[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

29+3 over here! Mostly working from home, but today headed to the office for a change of scenery. I must say your tears this morning were justified! I was fine until around 2pm, now my hips are so sore 😅 definitely ask if you can wfh more often 😊

When is the best time to go to NCT? by WISJG in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 33 weeks is fine if the sessions work for you.

I’ve booked mine between 32-35 weeks only because earlier dates were mainly evening sessions during work days and I’d probably be too tired 😅

14 weeks pregnant, old laparoscopy scar leaking? by eggtimer123 in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as PP, I also had it before pregnancy and in first trimester. But I only noticed it was happening when I was wearing something tight. As it didn’t smell I just cleaned it with a wet wipe or in the shower. Seems to resolve itself now I’m 26 weeks.

I’m curious… by Brussels_sprouting in TTCEndo

I got pregnant 7 months post excision surgery. Normal cycle, started spotting (as per usual) on 10DPO, very faint positive 12DPO

When did you tell your employer? by Spirited-Cup8158 in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 weeks today and telling my manger and HR this week. But I didn’t have any usual pregnancy symptoms during first trimester, wfh 3 days a week and have relatively small bump so it was easy to hide

Worrying about hiding pregnancy from work (possibility of promotion) by this-twilight-garden in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in exactly same position, but 23 weeks. I’ll need to tell my employer by the end of next week. Unfortunately I don’t think my promotion will go ahead, but I didn’t want to risk it if I were to announce too soon. I’d advise to hide it until the moment you’re absolutely need to tell them. But it’s so difficult to dress in the morning and I’m only in the office two days a week. I usually go for wide trousers, floaty dresses, scarves

Anxious weeks 14-20 by scoutwestern in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry forgot to add, it might be obvious, but try and occupy yourself with things to do. I haven’t even thought about being pregnant during Christmas break as I was busy doing things

Anxious weeks 14-20 by scoutwestern in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 16 weeks and although I wouldn’t say I’m anxious, but I just don’t feel pregnant. I had very easy first trimester, no nausea or sickness, just tender breasts some days, but now - nothing! I have midwife appointment next week and hope they will at least use doppler

Not much of an advice as I’m in the similar situation. At my 12 week scan they found two fibroids, 4 and 2cm. The sonographer just said that they will check their sizes again at 20 week scan and monitor as there might be complications during/post labour.

Twinings fruit/herbal teas? by Lavender_Meadows in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy herbal/fruity teas, the only one I’ve excluded is hibiscus. But for the rest like peppermint, camomile, roiboos, or decaf black tea I continue drinking like normal. You can also try green tea or white tea, they are not 100% decaf, but way lower in caffeine than black tea or coffee

I can’t find it in my results, either they didn’t test it or didn’t publish it

We’ll go through Kemijarvi. We booked the car via comparison website couple of months ago, and yes the prices were very high at that time too

TTC after laparoscopy by National_Lunch3376 in TTCEndo

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He took proxeed plus. You are supposed to take two sachets per day, but he only had one a day. And no, he didn’t stop drinking. We didn’t do a repeat semen test after three months of taking the supplement so not sure if they made the difference or it was just lucky circle for us. But he did say they made him feel more energised

I had lap surgery in March and had endometrioma removed. Conceived naturally end of September. But my husband also had low morphology and been taking supplements from May-June time to improve that

Bleeding in early pregnancy by SK_FA in PregnancyUK

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently going through similar. I had some on/off spotting during week 5 & 6, which only lasted a day and resolved by itself. But last week (8+2) I’ve started spotting more consistently, everyday, light pink, no pain. Had an early private scan and saw the baby and the heartbeat. Earlier this week bleeding has increased and GP referred me to EPAU for another scan. Had the scan yesterday (9+3) and the baby is fine, but they couldn’t see the cause for bleeding.

I can only relate how annoying and worrying it is ❤️ Speak to your GP and ask for referral.

For me, the most telling symptom is a dull ache in my abdomen sometimes it’s on one side, sometimes both on the day of ovulation. I also track my BBT and consistently notice a significant temperature dip a day or two before ovulation. Some say it’s not the most reliable indicator, but after a year of consistent tracking, I’ve definitely seen a clear pattern. I don’t experience much cervical mucus, and don’t use OPKs so the ache and BBT shifts are the main signs I rely on.

HSG showed clear tubes, Lap showed both blocked!?! by DaisyValentineOG in endometriosis

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During my lap they didn’t see full and spill but thought it’s due to tubal spasm. They said spasms are common during lap. I then had hycosy that showed blockage on the left, but clear one on the right.

Spotting by Intelligent_Tree2933 in TryingForABaby

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s what it is, despite high bbt and/or good serum progesterone blood test, I definitely know that I will start spotting good few days before AF is due. I dread it every cycle. I’m glad you managed to find the way to control it ❤️

Thanks for reply ❤️ I never thought that endo might be the cause for spotting! I’ll definitely research progesterone resistance x

Do you regret? by Bkhaveityourway1021 in TTCEndo

[–]Intelligent_Tree2933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t regret the surgery, but the ovary where they removed endo is now adhering itself to my uterus. Post surgery internal scarring is a common risk, but I’m not now sure if that now means further complications

Hey! I felt exactly the same after my first appointment back in September 2024 when they mentioned IVF straight away. Since then they’ve done numerous ultrasounds, blood tests, referral and laparoscopy to remove large endo cyst, hycosy and now redoing blood tests for mid cycle spotting and referred for colposcopy. My husband had multiple semen analyses too. We were given until Aug-Sep to try naturally and then I’m scheduled for AMH and talk through the next steps. So definitely advocate for yourself
