Thread #3 - TTC#1 Grads thread. No TMI is too much, no question too stupid!

Runner05 · 23/02/2016 16:47

Come one, come all it's the TTC#1 Grads thread! Everyone welcome so long as you're not put off by graphic descriptions of the lunch we couldn't keep down or the weird pregnancy symptoms we just have to share.

Our lovely ladies now span many stages of upduffedness from "woohoo BFP, now let me pee on 58 more sticks just to be sure" to "Oh my god, why don't they warn you what morning sickness is really like?" To" I need to pee 132 times a day but look at my cute scan photo!"

if you're looking for advice, banter and support, along with the occasional scan photo or rant, you are definitely in the right place.

Thank you for your messages ladies, Lauren that's a lovely scan.
I have only been between bed and the couch and the fridge so far today. After my bath I had another little brown bleed again but sorry for tmi think it was just the bath water washing away the old blood ( I hope).
Apart from that pain has eased and I'm just back to feeling sick.
Oh has anyone else got MAJOR baby brain? I have completely forgotten my PIN number! I use my card everyday and have now locked my card becuase I can't remember!! I think I am going crazyConfused

Lauren that's a lovely scan. Wow what epic results Pink!

Indi I have had moments of baby Brian and keep forgetting my do is a Beagle and that he can't be trusted around food. This has resulted in three different sandwich crusts being stolen.....

LaraG13 · 27/02/2016 19:44

bunch, I'm liking the phrase 'baby Brian' 😄 Think we should keep using that one!

BunchOfBobs · 27/02/2016 20:43

Oh Jeeze haha Lara I think that demonstrates the phenomenon perfectly!

Runner05 · 27/02/2016 21:23

Just went out for an Italian and now I think I'm going to die of food BlushConfused

Hope everyone else has had a lovely Saturday Smile

It's nice to hear you're eating again though runner! I had a curry. Making the most of not feeling sick, in case my days of enjoying food are numbered!

Runner05 · 28/02/2016 10:06

I can't even look at a curry these days Sad

I've started taking anti-sickness medication. I find that if I take a tablet after each of my main meals I can almost function like a normal human (almost) Grin

Runner05 · 28/02/2016 10:17

I just had a thought... Maybe we should have a due date list so we know where everyone is. I don't mind keeping it up to date if you ladies want to let me know your edd's Grin

That's a lovely idea, thanks Runner. I'm 5th October

shelbTa · 28/02/2016 10:23

Morning ladies.

How are you all?

Lots to catch up on! Pink - amazing stats, glad all is well!

Runners glad you are eating!

I felt barfy again last night and through the night but it seems to have subsided.

Good idea runner! I'm 1 September.

Pinklily1 · 28/02/2016 10:24

Definitely an improvement then in the eating department Runner! Which sickness meds are you on? I'm sure you've told me before but I have a brain like a sieve at the moment! I'm still struggling with appetite and it's really annoying me now. I just want to want fresh fruit and veg like I used to, but the only things I can stomach are apples, oranges and cherry tomatoes Hmm

A list is a great idea. My due date is 30 August.

Pinklily1 · 28/02/2016 10:25

Morning everyone else too!

Mileymoocow · 28/02/2016 10:27

Hi guys, been awol for a couple of days. I've had a day or two where I've felt loads better so am taking those days by the horns and eating everything in sight! I had a meal out yesterday and managed a bowl of seafood linguine and a soup starter which was really lovely. I'm a bit worse today but I can cope Smile

We have our 8+2 scan on Wednesday which I'm so nervous for, I can't get too excited. OH is almost hitting the roof because next Sunday we'll be telling our parents and we've finally chosen our style of new home we'll be moving into once I'm back at work (unless OH gets his new job sooner! ) All very exciting!

Runner our EDD is 10th October for now but that will probably change at our 12 week.

shelbTa · 28/02/2016 10:31

Pink - I am mainlining cherry tomatoes!!!

LaraG13 · 28/02/2016 10:34

Great idea runner. At this stage mine is 27th Oct.

Glad you're feeling a bit better miley. I'm sure your scan will be wonderful. I have one booked in for 8+3 which is 3 weeks today.

Hope the sickness was just passing shelb

Nevlet · 28/02/2016 10:45

Great idea runner and glad everyone's managing better with food!

4 september here Smile

Pinklily1 · 28/02/2016 10:51

It's something about the juicyness shelb!

IndiX · 28/02/2016 11:08

Pink I feel the same I miss my healthy food, all I want is carbs or comfort food so my diet hasn't been great. Salads are knocking me sick atm but I know I need more nutrients!

No bleeding this morning when i went to the toilet so I'm keeping everything crossed for Wednesday's early scan, I feel OK in myself so keeping positive.

At the moment my edd is 11th October but sure that will change.
Does anyone know if they tell you an updated edd on an early scan? I'll be 8+1

Mileymoocow · 28/02/2016 11:14

indi I was told they're a bit cautious to do so because it's hard to get an accurate measurement that early. We're just going to go off our 12 week scan date

shelbTa · 28/02/2016 11:21

Indi I was told at an 8 week scan but when I got to my 12 week they dated it nearly a week later.

IndiX · 28/02/2016 11:26

Oh that's annoying shelb I'll take it with a pinch of salt then if they do tell me an edd

Planeteer · 28/02/2016 11:53

Really glad people are starting to feel a bit better - enough to eat actual food at least! I'm also constantly after carbs and salty stuff... Eating enough fruit and veg without feeling sick is a struggle, but I can apparently eat prawn cocktail crisps until they come out of my ears!

I'm working to an EDD of 20th Oct at the mo but fairly certain it'll change at the 12 week mark. Lovely idea to keep a list runner.

Danni89 · 28/02/2016 11:54

Thanks for organising us yet again Runner!

EDD at the moment is 12th September

Newmrs22 · 28/02/2016 14:12

I'm 16th August. Great idea Runner

StarkyTheDirewolf · 28/02/2016 14:33

Just popping in to say still thinking of you guys and hope all is going well! No baby here yet but got my fx! Much love to all of you and your growing baby beans! 💟
