@Skl2021 No way. That must’ve been such a worry. Who said pregnancy was enjoyable. It’s full of anxiety and worry. I don’t think you ever relax. Has it completely stopped? When is your 12 week scan? Xx

Nikkic2123 · 16/10/2021 19:23

Oh yes, of course @Lozzie118
I’ve just made a promise to myself that I’m not opk testing this cycle, I’m going to listen to my body, follow my cm, BD on cycle days 11, 13, 15,16 & 18
I feel good knowing I’ve a plan in place and not testing.
I’ve been known to ovulate cd14-16 so that covers those days xx

@Nikkic2123

Hi Girls Unfortunately, I won't be joining you this cycle. AF has arrived 😭
Can we please be cycle buddies I'm not on CD2 x
Skl2021 · 16/10/2021 16:42

@Nats7504 aww bet it was lovely 💙 yes that's what I was worried about it staining everything 🤣🙈 so yesterday I started bleeding again 😩 this time it was quite a bit and bright red. Made me panic. I don't know what it is with this pregnancy but it's putting me through it 🤦 I rang the hospital and they said they would see me if it got worse or continued. Thankfully it turned pink throughout the day and hardly there again now. I just don't know what's going on 🤔 so worrying just waiting for it to happen again xx

Hi Girls
Unfortunately, I won't be joining you this cycle. AF has arrived 😭

Nats7504 · 15/10/2021 12:29

@Skl2021 It was pretty cute, didn’t think they’d be up for it given their ages but they surprised me! 😊 They are both happy with another lad joining the family, although I’m sure once he arrives they will change their minds 🤣
We had the powder, it did go everywhere but hasn’t stained from what I can tell. I just brushed it off their clothes and made them wear old trainers xx

Skl2021 · 15/10/2021 11:54

@Nats7504 aww so happy it went well for you 💙 awww he wanted it a little sister how cute 💞 they will love a little brother all the rough and tumble when they get bigger! I'm not feeling to bad I have my moments when things get on top of me! But trying to stay positive 🤞 did your ball have confetti or powder? The powder seems to stain and go everywhere but don't know if confetti would have the same effect 🤣🙈 xx

Nats7504 · 15/10/2021 10:25

@Skl2021 they are expensive but the boys loved it 💙 it’s all out in the open now. One was a little disappointed as they wanted a sister but he’s got over it now.

How are you feeling? I love our scan, plus it broke the gap between the 12 and 20 week scan.

We have to move as it’s only 3 bedroom and there’s no way the boys will share at 12 and 14 when baby arrives. Plus, we want to buy somewhere together xx

Skl2021 · 13/10/2021 15:43

@Nats7504 so weird isn't it how it seems to follow a pattern my partner's side is mainly boys too 🙈 so pricey for a little ball isn't it I best start getting organized 👌 need to decide if we're even having a private scan 🙈 aww that sounds lovely! I would love a new build. We are going to have to move when baby arrives but think we will wait a while longer yet. Nothing decent on the market either atm. I hope your ready for the stress of moving and baby at the same time u must be crazy 🤣🙊 xx

Nikkic2123 · 12/10/2021 14:45

I had endo trying for my first, took 18 months, ended in mc
It’s then I had endo removed then it took 6 months

For my second it was first month x

Nats7504 · 12/10/2021 09:58

@Nikkic2123 it’s tough going but we did it for a few months and made sure we DTD in the run up to and after ovulation. Did your other children take long to conceive?

Nats7504 · 12/10/2021 09:56

@Skl2021 I think that’s completely natural, I would’ve liked to have a girl too to mix up the dynamics in the house a bit. But destined to be a boy mum 💙 my sister has 2 boys too 🤣

Were going to do it on Thursday, it doesn’t arrive until Wednesday and they’re at their dads that night. It’s soo hard keeping it quiet and just saying baby and not he. The ones we ordered have the pink and blue confetti in the pack so could order in advance but we weren’t that organised 🙈

Get yourself a few key pieces. I got leggings, a few long sleeved tops, jumpers and cardigans. Joys of being pregnant in winter! 🥶

We’ve not even thought about names 🙈 We've just sold my house and reserved a new build house together which isn’t going to be ready until Feb/March (not ideal with the baby being due the month we potentially move!!) Hence why this little fella is being neglected 🤣 XX

Skl2021 · 11/10/2021 20:41

@Nats7504 yes outrun by boys here 🙈 deep down I would love a little girl just to experience both sides but if it's a boy then I'm meant to be a boy mum 😂🙌 yes IV been looking for them and seen how dear they are! When are you doing it? And yes I might have to start buying some I'm sure I didn't need maternity clothes this early with my other two 🤣🤦 have u started thinking of names? Xx

OP posts:
Nikkic2123 · 11/10/2021 19:50

@Nats7504 I tried the SMEP back in Feb. Might give it ago if I’m not pregnant this cycle x
It’s defo tough going but we managed it.
I find now tho that we haven’t DTD much after ovulation, must keep replenishing the swimmers

Nats7504 · 11/10/2021 18:46

@Skl2021 Ahh, so you’re in the same boat as me. I’m heading for a 6 a side footy team 🤣 I thought I’d be disappointed with it being another boy but I was fine and completely fell in love with the little man already.
Yeah, mine are too.. hence the football reveal 🤦🏻‍♀️ I ordered some from Amazon, they were £30 each so not cheap! ££££
I have a little bump which is easily concealed but my trousers were hurting. Buy some and get the wear out of it!

@Nikkic2123 We tried SMEP plan, everyday during FW and the month we got pregnant we did a few days after. It’s tough going as I could not be bothered and OH felt the same. You’ll get a rest once you get your BFP 🙈 xx

Nikkic2123 · 11/10/2021 16:22

@Nats7504
I’m using opks every month. I managed to hit the relevant days except Ovulation day. This month.
I’d love To be able to join in the pregnancy talk. 🤞
I’ve a boy 7 & girl 5 so am very blessed already x

Skl2021 · 11/10/2021 15:08

@Nats7504 omg that's so weird u just said that I was thinking the exact same reveal 🤯🤯 no I have 2 boys so desperate for a girl but if it's a boy it will be loved the same! They are football mad! Have u managed to find one? And no maternity stuff left and I can feel my pants getting tighter so will need pants soon 🤦🙈 xx

OP posts:
Nats7504 · 11/10/2021 15:01

@Skl2021 I’m starting to get a little bump now and can feel him move around. My stomach muscles must be shot 🤣 The boys are made up I’m pregnant but don’t know what we’re having yet as they want to find out with a gender reveal football that they kick 🙄 Do you have one of each?

Getting a bump makes it all the more real. Do you have any maternity stuff from last time? I went out and got some bits from H&M at the weekend.

@Nikkic2123 I’m sorry to hear you’re having a hard time at the moment. TTC is such an emotional period and not the exciting time that it’s made out to be. I felt so low at time.

We took 9 cycles to conceive this one and I honestly thought it would never happen for us. Are you using ovulation sticks? I only ask as I ovulate earlier than I thought so pretty much missed the peak! Xx

Skl2021 · 11/10/2021 14:32

@Nikkic2123 oh I was the opposite started testing stupidly early every time even though there was no chance it would be positive 🤦🙊🙈 got my 🤞🤞 for you not long to wait now xx

[quote Skl2021]@Nikkic2123 sorry you have had such a hard time! We al go through times when we are low but you will get there. Keep the faith 🤞🤞 hopefully you get them lovely pink lines very soon! 💕 Good luck with testing 🙌 xx[/quote]
Thanks, I’m not a pre period tester. I’ll most likely wait until my AF doesn’t turn up x

Skl2021 · 11/10/2021 14:12

Hi girls, I'm 7dpo and feeling a bit glum.

That's great you are both so far in now. This is my 4/5th cycle after my mc in June. Still early days but feels like a life time. We feel after 4/5 months trying and mc at 9 weeks. Almost a year from first trying 😭

I'm holding out for those two beautiful pink lines in a week or so. AF is due this Saturday or Sunday.

Skl2021 · 11/10/2021 13:35

@Nats7504 yes I'm sure he will 💙 are you boys excited? Yes I need a list 🤣 just don't want to start too early 🙈 but I am desperate to start buying 🤦 oooo have u got a noticeable bump? I hope I don't get a bump too early I'm clumsy and unbalanced already 🤣 nearly went flying at work the other day with plates in my hands and that without a bump 😂🙈 have u started thinking names? Xx

OP posts:
Nats7504 · 11/10/2021 13:10

@Skl2021 Aww bless them. They fear the unknown. I’m sure he will come round once he understands what it means. He will be a big brother instead of the little one 💙

Wow, 11 weeks already. It’s scary how quickly it flies by doesn’t it. You’ll have to make a list and start getting organised!

We’ve told most people now as I’m starting to show and nearly half way through. We bought a few outfits after the scan but apart from that, nothing! We have to buy everything too 🙈 xx
