Oh my goodness 🤩 misseinky34 thank you for taking time to respond. I don’t remember it with my first soon but I never have a problem sleeping so it is new. How soon do you remember not sleeping after conception? I’m not due to test until next Friday and that’s the early one x x

I have insomnia combined with crazy dreams but I'm putting it down to the Progesterone and Prednisolone I'm taking

I’ve had it throughout my pregnancy though not in my 2ww. But it’s such an anxious time that it’s not surprising you can’t sleep. Good luck for your test day x

Yay! Its nice to have someone at the exact same stage!

I am a bit constipated- trying to stay on top of this with lactose and fluids. So if I get the odd cramp I'm certain its my bowels!

I ordeted pregnancy tests online today. I couldn't bare buying them in person and have them in the house.

Plan is to test at home Friday morning then need to be at clonic for 8.30.

When are you going to test?

Sorry to hear about your constipation, not comfortable for you. going on holiday tonight so will have a great distraction! Away with 12 of my family in one house. Plan to test next Friday. What date did ovulation take place for you ? How many days in your cycle? Have you been trying long? Going to test next Friday doing the 6 day early one so maybe we at the same stage if your doing early test? X x

Yes, definitely. First successful cycle I had it from around 3-4 days post transfer and it lasted my entire pregnancy. This time round it’s started again but later on. Hoping it doesn’t last the entire time this time. I hope it is a good sign for you. Good luck!

Definitely a sign for me. I’m sure it’s a rapid increase in certain hormones that’s the cause. I had really bad insomnia for s good few weeks xxx

Hi Amanda86 thank you for your reply. I think it’s related to what you say I’ve tried to conceive for over three years , just come off 18 month break due to poor
