[sunflowersaremyfav93]

Hi ladies

I've tagged as many as I could find, some of us are trying, some have had BFPs... here's to a lucky thread. 🤞🏻

@Wowthisisreal From what I understand once you get EWCM it's time to go baby dance (I thought only once a day because of sperm quality) but because a perm can live inside the woman for up to 5 days it's good to DTD during FW week. I also read that OPKs only detect the LH surge but temping as well would help pinpoint O.
I had the same issue this month, I was going by what my app said, ended up O on CD17 by that point we'd DTD every day and we were knackered and couldn't do it anymore.
I said to my OH I don't understand how people get pregnant after one night stands?? There is so much to it.
Did you have an easier time with DC1?
We'll be in the TWW together at least.. we can try keep eachother sane.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 DC1 we fell pregnant first cycle so this is all new to be tbh.

Waiting to test is SO HARD. Had a dip in BBT this morning so I'm hoping it's implantation dip and it goes back up tomorrow 🤞
AF not due for another 6 days yet! Driving myself crazy 😂

@SendmetoFlorida I'm only 1dpo and I'm already thinking how early can I test 😩
It's sooo hard isn't it

Thanks @sunflowersaremyfav93 and @SendmetoFlorida I brought some cheapie tests yesterday and seeing the two lines somehow seemed more real than the word pregnant on a digital lol. But this weekend the morning sickness has suddenly kicked in, feeling so queasy 🤢 so I do feel a bit calmer than I did! 😂
@NewbieB fingers crossed it all settles down soon. When do you plan on testing again?

@Kayeyeem don't worry about spotting, apparently it's not very common. I had two more incident by spotting during weekend. One occasion I was convinced I am misscarring and cried my eyes out. But since then nothing. I want to be positive and think this one sticks but as soon as I get a bit of pain in my tummy or back I freak out. have no other symptoms to actually help me relax, lol.

@NewbieB I wish all spotting and bleeding stop now and can enjoy rest of the pregnancy.

Hi ladies. Hope all is well with you all. So just a quick update from me. I am now 2 days late. I did a cheapy test this morning and it picked up nothing. I have cramping in my lower pelvic area and in my lower back. My boobs are fuller too and I have slight nausea but nothing major. I also have some sort of creamy discharge. I went back to work today so have something now to distract me from what is going on. So I will probably wait until closer to the weekend to test but a clear blue digital test. I am sort of worried its something not pregnancy related as my cycle is always 29/30 days since I came off my pill over 2years ago. And then last month it was 26 days and now its disappeared again...

Hi Ladies!!

Sorry for the absense! I have been so busy at work!

Hope you are all doing well

@velam Try not to worry too much, brown spotting is old blood and usually is fine

@kayeyeem you are a couple of days ahead of me, I am 4w4d today (although if I go by ovulation I am actually 5w today) I hope you are feeling a bit better now! Its only natural to worry. Try to relax as much as possible.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I realise this is late but I wouldnt worry about being out based on your timing, you covered your bases with plenty of sex so I think you are well in with a chance! How is your TWW going?

@newbieb glad the drs said its fine! keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope you feel a bit better soon!

@wowthisisreal I usually ovulate the day after my static which makes the day after that 1DPO.

@sendmetoflorida keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@princesscallie ooo fingers crossed for you too!!

Not much going on with me to be honest! I am just waiting for this week to be over as its around this time last time that I started spotting and miscarried a few days later so feeling very anxious. Although my boobs have got quite heavy and not so much sore, but tender to the touch and my nipples hurt! My OH has also noticed that my body temp is really warm recently. Im having the mildest of sickly feeling today, so wonder if its going to kick in soon. Me and OH have decided if we manage to make to to the 6w mark, we are going to book in for a private scan at around 7wks! I dont think I can wait for the NHS one, itll drive me insane!

Wishing all you guys in your TWW best of luck and cant wait to see some more BFPs this month!!!

BFN :(
Used early test and period due Friday/Sat. Am I out for this month 😩

@SendmetoFlorida I'd try again later in the week. You just never know.

I am now 3 days late. I did a clearblue digital test just now and it's not pregnant. I've no idea what's going on. If I don't get my period before Friday I'm going to call the doctor because the cramps in my tummy are quite severe at times. Also for 2 years my period has been like clockwork so now we have decided to try for another one I don't understand what is going on? Short cycle last month, long cycle this month! Feeling a bit deflated this morning.

@CookieMonster3001 hopefully you'll start to relax once this week passes! X

@SendmetoFlorida I think it's too early to test lovely, I'd hold out till Thursday at least. Did you ovulate on time this month?

@princesscallie I'd be feeling the exact same, have you googled it at all?

@CookieMonster3001 I am trying to jeep occupied, work is really busy atm so that helps but I'm already thinking about how I can't wait to test. I just need to remember anything I'm feeling atm at 3/4dpo isn't anything. I'll start the pineapple from tomorrow, I read that that's good to eat from 5-10dpo.

@mackjm20 Haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is ok xx

Ladies - I can't remember if we've had this discussion before.
Will you be getting the vaccine if
A) not pregnant but trying
B) pregnant

I've looked up the guidance on the NHS website and it seems as though the guidance is that it's ok to get it? I know we should be guided by the medical professionals but I feel uneasy about getting it, which may be completely wrong.

Had an awkward conversation with my MIL yesterday lunchtime, we were speaking about my SIL wedding in Sept in Spain and how we might be required to get the vaccine to fly.

She knew my feelings about the vaccine and TTC so I felt like she was probing me for my thoughts so I ended up being 100% transparent (now regretting) but I told her we're actively TTC and I don't know if I feel comfortable getting it to go to the wedding because I could very well be pregnant by then. She was understanding to be honest but it felt very odd if you know what I mean.

Interested to hear your views on the vaccine and TTC and being pregnant.

@CookieMonster3001 it turns from brown spotting to more pinky.
it is so stressful, as it fills the tissue and few drops later then stops for 24 hr, then all again. every time I see it I panic and tears come. EPU booked me in for scan tomorrow, I really hope to hear some good news tomorrow and all this spotting go away.
I hope this week goes amazingly for you.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I was reading and watching some stuff about this. Apparently 20,000 pregnant lady took vaccine in USA and till now there are no registered side effect on babies but I guess too early to say if there are any or not. I wouldn't know what I would do if I carried on being pregnant but if TTC I would get it probably.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 it might be worth following doctorpavan on instagram if u have it. She has been putting a lot of info regarding the vaccine and TTC. Personally if I was not pregnant I would get the vaccine as there is no evidence it effects fertility and this goes for if I was actively TTC. Now pregnant, I wont be getting it as the advice is to only get it while pregnant if your high risk or your job involves you working in the frontline. As an office worker, I rarely leave the house so dont think I would really need it. I will be getting it after birth once safe to do so.

@velam hope your EPU visit goes well fingers crossed for you that everything is OK.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I'd 100% get the vaccine if I was TTC and not yet pregnant. And I think I'm willing to get it whilst pregnant so long as I'm past 12 weeks (which I now am). But the later the better. If I got offered it roughly around the same time as the whooping cough vaccine then I think I'd take it. Having looked at the science behind it I can't see anything that logically could harm a growing baby, but will feel more comfortable once there's some data to back it up.

Thanks ladies that's all really reassuring and good to hear, there is so much information flying about so it's hard to know what is right and wrong.
If I'm TTC then I think I'd be happy to but if pregnant I wouldn't, like you @CookieMonster3001 I work in an office so WFH means I don't really leave the house anyway. I'll look up that Insta page as well, thank you!!

@princesscallie think I will hold off for a few more days and see if AF shows. Fingers crossed all goes okay with you! Must be v frustrating not knowing what's going on :(

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I OV'd a bit later on day 17. Today is 11DPO. Might try again on Thursday or see if I can hold out potentially for AF!
Also I think I would get the vaccine if evidence supports it being safe - work in a secondary school and before Xmas covid had spread like mad but luckily I didn't seem to catch it. Might get my turn for vaccine by the time the summer hols come around 😂

@sunflowersaremyfav93 meant to say would probably get it either TTC or pregnant unless advised otherwise

Hi all having a bit of a low week. It was my birthday the other day and I'm just feeling old lol also I hate the fact that I feel like sh*t but just have to carry on as normal for another 7 weeks before I can explain to anyone why 😩 Sorry just feeling fed up and tired! I'm now 5 weeks +1 and my cravings have kicked in...ice cold apple juice 🧃😂 I had it with my 1st too, it's all I wanted.
@SendmetoFlorida fingers crossed it's still too early for you!
@princesscallie how frustrating! Hope the drs can give you some answers!
@sunflowersaremyfav93 I won't be getting the vaccine until I've given birth. I don't work so am at home the majority of the time anyway.
@velam fingers crossed the EPU can give you some reassurance that things are ok. Let us know how you get on.

Hi beauties 😁

Just had an early scan for reassurance -
Little bean is doing well, and where he's meant to be

In fact the ultrasound has dated me as 9wks today (8wks4days is according to LMP) but she did say the official dating scan will be the scan at 12wks

Now I'm kinda freaking out that there's a reason for these symptoms !! 😂😂😂

Little bean needs to keep busy for another few weeks until the 12/13wks scan... hoping to get scan just before Easter weekend so we can officially announce over Easter

Now to go officially meet the midwife for the booking in appt...

❤️ baby dust to all

@Kayeyeem Happy Birthday . It went well, they said baby is in right place with expected size and seen heartbeat. Bleeding also stopped since Monday. So I take all this as a good sign and try to relax more now morning sickness started too which is not nice but kind of reassure me baby is there (weird I know lol).

@gems05 wow, that's amazing. Congratulations

Auntie Flo is here 😭
Onto the next cycle!!
