TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

[TheCakeIsALie18]

Hey all!

I'm on several other threads that I'm keeping up with but some of them are a tad long now, so I thought I'd start a new one for people to join.

Ovulation day for me today (30.07.22) so TWW starts officially tomorrow. AF due on the 12th. I have tests in the house, but my goal this month is to keep my mind busy and avoid symptom spotting! I don't plan on testing if I can help it. Want to avoid the disappointment if I can.

We are TTC #1 and we are in cycle 4 now. I had a chemical mid June when we weren't officially TTC but when it happened we realised now was the time to actively try. We wanted it so badly.

So that's a little about me and I would love some company in a slightly smaller thread.

Much love xoxox

@eleveneleven11 haha it doesn't get any less addictive haha. Just be aware of the hook effect if you keep testing for a couple weeks lol. Xxx

Yeah... @Shleepymummy how far along are you now?! Xxx

Hey ladies. How are you all getting on this week? ❤️❤️ xxx

hey @TheCakeIsALie18 🥰

i'm all good thank you. thought i'd share some pictures of this mornings test along with my line progression on cheapies. putting all these tests to good use haha. today i am 17 dpo.

how's everything with you? x

@eleveneleven11 only 17dpo?! Those lines are amazing!!! Do you have twins in your family? 🤣😬❤️

All good here thank you. Counting down the days now until our gender scan next Saturday. Boobs super sore... they've gone up 2 Cup sizes already 😲🙃 xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 lol i actually do have a lot of twins in my family! my sisters are twins and my dad is a twin 🙈

ahhh the pregnancy boobs - definitely something i'm looking forward to as i've got nothing going on! haha. are you feeling pretty normal now that you're into the second trimester? x

@eleveneleven11 eeeeeek I'd almost put money on you having twins with those lines so early haha. Are you going for an early private scan?

To be fair I felt pretty normal all the way through so far haha. The only thing is growing boobs which hurt like hell and now I just look like I've eaten a massive meal lol. Sooooo puffy and bloated. Shouldn't be long now before bump starts looking like a bump haha. I used to wear 36B I'm now sitting in a 36-38D. Won't be long till that fills out though... xxx

🙈! i'm obviously grateful for whatever happens but i'd be lying if i said i wouldn't be relieved if there was just one in there! we shall see. we will be having an 8 week scan so will of course keep you posted.

fab that you've felt normal! hope it continues for you 🥰 getting a bump will be so exciting. have you been taking any progress pics? x

Hey @TheCakeIsALie18I'm still trekking on 😂 4dpo so not too much to report! How're you? What do you think you might be having?

Beautiful progression @eleveneleven11 you must be so happy!

Where on earth is everyone else @Shleepymummy @Hannargh @MumofAlf hope everyones okay!

@eleveneleven11 I can't wait to hear if you're having one or two haha.

Thanks! Yeah I've been taking progress pics. I'm definitely growing. My boobs are two sizes up and it's obvious I'm not used to their size... was training in the gym this morning and was doing a barbe hang pull (think an upright row if you're not familiar) and as I lifted the barbell it would normally have just lifted over my boobs... nope I smashed it straight through my nipples... owwwwieeeee!!! Xxx

@Nypie hang in there. Those days will tick by! I'm hoping so bad to have a little girl. I've send all my scans to various pros that work with the different gender prediction theories lol and they've all said girl... so I have everything crossed. I can't wait for Saturday but shit I'm nervous! I'm worried I will cry if it is a boy lol. Xxx

Hey everyone! Thanks for asking @Nypie I'm doing well. Been busy getting some house stuff sorted so haven't been on here for a while (a baby is good motivation for getting things done!)
Coming up to 11 weeks now and got my 12 week scan on 8th Nov. So not long to go now. Things are still pretty mild - sore nipples and reduced appetite, but otherwise feeling good, which still makes me worried but what can you do except wait it out? My sister in law had bad nausea in the first trimester and is now in the third trimester with bad nausea again, so I definitely can't complain!

That's some wonderful line progression @eleveneleven11 and so strong too. Hopefully this is the one! And like @TheCakeIsALie18 says, twins??

Hope you get your girl @TheCakeIsALie18 but I'm sure you'll be excited for the outcome either way xx

@Hannargh urghhhh putting me to shame. We have so much stuff to do in the house and haven't started yet lol. Need to spend several weekends getting our arses in gear haha. I'm glad it's going well for you though! Welcome also to the no nasty symptoms club haha. I worried early on that things weren't right because I didn't have anything but eventually just accepted it. My mum and grandma didn't suffer either but my mums sister did lol. Xxx

@eleveneleven11 congrats on your tests! Must be a nice relief to see all those strong lines! As for twins…well getting 2 done at once saves you having to go through it all again I guess?!? Let us know when you know! Did you say you are having an early scan? Think you did?

@Hannargh bet you’re excited for your scan, nearly there!! Sore nips are never fun, but if otherwise all ok that’s great news! Enjoy it!

I have horrific morning sickness, got some medication but it doesn’t do much I don’t think. Lots of shooting pains in my boobs, mainly left side so probs guna be lop sided 🤣. All in all not loving these first 10 weeks so far but pushing through!

how you doing @Nypie? Are you going to test before Af or wait it out?

@Shleepymummy oooh noooo I'm sorry you're struggling with morning sickness. Try ginger if you can stomach it. Ginger nut biscuits are supposed to work wonders! Have you had an early scan at all or are you waiting for your 12 week? Xxx

Ah I feel you @TheCakeIsALie18 I would love a little girl I hope you get one but you'll think its the best thing since slice bread when it arrives eirher way.

Sounds like you're keeping busy @Hannargh and not long to wait! Hope the scan goes well.

Aw bless you @Shleepymummy hope it settles soon! I'm alright thanks good days and not so good days. I don't really have a testing plan for once 😂 I'm monitoring my lh for some reason so that might just stop me from peeing on anything else.

@Nypie of course I will love whatever we have lol. But I think I'm driving myself crazy looking at my 12 week scans... everyone I've spoken to has said girl lean. I'm now zooming in to what look like a hamburger haha. I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed 🤣🤣

@TheCakeIsALie18 😂😂😂 give that baby some privacy! whispers looks promising.

@Nypie 🤣🤣🤣 I can't help myself lol. I can't get over how worried I am about being upset with it being a boy. It's completely irrational. Please tell me other people have preferences and this weird fear 😪 xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 my best friend really wanted a girl and ended up with a boy. he's the most perfect thing ever obvs but i think if she doesn't end up with a girl next time round she'll be devastated 🤣

@eleveneleven11 thanks lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one haha. Obviously as long as whatever we have is healthy I don't care. But there is still that fear there!! Only a few more days to wait! Xxx

Wow I have missed so much of this chat!! Congrats to everyone on their BFP's etc ❤️ when's everyone due ?

I'm 16 + 2 now with a little boy 💙 wasn't shy in showing us he was a boy!

Anyone got any scans ?

Bahaha that is one solid clue you're having a boy @xttcbabyno1x - congratulations! How have you been?

I'm around 11 weeks at the moment. Waiting "patiently" for my first scan next week. Due towards the end of May but also waiting to see what our dates are at the scan.

@Hannargh definitely! He was not shy bless him 😂

I've been okay thanks lovely had really bad morning sickness until yesterday and today that has calmed down thankfully !!

Amazing!! What day is your scan next week? Congrats that's amazing to be nearly 12 weeks xx

Oh good @xttcbabyno1x hopefully you're out the other side of it now.

Next Tuesday, so just got to hold out a bit longer. Husband is coming too and I suspect he will be the first to cry (although I saw some trick or treaters out on Monday and got teary - definitely got some hormones somewhere!) Things have been pretty quiet for me symptom wise, so I'm a little nervous about next week, but what can you do except hope for the best.

@Hannargh I hope so!

Don't worry too much about symptoms as I have friends who are also pregnant and not had any symptoms at all and everything is fine xx

Are you planning on trying to see if you can see the nub? Xx

@xttcbabyno1x so we are thinking of just not finding out, as my MIL is very into buying pink or blue things before the baby arrives. If we don't know and she doesn't know, then she can't do anything 😏
Although if we end up with a scan pic like yours all mystery will definitely be taken away.
