Thanks girls for all your nice words. My stomach is killing me today. So tender. Think I’m going to see how today goes and if it’s still carrying on then ring 111 for advice, I’ve lost 5lbs already and dehydrated so not good 🙁

I’m still reading all of your updates! @AMS19 that’s so lovely to see !! 🥰🥰

@Lucille3 Thanks, suppose there is a little bit of hope! Xx

@positivitytree2020 100% keep doing temps whole way through the cycle. Fully back what @Ams19 said there. In my last cycle I was part hoping the ovulation could have been a couple of days earlier as there was a bit of a rise then a fall then more rising - would have just about fallen in the window for DTD at the right time. But when I saw it drop in the morning before AF started, it wasn't a huge pill to swallow, more just ah ok, I know what's coming now. Obviously that can vary from person to person but it was v good to monitor and to now be able to look back on that chart. Also, my temps are ALL over the place, worse this cycle than last, but post ovulation they were consistently high (see photos)

@jessi60 yeah that sounds like a good plan - if you can't stop vomiting you might need one of those injections. I had to have one when I got salmonella. Hopefully you'll start to improve today though...keep getting lots of fluids down you x

Hey everyone!

@positivitytree2020 yes keep doing the temps 🙂they have to be up for 3 days to confirm ovulation. Don't worry if they drop back for a day, and then go up again, that's a 'fallback rise' and is common. You can also look out for an implantation dip (around 7dpo some people get a drop in temp followed by a rise, which might indicate implantation) or a triphasic pattern, which might also indicate a BFP.

Hehe my DP also likes to mention his super sperm and has once or twice gone as far as making a noise like an arcade shooting game to indicate his sperm 'shooting' the egg hahh oh dear.

@AMS19 I feel sicky! 🤢🤢I haven't actually puked yet but I can only eat a half portion otherwise I feel like I'm going to spew. And I've gone off some random things. Like usually if we were having sausages it would be with mash, onion gravy and veg, but for some reason I can't handle the idea of the gravy? Rice cakes are now my friend. I have my booking in on Wednesday, I'll be 7+1. Really good you got your 3+. How are your symptoms? Oh also I think I've gone up about a cup size hah. But they really hurt.

Oh gosh @jessi60 that sounds awful. Poor you. Really hope things improve soon. Calling 111 is a good idea if you can't keep water down x

@CardioQueen @GreenApplesYo thanks for the advice, will keep doing my temps as everyone’s suggested! 😊 hopefully they stay slightly risen the next few days! 🤞🏼 It’s all so technical isn’t it, be prepared for lots of graphs to be sent in over the coming days! 😂 at least I’ve made it this far anyway! ☺️

@AMS19 that's amazing news about your CB result must feel so reassuring to know everything is on track! I did manage to dtd yesterday morning and will go again tonight. Just tested again and it's a really strong positive, coming up at 1.45 so hopefully still got a bit of time! Will keep an eye out for temp rises now. Side note: I have a vague memory of you saying you'd tried the Nosecco- was it alright? I saw it in the shops yesterday and wondered about it.

@GreenApplesYo sounds like you're doing well too! I was honestly so naive about pregnancy before all this I had no idea these symptoms kicked in so quickly!

@positivitytree2020 love to see that peak! Ah I'm feeling very excited today and looking forward to seeing how everyone gets on over the next couple of weeks!

@positivitytree2020 you will ovulate 12-24 hours after your peak. If your temp went up this morning I reckon you're officially 1DPO and in tour TWW!! Eeeek! Well done. I have an implantation dip on 12DPO which I thought mean AF was coming. It didn't, so it means nothing. So really important to keep tracking!

@jessi60 you poor thing!! Make sure you're having those hydration sachets things. They are gross but you need them. Just think of all the Xmas food you can have guilt free too!

@greenapplesyo oh no!! It was always going to happen wasn't it. I dont even feel pregnant today. I give it another week of feeling totally fine and I'm fully expecting it to change

@Bells20 it is amazing!! It tastes like Asti rather than prosecco which i love! Your peak sounds amazing. If you can DTD again tonight and your temp rises tomorrow I reckon you're in for a great chance!

@bells20 average time for the start of morning sickness is around 6 wks so you really don't get long just to enjoy your BFP before beginning to feel rough!

@AMS19 DP is being great and fetching glasses of water or my sick bowl (not that I've had to use it yet but it's reassuring). It seems like such a pointless reaction doesn't it? Like I was thinking my baby would be all organic hehe, turns out all I want to eat is salted popcorn, salted crisps and salted rice cakes. Would be much more helpful to the baby to be happily eating salmon and green veg (obviously still trying with the green veg etc). Haha you'll definitely be here in a week or so too... I'd say eat loads of fun things now 🙂

@GreenApplesYo if you’ve got morning sickness bad I believe in the old wives tale that it’ll be a girl! Everyone I know who’s had babies the people who had girls couldn’t keep their heads out the toilet whereas everyone who had boys didn’t have any sickness at all. It could just be a fluke though lol. Just thought it might be of interest 😅

Oh god @GreenApplesYo that sounds crap! Im fully expecting it to come. I'm gonna get all my healthy eating in whilst I can and then will just rely on the vitamins in pregnacare to get the goodness to the baby! Im gonna actually make sure my Asda delivery next week has all the essentials!

@Dex1521 My sister had a horrendous time with sickness with both pregnancies and she had two boys 😂😂 x

@jessi60 haha now I sound silly 😂

@Dex1521 haha don’t be daft. Guess it depends what your surrounded around more. Everyone in my life has basically had boys lol x

Just did a test because I'm an idiot 🤣 BFN of course at 7DPO what did I expect 😅 xxxx

I mean I inverted this one and my eyes are playing tricks on me 🤣 I mean I'm not sure what I expected to see mid day 7DPO after 1.5 litres of water 😂 xxxx

@drs44 I wouldnt have believed it if you did get a BFP. I would have assumed evap that early on an IC!

@Ams19 I just thought with it being a cheap one might as well satisfy the urge and then leave it a while at least! Xxx

Just had a thought that it’s my fellas birthday on 11th December. Would be amazing to pop a positive pregnancy test into his birthday card...but, if I didn’t drink any wine for the next 2 1/2 weeks he’d totally guess!!

Not that I’m getting way waaay waaaaaaay ahead of myself or anything 🙄

@DrS44 I love that you took a test too...makes me feel less of a nut 🤣 sometimes you just have to POAS 🤷‍♀️

@AMS19 ooh that is good news, I actually prefer the taste of Asti anyway! Good to know, hopefully I'll be on the nosecco come Christmas.!

@DrS44 I don't blame you for one second! Defo try again in a few days!

@DrS44 haha I’m the same took a IC yesterday at 2dpo 😂 of course it was crystal clear but it’s scratch the itch. Now going to try hold onto 10dpo which will be next Sunday and do a clear blue 6day early test with first wee of the day 🤞 not holding many hopes for this cycle though with it being my first. Id be extremely luck and grateful if it did but will try not be disappointed if it doesn’t happen

Just been watching videos on the TWW and one girl claims that if you’re not pregnant your CM drys up after ovulation and you don’t really have any whereas if you’re pregnant it stays like EWCM and doesn’t change. Surely this isn’t correct? Does anyone know if this is true or not?

@Dex1521 hmm not exactly. I have creamy CM. It's lots every day now, but at first I wouldn't have noticed being wetter than usual. It definitely wasn't like ewcm at any point. I think if you have cm before AF is due it can be a good sign but it's probably not reliable either way?

Oh also going back to an earlier conversation, I've heard of the girls make you feel sicker theory too 🙂

Wouldn't have noticed - sorry I guess I mean I noticed because we're all symptom crazy, but it wasn't enough to be certain that I was usually... fluidy haha.
