Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

@MashaPotato Good luck for this cycle 🤞🤞🤞

Can't believe where the time has gone. I'm 27+3 today 🙈🙉

How is everyone getting on? I hope your lovely bumps are all growing nicely!

How are you doing @mackjm20? Have you still been trying? We had a little break as it’s been over a year now. But I’ve been tracking my last cycle and finally got a static smiley on my opk on CD19! We DTD lots and I’m now in my 2WW again... I’m trying so hard not to get my hopes up but I’m so chuffed that I’ve even ovulated this month (or at least I hope so!) xx

So chuffed for some of us having expecting news

Just had 20wks scan today. All looks good from what can be seen, the little bugger was hiding and refusing to let us get any good pictures.

💙

@NewbieB I know how you feel wishing time away. My first baby arrived 33+2 after lots and lots of bleeding that started around 23-24 weeks. I'm really looking forward to being 24-25 weeks as I know I'm going to be worried about the same stuff happening again. I'm just hoping once I'm past that date I might relax a bit.

In terms of buying stuff I think we started at 20 weeks this time cause after last time we wanted all the big bits sorted in plenty of time. This baby is also a little boy so we're able to use all the clothes etc from our DS. We just got all the newborn bits down from the loft today so I need to sort through those and then we'll have everything ready for the baby arriving. I'll also be packing a basic overnight bag for hospital in the next few days and making sure my maternity notes are with it, just incase.

@Curiosity101 wow- 22 weeks! I know you shouldn’t wish it away but i’m looking forward to getting there.

The room looks brilliant- love it. When did you start buying baby things? I’m 14.3 weeks and still not sure whether to start (but I am saving!). I’m still too nervous to have sex again! Probably being silly but after early bleeding in first trimester, I’m so wary of stuff. X

Just checking in again. Things are progressing well here so far. 22 weeks today ☺️.

We finished the baby's room this week and have just been into the loft to get down all the newborn - 3 months stuff. It doesn't feel 2 seconds since I packed that all away 🙉🙈

This is a picture of the baby's room. I'm really proud of it cause we worked really hard and did all the painting ourselves.

Hi all. Just been reading updates. Glad everyone ok and hope everyone gets their BFP soon who are still waiting.

Update from me:

Had 12 week scan and was 12.5 weeks dated, currently now 14w, 1day. All looking good so far and was so lush to see the baba moving away. Looking forward to 20w and feeling baby move. Still feeling a bit tired but nausea eased. Due 3rd Nov x

Hey @Curiosity101 yep end of October :)

How has everyone else been?

Great news @CookieMonster3001 ☺️ have you got an official due date?

Just thought id pop on to give a quick update. Had my scan today and baby is perfectly healthy. Measuring 13w today so growing quickly! Was a little camera shy and took a couple of walks and a few half wees to get baby in the right position for all the measurements. But we got to see it suck its thumb and give a big smile!

Hey all - I've just been scrolling through seeing all the updates. So many congratulations to be had!!! Hope you're all enjoying your pregnancies so far.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 Wow wow wow, I'm super doubly excited for you. Fingers crossed everything is smooth sailing.

I'm 19+5 today - found out we're having a little boy a few weeks ago, can't remember if I posted to let you all know?!? So that'll be two little boys (and no more plans for any more babies!). Got my 20 weeks scan coming up on Monday and so far have had lots and lots of nausea that has finally stopped as of last week.

Other than that not much to report (thankfully), hoping the rest of the pregnancy is just as uneventful.

@Kayeyeem ! Look at the little bubba in that scan! 🥰

I'm not too bad. I just seem to ache so much I can barely get myself up off the sofa & just generally tired. Other than that.. no sickness yet.. 7 weeks tomorrow 🤞🏻 I think I'll be booking an early scan around 9 weeks if I can wait another 2 weeks that is 😬 x

Hi everyone just been reading through to catch up 🙂 hope everyone is doing ok!
@mackjm20 I'm sorry about the BFN 😞 it's so disheartening when it happens. My advice would be take a break, or at least take a break from tracking and worrying, make sex fun again, have lots of it and just enjoy each other as a couple. It sounds like such a cliché but I honestly believe it works. With my 1st we got pregnant after only 4 months, we'd only just got married 3 months previously so it was still all new and romantic 😂, with my 2nd it took 18 months and I was getting so frustrated and upset that I said I'm not tracking anymore, I changed my focus from babies to weightloss, and had lots of fun sex 😉 and within 4 weeks I was pregnant 🤩 this time round although I was tracking a bit I still concentrated on just having fun sex lol. Stress has a lot to answer for! I really hope your time is coming soon 🙏
@sunflowersaremyfav93 @jodielouise26 and anyone else in the 1st trimester how are you feeling?

I am now 12+4 and I had my 12 week scan yesterday 🥰 I was so anxious leading up to it as I'd convinced myself there was nothing in there and I'd read the tests wrong! Luckily baby was there with heart beating away 😍 I've also started feeling baby move! I thought I was feeling them very early on around 9 weeks on and off, with it being my 3rd. Google said it's possible but no one else agreed so I was unsure but yesterday at the scan I could definitely feel it, not sure it liked the sonographer pressing so hard on its home 😂 We're telling my Mum and our boys on Friday and then DH family on Sunday and then announcing to everyone else after that. So I will finally be able to breathe out 🙈 I'm so big already, it's getting hard to hide, especially with the sunny weather lately! Feeling ok except I'm not sleeping well so permanently exhausted 😴 Here's a pic of baby for those that want to see ☺️
Good luck to everyone here for whatever you need luck for xx

Good luck for your scans ladies! Hoping all goes well 💗 very exciting times! Xx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 symptom wise i feel a lot better. Still tired, still gag everytime i brush my teeth, gassy and get a lot of stretching pains, but the sickness has almost subsided. I still get queezy when im starving. Anxiety wise im still the same, i feel so scared that I will get to the scan on friday and they cant find a heartbeat.

Not told anyone yet, planning to tell parents and close family after weve had the scan providing all goes well. Fingers crossed!

Whens ur scan?

@mackjm20 im so sorry about BFN, i agree with the others that maybe a break will be a good idea. Big hugs, I really hope ur OK!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 im doing well thank you! Yes i got my final exam in thank god. Next module starts in 2 weeks and then im taking a year out before doing my dissertation. I turned 12 weeks on Saturday so officially in my 2nd trimester now, and feeling so much better sickness wise.

I have my scan Friday which I am so excited for and equally nervous for. Just hope lil bubba is growing nicely.

@mackjm20 I’ve got everything crossed for you there’s still some slight hope!! You just want to know either way don’t you, I think the waiting really is the worst xxx

@MashaPotato BFN but 11 dpo today and I have absolutely no symptoms at all so I’m 99% sure I’m out this month - I can feel cramps like af is coming and due weds so I’m pretty sure this cycle is over for me x

@MashaPotato yea maybe that’s what I need :) Omgosh I know honestly everywhere!

Bless you! It’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it?! Yea I’m exactly like that so up and down. Ah I really hope it happens for you soon lovely! I love when people on here get bfps as it fills me with hope :) x

@mackjm20 have you actually had AF yet or just a BFN? Xx

@mackjm20 I think it takes away all the feelings of anxiety/waiting when you know you haven’t even tried! But completely agree, it’s impossible not to think about it. I feel like everything I see at the moment are babies/pregnant women!!

To be honest I have no idea 🤦🏼‍♀️ My dates are so irregular and I haven’t been testing at all this month for ovulation. I think I’m due on in a week, and I always get horrific cramps the week before which I’ve had yesterday/today so really not getting my hopes up. I feel like deep down I’ve accepted it’s not going to happen, but I’m trying so hard to stay positive. Some days I can’t stop crying but other days I’m like ‘pull yourself together!’ 😆 xxx
