Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC, and whilst I promised myself I would stay calm and collected, truthfully I am the total opposite. I can't switch off from thinking about it.

It's taken my OH a while to come to terms with trying to start a family. Whilst we have been together since we were 15 (now 27) he always wanted to earn more, to have a bigger house etc but he's come to finally realise that it's never the right time and we just have to go for it. I was so so pleased he was finally ready but promised we would keep it relaxed and calm. If it happens, it happens,

But working from home and not having anything else to do, I just can't switch off from my mind wondering 🙈 wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat who just wants to chat really?

I'm due AF on Christmas Day so it would be such a Christmas miracle if she doesn't come.

@Mariex1989 thank you 😊 yeah, that's the thing with it. In normal circumstances 18 months is loads of time, but so many people postponed its going to be a very busy year next year and I think late summer and autumn this year! Good luck with it all x

@Alist12 I’m so sorry to hear your sad news. Xx

Mariex1989 · 07/01/2021 10:50

^must be awful

Mariex1989 · 07/01/2021 10:49

@ELBlack oh my days! I’ve felt really bad for all the brides that were affected by all this. Especially with all the planning and stress, but be awful!
But massive congratulations on your wedding! I’m sure it was beautiful even with the minimum numbers.
Mine isn’t until July next year, but I panic if things aren’t organised and with lockdown I’ve not had anything else to do. Glad I started though as I’ve had some parts come back with unavailability due to all the postponed weddings. Was supposed to have my first dress appointment early feb but that’s been postponed, annoying as that’s the bit I was looking forward to the most. But never mind still plenty time 😊

@Foundmyfeet well done on your 5lb loss! Totally up to you re weight loss. A Dr will always tell you to lose weight if you're overweight and trying to get pregnant (not to say you are overweight BTW!!!) but I think only you know. As long as you make healthy choices, drink lots of water and exercise regularly I think that's a healthy environment to grow your precious bundle!!

@Mariex1989 omg I do not envy you. I remember how stressful wedmin was, and our wedding got cancelled last year because of covid, so we replanned it for this year, but then decided we just wanted to do it, which meant we had 4 weeks to plan the whole thing again, get my dress altered, find a new venue etc because we had to change venues from last year as the business shut down, and our new venue was way too big for the 30 people restrictions etc. Safe to say the weight absolutely dropped off me 😂 when's your wedding if you don't mind me asking?

Mariex1989 · 07/01/2021 09:46

@Foundmyfeet hahaha that made me laugh. Hope you managed some successful BDing regardless of the DD distraction.

Wow that’s great, well done!!! I think I found your lost 5lbs on my ass 🙈😂. You need to share your secrets to this!

I’ve been having this debate with myself the last couple days as well. With lockdown and having nothing better to do, I’ve been cracking on with wedding planning and thinking maybe it’s best to hold off until after and be at a weight I’m happy with (if said wedding diet goes to plan). But then I do a 360 and think no. Not putting pressure on myself this month though as the planning pressure is enough 🙈 xx

You're welcome @Alist12

So ladies, I'm on day 12 of my cycle. Last month I ovulated on day 13. I've thrown the OPK's out the window this month but I'm defo ovulating or about to anyway. Was going to do some BD-ing tonight but DD has just announced she's got a pile of schoolwork to get through and reckons she'll be up until midnight! So it'll either be good old "wham-bam-thank you ma'am" or "quiet, the kids are still awake, distracted parent nookie" or "6am yucky morning breath nookie." Lol!
I've started my healthy eating and have lost 5lbs already. I've got another 2.5 stones to go and I'm wondering if I should hold off TTC until the weight is off? Perhaps My MC's were because of my weight? I want to give my next BFP a good chance.

Alist12 · 06/01/2021 13:09

@Foundmyfeet thankyou will bring it up to my doctor.
Thankyou all

Foundmyfeet · 05/01/2021 23:23

@Alist12 cocodamol I believe are non-inflammatory. You can get 8mg of cocodamol over the counter. Any higher strength and it's on prescription only. I believe tramadol and codydramol are painkillers that are not anti-inflammatory also but think they are prescription only.
Sending hugs x

Ebhc · 05/01/2021 22:31

Oh @Alist12 I'm so sorry. Xxxx

Alist12 · 05/01/2021 21:50

@Foundmyfeet @ELBlack I'm resting up just in so much agony, I've took paracetamol like the nurses told and they are doing nothing. Do any of you ladies know any other pain relief I can take that isn't a inflammatory one?

ELBlack · 05/01/2021 19:54

@Alist12 I'm so so sorry. Sending you so much love xxx

Foundmyfeet · 05/01/2021 18:59

@Alist12 I'm so sorry to read this. It's devastating, I know. Just take things easy for a little while you are processing this very sad news. Be kind to yourself. ❤️ We are all here to support you.

Alist12 · 05/01/2021 18:20

@Mariex1989 I am trying my best, my fiancé is trying his best to keep me same as well as himself

Mariex1989 · 05/01/2021 17:33

@Alist12 oh no 😢 I’m so sorry to see this! I hope you’re as okay as you can be and taking care of yourself 💕

Alist12 · 05/01/2021 16:58

@Mariex1989 @ELBlack they confirmed I'm miscarrying which is a big shame

Mariex1989 · 05/01/2021 15:44

ELBlack · 05/01/2021 13:06

Alist12 · 05/01/2021 11:34

@Mariex1989 got my scan in two hours but not looking good bleeding a lot more then usual and I had a blood clot come out.
Been having a lottt of pain worse then my usual period cramps it's horrible.
Guess only time will tell hey

Mariex1989 · 04/01/2021 21:47

@Alist12 good luck tomorrow. Let us know how you get on x

Alist12 · 04/01/2021 21:09

@Foundmyfeet got my scan tomorrow but mainly to check if everything is okay. Started light bleeding today, not getting anything when I wipe but when I take my tampon out there's a small bit of pink blood with loads of clear watery/stretchy cm ( tmi ) hope everything goes well tomorrow don't want to be disappointed

Foundmyfeet · 04/01/2021 18:52

@Alist12 hoping all goes well at the scan tomorrow. The fact that you feel nauseous is a good sign though!

Alist12 · 04/01/2021 11:59

Been having bad cramps again this morning along with lots of nausea and veiny sore boobs🤮 did a test this morning to make sure and the line is still very faint I will upload the picture. Don't think it can be seen over camera but it's definitely there.
The doctors have put me down at 4/5 weeks and I have a scan tomorrow but I've got a feeling that I won't be seeing my little dot on the screen tomorrow
