STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

Soooooooz!!!! That might be the best news ever! So happy to hear this.

I'm waiting on a huge breakfast to fill the hole from too scared to eat this morning. 9 week scan now measuring dead on, good heartbeat, little legs starting to wave around. Trying so hard to relax now!

@Bubblegum89 I'm not holding out hope. I just don't like the thought of being over three yes ttc so I've started again. It's like getting my virginity back 😆

starwishing going on that assumption, I’m on cycle 3 (post sis/hycosy) and you are “apparently” more fertile in the 3 months after having one done. Still not preggo. Very much doubt that will change by this time next month. I wish I knew what was wrong, it drives me crazy every single day. At least if I knew what was wrong, I could find ways to help fix it but nope, had to be unexplained didn’t it 🙄

Oh my god Sooz! I’m so happy for you, congratulations! Told you you wouldn’t still be stuck here with me on thread 127 ;) fingers crossed for a sticky one

Congratulations guys! @Paranormalbouquet and @SoozC that's brilliant! I told you all whenever I join a thread on mn everyone gets pregnant! I'm like a lucky charm that never gets a bfp 😆 FP is due tomorrow according to my glow and ovia app. Not holding our hope though because I'm on cycle #0 (self declared) this month and not anticipating anything.

Before you ask why is next month cycle #1 it's because I had my laparoscopy this month and a little wash of the works down there. About four days later was my positive ovulation test so this month is probably a write off. Saying that we dtd three times during fertile week but I think the surgery will have killed it all off!

Sooz that’s amazing news! I’m so happy for you x I can understand why you’re worried, but we’ve all got everything crossed for you

Para if it was another 33 day cycle then was due on Friday. Which means it's not settling down as I'd hoped. Balls.

Woo hoo!!! Go Sooz!!!

2 BFPs in two days!!

Congratulations Sooz!

@WonkyDonk87 we’ve all been there. When is FP due?

@SoozC congratulations!!!! This is great news. Fingers crossed we both avoid another miscarriage.

FUCK, YAMMERS! I did a test to check and I'm pregnant!

I can't believe it. I'm a mix of ectasy and worry now that I'll mc again. Oh god.

Congratulations @para - I hope everything works out for you!

I had my first acupuncture session yesterday. I'm not sure I believe in all the Ying and Yang stuff but it was relaxing and the lady was lovely so I'll preserve. She said with my list of other/previous health conditions she's not surprised I've not been able to get pregnant as my body is apparently out of balance so she's going to do a few sessions to work on those before the fertility ones to give my body the best chance of coping with any pregnancies... We shall see. Day 17 here and ovusense still says no ovulation, but again I'm not surprised as been stressed with the move so expect it's either going to be late or absent all together this cycle.

Hope you're all well!

Oh FFS. Did a pg test yesterday afternoon. Negative. Went out for the evening and then stupidly bin-dove and have been obsessing over an evap line all night. What a twat. Someone give my head a wobble please.

Congratulations Para I really hope this works out for you.

Deffo get your immunity checked out Sooz, Para is right it can be really dangerous for adults even without the added complications if you're upduffed.

@SoozC if you aren’t sure if you’ve had it I wouldn’t go. Chickenpox in adults can be very nasty even not pregnant. You can get your immunity checked (I had it checked a few years ago and was vaccinated afterwards as wasn’t immune).

Question: meeting friends tomorrow. One family has two kids. Youngest just had chicken pox, now not infectious. Older brother hasn't had it yet so may well be incubating. I'm unsure as to whether or not I've had chicken pox. I am expecting fp tomorrow but really feeling (wishing) I was preggers. What do I do? I'd hate to have to rearrange as we haven't seen them since our wedding last summer. Should I test this morning just to check?

Thanks everyone. The condoms were stored in the bathroom cupboard which apparently can interfere with their integrity (says google). Who knows. I’ve not relied on them for contraception before ever- always doubled up or was on pill. Either way I just have to wait and see now. We started trying last May but have been pregnant 3 times since then with no take home baby so can’t say I’m excited yet.

What I can say is that Bubbles hypothesis about symptoms in TWW meaning nothing seems to be true. Usually in TWW I’m symptom spotting even if I can’t help myself but this month as wasn’t expecting it I felt totally normal. Only symptom was my usual sore nipples but they even got better towards the end. And thrush but suspect that’s antibiotic related!

The cramping is due to the effects of progesterone on muscles. I get awful leg cramps after ovulation for the same reason. Can also cause constipation/diarrhoea through effects on muscle in the bowels which can contribute to cramps.

Congratulations para I've got everything crossed for you.
I got my first ever positive opk today, two of them because I had to double check, almost didn't believe it but the ridiculous cramping in my right hand side leads me to think it was real.
On the plus side this will be the shortest cycle I've had if period turns up in 2 weeks

I’m the wrong person to ask I reckon Owlpatrol haha I cramp from ovulation til fp too. Not so much cramps actually as twinges. Always in my ovary area, both sides. Not painful but noticeable. I’m sure it’s probably nothing serious, I have had all hormone tests done and nothing has come back odd. How bad are the cramps? Are they just ones that come and then go ago after a few seconds? I suppose if they’re painful/constant then it might be an issue but other than that, I think they’re just another annoying thing we have to put up with

@Bubblegum89 stupid question but what's normal for cramping? I reckon you'll know! I tend to get cramps from ovulation almost till af....fine I get that's normal. But is it a concern i.e I've read it could be high progesterone levels? It gets worse as it get to af and I'm usually 29day cycles so it's a bit of a pain to have them for so long as well!

@Paranormalbouquet congrats and tentative hugs from me
@SoozC snap been in the garden from work today had one cheeky glass of wine

Af is impending next week got cramps as usual today I'm 10dpo. Did an ic this morning just to confirm I'm not pregnant and obviously it was a BFN.

Dh been lovely but he's still so positive about it all which sounds great but I'm more realistic about things

Wow @paranormal that’s one determined little swimmer! Fingers crossed for you x

Ah! That's lovely @SoozC

Congrats paranormal can you tell me where you got those condoms please?! Fingers crossed this is the one for you
