POAS girls: Fertility super slueths 🔎

[TheBirdintheCave]

A new thread for our little gang :) Tag anyone I managed to forget!

@MrsJGrealish @happinessandrainbows @calimc83 @pangolin84 @theblueflowers @bringmearainbow @monsteramunch @bunnykins123 @curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone @Indianna2006 @FfoxRedN

@bringmearainbow yay you peaked and the premonition could definitely happen!!

@LuckyMoonstone glad all was okay, why unsure about the private scan?

this 2ww feels like it’s lasting forever possibly doesn’t help I don’t think we did enough for a positive, 2 weeks will be Easter Saturday so still ages to go!

@Alexis7890 because I found out I’d lost a pregnancy at 16 weeks at a private scan clinic and now I’m 16 weeks again so it’s another hump to get over

@LuckyMoonstone awww no that’s so tough for you ❤️ I would love to offer reassurance and say it’s a different pregnancy, this one will be different and I absolutely think it will and you had your midwife appt and all is okay, but I also know if you are anything like me and my friends from personal but different experience it doesn’t matter much what others say it has to be your decision and milestone to handle in the best way for you. Sending so much love and faith that this baby will be nestled in there growing away

@LuckyMoonstone ahh I'm sorry you didn't get to hear the heartbeat. I find it so strange that some do it whilst others don't. Do you think you'll find out the gender at the scan? I'm absolutely certain all will be fine. I felt very soft bubbles around 16 weeks, no distinct movement. I'm defo feeling more bubbles now but nothing like proper kicks yet.

@MrsJGrealish pethedin is literally evil. I honestly had the trippiest experience on it before they gave it to me before the epi.

@FfoxRedN @MrsJGrealish @bringmearainbow thanks ladies 💕

@emhope ahh congratulations! So exciting isn't it!!

@TheBirdintheCave sounds like a good idea - throw everything at this cycle!!

@bunnykins123 weird how less than 2 years ago I was offered to hear it at 16 weeks, same nhs trust, but now they’re not doing it. No I’m still in the mindset of not wanting to know!

@Alexis7890 thank you lovely. There was absolutely no reason that I lost that baby, so there’s nothing wrong with me physically and no reason why it would happen again, but it’s still hard not to worry.

@bunnykins123 and yes that’s what I’ve felt the last couple of nights when I’m in bed, but I’m not 100% convinced it’s actually baby movements haha

@LuckyMoonstone glad today went well 💗

@bunnykins123 omg it is awful glad it wasn't just my experience!! I'm scared of needles (or rather was scared of needles then I've had worse things happen since that☹️) so didn't get the epi. Little bubbles love your description 💙

Hope everyone else is keeping well. I'm feeling a lot better emotionally today than Tuesday. Think having a plan going forward seems to help me. Again thanks to everyone on this thread that has helped me Xx 😘

@Indianna2006 yep breastfeeding with the occasional bottle of formula thrown in just to fill her up. She's a full on boob monster! 😆..she'll be 3 weeks tomorrow! It's flying...🥺 honestly up until the moment she cried and my DH told me she was perfect, I thought something would go wrong. It's awful..plus had a shitty experience with a growth scan 2 days before delivery that really didn't help the anxiety! @LuckyMoonstone hope u are ok lovely?! Remind me how many weeks u are now? @bunnykins123 a boy! 🥰 amazing news @MrsJGrealish hope u are doing ok lovely? Have u decided on an action plan? Xx

@calimc83 16 weeks so I’m almost as far as I got last time x

@calimc83 yes..I'm feeling loads better. I'm ovulating atm and have a Gp appointment next Wednesday and take it from there xx

She's such a wee cutie 🥰 it's hard when they are older in a different way. My boys are very open with me like they text me at least twice a day. DD is 16 and not so open. It's a one word answer thing going on atm 🙄

@MrsJGrealish good to hear you’ve got an appointment set up, and soon too!

@LuckyMoonstone top tip..make friends with the receptionist 😂 though hopefully the treatment room can do bloods that day it'll be interesting to see my progesterone level. I doubt it though I haven't befriended a nurse yet 🙈

Also my b12 levels were bad about 3 years ago and I'm feeling tired like before so I'd like them checked too xx

@bunnykins123 @emhope oh yay for the boys. Congrats 💙💙
I’m feeling okay actually. A little achey and it’s been way harder third trimester already with a child. But end is in sight!

@LuckyMoonstone ahh sorry you didn’t get to hear heartbeat hun. It’s annoying isn’t it. How much it seems to differ.
hmm it’s super hard. If that week would make a dif for you in your anxiety than just go to the private work. But equally way it up in what setting you feel more comfy I guess.

@MrsJGrealish glas you feel a bit better. Agreed having even a small plan of action makes you feel a little less lost again. We all just need a plan sometimes and helps us cope with each new step 😘

@MrsJGrealish I'm so glad you have a plan in place let's hope there are some answers 🤞🏼

Well I think we've done as much as we can I doubt we will manage today we've done the last 3 days a 4th might not happen but we will see he might be up for it 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Ooh I'm getting ovulation pain again this cycle this is such a new experience for me 🙈

@bringmearainbow It's a helpful thing to have as it's one extra sign to let you know it's 100% happened :) In contrast I've not had it at all since the miscarriage 😂

@TheBirdintheCave that's true I know something is happening at least 🙊 hopefully it will come back this cycle for you 🤞🏼 AF due the 12th I've already decided to test early 😂

I'm so depressed today guys. I hate how long my cycle is and the fact that Strep delayed me by two weeks is just so frustrating. I should be ovulating now or in the two week wait even but instead I'm still weeks away from even getting to that point 😫 I feel like I'm so far behind everyone else.

@bringmearainbow I started getting O pain after my first ever miscarriage. It really does help pin point roughly when O happens! Was always worse before bed 🤷‍♀️

@TheBirdintheCave where abouts are you now in your cycle? Totally understand why you feel that way. Anything to delay your schedule is immensely annoying. On the flip side, I had cycles where I O'd bloody early so missed O altogether as I wasn't expecting it!

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh lovely I'm sorry it does really suck I also think when AF is here it just makes things feel so much worse it's really crappy big hugs ❤️

@bunnykins123 odd isn't it I've gone 37 years with no ovulation pain 🤷🏼‍♀️ but it does help even if it's quite uncomfortable 🙈

@bunnykins123 I'm literally only CD6 😂 So about 13 days to go until O 🙄

@bringmearainbow I found as I got older it got more painful. It's weird as it's not what I would have expected, mines all in my back (I have a retroverted uterus so that maybe why) and mine builds up over a day yeh. makes me feel like I'm bruised for about 4 hours then it eases up. It's really weird. So many tests done, nothing found to be unusual so no idea why I feel it so much!

@TheBirdintheCave ahh I'm hoping you have one that's a bit earlier this month 🤞 it's the anticipation that always got me!

I did a thing. And it was needed. DH never fails 🥰

@bunnykins123 mine are like period pains. Interesting I also have a retroverted uterus and last cycle I had awful backache along with the pains this cycle no backache at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MrsJGrealish ahhhh that's awesome 👏🏼 have you done anymore opks?

Well 1dpo and now we wait and manifest all the pregnancy vibes 🙊 honestly we've managed so many days this cycle it better happen 😂 I even got one in this morning for luck 🤣

@bringmearainbow yay for all the doing the deed. Always gotta get an extra in for luck 😝🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 sending baby vibes your way
