Well according to test I’m not. For the whole time we’ve been trying it’s never been late and then it goes and does this

DuchessofSuffolk · 19/09/2023 17:17

i’ll buy one tonight. I really don’t know this time. It’s been an odd cycle this month.

It's worth giving it a go tho. I didn't even use early detection and I found out 6 days before my period was due. Use FMU and keep us updated!❤️

@CAGH03 My sickness lasted for more than a few hours 👀 I felt awful! The being sick is really inconvenient but I know what you mean, sometimes it brings relief. But often it doesn't it's just relentless...., 😅I had nausea last time and vomiting this time, I'd take nausea over the spewing up meals any day! I had to eat non-stop but I know it's hard when the thought of food makes you want to vom.

So many women on my pregnancy thread got meds from their doctor which worked! 💜 Or at least took the edge off. Book an appointment!

I definitely will be! Although I'm not usually sick, I have spent hours infront of the toilet just gagging but there's not anything there to bring up as I'm too scared to eat🥲 I'm worried about bean not getting enough nutrition tho,
Although I'm sure it will feed off of me before going hungry 🥹🤣x

@Bubblesandtroubles I'm so pleased the Agnus Castus is working, even if it caused some uncertainty. Onto the next cycle, really hoping it's THE one.

@Favofit You aren't out just yet!!

@DuchessofSuffolk I vote using FMU if you can. Crossing my fingers!

@Annapolis35 So pleased things have improved and you've had some kitten therapy. I agree, the right thing won't pass you by! X

@CAGH03 There are definitely medications you can take if it's unbearable, don't suffer in silence!! 💜

It's horrible tho because I've only actually been sick once, but I HATE feeling sick but I feel sick constantly when apparently the sickness is only meant to last a few hours a day😕 so the thought of eating literally anything makes me feel so much more sick so I have to force my self to eat something otherwise I just feel so ill for the rest of the day x

@CAGH03 Ice lollies and if you can stomach them, plain crackers helped in my first pregnancy! I had to eat non-stop in this pregnancy to survive, even though I would often bring it back up. I went through a chocolate and sweets phase which isn't great but pure survival 😅 lots of fruit too!

Sorry you've left your job after they were so nice! Have you applied for any new ones yet? Probably best to get in before you start showing! X

I've got a few interviews lined up but I'm so worried about starting a new job as I feel so nauseous and exhausted 24/7 I won't be able to take any sick days until my probation is over which is usually 3 months 🥲 might call up the gp as all I can stomach at the moment are bagels with butter or tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches, but I'm not meant to eat too much tuna so it's really not very helpful🥲x

Finally made an appearance for me! Funny thing about being late is that you're over the disappointment and just grateful it's arrived so can move onto the next cycle!
@DuchessofSuffolk if you can wait til morning then I'd probably do that. But if you're after due date I think it's okay to do any time of day. I'd maybe just try and not drink for a few hours beforehand. Good luck!! Xx

DuchessofSuffolk · 19/09/2023 12:25

Although my app says I’m only 1 day late 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ was due Sunday

DuchessofSuffolk · 19/09/2023 12:20

I have lower back pain and tummy pain so I feel like she’s coming. If I test tonight will I get an accurate result or is 2 days late still too early?

Bubblesandtroubles · 19/09/2023 10:35

I'm now several days late but repeated BFNs. I think the Agnus Castus may have worked a little too well! Feeling impatient during this limbo of not being able to move onto next cycle just yet 😕
Good luck to everyone else still waiting! Xx

DuchessofSuffolk · 19/09/2023 09:13

Well AF didn’t show up last night so I will pick up a test after work if she doesn’t arrive throughout the day.

Looks like we're on similar cycles, AF due yesterday as well and no show. I took a Boots early detection this morning and BFN. It's probably not my month, I feel zero symptoms. I hope you've got better luck than me ❤️

Annapolis35 · 19/09/2023 06:44

Let us know how you get on @DuchessofSuffolk. Yes! Just chilling out a bit has definitely helped my mental health. Also my parents got two kittens recently and that’s done wonders for my mental health, they’re so joyful and naughty and I’ve fallen in love. hope the results are ok and it must make you anxious!

Yeah work is way better now thank you - I just started ignoring bad behavior and it seems to have disappeared (at least it’s not so obvious anymore!) and I stopped caring so much. I had a couple of interviews but didn’t get the jobs but that’s ok - the right thing will come along down the line.

@Vic231 hope you’re ok and sending love.
@CAGH03 hope the nausea is easing a bit and all going well.

DuchessofSuffolk · 18/09/2023 19:22

@LeopardLover hopefully we’ll have to see. Hope the bastard doesn’t come at 3am like it did last time. I’ll be fuming. Will buy a test tomorrow after work if it hasn’t arrived by then

LeopardLover · 18/09/2023 16:19

@Vic231 I know we talk privately but I just want to say you are such a strong and determined mama! 💪🏻 I admire you SO much. I can't wait for you to hold a baby in your arms ❤️ Really hoping your tests start in the coming weeks so you can get some next steps in place! X

LeopardLover · 18/09/2023 16:17

@Annapolis35 Thank you! Just waiting on NIPT results but it's already been 7 calendar days and 5 working days so I'm on edge and over waiting 😅 Sounds like the combination of no OPKs and meditation is a good one! Is work better? ❤️

@DuchessofSuffolk Promising signs!! 💜 Crossing my fingers for you x

DuchessofSuffolk · 18/09/2023 12:54

Period was due yesterday but still not come. Got a bit of lower back pain tho. Am supposed to test tomorrow if not here by then. Not getting my hopes up. Just annoyed as last few months has come early by a few days and now this time has decided to come late

Annapolis35 · 18/09/2023 10:11

Hey all. Sorry for the nausea @CAGH03 have you seen the gp? Hope all is going well for you and @LeopardLover in pregnancies! I like the advice of there’s always next month. I am around the end of the 2ww ish, my AF is either due Weds or Friday but I’m feeling alright. I forgot to do OPKs this month. Had lots of AF type cramps recently but woke up in a happy mood. I’ve been doing meditation recently, not to help conception, but to help me cope with trying and it’s really helping and given me good ways to deal with anxious thoughts.

LeopardLover · 17/09/2023 09:06

@Bubblesandtroubles Sorry you think AF is on the way but you're taking the best approach ❤️💪🏻 get those vitamins down you! You just need to right sperm and combo 🙏🏻

@CAGH03 I just ate my way through the first trimester with my first. The only way I didn't feel sick was to stuff my face. Not sure that's the recommended approach though!

I'm a day late according to my app but definitely not pregnant (have tested) and been so crampy/AF arriving any minute for the last couple of days. So just waiting really.

Trying to be pragmatic rather than moping. Already planned a blitz of Holland & Barrett for vitamins etc for both of us next month.

Hope all going well apart from the nausea. Xx

It's good you're keeping your mind busy! As I always said to my partner, at least we always had the next month to try again. When I fell last month, we had used preseed lube the day before ovulation, could've just been coincidence tho lol. Very nauseous and can't seem to eat much without feeling worse 🥲 managed to have a TINY bit of lasagna so hopefully that will keep me going! Got a family bbq tomorrow which I'm worrying about- the smell of food is so bad 😭 and I am so so exhausted. Last day at my job today as I can't keep travelling an hour and a half to get to or from work, especially with how tired and nauseous I am at the moment. Sad to be leaving but hopefully I'll get one closer to home🤞🏼
Sending you baby dust for next month!🤍x
