Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@MrsEG - thanks, have added you back in.
I'm excited for tonight, filled in a GoT 'death pool' before this series, and am looking forward to seeing which ones I was right or wrong about! 😂 Am probably going to be a mess though if it is a total bloodbath.

LikeTheFruit · 29/04/2019 11:22

@starkid @MrsEG GoT fan here too!! Dreading the battle - there will surely be some big character losses.

@starkid thanks for stats. Mine correct, I turn 31 in 2 weeks and I'm slowly clinging onto cycle 4. CD 35 now. Longest cycle yet. Have had spotting the last 5 days now. But cramps feeling different today so think AF is imminent.

MrsEG · 29/04/2019 11:30

@starkid @LikeTheFruit Yep - it’s gonna be a bloodbath! Not sure I can hack it, I’m barely over Avengers!

@Keyboard91 When is AF actually due, are you testing this week if she doesn’t show up? I had crazy dreams in the days just before my BFP. Nothing to do with being preggo though, just very intense really vivid dreams!

McHelenz · 29/04/2019 12:01

So exciting for game of thrones! Had to log off twitter because spoilers

Marleym28 · 29/04/2019 12:39

@FlapJackered
We are the same dpo I think. How are you feeling x

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 12:46

@MrsEG due Weds, CD27. Planning to test tomorrow but mindful that my previous 2 PG I got a bfp on the morning AF was due, not before.

I feel different to how I felt before.. but PG1 I didn’t really symptom spot/log so don’t really remember how that went, I just remember knowing. And PG2 was weird anyway - knew it wasn’t gonna stick because of how I felt. So although I now feel weird in a very gynae/hormonal way, which is no way my normal PMS, I have no idea whether it’s a good thing or not. I feel a bit like I do on CD2/3 of my cycle but without the blood (at least there was no blood at break, will check when I pee this lunch time.) and not as much pain. I just don’t feel right. It’s weird. I’ve cried over ridiculous things the last 3 days, again not like me at all, even DP has said that. I’m also grumpy, quick to argue. And I’m very clingy. Sex drive is non existent. I ache in my hips and thighs. I feel very heavy on my feet. And I keep having to pull my trouser waistband down to free the bloat. It’s not pretty!

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 12:50

Just peed - no AF, lots of discharge which is slightly off white

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 12:54

@FlapJackered oh brill, glad it's all moving forward for you!! I've never even heard of a fertility nutritionist 😂 I'm not too educated on this stuff!! I'm good too thanks, I'm CD26, I'm gonna test on Wednesday and then next week if AF hasn't come - my boobs are really really sore which I've never felt before so I'm hopeful x

@SophWolf sorry I don't know anything about resting heart rate xx

@starkid @MrsEG ME!!!! DH woke me up this morning at 2 to watch it 😂😂😂 my favourite episode EVER!!! Please let me know when you've watched it, I'm DYING to talk about it!! Xx

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 12:54

@Keyboard91 sounds promising!!! Fx for you xx

SophWolf · 29/04/2019 13:11

@cupcakesandglitter I hadn't heard of the rhr thing before but this is what happens when you start looking in to every tiny thing! CD26 as well so was thinking of testing on Wednesday too! FX for you!

MrsR16 · 29/04/2019 13:15

@starkid the rise in RHR was me! @SophWolf mine flew up by 10bpm, which was the first indication! I'm now sat at 71bpm at 5+5 xx

MrsR16 · 29/04/2019 13:18

@MrsEG huge GoT fan here! Can't wait till I get home (we're watching on Now TV). I think it's going to be super sad but awesome at the same time. I'm gonna be all set with a box of tissues ready! 😂

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 13:20

@SophWolf 😂 at least it's something you can monitor x

@MrsR16 omg! How's it going for you? And yes you please let us know when you've watched it too!! Xx

MrsR16 · 29/04/2019 13:43

@cupcakesandglitter you know what, I'm actually doing alright! Nausea hits occasionally but that's only when I've not eaten. Other than that, I've got constant bloating, ever-growing boobs (which DH loves!) and the knowledge that I've got a little bean growing! I love coming back on here seeing how you're all doing! Xx

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 14:33

Funny story - teaching PSHE to my Yr11 girls and looking at the impact of food choices on climate change ... one girl started crying during the video because it showed pictures of pigs when it was discussing types of meat (literally just happy pigs in a shed!). I asked her if she was vegetarian and she said no! She the said ‘I don’t eat pigs because I love them ... but I do eat ham’ 😂

I’m literally just sat at my desk ... brain is not working so productivity is ZERO 😴😴😴

Tropicana1 · 29/04/2019 14:41

@Keyboard91 😂😂 did you burst her bubble regarding the ham?

I'm all over the place at the moment - I've convinced myself I'm not pregnant this month, but then I'm thinking AF is due weds so should I test again weds or thurs - WHY am I even thinking about testing again when I don't even think I'm pregnant what is actually wrong with me. Maybe it's because I haven't had any cramping yet and normally I do in the few days leading up to AF.

@McHelenz laughed SO hard at the boobies being set free 😂

MrsEG · 29/04/2019 15:01

@McHelenz @cupcakesandglitter @MrsR16 Waahh so excited to watch it tonight now!! DH watched it this morning - the only advice he gave was that apparently it’s been shot very dark, so watch in the dark as it’s really hard to see?! Looking forward to catching up about it tomorrow!!!

@SophWolf Good luck testing on weds - I have high hopes for you!!

@MrsR16 So Good to hear from you! Not to scare you but my sisters sickness didn’t start til week 7 - she said in some ways it was nice though as it just mean baby was growing away in there!! Stock up on some ginger biscuits now just in case!!

@Keyboard91 That is awesome that you are teaching kids about climate change choice! LOL at the ham though - I am a vegetarian and I always remember my granny asking if I could still eat deli meats ‘well there’s no bloody meat in them is there they’re sliced so thin’ - erm, well yes there is haha!!

@Tropicana1 You’re not out til AF sings! Try and do anything to take your mind off it these last few days, there’s absolutely nothing you can do to change the outcome now and worry will do you no good!

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 15:08

@cupcakesandglitter @Tropicana1 we should all test together Weds! FX for you both!

@Tropicana1 @MrsEG we do teach them a lot about ways to empower themselves to make a difference :) personally I’m vegetarian (but I ate burgers when I was PG!) so it’s always interesting. But the ham/pig discussion led to lamb and how it’s younger sheep which led to I can’t eat baby sheep to what is mutton and who eats venison and who tried rabbit and I was just like 🤢 as felt a little queasy before the convo 😂 they commented on how they’d always been taught about the impact of transporting food (food miles) but never about how their choice in food compared. Then discussed impact vs being vegetarian/vegan and actually was a lovely class discussion :)

I don’t know how it’s possible but I’m even more bloated. Gonna rip these trousers 😂

Keyboard91 · 29/04/2019 15:09

Sorry @SophWolf, just saw you were thinking about testing Weds too, you should join us and FX for you :)

McHelenz · 29/04/2019 15:18

I've worked through lunch to finish at 4.30 so I can get home early!!

Tropicana1 · 29/04/2019 15:45

@Keyboard91 that sounds like such a good informative class discussion!

@MrsEG you're right I just need to let what will happen happen! No point over thinking it

cupcakesandglitter · 29/04/2019 16:36

@MrsR16 oh I'm so happy for you ❤️ XX

@Keyboard91 😂😂 bless her. Sounds like a really interesting conversation though, I think it's good for teens to discuss these things and properly think about them xx

@MrsEG YES! It's very very very dark 😂 i was too tired to get out of bed so we watched it on DHs phone. Bad idea, especially given how dark it was 😂 x

@Keyboard91 @Tropicana1 @SophWolf yeah okay! We'll all test on Wednesday 😊😊 xx

McHelenz · 29/04/2019 16:56

Girls I am home! GOT time!

LokiCat · 29/04/2019 17:30

Hey ladies! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

First day of OPK tests for me - I feel so out of touch with you all in the TWW!
No GOT for me - was too busy watching Line of Duty! So sad there's only one episode left!! 😩

@Keyboard91 I'm with you on the bloating! Really wanted to undo my jeans on the train journey home, but didn't think it would be received well.. best thing about coming home is taking my bra off and putting on my comfy pjs/trackies 😂
Hopefully bloating is a good sign for a bfp! 🤞🏽

Happy ov day @MrsEG enjoy tonight and tomorrow! Hope the ice cream farm was fun - I saw the tiniest bit of sun on the way and popped to the shops for some Soleros for me and DH 😋

@cupcakesandglitter I hope the sore boobs are a good sign 🤞🏽

@Tropicana1 it's understandable to want to test when you're close to the end of TWW, but you're not out till AF shows up! Try keep distracted till Wednesday, hopefully it'll fly by.

Such an exciting time for you @MrsR16! Hope you're feeling alright and the nausea isn't too bad! 😊

Fingers crossed for you ladies for Wednesday ❤️

MrsR16 · 29/04/2019 18:40

@MrsEG thanks darling 😘 I'm hoping I'll take after my mum and not have any! She didn't have any at all with all 4 of us! 😂 lucky devil, hey? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter thanks sweetie! I'm still following every move on here 😊😊 xx

@LokiCat no, it's certainly manageable at the moment! I'm still very excited (it doesn't feel real) xx
