Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

Hi all just checking in 😊 sorry I've been quiet just absolutely shattered and feeling sick morning noon and night, plus had a sickness bug Friday and into the weekend 🤢 never felt so rough! Anyway I'm 8 weeks today, I'm booked in with the midwife and had my bloods done yesterday so it's all go. I've got my first scan April 20th 3 days before my eldest's 6th birthday so hoping to surprise him and his brother with the news of a new sibling the evening of his birthday 🥰
Hope everyone is doing ok?
@Potterurotter congratulations 🎉😊 I had some horrible cramps to begin with. How are you now?
Thank you @mackjm20 😊 it's going well albeit very slowly lol. How are you doing? How's your weightloss going?
@CookieMonster3001 Aw lovely news about the scan 🙂 glad all is going well.
@Curiosity101 Oh no hope you're better soon. Having a cold when pregnant is miserable as you just can't take much to make you better 😩 you have my sympathy! Lovely to see your progression pics 😊 that's a nice tidy bump. I feel like I'm showing already 😬 3rd baby problems 😂
@Arrierttyclock Yay congratulations 🎉 definitely positive! 😃 Horrible headaches were one of my first symptoms!

Okay that's good to know cos I don't know if I was imagining it or not so good but I've gotta give my head a wobble and remember I am only 10DPO. I've been feeling absolutely normal except for these banging headaches- my doctor thinks it's sometbing sinister so I'm in the eye hospital undergoing a load of tests but I'm sure it's pregnancy related! I was so so sure I wasn't pregnant because I've got no symptoms at all!

@Arrierttyclock eeek amazing that it still had a faint line mid morning and 10dpo :) all sounds really positive to me :) how are you feeling? Xx

Omg phew thank you everyone! I took a CB and the line was supppppppper faint but I am only 10 days and it was mid morning so that's to be expected!

@Arrierttyclock ah that defo looks like a positive to me :) congratulations :) xx

@Curiosity101 eeek that’s so exciting :) I feel like finding that out but be like waiting for Christmas Eve as a kid :) like all nervous and excitement rolled into one :) can’t wait to find out what you are having :) xx

@mackjm20 Thanks ☺️. I don't know anymore, I was sure it was a girl because this pregnancy has been so different. Everyone else thinks boy. 🤷😅

Guess we'll find out soon enough. 6 days now.

Glad to hear you're finding the TWW ok 😊. You definitely sound a lot more relaxed.

@Arrierttyclock Congratulations! Definitely positive.

I tested at 10 DPO and had to get 2 more tests just so it was blatantly saying ‘Pregnant’. Go go go

@NewbieB oh thank god thanks! I work in a hospital and am on my way to get more tests just in case. I just want to see it again! It's such a nerve wracking time!

@Arrierttyclock that looks definitely positive to me!! Congratulations!!!

Sorry and it's a lot pinker in real life. I'm sure it's not an evap it's only cos I threw it then got it back out that I'm worried but it was no longer than a few mins

I'm 10 DPO

Aw so lovely reading about all your updates!! I had stopped reading after I didn't get my BFP last month but just got this this morning! I had thrown it in the bin because I thought it was negative- thought i could see a faint line but nothing major. Had a shower and took it out the bin about 3 mins later and it was positive! Was worried about an evap but it was within 5 mins and it's pink so that's a good sign right?xxx

@NewbieB ah so exciting :)

@Curiosity101 thank you so much :) So exciting about the gender scan! Do you have any gut feeling on the gender :)? Oh bless you I hope you are feeling better soon bless you! Omgosh your bump pic that’s so lovely :) you have such a lovely little bump :)

@CookieMonster3001 that makes total sense I would do exactly the same :) ah I’m wishing the 12 week scan here for you and that time goes quickly :)

@sunflowersaremyfav93 how are you doing? Where are you in your cycle?

I am currently 6dpo and honestly not hating on the tww as much as I usually do! After having not ovulated last month I’m just so relieved to have a tww lol! I’ve tried to not put any pressure on this cycle and keep thinking to myself atleast I can have a drink on the 12th April if it doesn’t happen this month- every cloud lol :) x

@CookieMonster3001 Just to add that the second trimester is great though. You're not too big and you start feeling little kicks/movements. Hang on in there!

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or not, and please let me know if this upsets anyone as I can make sure I don't post anything bump related again... But I did a little comparison of my pre pregnancy/post weight loss picture and my 15 week tummy.

@CookieMonster3001 I'd say it started improving at 11 weeks but hadn't full stopped until sometime in the past week. So probably 14-15 weeks maybe. I was similar with my son but it varies massively from person to person. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

@NewbieB thanks lovely. Im just gone 8 weeks now. My first too!

@mackjm20 only told my sisters and my boss atm. Waiting till 12 week scan before telling anyone else!

@Curiosity101 thank you yes defo has helped a bit! Wow 15 weeks thats really flown by!! When did ur morning sickness start improving? I feel so miserable lol

I'm now 15 weeks, considering moving the gender scan to Friday where I'll be 15+6, but it's currently booked for next Monday.

Currently feeling well with respect to pregnancy but have had the worst cold for the past 8 days 😭. I feel like I've been chronically ill for 10 weeks or so now (first morning sickness/first trimester horribleness and now this cold as soon as the sickness and exhaustion started to lift).

Hope you're all well?

@CookieMonster3001 Great news! Hopefully the scan helped you relax a bit 😊 fingers crossed for a nice boring 7 months now! 😄 Hope the morning sickness eases soon for you. I find first trimesters utterly miserable so you have my sympathy.

@mackjm20 Sorry to hear you've had a rough time of things. I can imagine it'd be pretty stressful and frustrating given what you've described. I have everything crossed for you for this cycle, but also in general as I hope things even out soon and your DH finds a new job. 🤞🤞

@mackjm20 yes I hope so. Yes, my first. 🤗

@NewbieB that’s amazing :) hopefully it will fly by :) is this your first? Xx

@mackjm20
I haven’t seen midwives for booking yet but i’m 7 1/2 weeks now so I guess about 4 weeks. Hoping all ok 🤞🏼. Thanks so much x

@NewbieB oh bless you I hope you are feeling much better soon. I bet :) how long until your 12 week scan :) hope you manage to relax a little once you have that :) thanks so much :) wishing you a really happy healthy journey to get little one here xx

@mackjm20 thanks for your comments and feeling ok thanks- nausea on and off, sore boobs and other things but ok. Looking forward to 12 week scan and trying to remain positive eventhough i’m a worrier.
Good luck with your TWW and wishing you all the best with getting a positive.

@CookieMonster3001 wow- that pic is amazing. How many weeks are you now?
