SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - expecting plenty of BFPs in June!

Wow purple am so pressed
Wish I had the same willpower as you.after i stopped bf,I started gaining weight and am currently a size 18
. with the stress of not getting upduffed,food is my comfort lol

CD24 , going to test tomorrow with fr. AF due cd27...

Have you done any proper tests Mimi? I mean, not ICs, maybe a FRER? I know you're past AF day so that would be a very good one to test.

My diet is going ok. I lost 5.5kg so far, which is good but doesn't put me in a normal BMI yet. My running is getting better, now I'm alternating between running 5km in a slow pace, or 3km in a slightly faster pace, every day. I can't even believe I'm able to do that. Now I'm thinking of participating in a proper race.

Good luck with fw Nim!

How is the diet going purple? Hope we all join the grads soon

Good luck nim in the tww .glad you are feeling better

Hi guys,

Jod and radders, I'm sorry you are feeling sick all the time.. Is it weird to say I hope to join your group soon?

Jem, I feel like I should have dtd more this cycle too, only three times up to positive opk, then stopped.. It's starting to feel like an obligation, don't think dh likes when it's like this. Hope ot was enough to catch that egg.

Physics, I'm glad your mom is ok. The same things happen to me, my family never tells me anything, serious or otherwise. I once had a friend staying over (also brazilian living in Europe) and she found out on facebook that her dad had died, because nobody wanted to tell her. It sucks.

Sorry Kate for the news,but glad that she is OK now.hope your oh is there for you.

radders and Jod I feel your pain. Hope it eases off soon.I had a terrible pregnancy last time ,I wouldn't wish it on anyone

Good luck in the tww sucha,don't stress about it,I'm sure there were lots of sperm in waiting

Well af hasn't come yet but got a bfn with an indent on an ic .ttc is driving me insane.

pepper what's the news?

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend

Kate that sounds scary. I'm glad there was someone who knows first aid. Knowing how to deal with someone choking is really important, did you see the video done with children's toys?
www.sja.org.uk/sja/support-us/our-campaigns/baby-choking-the-chokeables.aspx

There was a child near me who died after choking on a grape not too long ago. It's terrifying.

Lots of sympathy Radders and Jod. I think the sleep deprivation makes nausea harder to deal with. My kids are pretty good at the morning, my dd wakes every morning at 7 but she plays quietly until my Dh gets up so I get a lie in! She sometimes wakes I'm the night but it's not often. If I don't get enough sleep I get cranky and sometimes tearful.

Had a glass of wine and dtd last night. Glad to be back on it. Fw is this week (expected ov day is Saturday but I was late last month). Going to go for every other day I think (unless I feel like more frequently )
I need to get the energy and motivation to clean the house. We are getting a cleaner from next week. It means that my savings will build up slower but I'm sick of living a mess and spending my precious free time just trying to keep on top of things.

Jem don't stress about it honestly as I hardly DTD at all last month.

Jem I would dtd today :)

Yes radders I have Lemon & Ginger tea, peppermint tea, ice pops, ginger yogurt, ginger and carrot drinks, ginger ale, ginger biscuits. None of it worked with my last two pregnancies either. I hope with you this is just a first trimester sickness. I'm afraid I'm once again facing 9 months of HG. I am taking the stemetil that the doctor prescribed but as of yet it's not working.

Jem don't feel worried.
We dtd cd11,12 and 14 only around ovulation then 17. Think I ovulated 14. You haven't wrecked your chances at all. Don't forget the swimmers hang around for up to 7 days! Xx

Cd18, 2 DPO

Feeling a bit worried I've messed this cycle up now as we haven't DTD yesterday or today. We did it weds thurs and Friday - and I got my positive OPK on Friday morning. I would feel happier if we had done it again yesterday though

Kate that's so scary, glad she is okay. Can see why they wouldn't want to worry you but it must be hard feeling like they keep things like this from you.

Hope you pregnant ladies are all okay, nausea does not sound fun x

Jod I feel sick all day everyday. I got some lemon and ginger tea from Aldi and that seems to be helping. Have you tried that?
I'm opposite though as I can eat - I feel like I need to be grazing all the time. I can tell my blood sugar levels have dropped because feel like I need sugar quite a lot.

I hate moaning too because it's due to such an amazing thing but feel sick everyday is draining

Oh wow Kate! That's shocking. Glad all is ok.

Feel so sick ladies. I'm sorry to moan. I woke needing a pee three times. First time my son came in crying cos he had wet his bed so he came in with me. Then he was sniffing so much I moved to the spare room then he started to yell for me so hubby went and got in with him but at this point I was awake with a headache. Then third time I woke needing a pee and cos I had had a bad dream and I felt sick since.

Kate sorry to hear that! Glad she's ok. I know when I lived away from my parents they would do the same. Don't tell you until it's happened and all ok.

Hopefully be ovulating soon xx

Oh that's awful Kate! Glad she is ok though. Poor thing.
Hope you ovulate soon! X

Had some very strange news last night and don't really know how to process it, so I turn to you, dear strangers of the internet - I feel like I need to tell someone.

My mom died a few weeks ago. She choked on some meat and her heart stopped. But they managed to revive her and she is fine now. Cracked a few ribs during the CPR. Luckily there was a first aider at the dinner party. Because my parents live 7000 miles away, they often don't tell me about bad news until it is resolved...

Put a weird twist on things that's for sure!

CD18 dtd last night (and had a couple drinks to steady the nerves/ shock). Not temping, but have not had a positive opk yet... hopefully today or tomorrow (have ov'd cd19 the last two cycles).

Sorry for delay guys. Struggling to focus with the nausea.
Footprints I can't really remember when I started to feel sick. I think I had a viral thing / cold before this. I had a few sick free days on holidays and I have felt nauseated since (so about the 19th). Yes I had the stemetil here too as I suffered with vertigo a few months ago. You can only take stemetil until 3rd trimester. I didn't take anything in previous PG's. I had a different doc and he wouldn't give me anything despite being hospitalised repeatedly.
I feel a bit nervous taking meds though.

Also I too have noticed I am gassy but it's all burps. So maybe there is something in the gassy thing.

I have a good feeling about all of you this month!!!!

Thanks Jem, feeling a bit better today thankfully.

Summer, are you testing soon? Did you cave and buy a FRER? I never have yet but I might buy a couple to see if I am having any chemicals.

Buster, I usually temp but I am having a month off. I was doing it to get some reassurance I was actually ovulating (which it seems I am) but I have a shortish LP which I am trying to lengthen by putting on some weight. I have put on a pound! feel like i need to eat all the time.

Bless your son nim! . Sorry you've not been well - I hope you feel lots better soon.

CD17 1 DPO

Gonna call it and say I ovulated yesterday. That would have me on track for a 30 day cycle. I tend to fluctuate between 28-29-30 days so that's fine. We have DTD days 4,8,11,14,15,16 ... Starting to get a bit saddle sore ...

footprints that all sounds very promising!

mimi you are now late!!

Fx AF stays away for all those waiting. Let's get some bfps on a roll!

Hi all CD 9 here.
Don't worry about the symptoms (or lack of them). With both my previous pregnancies I didn't feel anything unitl I was 6 weeks, and there are plenty of people here who have said lack of symptoms can be a good thing!

Fingers crossed Pepper, you are not out until you are out, though it is really frustrating.

I am glad you have got something from the docs Jodders, remember there are other options so if the prochlorperazine doesn't work, did you take that in your last pregnancy?

Brilliant news Footprints! I have a good feeling about this cycle for you.

Mimi, are you going to see the docs after this cycle?Big hugs. It is a bit all encompassing isn't it.

Physics, I have been feeling nauseated too, I think there is a bug going round.

Tee - welcome to the tww. remember to keep up with the dtd, i have a theory that it might help implantation.

Jem your dates look great! I haven't managed to dtd at all this cycle

because I have been ill, and I have had spotting for the last two days, really downhearted.

PS I had a nightmare last night, I dreamt I was in labour but the placenta separated and I needed an emergency c-section so they just cut my belly open then and there. scary stuff.

I have to go and keep my son company in the toilet as he doesn't want to be alone to poo! I will hopefully catch up with everyone else later.

PS my test date this cycle is 21st of July.

Also spots on chin still bad but seem to be getting a bit better. Also feel less bloated today. Would symptoms continue to get worse or would they ease off after implantation? I could be 10dpo possibly...
