Faith, trust & baby dust! ✨💕✨ TTC 12 months + 🤞🏼 On this rollercoaster together with a little love, support and giggles to get us by! 💕

@Fra1991 Yes, it’s defo nice to have symptoms than nothing at all. Reassuring in a way.

Sorry to hear about AF being especially tough, that sucks! There seems to be staff shortages everywhere at the minute - hope they managed to sort it for you.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Amy259 I rang my GP Thursday and they prescribed some anti sickness tablets and told me to seek help if they didn’t help. They just wasn’t staying down so that’s why I got admitted - it was just relentless and wasn’t keeping any food or drink down. They swapped my tablets at hospital and it’s much better. Wouldn’t say a miracle but managing eat and drink more now.

I’m feeling pretty good worry wise. Just trying to get to one milestone at a time - next one is first midwife appointment on Monday and they’ll then book my 12 week appointment.

@LA9610 thank you ❤️

AF is here so going to take a break from the forum as I feel low at the minute. Good luck everyone and I'll see you soon x

@HopefulGlow- no we won't be able to take him out for a while yet! He is getting jabbed today and then another lot either in 2 weeks or 4 weeks from now (can't remember what the vet said when we got him!) and then I think you need to wait a full week after the last jab to get full protection.

Not going to lie it's been pretty tough so far, especially on my own. Can't wait for DH to get home so he can take over whilst I am working. Struggling to get a minute to myself, definitely good practice for having a baby!

@AZ1992X happy to hear you are on the mend and all is well with the pregnancy!

@Fra1991 - sorry you had a bad time with AF - I luckily escaped cramps that time which is rare! Weird how sometimes it can be so bad and other times there's nothing. Good luck in the FW!

@AZ1992X sorry to hear you’ve been so poorly, I hope you continue to feel lots better. Have they put you on anti-sickness meds or anything?

Equally deeeelighted to hear all is going well otherwise! So, so happy to read your update. How are you feeling worry-wise?

@Fra1991 sorry to read you’ve had a rotten start to the week, and that af was tough last time. Got my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for your fertile week this week.

Hope everyone else is doing good xx

Hi @AZ1992X it’s been quiet on here! Is it weirdly satisfying to have the sickness? Feel like it’s sort of reassuring! Glad you got a scan and everything looks good!

I had a bad af the the other weekend, bad cramps. Now I’m in fertile week. Felt annoyed when I phoned the doctors this morning to chase up my medical history for the private appointment. Just got told staff shortages. So bad start to the week for me! Hope everyone is good xx

Hello ladies!

How is everyone doing? ❤️

Just a little update from me… I’ve been really poorly this past week and ended up being admitted to hospital Friday overnight to get fluids into me due to dehydration. Feeling much better now.

They sent me for an early scan this evening and all is well so far - measuring 7 weeks 4 days with a heartbeat. Still a long way to go but all good so far x

Sorry meant to add, no plans this weekend. I'll just be busy trying to keep Ollie amused 🙏 are you up to anything nice?

@HopefulGlow thanks but I'm already out 😑😭

He is doing okay, had a tough evening which shocked me as he has been improving every day but he was so hyper and bitey and just wouldn't sit still for even a second. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day, so hard doing all this alone! Doesn't fill me with much confidence for a baby 🙈😂😂

@AZ1992X that's a good sign that it's stopped. Still have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@LA9610 I'm really similar- in my 20s they were 29 days. I knew because if last month it started on a Wednesday, it'd always start on the Thursday. Now they're shorter, a bit more erratic, I don't bleed as long though. That's probably not the silver lining I think it is!

NHS appointment for referral came this morning! I hadn't heard didly-squat after the chlamydia test so guess that was fine, as I knew it would be! Appointment is on 14/03/22 so not too long to wait. Happy we're getting somewhere.

@Lauralozzle - they are, and I think having a shorter cycle means that there is less waiting but then sometimes I wonder is that maybe why I am not having any luck? I'm sure in my twenties my cycle used to be 28-31 days long and now it's only around 25-26 days. Actually not long after sending that message last night I got the normal signs that AF will arrive in the next day or two and it will be here later today so that's me out until the end of March for a chance of seeing a BFP :(

@AZ1992X - that's a really good sign, relieved to here that the bleeding hasn't progressed.

I'm going over to my sisters this evening as it's my nephews birthday but other than that it will be a quiet weekend looking after Ollie! Can't really leave him on his own for any length of time yet.

What is everyone else up to?

@AZ1992X glad to hear it's stopped now. I mean this in the best way possible, I'm glad you're having nausea, it means your little bean is settling in there quite well xx

Morning ladies,

Thank you all, it means a lot. ❤️
Nothing more so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞.

I’m not feeling well at all this morning and got really bad nausea/been sick so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.

Hope everyone’s doing ok and got some exciting plans for the weekend.

X

@Fra1991 thanks, I’m planning on a nice hot bath tonight which will be a nice treat. Might have gone a little chocolate mad when it started but 🤷‍♀️

It’s a nice one this month, not much cramping, which is always nice. Some months are like this, some are quite painful but it’s been ok so far. I’m sorry AF came for you too!

@AZ1992X oh no - fingers and everything crossed for you.

@LA9610 clockwork periods are a blessing and a curse. I’m the same, likely to be early rather than late. Have lots of fun with Ollie! 😊

@AZ1992X - got my fingers crossed that all is okay, sending love I know you must be worrying a lot :(

@Lauralozzle - sorry to hear AF has arrived again. I am the same, my cycle is pretty clockwork and if it ever veers then it comes early rather than late so I don't really get much opportunity to test anyway!

AF is due on Sunday for me, not feeling anything yet. If it does appear my next attempt will be in 5 weeks as DH will miss the next window, he's just gone back to work for 3 weeks so i'm now just trying to contend with looking after Ollie on my own lol.

@AZ1992X everything crossed for you it's only light and nothing to worry about xx

@AZ1992X 😥😥😥
I have everything crossed that it’s not that. Sending you lots of love and here to talk if you need be xx

Morning ladies,

Sorry for the radio silence just wanted to step back a bit and everything seemed to be going well so had nothing to update.

Anyways just been to the toilet and think I had some pink when I wiped 😢 I’m convinced that that’s it and it’s happening again to me.

Just fed up.

@Lauralozzle 😣 sorry to hear af arrived - it’s the worst. Treat yourself to something nice!
@HopefulGlow I know the first few months of trying I used to think it could be implantation but I’ve given up on that now!! How are you getting on? Af arrived today for me a few days early so at least I don’t have to put up with a week or the spotting like normal!!

Hope everyone is doing ok xxx

Another cycle starts again. Had spotting all day yesterday so knew it was coming, came last night and today full flow.

This is why I don’t test anymore, cycle is like clockwork!

Hope everyone is okay.

@HopefulGlow I'm assuming that will be the case of course if I'm not pregnant by the end of this cycle! The tests are jus the same as anything else but you put it into the actual monitor and it's so much easier! Would recommend. I think I'll do that once I get my confirmed ovulation
