Yes it took us 3 years!! DH doesn't ejaculate. We did 2 cycles of at home insemination and boom, worked 2nd time.

This is our first baby. DH is just so shell shocked. Erm what did you think was going to happen when you were providing me with the goods in a pot so I could syringe it in :haha:. Bless him. Im sure he'll come around. I won't mention it for a bit now and let him bring it up when he's ready

:rofl: that’s great that the insemination worked quite quickly! So funny about dh though!
 
Yes I wasn't expecting it to be so fast. He'll come around.... eventually I'm sure
 
I’m sure he’s thrilled! They just don’t show it like we do! Plus I think it’s easier for them to forget about it and go on about daily life. Whereas it’s in my mind every second!

Exciting to finally have someone having their first!!

I’m using a donor, as I did with DD I was just with an ex-girlfriend at the time, so I did at home insems too. Dd was first cycle. This one third though I did conceive the first cycle but had a CP.
 
Ugh I’m 4 weeks today and I’ve been feeling sick all afternoon. This is how it started with my 3rd, and I was nauseous every day from 5-28 weeks. not happy it’s started so early this time :( but I’ll be a lot faster to get meds if it continues. I waited 7 horrendous weeks last time and it was just awful.
 
@doggylover i am right there with you, never had the gagging or aversions start this early before! At least I have almost no nausea (never have)... unless I have to look at or smell or think about food haha. I am definitely super irritable, too. Just a short fuse.

i am trying to talk myself out of buying more ICs, I want to keep testing but I know it’s just a waste of money and a potential reason to worry. With my first I only tested once a week after AF was due! And took the other test from the pack a week or so later just cause I had it. It was better that way. But after a loss, you worry more... you know it truly can happen and you know how awful it feels. But I don’t want to throw money away on tests so I am holding out for now.
 
I agree completely @MrsKatie a loss really is always in your mind and worrying you.

I thought I was really good not buying any more tests - but I am testing every other day (and in between times using an opk :haha:) so It’s not as though I’m being entirely sane!! I think seeing how much other people test on here has definitely rubbed off on me!
 
Still feeling miserable and hardly able to function with the rx meds (a week in on Bonjesta)- I can’t up the dose like I technically could because it has me falling asleep while I’m watching my kids- which I can do for a bit as they are almost school age and the home is small enough I can hear them from every room, but definitely not all day. First scan and appt tomorrow- I’ll be talking to them and hopefully we can find something better that helps! (I’ve tried all of the otc stuff and diet changes too.)
 
Hahaha yes! Until that first appointment you just need to feel in control somehow!
 
Ahhh little beauty! @tdog loveky scan pic!

@SCgirl :hugs: I’m so sorry you’re so miserable. Definitely speak with your dr as I know there are a variety of medications the can give, maybe this just isn’t the one for you
 
Congrats @MrsKatie @doggylover and @Nixnax on your BFP! It’s great to see you all in here.

I’m 26 and this is my first baby. I was so excited when I first got my BFP and DH was happy but not as in shock as I was. I keep thinking it’s not real and I don’t think I will until I start feeling something. I’m in my 8th week now and the nausea started last week and I’ve lost all appetite... surviving off cereal and crackers but I know I need to still eat enough!

I’ve also noticed that I’m waking up at 6am rather than sleeping through to 8am. Is this the end of my 8 hours sleep every night! Haha. Thought I’d have until the baby got here haha.

I’m definitely more nervous now about the actual birth! Really have no idea what to expect so as soon as I start telling people, I’ll hopefully be able to ask more people about it!

It is hard when it's your first you don't have a clue where to start or anything :shrug: honest different people with tell you different things about birth, I heard it all and honest I had just gas and air but my pain threshold is quite high tho xx

If you ask 100 people about birth you’ll get 100 different stories! Best thing to do is think what your ideal situation would be, if all goes swimmingly what would you like? Water birth, pain meds etc. But also just be very aware of the fact that you can’t predict anything and just be really open to change and going with the flow.

Don’t worry about wha you’re eating. Just eat what you can. You’ll be able to make up for it later in the pregnancy. First tri is often about survival and doing what you can just to feel ok.
