8dp5dt - headache is killing me

27 Replies

Good Morning lovely ladies, omg what I night I had! Awake with my head literally EXPLODING. My dear husband woke up and gave me paracetamol (I usually don’t like taking other meds during 2ww but couldn’t resist 🙈🙈🙈) and now feeling slightly better although still in bed. Thanks to you all I did not test last night, I am really trying to stay as positive as I can, but I really can’t wait for Friday- I need a result, I can’t wait any longer!

I hope you are all well and positive 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Sending baby dust and love to you beautiful human beings!!! ❤️

Morning Issy, hope your headache is subsiding! I am dying to test too but I am not confident at all so ignorance is bliss for me at the moment.

I have decided to wait till Sunday. You? Waiting till Friday? Xx

in reply toMmmpudding

Hey pudding! I know I know that’s the reason why I haven’t tested- I’m a chicken 🐓😂yes waiting until Friday so I have the weekend to recover, and go to the spa!!!!! I really need to chill...how are you Hun? X

Spa! That sounds amazing. I am not feeling great myself, there is hardly any positivity left in me. To distract myself I’m going to.....Ikea...today. I don’t even know why I am going there, but it’s almost an hour away from me, so i will treat it as an outing haha! Friday is the day after tomorrow so really not long now xx

in reply toMmmpudding

Ahahaha I’ve been to Ikea on Saturday- not the best day. It was packed and I was angry at everybody for being in my way so basically I’ve zoomed across corridors to get out with my poor husband trying to search for a ceramic knife (after I told him that ikea doesn’t have them ahaha) - just picture the scene 😂I hope you’ll have a better day today! Yes Friday is not far and somehow I now don’t want to test ahaha I know it’ll be a bfn again 😢

I’m the same as you now, I don’t want to test anymore. Not knowing seems better than bad news. However, to me, a bfn right away is better than a miscarriage later on. Oops, too much negativity going on here...we are both going get our BFP on our OTD :D

in reply toMmmpudding

Yes, we’re going to get our BFPs!!!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I really rate those kool 'n' soothe forehead patches when i get these... they don't have those awful menthol smells either. So hard not taking proper drugs with these headaches! :-( Hang in there and wishing you luck for Friday. Also, congrats on not caving early! x

in reply toAuroraXen

Yes I rate them too! Thank goodness I didn’t have to go to work today because my hair is terrible after keeping the patch on all night 😂😂😂😂😂😂thank you Aurora 🍀🤞🏻💋

Ah you have my sympathies... I typically take paracetamol, ibuprofen AND codeine when I get bad headaches 😂 Which is obviously not possible right now... roll on Friday, when at least I'll know the score (eek...) xx

Ya poor pet. 🥺You are safe to take paracetamol ! 👍🏻Don’t be in agony over not wanting to take any , it’s only tablets you can take or codeine if you are in real agony 💖

Sure once you get through today , tomorrow is Thursday then Friday . You can do this now! Just 2 sleeps 💪🏻

You’ve got this!

I didn’t have my crazy eRly morning cramps this morning so don’t now what going on now. Defo feel like old Aunt Flo is knocking at the door 🚪 tho 😆 wish she would p off.

Hugs x 💐

in reply toRhinoCat

Hey Rhino dear 🦋look I think we should stop thinking about symptoms as meds play a massive part in it- we need to keep calm and get to test day. When’s your test day? Apologies if I’ve asked you already but my brain is not working properly lol x

Hope your feeling better. My test day is also Friday this week has been so hard and it’s only Wednesday. Monday I felt hopeful, yesterday I was positive it was gonna be a BFP today I feel it’s gonna be a BFN. Severe cramps and back ache like I always feel a couple days before Aunt Flo.

But really hoping you get a positive. The day after tomorrow time will fly by. X

in reply toPondev

Hi Pondev! I’m still miserable with my headache and really hungry 🙈Friday is round the corner we must resist! Was your embryo graded? Mine is a 3BB....yep I think it’s a bpf and 5 seconds later I think it’s a bfn 😂😱🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀we can only cross our fingers! How are you feeling today? X

Mine is 2BB have 3 grade AA in the freezer. Very negative today but my partner is keeping my spirits up.

Just baking dinner rolls now to distract myself. Hoping I feel better tomorrow so I can actually go out and about. I’m housebound driving me insane. I’m high risk for OHSS so clinic advised me no work during the 2ww

in reply toPondev

Mmmm dinner rolls you’re making me hungryyyyy! Omg I’d only eat junk food these days...🙈my hubby is out at a work dinner tonight so I’ll be having just a soup I can’t be bothered to cook and everything that smells puts me off...why did they pick a BB grade when you have AAs do you know? Anyway we’re BBs sisters! 😍🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀

Pondev in reply to

They said it would be better to freeze the AA as they would more likely survive the thaw. Clinic put me on high protein diet cause of the OHSS or I wud probably be eating junk felt nausea when I’m cooking meat or poultry so mostly baking cakes and bread. Starting dinner letting hubby finish can’t go in the kitchen. 😢😢will be looking out for update on Friday. 😃

in reply toPondev

Oh darling I know what you mean I am so sensitive to smells too...it’s the progesterone 🙈I hope you feel better soon xx take it easy and relax 😎

Pondev in reply to

Thanks I was overanalysing thought the sensitivity to smell was a sign of a BFP. The pessaries r driving me insane 😭

in reply toPondev

I think it’s too early for that kind of pregnancy symptoms 🙈the pessaries are really powerful, they totally take over my whole body! I’m so sick of them!
