POAnything? Symptom Spotting?

Chelle, I don't feel too bad in them, they feel a bit tight towards the end of the day and my boobs do end up bubbling over the top if I'm not too careful.

I know what you mean about wearing a bra to bed, I was thinking of wearing my sports bra to bed to keep them under control when I turn over!

Oh my goodness fatty. What an awful time for you. Best wishes to you all make sure you take care of yourself xx

rik are you comfortable in your current bras? Even my nipples were escaping mine! I've just bought two regular non underwire bras from Debenhams. £16 for the two and worth every penny for comfort. I even wear them at night now as my boobs are feeling so heavy!

Thanks my lovely. ...means a lot....back on the bike as regards ttc as it were :)

Onwards and upwards

Fatty I'm so sorry for your loss, what an awful time you must be going through.

My thoughts are with you and your family xxx

Hi ladies, sorry i have been awol for a week or so. We Discovered (a huge shock and surprise) my nan had liver cancer less than 3 weeks ago (after being told she had a tummy bug causing her constant d & v and osteoporosis causing her back pain!!)

She was told to wait for an appointment with the specialist within 2 weeks, but her condition worsened and we had to have her admitted to hospital, to be told she had 2-8 weeks left. The day after, a Macmillan nurse assessed her and she felt it was more likely to be a week or less.

We had our annual holiday booked for last week and had to go for the kids (took our 2 youngest aged 12 and 5) as my mum wouldnt hear of me staying home, citing that I couldnt do anything to alter the outcome, and that my kids needed to make happy memories more than anything, so we went, on sat 8th

A week to the day that nurse assessed her, and less than 3 weeks since her diagnosis, my lovely nan lost her fight for life on friday sad

throw into that a big fat AF coming, when i thought this may be THE month, so i couldnt even go in the pool or sea, and worst of all .....no possibility for a BFP for another month sad

meh....gotta keep on keeping on havent you!

aaaand....breathe!

When should you get measured for a maternity bra? I kind of want to wait until the scan just so I know everything is ok. I feel like even buying something as small as a maternity bra is too soon x

Welcome back rik. Glad to hear you had a good time.

My OH is despairing at my hormones! Yesterday he laughed (while cuddling me) because I was going through my fifth or maybe tenth hysterical crying fit in two days. Luckily for him it worked in his favour and I laughed through my tears and told him I was glad he found my hormones amusing!

My boobs have been so sore! But I got measured and have gone up three bra sizes! Mental!

Hi everyone,I'm back from my honeymoon :-) Had a fab time but was so tiring moving from place to place and the heat didn't help either.

Apart from tiredness, which was manageable by lots of resting, the only other symptoms were big boobs (not too sore) and nausea. I was actually sick once when we got up early for sea kayaking but i blame the tiredness for that. That theory has been backed up by today! Had a wedding yesterday, so after landing Fri afternoon and my body clock being all out I was out from 9am (hair app) to 9:30pm. I'm actually quite proud of lasting that long! Today I was exhausted so stayed in bed til 2pm but forced myself out to do a food shop. Heaved all the way round so only got essentials then chucked when I got home. The hubby helpfully asked if I was ok from his horizontal position in the bed whilst i had my head in the toilet!

Have my booking app tues due to being away and I'll be 10 weeks going by my LMP so hopefully not long to wait for the scan.

It's been fairly quiet I see, glad I haven't missed much. How is everyone? Any testing due?

Hello to all the new people too :-) x

Where is everyone?

Sorry for disappearing on you all! For some reason the thread came off my watch list!

9 weeks today!

I've a definite tummy growing already. That or I'm very bloated. Had the date for 12 week scan, which I've cancelled. Going to just have a listen to the heartbeat which is really exciting! So seeing the midwife on the 6th for that.

My second scan date was booked for the day before my wedding so have moved it a few days earlier.

Anyone else off food? The only thing I can reliably eat at the moment is chicken and chips or a roast dinner as long as the only vegetable is broccoli. Mac D's and Nandos are my friend!

Hi everyone,

I'm in the TWW - due to test in a week... (cycle 1, TTC #1, 30 years old) finding it impossible to not monitor and google all symptoms!! Other half left this morning for a week's business trip - so no one to keep me in check.

So AF isn't due for another week, but for the past 3-4 days I've been having cramps. The first few days it was like intense bolts of cramps on my right side which came and went, and today its been like a dull ache most of the day. Seems a bit early to be period cramping so I'm really hoping its a sign that I've implanted - what do you think?

(It may also, be absolutely nothing, but that option is much less exciting to think about)

Glad to hear it's not just me LOD! I suppose it's worse for you as it's your second so your body knows what it's doing. That's annoyingish about the scan! You could have a private late August then there's still a difference between the two?

I am worrying myself because my sickness is much improved and not yet 8 weeks, but I'm hoping it's just because now I'm home I can eat more regularly, smaller, lighter meals and avoid milk which apparently comes straight back up.

Got my booking in appointment next Friday.

I haven't had my referral through so I've done a self-referral. Fingers crossed that'll come through this week.

I did a pregnancy test when I got home from holiday as despite puking a few times a day and various other symptoms, still wanted to 'make sure'. The second the 'ink' hit the test area a line darker than the control came up! Haha.

Anyone else really bloated? My jeans are far too tight and by the evenings I am huge! Yet barely eating anything and lost weight. It hurts to hold my tummy in, not that I can get it in that far, but letting it hang, I feel like I'm 'pretending I'm pregnant.' Anyone else or is this just me?

Told in laws today, they were over the moon. :-)

Must be due some POAS?? Ace? Fattyfishwife?.

We are all very quiet on here lately! Welcome slushie
Saw the midwife weds. My blood test was awful. I'm so bruised! She was good but my vein just closed down and the blood stopped!
When do we have testing coming up ?
Must be nearly your turn fattyfish?

brilliant mrsPC thanks so very much, Ill go have a looksee for a thermometer now...any excuse for a mooch on ebay LOL

Fattyfish I temped because it made me feel slightly in control about something so unpredictable!

Really easy, BBT thermometer 'baby mad' for £5 on eBay/Amazon. Take temperature as soon as you wake up, kept mine under my pillow and note it down on FF. I took mine vaginally due to open mouth sleeping inconsistencies orally and a cold where I couldn't breath through nose to take temp. Also you could dose off with it and check the temp in the memory later. Also beeps could be heard mouth but not between legs so didn't disturb DH.

Days after ovulation, your temperature visibly rises and you know there is nothing left you can do that month, certain you have ovulated and done the best you could. In theory, once you have confirmed ovulation, you have no reason to have to temp as nothing else can be read from your chart for definite.

Good luck!

Thanks fishwife. I always poas too early aswell. The only time I didint ended up being the months I got my bfps with dd1 & 2.

Cd 7 now, I have ordered some opks, hoping they will be here by Friday.

welcome slushie, wishing you much luck on your quest for a BFP!

half way through my dreaded TWW....7 days to go, and I am gagging to pee on sticks, but know it will be pointless this early!

gah!! i hate this waiting, im terribly impatient and these TWW's feel like the T stands for thirteen!!

Hi can I join you all?
We're ttc #3. I have 2 dd's aged 8 & 2.
I came of the pill about 10 days ago and am now on cd4.
Ttc dd1 took 3 months and it took a year with dd2.

Thannks mrs p

do people recommend temping, its not something ive done, nor even know anything about.

any info/hints/tips in words of one syllable or less

much love and luck to all those in their TWW...its like waiting for christmas when youre a kid....seems to last about 6 weeks!

Is it me or does 16 weeks seem ages away? Are you having a 12 week scan?

fatty fingers crossed for you!
ace sounds really promising! My major one was sensitivity to smells. If you can, wait until 12dpo. My line, I think was 12dpo but so disappointingly light. I was like lod - a crazy pregnancy dream made me test early and I got a negative. that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Is it me or are booking in appointments a real anticlimax? I think I'm having mine on Wednesday but not sure yet. The midwife at my doc isn't available until after the 6th but I'm going to try to get in with my private lady when she does her nhs clinic
