@kirinm no I've not, why do you ask?

kirinm · 05/01/2021 14:19

@whambam89 I thought your DP had a positive test or did i imagine that? I assumed you'd had one too. Sorry if you haven't!

whambam89 · 05/01/2021 14:35

@kirinm yeah he's had a positive test, I only need to get a test if I have any symptoms (which I don't), otherwise we all just need to isolate x

MrsB2019x · 05/01/2021 14:44

@SS123456 Yeah that could be a probable cause though I did have breakfast this morning 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had to take the afternoon off work today because I felt so horrendous and was nearly sick 😣

SS123456 · 05/01/2021 17:16

@MrsB2019x I got really bad nausea with my son and I lived on ice-lollies most of the day, could you maybe give that a go?

MrsB2019x · 05/01/2021 18:02

Yeah I might try that, I only have strawberry splits in the freezer so will need to order some. I have felt groggy most days but today is the worst nausea day by far, hoping it’s just a one-off! I’ve got full fat Coke stocked up as well which hopefully with help too 🤞

Sansa87 · 06/01/2021 09:37

We’ve started sorting out the nursery. Starting to feel a bit more real now. She’s also kicking and moving a bit more. Still not liking red meat or mushrooms though!

SS123456 · 06/01/2021 09:46

@Sansa87 ah how exciting, enjoy 😁

whambam89 · 06/01/2021 10:08

@sansa87 so exciting! I loved doing our DDs nursery

Sansa87 · 06/01/2021 10:33

I was almost sad that I’m not getting to experience this until the age of 33, my ex and I started trying when I was 21, but I really don’t think I would have felt this in awe, or this lucky if it hadn’t taken 12 years for me to become a mum.

I’d started to believe it would never happen for me, & I would be a cat mum, & auntie instead. (Which is totally okay, but I have always wanted to be a human mum too!)

Hormones are doing a number on me as you can tell. Happy crying this morning! A lot of people tell me I’m lucky it happened so quickly for us, & I want to shout it’s taken me 12 years to get even a hint of a bfp 😅

How is everyone feeling.

whambam89 · 06/01/2021 11:00

@sansa87 it's so annoying when people assume you've had an easy ride!

AF has turned up this morning for me so that's great 🙃 onto month 9 I suppose 😭

kirinm · 06/01/2021 11:18

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @whambam89 :(

No news here. I'm only 6dpo. Don't have any tests in either so may not bother testing this month. Not feeling confident generally anyway.

whambam89 · 06/01/2021 11:24

@kirinm you sound as fed up as me 😂 I wasn't confident at all this month but it doesn't make it any easier does it, feel like it's never going to happen 😭

kirinm · 06/01/2021 11:32

Any excitement of ttc was lost long ago - I don't think I ever found it exciting tbh. I can't really see it happening for us now. I'm trying to detach myself from it. I've learnt that I can feel nauseous, tired, emotional, gassy, spotty, achy and have sensitive during the TWW and it means absolutely nothing!

whambam89 · 06/01/2021 12:20

@kirinm my symptoms are literally different every month. This morning I felt like there was no chance of AF arriving in the next 2 days, I've had no cramps at all apart from the ones I had 3 days ago, then it just appeared completely out of the blue... Can't remember the last time that happened. Fingers crossed for you this month x

MrsB2019x · 06/01/2021 13:14

@whambam89 I’m so sorry lovely 😪 xx

SS123456 · 06/01/2021 14:53

Sorry to hear that @whambam89 😔

OP posts:
whambam89 · 06/01/2021 15:19

@MrsB2019x @SS123456 thanks ladies. Literally the most uncomfortable AF I've ever had just to make things worse, so bloated and I've got so much trapped wind (tmi sorry!)

Isolation + a 3 year old + AF when you've been trying to conceive for so long is not a good mixture 😭

SS123456 · 06/01/2021 15:23

@whambam89 no it's definitely not a great combination 😔. Hopefully after a few days you will feeling a bit more human again and ready to give a fresh month another shot. It does become harder to keep going as time goes on though doesn't it

Hi ladies, I'm back to ttc. So ended up in a and e Monday with suspected ectopic but after a blood test again today (hcg was 250 on Monday and now 58), it's now a miscarriage (no.4). We are being referred to recurring miscarriage clinic. Bleeding has finally started easing. However I'm rather concerned about my progesterone level which is at 0.4 (this seems very low). I hope you are all well xxx

whambam89 · 06/01/2021 18:19

@krj2688 so so sorry to hear this, hope you're doing as well as can be expected ❤️

krj2688 · 06/01/2021 18:27

Thank you @whambam89, drowning my sorrows with the baileys I got for a Christmas present! Tomorrow is a new day! Trying to keep positive xxx

SS123456 · 06/01/2021 18:34

@krj2688 I'm so sorry for your loss, rest up and take it easy x

OP posts:
MrsB2019x · 06/01/2021 21:35

@krj2688 I am so sorry to hear that 💙 I’m glad you have now got the ball rolling to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Enjoy your baileys and look after yourself the best you can xx

kirinm · 07/01/2021 11:15

@SS123456 how are you feeling? Has your DS had his test back?

Can I ask what your symptoms were? I feel like I've got a head come starting and being in London I'm starting to panic about it being Covid! Hopefully it's nothing as my DD has had a cold for about a month and she tested negative for covid and I've not been around anyone else.

It could also be part of my cycle as I do seem to get a sore throat during the tww for some reason.
