@Daniki Yep I’m definitely going to try them. Will nip to boots later. Still got a dodgy stomach now but hopefully it dies down.

Ohhh maybe it’s missing the progesterone then? Could be too much of a coincidence. Ahhh yeah I bet that is daunting. How are you now? Has there been any more?

@Marie1990xoh god that sounds horrible! Try the spatone it’s very gentle on the stomach? It’s liquid, and if you do get get the apple flavour the plain one has a zingy taste which isn’t nice! Yea I know thank god, trying not to overthink every little ache here 🙈 I missed a dose of my progesterone yesterday, my midday one, and I’m wondering if that could have anything to do with it, altho I’m supposed to be weaning off a lot of stuff in the next few weeks, don’t like the thoughts of that either!

@Daniki well that’s good that it’s not a huge amount! So so lucky you’ve got the scan though. Yep can imagine it will be a long few hours for you 😣. Why is pregnancy such a rollercoaster!

I’ve been up with bad stomach cramps which turned into the runs, which turned into me vomiting all over the en suite. Think it’s from these iron tablets, I was so bloated yesterday and uncomfortable

@Marie1990xiust a small amount but a more than spotting but not proper bleeding. Went to toilet again there and just a drop. Hopefully just a random occurrence. Really annoyed at myself for buying a pregnancy pillow yesterday now 🙈 this will be the longest few hours ever until the scan!

@RRAEE all sounds positive! Oh yea the cold, I’ve been so so cold! Didn’t even realise it was a symptom until recently! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Daniki ahh I would say maybe you’ll share a birthday, but I’ll definitely be opting for an elective section this time after what happened with my daughter, so should imagine it will be a week or so earlier

@RRAEE really really really hope this is it! Tiredness is definitely a good sign, looking back on the days up to my BFP I was falling asleep on the sofa and much more tired than usual.

Also hear so so many people feeling sick before a BFP, got everything crossed for you 🤍.

According to my LMP I would be due 25th November, but I think I’m more likely 29th November, will see what they say at my scan on Sunday, but will have to wait for my nhs one on the 12th May for my official due date.

@Daniki oh lovely early scan then and nice short day then holiday time! Oh nooo vomiting at work is brutal! So glad I don’t have that to contend with 😅.

Feels so weird that today should have been my hycosy!

OP posts:
RRAEE · 10/04/2025 19:35

@Daniki anytime from now to 5 days time as my cycles are 30-35 days so will wait till CD 36 to test i think (if i can hold off that long )

did you guys get your due dates yet or is it still to early ? X

Daniki · 10/04/2025 19:33

@RRAEEoh I hope so! 🙏🙏🙏 when is af due? X

RRAEE · 10/04/2025 18:19

@Daniki im going to wait till i miss my period before testing but this month i did it every other day to give us more chance so hoping it was worth it 😅

Daniki · 10/04/2025 18:00

@RRAEEhopefully it’s a good sign!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻and the tiredness for sure, it’s a killer! Just thinking how I blessed I actually was with my first pregnancy as it was Covid and I was off the whole time 🤣

RRAEE · 10/04/2025 17:48

@Marie1990x @Daniki i cant wait for the two weeks of i need it 😴 im a couple days away from af but have felt real sick this morning thought i was gunna be sick at work i was that nauseous and ive been so exhausted. Cant even tell if ive caught something from the nursery children or its a good sign 😅

and ive not been getting notifications 📣 so not seen any message for a few days 😪

Daniki · 10/04/2025 17:41

@Marie1990xim glad it’s back so you have the reassurance but hope it eases for you! Isn’t it mad you don’t mind it as it comforts you in a way 🙈 very dizzy and breathless today, vomiting at work, I can’t wait until 3pm Tom til I’m finished for 2 week! Be a short day anyway as my app is at 9.45!

@RRAEEi had some nausea on and off from 5 weeks but it really kicked in around 8 weeks! How are you getting on? 🙏

Marie1990x · 10/04/2025 17:39

@RRAEE I started feeling slightly nauseous at about 5 weeks maybe? But I do think that might have been nerves. Ramped up about a week ago so around 6 weeks it became really noticeable and unquestionable.

how are you getting on?

RRAEE · 10/04/2025 17:33

@Marie1990x@Daniki when did your morning sickness start ? Hope everything else is going well

Marie1990x · 10/04/2025 17:18

@Daniki haha absolutely! I was up in the middle of the night looking if I could bring my scan forward out of anxiety from lack of nausea/vomiting, but it’s fully booked. Fast forward a few hours to mid morning and it came back with a vengeance and still there now when it would have normally eased at this time 😂.

I reckon I will be 7+1, I think that would equate to when I believe I felt ovulation, but who knows!

What time is your scan tomorrow? It’ll be so nice to see an actual baby scan rather than blobs 😂

@Marie1990xhaha the short lived joy! I know it too well 😁 sure I was the same, some days be grand and some days not! I know it’s crazy to be here, can’t believe it! 🫣 yes I wonder what you will be measuring alright!
