@MichT4 at least you have met her now, when can you take him home?
My Fridays been ok, been chilling on the garden, popped to DW sports as it's closing down and spent £172 😆 that was after 40% off aswell but made a start on my dh birthday and Christmas presents xx

Pugprincess · 07/08/2020 16:03

@MichT4 hey! Feeling all sorts! Twitches, twinges, pains around belly button, mild cramps, bloated, heart burn, majorly hungry!! Felt a bit sick last night. Have today but more from heartburn. X

Firevie · 07/08/2020 16:09

Omg @MichT4 that pup is so so adorable!!!! So fluffy! Was the breeder okay?

Xx

Northernsoul90 · 07/08/2020 16:12

@MrsK21 Thank you 😊 yes I will do. Can you remind me did you have a similar sort of thing ovulation but no full flow period? Or was it no ovulation? Sorry I can't quite remember! I've had brown/black blood today but again only small amounts really.

Thank you @Firevie @Pugprincess xx

@VP91x Yes I went back in for a scan at the 3 week mark and no retained tissue could be seen. xx

@MichT4 Awww just adorable 🥰 !! I bet your so excited xx

My Friday is okay, I had another bit of a wobble at my mums earlier but I'm feeling alright now. I just want to know what's happening and I'm unsure whether to take this bleeding as a period or not. Will see what happens I suppose over the next day or two and then I've got the phone call with the nurse on Wednesday - not sure why it's the nurse and not my GP 🤔. I might buy a bottle of wine for tonight, nothing planned though and then meal tomorrow! Hope everyone's had a nice day!

VP91x · 07/08/2020 16:18

@Northernsoul90 ahh okay, it kight just be taking a while to fully like go into a flow. Why don't you ring back on Monday and ask to be contacted by the GP? I'm sure if you say you've had a clot etc they'll let you speak to someone on the day. Even if you do get your period properly just so you can talk it through xx

@MichT4 omg😭 just saw the pics. Sooo cute 😫🥰🥰🥰🥰 you must have been so happy to see him. Bet you can't wait to have him home xx

scrambledeggy · 07/08/2020 16:23

@MichT4 I keep looking at that puppy picture to destress myself! I got a big work task done today and plan on a nice sunshiney walk later, so a pretty good day overall.

@Pugprincess Normally wouldn't be congratulating anyone on their heartburn but afaik that's all early pregnancy stuff! Hope your symptoms don't spoil your weekend, I bet they won't with this lovely weather Smile

@Runnergirl1 Sorry for your loss, sounds like you are doing the right thing by taking things as they come. I think sometimes when you are bombarded with information it can just stress you out. I'm now distracting myself from TTC worries by baking a pie, all the blackberries round here have ripened so early Shock

@Bellabubble What a rubbish week, I hope the rest of the month brings you more joy.

Thanks @2020wish! Yet another new symptom TMI-bit worried about the bit of brown spotting I got mixed with some creamy CM today. I'm only 8DPO, I don't want a period...Confused
@Northernsoul90 I hope your practice nurse can give you some answers, mine's always really helpful. And enjoy your meal, what sort of restaurant are you off to?

DBTJ · 07/08/2020 16:28

6hours later finally saw baby and a heartbeat Smile all is well, however I was put on a drip and several meds plus injection due to sickness. I advised anyone suffering in silence to seek help nausea and sickness can be managed.

Lollol86 · 07/08/2020 16:39

@DBTJ that's amazing news ❤️ at least they could help with your sickness, it's really hard to get through the day when sickness is bad xx

Northernsoul90 · 07/08/2020 16:51

@VP91x Yes I might do that! I was considering ringing the EPU back but figured they would probably just tell me to go to my GP now. Have you got any nice plans over the weekend? Xx

Thank you @scrambledeggy me too! How are you getting on? Xx

@DBTJ That's brilliant news!! 😊. So sorry about the sickness I suffered bad with it before mc and it's brutal. I'm glad they are helping you with it xx

Pugprincess · 07/08/2020 17:07

@scrambledeggy I had light brown in my discharge at 8/9dpo, could be implantation? Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 apparently most ladies implant around day 8/9 I read.

@DBTJ glad you have had some help I’m assuming you feel much better now? X

Runnergirl1 · 07/08/2020 17:28

Thanks ladies. There is so much info out there and ever area seems to say different things so not going to worry if it happens it happens and hopefully will be a sticky bean this time. Plus who knows when af will arrive so that means little stress too as I’ll not know if I’m pregnant or just waiting x

MichT4 · 07/08/2020 17:36

@VP91x yeah it was amazing to see him. Wish we could have taken him today. Not long to wait though. @scrambledeggy I'm glad he's making you smile as much as me.

@DBTJ so pleased everything is going well and you heard the heartbeat. Also good to hear you're being looked after with the sickness.

I'm feeling a bit shitty (sorry) which is weird after such a lovely start to the day. We popped in to my sisters on the way back and she told me my PG had a scan because she was worried she hadn't felt the baby move. All is fine, but they asked her if she wanted to know the sex, she said no, but thinks from things they said it's a boy. She has two boys already and I'm sure is desperate for it to be a girl. I think that's what's making her paranoid it's a boy again and it's made me feel teary and sad, when we would be so happy with either. I know I'm probably being irrational but this is the lowest I've felt about baby stuff in a while, just caught me off guard xx

VP91x · 07/08/2020 17:56

@DBTJ glad all is well with baby, brilliant that they are managing the sickness too it can be really tough if you're getting it really bad, rest up 🥰

@MichT4 oh I'm so sorry you're feeling so down, its completely understandable. You're not being irrational, naturally you would feel sad because she's maybe upset over having another boy potentially, yet you just want to be pregnant. Maybe talk through your feelings with your partner just so you've verbalised them and let yourself feel sad about it and then do something nice for yourself tonight. Also, never apologise for feeling down on here! ❤️

Northernsoul90 · 07/08/2020 18:04

@MichT4 Sorry that you are feeling down, I agree with @VP91x it's completely understandable. It's really frustrating when people seem to moan and take for granted the things that we long for. It feels like a kick in the teeth. I hope you have a nice evening planned and please don't apologise for sharing your feelings! ❤️.

I have a bottle of rose for company tonight 😂 DH is out with friends, he offered to stay at home as I've been sad the past couple of days but I've told him to go. Sometimes I just want to be on my own to think things over as I feel like nobody irl understands - sounds a bit depressing but I like my own company sometimes.

chloedancer897 · 07/08/2020 18:17

@MichT4 it's a totally normal reaction. Sometimes people don't know how much we suffer in silence. Take care of yourself xx

chloedancer897 · 07/08/2020 18:19

@SmileyT how many DPO were you when you got sick with the milk? Trying not to symptom spot here but the nausea is unreal. However I'm only 8DPO! So really doubtful it's anything

Firevie · 07/08/2020 18:22

@MichT4 oh no I’m sorry you’re feeling low! Hope you can switch off and treat yourself to something nice this evening. This will happen for you also!
@Northernsoul90 I thought you guys were off for your anniversary dinner today? Rose and your company sounds lovely. I totally get it!

Update on my eve - I had a bit of an argument with DH. His boss had invited the team this eve to celebrate his birthday in a park. DH has been desperate to see his team mates so been buzzing all week to go. I have never been fond of the idea as I think he should be shielding himself just like I am because we are going home to see my parents and relatives etc. He thinks it’s fine cos he’s had the virus so thinks he has antibodies. He says if I’m concerned he’s happy to come couple of days later for example of Tuesday so that would give him 4days in isolation just in case before he comes home. I told him it felt like what I wanted didn’t matter (ie I want him to travel with me tmr), his priority was seeing his team mates when his priority should be me and my parents. I know for sure if it was the other way around he would kick up a fuss if we were going to see his parents and I wanted to hang out with friends before. So I told him he can go (then he felt bad and said now he doesn’t even feel like it anymore) but I said I didn’t want him here now anyway as I’m mad so he should go. I know he loves my parents way more than I love his lol! But still it has to be said so I hope he’s feeling bad now! Also seems like decision has been taken out of our hands anyway as visa hasn’t arrived today with the post so it will probably arrive tmr! Anyway that’s my update. So now I’m doing office work, still need to pack, clean flat and wash hair! I am going to order wagamama on deliveroo ! But no drink for me as still in TWW xxx

chloedancer897 · 07/08/2020 18:40

@SmileyT PS I actually vomited my guts up at 5DPO, the first time I've vomited in years. But honestly, that's far too early. So was convinced it was the Quorn mince I had. But today so nauseous, I've wretched a few times too. Promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot this time 😖😖

DBTJ · 07/08/2020 19:03

@Lollol86 @Northernsoul90 @MichT4 @Pugprincess @VP91x thank you all im feeling much better I promised that I wouldn't complain is baby stuck but the sickness was draining. Just woke from power nap feeling refreshed and thankful. A womens body is definitely a temple

MichT4 · 07/08/2020 20:22

Thanks ladies, you really are all wonderful. I'm in my comfies with a fizzy water in a wine glass, watching Joker. Has anyone seen it?

@Firevie sorry to hear about your tiff with DH. That would annoy me too. To be fair your evening sounds amazing - love wagas. I bet he will feel bad and I hope he works hard making it up to you. When is it you leave? Is it tomorrow did you say?

Thank you @Northernsoul90 @VP91x @chloedancer897 @Firevie I know I don't need to apologise here. I just feel bad being negative. Enjoy the rose @Northernsoul90 🍷

@DBTJ glad you are feeling better. Look after yourself and that little bean xx

Firevie · 07/08/2020 20:37

@MichT4 cheers to your fizzy water in a wine glass. I got a lemonade from wagas with my meal. Have cleaned kitchen and living room - feels so much better now. Just need to clean bathrooms now, then packing, then finishing office stuff and washing hair. Yep I leave tmr. My flight is at 8so need to leave around 5actually as I want to get to the airport around 6.30. So no BBT for me tmr as I usually take my temp at 6.30am.
Hope you’re all having a good evening! Will keep you posted obv from Vienna! And @Lollol86 and @michT4 we have a date next Thursday / Friday to take our pg test. Apologies if I’ve forgotten someone. I can never keep up haha xxx

VP91x · 07/08/2020 20:56

@Firevie have a safe flight and enjoy your trip to Vienna hopefully your partner can join you in a few days. 😘

@MichT4 sounds fab, no I've not seen it actually but it is meant to be really good. Let me know if it's worth the watch!

Are you feeling any better? Xx

@chloedancer897 I really hope these are positive signs for you 😍🤞🤞

OP posts:
Lollol86 · 07/08/2020 20:57

@Firevie we do have a date, I can't wait although I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Have a safe flight and an amazing holiday xx

MichT4 · 07/08/2020 21:00

@Firevie have an amazing time! And yep, date is in the diary. Obviously you'll be subject to many updates beforehand. Just hope I make the date before AF rears her ugly head

@VP91x I will do. It's pretty dark so far, but I'm gripped so that's a good sign. I think it might make me emotional, but most things would in my current mood 😂

Yeah I'm ok, just have this sadness today now. And it's making me anxious about everything. Sounds ridiculous I know. I think subconsciously I'm expecting AF this month and though it's fine, and I know I'll get my bean when it's the right time, it's still bothering me it might not happen. I'm just in a pity party for one 😂

How are you? Much planned this weekend? xx

VP91x · 07/08/2020 21:08

@MichT4 yeah sometimes you just need to sit with the sadness, and let it take over for a bit so you can process it. I hope you feel better for the morning.

Whatever happens we are here to support and talk you through it. As prepared as you might feel for it it is still alot of disappointment to deal with, but let's keep hopeful until something definitely tells us otherwise ❤️

Im okay my OPKs are still a pile of crap, but it is what it is! Tomorrow just at home probably go and see my parents. Sunday we are booked to go to Chessington xx
