Mamainmaking · 08/05/2020 19:27

@lizzie198 yes the pain is easing nowSmile

Etonmess20 · 08/05/2020 19:33

@Mamainmaking glad to hear you're doing ok x

whatsthecraic91 · 09/05/2020 10:08

@Mamainmaking congratulations!!

@Annny27 hey! I'm doing great thank you! I am 6 weeks today 😁 I feel completely normal no sickness or anything yet thankfully! Only thing is my boobs have doubled in size and they are so heavy 😂 I have a private scan booked for 24th, I'll be 8+1 and I can't bloody wait! How are you doing? Fertile week I see 😇 x

@Kiza how are you? How many DPO now after Beltane? Fingers crossed it's done the trick 🤞🏼

I really miss you girls, I am still reading all what's happening 😚x

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 10:39

Hello angels! I've been lurking around for sometime. I hope I'm welcome Wink

I feel a bit calm to have people going through the same thing and there's a forum to share our experiences & pour out our minds. I really hope and pray our journey here will be shortened and move past this level soonest, as we we go through this stage together!

I'm 30 years, chemical pregnancy in February, cycle #5.

Annny27 · 09/05/2020 11:39

Morning all :) got my peak opk this morning so will make sure to dtd tonight as well!

@orangeloo yes fw is a lot of pressure! This time it hasn't been so bad because of the bank holiday weekend and the fact we are both wfh so aren't too tired haha!

@Etonmess20 any symptoms for you or are you staying fairly relaxed?

@whatsthecraic91 6 weeks that's so exciting :D :D only 2 more weeks until scan then!! Damn I miss my pregnancy boobs🤣🤣 hope they come back soon for me haha 🙈

@iamhopeful202 welcome:) hopefully cycle number 5 is lucky! This is my 5th cycle after my miscarriage in November but my 11th month overall from when we first started trying

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 11:43

Morning @Annny27

Congrats on the positive OPK!! Good luck!!

I have had some symptoms actually, my nipples look odd (a bit veiny & possibly darker) & are quite sore/sensitive,feel a bit sick every so often, incredibly tired & am a bit bloated. More than likely just clomid side effects but hopefully not. I'm 6dpo today so probably too early anyway

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 12:29

@Annny27 Thanks for the warm welcome, I've been following your posts; so sorry about your miscarriage.
Hopefully, we'll get our BFPs in this 5th cycle........ Baby dust to all of us.

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 12:52

Welcome @IamHopeful2020 are you TTC #1? X

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 13:00

@Etonmess20 Thanks for the warm welcome dear. Yes, TTC for baby #1

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 13:02

@IamHopeful2020 good luck to you! I assume as it's not been a year yet you haven't been to GO etc? X

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 13:03

@IamHopeful2020 *GP sorry,bloody autocorrect ruining my life as per

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 13:17

@Etonmess20 We've actually been trying since last year January 2019, just that we weren't too serious about it then until we got married 5 months ago.

Not yet, we're planning to ring the GP if nothing happens after this cycle.

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 13:38

@IamHopeful2020 ah, that makes sense. Hopefully you get a nice BFP very soon then!

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 13:53

@Etonmess20 Hopefully! I wish all of us baby dusts.

To think that the same pregnancy some people get easily when they aren't even ready is the same pregnancy we're trying for is so frustrating, gosh! A younger cousin of mine even called me yesterday to tell me she 6 weeks pregnant and she isn't ready for it blah blah blah and I was like Hmm different strokes for different folks....... Anyways, life goes on, we move on.
#Sorry for ranting#

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 14:13

@IamHopeful2020 super frustrating, DP & I have been TTC for 18 months & I am at the point I don't like to see or hear about pregnancy or newborn babies. All other children are fine but I just find it really angers me. Hate feeling like that too as I'm not like that, I suppose it's just jealousy on my part!
We all need a rant sometimes!

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 15:21

@Etonmess20 It's so frustrating, we just have to stay positive and keep hope alive.

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 15:33

@IamHopeful2020 all you can do isn't it?

Kiza · 09/05/2020 15:57

@Mamainmaking congratulations for you!

@whatsthecraic91 lovely to hear from you and that you're feeling great. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will fly by until your scan and maybe you'll get to hear a heartbeat! I'm looking forward to those pregnancy boobs!
Yep on 7dpo, even if I'm not BFP this cycle I'm hoping the royal jelly will have balanced out my hormones and reduced my spotting as last cycle I began spotting around 7dop and all seems to be good so far.

Welcome @IamHopeful2020 ☺️

You're favourite time is soon upon you @Annny27 😂

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 15:59

@Etonmess20 OH, that's the best thing I can do for now to keep my sanity intact. Even my DH is getting exhausted coz he thinks I've turned him into a baby-making machine coz the way we usually DTD during my FW is like preparing for an exam Smile.
I've even resorted to reading online books now, probably they'll distract me in this TWW.

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 16:04

@Kiza Thanks a lot for the warm welcome, I've been silently following your posts too, you're such a strong woman.
I wish us all, that good news we've been waiting for in this month.

Kiza · 09/05/2020 16:15

@IamHopeful2020 aww thank you that's lovely of you to say. So many of the women on here are strong, we've been on such incredible journeys and have all had periods of darkness and struggle. However the women here (some of which have had their amazing BFP and moved on) have helped me so much, not only with emotional support but their knowledge of the female body and fertility. It's an amazing group ☺️

IamHopeful2020 · 09/05/2020 16:34

@Kiza You're welcome. Yes, I know that for being here alone means that all the women here are very strong.

I'm very happy to find an amazing group where we can all rub minds together as friends & sisters and discuss the female body & fertility.

Shout out to all moms-to-be here!!!

Kiza · 09/05/2020 20:00

Do you ladies ever daydream about telling your other half's and how happy you will make them? When we first started our journey 21 months ago DP was so chilled and relaxed, as time has gone on he wants this child as much as I do. I sometimes imagine how amazing it will be when I can give him that amazing news and place our baby in his arms for the first time and that I was able to give him so much joy. 💜 mushy and cheesy but I think about it more and more as each month passes.

Etonmess20 · 09/05/2020 21:06

@Kiza oh don't you'll make me cry! Every time af arrives I can always tell my DP is sad ☹️ can't wait for the day I can give him some good news!!
