Who else planning to start TTC this spring?

@zinrepus that's a shame but you both need to be 100% on board for such a huge life changing thing
I wish you luck when the time is right x

Met up with some pals over the weekend. One is nearing 40 and they're doing some fertility treatments. Brought up that was thinking of setting a deadline when I would want to get on the list to have it out, so I know at latest 3 months after we'd be moving... He countered that it would be nice for us to have one more Christmas without a baby or planning for one. So I'll be in the waiting pool for a while longer, but it probably means the security of knowing I can afford to wait until we're settled up North before trying to get it out... Ah well!

@zinrepus definitely make an appointment now! You could always cancel it if things change. That's strange that there's such a long waiting list when it's such a quick and straight forward procedure. Maybe it's because there's only one person qualified to do it in your area? Also, you might be able to get it done quickly at a family planning clinic rather than at your gp depending on where you live.

@zinrepus defo book an app now just say it's causing you problems so they will take it out sooner don't mention it's to start a family x

Congrats everyone who has graduated! @vio112 I feel you, our stressor is our GP let us know there's up to a 3 month wait to have a coil removed. And we're going to move hopefully in the autumn... So do I start the wheels moving asking for an appointment or do I wait until we're moved and registered with a new GP? I suspect I'll do the latter and hope the wait time is shorter when we move.

So the last time I said to OH "shall I make an appointment to remove IUD?" he just said "up to you"... 🙄 What does that mean?! Don't know whether it's "yes, but it's your body so do what's right for you" or "I really don't care". And when I try to push him to clarify he gets really shirty. Needless to say, I'm going to call his bluff and give the gp a call next week. He made a soppy face last night when "baby" was mentioned so I'm taking that as his decision. Sigh 😏

MEEEE!
I downloaded 5 apps and they were giving me different fertility windows but when I checked the signs of ovulation, it was matching with Smilelab days so I deleted all other apps and remained with smilelab.co/promotion because to me it's very accurate everything matches that's how I managed to get the pregnancy I lost in December but am trying again.

Oh congratulations @McHelenz . Of course you'll be anxious to start with, comes with the territory! All the best ☺️

I often think this the idea and want to be pregnant but then when is actually happens xx

I rang the doctors today and felt a bit emotional about it. I'm ok, not really got any symptoms. I'm now just a bag of nerves x

Congrats McHelenz! That's excellent news! How do you feel? I have one more cycle to go before I start trying. Feeling a bit nervous about everything. All feels very real now. X

@mussie forgot I didn't come back! I got this yesterday afternoon so I don't think I can deny it.

@McHelenz excellent! I look forward to you reporting back!!

I am now finally in the TWW for my last cycle before TTC. I ovulated a whole week late! That's never happened. Hoping it's not a sign that my cycles are about the start playing silly buggers. AF due in a week, and it's all systems go after that ✅

I've bought 2 FRERs and a digital for the next week! @mussie

@McHelenz with a positive like the one you posted, I think you're right that maybe you just didn't wait long enough! Maybe you could get a digital? Congratulations!

aw that’s brill then and pretty conclusive! very exciting!!

@yorkshiredolls yea another FRER. I've just come back to it and there is a line on it. I dunno if I just didn't wait long enough.

McHelenz congratulations, that’s a clear positive on that test and looks like an FRER? a bit strange it’s not positive this morning though, was it the same type of test or less sensitive?

Just had a negative test. Gutted 😔

Hi everyone!! Just stumbled on this chat and was looking for some help!
I might be loosing my mind but is that a faint positive or is it my eyes!

I had a blood test done on Friday and waiting for the results but thought I'd do a cheapo test today not expecting anything but then I saw this!!

Sorry for the picture quality but this is the best one I could get. And sorry for just popping up out of nowhere

Good luck everyone
Xx

My husband said I was silly and it's negative. We've come out for a friend's birthday so I'm trying to make my drinks last ages 😂. I hope I can do till Monday. I was convinced this was an indent.

@McHelenz That's a great positive for 10dpo!! I have to say, I'll be very impressed if you hold out until Monday! 😂 Congratulations!

@rli1105 10. I am going to test Monday as that's the day before and I took that test at like 7pm!!

@McHelenz Congratulations!!!! That is 100% a positive!! 🎉🎉🎉
How many DPO are you? So so exciting!!

Graduated too. I'll post this here because I have in the other group. I got this this afternoon, completely unexpected. Husband thinks it's negative. Going to test again Monday.
