Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@LoulouM12 aww that will be a lovely age gap too. I obviously haven’t told my sister yet. Yes fingers crossed 🤞🌈 xx

GSD2024 · 18/06/2024 09:34

Morning ladies, how are you all?

@Hannah4850 i hope you’re ok?

@LoulouM12 how are you feeling? X

LoulouM12 · 18/06/2024 09:41

Morning @GSD2024 I'm good thanks... Tested again this morning and am happy with line progression, although they could be darker, but the main thing is they're progressing and I'm getting proper positives on multiple brands of tests... And MUCH stronger than last month. But of course still early days. 4 + 2 today. It's such slow going in these early weeks isn't it?!

Feeling OK - lots of tightness/pulling in my bikini area and CONSTANTLY needing the loo but otherwise OK.

How are you feeling? How's the stitch/left side pain you were having?

@Hannah4850 and @Elspeth1990 how are you both feeling? Been thinking of you and really hope you're OK?

@JM1997 how are you? Are you in a bit less pain?

Good morning lovely!
So happy yours is progressing it really does drag in the first trimester everyday is like a week!
I'm back in hospital today my ketones are sky high again 😭
Haven't eaten for 2 days or held fluid down so more IV meds for me
Had a scan last week though after the last hospital admit as I had bleeding and baby is perfectly fine, strong heartbeat and wriggling away at 9wks so at least all my sickness isn't affecting the baby 💖

5dpo today!

@Hannah4850 awww look at the little bubba 🥹 I’m sorry to hear you’re back in hospital, but glad they are caring for you and baby!

@LoulouM12 same, I’ve just taken another test and still not super dark but fingers crossed it sticks 🤞 I feel fine, just got back ache!

5dpo today!
JM1997 · 18/06/2024 10:48

Hi ladies,
Sounds like almost everyone is there with getting pregnant after this cycle!! So happy for everyone 🩷🩷
@Hannah4850 it is lovely to see a pic of them at 9 weeks, and I’m glad everything is okay, just keep looking after yourself.
Good luck @GSD2024 i really hope it sticks!
Everyone make sure you’re looking after yourself.
I finished my AF yesterday, so my fertile window starts Sunday and I should ovulate next Thursday, so we are going to try and catch it this window this time, already got some ovulation tests coming 🤞🏻 I have just sent a stool sample to be checked by the doctor as they think there is inflammation in my bowels, my stomach cramp has gone down but still don’t feel 100% hoping that there won’t be anything found and then we can carry on trying!

GSD2024 · 20/06/2024 09:49

Hi @JM1997 i really hope this is your month 🤞

I re-tested this morning, this is the progression between Tuesday and today 🥹 I really hope it sticks, but I don’t want to refer yet as I had the chemical at 5 weeks so want to try and book a 6 week scan before I refer to the midwife

5dpo today!

JM1997 · 20/06/2024 09:53

@GSD2024 thank you so much! I really appreciate it. We have just joined a lovely gym as I read somewhere that being fit and healthy can help with fertility, so it is time to work on ourselves to give us the best possible chance!
Took my ovulation test, I am due to ovulate next week, but the lines are strong. Let me know what you think. I’ll show you!
I am keeping everything crossed that it sticks 🤞🏻keep me updated!

5dpo today!
GSD2024 · 20/06/2024 09:54

@JM1997 ohh that looks like a good line, I would say keep testing every afternoon and DTD 🤞

oooo that's looking a good LH line - keep testing! My peak comes and goes super fast...

How're you feeling? Great work on the gymming - feeling physically fitter defo helps and for me helps mentally too.

JM1997 · 20/06/2024 09:57

@GSD2024 thank you! I have bought a pack of 40 ovulation tests so I can test all the way from now until I am due to ovulate! I have learnt that cheap tests are better, plus doing an ovulation test makes you happy when you see the two lines 🤣🤣🤣 x

JM1997 · 20/06/2024 09:59

@LoulouM12 they look like some good tests. Keeping everything crossed it sticks!
Absolutely, I’ve made sure I’ve enough to do regular tests leading up to ovulation, and I am feeling okay actually, I think it is nice around this time because we can try as much as possible and then it is after the fertile window that my panic sets in 🤣🤣

Yeh I totally get that... The first two weeks of a cycle it's like 'Meh, period' then 'Yay, trying!' and then the dreaded TWW... Crossing everything for you this time around. Enjoy this week 😂

GSD2024 · 20/06/2024 10:04

@LoulouM12 wow, great lines 🤞🥰

JM1997 · 20/06/2024 10:16

@LoulouM12 absolutely the feeling of emotions it is like a cycle in itself 🤣🤣
Keep us updated with how the lines progress!

It is indeed! And the rollarcoaster doesn't stop when you get the lines either 😂😂😂

Grateful for this group, it's a funny one when no-one really knows 😅

GSD2024 · 20/06/2024 22:12

Evening ladies, how is everyone?

I had a really lovely day, had no symptoms and walked a long way to and from school runs. Then, this evening, the nausea has started. I’m only 4+5, I really hope it’s not going to start this early! 🫠 I’ve had the shakes and have not had any dinner. I guess it means things are progressing!

JM1997 · 23/06/2024 10:54

@GSD2024 glad to hear that you were feeling more yourself on the school run. Fingers crossed you don’t get too many symptoms early on🤞🏻
I am good thank you. We’ve just been down to see my old uni friends so had a lovely weekend, and we DTD on Thursday night which was lovely. I am due to ovulate next week, so will be DTD more regularly then 🥰🥰
keep us up to date how you’re feeling!

JM1997 · 23/06/2024 10:55

@LoulouM12 honestly it is a rollercoaster ride 🙈 absolutely so grateful for this group!

LoulouM12 · 24/06/2024 09:08

Hi ladies happy Monday! How are we all feeling?

@GSD2024 we are 5 + 2 today! How are you feeling? I hope your nausea isn't too bad? Have you got a scan booked?

I am feeling pretty dreadful in terms of exhaustion and nausea, but could be a lot worse. Going to bed super early and feel like I've been hit by a bus when I wake up in the morning (or my daughter wakes me!)... I've a scan booked for 11th July when I'll be 7 + 4. And I have my midwife booking appointment next week which is crazy!

@JM1997 you sound really positive! Hope this week continues that way and lots of DTD 😂

@Hannah4850 and @Elspeth1990 been thinking of you both and really hope you're both feeling a bit better and managing to rest lots.

xxx

Elspeth1990 · 24/06/2024 09:13

@LoulouM12 thanks for thinking of me. I have just been hibernating until my scan on Friday. I can't wait to speak to my consultant about the previa. It was a different doc at the hosp at my 12 week scan. Joint pain flaring up already (I have pre-existing condition). Fun! 14 weeks today and it feels like I've been pregnant forever. Baby4 would have been 22 weeks gestation on Friday.

Hope everyone is doing well. Early preg is so tough.

JM1997 · 24/06/2024 10:53

@LoulouM12 thank you so much, I have done another ovulation test this morning and it is still a faint line but I’m due to ovulate on Thursday, however we DTD last night as well which is the first day of my fertile window!! We are just going to DTD as much a possible this window!!

Make sure you’re looking after yourself! Good luck with your appointments, and keep us in the loop.

How is everyone else doing ladies??

JM1997 · 25/06/2024 15:15

Hey ladies,
how is everyone doing?? 🥰
