Ttc#1 Thread 7. 'I've sneezed twice, dtd, drank 2 glasses of juice, ate some cheese and I want a cuddle, Ovia am in pregnant yet?' TMI alert throughout.

No that makes sense starky. Not being afraid of the things that are out of my control, and accepting that things can't always be as I want and choose them and that's OK, is a big part of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks for me. You're doing good! 😊

Great news starky, and nice to hear about your recovery too evergreen. Anxiety is fucking awful!

That's great news starky. I did CBT a few years ago. I found a few of the techniques quite effective. How did you find it?

Indi I am about to jump mine
I am all preseeded up

Starky congrats! Were you doing CBT only or meds as well? I have been off my anxiety meds for a year now
Ladies I have an app called headspace. For meditation but easy meditation. You can try it for free. There is a pregnancy pack now

Soooo thought I was on first day of 2ww, just been to the toilet and quite a lot of EWCM was there! Wtf?! Looks like DH will be getting jumped on any minute..

It was on thread 6. The posters name is still there along with "message removed by mn hq for breaching community guidelines" or something. Their name was Chris something.

Thanks Co5mo yes, I had to take the anti-emetic at the same time as the codeine, but nothing else was touching it. Or at least, nothing else they could prescribe in pregnancy.
About 2 years ago I was getting loads of migraines again and realised one day I was taking a ton of codeine. So went cold turkey and spent two days in bed with the worst headache and nausea of my life. I've been a lot more careful ever since.

I was on hospital grade co-codamol last week (after the morphine floating), and when I saw the nurse on Friday I begged for something else. No pain, but I felt so sick, and I couldn't stay awake. So I'm on the over the counter stuff, alternated with paracetamol.

I swear the constipation was worse than childbirth

miley iui is intrauterine insemination - loads less invasive than ivf but much less successful... Hence current plan of action.
Just spoke to lovely lady in us from sperm bank - may well use them, less chance of halfsibling issue perhaps? Have to decide this weekend.... Took me ages to find first donor...

Miley I found loads of chocolate and Ben and jerrys in asda and bought it and now me and DH are ending our date night being fat bastards in bed tomorrow is a new day, I'll be healthy tomorrow

kwick what's an iui? Hope you find the perfect potion soon.

I found the left over Christmas cake and I won't tell you how much I ate but I am almost in a sugar induced coma with painful bloating and a food baby. Shit, I have no self control and I'm not even due af.

Imp don't worry the codeine you've taken at this stage won't have grown you a mini addict. I don't think it would have an effect on implantation but I've never actually looked it up. Codeine in migraines is only recommended after everything else has been tried because it makes the nausea worse and can cause drug induced headache. (and the co-codamol you can buy does little more than paracetamol except make you constipated)

Wow you guys have been busy! I made a couple of posts to old thread...

Anyway here are my stats:
Kwick
41
TTC #1
Five failed IUIs
Now started IVF process - stimulated
In search of new magic potion as need to change from previous donor

I am actually slightly concerned that if I do get a bfp this cycle I've created an opiate addict - I was off my face for the first 5 days after I ovulated... I'm on a reduced dose and less often now, but I do worry about the effect that many painkillers might have

I do have some migralieve type drugs from the USA but I'll not bother with them just in case.

I use co codamol usually for bad af pains. I can't find any plain paracetamol in the house and bigger if I'm going out. So I'll just take one of them and head to bed... Thanks 💐

Snow I suffer from epic migraines in pregnancy. I was mri-ed and everything last time. They prescribed me codeine and cyclizine, not even co-codamol. So think you're good for paracetamol and co-codamol. What do you normally take? I think ibuprofen is the one they prefer you to avoid.

Well that was an interesting conversation. I think he'll be less confused by the practical Imp.

I know about drugs noting that could be taken completely the wrong way. Start off with Paracetamol Snow. Migraines are horrible. Hope it gets better soon.

I know what you mean miley, but it seems you have more willpower than me!

Sorry jam! I needed to share ;) I have spent way too long on there already!

Oh I didn't know that was a newbie, I read the blog. Seemed harmless enough. Maybe they spammed the boards though.

Evergreen no, I couldn't find a lid. That's probably where I went wrong!

Aww runner, morning all-day sickness is the worst!! Hopefully it will disappear as you approach the second trimester.
