Wowzers @PinkButtercups congratulations!

PinkButtercups · 31/05/2022 21:51

There are identical twins on DP's side (his uncles) on my side we have a couple of non identical twins x

dearhummingbirds · 31/05/2022 21:44

@PinkButtercups Twins! Awh, how lovely. Are there any other twins in the family? Or a complete shock?

OCM19 · 31/05/2022 21:40

Wow @PinkButtercups that’s so exciting! I can imagine a big shock though! Eeekk how exciting!

WingingIt09 · 31/05/2022 21:39

PinkButtercups · 31/05/2022 21:38

Heartburn early on, really bad lower back and very sore boobs early on.

Other than that, no 🤣

None of that would massively make you think twins would it. How many weeks are you? X

WingingIt09 · 31/05/2022 21:37

@PinkButtercups I bet. Did you have any different signs compared to your singleton pregnancy?

OP posts:
PinkButtercups · 31/05/2022 21:36

Thank you. It was a big shock!

WingingIt09 · 31/05/2022 21:35

@PinkButtercups OMG congratulations!!!

PinkButtercups · 31/05/2022 21:32

Went for our early reassurance scan today.

Thankfully all is well with BOTH babies. We found out today we're having non identical twins 😁♥️.

@tryingtryinggone hopefully it's a lucky thread for everyone and we see more BFPs soon!

OP posts:
tryingtryinggone · 31/05/2022 20:41

Late to the party but congratulations @WingingIt09!

I can’t believe how many BFPs there have been on this thread!! 🥰 fingers crossed for everyone (including me) trying so we can join the growing positive list soon ❤️

Tropicana1 · 31/05/2022 20:37

@WingingIt09 in definitely investing in one of those early clear blue digis! So much better than squinting at an FRER!

OCM19 · 31/05/2022 20:34

OMG @WingingIt09 congratulations ❤️ You must be thrilled, such wonderful news xxx

WingingIt09 · 31/05/2022 19:52

@Dreamingof3 my digital was the 6 days early digital one. 10miu sensitivity. I'm amazed it showed with the faint FRER line I had so I now recommend that! Makes it a lot clear than evap/not!

@lj2022 yes I found that too! Hopefully you get your BFP soon xx

Why is it when TTC suddenly there are pregnancy announcements every other day on social media. Please tell me it's not just me that this is happening to. I'm so happy for everyone but also then get sad

Definitely not just you! I said to OH the other night that I feel like a fertility luck charm for other people!

LucyLoopyLu · 31/05/2022 16:09

Yes they are everywhere 🥲 hoping it will be my turn soon

Dreamingof3 · 31/05/2022 16:05

@lj2022 yesss they seem to be everywhere!

Dreamingof3 · 31/05/2022 14:48

Also I've got a lot of strip hcg tests that came with my opks so I will probably use those to satisfy the urge to poas before af is due...other than that I was going to order a couple of frer and does anyone recommend any 😅

Dreamingof3 · 31/05/2022 14:46

Looks like a few of us will be in the tww at the same time 😁 we can all obsess together haha. I've got both my girls birthdays coming up and starting to look at wedding plans so hopefully I'll be busy enough that it doesn't drag too much....

Tropicana1 · 31/05/2022 14:39

@HeathenPlayingHouse that's great that your appointment has come so soon!

@LucyLoopyLu glad you got your peak!

I'm CD11 and started getting some ewcm and backache so hopefully will get my peak in the next couple of days. Absolutely shattered today but want to try to DTD tonight / every other day until ovulation if we can

LucyLoopyLu · 31/05/2022 13:41

Hi all

Thanks for your encouragement 🤣
I did get my peak OPK when I tested last night and we did DTD. I think my DH "understood the assignment". I wouldn't be surprised if he worked out exactly what I was thinking but not sure how much he thinks about TTC.
I hope that gives us a good chance. I did have some cramps yday that could have been ov pains, EWCM, peak OPK. Fingers crossed.

I just need to work on trying to chill now. Although I have plenty going on to keep me busy. I think I need to delete some social media apps because they are full of babies and it's not helping me relax 🙃

Theawkwardblonde · 31/05/2022 10:30

@Dreamingof3 A size 16 is definitely not massively overweight. I'm a 14/16 too but I'm very muscly (blame the CrossFit). The consultant reduced me to tears about my weight. I had hyperemesis and put on a couple of pounds during pregnancy. She had me in for baby measuring small and just ripped me to shreds for being slightly over weight. My community midwife was raging and complained on my behalf. I wouldn't care but the consultant was a big lady too!

Dreamingof3 · 31/05/2022 10:21

@Theawkwardblonde it's absolute madness!
I'm overweight (size 16 so I wouldn't say massively so) and I had gestational diabetes last pregnancy, probably half a stone heavier than last pregnancy too so I know if we conceive this time my weight will be mentioned right away 🙄
