November 2016. Hoping for sticky ones!!!

[Summerblaze100]

Just got my BFP this morning. Only 11dpo on our 5th cycle but hoping for it to stick.

I already have 3 DC. DD (nearly 12), DS1 (8) and DS2 (nearly 4).

I have 3 early m/c in between my DC so very cautious at the moment.

Anyone want to join me?

Lol at lotsa typo

Although I hate the nausea stage I am looking forward to actually having some symptoms!

It's awkward, fuzzy, and I remember hating telling work so early in my last pregnancy, but tried to look on the positive side that at least they knew if I had time off work for sickness or appointments.

Lotsa, have you had meds before?

I'm still on maternity leave at the moment and not due back for a few months. Ideally I can use holiday/parental leave to stay off but I still want to wait a bit before chatting to HR and my manager as it will be awful if something happens and I end up going back (I tend to worry since a previous mmc).

Hope you can get something to help Lotsa.

Yeah. Had tablets both times. I forget the name of them. I think they begin with a c

Could it have been cyclezine?

Ooh yes. I'm pretty sure that was it.

Ok so Camembert was a bad idea. It felt like such a good idea earlier, it was the only thing I could think about without feeling sick

6 days post BFP here and no nausea! Yay!

Just continued stomach craps and abdominal twinges and my boobs ache a little.

I told my manager at work today and it appears that people are already talking about it as somebody has obviously broken my confidence. I was not amused

Oh Writer, I would be so annoyed about that. Is it your manager do you think?

I have managed nausea from 9dpo which I am hoping doesn't mean I have another eight months to go, like last time.

No it wasn't my Manager as someone told her before I did!

Due to the nature of my job I've had to tell about 10 people so I guess it's inevitable that it's leaked. I'm really annoyed though as when I told those people I said it was strictly confidential

How annoying writer. Personally, I'd ask them all who said it, but I can be a cow sometimes

I'm not sure whether to be grateful or not, but today's vomming seems to be a bug, that me, DH and DS have. Luckily DD hasn't got it yet. So I'm snuggled with ds in the spare bed praying for some sleep

Hi all, had this super weird thing yesterday. Could taste metal in my mouth like I was sucking on coins.

I'm thinking I won't bother seeing mw for a while yet. Makes it all too real and medicalised and it's not like they can actually do snything

The frequent weeing has started....

That was my first sign when I was pregnant with DS.

I was up three times in the night for a wee, and I NEVER wee in the night!!

I did a CB test this morning purely because seeing a positive result really makes me smile!!!

The frequent weeing has begun for me as well and I have a lovely cold. Don't feel sick this morning though, so that is positive. Did another IC and got worried when it looked so faint, but then I looked at the last two days and they are even fainter. Hopefully everything is ok.

Morning All!

I'm having a bit of a "what have I done" moment. I had clearly blanked out how awful I felt last time, I have been sick this morning, and I feel very dizzy and sick... Tell me it'll all be worth it!

Oh, I know exactly what you mean, mango! I keep telling myself it'll be fine, women go through this all the time, but... oh, fuck, what are we doing?! I don't even like newborns I just want to skip the next 3 years or so, please...

The peeing is really irritating, I hate that, especially when you're tired and you just want a good night's sleep.

Albus, I've heard a lot of women get the bad taste? That sounds horrible.

Lotso, are you going to the GP today?

I keep having this thing where I'm not hungry, and I don't fancy food, but them - bam, out of nowhere my blood sugar drops loads and I'm ravenous and shaky. Not too easy to hide in the office!

Oh, and Rattie - hello!

Wish I could just go to sleep for 35 weeks and wake up with a healthy baby.

So anxious, all the time!

Just popping my head in, got a surprise bfp this week, very much a surprise as have a 9 month old and this will be dc3. Must be mad. Think due date will be around 5/11.

Congratulations everyone on the thread so far.

Congrats Illy!

I keep having a wave of queasiness and dizziness and sore boobs as soon I get up out of bed but then it disappears the rest of the day.

Congrats Illy.

Thurlow, no I'm going Monday now. DH had given us all a bug. So we've all been so sick.

I can actually tell the difference between bug sick and pregnant sick - I'm currently alternating between the 2

I think I'm probably due on 5/11 too (slightly exciting as I was due on 5/11 too )

What do you need to do once pregnant? Do you have to go to the doctors ASAP and let them know? Or wait a few weeks and then go?

And how does it work with week count? I know that they count from LMP but do they average it on a 28 day cycle? And if they do would they amend that at the dating scan? As by LMP I would be 4weeks 5 days (4+5?) but I OVed on the 11th or 12th, so that would make me 2 weeks more realistically whereas if I had a 'normal' 28-day cycle there would only be two weeks difference, right? I wouldn't want to get to week 40, be told that I need an induction when realistically I was actually 'less' pregnant and could wait it out, IYSWIM. I really don't want to give birth on a labour ward if I can help it.

I'm feeling queasy generally now, not just when driving Sorry to hear that some of you are actually at the vomming stage already!

I'm really hungry too. Is this normal? I usually have a day or two of binge eating just before my period and I would be due on tomorrow so I'm a tad concerned.

writer That is awful. It makes me glad I work without colleagues, I'm thankful that once I tell my boss I can trust her to wait before telling anybody else.

I wee frequently anyway so I'm not sure thats a sign for me I am dreading that getting worse though!

Thurlow I keep telling myself that other women do it all the time. I am terrified of childbirth, genuinely terrified. To the point of adoption being a very serious consideration (and still is for after this one!). But women do it all of the time so I'm sure I'll be fine!

Rattie, it's probably best to call your GP reception and ask. A lot of trusts have a self-referral service where you either call or send them a form - nowadays they trust home pregnancy tests so no one needs to get tested again. But in other places you can see the GP, especially if you want to talk through any other medication you are taking or something like that.

I think they ask you your cycle to work it out, but they also use the scans to determine it and in my last pregnancy my dates changed by around a week at about the 12w scan.

Don't think about childbirth and all that yet if you don't want, just ignore it - that's exactly what I did with my first (and easily said from the woman who will chain herself to the consultant's desk until they agree to give me an ELCS this time)

Lotso, sorry to hear you're ill as well

I called probably at the same time you posted as I thought it'd be the best place to ask I've got an appointment in two weeks with the GP and the midwife is based in the same building as the GP surgery, so I can just pop in and get my name on their books next week :) I'm not sure why the GP would still need to see me but it wouldn't hurt, I need to see him around then anyway as I had a CFS referral I need to talk to him about around that time.

Haha, I'm glad somebody admits to ignoring the birth I'm thinking that whilst simultaneously googling "How to make birth easier" "How to prepare for labour and childbirth"
