We are a bunch of ladies who are either

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

And everything in between!

We've had 8 BFPs since January (and counting!) and we love a bit of lucky lube and a squinter on 9DPO - come and join the madness!

Welcome Cookie if there is anything you don't understand just ask and we will help you =)... Congrats on the wedding and obv really sorry about the blighted Ovum Flowers

tigger It is always best to get yourself checked out hun the EPU is there for that reason! I hope everything is ok for you

Seven0fNine · 07/04/2017 08:33

Updated list. Sorry if I've offended anyone but got rid of the people who haven't posted for a few threads (I'll put you back on if you're still there!)

I also wanted to give a little love heart to para and dancing so we remember

Thanks confused for suggesting that, the updated stats did really help :D xx

Yay it's Friday xxx

Seven0fNine · 07/04/2017 08:30

Seven0fNine · 07/04/2017 08:20

hahaa Hb owhhh!! I want one!!!

Welcome cookie congratulations on getting married xx

cookiemonster89 · 07/04/2017 07:59

I have no idea what all the abbreviations are haha!

I am 27, getting married in a few weeks and will be trying soon after!

Quite nervous about it as we fell pregnant a couple of years ago and found out it was a blighted ovum at the scan :(

Can't wait to get started though!

Any tips? Is everyone taking vitamins? Xx

HbH · 07/04/2017 07:56

(Hopefully a good sign for later this week!)

HbH · 07/04/2017 07:55

OMG, i just remembered a dream i had last night seven.... i can hardly remember the details now but you were preggo or had just got your BFP!! You girls are starting to penetrate my subconsious!! 😂

Seven0fNine · 07/04/2017 07:52

Tigger I'm sure it will all be fine but best to get it checked out. Like the others said - it's what they're there for xxx

Was out all day yesterday running errands and babysitting my niece. Another busy day today sorting house, shopping, cooking as my friends are coming over tonight.

No AB yet... CD37 today. But potentially only 11dpo.. Gonna test again in the morning if no AB today. Will update the list now :)

Mummyme87 · 07/04/2017 07:48

Call your EPU trigger or have a look online for your local one. Some are walk in and some require a referral. I'm sure all is fine but I think to put your mind at rest it would be sensible to be seen

DancingUnicorn · 07/04/2017 07:44

My EPU is a walk in clinic Tigger. Do you know if yours is too? Could you just go and get in line?

HbH · 07/04/2017 07:40

I'm sure it's fine Tigger but TOTALLY not unreasonable to phone EPU, phone as soon as open because peace of mind is so important x

(Don't think they'll make you pay for scan either, if you need one they will do without question im sure)

MrsC2017 · 07/04/2017 07:40

tigger there is no point stressing yourself, if you are worried just ring, that's what they are there for, I'm sure all is well but no point being worried for the day xxx

DancingUnicorn · 07/04/2017 07:39

No tigger. Phone, ask them. Or phone your midwife. I'm sure it's probably nothing, especially if it's not fresh. But it's better to not be worried. ❤

HeyJupiter · 07/04/2017 07:38

Tigger, don’t panic, am sure it’s nothing but yes, call EPU - that’s what they’re there for. I’ve read that spotting is incredibly common so probably nothing at all, but also needs to be looked into. Keep us posted. Sending lots of love xx

Wiggley it’s really not that long now! How exciting. Excellent that you’re getting a clear picture of your cycles too.

Para I’m so glad you’re feeling a bit better this week and that your body is healing too Flowers

grumpy I hope the next few days go okay, am sure your family are so pleased you’re there to support them.

Hb did you have an amazing time??

Tigger83 · 07/04/2017 07:32

Ladies please can you give me some advice... I've had some spotting last night and today, it's mostly light, not bright red and mainly only see it when I wipe although there was a bit on my pants I've also got lower back ache. To be honest I'm freaking out. Do you think I'm being unreasonable to phone epu and request a scan (I don't mind paying for it!)

I've hardly slept worrying I know some spotting is fine but what if this isn't.

DancingUnicorn · 06/04/2017 22:49

I don't dare buy tests in para. Seeing a positive still would break me right now. It's annoying because I feel physically so much better than I have in ages, which is obviously really frustrating! Oh well, onwards we go.

Penguin27 · 06/04/2017 22:25

Glad your flight wasn't too bad grumpy. I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can Flowers

Welcome home Hb!

HbH · 06/04/2017 21:40

Will catch up properly tomorrow! 😴

HbH · 06/04/2017 21:38

Back home & very glad to be in my own bed!

Grumpy We flew with my 1yr old nephew and I was hardly scared at all, both legs! It went so quickly with him there to amuse us! Didn't miss my two drinks much
!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 06/04/2017 21:29

Landed safe and not too traumatised without meds thanks to my lovely DD. Thanks for all your kind words dancing and all of you, I'm so glad I'm here to support my family at this time.

Big hugs to you para xx

Wiggley so exciting about the hen do!

Buzz when is your hen again?

Parastars · 06/04/2017 21:19

Thank you penguins
May would be a lovely month for a BFP wouldn't it...fingers crossed!

Parastars · 06/04/2017 21:15

I'm ok thanks Dancing
I am actually so much better than last week. Still hard, obviously, but feeling ready to try again. I had struggled at the weekend as I was still testing positive on a pregnancy test (bloody hormones) but it's changed to negative now so at least we can start to look forward and hopefully my body has healed.
How are you doing? Been thinking of you.

penguinsandotters · 06/04/2017 21:13

parsnips sorry AF got you! Have an extra glass of Wine

grumpy hope flight is ok and your family don't notice your mini bump!

wiggley Great news about OPKs and being more regular. You'll be well and truly prepared for hump city. Is your hen do a surprise or do you know what you will be doing?

para sorry about your loss Flowers hope AF arrives soon so you can start a new cycle.

dancing how are things with you?

DancingUnicorn · 06/04/2017 21:02

Was just thinking about you Para! How are you?

Penguin27 · 06/04/2017 20:58

Ugh posted too soon!

... until you're ready to try properly!

Glad that things are getting more regular for you wiggley! Not long to go until it's time for humping
