Anyone just starting the TWW?

[LA89]

I got my positive OPK yesterday so think ovulation is today CD 14 so bang on schedule.

I'm 29 and TTC first baby. On cycle 3 now and already stressed something might be wrong 😭

Any one else just starting their TWW?

@Gigi318 fingers crossed for you! Thanks again for the kind words.

@EmmaOvary you're welcome 💫 and thank you!!!

Ahh huge congratulations @EmmaOvary it’s an exciting scary journey and one of those that sometimes the right time never comes up so just enjoy it and what will be will be, you’ll find ways to make things ok. Babies need so little in that first year and with so many buying options and choice with careful budgeting you’ll be fine I’m sure.

@Gigi318 good luck for the 23rd, what dpo are you?

@Bumpingalong84 thank you! That's true, I do keep hearing that. How are you getting on?

I’m ok thank you, told my sister in law today who has been amazingly supportive through all our drama in April and May. So she was super excited for us and will help me with a drinks situation at a family wedding tomorrow 😂 have to pretend to be drinking 🤦🏻‍♀️

@EmmaOvary ahhhh congrats! That's fab. And life has a way of sending exactly what you need 🥰 so it will all be ok. Like pp said: teeny babies don't need much and you'll get help from maternity allowance.

How's everyone feeling today? I need to go to work and I feel dreadful 🤢 I'm thinking possibly telling my boss. As she may just think I'm slacking! Xx

Morning @Alice8688 ohh bless you. I told my boss on Thursday and told her I just wanted her to know in case something happened but that I just wanted to put it to the back of my mind for now.

Is the nausea ramping up? I felt a bit icky yesterday and I’ve just Woken up feeling a bit more icky than yesterday not proper nauseous just yet but defo recognise this feeling from before 😩 tho all I want is a sticky bean so if I have to feel rough for a few weeks so be it.

Hope it’s not a long day at work today. We’ve got a big wedding today and hoping it’ll go unnoticed that I’m not drinking!!

@Bumpingalong84 good luck with the wedding today - lemonade disguised as a gin & tonic? 🙈👌🏻 I'm around 11dpo, Flo has me at 8dpo though. Have a lot of next weekend so trying to hold out until the Monday so that I'm not completely thrown off either way. Hope I can make it 🤞🏻

@Bumpingalong84 Ah a wedding! The first couple hours will be the most difficult. Once everyone is wasted they won't notice you not drinking 🥰 have fun darl!

Yeah. The nausea. I'm hungry to the point I feel I'm going to starve. I make food then that I can't eat. I'll try a mouthful and have to spit it out. Then feel more sick....and then repeat. Round the bloody clock 😭

Sorry you're feeling a bit delicate too! It will all be worth it huh?! Xxx

Ohh bless you that sounds similar to what I had when I was at the worse of it with my DD but that only last two weeks, the rest of the time I could eat but only carbs. You poor thing it’s started so early.

I’m hoping this ickyness (the only way I can describe it😂) will pass after some toast. But if full blown nausea kicks in well I’ll be happy for the symptoms even if I’m a bit 🤢

Did many people guess with your previous pregnancies?

I was just telling DH like you say it’ll be the first few hours then no one will notice. A fair few of his family members knew about our mmc because I ended up in hospital for two days so I’m sure there are a few wondering if we are trying again!

@Alice8688 thank you love. I am sure it will be fine, like you say! DH is super excited and I am starting to get excited rather than shellshocked.
@Bumpingalong84 ooh, a wedding! I'm going to one of those next weekend and it will definitely be noticed I'm not drinking. Good that you have an accomplice in SIL though. Yes, 'disguised' drinks are good - but then you're screwed if someone gets you a real G&T 😂 Have fun today!

How many weeks are you both now? Reading your accounts of sickness with interest,I'm sure that's coming my way.

Hey @EmmaOvary I’ll be 5wks tomorrow so super early days still!

Felt hungover this morning even tho I didn’t drink yesterday, think it’s just tiredness tho. Haven’t started with proper nausea tho. That started at 6 wks with DD and 5 wks last time. I managed to keep everyone off the scent I hope.

How you ladies feeling today?

Hey ladies!

Hope you're all feeling good? I'm feeling v emotional and unreasonable today 😔 I can't shake it. I'm just so annoyed at everything. Xxxx

Morning everyone!

@Bumpingalong84 that's excellent that you managed to hide it. Woohoo, and now you can relax. Hope you have a nice chilled day ahead! That's good, enjoy it while you can as you may wake up with extreme nausea soon eek! Hopefully not 🤞🏻

@Alice8688 sorry to hear that lovely, nothing worse than knowing you feel crappy because of hormones and not being able to do anything about it. I say just go with it. Hopefully you have no plans and you can just have a relaxing day, pleasing yourself. I always find that helps when I'm feeling off/emotional/hormonal. Allows me to just chill a bit!

I'm feeling much better compared to yesterday. Still a bit nauseous but not much. Going to go for a run now and then a nice chilled day. Roll on next Sat to test 🙌🏻

@Gigi318 you are being so strong willed not to test till next week! When are you due AF?

@Bumpingalong84 this is my first cycle and I keep seeing people test early, and get BFNs and it's making me hold out. So I'm going to wait. It's due around next Sunday. So I think Saturday should be okay? I know I could test this week, but I really don't want to be disappointed 😬 I'm nuts I know 🙈
