@Alice1608 aw nice, that's a big age gap too, but I get the feeling scared. I had a really rough delivery with my DD and it's scared us too, it took a good while for us to decide on having another. Shes 3 now, but we really want her to have a sibling.
Thank you, was just having one of those nights, husband and daughter both winding me up 😂 won't bore you with the details, today is a new day so let's start a fresh!

Hello @canonlyhopexo and @Crazycatlady19 🙋🏼‍♀️

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 07:57

@MamaSJ15 aww bless you! Well like you said, new day today! Lol xxx

alwaysseeingstars · 24/08/2022 09:04

Welcome to all the new arrivals and good luck!! @Crazycatlady19 love the name, fellow crazy cat lady here 😻
@Tropicana1 still just incredibly tired, although since waking this morning have felt mildly dizzy/seasick whenever I move so am wondering if it's the start of the morning sickness... DH has severe anxiety over people being sick so have given him warning 😂
@MrsCristiano you've certainly given it a good go so fingers crossed for you!
@MamaSJ15 sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday, hopefully a better one today!

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 09:56

So day 3 and 7DPO) of symptoms now and these are now, cramping, nausea, bloating, not hungry, gas and constipation 🤣 I'm hoping this is all a good thing and I'm not just making it all up in my head! Also resisting the urge to continually test as I know its too early! Lol xxx

Crazycatlady19 · 24/08/2022 11:53

Morning everyone (more like afternoon now). I have 2 cats and have never had pets prior to them so I treat them like babies. One of them loves me but is scared of anyone else (drives DH mad) and the other is a dreadful scavenger! Both rescue cats.

Trying to forget it's 7DPO today. I feel things, think I'm going mad (sore boobs, cramping etc) then think most people have said they haven't felt a thing when pg. I'm refusing to psych myself out today and won't test before AF is due. Spent waaaaay too much money and energy on testing early last month....

Work is ridiculously busy so that keeps my mind off it all to an extent.

I have one DD already (3) and she's a good girl but a toddler so all the stress that comes along with that and a full time job where I work nearly 50 hours a week. 😝

Crazycatlady19 · 24/08/2022 12:44

Gahhhhh! Really dizzy....

I feel this so much. I'm also 7dpo and I keep feeling nauseous especially with food but I don't know if that's because I had an unrelated doctors appointment today or if it's like a placebo effect?

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:01

Omg I'm 7DPO and I'm feeling things too! I feel like I'm going mad now though! 😒 xxx

Crazycatlady19 · 24/08/2022 13:03

I'm chalking mine up to imagining it! (I don't want to feel stupid when I test negative in a week's time...! 🙀)

MamaSJ15 · 24/08/2022 13:25

@Crazycatlady19 @Alice1608 the cycle that I had all the symptoms ended up being not pregnant. For me it seems the less symptoms the better! With my DD I had nothing until day after AF was due and then I just had lower back ache and light cramps and the month I had a miscarriage I also didn't have symptoms. I'm pretty sure our body plays tricks on us! I'm hoping all these things are good signs for you guys but it wasn't for me specifically unfortunately!
I'm currently CD13, still low on OPKs so thinking ovulation may not return to day 14 yet but you never know, will keep testing!

ngnecftn · 24/08/2022 13:29

I now seem to have a metallic taste but I feel like implantation hasn't happened yet as my temp is 36.9? So clearly imagining it all

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:36

@Crazycatlady19 @MamaSJ15 I feel like I may be imagining it all now! Maybe I am..
Is your temp supposed to be higher when you're pregnant? As I'm only 36.5 xxx

Crazycatlady19 · 24/08/2022 13:47

I don't do BBT so not sure @Alice1608 . Bet loads of other lovely ladies would know though.x

MamaSJ15 · 24/08/2022 13:50

@Alice1608 I honestly can't remember about temp. I temped when TTC my first child but not with this one as it wouldn't be pointless, getting up at random times to deal with a toddler haha. Maybe just Google it. But I think it's still too early to tell for you at this point in your cycle.

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:50

@Crazycatlady19 this is what I was thinking. Because I don't do BBT, I don't know if this is high for me or not. I just know I'm within the range and am currently in aircon because I hate the heat! Lol xxx

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 13:51

@MamaSJ15 all things are pointing to being patient till next week and testing if I miss a period lol wahhhh! Lol xxx

alwaysseeingstars · 24/08/2022 14:49

@Alice1608 @Crazycatlady19 @ngnecftn I got my BFP at 8dpo in the evening, had a lot of symptoms (worst were awful acne and acid reflux) but personally I would recommend waiting as long as you can to test, partially because a lot of pregnancies won't show up that early, and partially because the stress of wondering if I'd have another chemical in those really early stages was somehow worse than the not knowing!

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 15:33

@alwaysseeingstars omg massive congratulations!!!! Xxx

alwaysseeingstars · 24/08/2022 15:47

@Alice1608 thanks, @Tropicana1 and I are sticking around on here as everyone is so lovely - hopefully we'll bring some good luck to the thread!! xx

Alice1608 · 24/08/2022 15:57
