@newtolineofduty you're 100% not out hun! Put down the coffee🤣 only a few more days of this annoying 2ww! X

CShandy01 · 01/10/2021 08:50

@newtolineofduty yeah I'm thinking I'm out too. 10dpo here and I've got my usual pre AF symptoms coming. Just going to wait and see what happens 🙂 I have noticed I have saved a lot of money not buying any type of tests!!!!

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 08:51

@CShandy01 I agree with @newtolineofduty about the whole symptom thing. I really don't think you can rely on these things. Keep the faith!!

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 08:52

@plantbasedlondoner defo not symptom spotting, we're just reporting observations! Totallllllllly different 🤣🤣🤣

plantbasedlondoner · 01/10/2021 14:20

@hoola23 haha yes totalllllly not the same!

@CShandy01 That's interesting about the coffee, it's so tricky as we read into every single thing and I've heard every pregnancy is so different - symptoms are generally unlikely until at least 6 weeks apparently? Last month I was gagging at the smell of fumes or cooked food as I walked down the high street but then AF came which felt so cruel!

@newtolineofduty yesterday was CD 18 but I often have slightly long cycles of 32 days so that means I could have actually ovulated yesterday (if I have a 14 day Luteal phase). DH always gets into it around this time, just when the fertile window is over 🤣

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 17:12

Urgh I'm already bored of the waiting in this TWW! Wish I could fast forward 4 weeks 🤣

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 17:24

@hoola23 times going way too fast for me! I hate those days leading up to AF! 😭😭😭

CShandy01 · 01/10/2021 18:06

@hoola23 @newtolineofduty I actually prefer being at work because the time goes super quickly. That and I don't have access to a toilet all the time so it's less easy to check if AF has arrived 😂😂

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 18:15

@CShandy01 @newtolineofduty yeah when I'm at work I'm too busy dealing with DSL's complaining but as soon as 5.30pm arrives my mind goes🤣

CShandy01 · 01/10/2021 18:18

Well despite prodding my cervix every single day, I haven't caved and bought a test 🤣 rather proud!

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 18:24

That's awesome @CShandy01! How many do you think you would have usually done by now!? X

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 18:26

@CShandy01 that's so good!!! I prob would have done at least 10 cheapies by now if I were you🤣

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 18:53

DP playing on the Nintendo with DSC and DD asleep so I'm going to watch some more one born every minute to distract myself from TTC😂😂😂

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 18:58

@newtolineofduty omg I just put that on channel 4 od! It kept coming up on my fb adverts! Reading my mind🤣🤣🤣

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 19:02

@hoola It's a twin one! X

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 19:08

@newtolineofduty 🤣🤣 honestly, watching this I really am NOT bothered about being pregnant. Stupid as this sounds, I've never really thought about labour too much. There's no chance I would be able to do this. Literally no chance! I would be the worst patient. How do you actually cope?!

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 19:23

@hoola23 same! No WAY could I give birth!!!!!! I had a planned c-section on medical grounds thank god! 😂

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 19:31

@newtolineofduty I thought you were going to reassure me I would survive!🤣🤣🤣 would you have to have a c section next time too?

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 19:40

@hoola23 no I wouldn't have to but I'd like to-it's the least risky option for me for various reasons! I really enjoyed the experience-it was amazing! X

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 19:44

@newtolineofduty if I could have one I would! You're not allowed to ask for it though are you? I know we're designed to do it but I just don't have the pain threshold in me I know it! 🤣

newtolineofduty · 01/10/2021 19:54

@hoola23 you can request one but my understanding is you have to have a pretty good argument as it's much more risky than Labour etc and much more expensive for the nhs! 😂

CShandy01 · 01/10/2021 19:59

@newtolineofduty @hoola23 I LOVED watching one born every minute when I was pregnant with DD. I was obsessed with it! Always thinking "god is it that painful?!" Or "is she really feeling that or faking it?" 😂😂 I didn't want a C-section or an epidural, but equally I said that whatever it will take to get my baby out safely I was prepared to do.

I won't go into too much detail as don't want to put people off, but I ended up asking for an epidural because of how messed up my contractions were. All I can say is THANK GOD I DID! With what happened in the end that epidural was a life saver!!

FirsttimeEm · 01/10/2021 20:18

Hi everyone! I feel like I've missed loads. Hope your all well getting BFP this month. I think I've spend the last week sleeping 🤣

hoola23 · 01/10/2021 20:24

@CShandy01 oh god you're not selling it to me either 🤣🤣 it looks like the early labour is the worst bit as not much happens but you're just in pain for hours!

CShandy01 · 01/10/2021 20:27

@hoola23 basically I was contracting 3 in 10 but the first 2 were one after the other, and I had only dilated 0.5cm in 10 hours 😬😬 and then the little ones heart rate kept dipping, so they were really wanting to get her out. So they gave me an epidural and then syntocinin to kick start my labor faster. And boy did it work!
