Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@LoulouM12 wow, great lines 🤞🥰

@LoulouM12 they look like some good tests. Keeping everything crossed it sticks!
Absolutely, I’ve made sure I’ve enough to do regular tests leading up to ovulation, and I am feeling okay actually, I think it is nice around this time because we can try as much as possible and then it is after the fertile window that my panic sets in 🤣🤣

Yeh I totally get that... The first two weeks of a cycle it's like 'Meh, period' then 'Yay, trying!' and then the dreaded TWW... Crossing everything for you this time around. Enjoy this week 😂

@GSD2024 thank you! I have bought a pack of 40 ovulation tests so I can test all the way from now until I am due to ovulate! I have learnt that cheap tests are better, plus doing an ovulation test makes you happy when you see the two lines 🤣🤣🤣 x

@GSD2024 thank you so much! I really appreciate it. We have just joined a lovely gym as I read somewhere that being fit and healthy can help with fertility, so it is time to work on ourselves to give us the best possible chance!
Took my ovulation test, I am due to ovulate next week, but the lines are strong. Let me know what you think. I’ll show you!
I am keeping everything crossed that it sticks 🤞🏻keep me updated!

oooo that's looking a good LH line - keep testing! My peak comes and goes super fast...

How're you feeling? Great work on the gymming - feeling physically fitter defo helps and for me helps mentally too.

Hi @JM1997 i really hope this is your month 🤞

I re-tested this morning, this is the progression between Tuesday and today 🥹 I really hope it sticks, but I don’t want to refer yet as I had the chemical at 5 weeks so want to try and book a 6 week scan before I refer to the midwife

Hey, this looks like great progression! Also retested today and happy with my progression from Sunday... think I'm gona try and step away from the tests now!

5dpo today!

Hi ladies,
Sounds like almost everyone is there with getting pregnant after this cycle!! So happy for everyone 🩷🩷
@Hannah4850 it is lovely to see a pic of them at 9 weeks, and I’m glad everything is okay, just keep looking after yourself.
Good luck @GSD2024 i really hope it sticks!
Everyone make sure you’re looking after yourself.
I finished my AF yesterday, so my fertile window starts Sunday and I should ovulate next Thursday, so we are going to try and catch it this window this time, already got some ovulation tests coming 🤞🏻 I have just sent a stool sample to be checked by the doctor as they think there is inflammation in my bowels, my stomach cramp has gone down but still don’t feel 100% hoping that there won’t be anything found and then we can carry on trying!

GSD2024 · 18/06/2024 10:08

@Hannah4850 awww look at the little bubba 🥹 I’m sorry to hear you’re back in hospital, but glad they are caring for you and baby!

@LoulouM12 same, I’ve just taken another test and still not super dark but fingers crossed it sticks 🤞 I feel fine, just got back ache!

5dpo today!

@Hannah4850 i hope you’re ok?

Hiya babe!
How are you doing?? I've been so out of touch lately just trying to get through the days 😭💖

LoulouM12 · 18/06/2024 09:41

Morning @GSD2024 I'm good thanks... Tested again this morning and am happy with line progression, although they could be darker, but the main thing is they're progressing and I'm getting proper positives on multiple brands of tests... And MUCH stronger than last month. But of course still early days. 4 + 2 today. It's such slow going in these early weeks isn't it?!

Feeling OK - lots of tightness/pulling in my bikini area and CONSTANTLY needing the loo but otherwise OK.

How are you feeling? How's the stitch/left side pain you were having?

@Hannah4850 and @Elspeth1990 how are you both feeling? Been thinking of you and really hope you're OK?

@JM1997 how are you? Are you in a bit less pain?

Good morning lovely!
So happy yours is progressing it really does drag in the first trimester everyday is like a week!
I'm back in hospital today my ketones are sky high again 😭
Haven't eaten for 2 days or held fluid down so more IV meds for me
Had a scan last week though after the last hospital admit as I had bleeding and baby is perfectly fine, strong heartbeat and wriggling away at 9wks so at least all my sickness isn't affecting the baby 💖

5dpo today!

GSD2024 · 16/06/2024 07:30

@LoulouM12 aww that will be a lovely age gap too. I obviously haven’t told my sister yet. Yes fingers crossed 🤞🌈 xx

LoulouM12 · 16/06/2024 07:11

Oh my goodness that's amazing about your sister! My sis in law is pregnant and due in October... we started trying at the same time and she fell in the second month of trying, so I'm finding it tricky the further apart we get, but fingers crossed for both of our beans and their cousins!

GSD2024 · 16/06/2024 07:06

@LoulouM12 also, my sister told me she was pregnant last week and I cried to my DH because of my CP last month. If this pregnancy progresses, we will literally be due 2 days apart 😂

GSD2024 · 16/06/2024 07:00

@LoulouM12 i started bleeding on the evening of 18th May but properly on 19th so very close in dates.

yes, I will do one around 6.5 weeks if I’m lucky to get to that point. My chemical happened at 5 weeks last month so I’m praying I get through these next few weeks.

glad you’re feeling ok. I feel fine, like you say exhausted but fine! 😂

Same! Really hope you're ok, sending hugs

GSD2024 · 16/06/2024 06:48

I feel the same. When was your last period, I think I’m also 4 weeks today. Just so scared everytime I wipe that I will start bleeding.

I’m getting a lot of left side pain, feels like a stitch but deeper. Will you book an early scan? X

Last period began on 19.05. Amazing if we're both timed to the same day!

I have sore ish boobs but nowhere near as bad as previous times and a bit nauseous but otherwise ok... oh and completely exhausted of course Confused

I will defo book an early scan, not sure when tho... I had one at 10 weeks with my daughter but that seems forever away! How about you?

Thanks! Feeling ok, but apprehensive and trying not to get too excited just yet... 4 weeks today so incredibly early.

How're you feeling??
