Hey ladies

sorry for radio silence over here. I have been rushed off my feet. Last day at work before my maternity leave today and it was a day from hell. Whole team and office pretty much off with covid which has wiped everyone out. Bar me it seems?!! How I’ve got away with that I don’t know. Still bit worried I might get here. Or DH before surgery!! So it’s been manic. I’m knackered. DD has also had a sickness bug. So happy days lol.

cannot believe this baby is coming in just over 2 weeks. It’s bloody crept up on me. Got a mum 2 b pamper on Thursday though which is now SO needed. Super stressed after today.

I been reading just haven’t had time to catch up an post.

@TheBirdintheCave sorry AF arrived. But good luck for last cycle before IVF. Hope it feels like your now moving forward.

@bringmearainbow hope it is start of your rise. Not quite such a long wait for ovulation 😁

@MrsJGrealish deffo don’t think they can be all dud eggs. You deffo got some good ones in there I know it. I’m sure something else is going on like others have said.

@calimc83 how are you getting on with DD and your recovery?

Hope everyone else is well?! Xxx

@curliegirlie thanks is it bad to say I can't wait for bedtime 😂

@MrsJGrealish oh bless him. My brother could never look at blood

Well my opks back down to super low so false alarm 🙄 CM has become a lot more plentiful so it surely won't be long 🤞🏼

@Indianna2006 oh bless you sounds hectic! I can't believe how fast that has gone 🙈 I mean maybe not for you but it feels fast! Can't wait to see baby pics 😍 enjoy your pamper that sounds blooming glorious

@Indianna2006 So exciting! She'll be here before you know it :D

@Indianna2006 aww hun make sure you rest as much as you can now 😘

Do not worry about radio silence at all I've been a bit mopey this past week and not much comfort to anyone. But appointment is made (my friend works in reception thank god for her🙏)

Enjoy these last 2 weeks and am so excited to see your gorgeous lil rainbow Xx 🥰

@bringmearainbow it's always the way. They start rising then drop then full scale positive..I only really snapped out of my mood when I saw my CM today. You got this. I really think this will be THE cycle Xx

@bringmearainbow wishing you all the best BDing for this cycle! You sound like you're totally in it and giving it your all! Hopefully DS will have a speedy recovery 🤞🏼. xx

@MrsJGrealish it's amazing that she's gotten you an appt, there has to be an answer, they can't be dodgy eggs, those are either gotten rid of straight away or get lost a bit later on. I have everything crossed for you getting some answers and solutions 🥰. Xx

@TheBirdintheCave well done hubby!!! Glad it's not going to disrupt the cycle though 👏🏼 xx

@Indianna2006 Oh lovely, I'm sorry your last day was shitty but hurray for waving it goodbye for a while and to maternity leave!!! 😘 xx

@curliegirlie how are you doing? Xx

I've booked an early scan for next week. I don't think it'll make me feel better but I'm hoping I'll get more desensitised to going there as time goes on (if I get any further) my last one I was a wreck. Not really had any symptoms but got the start of a rotten cold which is really annoying 🫤. xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone x

@FfoxRedN just a GP appointment but I need to start somewhere. She's had miscarriages herself (I used to work with them) and she's so good. Like she might know a good consultant I've no issue paying privately. My fear is I'll start crying and when I cry I can't seem to stop easily. I'll probably end up saying nothing and walk out with a script for antidepressants and a sick line 🙈

Good luck for your scan lovely 😊 the anxiety is a killer. I totally get that. One step at a time Xx

@Indianna2006 oh wow 2 weeks to go! 😬 I feel like your pregnancy has flown..bet you're so glad to have finished work now! We are all good..she feeds non stop at the mo so not managing to get much done 😆 other than watch a serious amount of Netflix. Currently got the MIL staying to help with the school run and DH went back to work today. Dreading doing it all myself..🙈.if u need any c section tips just drop me a PM. I'm feeling just about back to normal now xx

@FfoxRedN ahhh good luck for scan lovely 🤞🏼🤞🏼 there are plenty of scans so best to get used to them I guess. Altho anxiety is always there a little. I am having a growth scan tomo as my bump growth ahead slowed a little. I’m sure she fine. But looking forward to seeing her again as haven’t since 23 weeks!

@MrsJGrealish an appointment is a good start 😘😘

@calimc83 ahh bless you are you breastfeeding? Glad MIL is staying to helps with school run. My DH is having 5 weeks off with me so I feel quite lucky for that.
Ah wow it’s good you feel almost back to normal. Not bad going I’d say. How far out are you? Just over 2 weeks? Bet that’s better than your severe tear recoveries tbh!
I was not feeling almost back to normal 2 weeks post birth last time. Hell I wasn’t feeling normal 3 months post birth tbh 🙈🙈

@bringmearainbow start of trimester felt verrrrryyyy slow for me. And now it’s crept up on me. And I’m like agghhhh it’s so soon. Am I organised enough. Will I remember what I’m doing.
not sure I’ve actually computed I’m having a baby. And I’m getting a baby. Does that sound silly. 🙈 I think I still can’t believe it. Until she’s places in my arms and I see her. It feels like a bit of a dream tbh still girls 🥰

Think as well that underlying anxiety doesn’t go. A bit like @calimc83. I just can’t help fretting something will still go wrong and I’ve perhaps got worse the closer to delivery I get.

@MrsJGrealish thanks I really hope this is THE one 🙏🏼 praying to whoever will listen!

@FfoxRedN thank you lovely he already looks a lot better this morning 🤞🏼 it's such a catch 22 on one hand you want to know what's happening on the other scan anxiety is so mentally draining I'm sending you lots of positive vibes for next week ❤️

@calimc83 glad your feeling more normal now. Enjoy all the Netflix I got through so much tv those early days now there's an opinion on what we watch I'm not a fan of the choices tbh 😂

@Indianna2006 im sure it will all come back....that's what I hope anyway 😂 I had a dream last night I couldn't remember how to breastfeed 🙈

Opks are teasing me again this morning 🙄 we dtd last night my plan is to leave today then do Thurs fri and Sat but I'll keep an eye on my opks we might be doing tonight if it progresses. One good thing about being off with DS is I can do an opk whenever I like 😂

Opk is darker than this morning I think peak will be tomorrow if it follows normal pattern looks like I will probably be dtd tonight

@bringmearainbow ooh hopefully!! Check again tonight 😊 mine was 0.15 yesterday 😅

@bringmearainbow Hoorah! Get to it! 😬

I don't even know why I'm checking tbh. It's a compulsion

@MrsJGrealish it's really hard not to do something you've been doing for a while. the bit when I'm not poas feels weird to me 🙈

@TheBirdintheCave I'm on it 💪🏼 well DH doesn't know yet 😂 but we will be

After a weird start to this fertile window I'm pretty sure I'm now 1 dpo. I had tons of ewcm and watery cm at cd 7 and 8 and ended up ovulating cd 11 and my boobs have been swollen and sore since yesterday which never happens. I always get sore boobs a couple days before af and that goes away when af arrives.

Thanks all for your lovely messages 🥰.

@bringmearainbow it deffo looks like it's on the rise! (I always have a little rise, then drop, then proper peak rise, strange huh!) go girl go 💪🏼 xx

@LuckyMoonstone you ok lovely? Hope all is good with you and baby ❤️

@MrsJGrealish I am thank you :) although this is the longest into a pregnancy that I’ve still had bad nausea! Midwife appointment this afternoon, still intend to talk to her about the heartbeat thing if she offers it

@LuckyMoonstone this is good! You had me worried I was about to enter the pregnancy zone in search of you 😅

I'm telling you..girl! I can remember this so well. My boys were so much easier on me. Unless you've had a gender scan and I'm talking crap which is also likely 😂

@MrsJGrealish I was sick from week six to nineteen with my son so it could go either way for Lucky 😅

@LuckyMoonstone I hope your appointment goes well today and you get to hear that heartbeat! <3

@bringmearainbow How's your OPK looking?

@MrsJGrealish lol noo I’m still here watching over you all 😆 I haven’t been on a single pregnancy thread! I almost did at one point but then couldn’t be arsed? 😂 no I don’t know the sex so you could be right! DH said the same.

@TheBirdintheCave thank you chick I’ll let you all know how it goes

@LuckyMoonstone I hope they listen to it for you lovely 🤞🏼

@TheBirdintheCave well I did one with FMU which I know you arnt meant to do I have no idea why 🤷🏼‍♀️ and it's at 0.45 so not much change from yesterday. I'll do another in a couple of hours. Now I'm really praying peak happens today otherwise I've timed this wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️ we've dtd last 2 nights I was hoping peak would be today and we can do tonight I don't think we can manage 4 days in a row 😳 if it doesn't change much today I might have to skip tonight and resume business tomorrow 🙈 argh
