@Alexis7890 very true! I didnt even consider the cost of drowning my sorrows! There is so much money to be made in fertility, it's scary!

@TheBirdintheCave probably best not to think about it 😂

@bunnykins123 I hate to think about the cost 😳 it's pretty scary really

Ugh I've woken up with a cold..the amount of preg tests i currently haven't even used is eye watering. Im not even gonna test this month till I'm at least a week late. If it's a chemical I don't want to know ☹️

@MrsJGrealish what DPO are you? I've got the worst cold too, feeling really sorry for myself so you have my sympathy 💕 So much going around at the moment. That's what I did - I waited till 5weeks and even then I was convinced I was late due to covid!

@bunnykins123 15dpo lovely..I got 0-3 and 0-1 just really because we wanted to 🥰 (wasn't ttc this month but didn't prevent it I'm just obsessed with those wee OPKs 😂) I've a wedding at the end of April and a holiday at the end of May xx damn sure I'll not be freaking out over lines this month 🤣

The cold is horrible! One of my nostrils hurts and my eyes are running. Sorry you have it too 😢

@bunnykins123 oops CD15 😂

Good luck everyone in 2ww 🥰🥰 @bringmearainbow and technically @MrsJGrealish you never know!!

@LuckyMoonstone deffo wouldn't worry about the placenta. Looks like in baby’s face but they move about so much at that point etc. also later on they get squished to F in there don’t they so clearly they don’t care. Pretty sure mine has zero room now 😂 she’s prob also got placenta in her face.

Easter holidays with DD and heavily pregnant is not the way to go 😂😂 whose plan was this…🙈
I only done the weekend and DH has been here and I’m knackered. forgot how much I felt I had to sort now I’ve finished work. Spring cleaning underway 🐣🐣

I am off to soak in a long hot bath with Epsom salts in hope it’s might help my back. It’s agony 😣

@Indianna2006 nothing helps more than a bath..take it as easy as you can this next week 💗 it's a sad moment when the sunshine hits the house and you see dust everywhere 😬

Somehow DH is up for it again tonight..it's so much more enjoyable than ttc DTD 😬

@FfoxRedN good luck for the scan this week ❤️

@MrsJGrealish thanks lovely. It's Tuesday but in the morning so nice and early. I am dreading it though, because even if it's ok, the last 3 have been the same 😣, it still won't mean anything.

I hope you managed to catch a good one by accident this month 🥰.

I too have had the WORST cold!!! Sinuses have been awful and I just can't sleep, so I feel all of you suffering at the mo too xx

@FfoxRedN glad it's not too much of a wait.. how you feeling, pregnancy wise? I had no obvious symptoms at 6 weeks with my DCs Xx

Well miracles might happen for me (hugely unlikely I'll ask about progesterone on Wednesday) but in a normal ttc cycle I'd avoid DTD in the TWW I shouldn't have to, I've never done that with successful pregnancies 🤷‍♀️ but I'm OLD now 😂

@MrsJGrealish nothing really other than sleep being disturbed but most of that's been the cold aswell. Oh and thankfully the thrush has passed now too. Nothing else!
Deffo ask for the progesterone, I've been back dooring all the time, it's a game changer!
I didn't in the last few but I have this time. Nothing since though because I've been ill. Sadly for DH it's the last thing on my mind 😬 x

I really hope your journey takes a turn on Wednesday and they offer you some updated tests and options 😘 xx

Today I learned that I could apply to join Mensa if I wanted 😂 I thought the IQ starting point was 160 but turns out it's only 132.

@Indianna2006 bless you hun. Just think, you're nearly there now! I bet you're keen just to get her out of you now!

@MrsJGrealish I honestly think that's the way to do it, it's hard though when youve been trying for so long that it becomes so regimented. I hear you, I'm on day 3 now of what feels like the worst cold I've had in ages. Sat on the training going to work as I have a product launch today so I can't take today off and literally sense the entire train hating me coughing / blowing my nose 🤦‍♀️

@FfoxRedN oooo good luck for Tuesday!!!! I have a good feeling for this one though 🤞 sorry you're sick too, it sucks as it seems you can't take anything when pregnant!

@TheBirdintheCave that's impressive!! Will you do it? There is no way I'd get into Mensa 🙃

@bunnykins123 I don't think so as you have to take the official test in a supervised environment. I get in a panic thinking what if I'm randomly not that clever on that day and they tell me I'm a dunce 😂 It would be so cool to join though. I generally test somewhere around 140.

@bunnykins123 my voice is all croaky!! Good luck speaking or it'll be a short presentation😂😂🤣

@TheBirdintheCave you should definitely go for it! When I was younger I was about 120, pretty sure half those brain cells have gone now 😂😂😂😂 x

Just had my consultant appointment. It was quite brief so I didn’t bother asking about my recent scan photos, I’m only 3 weeks away from my 20 week scan so I will wait until then. Upping my thyroxine to 100mg which is good. And I get extra scans at 30 and 34 weeks!

@LuckyMoonstone That's great :D I'm glad you get the extra scans too.

@FfoxRedN I'll have to think about it 😅

@LuckyMoonstone extra scans are always nice 😍

@bringmearainbow I don’t know why at that particular gestation. Oh and they are actually at 32 and 34 weeks so I don’t know why so close together!

@LuckyMoonstone does seem a bit odd as I didn't think they could get that clear a picture later on as they are so big maybe they are checking growth 🤔 can't believe you're almost at 20 weeks only seems like the other day you were posting your tests 🙈

@bringmearainbow that’s what I thought! I don’t see what my previous CS has got to go with growth though or why that would need checking 🤷‍♀️ well we’ll see.
It has gone fast but then I remember I’m not even half way yet 😭

@LuckyMoonstone oh I didn't realise it was because of a previous CS I wonder if they want to check something to do with previous scar tissue and stretching rather than the baby 🤔 who knows probably some weird guideline that makes zero sense but at least it's 2 extra peeks 🙊

@bringmearainbow well that seems to be the main reason, that’s what he asked me about first, the CS. Thyroid he was happy to just up to 100mg straight off the bat but he didn’t say anything about it affecting the baby. And I don’t see how 30 odd week scans relate to previous early miscarriages! So yeah maybe it’s so check me physically as well.

@LuckyMoonstone extra scans is nice for reassurance. But yes odd so close together. Maybe to get an idea of weight too?

As I think if you’d like vbac they don’t like ppl to go too far over etc if previous c section due to possible scar rupture.
Depending on baby size perhaps.
my friends hoping for a vbac after a elective c section for breach baby. They’re inducing her just after 37 weeks tho to avoid issues. But may be baby size as well. As I thought that seemed early? But what do I know 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So she’s like doing opposite to me. She wants vaginal and I absolutely DO NOT want vaginal again 🙈🙈

@MrsJGrealish I’ll deffo try relax feel like I’m hosting a million kid play dates tho 😂

@bunnykins123 deffo ready for her to come out. But also will 100% miss my bump as I won’t do it again. Just wish my pelvic pain wasn’t so bad but almost there. And all worth it 🥰🥰

Sooo happy as well spring suddenly seems like it’s arrived doesn’t it ☀️💐 lovely weather where we are.
