Thread 6 already. We are a bunch of ladies who are either

  • humping (TTC)
  • by humping yet (waiting to TTC)
  • humped (preggers)

And everything in between!

We've had 7 BFPs in three months and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Buzz thanks you are giving me hope... you are quite young though aren't you? Sorry if that sounds rude Grin

buzzmoon · 03/04/2017 18:32

Amazing seven! I'm panicking a little because I've been so distracted and suddenly it's April and I hadn't done anything in the garden!! Beds all prepped now so look forward to the weekend when I can plant! I bought a lovely trellis arch too which I need to figure out how to put that up 🤔

buzzmoon · 03/04/2017 18:30

dancing glad to hear you're alive! Hope you've got lots of nice things like magazines and yummy snacks. I got some Daim mini eggs earlier 🤤

grumpy 7+3 here and zero nausea so you'll probably be fine!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/04/2017 18:24

In other news I found a Pilates class at work so I'm going in about an hour Smile decided to try and do at least 30 mins exercise every day even just a brisk walk, to take control of my weight gain as I am banned from hot yoga till end of May!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/04/2017 18:23

I'm not feeling nauseous at all, can anyone else who is further along advise as I'll be flying to LA at 7+2 (and back at 8+5) and I'm worried! I hate feeling sick on a plane more than anything! With my DD I did not get any nausea but I was 18 then.. now almost 31!
So my question is if you are feeling sick now or did at 7-8wks, when did it start? I'm desperately hoping I won't get it.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/04/2017 18:18

Dancing big hugs, take care of yourself xxx

penguinsandotters · 03/04/2017 18:17

dancing good to hear you're alive. How did it go? Hope you have a nice, relaxing evening ahead. Do take care of yourself.

penguin we are in a similar boat except I didn't have any spotting. I'm really hoping I've ovulated again later in the month but not knowing is driving me insane. Wish I'd asked for another progesterone test later in the cycle but it's too late now. I don't have many sticks left so don't want to keep POAS. Perhaps I'll order more online tonight. Remind me what CD are you now?

JB1983 · 03/04/2017 18:04

Hope you are doing ok dancing x

DancingUnicorn · 03/04/2017 18:02

I'm alive!!!! :D

I'm home now, and feeling blessed that there are so many lovely people in the world. You guys are all so lovely!

Sorry you're having a bad day penguin. :( are you able to do something nice this evening to make up for it?

Jupiter, how is littlest niece doing? Did you get more cuddles over the weekend?

Seven0fNine · 03/04/2017 17:42

Sorry you're having a shitty time penguin I hope you know one way or the other soon xxx

Seven0fNine · 03/04/2017 17:41

oooh loads buzz - Some herbs, pansies, lavender so far (have planted more bedding plant seeds but they haven't germinated yet but were out of date so may not...) then outside I've planted some peas, broad beans, sweet peas, beetroot and broccoli and just threw down a load of random seeds on my little rockery area and hoping for the best - poppies, cornflower, etc. Trying to get the garden looking better for Friday as having my friends round for the first BBQ of the year.

NaturWilde · 03/04/2017 17:18

Penguin if not your your peace of mind/getting to know your cycle better, I'd be testing!

buzzmoon · 03/04/2017 17:14

Sorry you're having a bad day penguin! What tests have you got indoors? I'd be tempted I think... fingers crossed!

seven what have you got growing? I've just got courgettes and sweetcorn and then lots of others to plant out at the weekend!

Penguin27 · 03/04/2017 16:54

I'm not sure Jupiter, he just said "last cycle". Never had any kind of spotting before, except the tiny bit of brown spotting on CD26... I suppose I could have had a second-attempt at ovulation like otters may have done. Just feel very confused! Should I test again? Confused

Seven0fNine · 03/04/2017 16:42

oooh buzz we are so similar - got my seedlings upstairs on a sunny window. Keep having a little chat with them each morning. Looking forward to the scans girls!

oooh I'm glad you think it's my month confused because you were right about jupiter...I don't think it is though - I'm convinced I'm infertile!!
I'm not really sure when AF is due as I didn't do many opk's and only got a nearly positive one and twinges over a few days. It could be anytime this week but I recon Weds-Fri (ovia thinks weds)...

DH is a bit stressed about work atm and ended up sleeping in the spare bed last night because I was keeping him awake Sad but then text before saying he wanted a shag so don't think he's too cross with me haha! tbh i quite enjoyed having the bed to myself..haha

HeyJupiter · 03/04/2017 16:37

Penguin when GP said that you didn't ovulate was that this current cycle or last month? How confusing! Do you normally get pinkish spotting before AF? Could you potentially have ovulated later in the month like otters might have?

Penguin27 · 03/04/2017 16:17

I can totally understand why you've booked earlier scans, buzz and MrsC! That's so exciting, can't wait to see pictures!

Also your dinner sounds fab, buzz, I could do with an extra large pizza and wine

Not having a good day... and despite a pink tinge this morning, AF has kept her distance. What is going on?!

MrsC2017 · 03/04/2017 16:11

Yes natur seems to be that everywhere, well of the three I looked up anyway!

NaturWilde · 03/04/2017 16:01

Wow, Sunday is not long @MrsC2017!! And yes, €100 is the norm here, isn't it? My 7+3 scan is that.

buzzmoon · 03/04/2017 15:56

I'm the same jupiter apart from the sore boobs, I have no indication there's anything going on in there. I just need the reassurance!

HeyJupiter · 03/04/2017 15:55

No date for my scan yet. I assume I'll get it when I go to my midwife booking in appointment after Easter. I'll be 9+3 by then so hope it's not too much later.

MrsC2017 · 03/04/2017 15:55

Oooo buzz yummmm!!! Jane is going great, I'm on episode 6 now, loving it! Keep telling DS to call my mother abuela 😂

HeyJupiter · 03/04/2017 15:55

buzz enjoy your dinner! Sounds yummy... the scan sounds great. I might speak to my DH about it. I think I'd feel more reassured if I had some morning sickness (I know how daft that sounds) but generally feel quite normal now this cold virus has passed. We shall see.

MrsC2017 · 03/04/2017 15:53

Yeah jupiter, excited nervous all rolled into one, I hummed and hawed over booking it but getting too inpatient now to wait til 12 weeks so decided to do it!

buzzmoon · 03/04/2017 15:53

jupiter have you got a date for your scan?
