Need some TTC buddies

@ImMeantToBeWorking I’m using Flo and Fertility Friend at the moment, I like the FF app because you can log a positive OPK and it changes your test day to be more accurate

Having that dreaded dull before period ache today and I’m due on Saturday so have a bad feeling I’m out this month 😢

@Louise, don't worry about the bloods, you will be 100% I am not sure we get that kind of attention in Ireland, I have never heard of it anyway, I think we have to go in for all our tests. I am 50mins to an hour from the nearest maternity wards and nearest maternity hospital is 2hours from me (which is where we will need to go if there is anything wrong) so the appointments will be fun!! Just need to get pregnant first.

@Anon93 - not that you need it now, but I use the chart on the Flo and Ovia apps. Using the two of them for the min. Not sure which one is better.

@Lammoshay you are very patient, I couldn't wait that long if I am honest!

Thankyou for the well wishes
I am really tired all the time, feel sick for most of the day and my appetite has completely gone. I have also had mild cramping for past two weeks. In general I just Feel awful and bloated all the white!
Hoping I will start to feel more human as the pregnancy progresses x

Congratulations @holiday16 💐

@ImMeantToBeWorking I bought a thermometer and fertility chart off eBay and haven’t managed to figure it out so it’s now been dumped in the back of my wardrobe 😂

So I’m suffering really bad again with nausea, it’s not just in the mornings it comes in waves throughout the day and I feel it so bad right now so fingers crossed that’s a good sign even if all my other “symptoms” disappeared! 😊

Not long now then @lammoshay, It is still early, i had hardly any closer to the time really.
Feel so bloated today and having pms pains off and on since i found out so its all very strange

congratulations @holiday16 I am 6 weeks on Thursday :)

Sounds promising @Lammoshay fingers crossed for you, How long til you can test?

@immeanttobeworking I am just going to leave it a while and see how i feel a bit further down the line. I spoke to her on the phone last week and she did the booking in with me early, she is coming this Friday round the house to chat again and meet face to face and do my bloods, not looking forward to them at all :(

@Louise392 I hope it all works out for you, maybe an elected csection would be your best option. Was it Friday gone you met the midwife? How did it go?

@Lammoshay, I have everything crossed for you! We need some more BFPs in here.

Welcome @Anon93

Congrats :Holiday16, I hope it all goes well for you

OK so I have been temping the last while, and I am none the wiser. I was taking pain meds for my broken toe, and my friend made a comment about how that would affect my chart when I showed her, and also I had a flu so that could affect it as well as the cold and flu tablets I was taking. So broken toe happened on the 9th Feb, flu started on the 16th Feb until around the 22nd, according to Flo Ov was the 28th of Feb, but look at my charts, it seems to me (first month temping so really I haven't a clue) that I Ov on the 3rd? Or am I totally wrong on that? Help needed from you lovely ladies who have temped before!

Fantastic news @Holiday16 congratulations. Wishing u a healthy pregnancy x

Hi all, just an update as I joined this thread in January after one Month of ttc. I can now confirm I am 6 weeks pregnant. Thankyou
For the support you have all shown me and I wish you all luck on fertilising your eggs xx

@Lammoshay sounds promising 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I started the smep todsy! Fingers crossed!!

Thanks for the warm welcome ❤️

I felt a little nauseous this morning but apart from that I have no other symptoms today, really trying to stay optimistic!

Hopefully one of us get caught this month! @hopeful @Lammoshay

@Louise392 I'm sure there is no rush on ur decision . So just think it over xx

Hi @Anon93 I'm only day 8 of my cycle so I have a long way to go 😭😭

@Lammoshay I'm really hoping that this is ur month 😘

Hi ladies! Hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. It’s been 10 days since my positive OPK and have another 8 days until AF is due, the waiting is killing me!! I’ve had a couple of symptoms like nausea, mood swings and increase in appetite. I also feel tender from the outside and I know this might sound crazy but I just feel like there’s something in there I don’t want to get my hopes up as last month I was really upset when I got my BFN who else is waiting to test? x

Hi @Lammoshay, She based it on my BMI being 40, not really weight as such but BMI being high.

To be honest the last csection was the best birth i have had out of all 3,

first was horrendous being induced, doing full contractions, labour then having an emergency c section put to sleep and getting an infection, ended up staying in hospital for 10 days.

Second was natural birth but had to have forceps and an episiotomy, when they did that they cut my vein and so i had to have a blood transfusion so was in for about 5 days.

3rd i elected a c section and was awake, had a spinal and was out of hospital in 2 days, very easy no complications at all so if i can do that again i possibly would.

@Louise392 that's tuff. Sorry to hear that. Although if having a c section is safer for u both, is it the better option? Hope ur ok x
