Preparing to TTC in 2022 - part 5

[WingingIt09]

Hi ladies, we're onto thread 5! I'm afraid I've completely lost track of the list since I took a break off Mumsnet.... so let's make an updated one!

Roll call for those

• TTC graduates.... pregnant ladies who are you and when are you due? Hope you're all doing well

• Actively trying.... what cycle are we all in? Any particular plans for this next one?

• Waiting to TTC.... what month are you planning on starting?

@DesertSnow thank you xx I'm on knicker-watch duty today.

@lj2022 thank you xx It's not been easy, that said, why pee on a £5 stick when your body will tell you sooner or later anyway? I got so sick of seeing negatives that I just couldn't do it anymore.

Thankyou @PinkButtercups @DesertSnow

@SarahShorty yea I get that a few months I ended up not testing as much. Got everything crossed for you 🤞

@DesertSnow neither of us minded, we wouldn’t have minded one or two 🙂
the lady who scanned me said she would expect to see more in two weeks, and she asked me if i had multiples in my family whilst she was scanning me which i found strange but then it could be me thinking overtime haha.. she didn’t give too much away but one or two, we will be super happy!

@SarahShorty keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Dreamingof3 thank you xx No bleeding so far. I have an FRER ready if still nothing by morning.

@LauraA31 ooh maybe she does think it might be two? Haha

@LucyLoopyLu maybe she does haha, time will tell! I feel so sick today, we went out for tea and everything made me feel horrific.
Boyfriend got me a desert to take home and i have spent the last hour gipping knowing it’s in the fridge 😂😂

I'm so anxious this evening, I'm cramping loads (no bleeding) and I just can't stop myself from thinking that it's going wrong again and I'm going to lose this pregnancy too. I hate this stage of pregnancy 😭

@SarahShorty that is a very good looking bbt chart! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow 🤞🏻

@LauraA31 @lj2022 great news on the scans so pleased for you both!

Really struggling with the nausea at the moment, I've found it hard to keep anything much down the last 2 days and even sipping water just makes me feel so sick 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Tropicana1 thank you xx

@LauraA31 oh no you poor thing, hope you feel less sick soon! It's a horrible feeling isn't it

@Wingingit09 hope you're ok, can totally understand why you're nervous bit cramps are normal aren't they? Sending you lots of good thoughts

@WingingIt09 can completely understand your anxiety, sending love xx

@WingingIt09 😢 sorry to hear that. It must be such a worrying time. Sending all of the hugs and sticky dust your way. x

@LucyLoopyLu yes they are, rationally I know that but they still make me anxious anyway. I'm beginning to wish I accepted the EPU appointment offered for the 8th, I didn't as I start a new job next week and would have had to request time off to attend and I don't know my new manager to know I'm pregnant yet. My appointment on the 12th is on my day off!

@WingingIt09 totally understand, I would probably be exactly the same. Hang in there, we're all here to vent to

Thanks @LucyLoopyLu

Morning ladies xx My BBT is still up, no bleeding, but BFN. It's probably too early or AF is late. I'll try again some point in the next week 😔

Oh Lord, I think I have line eyes. I can see a really, really faint line but it's not being picked up on camera and my eyes can barely see it. DH can even see something. Unfortunately it wasn't FMU because I really needed to pee early this morning and didn't think to take a test with me. AF seems to be on-time according to charts so this is highly unusual. For reference I am 16DPO today.

Apologies for the drop of pee on the end. What do we think?

@DesertSnow thank you. It was actually cycle 3 so happened quicker second time round which I hadn't expected.

@lj2022 aw this is great. Must've been so good seeing baby on the scan. I can't wait for my 12week scan.

@LauraA31 that's great all looks ok and they've booked you back in.

@Tropicana1 that sounds rough poor you. Can you get anything to help that?

@WingingIt09 I can understand why you are feeling like that. Try and be kind to yourself this weekend and do some nice things to keep you distracted

@SarahShorty I can definitely see something. I'd suggest trying a FRER

@SarahShorty I can see that easily! Definitely try a hold and do a frer!

@SarahShorty I can definitely see it! Def do a FRER. How exciting!

@EdinburghGirl1 ah that's great it happened quicker for you this time!

@LauraA31 maybe she does think there's more than one if she said that! Great you'll be back there soon to find out. Sorry about the nausea!

@Tropicana1 Sorry you're feeling so sick too - can you speak to your GP? I've heard ginger can help.

@Tropicana1 I find travel sickness bands helped me before. This time though I had to get anti sickness tablets as I wasn't keeping anything down

Can definitely see a line @SarahShorty

@SarahShorty can 100% see a line!!

@EdinburghGirl1 if it carries on like this I'll call the doctor, struggling to keep anything down at the moment other than a banana every few hours which isn't exactly sustainable and keeping water or juice on board is even harder weirdly. Dont want to get dehydrated etc. definitely have it worse this time, had sickness with my first but don't remember being as bad as this, just intermittent nausea with occasional vomiting then
