Ovulation/TTC thread 4!

[hoola23]

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

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

@Aims1991 doing ok, still no more spotting so starting to feel a tad more positive about this one. No real symptoms apart from feeling a tad queasy when I wake up and still the sore boobs!

I'm looking forward to seeing some more BFP's in a few weeks from the group 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

@hoola23 that's brilliant, just do go looking🙈 yeah a few more BFPs will be good. I have such a sore shoulder today and I have so much anxiety about it

Someone shared this on another thread, and I had to share it here 😂😂 what a way to spice up Christmas!!! Xx

@CShandy01 🤣🤣🤣 I could t think of anything worse than sex right now

Hubs got me these to put my mind at ease. Thought it would only say 1-2 weeks so I'm happy for now. 4 weeks one day today I think. So confused when you work that out as they also take into affect your cycle length which is only 25/26 days for me

@hoola23 woooo😍 I got 2-3 weeks on Sunday. Atleast that's put your mind at ease too. I'm the same cycle days as you

Sorry for the radio silence, it has been a really crappy month at my end! But firstly, congratulations @Aims1991 Wonderful news, I know it is early days for you and @hoola23 but I am so happy for you both. Love hearing your updates.

Was going well with the DTD but DH had an accident at the gym and threw his back out, he was on bed rest for three days and is finally up and walking again but in a lot of pain so going for an MRI tomorrow. The rubbish bit is that I actually seemed to ovulate this month as had lots of EWCM but that coincided with the accident :( I also didn't have a positive on the OPKs despite testing twice a day which was weird. I am wondering whether to ask my GP to do the progesterone test in January to check if I am actually ovulating!

The good news is that without the rubbish work deadlines (although DH's accident has definitely contributed to stress levels!) my cycle seems to be going back to 30 ish days rather than the 40 days I had last month so that is a relief. Really determined to try in the next cycle which will be over New Years. I was so so gutted this time but couldn't exactly hold it against DH. Glad it will be a new year and a new opportunity soon as we have passed the 6 month mark of trying.

How is everyone else doing?

@plantbasedlondoner oh no!!! Your poor DH. Back pain is the worst as you feel so helpless. I hate it! Hope he gets better soon. Bit annoying about the DTD but, it's so helpful sometimes to have a cycle when you're not checking for preg symptoms and you can just work out what your body does etc and so good about your cycle length! I'm sure we will be congratulating you soon! Might be worth getting bloods done just so you know where you're at but some people I know didn't get a peak but still conceived so who knows!

@plantbasedlondoner bless chick it sounds as if you've had it rough recently! And honestly I feel for your DH. When I did my back in September I was in agony. I genuinely believe it was worse than the back ache I had during labour, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone ❤️ and the timing of that really really sucks for you. But at least your cycles are coming back down and it's given your body a chance to almost say "look at me this is what I'm done!" Deffo think the tests might be a good idea, even if it's just to put your mind at rest 🙂 no harm in asking! Have you got any nice plans for Christmas?

@hoola23 fantastic news to see that on the digital!!! That must be a huge relief for you!! 🙂🙂 are you relaxing a little more now? Weirdly enough I felt awesome today. Had a full day of teaching but I managed to get on the treadmill for week 3 of couch to 5k, I've cooked a full blown awesome meal tonight (yes I am Nigella in the kitchen, except no sexy noises and just stains down my top) and I'm just super duper chilled. First time I've felt this in MONTHS!! Xx

@CShandy01 wow that's great, are you having any cramps/bloating or sore boobs? Mine is coming and going but my sore boobs are almost away 😳 not sure if that's good or not tho🙈

@Aims1991 nah not a thing. Boobs don't hurt but look huge, cramps stopped about 3 days ago, I'm always thirsty anyway so that doesn't make much of a difference and because I usually drink 2 litres of water a day I always piss like a horse, so nothing new on the frequent urination 😂😂🤣🤣 xx

Amazing tests @CShandy01 and @hoola23!!!! Fantastic! Glad you're both feeling you can relax a little more now-you beyond deserve it!

We had our 12 week scan today (12+1 according to last period) but I'm measuring 13 weeks so due date bought forward a week! So we've been able to tell everyone today which has been lovely! Xxx

@CShandy01 my biggest issue/symptom is I wake around 5 every morning and can't get back to sleep🤷🏻‍♀️ been like this for over a week now🙄

@newtolineofduty wow I can't believe your 12 weeks already, that feels like it's flown in. How are you keeping

@Aims1991 tired, fat and sick! 😂 x hoping I'm over the worst though xxx

How many weeks/days do you think you are now? X

@newtolineofduty I'm 5 weeks today. But I told my friend the other day because she's a midwife and she think I'm further on than that. We have booked a private scan for next Saturday when I'm over 6 weeks.

@Aims1991 bet you can't wait!!!! Xxx

@newtolineofduty yeah really can't wait. Just hope everything's ok

@Aims1991 crossing everything for you hun xxx

How's everyone doing today? Can't get over how quickly this month is going!!! Xx

@CShandy01 Yeah ok, loads of cramping today. And I now have a weird obsession with fizzy juice, can't get enough irn bru, Fanta or Pepsi🙈 I never drink fizzy juice🤣
How are you?

@hoola23 @CShandy01 thank you both for the lovely messages, really made me feel a lot better and also have a bit more sympathy for poor DH. In a way, I do feel quite relaxed this month as I am not symptom spotting or feeling as anxious about things. It is quite nice to have a month's break in a funny way as I stopped drinking really since TTC but definitely going to have a bit over Christmas. @CShandy01 lovely to hear you are feeling well and full of energy, well done on week 3 of couch to 5K!

@newtolineofduty aww how did it feel getting your scan? So glad it went well lovely and that you could tell all your loved ones - must have been a special moment :)

@Aims1991 so interesting about the craving for fizzy drinks - never heard of that one before! Everyone is so different

@plantbasedlondoner Ano! Very weird🙈, I hope you have a good drink over Christmas

Hi ladies!
Hope everyone is well! Not much going on for me, don't really feel pregnant at all apart from exhausted and slightly queasy in the morning. Boobs have calmed down too so I hope everything is ok! I'm only 4 weeks 6 days so maybe that's normal?!

Got our works Xmas thing tomo and my mates at work will be so suspicious if I don't have a drink so I plan to just hold one in my hand and pretend to sip it 🤣

@plantbasedlondoner I definitely thinking taking a break, even if unplanned, is helpful-just reduces the mental load of it all for a little bit!!!

@hoola23 don't worry about your boobs hun! That's the one symptom of mine that's been REALLY variable each day!!!!! Any more spotting hun?

@Aims1991 I've gone off coke which I usually love and im all about blackcurrent squash! 😂

@newtolineofduty normally I drink litres of blackcurrant juice but I can't hardly drink it now. Fizzy juice has taken over

@hoola23 my boob pain went away and then came back the new day with avengence.
