Hi ladies,

I will try and add everyone back in but please check if I’ve missed anyone.

@Ncl31 really hope that this is a sticky bean 🥰

@Hotmalibu94 , @Hollie1802 , @etaketak1991 , @ginny93 hopefully you ladies are all doing well?

@Roseberry22, @EK37 , @Myna13 , @NLmum4 @thejollytrolleydolly good luck for this cycle!

Well I’ve not had any more EWCM today but had light cramps earlier.
hopefully will get a BBT rise in the next couple of days

Ncl31 · 29/01/2024 06:53

I’ve attached my chart… looking promising that I’ve actually ovulated. Fingers crossed BBT continues to rise and stays up!
fingers crossed

@CatiaR lets hope so.
how are you doing? Everything going well?

Hotmalibu94 · 29/01/2024 07:53

@Ncl31 fingers crossed! Looks very promising!

EK37 · 29/01/2024 08:36

@Ncl31 woohoo! Got everything crossed 🤞

Hollie18 · 29/01/2024 09:28

Hey everyone,

@Ncl31 it's looking good! Fingers crossed for you!

@CatiaR eugh I've been there 😂 the dog was sick and so was I hahahaha

@Hotmalibu94 good luck for your scan today!! Mine is on Friday 😊 I'm a bit nervous for it but can't believe we are half way 😱

I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Hotmalibu94 · 29/01/2024 10:08

@Hollie18 good to hear from you 🥰 ahhh so exciting! I can't wait! I made a moses basket over the weekend so now I'm just getting all emotional thinking of putting our baby in it in 5 months 😂❤️

How have you been? Good luck for your scan on Friday! Do you know what you're having yet? I can't remember? Xx

CatiaR · 29/01/2024 11:07

@Ncl31 doing well thanks just waiting till our scan 😊

@Hollie18 oh yeah I’ve only been sick that once but dog threw up once as well and I was like oh no go away 🤣

@Hotmalibu94 time is flying! Maybe it will go faster for me too once we have our scan, I’ll be 13w+3 by the time we have ours so a little longer to go as I’m 11w+4 currently.

Hollie18 · 29/01/2024 14:19

@Hotmalibu94 Oh wow!! Made one!! That's amazing, it's all starting to get a bit more real now isn't it!!

What time is your scan? Are you going to find out the sex? I do! We are having a little boy 😊

@CatiaR that's the only time I was sick 😂 over the dogs sick haha!

It felt like an age for me getting to the 12 week mark, but once I was there, it's flown by! I can't believe it's my 20 week scan this week, 8 weeks have gone by! Fingers crossed it'll be the same for you too, it's a tough one as I don't want to wish it away but at the same time the wait was agonising at the beginning!!

CatiaR · 29/01/2024 14:39

@Hollie18 i know! It doesn’t feel super real yet even tho I got symptoms and super bloated all the time. I wanna see them and hopefully all is ok 😊

Hotmalibu94 · 29/01/2024 15:19

@Hollie18 it was actually surprisingly easy! Scan was 12:30, absolutely amazing. We are having a girl! 💕

etaketak1991 · 29/01/2024 17:11

Congratulations @Hollie18 and @Hotmalibu94 , how exciting!! 💙🩷

Fingers crossed for you, @Ncl31 🤞

Hollie18 · 29/01/2024 18:55

@Hotmalibu94 OMG congratulations 😊 a little girl, how exciting!! 🩷 I am looking forward to seeing little one again, and getting the sex confirmed - when we had our gender scan she seemed sure but it wasn't very clear on the screen so would like to confirm with a second opinion! However i think it's rare that girls are mistaken for boys because of the obvious bits 🤭

@etaketak1991 thank you! How are you doing?

Ncl31 · 29/01/2024 19:22

Thank you everyone, hoping it’s positive that my body has decided to ovulate itself on CD31. Trying not to look too much into it but my last cycle when I conceived I also ovulated on CD31, maybe it’s a good sign.
ah @CatiaR i bet you’re so excited!
@Hotmalibu94 how lovely, a little girl! Congrats
@Hollie18 i work in theatre and all the sections I’ve done I’ve never had a boy come out a girl, but plenty the other way around! So fingers crossed for you.

etaketak1991 · 29/01/2024 20:33

@Hollie18 All good here, thanks, apart from still being bloody exhausted! I've got my 20 week scan booked but it feels miles off, not until I'm 20+6 in mid March. Have you felt baby kicking yet? So lovely at this point before they get strong enough to pummel your insides haha.

Hotmalibu94 · 29/01/2024 20:37

@Hollie18 thank you 🥰 we are getting another scan at 32 weeks as my placenta is low, but she thinks it'll grow up and away from the cervix whilst the uterus grows so 🤞 will be lovely to see little one again then 🥰 I just find her hilarious on a scan, always doing such random stuff 😂 e.g. today with all the space she has still available, she spent the whole time tucked right up with her nose touching her knees 😂🩷

@Ncl31 thanks! I'm hoping we aren't one of those where they come out as a boy now 😂

Ncl31 · 29/01/2024 20:54

@Hotmalibu94 im sure you won’t be you’ve waited until 20 weeks, so many people find out super early then cling onto that.
one of the girls I work with found out yesterday that they’re having a girl, she’s only 13 weeks. Like how can that be accurate?
I don’t know.
maybe it’s just me, I like surprises haha

Hollie18 · 29/01/2024 20:56

@Ncl31 fingers crossed then!! I have heard of girls being boys when born, cheeky monkeys hiding their bits and bobs! 🤞🏼it's great news that you have ovulated by yourself, got everything crossed for you.

@etaketak1991 I bet you it'll fly by! I can't believe we are at the end of Feb already! I haven't felt anything yet but I have an anterior placenta so have been told it'll likely be 21-24 weeks before I feel anything 😥 but yeah, need to enjoy it before I'm being beat up from the inside 😂

@Hotmalibu94 I also have some extra scans because I'm high risk - I'm kinda glad though, I can't imagine this being the final one until baby is born! It seems such a long time!! Aw bless her, I think it's so funny to see what they get up to in there 🥰

Hotmalibu94 · 31/01/2024 06:49

@Ncl31 13 weeks?! Didn't even know that was possible. Saying that someone told me they're having a girl as they did a blood test the other day and she's only 10 weeks or something!
How's the TWW going??

@Hollie18 my placenta is anterior but quite low and more left than right. There's a bit on the right where I've been feeling her for the best part of a week or so now and last couple of days I've been feeling movements where my placenta is so hopefully you'll feel him soon! ❤️ It's so weird, I don't get these butterflies or flutters that everyone says about, it feels like muscle spasms 😂 I love it though 🥰🥰🥰

Ncl31 · 31/01/2024 07:20

@@Hotmalibu94 I didn’t realise it was a thing either. Hence why I think some of it is voodoo and made up.

TWW is going okay. I’m super busy with work over the next few weeks working 6 days a week so hopefully it’ll help pass the time.

my nips are quite sensitive but that usually happens after ovulation anyway. Keeping everything crossed I’m a lucky one that catches straight after a miscarriage

etaketak1991 · 31/01/2024 11:22

@Hotmalibu94 Early kicks felt like popcorn popping inside my stomach!

@Ncl31 I've got everything crossed for you, lovely 🤞

Hotmalibu94 · 31/01/2024 12:17

@Ncl31 mad isn't it. I guess we will have to wait and see if these early ones are right 😂
Oh well rubbish work is so busy but at least it keeps you occupied!
I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@etaketak1991 I love how different they can feel 🥰 Im so sappy, I said to DH last night it's like I miss her when she isn't kicking me now😂

CatiaR · 31/01/2024 17:27

@Hotmalibu94 aww can’t wait for that! 12 weeks tomorrow but still got a week and a few days to be able to see little bean 🥰 only getting seen at 13w4days so we’ll see if there’s any changes after the dating scan! And then I’ll fly to Portugal on that weekend and tell my side of the family and my husband will tell his 😊
