Very good advice @Delilah7 xx

ttcat32 · 29/08/2018 08:28

OMG @purplestar9!!!!! Congratulations sweetheart! Absolutely delighted for you and 2-3 already! So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️ I had a feeling that it would be when you said you were having the strange cramps!

@Delilah7 glad you are going to see the gp, if anything it will put your mind at rest a bit. On your last comment, I can't wait till the day you tell us! That's the lovely thing about this group everyone genuinely roots for each other even when the are having a difficult time themselves 💕

@Crossfitgirl sorry you had such a shit day yesterday, hope you are feeling a bit better now. If all else fails set your alarm then minutes earlier in the morning and "snuggle" in a bit, take advantage of what nature provides 😂😉

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 08:28

@purplestar9 massive congratulations! That's awesome news!

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 08:29

@Delilah7 yes very good plan. DH's family live 60 miles away whereas mine are only about 4-5 miles so it's definitely them that need to know, just in case anything happens I need someone around me who can help.

I told DH that when I'm pregnant he can have a new xbox... he's just remembered haha! 😂

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 08:31

@ttcat32 @MrsR16 thanks guys! I'm so glad I waited till AF was late to test, made sure that line was visible!

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 08:32

@CrystalBlaze thanks Hun. 😘

@ttcat32 it'll be so nice won't it. I root for everyone on here I so wish we could all meet up it would be lovely!!

@purplestar9 that's not me trying to make you worry or anything darling either it's just me trying to make sure you have that support! Oh god 😂😂😂. You're in for a fun 9 months now hun!! Hahaha xxx

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 08:35

@Delilah7 oh I know, don't worry! I had already thought of it to be honest. One of my sisters had a miscarriage so it always going to be at the back of my mind. But positive thoughts are the way forward! Going to call my doctors shortly and see if I can book in with a midwife :)

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 08:36

@purplestar9 it's so exciting!! I'm so so happy for you. You shouldn't have ages to wait till you see midwife if you're 2/3 weeks pregnant. That means you're 5 or 6 weeks I think doesn't it?? X

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 08:39

@Delilah7 yeh, based on my last period I should be 5 weeks 1 day! So excited!

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 08:41

@purplestar9 congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 08:46

@purplestar9 so you only have to wait 3 weeks ( based on my knowledge ) to see a midwife! Woooooo

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 08:52

I'm so torn between testing in the next couple of days and waiting till Monday! It seems such a long way off!! @sunshine1987 when are you planning on testing?

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 08:55

@MrsR16 one app says Saturday, the other says Monday. I don't want to let either one down so surely the only decent thing to do is test Saturday? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈 it is taking everything this month not to test at the moment but I'm just not convinced everything is in my head anyway

MrsR16 · 29/08/2018 09:00

@sunshine1987 I think Saturday haha it's close enough to Monday! I have a feeling that I'm not, but that's not enough to stop that little tiny bit of hope that I might be!

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 09:08

@MrsR16 same! I keep thinking "oh we didn't do it enough this month" then read that valid got a positive and had sex 4/5 before ovulation which would mean I've done it a lot. Then I'm getting cramps but that could be AF. Out of breath but then when did I last exercise lol. I'm driving myself bladdy nuts!

sunshine1987 · 29/08/2018 09:12

@MrsR16 purple star not valid lol x

stormtrooperjulian · 29/08/2018 09:18

@purplestar9 congratulations! That’s so exciting!

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 09:19

Thanks @sunshine1987 and @stormtrooperjulian 😊

Malichick · 29/08/2018 09:30

@purplestar9 CONGRATULATIONS! Such wonderful news!! Can’t believe you managed to wait that long to test!! Please stick around and update us all on how your pregnancy is going 😁😁😁😁

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 09:40

Delilah7 · 29/08/2018 09:46

Hi, can I join please?

I'm ttc baby #1, cycle 2, cd 24.

I'm due on Friday - I had awful cramps at the start of the week, along with nausea & sore boobs but now just have the sore boobs, headache and way tmi, lots of CM.

Only dtd once this month but hoping we timed it ok x
