That's so sweet you are like one big family! We were like that a few years ago, then my favourites left!

It is a lot to think about 😅 Also finding time to apply for jobs with a toddler is challenging.

I'm from Bristol - so close to south Wales 😊

Morning cramping sounds very positive!

@Mangotango39 What DPO are you? 😊 I find it all so boring until 8DPO when the excitement starts 😂 I'm 5 DPO.

Yes it is a big mix of people but most of the team I work with are really nice plus most.of them started the same day as me so we're basically like a big family, I get good and bad days ,it's hard deciding if you want to move jobs and plus your ttc aswell so that's hard would without the job 😂 basically like a second job I think, your job sounds so interesting xx

That sounds promising with the back ache - it’s a sign of implantation especially around the 8-12DPO time. I love the smelly dog. Please don’t let that be just a pongy pooch and it’s actually your pregnancy spidey senses. Headache is also a sign

@Amy95 your work sounds nice. The cramping isn’t a bad sign. You’re around the & day mark right? All signs of implanting (soz don’t have a boring fact for that! 😂 I’ll go find one for you). Happy Friday eve girls and lots of sunshine luck in sight!! I’m going mad I swear.

@LeopardLover I'm not 100 percent sure but I'm guessing around 6 or 7 DPO? We DTD a few times last week when I felt like I was near ovulation.

When I got pregnant before I remember I got really early symptoms. Was your headache sort of sudden and out of the blue when you conceived before? How soon is your AF and how many DPO are you? When will you test first? x

@Sealover123 Eeek, fingers crossed! Yes, it was. I remember dismissing it hence not even remembering it! Just that and cramping for me. AF is due 3/4th June so I'm only 4DPO. I will probably wait until AF is due unless I get some crazy nausea or something 😅 what about you?

@Amy95 I guess it's like that in a lot of places! I real mixed bag of people. It's good if you enjoy it enough to just crack on 😊 Most of my friends have left now, so it's not bad but potentially time to move on. Just tricky with trying to conceive. Not sure if I should just wait and switch afterwards! Marketing (for agencies at least) is pretty fun. I'm not sure how I'd cope in a serious job 😅

@GeoSmed Oh no way! Also in digital marketing but I work in Comms. I do get involved in internal marketing but mostly client side (I work for an agency). So copy and creative ideas etc - mostly for social media. So cool you have design skills too! I bet that comes in handy. X

Hi ladies, I'm also having lower back pain too but I've been working at my desk a lot so might just be stiff. And I'm in my late 30s so maybe just getting old. 😂

I patted a dog today and the dog smell is still in my nose. Pregnancy superpower or smelly pup? 🤔

Has anyone been dizzy or headachy or other potential signs? xxx

Eeek! How many DPO are you? These are REALLY common pregnancy symptoms. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I had a bad headache for a few days when I conceived my son. I actually forgot about that!!

@GeoSmed I love how fierce you are! 👏 I'd be thinking that about the lads at the gym but wouldn't have the guts to say it! What do you do for work? I'm in marketing!

@Amy95 Are the people at your work nice? 😊

i wouldn’t have in a normal world but I think AF showing up, hormones and just one of those days I turned into a cow! 😂
I know what you mean about happy but deep down it hurts and you feel so guilty for feeling that way, but you can’t help it. What’s your little boy called? Don’t worry if you don’t want to say on here as I know that children are private.

she already has one and her daughters a darling. I love her so much and she is really close with me so I am really happy that she’ll have a brother or sister but I don’t know I’d feel about her being pregnant if I’m not. Hopefully all the stars align and we’re pregnant together … ha. Fat luck of that ay! How about you and your sister?

spooky - I too work in marketing. Digital marketing manager for a cyber security company. Niche! i used to be a graphic designer but I f op out of love with it and find I ended up working more in digital anyway with campaigns. How about you? What do you do in marketing? X

That's good tho that you have something reliable and not too stressful so you can focus on home life - works for paying bills after all, not life xx

@GeoSmed
I'm 19 and he's 22, not married yet but hoping he'll pop the question soon! Told me he's planned a surprise for me within the next couple months 🤞🏼 been together 2 years. And yes exactly! Literally all he does is has sex and then that's it! He doesn't have to worry about whether or not ovulation is happening, or if something isn't right! Been told I don't have pcos but would need to see a specialist to rule out endo (my mum has it) so I always worry that I can't actually have children! And I'm sure he doesn't want to know about my cm! I said last night that I had cramps and it could be a good thing and he said you always say you have cramps.. I only get them when I'm on my period so he doesn't understand why I'm excited to test on Saturday/Sunday! I'm probably just getting my hopes up just to be let down again :( but it will happen eventually xx

How many dpo are you ?? I'm also getting cramps xx

Haha perhaps more 'distracted' than relaxed then! I'm hoping that theory works for us this month as our TWW is so busy with weddings and friends visiting, so hopefully we'll ''Relax'' 😉How old were you when you had your first?

Try not to be disappointed, although I know that is so easy to say, but not so easy to do! That's something I have had to come to terms with having to have fertility treatment, that you have to have hope, as that is what keeps us going and keeps us positive and going again the next month. Every single month is a chance to change everything, just take each one month by month - you got this! 💜

Oh gosh can you imagine? my best mate is the same so I feel you! Should have odd on it happening - could make some money in the process haha xx

Show quote history

Oh brilliant distractions planned 🤣👏 I was 34, had him at 35! 😊

Yes, you're right. I felt gutted when my sister in law fell pregnant even though I wasn't ready for #2, because her first is the same age as mine! But now baby is here I'm not so jealous haha. We're dealing with the terrible twos so I need time for that to settle 😅 are you mentally prepared for your bestie to fall pregnant? You are happy for them but it's still hard!

P.S my husband knows I have mumsnet friends 🤣❤️ the support required never stops! It's invaluable in those first 12 weeks too. I told most friends when I was 4 months pregnant last time (covid/wanting to do it in person) 😅 I needed my online pals! X
