[dizzy85]

@MrsB899 hope you don't mind I started a new thread as went to reply on the last one and it seems to have hit the limit on 1000 posts 😆

OMG @Kinsella82 congratulations! Can't be many of us left on this thread now who aren't pregnant yet, lol!

I'm on CD 13 (O-day!) so the TWW starts tomorrow.

Thanks @Squiff70 fingers crossed the TWW will fly for you and you'll be getting your bfp soon too! It still hasn't sunk in for me.
I had totally resigned myself with the af cramps that I was out this month.

@dizzy85 I think I will tell close family in the coming weeks but will leave it a bit to be just myself and dh who know for the first couple of weeks. I like that

Sorry posted too soon

...I like the little bubble.
I don't know when my first scan will be. It's not always very quick in the hospitals here in Ireland.
I will prob get a private one done around 12 weeks.

Have you plans on when you'll tell people? @dizzy85

@Kinsella82 yer it's nice being in your own little bubble together 😊 I think I'm gonna wait until the first scan if I can then do something exciting to reveal it to the family..if I can wait that long!
Random question but do you know if it's ok to eat smoked ham prepackaged? I've no idea what I can and can't eat and google is giving me different answers and I got some for my lunch tomorrow and now I'm confused 🤣

Did you work out your due date @dizzy85 ?

I just looked up smoked ham on Ovia pregnancy app. I'll screen shot what it says.
I never avoided packaged meat during other pregnancies but I know other people did.
I really only avoid unpasteurised things like soft cheese, pate, some shellfish alcohol

But obv don't do anything you're not happy doing! Or check with your doc if really unsure xx

I'm wondering if I'm further along than I think If CB is showing 2-3 weeks. I just used a due date calculator online

Thanks @Kinsella82 it is confusing with all this conflicting information out there.

I did check my due date and it came up with the 11th February. What was both of yours?
@MrsB899 yes you must be further along as your digital says 2-3 and mine is 1-2.

@dizzy85 mines the 10th Feb

Are any of you cramping. I have been having mild cramps since the day before AF was due nothing really painful but enough that I notice it

@MrsB899 I have been having light cramps aswell it feels like when your period is due is that how yours is? Also I'm getting quite bloated now and gassy lol 😆

@MrsB899 if it says 2-3 on cb then that means you are 4-5 weeks pregnant.

Based on last period my due date is 9th Feb which makes me 4+3 weeks now.
I do think I ovulate late and have longer than average cycles sometimes so I wouldn't be surprised if after a scan they change that date by a couple of days.

Ps @MrsB899 I'm still getting cramps too.
Not bad ones. In a strange way I'm enjoying them - making me think there's hard work going on in there.

@dizzy85 glad I'm not the only one with cramps. I was thinking something's wrong. Oh god I've been farting like a trooper I've been blaming it on my patients all night 😂
@Kinsella82 based on my LMP I'm 4+2 but the CB digital was done on Monday. I'll do another on Monday and hopefully it'll say 3+. The community midwife called yesterday to say she was sending blood test forms etc exciting stuff. My cramps are the same. Like mild period pains on and off not constantly

@MrsB899 very exciting!
My lmp was 5th of May. Yours must've been around then too but you must've Ov much earlier than me. Amazing how it all works.

@Kinsella82 I got a pos OPK on 19th so around then. It's all fascinating! Trying to explain it to my husband is a ball ache though

@MrsB899 I suppose it's tricky to understand!!
I got my solid smiley on the 24th!

I remember having cramps in the first couple of weeks with my first pregnancy. It’s totally normal, but worrying all the same.

Also, my due date was calculated as 1st July and when I went in for my 12 week scan it was changed to 23rd June! It was hard to understand as looking at my ov dates and af etc it was physically impossible lol.

I didn’t avoid smoked ham, just sushi, and unpasteurised stuff th me first time round.

I’m on 3dpo today 😴

It's confusing isn't it! My lmp was 7th and ovulation day was the 18/19th. I can't wait to see someone to see what they say as the due date.

@LuciBee thanks I think I shall just enjoy the ham then 😄 I really hope it's a lucky month for you too! And hope it goes quick 🤞🏻

@MrsB899 that is hilarious blaming your farts on your patients 🤣🤣

Thanks @dizzy85 I'm hoping for a lucky month too! Seems so far away at 3dpo, but got lots on to keep me busy!

@MrsB899 pahahahahaha!

Congratulations !!! There can’t be many of us left still waiting for our bfp’s. Anyone else starting their next cycle this week? AF finished Tuesday mornings so going to start back dtd this week. Who else is with me 😂

@20TinkerBell20 Thankyou, I hope this cycle is a lucky one for you!

@Cupcakes1234 how are you getting on did you do any more tests?

Yes @20TinkerBell20 !! I technically finished Monday but had some spotting through to Tues morning! Xx

@20TinkerBell20 fingers crossed for you this cycle

Morning ladies, hope everyone is doing ok. Just wondering what vitamins your taking? I brought a pack of pregnacare is this enough on its own? I read on that Ovia about needing 600mg of folic acid but they only contain 400mg, do you take extra?
