TTC February 2024 ✨

[RW269]

Thought I’d make a new thread for those of us Ttc in February 2024. I know some of us will cross over from end of Jan to Feb! Wishing everyone all the luck ✨❤️

@KittyFantastica @RW269 hey loves so so sorry for silence had a horrid couple of weeks not being able to hold much down!

@KittyFantastica what fantastic news!!! That's such a lovely update to have seen - and how wonderful baba was thumb sucking too. How are you feeling lovely? I really do hope this is smooth for you from here and the wait to seeing baba again at 20 weeks doesnt feel too long!

@RW269 how are you doing love?? Thinking of you lots.

I'm third trimester now over here...! Which feels like such a milestone to get to. I managed to make it out yesterday and indulged in a very cute little baby grow and I think baby has a name...! Just hoping this relentless sickness stops at some point and I get a little bit of time between it and the baby's arrival... x

@KittyFantastica great news....keeping all crossed for you....please god....have faith and believe all is well...

@ButterflySkies awwh I hope that improves keeping stuff down! Not too long to go now!
Can’t believe you’re in your third trimester now already! That’s gone so fast!
awwh what’s your cute baby grow like? ☺️ oh that’s exciting! When you feel happy sharing what name you’re thinking of please do! Lovely to hear baby Olaf progressing! 🩷

plodding along here, my hospital appointment has been moved to this November instead of next year so that’s nice! Got my fingers crossed still it’ll happen on its own time🤞 end of this week I’ll know if it’s happened this month for us 🤞

@KittyFantastica Oh my goodness I’ve not been on here in a little while so read both your updates in a row there! So so gorgeous look at this little scan photo 😍 so happy for you things are looking more upbeat 🩷

@ButterflySkies @KittyFantastica @Noisinmaro & all I’ve not tagged 😂 hope you’re all doing okay 🩷🩷🩷

@RW269 good, tested today got a negative so trying no to despair but it's hard...anyways onwards to next month....its very hard after a miscarriage....

@Noisinmaro I’m sorry to hear that 🩷 got everything crossed for next month for you! ✨

Hey loves! @Noisinmaro sorry to hear that lovely got everything crossed for you!!

@RW269 how are you doing? Pleased your appointment has come forwards!! Good news!!

Sorry for silence my side - finally diagnosed. I've got the dreaded HG... throwing up between 8-20 times a day and feeling totally awful. Anything and everything sets me off from movement to lights to smell to food...! It's been a slog getting the right meds and support for it, but I think I'm levelling out again now! Very, very happy baby Kit (I think we're settled on Kit, for now anyway!) is growing ok and super active but I am feeling very sorry for myself, and you cant help but worry (I'm about a stone down over the last six weeks). Work are being amazing, working from home (often from bed), taking the time I need when I'm super poorly and definitely considering stopping early...! Xxx

I just did a clear blue not the digital within first minute I got a line a blue one not a grey one , I presume it's a false positive and it's an evaporation line as did 2 boots and a boots digital last couple days....and all negative....
Im only day 24 out of a 30 day cycle since the mis in May....so I did test very early with boots on day 22 and 23 i know bit silly....anyways my anxiety will sore now wondering...why do I do this to myself....

@Butterflyskies Im a bit distracted didnt mean to ignore your message Sorry you have HG, girl at work had it was terrible for her, hope your being minded and you don't have long to go......

Hi @RW269 @Noisinmaro @ButterflySkies and everyone.

I'm doing okay, thank you @RW269. I'm 14 weeks now, though it still feels surreal and fragile. I'm sick every day, but it's not too bad, honestly. I'm quote lucky.

Sorry to hear you've got HG @ButterflySkies it's just awful how often it can happen and the feeling hungry and sick at the same time makes it even worse! Hope you've got some medication to help. Kit is a great name, will that be Kit Olaf, by any chance?

Ahh @Noisinmaro sorry you've had a disappointment on your last tests, it's still early though, there's time, right? Those ClearBlue tests are a nightmare, they get so many people's hopes up! I found the digitals even worse and they need such a solid concentration to provide a positive. I've got everything crossed for you!

@ButterflySkies oh I’m so sorry to hear you’ve got HG really hope the meds do level it out for you for the rest of your time! 🩷 So good you’re being supported by your work and that’s now a stress on you! Kit is such a cute name love that!
I’m alright thanks, just starting the tww again, what a draining 10 months 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 no giving up here though!

@Noisinmaro keeping everything crossed for you, that is very early still! 🤞🤞

@KittyFantastica

14 weeks Awwh how lovely! Are you planning to find out boy/girl or are you going for a surprise? :)

I don't know....
I've used clear blue before lots and lots and lots of times, I'm an experienced tester, never had a one that gave me an incorrect result...always get a blank screen....then odd time took a test out of a bin get a grey evaporation line....but its a line grey line....
This wasn't grey was blue came up straight...
I got a blue line straight away was in disbelief within the 3 minutes its says 3 minutes on this early one...
Haven't retested as afraid ill get a blank so going to try and wait until Saturday.....

@Noisinmaro keep us updated Saturday 🤞 hoping for some good news for you! 🩷

Did.a.clear blue 6 day early test, got a strong line so no denying it's positive....cant be evaporation line....popped up well withing the 3 minutes.....
So will try stay positive and keep it light as they say...in my head...delighted got a.bfp so soon....
I've learned.a.lesson don't test early esp.on a non early test...was.sobbing on.wednesday.....
Was.away Thursday amd last night on a hitel break
..I.didnt drink or have coffee....glad.now...no goats cheese or poached eggs or shellfish all the things I love...hubby was up the bloody walls....he alot calmer now....

Oh wow, wonderful news @Noisinmaro! Tentative congratulations, I know the anxiety so well, but remember every time is different. I really, really hope this is your time!

Also, you can safely have up to 200mg of caffeine a day (so a coffee would be fine) and eggs can be served soft if they've got the red lion on them! I've mostly given up caffeine as I don't drink coffee, but it makes me feel better for if I want a soft drink when we go out :)

Keep us posted 🤞

@Noisinmaro sending you all the positivity! Congratulations and I have everything hopeful for it to go well 🩷✨

@KittyFantastica I forgot caffeine in coke drank good bit over last 2 days normally don't ever drink a.soft drink...
Yeah must look up the foods not to eat....
Did either.of yee get put om.progesterone tablet after mis?
I'm on a thyroid tablets so I think il go.into doctor real soon....

Hey ladies - sorry long day in hosp yesterday after lots of sick this week but feeling a smidge better today! Yep I think we are settled on Kit (my daughter would LOVE Olaf still!) which is nice at this point!

@Noisinmaro how exciting!! Sending tentative congratulations lovely and a big hand hold through the next couple of weeks, it's so nerve wracking. Please dont beat yourself up over caffeine. It won't change any outcome. I can only drink coke atm and the midwives keep reassuring me the risks around caffeine at any stage are SO tiny. It won't have had any impact lovely.

@RW269 how are you doing lovely? How's the TWW treating you? Miss having my TWW buddy!!

@KittyFantastica 14 weeks is exciting! Hope the sickness isnt too bad - if it doesn't let up soon, get yourself some meds. They do work, but the sooner you start them the more effective they are and im paying the price for that now. So definitely get the help and dont suffer through xxx

@ButterflySkies Awwh hope you’re feeling a tiny bit better today! Sorry to hear you’re feeling so sick! Kit is lovely maybe Olaf could be a special nickname your daughter calls him 😂
The tww is actually getting me so down this month, it just feels a bit like gearing up for disappointment all over again 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 but I’ll hopefully snap out of that soon enough 🤞🤞xxx

Oh @RW269 the TWW is so so gruelling... have you got nice bank hol weekend plans to distract yourself with lovely?

I hope this is the month for you I really do, this might be so crap to say and it must feel like ages away but we are edging closer to your appointment now which is good! Hoping you dont need it but we are getting there!

Sending a huge hug and hope you're taking your mind off it now lovely xxx

Hi Ladies just caught up in the thread as I'm still hanging about. Nice to see some positivity. So I have had 2 periods now since the last mc and I'm in o ulation stages now I believe haven't done a y sticks though as just taking it day by day atm. We have our appiontmemt o 21st Sept with the recurring mc clinic so hoping to get some answers or get pregnant . X

@ButterflySkies I was working all of the bank holiday weekend sadly! Which I suppose has helped a few days go by but this must be the slowest tww going! Haha! Roll on the weekend!
Yes, I feel a little better knowing Novembers app is getting nearer so if there is any problems I can have some help! Hope you’re feeling a bit better with your sickness? 🩷Xxx

@Racket81 hello lovely! Wishing you all the luck! That’s so good you’ve got an appointment booked for September (though I hope it’s your month before that!) 🤞🤞🤞
Hope you’re keeping okay it’s a rough time! Xxx

Lovely to hear from you @Racket81 and that your appointment is soon! Hoping it's your month before that though lovely.

@RW269 not relaxing but good to pass the time!! How are you feeling now lovely?

I'm ok, I'm trending up on these tablets finally and had a growth/placental function scan today and baby is ticking along fine which is such a huge relief! My emotions are all over the place...! X

@ButterflySkies yeah I’ve got a couple days off now and found myself at such a lose end! I’ve started binge watching 90 day fiancé as a distraction whilst I do my clothes folding. Running out of distractions hahah!
Bless you what a rollercoaster, must be exhausting being so poorly then the relief of little baby growth scan being okay! Glad baby Kit is ticking along happily! How many weeks do you have left now? Xxx

Wasn’t to be my time again, back to cd6 for me 🤦🏻‍♀️ here’s hoping it’s this cycle 🤞

hope you’re all keeping okay 🩷
