@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@hoola23 yes I've heard that and deffo true of all my friends except me as I barely had any with DD which is why I was convinced I was having a boy lol! Xxx

@hoola23 @newtolineofduty I was HORRIFIC with DD. I was ill from about week 6 until week 16 or 17. Felt like I was on a rough sea every morning before work. 🤢🤢🤢

@newtolineofduty apparently you get more sickly with girls but could just be an old wives tale! Bet you're counting down the days till that scan!

@hoola23 I'm only feeling twinges on one side so I really don't think it is-I'm assuming much hcg levels are just much higher this time maybe! Or maybe it's a boy! Who knows!

@CShandy01 yes so they like to see you first between 6 and 8 weeks! So I've booked that first appt today and I have booked an early scan but it's 3.5 weeks away! Too far! 😭 x

@newtolineofduty I'm so out of it these days - do you have to call the doctors and make an appointment with the midwife quite early on? I remember I saw the midwife around 5-6 weeks because I had to actually register with the surgery first 😂

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 21:11

@newtolineofduty it would be amazing!! Have you booked a scan yet? X

@hoola23 petrified! 😂 but we'd be ok and I'd actually feel very lucky x my main fear would be just the risk it poses for the pregnancy and the babies 😢 x

@newtolineofduty I remember!! That's it you've jinxed it!!! 🤣🤣🤣 sorry you feel a bit shit, try and eat little and often as it's supposed to take the edge off. Omg imagine if it is twins!! How would you feel? Xx

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 20:49

@Aims1991 same! Mainly as im addicted to POAS, when it gets close I'm prob doing it 5 times a day on my cheapies 🤣🤣

@hoola23 that's what DP is worried about! 😂😂😂 x and remember me saying I was concerned that maybe I'd hyper ovulated given the amount of EWCM and the twinges both sides! X

Yes the nausea is so much worse than even when it peaked with DD! x

Aims1991 · 11/10/2021 20:42

@hoola23 I use easy @ home then the CB ones for when I get a peak just to double check🤣

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 20:38

@MrsRosaline I think you might just get your period as normal this month and may not get an lh surge at all. The sticks are SO expensive aren't they! I get the femometer ones, 50 for £9.99 on Amazon and then use my expensive ones for the right time

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 20:35

@newtolineofduty are you already feeling nauseous!!?? You're not even 5 weeks yet!! Uh oh, do we think there could be two sets of hands and toes?!!!?

MrsRosaline · 11/10/2021 20:14

I didn't know that about the three weeks. It has been exactly 3 weeks since the bleeding first started, so maybe I'll ovulate tomorrow! It's sooo frustrating because I've been testing everyday since CD10 and I'm watching the sticks going to waste and thinking 'Oh God I'm going to have to buy more' 👀🤪

Aims1991 · 11/10/2021 20:05

@newtolineofduty hopefully you can eat better soon. When did you tell DH?

I'm ok thank you @Aims1991 x evenings are much better than the day times at the moment, I think because I feel better once I've eaten. Trouble is I'm hungry but don't fancy anything in particular! X

@newtolineofduty oh good to know thank you. How you feeling

newtolineofduty · 11/10/2021 19:57

@hoola23 ahh that's good news that you can start afresh! It's so shit when you KNOW 100% it's coming but it's not coming!

@Aims1991 make sure you stop taking the EPO once ovulation is over as it should not be taken in pregnancy.

CShandy01 · 11/10/2021 19:43

@hoola23 no you haven't got rid of me just yet 😂😂 still here!!

You can have a period still without ovulating, it's called anovulation. It's quite common in some cycles and most women wouldn't notice because they still bleed. The only way to tell is by not getting an LH surge but still bleeding at the end of the month.

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 19:38

@MrsRosaline oh joy! 🤣 bloody horrible feeling! YES! We will defo do this cycle together! You'll have to ovulate at some point surely!? I hope it happens soon, that would really frustrate me too, esp when you just want to get on with it. Apparently after a chemical it can take up to 3 weeks to ovulate again. Can you have a period if you haven't ovulated? X

MrsRosaline · 11/10/2021 19:25

@hoola23 I have read that the first period after a miscarriage can be more painful than usual. We can both do this next cycle together. My period is due next week - probably towards the end given that I haven't ovulated yet!

hoola23 · 11/10/2021 19:23

@CShandy01 I thought we'd left you in the other thread by yourself 🤣🤣 bet that was so lovely to see all your family!! Glad you had a lovely but hectic christening for little one!

AF has FINALLY arrived and bloody painful too. I rarely get period pain and when I do it's barely noticeable. Two days late but that's prob due to last months issue maybe. I feel good it's arrived, I feel a bit more normal now I know I've had a proper cycle. Fertile week begins in 5 days!

CShandy01 · 11/10/2021 18:50

@MrsRosaline don't worry! I know the feeling 😂😂 we've currently got a bit of a picnic going on because she loves eating bits of everything!
