SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES! Over here! Let's go find those BFPS!

[MotherOfBeagles]

Hi ladies!

Sorry I didn't want to lose you all as at the in law weekend so thought I'd start a new one!

Roll over thread

Kiki that's great news. I unfortunately have come down with d & v so all in all not a great week.

Fantastic news Kiki 😃

footy it's mint that's the worst! It's driving me nuts as I hate the taste of food after eating and I can't have a mint without feeling ill. How's it going with no clomid?

Ah kate that's great timing! Enjoy your holiday it's much deserved. Make sure you get plenty of fluid and kick the cold to the kerb.

Ah no nim! Plenty of fluid and rest!

Enjoy your holiday Kate! Hope the sun and relaxation is what you need for your bfp!!
You deserve a break xx

Sorry nim You are poorly, could it have been the drugs they gave you to make u miscarry? If it couldn't get any worse for you. Really hope you don't lose too much strength as you have done so well through all of this xx 🌺

Beagles, haha yep I remember gagging brushing my teeth! Ginger ale was super! Although u can't clean your teeth with that. I use to suck lemon sherberts or rhubarb and custards really helped with the taste in mouth. No clomid, yay I feel much more normal. Not so grumpy and haven't had any tummy pains yet whereas I was getting them every week on clomid.
Just dtd when I can.. just hoping I'm lucky.

Oh Kiki that's great to hear!! Delighted for you... and now relax and enjoy the first trimester! My acupuncturist always said if you get to the 8 weeks mark that it's very unlikely for things to go wrong beyond that point. How exciting for you!!
Nim bless you, I really hope you're back to strength soon. Such a difficult time, is DH being supportive?
Earth hope you're OK today, has the bleeding calmed down?
Hi Kate, holiday + FW = babies!! (Remember Jodders)
Footy hope it's all happening in there for you too! I've got a good feeling about your change of meds doing the trick!
Jam is it 2ww yet??
Beagles sounds like things are progressing for you. I would be very reassured by all those strong pregnancy signs, hormones are surging and that's what we want! 👏🏻
Mim hope you and DH manage to nail DTD this month, make the most of FW if you can!!
Hey Parney! Hugs to Master Parney, hope he's still being a good boy x

CD4 here, will hold off on serious DTD until at least CD10 or so, need to keep up a good momentum across the whole middle part of my cycle this time! Ordered more conceive plus and we're both on supplements now. DH backed down on the SA so I'll park that for another month. Don't wanna be a nagging old fish wife.

I think I'll be a pro with the morning sickness when it's my turn still feeling queasy on and off! It's actually embarrassing as people can tell I feel sick as I keep having to sit down and look pale. They keep asking me if I'm pregnant! Want to scream I wish I blooming was! Lol.
Worked out that I can't eat any sugar.. had 4 fingered kitkat today and within 30 mins I ran to loo - dodgy tum.

Yesterday had jam on toast and same thing.

Can't sleep 😴

Hope you are ok Earth x

Wow tee you finished the concieve plus mighty fast! Go girl! You must have been at it like rabbits 🐰. Hee hee 😜
Yes pace yourself until the important week.
You never know your Dh might change his mind soon, and go and do a sample. Is there no way of u helping him at home and run it into the lab?

Morning ladies
Great news there kiki , time to relax and enjoy your pregnancy.
earth hope you are better today
Sorry you are feeling poorly nim,hope you slept well though.
tee like am liking the new approach. You are so right, we tend to tire ourselves with lots of dtd just after a few. Gl and hope it works out in your favor.
Hee hee foot , I can't wait to see and hear how your 1st trimester goes foryou. Mother nature is taking too long.
Fx for you kate
Beagles how are you today?

footy glad that things are a bit easier without the clomid. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I can imagine it's irritating as hell people asking that! Can you time your tablets and treats or just going to do no sugar at all?

tee hopefully your dh won't need the SA! Sounds like you're doing everything to plan, definitely knows what you mean about waiting until peak time - don't want to burn out too fast.

I'm good mimi thanks! I passed out on the sofa for an hour straight after work last night which is not like me, I never ever nap - even in uni. Then couldn't fall asleep or stay asleep last night despite still being absolutely pooped. Nausea has eased to more just feeling a bit delicate and things coming into the back of my throat at inopportune moments. My taste is horrible though, metallic and yucky. How's you?

I'm good thanks mob.,just approaching ov.l really feel for you for not getting enough sleep. Glad the nausea is a little better. When I had dd, l puked the whole nine months until I went into labor. It was a nightmare and I really hope none of you ladies go through that.

Cheers footy and that's all sounding good mob.

Still bleeding here, also still sick with sore boobs. Can't wait for scan tomo as in limbo at moment with all of the bad stuff of pregnancy plus bleeding and maybe no goddam baby! I feel like it's only fair if you've not got one for the sickness etc to bugger off.

Feeling alright mentally though - relatively cheery and am really just a bit pissed off at the bleeding and scan wait now. Off to see the new house today 👍🏻

The drugs do have side effects they do say that and because they are generally prescribed for diabetes they strip out the sugar in your blood. I'm not diabetic so if u eat lots of sugar they react in a way that makes u feel incredibly nauseous. I have to take them before food but after I've eaten they make your tummy feel queasy still but not as bad if I hadn't eaten. Trying to build up to 3 a day but still stuck on 2! The third made me v sick. If anything they are making me cut down on food as I'm full after a half of meal. Now can't eat sugar.. lost few pounds in 2 weeks without trying so if anything they are good for that haha.. I don't have a lot of weight to lose I'm a size 10 but when I was training I was very toned and a size 8. So would be grand if I could get back there so WHEN I AM PREGGERS I can enjoy comfort foods! :)

Oh no Mimi that sounds horrendous. I really hate feeling sick it makes me miserable. I don't eat want to talk to anyone when I feel that bad.

Hurricane Doris had just soaked me on the school run! Hope you are all safe x

Well so much for fw during holiday... think I ov Saturday or Sunday?? But dh has come down with horrendous d & v... so that's wonderful! I'm so pissed off but obviously it's no ones fault!! Been a bit snappy with him but he's just so so ill.

So there goes cycle 10 month 11 of ttc... feel like giving up!

Thank you ladies we are so pleased as we had it in our heads from last time - even the midwife cancelled my first appointment due to the 7 week scan report, but little bean is there growing nicely heart beating away.

Hope you feel better soon MIM d+v is the worst.

Kate enjoy your holiday hopefully some r+r will bring your bfp.

Footy - it took me a while to get used to them but it did settle down after a few weeks and with clomid I ovulate perfectly! I used to take my tablets after the meal I don't know if that may help?

Earth - I agree it's so unfair that the body still gives all the symptoms regardless but maybe it means there is still a chance all is OK, fingers tightly crossed for you at the scan tomorrow and I think you are amazing for your attitude towards it such a strong woman xx

Beagles - all sounding good! I love an impromptu nap! Not really suffered with the bad taste but nausea has upped a level and boobs still so sore - also quite uncomfortable in the abdomen as its stretching.

Tee - really hope this is your cycle sounds like you have everything in place FX crossed tightly for you xx

Jam where are you at? xx

mimi that is so cute, he/she is snuggled. And wowza thank you very nice words. It's prob just self delusion. It's difficult for us all, not getting pregnant, not staying pregnant, or just feeling pregnant 🤢 and also worrying away. But we all keep stepping and getting up for work and making food and looking normal and sorted when sad, sick and bloody!

kate that sucks. get a a good book and a beer ordered and get out in that sun and chill 😎🌴🍺📖. I like a wee le carre for holiday reading - exciting and easy to read but not too mindless.

Sorry I meant kiki not mimi my brain obv thinks 4 letters, 2 i's yup that's the same.

mimi hope you manage to get plenty of dtd in! Oh gosh the nausea sounds horrible, i am expecting it to properly kick in any day now though! It's still really early.

earth you really are doing amazing being able to be so strong. I really hope the scan goes well tomorrow!

Good positive thinking footy! Sounds like those tablets are definitely not fun. I hope they settle down a bit.

No good kate I hope your dh is feeling better soon! I know how you feel though I was the same over Christmas when dh was ill. Didn't mean to be but couldn't help being snappy at him. Like the others say, get a book and soak up some sunshine.

kiki that's really exciting! Must be a strong one to hang in there. see I have the stretchy sort of kind of crampy feelings but my mum keeps worrying me saying that doesn't sound normal!

Got to invigilate this afternoon. Really worried I'm going to be desperate for the loo of get nauseous and make a fool of myself.

Stretching feelings/cramps can be totally normal Beagles. I was plagued until 6 weeks with odd AF like cramps!

Beagles I've done so much 'research' on cramping in early pregnancy and it does sound very common! Did you say you would book an early scan?
Good luck for yours tomorrow Earth!
Kate still plenty of time for DH to make a recovery, these things can go as quickly as they came, so stay positive 🤞🏻
Footy are you sitting there with a crystal ball?! He had a change of heart last night so I seized the moment and booked him for his SA on Monday!! That will definitely put my mind at rest so I'm a very happy bunny and he has won lots of brownie points. The first tube of conceive plus I got was 30ml and you're supposed to use 5ml each time (I used a calpol syringe, lol!), so not enough left to see us through this FW I don't think.

Thanks Parney although sorry you suffered with them! Hows the little one?

I have tee its booked for when i estimate ill be 7weeks then i have my booking in appointment on 7+2. But i reckon the doctor is going to date me two weeks further on because i ovulated late so my period was actually quite a while ago. So glad your dh decided to do the SA and well done for being swift to get it booked! Hope everything comes back okay

Hi girls I'm here just not much to report. Am 5 DPO I think. Am focusing more on our appointment with the specialist next week. Plus we've at crunch point with our property purchase so I'm stressed out with that!

Hope you're feeling better soon footy
Great news on the SA tee

Hello and hope you are all doing well to everyone xx

Thinking of you today Earth best of luck xx

Good luck today earth thinking of you.

When's your appointment london? Also exciting and stressful I'm guessing with the house. Have you got a moving date yet?
