Honeymoon is going well, really enjoying it! Just on the second part now which is the Seychelles, very hot here!
How is everyone?

hopeandpray1988 · 31/07/2019 17:27

Thanks @ELW85. Just got try and keep busy so I don't stress out over the next 2 weeks but relax at the same time 😂

@LokiCat fingers crossed you'll get to dtd tonight 🙂

@Anny27 thank you chick

@PippaPug thank you - hope you're having a lovely honeymoon!

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:27

@PippaPug enjoy the honeymoon! We got married in May and are going to Sri Lanka in September for our honeymoon- literally can’t wait.
We knew we wanted to start trying for a baby straight after getting married so tried to find somewhere that would be exciting but also not have any too nasty infectious diseases.... hoping if I am pregnant by September (and who knows if that will happen) then i’ll cope with it ok! Just didn’t want to miss out on the trip and then not be pregnant either. Has anyone else done anything like that?

@Lozzlepop I hate that cut off of 35 as it does just make you feel more under pressure. I have a friend who got pregnant the first time of trying aged 39 and had her baby with no problems at 40. So I try to think of that when I feel worried. Xx

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:28

Fab news on the scans too. Really happy for you both xx

PippaPug · 31/07/2019 17:33

@macbless - you thought about it more then I did 🙈 I just knew I didn’t want to be sick on my wedding day....honeymoon has been fantastic - although early mornings has really tired me out!

Is anyone else who is pregnant, not being sick, or haven’t been sick? Sounds silly but I haven’t been sick at all (I have other symptoms) but slightly concerned about not being sick as that whats a major sign and its making me a bit anxious about it all....hope it’s ok asking on here and I’m not being insensitive asking on here, if I am I can get my post removed 🙈

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:46

@Makingawish my temp did rise today. So I was being a numpty worrying about nothing! 🤦‍♀️

LokiCat · 31/07/2019 17:47

@PippaPug ooh amazing!! I went to Seychelles for my honeymoon as well, it was absolutely beautiful! We want to go back soon as it was our favourite holiday and we have some lovely memories there 😊
Glad you're having a lovely time. I know it's easy to worry about not feeling sick, but not all women get morning sickness from what I've read and it may come a little later? How many weeks are you now?

@ELW85 of course stick around!! I'd love to know how you're getting on. Ah so happy for you lovely, you deserve it ❤️ xxx

@hopeandpray1988 thank you! I hope we do. According to the apps I should be ovulating tomorrow with the info I've put in.
We're also going to finally have a date night tomorrow as well, so that will hopefully take pressure off things to DTD next 3 nights!
Definitely book some treats for yourself to keep your mind off things and relax xx

Work was really good today. This week is flying by! Can't wait for the weekend already 😂
Have a lovely evening ladies xx

Makingawish · 31/07/2019 17:51

@Macbless are you officially in your TWW now then?!

Macbless · 31/07/2019 17:56

@Makingawish yep! I’m joining you!
@LokiCat hope the next 3 days go well. We last DTD on Monday night. Hopefully will manage tonight and then have a bit of a break 😉

Larrydavid · 31/07/2019 18:01

@ELW85 so happy to see your post and that everything is ok! 🎉

I've been a bit quiet on here - first week of tww is done and I'm trying to be chilled this month and basically ignore it's happening! Hope you're all well

Makingawish · 31/07/2019 18:15

@Macbless yay! I'm only 3DPO but trying my best not to symptom spot this cycle. We all know that won't happen.

@Larrydavid how are you feeling?

PippaPug · 31/07/2019 18:30

@Macbless - are you in the dreaded TWW now? Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼

@LokiCat - when did you get married? It’s simply stunning and a wonderful rest from the last 10 days getting up at the crack of dawn! Nice relaxing part of the honeymoon now!
I spoke to a midwife on the phone before I came away and she gave me my EDD which puts me at 8 weeks and 4 days. I would assume it would of hit me by now, I have been feeling nauseas a lot, and have to eat every 3-4 hours otherwise I’m “starving” 🤨 and have sore boobs and incredibly sore/sensitive nipples 🙈 I’m tired but not as much as some women say and that could also be aftermath of the wedding and early starts with the honeymoon!
I didn’t realise I would be this anxious and have booked a early scan the day after we get back.

How is everyone doing this evening? X

LokiCat · 31/07/2019 19:13

@Macbless thank you!! Well done to you, it's difficult DTD so often 😂 I'm just glad it's not so hot anymore, I wouldn't manage it then!

@PippaPug we got married in August 2017 (anniversary next week!) and went to Seychelles in September. Where were you before? Definitely need a relaxing honeymoon - enjoy!!
I think the nausea is one of the major symptoms, many don't get physically sick - so I think you're okay. Good luck at your early scan when you get back, how exciting!

@Lozzlepop sorry I missed your message before! It is hard, I give props to everyone that managed to get through SMEP!
I did read that they mostly say it so it's easier to date, but of course you have to feel ready as well, sorry lovely ❤️
Oh that's strange, could it be something else rather than ovulation pain?

Just did another OPK when I got home with the CB digital left from last cycle - got a static smiley for the first time ever!! Never been so excited to see one that I sent DH a pic as well 😂
Hopefully he can rush home tonight!

Anny27 · 31/07/2019 19:28

@LokiCat we got married sept 2017 so also 2 year anniversary soon. Are you doing the traditional "cotton" themed gift or going off track?

On cycle day 2 today so looking forward tp end of period and getting started with SMEP again :)

Lozzlepop · 31/07/2019 19:34

@PippaPug glad to hear that you are having an amazing honeymoon it’s sounds just idyllic!

@Macbless yeah I try not to worry about it too much either!

@LokiCat that’s ok ☺️ Haha I know it’s tough going at the end! Last time we started on CD8 and I ovulated on CD17 🙈 nightmare haha! Yes I was just thinking that! This was nowhere near as traumatic as our first miscarriage, I do want to try again in the sense that if it was to end in miscarriage again at least we would be offered tests going forward! I’m really not sure what it could be, away to do an OPK to see where things stand! That’s amazing you got your static!! Hope DP gets away sharp!
