Hello @AliSxo thats the best news ever!! Congratulations :D How are you feeling?!

Im 32 weeks today, had a weird few weeks. Spent 4 days in hospital in pre term labour - luckily the drugs worked to stop contractions but I've had some steroids to mature little ones lungs just incase she makes an early appearance. Drs want me to aim for 34 weeks initially and then 37 weeks! Hopefully she stays till then.

We have a long list of names but I think we are just going to wait for her to be born and see what she 'looks like' ...

Hope you're all keeping well in this pandemic!!

@Blossomingflower94 Aww a little girl, how lovely. Have you and OH talked names yet? I have nothing exciting to report sadly, though of course I'll let you know if that changes. My last two cycles have been a bit messed up but just got AF a couple days ago so hoping to turn a new leaf.

Yes 20 week scan all done, we're having a little girl! I'm 21 weeks tomorrow and she is super active!

Really hoping that your spotting was a good sign?!

Thanks lovely! Glad it's behind us 😊

Wow, almost time for 20 week scan, that's incredible! Glad to hear the sickness has finally subsided, must have been rough! Everyone says that the second trimester feels the best, enjoy it!

As for me I'm due AF Friday, have been spotting since Saturday already which is ridiculous. I was hopeful it was implantation but I think I'm just having a weird cycle. Trying out CoQ10 next cycle, and yoga. I think I just need to chill, will try to do a weekend in the countryside for Valentine's Day.

Sorry to hear about the difficult end to the year, that really sucks. Hopefully things improve for you this year

@Blossomingflower94 Sorry for the extremely late reply, I took some time away from mumsnet over the last two months. OH's grandad passed away just before Christmas so it's been a tough end of the year, definitely glad to leave 2019 behind! Feeling much more positive now 😊

How amazing that you had your first scan, must have felt great to get that extra reassurance! And that was already a month ago - can't believe you're almost half way through your pregnancy! 😮 Hope you'll keep checking in from time to time, would be lovely to hear how things keep progressing with you 😊

Hello ladies, Just checking in. I'm ok thanks for asking, still being sick daily but had my 12 week scan last week which was lovely. Just the one bean in there which is reassuring (I was convinced it was twins because of how sick ive been!!).

Sorry to hear AF has got you again, like you say it WILL be your turn soon

Hey @Blossomingflower94 @Raizelrea AF has arrived this evening so another month out! Hey it's life it'll be my turn soon I'm sure of it just got to keep trying xxx I think I've become obsessed recently with it all and I'm going to just calm down and not make it my only priority anymore xx how are you both? Xx

Raizelrea · 01/12/2019 22:44

Hi girls, hope all is well and that the nausea is settling for you @Blossomingflower94 Honestly no clue where we are, not been tracking the slightest this month and probably not dtd enough. Think we'll try more seriously in the new yeat again, can't be bothered right now. How is things @AliSxo ?

AliSxo · 21/11/2019 09:48

Hey @Blossomingflower94 @Raizelrea as of tomorrow I'm 1DPO - TWW here we go again!! How are you @Blossomingflower94 ? Xx

Work are being amazing I'm so lucky.

Tablets are working so far!

I think we only DTD from the day of the static smile and then for 3 days. I got a flashing smile in the morning and then tested again at 12 and it was static.

OP posts:
AliSxo · 12/11/2019 12:09

Hope the sickness tablets help!! Are work being good about it?

With the clear blue Ov tests did you DTD when it was the flashing and the static smiley? Xx

Blossomingflower94 · 12/11/2019 11:13

Oh I love the clear blue! They were so much better for me when I used them. The day I got my static smiley I literally have DP the stick with the smile on it and said "let's go" 😂 and they say romance is dead!!

I'm ok, ended up on antisickness tablets after 3 days of solid vomiting, morning noon and night. Bloody nightmare!

Everything crossed for you. The clear blue are so much better just doing them in the morning! Don't forget you can test more than once a day once you have your static (or once IC start to look darker) xxx

AliSxo · 11/11/2019 19:36

Hey @Blossomingflower94 how are you feeling? Xx I'm CD5 starting the clear blue digital ovulations on Wednesday so I'll let you know how I get on as they seem a bit fiddly but I'm sure I'll get the hang xx

Blossomingflower94 · 08/11/2019 08:45

owh thank you. I'm such a grump at the moment. I'm being sick 5am--10am, I have a break between 10am and 2pm and then it starts all over again until about 10pm :( I feel so bad for DP because i'm no fun to be around.

Raizelrea · 08/11/2019 07:21

@Blossomingflower94 Feel free to moan! I have no illusions that pregnancy (or parenthood for that matter) is some perfect fairytale, don't feel like you can't share your experience! Must be exhausting to feel sick for such a long portion of the day, day after day.

Hopefully things will settle soon, you'll be out of the first trimester in a month-ish (crazy how time flies 😮) and people always say the second semester is the best. Relief is in sight!

Aww that's brilliant that your scan will be just before Christmas - what a good Christmas gift!

Blossomingflower94 · 07/11/2019 19:21

Sorry ladies. I was so hopeful for you both.

I'm ok ... Well I'm not but I am. Im really struggling with all day sickness. I have about 2 hours vomit free each day which is tough currently. I'm sorry I've been MIA. I didn't want to moan on here knowing fully well you two would love to feel like this right now.

No scans yet, got my 8 week booking appointment next week then hopefully a scan before Christmas.

Raizelrea · 07/11/2019 17:33

@AliSxo Sorry about AF, it was looking so promising! I like the CB OPKs, nice to see a positive test of some form at least 😆 I think they may be more sensitive than regular OPKs, never quite had a stronger test line than a control line but I did get static smileys. Hope they work out for you! I haven't decided if I'll use them this month yet.

@Blossomingflower94 I'm alright thanks, CD 2 or 3 I think. Not quite sure what I'm doing TTC-wise this month, I thibk we may just DTD every other day and not bother with OPKs. Have you had any scans yet? How are things going?

AliSxo · 07/11/2019 10:49

Hey, AF got me today so I'm having a 25-27 day cycle pattern, not the result I wanted but new cycle and I'm hoping this is my month!! I'm going to follow the SMEP and do more OPK tests - I've not done the clear blue ovulations so flashing smileys are all foreign to me but if it doesn't happen this month I may try them out in December xxxx

AliSxo · 06/11/2019 19:03

Hey, no AF yet, still bfn's but I'm testing in the evening as it ruins my day when bfn first thing!! Just plodding in xx how are you? Xx
