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

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

Heyyy @LittleDoveLove i have been trying to respond for days but I can’t access the thread on the app so I’ve logged in via web.

congratulations! So happy for you. 🎉 Hope this one sticks for you. Did you do anything different? Were you taking ubiquinol like me?

I will be te

…sting in a few days! Oops posted to soon.

Hi @MrsRosaline yes I've had trouble logging in to past threads today I ended up having to delete the app and restart!

Yes Life Extension Super Ubiquinol COQ10 400mg a day I took. Except the odd few days I forgot and ended up just taking 200mg! I also did mostly the intermediate plan from It Starts with the Egg, I took a vitamin D (boots) a Vitamin C (also boots) and Vitamin E (solgar) and Together Health pregnancy tablets as they had natural folate rather than folic acid - as well as the Super Ubiquinol. I was rattling a bit!

I also barely drank any alcohol since Christmas and have been getting much more sleep. I think that has probably helped. I did have reflexology in the 2WW this time which I usually have prior to ovulation. Not sure if that helped too.

I will cross everything you @MrsRosaline let us know!🤞 x

Aww @LittleDoveLove. How are you getting on? Did you work out which day you ovulated on?

My period has shown up this evening ☹️ I feel frustrated that another month we've failed, but at the same time I knew we would because I ovulated late and we had stopped DTD by the time I eventually ovulated. Argh!

Hi @MrsRosaline I'm sorry, next month will be your month 🤞. It really is hard with the ovulation timing. Remember those sticks I used - what a nightmare that was! I'm sure they helped me miss my window rather than find it.

I think probably CD17 for me but did have a small dip at CD14 - I've booked an early scan for next Thursday. I've had cramps still every day from 7 days DPO and keep doing tests to make sure. I didn't have cramps with DS at all it's making me a bit uneasy.

Are you going to keep with the COQ10 and reflexology? I've heard fertility acupuncture meant to be brilliant. I know a couple of people who did that. That was on my list but I was finding it hard to get a slot when not in work or not looking after DS.

Any ladies on here 7dpo? So close, yet so far from the end of this tww 😩

Hope everyone is doing ok 🥰

How are you doing @LittleDoveLove ?? How was the scan? X

Hi @MrsRosaline all ok here, scan is Thursday. 6 weeks today I think. Don't have many symptoms tbh - relatively mild completely different to DS where I felt awful from day 1. I keep doing tests to check and they come up straight away. The cramps have mostly stopped and just a bit of nausea in the morning with a mild headache and starting to get tired middle of day.
How are you feeling? Are you tracking this month? X

Hi everyone! How are we all doing? I’ve been trying to get back into this for ages, but my app for some unknown reason doesn’t work and I couldn’t find any new messages on the thread 😩 hope everyone is going well xxx

Hi @CShandy01 good here thank you, I'm 6+3 I think but I have a reassurance scan tomorrow and am nervous! Feel more uneasy after the chemical last year. I feel very different to DS where I felt awful from Day 1. How are you doing? X

Good luck @LittleDoveLove will be thinking of you! Let me know how you get on.

Hey @CShandy01 how are you??

Hi @MrsRosaline she thinks I'm a bit earlier than what I thought so around 5-6 weeks, she could see sac and yoke and start of something but no heartbeat so need to go back in a couple of weeks to check. So that will be a stressful 2 weeks 🤞 it will all be ok. This happened with DS as well
How are you? X

Hey @LittleDoveLove. Good news that they could see the sac. Same thing happened with my friend and a week later the heartbeat was there! Is this a private scan? I hope this one sticks for you - the chances are it will!!

Hi @MrsRosaline yes private one. There is a yoke in the sac so hopefully it will develop - I am a worrier at the best of times! I did worry I was going a bit early but wanted reassurance for holiday which has had opposite effect! I keep doing tests and they come up immediately before the test line each time so hoping all is going as it should.
Will be a long 2 weeks. Hoping EPU will give me an early scan but I'm on holiday at the moment so can't do much for another week other than keep doing tests!
How are you getting on? X

@MrsRosaline we were on a thread together a couple months ago and you recommended wild nutrition vitamins, well me and DH took them for 6 weeks and they worked!! So thank you xxx

That's fantastic news congratulations @MrsGrealish!! I switched brand last month and really noticed it so I went back to them this month. Really love them and they don't mess with my body. Very happy they worked for you 🙂

How are you @LittleDoveLove??

I'm CD20 and only just ovulated 🙄

Hi @MrsRosaline fingers crossed for this month for you 🤞. I am good I am feeling more tired and queasy now but still early on. I have the private scan later in the week so hoping everything is going as it should. X

Hey everyone! The app won’t let me post! Hoping this works, and if so will send a more detailed message! X

It’s worked! Looks like I may need to use the website rather than the app although that didn’t work the other day!

@LittleDoveLove all the best for the next scan-what a torturous wait 😭 x

@MrsRosaline how are you doing?

Im 36+2 and c-section booked for 39 weeks! Xx

Hey everyone!!! I thought I’d been banned from mumsnet haha the app doesn’t work anymore so also had to go online! Had no notifications until this morning either?!

@LittleDoveLove amazing news! Hope everything with your scan goes well x

@MrsRosaline how are you doing hun? X

@newtolineofduty oh wow! I’m so excited for you!! Not long till you’ll have your little boy in your arms!! So amazing!

im 28 weeks now so still a way to go sadly. Really have not enjoyed pregnancy so I’m counting the weeks down! It really is an experience!

sending lots of love to everyone! X

@hoola23 this is my first notification too! Aww hun are you still very sick? I’m much more uncomfortable than I was last time. He’s transverse so his head is right under my rib cage so it’s near impossible to get comfortable in any position! Xx

Sickness stopped around week 22 but then I randomly get days when I just throw up and have nausea all day. So annoying. But wayyyy better than the beginning so I can’t moan too much

now it’s pelvic pain in my pubic area which is the oddest feeling and so bloody painfu - I feel about 80 years old when I walk, carpal tunnel in both hands which stops me sleeping And really impacts my ability to work And 24/7 heartburn. That’s it so far haha I’m under OT and physiotherapist but really I don’t think it will get better until this little one makes his appearance

to top it all off I must be about 45 stone now too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@hoola23 ive gained 4.5 stone it’s really awful! Did you say you’re having a boy or do you now know!? Sorry to hear you’ve been I’ll throughout. Pregnancy is sold as this magical experience and the reality is so different! Me and DP are in separate bedrooms now as I’m so uncomfortable
i need to stretxh out! X

@newtolineofduty I bet mines more haven’t been weighed since before I ever got pregnant but I can tell by my expanding hips and fat face 🤣🤣

yez we’re having a boy! I didn’t want to find out but husband convinced me. I always thought it was a boy but the confirmation made me feel closer to him I think?

pregnanxy has defo been an experience that’s for sure! As much as I’m looking forward to meeting baby I’m more excited to not be pregnant! The worst thing is that hubby keeps asking would I have another and if so we should have them close together. Felt like slapping him 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@hoola23 totally agree I think it makes them
a real little person when you know their sex and so easier to feel that connection! My friends who had awful pregnancies have taken a couple of years to even consider the idea of being pregnant again but I think evolution will make you forget! Or at least forget enough to have enough! How are the teens feeling about it all? Our brood are all very excited although I think my three year old will be disappointed at how little newborns actually do! 😂
