Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 4!!

Still awake. Slightly annoying. Plenty of time to create worries! Feeling slight cramps, but otherwise just awake.

I am not 'still' awake but now just awake for the day...actually slept pretty well last night for one of the first times since BFP. Hope you are not creating too many midnight worries time2deal, those wee hours are the worst for making your mind run wild.

Is anyone else getting diarrhoea? Sorry if tmi I keep coming over with these absolutely crippling crampy pains, feeling faint and nauseous and suddenly dripping with sweat, and having a trip to the bathroom that evacuates the contents of my body in liquid form in about 5 seconds...I am wondering if this is my version of morning sickness?! Last night it came over me after I had just started eating dinner and I was sick too. Ended up having half a jam sandwich for 'dinner' and feeling a bit sorry for myself!

Apart from that, I have been feeling really rough throughout the day but not actually vomiting. I have to avoid letting my tummy get empty or I feel awful.

Still because I am not being really sick, I am worrying that I am not getting enough symptoms! Doh! Got mw appointment on Friday so I will ask about the diarrhoea then.

Finding work really difficult. I am very emotional and snappy which does not make dealing with classrooms full of teenagers easy - my patience appears to have abandoned me! Also, can't go to the toilet when I need to, unless there is someone nearby to stand in my classroom for me, but there isn't usually. So I have been feeling really rotten at work and hating every second

Sounds like plenty of symptoms to me! In getting a little, umm, looser stools but I think that cause of the progesterone supplements us ivf ladies take. I had one major painful bathroom trip on Sunday, which scared me, but otherwise not too bad.

I'm not really worrying much. I'm still in the euphoria phase I think. I also feel like a fog of depression from the last 3-4 years had been lifted, and I've suddenly found my old personality. Even if this one doesn't work, I'm going to try to make sure I dont let myself fall back down that hole. I'm even enjoying work again!! Over the last few years I've totally lost faith in myself, personally and professionally, and it's impacted everything about me. I have few friends left as they all got pregnant and it was too painful. But I have to stop that. Time to remember I'm a better person than I have been recently.

End of self-pep talk. Time to get up.

Hey t2d - also having a regular 3am wee!

I feel totally the same about a weight being lifted. On our walk me and OH were talking about this. We hadn't even realised but there had always been that something in the background even if we were Having fun. We both just feel lighter somehow.

Because of this I'm determined not to worry now - I'm sick of it. Whatever happens will happen but whilst the going is good I'm going to bloody enjoy it!

Told my boss yesterday - she knows every little details so thought it only fair. She has been amazing.

Her reaction was priceless!

Also - people can say what they like about the Nhs but with this and my motherinlaws recent cardiac arrest they've been marvellous.

Just a quick post before heading off to work.

Daisiegg, I had this!! I had this in about week 3/4/5 (so right over the Christmas period). It's what really gave away to me that I was pregnant (my period being late happened occasionally, so just went with it and assumed it would turn up when it was ready). As you say, bubbly stomach, then these crampy pains and rushing to the bathroom! I had it for a week or so, maybe two? It then settled down after a couple of weeks, thank goodness. Now I have the usual constipation, but let's not go there. But I felt exactly the same way, as I had barely any symptoms other than that - only in the last few days had proper feeling queasy in the mornings and that's at 10 weeks plus! (Nothing forcing some breakfast down can't fix).

Oh, and as for patience? Mine has well and truly disappeared. As you say, not useful when dealing with teenagers - I'm dealing with 3 year olds... So lots of deep breaths and counting to 10. But hang in there, daisiegg. Not long to go until your midwife appointment, then you can have your mind put at rest. If it helps I had to keep reminding myself that this is probably what is a normal pregnancy for me; just because you may not get all the well talked about symptoms that are "expected", doesn't mean your pregnancy is any less real or whatever and worrying about lack of symptoms isn't going to do you or baby any good. I hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to say and I hope it helps. Chin up.

Congratulations to all the long-time TTC who got their BFP's the last few days - absolutely wonderful news!! :T

Day 9 of my cold. I had a coughing fit until 1am last night. It was so bad I started to abdominal pain. I have a doctors appointment today to see if anything can be done.

But last night I actually managed to sleep all the way through - woohoo. Multiple toilets stops in the night are nothing new for me.

T2D, I'm now off the progesterone but still getting very slight cramps.

At some point I think I should go and see the IVF counsellor. The toils from the last few years has not lifted and I don't want to carry the weight forever.

Welcome and congrats newcomers

Very pleased for you Bluebell, glad everything was well with the scan.

I had my booking appointment yesterday. Nothing really to report, my BMI is 21.5 and I have actually lost 4 lbs since registering almost 4 weeks ago, it must be because I have been trying to eat well because I have not been sick once. My medical history indicted no risks so the midwife is happy to see me again at 15 weeks.

She has referred me for dating scan w/c 3rd March so I just have to wait now for the hospital to confirm a date

I thought by now that I may have had some cramping as my uterus is supposed to have doubled in size!

I did finally get round to picking up some more CB digi tests and got my 3+ weeks yesterday so I do feel reassured.

I'm going mad I think. I can't stop poas and freaking myself out. There's two camps on the poas constantly on the internet- the first being that if the lines aren't getting darker you're doomed and the second being that the tests aren't that accurate- they'll give a bfp or bfn answer, can't really be used to see if anything is going wrong only when it's gone wrong and to step away from the tests...

My tests aren't getting darker. Rational me knows the second answer is right but ttc for nearly 3 years me is totally freaking out....

Peonie, I go to see my hewitt counsellor on Friday. I'm assuming I won't be able to see her after that as this happened naturally. I'm freaking out at the idea of losing her rational thinking and reassurance. I can't recommend her enough so if you want her name pm me- unless you already have one of course!
