@abbs1 you have a lot more will power than me 👍🏻
Oh no 🤞🏻 you don't have it this time! I had bad sickness but not HG so I really feel for you!
I'm not on any vitamins atm just thought we'd see what happened and I quickly fell down the rabbit hole 🙈 had a few early losses the last few months so maybe the vitamins would help...no idea why I haven't started taking any I didn't even think about it!

@Confused678866 thank you 🥰

@amyannx I'm sure everything will be fine 🤞🏻 for you :)

@amyannx Yeah I'm like that too.. I think it's natural to be isn't it!. It's the initial weeks where you haven't had a scan or appointments anywhere etc.
When will you call your GP? Xx

@Confused678866 yeah your so right it is isn't it! I think I will call Monday, my partner wants to do a digital on Saturday and I'm going to test up until then and as long as it's all well will call Monday as af technically is due Saturday x

@amyannx Yeah I'm going to do another couple of tests tomorrow and Friday and I think as long as there is more progression, I might call them on Friday. Are digitalis less sensitive? I might try one xx

@Confused678866 yeah I think they are less sensitive I did one with my son the day after and got 1-2 weeks pregnant but that was after af so my partner wants to wait the day af was suppose to be here first x

@dunkedbiscuit I hope it helps. When i had hyperemesis (HG) I was on 4 different medications and in hospital nearly everyday for the 1st 5 months on iv medication and fluids. In the end i had to have steroids and anti blood clotting injections just to stop me being sick as i couldn't even hold water down for 5mins. It was horrendous. Im hoping that by building my body up with vitamins it will help. Also there's a new anti sickness drug that has passed testing so im waiting to speak to my gp about prescribing it for when i get my bfp that is meant to help stop the nausea.
@firsttimemummy321 oh no. Im so sorry. I really hope you get good news really soon. We lost our first baby and it was really hard on us so i feel very blessed to have a child. Sending big hugs X

Hi hope I'm okay to join🙈
I've confused my self as I've been using the clearblue advanced and the clearblue advanced connected. According to the advanced I had my peak on the 30th April (see Flo app where I've logged it) but according to the connected my peak is yesterday and today as it's 48 hours. I'm so confused and feeling very emotional about it. However I did have bad cramps yesterday so was fearing AF but she's not made an appearance. I have been googling and apparently the pains could be ovulation but I'm really not sure.

Hi everyone, jumping in if that's okay!

On cycle 2 trying for first baby. Cycles are 28-34 days so tracking ovulation is a must for me.....currently on cycle day 15 patiently waiting for a smiley face on cb test, exciting to read through everyone's journeys so far this month!!

Anyone else around ovulation point of cycle? Dtd on demand is tricky for us and other half feels the pressure so hoping that doesn't slow things down.

Also new to this forum so apologies if I don't know all the abbreviations

@amyannx Yes I don't blame you! I think I'll pick one up and maybe try it the weekend 🤞🏻 xx

Welcome @gimmeavino

It sounds like we are almost in the same stage now. We are cycle 1 for baby #1 and I should be ovulating any day now (Friday according to my app) so I'm also using cb and hoping for a smiley.

I don't know if things feel more normal by the second cycle, but at the moment the idea that we could actually be making a baby is still very surreal to me.

@BabyFeet92 - I still have that same feeling! I have a habit of looking ahead (probably an unhealthy habit!) so think oh wow we could make a baby now and I'd be heavily pregnant at Christmas...very strange imagining that could happen but also exciting!

@gimmeavino I'm currently waiting on ovulation too, on day 14 and still getting a low reading on OPKs so hopefully in the next few days!
@babyfeet92 it's all very exciting! Fingers crossed 💕

@Confused678866 congrats ✨

@gimmeavino CD11 for me so hopefully ovulation at the weekend. Last month was CD12. But hoping ovulation holds off to Sunday so I can go see my DP this weekend who's working away. If it comes before fri then I'm out this month 😩 x

@gimmeavino Haha! I do exactly the same.

@Twinkles18 holding thumbs that the reading picks up soon! :)

[quote SkaterChick]@Fiep I feel you, now my partner and I have decided to try and get pregnant I want to be pregnant now 😂 I am not enjoying this whole it takes time thing. I'm such an inpatient person and when I want something I want it then.[/quote]
Exactly the same here - it took us a long time to make the decision, and now I want to be pregnant IMMEDIATELY - I'm planning for a certain type of life now, so it had better happen! We already have a cot!

Big congratulations @amyannx and @Confused678866 on your BFPs lovely news to catch up on!xx
AF finished today for me, so will start on the opks tomorrow or next day I think, don’t want to waste them by using too early as my app says my fertile week is next week!
@Twochews78 when are you going to start testing?xx

@justwant2beamum @Willow1982 Thank you ☺️ good to luck on your journeys! 🤞🏻 xx

@Willow1982 I started last night, my app says that I’m ovulating in 5 days too, so I need to get cracken with the old dtd. I don’t feel like I have got a positive sign of ovulation in the last couple of months, so I’m hoping I do this month. I just need to better at testing at the same time everyday. xx

@Willow1982 thank you, good luck to you this cycle x

@Twochews78 what time of day will you be testing? My clear blue monitor says morning but do you know if it’s best to test later in the day?
Fingers crossed you get to see a peak, at least you know then, if not cover all bases and dtd as much as poss!!xx

Hi all,

Feeling SUPER anxious about this TWW for some reason - and the whole thing in general! I feel like I’m just stuck on pause if that makes sense? AF isn’t due until 17th May so got a long time to go yet.

Sending lots of luck and baby dust to everyone x

Hi all hope you don't mind me joining! I'm cycle 5 TTC and looking for mutual support - it's lonely out there TTC! Using clearblue advanced monitor for the second month - shout with your experiences of this!

Also bear with me on the acronyms. Trying to get my head round them!

So I caved this afternoon and tested 11DPO.
BFN and now I’m feeling very deflated😔

@Meg9717 Ah, that sucks. I feel your pain. I'm 10dpo today and got the whitest of all white bfns, plus no symptoms at all. It really got me down this morning. But, we're technically not out until AF arrives!*

*I'm struggling to believe this myself today!

I've been using easy@home ovulation tests but wondering if I should give something else a go this month - would anyone recommend anything in particular?
