@MrsR16 Thanks for your kind words, my lovely. I'm doing really well considering. I sort of surprised myself as I had always assumed I'd get depressed and go off sex but after 9 days of bleeding we decided to get the ball rolling as it took 7 cycles the last time. DH and I have accepted it and it feels like it happened 2 months ago, not just 2 weeks. Life goes on xx

cupcakesandglitter · 20/12/2018 22:51

Hey @Charm23 sorry to hear that, glad you're both TTCing again though x

@MrsLBear @cupcakesandglitter Yeah I’m thinking driving is the way to go!

@Charm23 Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I had a MC in October, I was only 5 weeks and I still found it incredibly hard. My first cycle afterwards I was all over the place but I’ve been trying so hard this month to relax and keep positive and it has been wonderful! Great to hear you are feeling so positive. Being chilled when TTC is hard as you say, but I’ve found just keeping myself really busy (and chatting to the lovely ladies in this thread!) has helped enormously. FX for you this cycle and I really hope you are doing okay Flowers

@Charm23 oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that! Good for you for getting back on it though! 😊 hope you're doing ok xx

Charm23 · 20/12/2018 22:43

Hi there - can I join again?

A few of you may remember me.. I got my BFP at Halloween but unfortunately I'm back as we lost our Little Pea at 8 weeks. We're not hanging about, we're trying again!

Age: 28
Cycle: Back at 1, I suppose?
CD: No idea or maybe not applicable?

We plan to be really chilled with TTC this time around but easier said than done, eh? For now I'm feeling better, I've accepted what has happened and I'm looking onwards and upwards.

Best of luck to you all. I hope someone gets a Christmas BFP too!

MrsR16 · 20/12/2018 22:29

👋👋 hey lovelies!!

Age: 25
Cycle: 5
CD: 25
DPO: 11(ish)

Testing Christmas Day and hoping for the best Christmas present ever!!

Thanks for the new thread @MrsEG xx

cupcakesandglitter · 20/12/2018 22:25

Whoops I think @MrsLBear was way more sensible 😂😂😂 I'm a bad influence

cupcakesandglitter · 20/12/2018 22:24

@MrsEG I tried that with fertility mindfulness and yoga, hasn't worked for me 😩 lovely that she got pregnant on her honeymoon though 😊 oh also I'd drive just to save the awkwardness. That way if you'd like one you could have it but then don't have to drink too much x

MrsLBear · 20/12/2018 22:22

@MrsEG if you really don't wanna drink I would drive cos a) you then have an excuse and b) you won't be tempted to drink. Cos having a hangover is bad enough but having one when you didn't even wanna drink is the worstttttt!

@DayDreamer1707 Oh no!! Oh I hope he’s okay!

@MrsLBear I can have EWCM all week or sometimes not at all! Mine tends to change all the time. I don’t even acknowledge it much tbh as it’s so unreliable!!

@MrsLBear I can’t watch it, it’s such a wonderful show but I can’t handle those levels of emotion!

@cupcakesandglitter I do too! My sister used to tell me when she was TTC she would visualise herself with a baby and just wish it to be true, she would sit there and just tell herself ‘I will have my baby!’ - and she got pregnant on honeymoon!!

I have a bit of a conundrum (also, great word!) - it is my work Xmas do tomorrow night and a typically massively boozy affair. Whilst I don’t mind having one or two in the 2WW I really don’t wanna get totally smashed. Can’t decide whether to just drive to have an excuse to avoid it?!

@DayDreamer1707 I don't know where I am in my cycle so honestly I feel broken too 😂 oh bless him, hope he's feeling okay!!

Oh @MrsLBear isn't it heartbreaking 😩 honestly it's so shitty - i have these dreams that play out where I'm at my first scan with DH, watching the baby move, giving birth, bringing the baby home etc etc... I can just imagine it all as if my life is some type of movie 😩 x

MrsLBear · 20/12/2018 21:37

DH is at his work do and I'm watching one born. Why am I doing this to myself. An old episode where a couple go for a scan (missed the start) and they see that one of the babies doesn't have a heart beat (twins) 😢😢😢😢😢

DayDreamer1707 · 20/12/2018 21:28

@MrsLBear I don't know as I thought I ovulated on CD6 after my positive OPKs so not sure now.

Stats for me
TTC #1 after MMC
Age 28
Cycle #2
CD11 and having a confused guess at 5DPO

MrsLBear · 20/12/2018 21:25

@DayDreamer1707 oh no!! Hopefully it's not broken cos that's an absolute nightmare!!

Sorry girls I write such essays. I just read things I can't not comment on and work is too mental atm for me to check the thread in the day. Actually so sad I check it more than I go on WhatsApp atm!

MrsLBear · 20/12/2018 21:24

Thanks @MrsEG!!
Ooooo shiny new thread let's hope it gets blessed with tonnes of BFP over the next coming weeks!

@DayDreamer1707 is that o pains your having?

Also totally with you girls and feeling emotional. I nearly cried at work today cos things just weren't going my way. I thought omg get a grip woman!

@MrsMcNtobe I don't tend to have ewcm after O but I thought I did in previous months but now I've done cb OPKs I know that actually I probably o'd much later than I thought!
Whilst on this topic and it's gonna be a tmi one so soz girls but what's everyone's ahem knicker situation after O day? Does it go dry again or creamy etc? I don't know what's "normal" and what's not. Ok so calling anything normal when you're TTC is a complete disaster anyway but I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Oooo stats don't think I've done this on here!
Age: 27
TTC: #1
CD: 25
2/3dpo
Cycle 5 ish (2 of actually planning to DTD in fw)

I know @MrsEG next week and the week after too I think we are all almost 50/50 with xmas day and New Year's Eve!!!

DayDreamer1707 · 20/12/2018 21:24

@KatBeCool well I had a really light one for 3days on the 10-12th of this month. Before that it was 14th-17th Nov. I'm probably just still all over the place x

@MrsEG glad your feeling positive!! Last day of work was glorious when it hit 12 o'clock.

@cupcakesandglitter I've been like that this week but only on CD11 and 5DPO so think I'm broken hahaha.

Currently at the hospital with OH as he's decided to have a big injure to his ankle at footy tonight, praying it's not broken. Think he just wanted to be off work with me 😝.

@Bec18x FX for Saturday :)

@MrsH497 I agree! I have so few other people I can talk to about this stuff (saying that, my dog often gets an earful!)

@MrsMcNtobe I think when it comes to any kind of CM there is no such thing as normal!! Some months I have absolutely nothing. We have a tube of PreSeed to help things along on those months!!

Thanks for the recap @starkid! For me:

Age: 33
Cycle: 6 (early MC in October)
DPO: 9
