TTC & Pregnancy

[CatiaR]

Hi ladies,

the other thread is full now!

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 🥰

@Huriya hiya lovely! 20 weeks already! Time goes fast and a baby boy how exciting. Thank you only 5 and half weeks now so still feels unreal!

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

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

@Ncl31 yes looking back I was really dry! But then I’ve seen so many people say they had loads! I think it Varys from cycle to cycle! Let us know how you get on! Xx

@Ncl31 12dpo is still early for a bfp sometimes 🤞
What's been your difference in cm?
Personally I was dry as a bone during the TWW 🙈 the cm probably flared up a couple of weeks after my bfp!

@etaketak1991 oh definitely 😅 we've been painting the nursery so we are finally at the point of being able to put up our furniture 🙌 so that's tomorrow's job! Today I cleaned and organised our conservatory so we have a nice place to sit when the weather is a bit rubbish like today!

@Hotmalibu94 wow! Maternity leave, I'm so jealous! I've still got 4 weeks to go, but my feet have swollen so much now especially when I'm sitting at a desk all day, I have no idea how I'm going to get shoes on go to into the office 😂😂

@Ncl31 everything is crossed for you 🤞🏼

@etaketak1991 yes! I had a glucose test at 28 weeks, the drink was grim I'm not going to lie..everyone said it would be flavoured but mine was clear and thick and not flavoured which somehow made it worse 😂 but it was all good, I was allowed have sips of water throughout the 2 hour wait between which for me really helped so I would definitely recommend taking a drink bottle - also, a book or something to entertain you because it drags!! Let me know if you have any questions!

@etaketak1991 I can't believe you're in the 3rd trimester now! It's flying for us all now! No help with the glucose test, sorry 😅 I'd be prepared to feel a bit rubbish after though, a lot of people I've heard from said they crashed after

I am, here is my chart.
i had cream cm until 6dpo then nothing but the last 2 days I’ve had more again.

@Hollie18 not too long though! I was on my feet all day and I work 40 hours in 4 days plus 1.5 hour commute daily so I was out of the house from 7:30-7:30/8 and it was far too much.
Hopefully your 4 weeks fly by! I don't think the heating would be helping with the swelling 😅

@Ncl31 BBT is looking promising 🤞

@Hollie18 Oh joy 😂 I've heard mixed things about the drink... I'm just crossing my fingers it's like Calpol! Did you get your results back quickly? Would taking a protein bar for straight after being a good idea, you think?

@Hotmalibu94 Oh no, I've got a midwife appointment scheduled 2 hours after 😂 I'm going to be bloody cranky for it!

@Ncl31 That BBT chart is looking good so far 🤞🤞🤞

@Hotmalibu94 @etaketak1991 do you think?
I was convinced it was rubbish. I guess tomorrow morning I’ll see how it looks again. If it’s still up then I’ll try another test but if it drops then I’m pretty sure that’ll be me out.

@etaketak1991 let me know how it goes! I got mine in two weeks time, thanks to my lovely dad 🤣

@Hotmalibu94 enjoy your Mat leave! Little lady will be here soon enough how exciting 🥰

@Ncl31 bbt looking good still tho, fingers crossed

@EK37 how you doing?

26 + 3 today and definitely movements ramped up a lot lately in strength! Very uncomfortable to sleep these days even with my pregnancy pillow, but i finally got a ball and omg it’s so great!!

a few of my work team are moving into other jobs and resigned which gave me the opportunity to apply for a promotion, got an interview on Thursday and shall see how it goes! Not expecting a lot but will give it a good go! If I got it would also be a nice boost to my pay before going off mat leave and during the full pay months.

@etaketak1991 ah yes! For sure! I didn't take anything and had a couple of other appointments after and they ended up giving me a little pack of bourbons as they said I could get really faint without anything!

I got my results back the next day, via my badger app (if you have that, I know some trusts don't) if you don't have the app then I believe no news is good news 🤞🏼

Big dip in BBT today so I expect AF is just around the corner, due tomorrow or Thursday.

@CatiaR I'm so uncomfortable all the time now 😂 I'm constantly having my belly shift from one side to the other and my hips are absolute agony in bed. All worth it in the end ♥️
Exciting about the possible promotion! Best of luck for the interview, please let us know how it goes ♥️

@Ncl31 sorry your BBT has dipped. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that it's a blip though! X

How’s everyone doing these days? 😊

@Hotmalibu94 and @Hollie18 you must be in the last stretches now, so exciting 🥰

@Ncl31 Fingers crossed for this cycle 🤞🤞

@CatiaR So far so good over here! I've been cleared for gestational diabetes so that's one less problem! Just a few growth scans to go and hoping preeclampsia doesn't rear it's ugly head again 🙃 How are you?

@Hotmalibu94 and @Hollie18 you must be close to full term now? ❤️

@etaketak1991 all good here! Good you got cleared for GD. I got my test on Tuesday 😊

I went in for reduced movements last week just as a piece of mind but now i understand it probably was just the position baby was at but I got no clue and the midwives are very good at reassuring you so now at least I know where I’m going to give birth as it was that same hospital just a different side 😂

@etaketak1991 thank you, i think I’m already out this cycle unless ovulation comes bang on cd14 because DH is away for fertile week entirely. I’m trying not to worry about it because it’ll mean I get to enjoy my holidays coming up in June & July

@etaketak1991 @CatiaR I'm glad to hear that you are both getting on well!! I can't believe how the time has gone!

I am 36 weeks now, so only technically a week to go until 'term' although if he could stay put for a little longer it would be appreciated 😂 it's all becoming very real, and I am very slow haha! I am feeling very very ready to have my body back to myself!

@Ncl31 fingers crossed for you, but even if not, you'll be able to really enjoy those trips! Where are you off to?

@etaketak1991 @CatiaR glad you're both doing well! Catia I'm glad all was ok with the reduced movements, these babies love to stress us out 😂

@Ncl31 fingers crossed for you, but if not then I hope you have fab holidays!

I'm doing well, Ill be 37 weeks on Tuesday and I'm very ready for her to arrive 😂 I'm knackered, suffering with pgp, have now seemingly developed carpal tunnel, and am not sleeping well at all. 😂 Ready for my body back now! Though I bet I'll miss these little kicks ♥️

20th June we’re off to Dublin to see take that (my fave!!) for a few days
29th June -7th July we’re off to Cyprus for a week.
8th July (our first wedding anniversary) we’re off to Santorini for a week
a very busy and exciting time ahead

im so glad to hear all of you ladies are doing well. The time seems to have flown by, an exciting few weeks ahead!!

@Hotmalibu94 Get ready to feel phantom kicks for years after 😂 It's so weird! Last stretch now ❤️ Are you going on mat leave soon?

@Ncl31 That sounds lush! Lots to look forward to 😍

@Ncl31 sounds like some fab trips! I hope you have a wonderful time 😊

@etaketak1991 I'm technically on 3 weeks annual leave at the moment but I am finished with work! Mat leave starts officially 3rd June 😁 already loving sitting around the house. DH comes home and asks if I want to get out so I don't go stir crazy and I'm like, I'm perfectly fine sat in my little bubble 😂

@Hotmalibu94 @Hollie18 how are you ladies? Must be very near the end unless any early babies?

@etaketak1991 @EK37 @Ncl31 how are you guys doing? 😊

it’s insane how fast time is going and how quickly I’m getting uncomfortable lol 30 weeks now!

@CatiaR Hey! I'm good thanks, hitting 33 weeks on Wednesday. I've got a growth scan tomorrow and then a consultant appointment due to preeclampsia last pregnancy. So far so clear though 🤞 How are.you getting along? Feeling you on the uncomfortable front, I feel almost constantly overheated 🥵

Hope everyone else is keeping well ❤️

@CatiaR hi! I am doing well thank you! 22 weeks now which is crazy it’s really flying by!!!

you are on the home stretch now which is so exciting!
