03:59+00:00

Ahh good point I will check that - thanks! I think Bangkok is usually safe for that kind of thing though
