@Vic231 How are you feeling? 🥰 Has the sickness kicked in yet? I had my 12 week scan and all looked good (after a scary scan 4 days prior 😫) and as I make big babies, I'm measuring ahead again. Due 5th March ☺️

@Bubblesandtroubles I hope the Agnus Castus helps! It seems to be raved about on here 👌🏻

@Annapolis35 Sorry AF arrived 😔 The post by Xena really helped me a few months ago, as this info was shared previously. It really is about getting a top quality egg and top quality sperm - it's not an easy connection to make but once it happens... Magic! 💜

@CAGH03 Congratulations! I'm putting you on a 9 month smoking and drinking ban applicable immediately 🤣 Studies show smoking and drinking do impact baby. I think using the excuse of needing to fit into a wedding dress is a good one for the next few weeks/months. Will your partner's foot be an issue with appointments or are you okay getting public transport? Just because there are probably a lot of appointments in your future! I swear I've been to the hospitals (plural 😅) 4 times so far and I haven't had my booking appointment yet. How many DPO are you? 💜

@LeopardLover 12 weeks - yay that's great news! Please to hear your scan went well as well, although sorry to hear you also had to have a scary one 😔 you haven't had an easy ride! I turned 5 weeks today, no real sickness as yet although a few bouts of feeling sick for maybe half an hour or so and needing to suck on a mint to help 🤣 I am very hungry though! With my loss pregnancy the feeling sick really ramped up in the 5th week so I'm prepared for that but also trying to not get fixated on it as I know each pregnancy is different! Just taking each day as it comes and just being very grateful ♥️

@LeopardLover definitely pregnant! I'm so happy 🥰!! He can't drive for a week or two but I work in town and buses to the hospital are every half an hour so I should be fine! I'm 11dpo today, due my period on Tuesday x
This mornings test taken before the 1 minute mark🥰x

This was last nights test x

@CAGH03 Congratulations ☺️ A little baby at the wedding! 💒 Great news about the public transport. I hope you don't feel too sick xx

Thank you! It's really been a tricky first trimester but hopefully everything will be chill moving forward. 😊 5 weeks, exciting! With my son I felt a bit sick in week 6 (hungover) & survived on beige food but was never sick. I hope you get a nice easy ride this time as you're right, every pregnancy is different. ❤️ This time I've been relentlessly sick BUT nothing for two days so I'm hoping that's done with.

Because I've been so sick I did wonder how if I was having a girl but looking at the scan photos, I think it's another boy, 🥰😍x

Feeling very nauseous yesterday and today but hopefully I won't be too bad! Should be due around 12th may so will have a 6 week old at the wedding🥰x

Worked out I'm 3 weeks and 6 days 🥰x

@CAGH03 I see the lines, eeek!!! Congratulations x

It's official 🥳 4 weeks today, baby is growing lungs and a placenta! It's all so interesting but still doesn't feel real!
I hope everyone is okay, what stage is everyone at with their cycles? Sending you alll baby dust🤰🏼❤️xx

@LeopardLover you're due the day after my FH birthday🥰 I should be due around 6-12th may. One app says the 6th, another says 12th and the other says 26th so going to call the doctors today to try and get an early scan, just as it took so long for me to fall, I'm so scared about losing it! 😩 haven't touched any alcohol or cigarettes tho!🥳x

Congratulations @CAGH03 and I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months.

@LeopardLover 12 weeks! Wonderful and can’t believe it’s gone so fast. I’m sorry you have had a scary time though but hopefully from now on things will be a bit easier.

@CAGH03 Oh how sweet! 🥰 Well done for staying off the drink and cigarettes 👌🏻💜 I'd recommend waiting until 8 weeks if you can so you'll definitely see a heart beat. Getting a scan earlier can be really stressful as you don't always see much and then you worry! I always wanted a May baby, it's such a gorgeous time of year.

@Annapolis35 Thank you so much! It proves every pregnancy is different 🙈 I was being sick at midnight last night which isn't ideal 😅 but I know I'm really lucky. ☺️ Hoping the bleeding stays away and my combined screening blood results are okay!

How are you feeling? X

ahhhh no sorry about all the sickness @LeopardLover that’s so draining and you must be exhausted.

I am alright thanks, my AF just finished so in that good place of not really thinking about trying at the mo. I am very much trying to keep in mind that Xena post and think that the odds are soooo low each cycle so the more we try the better the odds and not put focus on an individual month. I told my boss too that we are trying, she’s a friend and supported me lots (above and beyond) during the mmc and she told me it took them 15 months and it was a bit of a relief to actually speak to someone in real life about what’s going on.

@LeopardLover thankyou! I'm just super excited! It just doesn't feel real tho after trying for so long so I don't want to risk anything that could make me lose it! How are you feeling now? I found out at 3 weeks and 5 days and I'm already feeling so sick and tired!! And absolutely STARVING🤣x

Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ you must be over the moon

@Favofit super happy! Thankyou ❤️❤️xx

@Annapolis35 Thank you! I used to get so upset when I was sick, and cry. I don't enjoy it now but it's way easier so that's a silver lining 🤣💜

Enjoy this down period for sure. It's so great you opened up to your manager and she opened up to you too 🥰 That Xena post really helps put things in perspective. Hopefully that perfect egg is ready to pop out soon 😍 I had a little bit of a binge drinking session back in Feb and felt so mad at myself once I realised it could impact egg health for 3 months! Once that 3 months was up, I fell pregnant. Maybe coincidence but I feel like I had a better chance that month as it was a healthier egg (they take 3 months to mature) 😊x

I’m so sorry the sickness has been so hard @LeopardLover i really hope it gets easier now. Sounds like a tough pregnancy and not easy to go through at all. Have you got anti sickness pills off your gp at all? I remember getting them during a kidney infection when the antibiotics made me sick and they really helped (not comparable at all!) ❤️

yes some perspective is so important. I’m so lucky in that I get regular cycles and have the opportunity to keep trying so I always have got to keep that in mind and I’m in a much better position than many others. I know I can get pregnant too so one day it’ll work. We had so much stress for a while so I’m sure that impacted on egg quality! I had no idea about booze either. Just gotta keep on trucking. It’s so nice not having to think about ttc for a week though 😂

Hey girls, how's everyone doing? 🤍
How long should I wait to tell work about bean? I know it's too soon but the sickness is awful and keep having to go outside for fresh air 🥲x

@CAGH03 As long as you can, definitely hold on until the scan at least?

@CAGH03 I say this because I told my employer both times early and they weren't willing to 'believe' it until a scan.

@justanothermummma first scan should be around 8 weeks so 4 more weeks to go. I'm still very early but the nausea is something else 🤣 I don't want them to get annoyed at me for keep going outside. I've got plenty of pictures and videos of my tests if they need to see🤣 I just don't want them to fire me for being pregnant, that happened to my mum and the last thing I need is to lose another job x

maybe speak to your gp about anti sickness meds. It depends on your employer whether you feel comfortable or not. I did before my mmc but I have a very supportive manager. You are under no obligation to inform them until later on.

@CAGH03 Oh you poor thing! I agree with @Annapolis35 -ask for anti sickness meds!

How long is your probation? If it's three months I'd try and wait until you pass as it's such a new job.

I know it's really hard 😔 and we shouldn't have to worry about our jobs!

I haven't told work yet, I'm probably going to wait until 16 weeks. I'd rather wait until 20 weeks but I have a bump already 🙈
