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

Happy new year everyone! How is 2022 treating you all so far? 💚💚 xxx

Happy new year ladies! We've had a busy one so far! We've had the DSC here for half the holidays so it's been non stop-really don't know how we'll cope with four! 😂 x we have a private gender scan next week and I'm just so excited to see them again! I keep changing my mind about whether I'd prefer a boy or a girl which is a good place to be! 😂😂😂 x

How is everyone else doing? Xxx

Hey everyone! Well 2022 so far is pretty much the same for me. 24/7 vomiting and nausea! Was in bed and asleep by 9.30 last night 🤣 I feel horrific but I'm hoping things may start to ease soon as I'm 8 weeks now.

@MrsRosaline how are you doing? Xx

8 weeks @hoola23 I can't believe it!!!! I'm obviously not envious of how poorly you feel but I'm envious of the weight you'll be losing in contrast to my huge weight gain! 😂

@newtolineofduty the problem is I'm eating loads! Nausea seems to go when I've eaten and then it's about two hours after the vomiting starts. This eve we had a Chinese and I think we're on vomit number 5 now 🤣🤢🤢

Happy new year all, I've been up and down. Had days when I can't eat or drink because of horrible nausea. Then some days feel totally fine. Not been sick once 🙈 hopefully won't be. I'm now just over 8 weeks

Aww gosh @hoola23 you poor thing x just a few weeks to go and you'll be feeling great x

How is everyone feeling? What stages we all at?

@hoola23 I totally understand; that's what it was like for me.

I am on CD5. Waiting for fertile week again 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@MrsRosaline you're so brave going for it again after having HG! I guess it must be worth it after all🤣🤣

Let's make this a positive month for you! Get going as early as possible. Got everything crossed for you! Xxx

Thank you @hoola23. I also spoke to my doctor who is going to do some blood tests and check on the pain I've been having low down on my side since the miscarriage.

Hopefully this is the month!! I thought it definitely was last month because we got the timing right but I've realised that on the days leading to ovulation we did it in the morning, and I got up straight after. I think for best chance I should do morning and evening 😅😱

@MrsRosaline always best to get everything checked out. Hope everything is ok.

I don't think you need to do morning and evening! You'll be exhausted 🤣🤣 just aim for every other day and try and lie down for 15 mins after I think they say. Sometimes we can do EVERYTHING right but those sperms just don't go the right way!

Thanks @hoola23. Fingers crossed everything is ok! I know... my timing has been spot on so it's a bit mind boggling! What did you do? Every other day?

@MrsRosaline I think I tried all variations over the years 🤣🤣 the two times I got pregnant I followed the same pattern. Every other day starting on cd6. Both times I ovulated on cd 13-16 and both times I conceived I never DTD on the day of ov or the days after🤣 could be coincidence but that's what I know worked for me! I think if you do it every other day or every two days at least then you're topping up with sperm to give you the best shot! That's how I used to think of it!

Ah yes I do remember you mentioning CD6 before @hoola23 ! Well it is CD6 for me today, so guess we will get busy tonight 😄

@MrsRosaline the main difference the month we conceived was that we started early too! Think we did day 4,7, 9 then we were into fertile days xxx

Oh cool @newtolineofduty. Did you then do everyday during the fertile week?

How are you doing? Hope all is going well. Xx

@MrsRosaline yes so I then got my peak on day 11 and we did it CD 11 and 12 then stopped!

I've just double checked and we did it day 4,7,9,11 and 12 (peak days). Didn't have any high fertility days! Started with EWCM on day 7 that month which was very early for me. Assuming due to the EPO!

Have you come across ubiquinol? It's a supplement recommended for egg health. I ended up taking that for two months before conception although apparently takes 90 days to make a difference so I don't think success was due to that but helped me feel I was taking control! X

@newtolineofduty
Ah yes I have heard of using evening primrose oil but I was a bit scared to take it! I've also read about ubiquinol but I haven't found one I like. Which one did you use? Hopefully I ovulate earlier this month. I'd love to stop on CD12 but last month it was day 20 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@MrsRosaline this is the one I took x

@MrsRosaline oh cd20 is not fun when you start early!! But, at least you know you're giving it the best shot! I usually ov CD13 and even that was a chore even though average sex sessions was like 4 🤣🤣

Well I'm 8+4 maybe 8+6 today and two days in a row I haven't vomited! I still feel crap but I defo feel more like myself to the point that I cried because I felt semi normal. I am PRAYING this isn't just a down day and it comes back lol

@hoola23 that's wonderful!

So we had a well-being scan today and found out we're having a baby boy!!!!!! One of each-feeling so lucky ❤️❤️❤️ x

I'm trying to upload a pic but it's not letting me! X

@newtolineofduty omg!!!! That's amazing! So happy for you! You thought a boy didn't you!? Have any old wives tails come true for you then now you know the sex?

My gut says boy for me too but I'm not sure why. I don't really think I'm that fussed what I have but if I had to chose I'd prob say girl but that's only because all the kids in the family are currently girls!

I did think boy yes! The only old wives tale that's true @hoola23 is the fact I'm craving savoury stuff and off sweet stuff but that was true of my DD pregnancy!!!! Xxx

Are you going to find out? I don't know how people wait!

The only thing I'm sad about is it means sorting through and getting rid of all DDs baby clothes and that will feel difficult! But it'll be very therapeutic at the same time! We've literally not got rid of ANYTHING for three years so really needs doing! Xxx

We've got a gender reveal cake on order to reveal to the family at the weekend and they have no idea! They think we're not finding out! Xxxx

@newtolineofduty that will be hard getting rid of clothes but maybe donate them to a family in need might make it a bit less difficult?

I don't think I want to know, I don't know why!! I feel like if we do and tell everyone then it's not a surprise when they're born. I'm saying this at 8 weeks though so lots could change 🤣🤣

Oh that's so fun!! They willl be thrilled I'm sure! The gender reveal party does make me want to find out 🤣🤣
