Cupcake, I'm dreading having ms, I hope you're doing okay.

Cupcake92 · 01/08/2014 10:42

Tyla I could never cut coffee out :( its so yummy! But I've cut down dramatically now. Only one cup a day. I used to have about 4 haha!
And I'm alright at the moment thanks :) but that's cuz I've not eaten yet. Lunch is being prepped for the old folks atm so I'm staying away from the kitchen. But I'll have to eat something on lunch break :(

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 10:47

I love tea as well though so I'm good. Do you have really early morning sickness? How many weeks are you?

Cupcake92 · 01/08/2014 11:40

Yes.... Very early morning sickness!! I'm only 5+1 weeks :( I really don't want this till 12 weeks hope it' goes!

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 11:52

Oh no! Hopefully it'll just last a few weeks and not till 12 weeks. You tried all the voodoo stuff lol chew some gum or suck a mint? These are tips I've been told for when the inevitable happens.

Siarie · 01/08/2014 13:04

I like coffee too much so I've just picked up decaf beans for the machine instead. I only had the odd one at a coffee shop now and then now :)

Waiting for my fertile days is tedious but at least I am much more relaxed this time, not over thinking things and spend every moment researching online. I think perhaps we have to much information these days, things must have been a lot easier back when you couldn't find all the bad things that happen on the internet.

Oh well CD9 today! Iamdivergent If those pills work maybe you should try them cupcake?

Cupcake92 · 01/08/2014 14:13

I talked to the pharmacist and there's these travel bands u put on ur wrist to help with sickness. She recommended them so may give them a try.

poppet85 · 01/08/2014 14:21

Siarie Ive said the same I reckon we know to much dr google is not good !!

Bearsinmotion · 01/08/2014 15:36

I can't drink coffee now because it makes me feel sick. I normally have lovely flavoured coffee but I just can't drink it. Chocolate is the same Shock

Cd 12 for me and I'm mid dtd marathon. I have a short cycle so think I already ovulated not sure tho really Confused

So we are covering days 6-16 to be sure. Dh is getting a bit weary Grin He started off enthusiastically. I`m calculating all the dates etc. AF due 16th latest but probably earlier so will test then if she has not arrived.

I agree siarie it is a bit information overload. When i concieved dd I was oblivious. I didnt even realise I was pregnant until I was about 9 weeks.

Me624 · 01/08/2014 17:44

Haha 21questions you're in the same position as me! We're half way through the dtd marathon, my cycles seem to be getting more regular at 31/32 days so we are covering days 14-20. DH is already exhausted and says he is looking forward to it being over! AF due for me on 16th/17th too so we can be a for POAS buddies!

iamdivergent · 01/08/2014 17:45

It's strange how if ur not trying and u get pg u don't know! I was about 8wks with dd1 before I knew. With dd2 I got my bfp at 4wks gone as we were actively ttc, so it was a long 9mth. will be the same this time I suppose. fingers crossed I (and the remainder of you!) get a BFP soon!

AF is pretty much gone so will be back on it tomorrow Grin

Yay me I promise not to test early I cant take the dissapointment!

I have my fingers firmly crossed for us all Iam

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 19:01

me and 21 I'm also due for AF around then too!
It could be a lovely week for us all!

iamdivergent · 01/08/2014 20:47

I'll be testing around 26 August which is ages away!

OP posts:
Tylastar · 01/08/2014 21:01

I've been told to wait as long as possible to test by a friend so I don't get an accidental BFN buuuut if AF is not here by the 19th I'm POAS like no ones business!

Bearsinmotion · 01/08/2014 21:10

Good luck ladies!

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 21:16

Congrats on your BFP bears :D

Ducky23 · 01/08/2014 21:41

Good luck to those testing Grin

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 21:52

13 days until I can even consider testing I think! Gah!

Also how helpful are OPKs? Should I bother or is it a waste of money?

Ducky23 · 01/08/2014 22:03

Tyla I used them but that was only because my cycle was so messed up, it would be 21 days then could be up to 60ish days next time.

We DTD every other day and then DTD 3 days in a row when I got my first positive opk, I got two in a row though which was strange! I got pg first month using them but can't say if it was because of them Smile

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 22:34

We've DTD every other day since last Friday and I think I ovulated yesterday or today.

I've been using the Ovia app and seems to give good data but nothing to compare it too! We're just moving into a new house next week, money isn't tight but don't want to spend unnecessarily.

Trying to be calm haha!

Cupcake92 · 01/08/2014 22:45

Tyla u can get tons of opks dead cheap on the Internet. I had 30 for £1.99 or something like that :)
I didn't like them personally as it stressed me out a bit trying to understand them. But for some they are so helpful! :) I got used to my cm in the end so knew when I was ovulating.

I have my new car now :) sat on the drive. It took me about 10 mins to drive away as I kept stalling it! It's had a brand new clutch and is so so sensitive! I felt so embarrassed !
I'm impressed with the boot space, wil deffo for a double pram in there ! :D

Hope everyone is okay tonight and good luck to all those testing!! Come on BFP's!!! :D :D

Tylastar · 01/08/2014 23:04

I'm umming and ahhhing about getting some. DP wants to try without the stress but I can't help but get caught up in it!

I feel very young and new to all this ahaha.

Cupcake92 · 02/08/2014 08:34

Just had an overwhelming sense of excitement about this pregnancy and giving birth! I just can't wait !! :D
But it's ages till my booking in appointment and then even longer till the 12 week scan :( wish it would hurry up so I can see if my baby is alright!
