@Makingawish my temp did rise today. So I was being a numpty worrying about nothing! 🤦‍♀️

PippaPug · 31/07/2019 17:33

@macbless - you thought about it more then I did 🙈 I just knew I didn’t want to be sick on my wedding day....honeymoon has been fantastic - although early mornings has really tired me out!

Is anyone else who is pregnant, not being sick, or haven’t been sick? Sounds silly but I haven’t been sick at all (I have other symptoms) but slightly concerned about not being sick as that whats a major sign and its making me a bit anxious about it all....hope it’s ok asking on here and I’m not being insensitive asking on here, if I am I can get my post removed 🙈

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:28

Fab news on the scans too. Really happy for you both xx

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:27

@PippaPug enjoy the honeymoon! We got married in May and are going to Sri Lanka in September for our honeymoon- literally can’t wait.
We knew we wanted to start trying for a baby straight after getting married so tried to find somewhere that would be exciting but also not have any too nasty infectious diseases.... hoping if I am pregnant by September (and who knows if that will happen) then i’ll cope with it ok! Just didn’t want to miss out on the trip and then not be pregnant either. Has anyone else done anything like that?

@Lozzlepop I hate that cut off of 35 as it does just make you feel more under pressure. I have a friend who got pregnant the first time of trying aged 39 and had her baby with no problems at 40. So I try to think of that when I feel worried. Xx

Thanks @ELW85. Just got try and keep busy so I don't stress out over the next 2 weeks but relax at the same time 😂

@LokiCat fingers crossed you'll get to dtd tonight 🙂

LokiCat · 31/07/2019 09:55

@ELW85 that's absolutely brilliant - I'm so, SO happy for you!!! That must have been so lovely to see!!! Exactly what I wanted to see when I came back on here!! ❤️❤️ I'll stop with the exclamation marks now (!!)

@hopeandpray1988 glad everything went well at your appointment too!! Good luck for your appointment in two weeks xx

ELW85 · 31/07/2019 09:50

@cupcakesandglitter - thank you so much! So, so happy! Xx

@purplefig - your post made me well up a bit!! Thank you so much 💕 I feel confident enough to join a pregnancy thread now, so I’d love to, if you wouldn’t mind linking me? Xx

cupcakesandglitter · 31/07/2019 09:45

Awwww yay @ELW85 so glad it went well for you ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

purplefig · 31/07/2019 09:43

@ELW85 YESSSS!!!!!!! GET IN!!! I am over the moon for you mate!!!! Came on here to wish you well today and so relieved to see you've already been in haha. Come and join us on the pregnancy thread whenever you feel like it. I found it really reassuring as loads of ladies on there much further along who have been through it all. Ahhh big hugs. I've got a proper big grin on my face Grin

ELW85 · 31/07/2019 09:39

@hopeandpray1988 - thank you so much!
It’s great that they’re getting you back when they can see more.
I’m sure it’ll all go well, but you’re totally right to relax in the next couple of weeks :) xx

hopeandpray1988 · 31/07/2019 09:31

@ELW85 congratulations chick! 😘
We've just had our scan and like I suspected I'm only 5 weeks not 6 so there wasn't much for them to see. Said at this point everything is as it should be though in the early stages of pregnancy. Lots of fluid and a gestational sack. They've made me another scan appointment for 2 weeks time where they said they'll see more and we should hear the heartbeat 🙂 I'm going to take my time and relax for the next two weeks now. Luckily I'm off work for the next 4 and a half as I'm a teacher 👍🏻

Lozzlepop · 31/07/2019 09:19

@MrsH497 oh the most tiring stage of SMEP!!

@Macbless I am almost 36 so with you on the time pressure!

@LokiCat good going lovely, its a long road is the old SMEP! Well they recommend allowing one period before TTC again. I have started OPKs which are low but the weirdest thing last night and this morning I felt I was having OV pains which is so weird.

@ELW85 so so happy for you!!

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!

ELW85 · 31/07/2019 09:13

Well ladies, I’m 5w6d with a healthy heartbeat and seen!
Keep absolutely everything crossed for me that it stays that way!
So relieved I cried at the scan!
Thank you all for your lovely messages of support - it means so much :) xx

Nearlyusnai · 31/07/2019 08:43

@whatsthecraic91 here I've only managed to hold off cos I got the BFN the other day and I've not just convinced myself we didnt catch this month. I'll still be devastated when AF arrives. Have fun Saturday I'm off for cocktails for a friend's birthday so we can both drown the sorrows.

MrsH497 · 31/07/2019 08:38

@LokiCat neither did I!! 😂 still got 2 more days then 1 more for luck! Hopefully weekend away will assist our frisky sides! Last night was just not working for either of us 😂 but hey

Have a great day everyone.

@ValidUser how are you doing?

LokiCat · 31/07/2019 08:29

Well I had a very interesting morning. Tested three times yesterday and wasn't even close to a peak, but had a temp spike this morning, lots of EWCM and a positive on my OPK 😩
DH came home around 1ish last night, woke me up but I was too tired to DTD. So I ran to him this morning and woke him up. Bless him he was up to go but I think I put too much pressure on him (mostly cos I was running late for work - I felt so bad!). So we didn't manage to do it 🙈
He's working late again tonight, but will force myself to stay up! Hopefully we're not out this cycle.. last time we DTD was Sunday morning.

@MrsH497 well done for managing to do it! I didn't realise it would be this difficult 😂

Have a good day all xx

Makingawish · 31/07/2019 08:12

@Macbless thank you! Best of luck to you too 💜 xx
