Lefty has a follicle! Trigger tonight.

Not super excited because this guarantees nothing, but I am relieved!

@ValidUser totally understandable 😊 - let us know how you get on if you’re up to it x

It’s such a lovely day here (shame I’m working then gym later) but trying to stay really positive as bloods are where they need to be.

Is anyone testing soon? It’s hard to keep track on our awesome and busy thread :)

ValidUser · 28/06/2019 10:45

Thank you so much @Lozzlepop and @ELW85. X

I've been a little absent - very busy at work and a little blue with my naughty ovaries, but always lurk.

How is everyone?

@ValidUser best of luck for your scan today ❤️

Lozzlepop · 28/06/2019 08:37

@LokiCat awww I'm so glad you had a fab time, its nice to get away and take the pressure of TTC too. Sounds like a good weekend, hopefully there will be some good weather to enjoy! My dinner was lovely, sat and played with her little one and enjoyed a few gins in the garden 😉

@MrsH497 maybe it'll just take a few days for your body to adjust to them! Glad you are feeling better!

@ELW85 we have a fairly quiet weekend planned hopefully get out in the garden and head for a spot of lunch . Awww that sounds lovely 😍 good going with SMEP. Its a chilly day here again so had to get a coffee on the way in to warm myself up 😂

Hope everyone has a fab day

ELW85 · 28/06/2019 07:04

Morning ladies!
I hope everyone has got some awesome weekend plans?
One more day of work before DH and I get a day off together to revisit the waterfall he proposed at :)
We managed DTD last night so still on course for SMEP!

@ValidUser - good luck for your scan today; sending positive thoughts your way!

Have a great day, all 😃

thumper59 · 27/06/2019 22:39

@Lozzlepop keep holding off! Fingers crossed for you xx

@LokiCat I'm 21+3 now! It's flying... I've been great thanks and I hope you are okay too. Xx

ELW85 · 27/06/2019 22:12

@LokiCat - I bet it was absolutely amazing! Those sorts of trips are just emblazoned on your mind forever :)

No idea why we decided to wear ourselves out with the gym when the flashing smiley face demands DTD tonight 😂

Lottiepink · 27/06/2019 22:01

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather!

@MrsH497 totally misread your message and thought you were ironing... was thinking is she crazy, ironing is a mission anyways but in this weather?! No wonder your not feeling to good! Haha! Sorry to hear your not well tho, I've had iron tablets before and they didn't agree with me either at first :(

@LokiCat pleased you had an amazing holiday! Best way to see the 2ww fly by 😊

I'm cd15 today and ewcm is starting a little, it's a bit later than usual 🤔

MrsH497 · 27/06/2019 20:36

@Lozzlepop no made sure I didn't but I've only had a couple of days of the iron. Felt much better once I'd had a Diet Coke! Think I'm just over tired!
Anyone due to test?

LokiCat · 27/06/2019 20:30

@Lozzlepop It was absolutely brilliant, thanks! Glad we've come home to some amazing weather as well. Going to see my grandad over the weekend but otherwise it's going to be pretty quiet! Enjoy your catch up dinner tonight!

@ELW85 haha I definitely had 'in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight..' stuck in my head!
Hmm I'm not sure. I should be 11dpo, so there shouldn't be any fertile cm but who knows. Will just see if AF shows up on Monday!

@PippaPug I went on a safari holiday in Botswana! 😊
Where are you going away?

@thumper59 nice to hear from you! How far along are you now and how are you feeling?

@MrsH497 ah sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I hope you're better soon xx

Lozzlepop · 27/06/2019 16:18

@MrsH497 hmm possibly, did you take them on an empty stomach?

MrsH497 · 27/06/2019 15:18

@Lozzlepop don't know felt really off and hot/dizzy have started iron so don't know if it's that. Really weird xx

Lozzlepop · 27/06/2019 15:14

@thumper59 I am good thanks, I know it is so lovely out there I cant wait to get a chilled fizz in my hands later 7DPO today, feeling good so far and managing not to SS, fingers crossed it continues for another week lol

@MrsH497 oh no are you ok? Have you eaten something that's maybe disagreed with you?

MrsH497 · 27/06/2019 12:01

God having a rough day. Just bought bile up 🤢 boobs seem big finished period about 4 days ago what's going on?!

thumper59 · 27/06/2019 10:33

@Lozzlepop I'm great thanks are you? Just wishing the work day away today so I can go home and sit in the garden! Make the most of this rare yellow thing in the sky 😂😂

Lozzlepop · 27/06/2019 10:17

@PippaPug thats a good plan, i got my BFP last time at 11DPO on an IC but going to try and hold off this time 🤞🏻

@ELW85 should be a good weekend for gardening! We are just planning a quiet one, I am off to a friends for dinner and a catch up tonight then hopefully out for a spot of lunch and enjoy the sun over the weekend. Next weekend is DPs bday weekend so will be a full on family weekend so could do with a chill 😊

@thumper59 👋🏻hiiiii how are you doing??

thumper59 · 27/06/2019 09:58

Just being nosey... hope your all doing well ladies! I always have a read through and keep my fingers tightly crossed for you all 💕

ELW85 · 27/06/2019 09:34

@Lozzlepop - thank you! The support has been fantastic as ever :)
Sadly more gardening this weekend - I think I’m in purgatory 😂 how about you?

@LokiCat - that sounds unbelievable! We’re you basically in the new Lion King? I can hear Beyoncé now!
Well here’s to some baby dust to you, too! From what I’ve read, watery CM is almost like EWCM in terms of indicating you’re fertile, so maybe your temp going up has been to do with travelling?
Sorry I can’t be much more help!

PippaPug · 27/06/2019 08:18

@Lozzlepop - I’m going away and just think I will see what happens, as this is only my second month TTC I’m trying not early test but we shall see how long I can hold out!

@LokiCat - where did you go?!

Lozzlepop · 27/06/2019 06:32

Morning ladies

Sorry for the silence, I haven’t been getting any notifications 🤷🏽‍♀️

@PippaPug ooh hey cycle buddy! Are you going to be good and hold out to test?

@Tashdreams oh how lovely, what a nice surprise- top marks to your DP ☺️

@MrsH497 that’s good that the acupuncture is going well ☺️

@LokiCat welcome baaaack ☺️ OMG did you have the most amazing time? Sometimes you just need a break to reset everything don’t you ☺️ Your trip sounds amazing especially the treehouse, those memories will stay with you ❤️ Hopefully you have a few relaxing days now to ease yourself back into it!

@ELW85 glad that you got your results back and are feeling more positive, we are always here for advice, pep talk or if you just need a rant ☺️

@MrsEG sounds like you are having an amazing time and a welcome distraction before your appointment ☺️

Well ladies it looks like summer could finally be here, the sun is out already and it’s set to be a lovely couple of days ☀️🙏🏻 What’s everyone got planned over the weekend?

LokiCat · 27/06/2019 05:40

Morning all! I've kept annual leave till Monday, to try and rest up a bit after the holiday but been up since 5am 🤦🏻‍♀️
I'm 11dpo today, have quite a lot of watery cm (not sure if that's normal) and temp is above cover line. I haven't taken my bbt for about 6 days so not sure what happened in between!

@ELW85 thank you! Seeing the animals, especially ones that are quite rare was definitely exciting! We even caught two lions mating! I wished them some baby dust 😂
Also we stayed at 3 different lodges, which were all amazing! One was a tree house with a watering hole right outside that all the animals came to drink from. Memories I'll never forget 😊

I'm glad everything came back as normal for you! It must feel so reassuring to confirm that nothing is wrong - fingers crossed for you for this cycle!

@MrsEG thanks! 😊 glad you're having a lovely time away and the weather is behaving!
Your DH is so sweet helping you with the injections, I'm sure that must be hard! The days will fly by and Monday will be here before you know it! Enjoy the rest of your trip and definitely stick around! Would love to know how you're getting on xx

Hope you all have a lovely day! I need to run a lot of errands today, especially grocery shopping - there's nothing in the house!! Looking forward to the weekend - says it's going to be 30degrees! ☀️ ☀️

ELW85 · 26/06/2019 21:48

@MrsEG - it’s so lovely to hear from you, please stick around as we’re very attached to you!
And thank you, the bloods are all good, so another weight off my mind :)
I’m pleased you’re enjoying the lakes, it’ll be fantastic to have lots of downtime at the stage where you’ll be super sleepy!
Pleased to hear you’re getting on well with the injections - you’ll have to let us know how Monday goes? X

MrsEG · 26/06/2019 20:38

@ELW85 I love Whitby, had my hen do there last year! Have a great time. I hope the results are all fine - take it from me, I had three different issues thrown up with mine but every single one is treatable. So, I’m sure you’ll be a-ok :)

@ValidUser Just checking in to say you are as always in my thoughts and hope all goes well this week X

@FlapJackered Thank you lovely, still haven’t really gotten my head around it and DH is having to remind me ‘You can’t drink, you can’t eat those’! Yep - well, we DTD twice in the same 24 hour period. Consultant told DH he should be very pleased with himself haha. Just taking it easy until my appointment on Monday, still taking my meds every day and doing the self injections (which are starting to hurt!) and hoping they will work.
I’m so glad you have a consultant working with you now; wishing you all of the luck in the world!

@Kiza I actually think I had IB this cycle; one day had one small spot of light brown/beige, which I thought was odd. Nothing more than that though.

@LokiCat Glad the holiday was great :)

@MrsH497 Glad the accupuncture is going well!

Still in the Lakes, the weather has been incredible! I’ve been feeling really tired and quite breathless but otherwise fine, it’s been such a lovely break and is making the time fly before my appointment next week! DH is going wild swimming tomorrow... I’ll be watching with my toes dipped in as that’s about as adventurous as I get haha! Hope everyone has had a lovely week x also hope you don’t mind me still posting but I feel very attached!x

ELW85 · 26/06/2019 19:28

@Tashdreams - aww a surprise trip sounds fantastic! I hope the weather is awesome for you and you get to relax :)

@ValidUser - sending massively positive vibes your way for Friday! I don’t underestimate how totally crap it must be to have to work on other people’s health all day/night as well as your own, so I’m keeping everything crossed for you that you get the right outcome very soon ❤️

@XjustagirlX - every other day from flashing smiley then every day from static smiley! Or just as much as you can from now on basically!

@LokiCat - so good to have you back my dear! Are there any highlights of the trip or was it all just amazing?

@MrsH497 - ah great to hear it went well :) I’m seriously considering it; do they have a recommended number of sessions?

Well ladies, blood test results were back for me today and my prolactin is back to a normal range, and my FSH and LH were ‘normal’ At 5 each, which is good for 34 :) so I’m feeling way more positive about TTC!
Thanks for all of the wisdom and pep talks over the past few days, @Lozzlepop @orangeloo @FlapJackered!
