Ovulation/TTC thread 4!

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @GemB03 @MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty @plantbasedlondoner

New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@hoola23 I agree with @MrsRosaline and I'd stop checking. Then over analysing everything will just drive you mental chick, and I know how you feel, because I'm doing the exact same thing. I've been taking a test a day and comparing it to other tests online to compare my lines....and this morning I woke up thinking what will be will be. I can do all the bloody tests in the world, all the cervix and CM checks, and it won't make a difference other than make me worry.

Take every day as it comes, and look after yourself. You are your number 1 priority right now, and if you look after you, then little bean will follow. It's so hard though when you've had a chemical because you can't help but compare, trust me I know.

Sending you loads and loads of hugs. You've got this 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 xxx

@CShandy01 @MrsRosaline thank you so much ladies ❤️ you're so right. I think it's just the whole I'd rather just know regardless of the outcome, the exact same feeling when you're waiting for a BFP! Going to try and make myself busy today. I haven't left the house for 6 days now due to this flu but I'm going to go shopping today for a few bits! X

@hoola23 I know it sounds daft but when I am poorly or if DD has been poorly and we want to leave the house for the first time, I always go to our big tesco 😂 have a mooch around the home stuff, the clothes, go to the cafe etc etc. Wastes about 2 hours including the journey there and back. I love it how my day out is a supermarket sometimes 🤣🤣 what a treat!! Xx

@CShandy01 that's exactly what I'm doing 🤣🤣 I need household crap and Xmas tree decs! Our tree is naked and everything is sold out online!!

@hoola23 Just try relax I'm sure everything will be ok for you.

@CShandy01 how are you feeling

@hoola23 I had spotting with both of my pregnancies which started at 6weeks. Both times caused by bruising to my uterine lining caused by them nestling in. You can spot at any point for a huge number of reasons, so I think your current plan sounds like a great plan!

Sending love x

@Aims1991 I'm ok just wanting to get to a week after AF is due as last time I bled 5 days after AF was due. Once that milestone is here I'll feel a lot more confident (AF is due tomorrow I think!)

DH has suggested taking another clear blue line test on Wednesday to see what the line progression looks like. He knows I'm worried and says it'll help as if it's lighter then we know it's like last time. Honestly man, what a journey!

How are you doing chick? Xx

@CShandy01 yeah I'm doing good. I done my last digital today and it's now moved to saying 2-3.
I'm so paranoid that AF will show but I've been feeling like shit the last few days.

@newtolineofduty @Aims1991 thanks ladies. I've really just got on with things today and was SO good to get out of the house doing so home decor shopping! Still no more spotting so trying to stay hopeful. Plus my boobs are in agony! Can't even wear a bra as my nipples feel like they have 100 papercuts on them!

@hoola23 oh god the boobs is a painful thing. I woke up on the night coz my OH bumped them and I was nearly in tears

Wow @hoola23 that sounds very positive albeit painful!!!!!!

I have a miscarriage rates by day chart that I found SUPER helpful as you can literally see the risk decreasing day by day if anyone would like me to share?

I didn't want to just post it incase people didn't find it helpful! Xxx

@newtolineofduty yes please! Also exhausted today and feeling dizzy. Fell asleep on the sofa this afternoon which is very unlike me. I'm normally always on the go and struggle to fall asleep! So I'm hoping these are signs it's holding on for now!

@hoola23 you sound very pregnant hun! X

@hoola23 I would say your pregnant 💖
@newtolineofduty wow thank you

Ladies, as this is my first. Is it normal to go periods of the day of not feeling anything? I have cramp and bloating for hours then nothing. And when it goes away I get a bit concerned

@Aims1991 of course hun x all your symptoms will come and go and every day will feel different x

@newtolineofduty thanks, feeling something is like reassurance and for the last 3 hours been nothing. Except from the extremely sore boobs 🤣

@Aims1991 I've had that this time and didn't have it last time! It's awful isn't it! X

@Aims1991 with DD I would go from one extreme to the other. From week 6 to 15 I'd be fine in the morning, then I'd be throwing up in the sink, then I'd be shovelling breakfast down my throat, then I'd have horrific back ache, then head ache, then I'd be on the treadmill going at a rate of knots 😂😂 your body is just getting used to what's happening to it. It will all settle down (usually between week 12 and 18 they say) then it's just a case of measuring bump to the point where you scream GET THIS THING OUT OF ME NOW I WANT TO SEE MY FEET AND PUBIC REGION AGAIN!

....literally summed up pregnancy on probably less than 200 words there 🤣🤣 xxx

@newtolineofduty thanks for that information hun! I'm starting to feel way more positive as that horrible stabbing pain I had last time went about 2 days ago, and only comes back when I've hyper extended through exercise. That being said, I'll still feel happier once I've got to a week after AF is due 🙂🙂🙂 xxx

@hoola23 yeaaahhh I'd say you're pregnant and better start trying out the different types of nosecco for Christmas 😂 xxx

@CShandy01 that's great! I had a weird stabbing pain all weekend on and off right where baby is! I'm thinking it's just stretching or something! Glad I've got my scan Tuesday though x

@newtolineofduty @CShandy01 Ok thanks. I have bloating full aches/ cramps just about all day

@newtolineofduty all I know is that I feel a bit crappy today. Sheer exhaustion and painful boobs which I've never experienced before!
