Hey, how's everyone doing?
Anyone got tips for nausea? I think it's going to kill me off at this point 🥲
Its horrible 😕 but it will be worth it ❤️

@Vic231 I'm so sorry to hear this! Look after yourself and make sure you have some me time ❤️ I really hope you're okay, I panic all the time about this and I'm 6w today, hoping you get your bean soon!❤️

@Vic231 just replied to you on another thread. So sorry to hear of your latest loss 😔 I'm glad that the amazing @LeopardLover was there to support you through. Sending a massive hug. I may also dip back out for a while but will see how I go. X

Annapolis35 · 11/09/2023 13:45

So very sorry @Vic231 thats a lot to go through. Hope you are doing as ok as can be.

Vic231 · 11/09/2023 13:10

Oh @SnookyPook I'm so sorry.

I've been away for a little while and just dipped back in...

Unfortunately I had my 3rd loss last Monday. (TFMR at 25weeks, chemical and now 6weeks). Thank you for sharing your experience, I love your outlook so much. Today I am feeling much lighter and more optimistic. We have bloods booked in via the EPU for some investigations in a few weeks and I've just started taking Ovum supplements after reading It starts with the egg (£££ but cheaper than buying them all separately!) but didn't know if you knew about this?

I'd also like to share a public thank you to the amazing @LeopardLover who held my hand through my latest loss, it meant a lot to me ♥️

Sending love to everyone, dipping back out for a while again I think xxx

SnookyPook · 11/09/2023 08:17

Yes, thank you ladies. If anything, after the MMC, I'm relieved that it's happened early on if it wasn't viable. I do strongly believe that the right one will come along when the time is right so I have to hold onto that.

How's everyone else doing? Xx

LeopardLover · 11/09/2023 08:08

@SnookyPook Oh no! I'm sorry 😔💜 Like you and the others said, your rainbow baby will pop up at the right time. You just need to wait for that perfect sperm/egg combo! Take it easy on yourself this month 🌈✨x

Annapolis35 · 11/09/2023 07:59

So sorry @SnookyPook what a rollercoaster to go through, but at least you are not feeling too bad. The positives are that you have gotten pregnant so there’s no reason it won’t happen again and the right egg/sperm combo will happen. Be easy on yourself.

SnookyPook · 11/09/2023 06:49

Thanks guys but unfortunately I'm on the 'short-lived excitement' train... CB weeks indicator which should have been 2-3 by now has come up with Not Pregnant which is pretty conclusive!! No bleeding yet but at least I know it's coming. Just hope it doesn't take too long now.

This has hit me far less hard than my MMC in April. I guess I'd had less time to feel hopeful etc. It almost feels more surreal than anything. I'm still trying to home in on the positives that we've got pregnant twice in the space of 8 months, and less on the mad panic about egg quality etc 😬🙃

The right one will come at the right time. I'm sure whenever my rainbow does come along, it will make absolute sense why I had to wait for them. 🌈💕

Bubblesandtroubles · 10/09/2023 22:27

@SnookyPook congratulations on your line. A line's a line- it getting darker certainly isn't definitive! How dark was it to begin with? Keeping everything crossed it sticks! 💕 xx

LeopardLover · 10/09/2023 21:05

@SnookyPook I'm crossing my fingers for you and sending you all the positive vibes! 🥰

SnookyPook · 10/09/2023 20:19

Aw thanks @LeopardLover ... yeah I got my positive at 14dpo - today I'd be 18dpo and the tests look exactly the same. So I immediately assumed chemical. However, still no bleeding and I have just seen some reviews online that others had fears of chemical etc due to crappy progression but on other tests lines were stronger and their pregnancies continued... so not quite sure now. There is still a nugget of hope. Will try different brand tomorrow and possibly contact gp to see if they'll do bloods. 🤞🏻🌈

LeopardLover · 10/09/2023 09:00

@SnookyPook Hello! How are you feeling today? 💜 I just saw your rollercoaster couple of days on another thread. How many DPO are you? I really hope it isn't a chemical 😔

Gosh, your poor Dad! Glad he's doing OK - that must've been scary. A month of MN to disconnect sounds perfect.

And of course, those milestones can be challenging but I'm glad you're letting yourself feel everything.

Sending you lots of love! X

@CAGH03 How are you feeling?

CAGH03 · 07/09/2023 17:55

@SnookyPook hey! Sorry to hear about your dad, but at least he's okay? Sounds like you had a nice little break🤍 Thankyou! Feels very strange to finally be at this point!❤️x

@LeopardLover thanks for the tag! Just returned from my MN hiatus and sooooo many posts to catch up on! Lovely to hear of BFPs and continuing healthy pregnancies! @CAGH03 great news! Sorry if I've missed any other announcements!

I've had a month off from manic MN checking every hour and I think it's done me the world of good to get out of my head a bit. Have been doing yoga, and spending time with family. My Dad has been quite poorly, resulting in emergency spinal surgery last week! Thankfully he's come through it ok and hopefully onto better times! Anyway, it's also been a poignant time as rapidly approaching what would have been my due date at the end of October... Can't believe that's coming round so quickly. But I've taken time to feel the feels and I'm mostly in a much better place now.

Apologies there's no way I can allude to all posts I've missed individually but lovely to hear from you all and yet back into the swing of things.

CAGH03 · 01/09/2023 21:19

@DuchessofSuffolk a test would rule out that answer if it isn't that, maybe try and book in a doctors app? x

DuchessofSuffolk · 01/09/2023 13:23

I had my period last week though… I have been thinking I should perhaps test

CAGH03 · 01/09/2023 13:15

DuchessofSuffolk · 01/09/2023 11:27

Well I don’t know! My period was last week and I feel like I would when I’m due on. I’m in my fertile week and I normally feel really energised and happy that week. Today I feel sad, headachey, cramps and tired

This may sound silly, but have you done a test? 2 days before I tested positive, I felt like I was about to start my period. I felt absolutely awful, but I remember feeling exactly like I do the day before my period arrives. I don't want to get your hopes up by saying this, as it might just be your body trying to sort itself out❤️ no matter what happens, we're all here for you❤️❤️xx

@DuchessofSuffolk Sorry you've been feeling weird 😔 Are you a bit under the weather? I've had strange cycles some months too! Hopefully you start to feel more like yourself soon x

DuchessofSuffolk · 01/09/2023 08:12

I’ve been feeling so weird recently. I’m supposed to be in my fertile week, but I can’t put my finger in it I feel crappy, tired, headachey, I have cramps - pretty much like I’m on my period but not. I had my period last week. 😔😔

CAGH03 · 31/08/2023 20:29

@LeopardLover that's such a good idea 🤣 maybe I'll get one at my first scan lol. Started feeling quite nauseous this evening but hopefully it will go! Currently at work x

LeopardLover · 31/08/2023 19:32

@CAGH03 Oh no 🙈 you need a little badge! I had one in my maternity pack at my booking appointment last time 😅

Waaaah, I hope you don't get it too bad. I'm still sick daily! X

CAGH03 · 31/08/2023 19:03

@LeopardLover no one offered me a seat🥲🤣 I cannot stop eating! Starting to feel a little extra nauseous now tho🥲x
