SQUARE ONE TO GRADUATES! Over here! Let's go find those BFPS!

Hi Mimi and Tee, nice of you to ask about us! I know we'll have news from you soon. I miss being on the thread properly but enjoy reading it and hearing about you all. Tough times are shit and there's no sugar coating it! Just hope that nobody on here has to wait too much longer for their BFPs. I know how much you want it and oh my are they deserved!!!
Very exciting Radders and Jodders! I went at 37 weeks! Looking forward to news about Russ and your Twin as well Tee. Does she know the sex? Hi Jam, Kate and Footy!! The thread is so full it's great, lots of lovely new people!

Hi all, I fell off the thread and only just got back to it. Looking forward to having a read over the past few pages to catch up. Hoping for good news soon for you all! How has everybody been? It's a tough process but I know we will all get there.
Baby Parney has been behaving himself and is still an absolute dream of a baby, I don't know where we got him so lovely to watch him change every day and develop his funny little personality. He's 6 weeks now and giving out smiles, mostly to me DH is trying hard!

1 dpo! Only time will tell!

Last day at work tomorrow. Had some students in tears today when I told em... wish management thought the same of its teachers!

It's great to hear from you Radders, Russ and Jodders. Eek so excited!

Glad to see a little positivity footy. Hope the conceive plus helps tee.

Kiki, my nausea always seem to be in the evenings. I'm completely full of cold today and feeling a bit rubbish so early night for me.

Glad you are feeling a bit brighter footy hon

Kiki hope your queasiness settles.

Jodders- hope the birth goes well for you. Would love to hear all your news soon!

Wondering if my ovaries have gone asleep again as I really haven't felt much so far. I'm about cd13? Had a good day today (first in ages)! Spent time with a friend chatting about stuff and she was so encouraging. "H" came back from work and was a bit loving towards me, said he enjoyed last night and felt close. Bought me a bottle of prosecco and flowers. I know that's not going to make up what he did to me over Christmas but it's a start in the right direction.

Hope everyone is alright, Kate enjoy your holiday! Lucky u xx

Lovely to hear from you grads, glad to hear all is going well xxx

Its so lovely seeing all these pregnant ladies and hearing where you are at! How exciting that you will be holding your newborns soon!!

Definitely worth a try tee - FX!

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better beagles good luck with dtd!

Had a call from my fertility dr this morning and I have a 7 week scan on the 7th Feb to check all is well so fingers crossed this is a sticky bean - starting to feel very tired and nauseous when hungry!

Tee - bet you're so excited to be an Aunty! And you will be holding your own soon xxx

Footy that's made my insides go funny that it could be so soon! Hehe I do wake up excited everyday although I hope he holds out another couple of weeks!

I'm going to have a day of sorting tomorrow. I think I will feel better then.

We pick up the pool on Friday so will start getting our room sorted then too.

Aw Jam I know me too I thought we would be similar as well... I would be doing what you're thinking and would be saying we have been trying longer than have. They don't know any different do they and it gets the ball rolling. It will be your turn soon xx

I'm just sitting here kind of reminiscing about what I did the month I conceived and all I can think of is i was taking EPO, OH was taking vitamin C and I've just checked and we DTD CD 6, 8, 11,12,14 and 17.
Temp on Cd 14 was 35.97 and on 15 was 36.19 so ovulated around then. I remember being a bit more relaxed that cycle too as we had a chemical a couple of cycles before which really upset me so I was making an effort to be a bit more laid back!

I don't think what works for one works for another though. It's all so complicated.

Good to hear from you Jodders. Sorry to hear you've had complication. Not long for you at all! Any tips on what to put in the hospital bag?!

Russ great to hear from you too.

I will let you know when our little boy is here! Xx

Hey pregnant ladies glad all is well. Wow time has flown for you. I had 1st ds at 37 weeks and 2nd at 38w. Eeeek you are so close. Hope it all goes well for you all xx

Yay Jodders, Radders & Russ!! So lovely to hear of your amazingly progressed pregnancies!! It's so encouraging!! My twin is also due next Tuesday Jodders! Will be wonderful holding a newborn... I'm literally aching to hold my own again** tho 👶🏼
Beagles great that the epo is kicking in! I think I probably am lacking in the ewcm department, it seems to show a while before OD, so hoping the conceive plus will help. Great to hear it could have helped you Kiki!

Hi ladies! I'm still here following you all and willing you all on. Welcome to all the newbies there are quite a few.
I'm almost 39 weeks now! Have had a few complications recently but the finish line is in sight. Hopefully next week I will be back to show you baby jodders!

Beagles I find doing it when I get in from work sometimes works well. If we wait until bedtime I'm often too tired.

Glad all is going well Russ

Meant to be - went for an ultrasound! (Bloody phone!!)

I'm also still here and rooting for you all, lovely ladies!
Tee, so sorry it's not your month!
Kiki, massive congratulations!!
Footy, glad things are improving at home.
Thinking of the rest of you!
Just got back from my clinic in Riga and also decided for Udcwhole there. My DH was with me and asked my dad to come along (don't have mum anymore). The scan (equivalent to 20w NHS anomaly scan) was so thorough and got so many photos including a 3D image. Suffice to say my little one is developing well! And she was so active and gave us High Five! Loved it! Dad was in such an awe and emotional! Bless him! My 20w with NHS is on the 31st, will still go for it. It's so nice to see her every time there's a scan! Oh and I bought a pram while there, much cheaper! And saved £300 on a pram alone (3-in-1 combination).
At my 12w NHS scan was given extra scans to attend due to my "ancient" age! So will go for 28, 32 and 36 weeks and see a midwife inbetween. Pleased about it.
Think I've started feeling my little one ! Unless it's a hunger rambling noise in my tummy?! Hmmm
Other than that just very pleased and received that everything is going well!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are so close now!

I remember thinking we would conceive at a similar time, I'm not sure why, maybe us both being first timers? Ahhh I can't believe I could have been having a baby so soon too. I've never even seen a second line!

I am really happy for you though radders, and wishing everything to go very smoothly for you. And looking forward to hearing about his/her arrival! Eeeek.

I'm still here! Thanks for asking about me. 37 weeks on Friday - still no baby yet!

Trying to get everything sorted but feel like running out of time. We have decided to plan for a homebirth but you still have to pack bags etc for hospital.

Had baby shower on Saturday which was lovely.

Still egging you all on for bfps and keep checking xxx

Kate - have a lovely time in California I love it there, get some well deserved r+r xx

Jam - not too bad thanks got a few symptoms creeping in:- tired, very sore boobs! No complaints though as just happy it's there x

What a lovely thing to say tee thank you and all of you should stay positive, sometimes it might take some extra help but it does happen eventually. Good idea with the conceive plus we used that this time and I guess it works! Hope you enjoy your spa weekend x

Go for it Jam, I wouldn't blame you at all for exaggerating. I think getting the ball rolling with that will help with your morale in general anyway. You wouldn't be entitled to IVF if you already have a DC I guess? I'm just wondering if/when I should re-pursue my referral to a specialist? Although we have technically conceived, I'm still battling in my head between it being bad luck, or some issue which is stopping my body holding onto a pregnancy. I'm inclined to wait a couple more months, and obviously will push for investigations if (touch wood) I mc'd a third time.

Thanks tee I'm trying to stay chilled, doing my daily yoga and keeping distracted. I swear every month I forget how long the TWW is. Can't believe next cycle will be cycle 15! I was considering exaggerating a little when we see the specialist and say we've been trying 18-19 months - I've got a feeling it might be 2 years before you can have IVF.

Glad you are bouncing back, you are a very strong lady and I'm sure you will get your BFP for keeps soon.

Thanks everybody, I think I'd got my hopes up a bit. Oh well.
Beagles I've never heard of that bracelet! Really hope you get fully well asap.
Footy so glad things are looking up with DH. Definitely a long slog ahead, but sounds like you are on track and heading in the right direction. I think having a more relaxed approach is a great idea.
Jam I'm sure you are kicking back chilling in the 2ww. Keep stress levels down. I was reading that cortisol (stress hormone) can occupy receptor sites for progesterone in the body if levels get too high, so sounds like to keep progesterone high you need to give it the best chance by keeping stress low. Food for thought!
Kate that is disgusting behaviour from your school! You are well shot, definitely confirmation you are doing the right thing moving on.
Kiki really hope you are feeling good and bean progressing nicely!! Enjoy this time, you so deserve it after how long you've waited. Gives us all hope it does happen eventually.
Mimi so lovely to hear from you! Hope you are good! We aren't far apart in our cycle now.
Nim hope all good for you too.

I often think about Parney, Radders, Jodders etc too...

I have ordered my opks and some 'conceive plus', couldn't ignore those reviews!! Think we will go for a 'little and often' approach this month rather than go crazy in FW. Although I would still be keen to hit OD-1 and OD! We have a spa weekend this week, so that be a nice start, plus I can enjoy the sauna etc now x
