Preparing to TTC in 2022 part 6

[WingingIt09]

Hello and welcome to thread 6! You guys are all amazing, can't believe the thread is still going! Congrats to those with BFPs and baby dust to those who are trying! Xx

@Jade57 16 weeks today, the place we went does gender scans from 15 weeks.
We had a scan at 9 weeks too and it's kind of a cross between a blob and a baby at that point 😂 took our girls to the gender one though and they loved it and got to hear the heartbeat which amazed them

@Dreamingof3 awwww that sounds amazing! We're hoping to book a 4d scan to bring my little girl but I will look into the gender scan first. We already have one of each, didn't find out with them so it's so exciting to find out this time

@Dreamingof3 congratulations on your little girl 💗

@Theawkwardblonde sorry you're struggling with HG! Hope you get some relief soon

I've not been on recently, 9 weeks now and absolutely shattered. First trimester is completely knocking me for six. I have my next scan with EPU tomorrow so fingers crossed everything ok 🤞🏻

@Nypie thank you!

@WingingIt09 wow 9 weeks! That’s gone so quick!

@Houseelf90 definitely doesn't feel like it here 😂 longest 5 weeks ever since I found out

@WingingIt09 enjoy that time whilst you can 😂😂 have you told any family/close friends?

@WingingIt09 good luck for your scan tomorrow! I felt like the first trimester of this pregnancy absolutely dragged because I felt so horrific. We announced yesterday at last and feel a bit better now it's out in the open 😂

Anybody ever get weird sharp/stabbing pains in their armpits as a PMS symptom? Been getting them on off all day! Not done anything to cause them, but it's very close to my left boob...just wondering if it's a weird pre AF thing, that I have never noticed before 😂😂 TWW driving me insane again!

@missmoosh I can't say I've had that. Though I think the TWW can make you symptom-spot without noticing. It drove me nuts the first few cycles. 5DPO for me today. No pregnancy announcements in my circle. Yet. I've jinxed it now I think 😂

@missmoosh not quite but yes to weird shooting pains in my boobs including at the sides towards the armpit where there is some boob! I've had shooting pains in my boobs again this cycle - never had it before TTC but I did have it on cycle (3? Perhaps) for the first time which really made me get my hopes up as it was a new symptom for me but was still BFN.

I feel like AF is coming. Had some cramps / heaviness along with the breast pain, and felt really hungry today which is very like me when PMT hits. Due on Friday but not sure if it will take that long.

@WingingIt09 good luck for your scan tomorrow!

@Dreamingof3 hope the announcements all went well, and you start feeling better soon!

@WingingIt09 good luck for tomorrow let us know how it goes ❤️

Had my 13 week scan today and omg it was so amazing compared to the 8 week scan. It's starting to actually sink in now that there's really a baby in there (a very hyper active one at that).

How is everyone getting one is anyone in the TWW and due to test soon ?

@WingingIt09 thank you. It's been rough not going to lie. Take care of yourself - I found the first trimester brutal this time around too. Best of luck for your scan

Aw this is lovely @lj2022 you must be absolutely over the moon.

Think I might test tomorrow at 7/8/9dpo though I'll see how I feel I'm expecting some other news on the day so if it's both bad might just have a major pity party for one.

@Nypie keeping everything crossed for you 🤞 hope you're okay with anything else going on too!

Thanks it really is the biggest relief just keep staring at the picture in disbelief

@lj2022 aw thank you! I think the tories have tanked my dreams of owning a house and if that happens surely the universe owes me a baby! And if by the grace of god we do get a house were going to need a baby to put in it.

Ohh are you going to find out the gender??

@Nypie good luck with the house news, and test if you decide to do one! Fingers crossed for a BFP!

Lovely scan @lj2022 💗

@Dreamingof3 Thankyou! How are you getting on ?

@Nypie aw keeping everything crossed for you! It's awful just now trying to get on to the housing ladder I'll keep everything crossed for you

How precious @lj2022 😍.

Fingers crossed for you @Nypie.

Aww how lovely @Dreamingof3 💖.

I'm convinced I have one of each.. their heartbeats sound like a gallop and the other a train. It could be an old wives tale but I actually
do think I have one of each.

Hope you start to feel better soon @WingingIt09

@SarahShorty @LucyLoopyLu
I am going to assume then it is just either a random pain or another pre-AF delight 😂 it hasn't happened again today, I never realised how many random feelings the body could have until TTC...

@lj2022 amazing scan! You must be soo happy!
I am in the dreaded TWW, due on Monday (Flo predicted - didn't track O this month, will be starting that from next month). Trying to not test early again and see the stark white test 😂😂 no obvious signs so expecting her to arrive again...on my birthday no less!

@lj2022 tbh I can't believe I'm 16 weeks already 😳 I've still not told work (I wokr by myself mostly and my line manager is hardly ever in store with me). Sickness is still lurking but much better than before thank god 😅
