Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

@Foundmyfeet Hiya 😊 I'm good thanks, how are you? Sorry I've been a bit MIA, I was struggling all week with my symptoms making me feel mildly hungover and then yesterday and today I've had loss of symptoms. I've not felt as sick, and my boobs haven't been as sore, but I have been really tired so I'm hoping that everything is still OK.

Aww so sweet about reuniting with your OH. Definitely still in with a chance this month too 🤞

Yes we've had snow, we live in Sussex so we climbed the Ditchling beacon with our pup and had a lovely walk, and now cooking a roast (I've been utterly starving all day, no amount of food can satisfy my hunger 😂)

@Mariex1989 when's AF due for you love?

@Mariex1989 no I didn't get to surprise him. But I think I OV'd on Friday as my CM was in abundance (sorry TMI) so we've been bd-ing all weekend! Tbh, I just missed him so much that I just wanted to be close to him whether it results in a baby or not.

Lol! Yes slap some Aveeno on this nips love! Better yet, your OH can do it for you...I'm sure he'd like that!

@ELBlack you ok lovely?

Is it snowing where you ladies are? We've got flurries of light snow. Hope that will be it as I hate being out in the snow.

@Foundmyfeet I always always always get sore boobs for pms too, but now they feel more chafed than sore and on my nipples not breasts (TMI 😂). I’m 99.9% sure it’s not a symptom just very odd. Maybe I should just get some aveeno on them 😂.

How’re you feeling? Did you surprise your OH in his hotel?

@ELBlack - Lol! Only 34 weeks to go love! Lol! I glowed for about 6 weeks between weeks 13 and 19. That was it! I even got chatted up by some random guy because I was glowing so much. Then it disappeared ☹️ And so did all the chat up lines!

@Mariex1989 unfortunately for me I always have sore itchy boobs as a normal PMS symptom. I never used to though. I knew I was pregnant with DD before I took a test because my boobs were so tender. It was always an indicator for me. Might be for you?!

@ELBlack that made me giggle 😂 my friend said the same as she has bad break outs and felt awful so was like “I thought I was meant to glow” 😂😂. Gotta remember the hideous symptoms are a good thing!!!

@Foundmyfeet yessss give it a watch, it’s good!
I’m not feeling bad, this bug has gone thank god! I said I wouldn’t symptom spot (this probs isn’t even a symptom) but the other night my nipples felt super tingly/sore/bumpy/dry which I’ve never ever experienced, so thought probably just something or nothing but a few days later and it’s still there :/ very odd but trying not to think too much into it!

@Foundmyfeet that sounds horrendous about your boobs 😩 luckily mine feel more bruised rather than sore. But they're hell tbh.

I'm okay thanks, I'm exhausted, beyond bloated to the point where I've got really bad water retention and everything about me looks bigger, not just my stomach 😂 my nausea is hitting pretty hard but I'm not being sick nor do I feel like I will be, oh and I'm boiling as soon as I go to bed even though I sleep with all windows open I'm waking up sweating 😂 I'm thirsty all the time, my skin is dull, my eyes are black. Where's this pregnancy glow everyone speaks of? 😂😂 How are you?

@Mariex1989 oh yes, I remember seeing the trailer now. I'm going to start watching it this weekend. How are you feeling? Better I hope?

@ELBlack how are you doing?

@Foundmyfeet it’s with Viola Davies, it’s a good watch. I started it years ago but did t realise there were more seasons, there’s like 5 now. Feeling better today thank god, but haven’t been outside since the weekend 🙈 so think I’m going to have to go on a lunchtime walk.

Bless you, so frustrating when all you want to do is meet and comfort your friend 😞 like you say maybe if you just get equipped with a load of PPE and try make something work 🤞🏻

Thank you both for your kind wishes about my friend. She's been in a terrible state today. I've arranged to meet her for a long walk on the weekend so we can get some stuff sorted. Looks like surgery will take place at the end of Feb and she has to self-isolate after the op which makes it almost impossible to take care of her in a hands on way. However, I'm going to get some PPE or an astronaut/divers suit if I have to if she needs me to help her get to the bathroom etc. There's always ways around things!

DH went away yesterday and will be back Friday. OV is due on Thursday FFS!! Unless I OV late this month. Oh well. Not counting my chickens. I did think about taking a surprise trip to the hotel where he is staying on Thursday night but there's no one to look after DD..even from a distance!

@Mariex1989 - you never know! Your cycle has been all over the show recently... :) But feel better soon...or don't if you're pregnant! Lol! How to get away with Murder...is that with Christina Applegate?

@ELBlack - I thought the same about a Christmas baby! Lol! Ah yes, the sore boobs. They were a constant source of discomfort throughout my pregnancy. My nipples used to hurt like nothing I'd ever known! I was travelling on the M4 when I was around 6 months pregnant and had to pull into a service station so I could put the hand dryer on my boobs!! God must've been with me that day because the toilets were empty so I whipped them out and gave them a good rub under the dryer! Lol!

@Mariex1989 hope you feel better soon! The TWW is definitely draining so you're in a good mindset!

So sorry to hear about your friend @Foundmyfeet hope you're okay x
I'm fine thanks, I've got to the point where I can't do any running or jumping during exercise without having to hold my boobs because even in my most high impact sports bras the pain is too much 😢😂 didnt feel sick today which is great, just very very hungry! Can't wait for the scan next weekend.

Oh no! Sorry to hear your DH is away. Looks like you're heading for a Christmas baby 😉

@Foundmyfeet oh my god I’m so sorry that’s awful 😞 hope your friend is doing well and fingers crossed they caught it early 🤞🏻🤞🏻. That’s so sad. Cancer is the fucking devil. I’ve had too people close to me go through it, my thoughts are with you all.

Nah it won’t be a symptom, it’s be far too early think I’ve just somehow caught some bug (god knows how since I literally don’t go hardly anywhere!)

I started watching how to get away with murder again, forgot how good it is! Although I did log in to work occasionally to check I wasn’t missing much which interrupted slightly 😂.

That sucks about your OH being away as well 😩 is he away long? Maybe get some in before he goes to try cover it

Hey ladies, sorry I've been awol for a few days. A dear friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer so I've been doing some hand holding and lots of research. Plus it was quarter end last week (job in finance) so was crazy busy.

How's everything going @ELBlack? Not long now before the scan date! You must be so excited. And I smashed out Bridgerton in about 3 days! It's was f*ing fab!

@Mariex1989 - oooh...symptoms!! Fingers crossed!! What did you binge watch on Netflix?

I've been told to watch Lupin next. Supposed to be very good but it's dubbed so if the voice and lips aren't in sync then I will spend the whole film just watching the lips and not taking in what's going on!

I'm out of the running this month already ladies. DH is working away this week and it's my ovulation week.

@ELBlack definitely! I’ve been really sick and nauseous yesterday and today so I’ve taken today off work. Netflix binge and sofa day for me!
I remember you saying that actually. Time will tell! Glad I’m not trying to symptom spot and google every little thing this month to be disappointed. In the mentality of if it happens it happen, if it doesn’t it doesn’t! x

How’s everyone else getting on? Any testing happening soon? x

@Mariex1989 yes, I can't wait. I feel like it will go really quickly.

Being laid back can be a really good thing. I was honestly convinced I wouldn't have got pregnant the cycle I did because I worked out we only had sex once during my fertile window, so I really wouldn't worry about it! And either way, if you're feeling more relaxed at least you won't have a torturous tww! X

@ELBlack hopefully the next 2 weeks will fly by for you! Bet you’re so excited ☺️.

I guess I’m in my tww now and feel absolutely nothing 😂😂. If I have a “normal” cycle then I should be due on around 12th/13th. Not hopeful this month as I’ve been laid back about it so let’s see. No excessive testing famous last words 😂

Thanks @Mariex1989 you're right! I think I was so shocked when I was taken to hospital and then waiting for my scan that now its all over I'm actually thinking about it and just looking for things to worry about when there's hopefully no need. Our scan is 2 weeks today, I absolutely cannot wait. I'm just really hoping to see progression and a healthy heartbeat x

@ELBlack I’m sure they’d have mentioned something if they were concerned, 100% bless you! It is a stressful time but be positive ☺️ When is your next scan?

Thanks @Foundmyfeet you're right, if it was something to worry about I think they would have asked me to come back in a couple of weeks maybe. They seemed very positive about everything, I think I was in such shock with being in A&E and then EPU it's only really sinking in and my brain is going for a wonder! I'm just worried if it's bleeding, it won't be there to support the pregnancy before the placenta kicks in, thus ending in a MC 😭 I'm likely worrying over nothing. Feeling OK otherwise thanks, a bit nauseous but not feeling physically sick x

@Alist12 is that a sign of AF for you? Maybe once you've had your first cycle you'll feel more reassured with trying again? Xx

@ELBlack I'm feeling much better now just waiting for AF to arrive although we tried again a few days after the bleeding had stopped and for the past few days my boobs have been ever so sore even worse then last month it's awful

@ELBlack glad everything is where it should be! I looked it up and it means you have an ovarian cyst which is bleeding which may explain the pain you were having. Having an ovarian cyst in early pregnancy is very common and normal. I had one at my 12 week scan. I was told we have these cysts in the first trimester to sustain the pregnancy whilst the placenta is still developing. As far as I know, the haemorrhage part does not cause an MC. If they were at all concerned, they would've said so. It's likely yours is a small one. So put your feet up and relax! Other than your little scare, how are you feeling? X

@Foundmyfeet it's sooo good! Very racy! Would definitely recommend it.

Haha luckily my mood wasn't directed at him so he wasn't too bothered 😂

Thanks so much @Alist12 how are you feeling now? X

Also, just wondering if anyone has been though the same thing, but was referred to EPU with suspected ectopic this week. Everything was fine and in the right place. Measuring 5+3 which was exactly what I thought on the day I was scanned, however, my discharge notes say 'corpus leutum: haemorrhagic' I'm now away we all have corpus leutums in early pregnancy, but I'm wondering if the 'haemorrhagic' but means it's likely to haemorrhage and cause a MC? I'm assuming if this was something to worry about they would have warned me? Maybe I'm overreacting, but just feel a bit anxious and drained from the worries this week

@ELBlack congratulations sweetie! Praying for a healthy and happy pregnancy.
It's been just over 3 weeks since the start of my miscarriage and I've just had another delivery for my ovulation ready to start next cycle haha

@ELBlack - oooh Bridgerton! My friend told me it's so good and very racy! I've been meaning to begin watching it.

Love that the moods have kicked in! I bet your DH doesn't! :)

@Foundmyfeet I'm already freaking out about giving birth 😂 would love DH to do it for me lol!!

I'm good thanks, I woke up in a rancid mood. Like so angry and moody for no reason that I've decided to take the afternoon off work, do a long walk with the pup and then drink endless cups of tea and watch Bridgerton lol! How are you?

@Mariex1989 - I'm sorry...I feel bad for winding you guys up! Weight loss is going ok. The scales have stuck for the last week but think it's my PMS. Was really good yesterday and somehow put on 1lb this morning! I just don't get it. But I'm going to plod on. How are you doing?

@ELBlack - Yeah, wouldn't that be great if he could have the baby! Lol! How are you doing?
