Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

This just shows how you can't plan things in life. I was absolutely adamant to not get a scan before 8 weeks this time. I was adamant.

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 12:21

I got the appt for today!!!!!! WOOOHOOO! Now need to switch to the positive mode and instead of 'I will see if everything is okay or not' switch to 'I will see the HB for the first time in this pregnancy today'.

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 12:18

@Indianna2006 based on my ovulation I should be measuring 6w5d. Saying that, implantation happened really early so maybe I will not be so behind... Will see what the scan says but I won't be disheartened if I don't measure as 7w as should be a few days behind. Still enough to see HB though. I will 100% keep the NHS EPU appointment for next week as well as with the first pregnancy I had HB at 7w but not at 8w so absolutely need some reassurance next week as well!

MrsCristianoX · 10/11/2022 12:13

@lovenaps yea go for it😘 stupid woman is still annoying me. Good luck xx 😚

Indianna2006 · 10/11/2022 12:12

@lovenaps ahh yes of over 7 weeks and you’re sure on your dates should be fine then. Yes agree hb should be visible. Will you still get a scan from EPU in few weeks as well?
If so then at least you get double reassurance. But if it’s only
one scan you will have I’d wait personally.

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 12:10

@MrsCristianoX @TheBirdintheCave Thank you both!
I totally get the scrolling thing! 😂😂Just over 7 wks so HB should be visible.

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 12:09

@Indianna2006 just over 7wks so more than enough for a scan today! Trying to arrange one now! Let's see if it's possible!

MrsCristianoX · 10/11/2022 11:55

@Indianna2006 bring back the masks!! I hate being sick 🤢 child zero came into my work yesterday and I gave him loads of hugs (bad day) then remembered he was the spreader 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 10/11/2022 11:50

@lovenaps I'd be blocking that person. She definitely doesn't sound like a good friend. Sorry you've had to suffer that :(

MrsCristianoX · 10/11/2022 11:49

@lovenaps what a shit thing to say to you 😠 this is no friend. You want a baby and she knows that so obviously it will make you happy. God I'm pissed off for you. How many weeks are you now? I have no energy to scroll down and look. Just to see if a scan would be worth it xx

Indianna2006 · 10/11/2022 11:46

@bunnykins123 yay for ovulation. Fingers and toes crossed for you this month.
@MrsCristianoX oh sorry you feel poop. I have avoided anything until now but heading into winter season im thinking how less likely it’s getting.
i need to book my flu jab as well and get that in.

Indianna2006 · 10/11/2022 11:45

@lovenaps ugh ppl and there insensitive messages. They just don’t think about it sometimes. And I think you tend to only take a sensitivity if you’ve been there. Or really cared for someone and watch them go through. Best to try ignore it. I know it’s sooo hard sometimes. And you’ll cry with frustration whatever.

how far are you for a scan??

MrsCristianoX · 10/11/2022 11:44

@bunnykins123 🤞I think we both have! My boobs always get a bit sore after ov and they have been but up the sides not at the front weirdly. I feel absolutely awful today. DH and 2 of my kids have this viral thing..it's defo not covid but my god I feel rough. I have zero energy and had an awful sore throat yesterday. I haven't been too sympathetic with DH either but man this is horrible 🥲 I'm just laying zonked out. Stupid viral infections 😕

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 11:39

I could try to arrange a scan for today... Don't know what to do. Just feeling awful and would like some reassurance.

lovenaps · 10/11/2022 11:38

I will throw my phone out the window. I have a friend where we don't talk much but she knew about the losses. She told me I didn't need to experience having children to be happy (well, thanks for that, thanks so much). The only times she messages me is to say she is pregnant + pregnancy updates but it is not normal messages if that makes sense like hi, I am pregnant, etc. With the pregnancy, I knew straight away because she was messaging saying how happy she was and then very clearly was dropping hints and said she was pregnant. Similar stuff happening now when she wants to tell more news. I just won't bother to reply. I can be happy for people but when they act like my pain means nothing and aren't able to even send sensitive updates - have not got any time for this.
Feeling panicky as symptoms completely eased off last night 😭I know they come and go though. It is just overwhelming, scan feels like it is forever away.

TheBirdintheCave · 10/11/2022 08:44

@bunnykins123 Glad you got a rise at last :D Mine has just been the same temp for the past three days now but CM is creamy today so... I guess I'll just treat it as if I've O'd and keep track of the CM just in case.

bunnykins123 · 10/11/2022 08:29

@MrsCristianoX I had a temp rise today so who knows when I actually ovulated. No energy last night to try again. Haha I doubt it's that, it's far more likely to be a juicy folly!

@calimc83 glad the nausea has eased up. There is nothing worse than feeling like you're about to vom the whole time. Meds are fine actually. No obvious side effects (although I had the worst virus a few weeks ago so wonder if it felt worse due to the meds?!) xx

MrsCristianoX · 09/11/2022 19:47

@pangolin84 sorry you're feeling down 🙁 hormones defo don't help. It seems to be one thing after another, miscarriage date, due date but keep going ❤️

@bunnykins123 OPK is low so whatever happened has happened 🤷‍♀️

calimc83 · 09/11/2022 18:11

@bunnykins123 hey I'm ok, plodding along. Feeling alright at the mo. No more nausea just the on off headaches. Hope u are doing ok? How's the new medication going? Xx

MrsCristianoX · 09/11/2022 17:24

@bunnykins123 mine is probably appendicitis ffs I'll check my OPK when I get home from work 🙄

bunnykins123 · 09/11/2022 16:26

@pangolin84 oh hun. I hear you. We are the exact same age. I never thought in a million years I would still be here without a baby after I just turned 38. Sorry if you've mentioned before but have you had any tests done?

@TheBirdintheCave looks like we are the same - I had EWCM today. My temps are low too, no major increase so who knows where I am on my cycle. Honestly my body can just do one now...🤦‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX I don't really get spikey pain. Mines like a bloat and pressure that builds up and kinda moves to my hip / back. It gets more intense then just disappears which I always assumed was my follicular swelling and the egg releasing. We've done more this cycle too but im literally so done with dtd. I just want to watch I'm a celeb in peace without thinking I need to be sexy again...🤦‍♀️

pangolin84 · 09/11/2022 15:49

@MrsCristianoX I’m ok, thanks for asking. Been in a bit of a funk as I’m CD5 and since AF turned up I’ve been feeling pretty down. I guess it’s normal with the hormones and everything. I also realised that if I don’t get pregnant this cycle I won’t be pregnant on the due date of my MMC.
I shouldn’t really be surprised as it took us a year to conceive DS after my first MC and now I’m 38 so will probably take even longer (if at all) 😢
Just trying to stay positive 🤞

TheBirdintheCave · 09/11/2022 08:36

@bunnykins123 It was the thick clear stretchy stuff. I've still got it today but can't be bothered to dtd tonight lol. My temps still haven't changed either. I keep expecting an obvious spike but it's only raised a tiny bit. Very odd.

MrsCristianoX · 09/11/2022 08:29

@pangolin84 you ok lovely? Xx

MrsCristianoX · 09/11/2022 07:58

@bunnykins123 haha I was googling too.. I think it can be different for everyone but the spiky pain on right side I think it was then or close to then. I don't temp so thank god don't have that to obsess over. I had a wee meltdown then told myself to wise up. I DTD more than a normal fertile week. Mind DH was up for it last night but I could NOT be bothered 😂
