Hello ladies! sorry it was back to work today so I was snowed under.
Sorry to hear @Skygirl1983 fingers crossed it all works out to be fine and is just a precaution.

@Ellsbells112 super jealous, I spent an xmas is Sydney and another in Thailand and although it's weird it's just soooooo good in the sun!

@mellymoo86 you're tree looks fab! I still havent put mine up, hopefully this weekend 🤞

mellymoo86 · 03/12/2019 11:23

@Ellsbells112 fingers crossed for you lovely 🤞🏽 when do you plan to test?

Ellsbells112 · 03/12/2019 11:07

@Skygirl1983 @mellymoo86 thanks girls! Yes it will be awesome I bet ❤️ I just really hope I'm pregnant for the trip 💕 that would be the best present

mellymoo86 · 03/12/2019 11:05

@Ellsbells112 my friend is in Aussie and it's 40 degrees!!! Ah man! I wish I was there. I spent one Christmas in Srilanka years ago and it was BRILLIANT! Nice and warm! Have a lovely time!

Omg @Skygirl1983 I'm SO dumb!!! I took the C word as conceiving. I need to seriously slap myself!! Don't worry everything will be ok 🤗 I know it's hard not to freak out but rest assured we have the best medical professionals in the world in the UK so your OH is in safe hands. It's good to get things checked as precaution.

CD12 in the TTC house, just waiting till I can start OPKs again. Still been reading the thread just haven’t had anything to bring to the party. @mellymoo86 sorry that it appears you had a CP but good that you’ve seen as a positive in that you conceived. @Skygirl1983 if there’s any “red flags” they refer straight away & it all happens really quickly so try not to worry, same happened with my mum earlier this year & it was nothing, at least they’re being thorough

Skygirl1983 · 03/12/2019 10:29

@mellymoo86 @Ellsbells112 thank you. Fingers crossed it is nothing serious and they find it's a simple fix.
Jealous of the Oz trip though. Will be something else having xmas in the sun!! Its freezing here now!! Love summer and the beach!

@mellymoo86 looks lovely :=) we haven't bothered with a tree, don't want to come back and feel depressed 😂 feels weird, I looove christmas but they'll be a tree in oz haha

@Skygirl1983 hey, sorry to hear about your OH, I really hope it's nothing serious for you guys

mellymoo86 · 03/12/2019 10:00

Yeah I can imagine you're worried @Skygirl1983 I hope he gets that referral pronto! 🤞🏽

Skygirl1983 · 03/12/2019 09:56

@mellymoo86 looks lovely. We are doing ours this weekend coming up. I have woken up loaded with a cold. Getting my eyebrows waxed and tinted and getting my hair cut so busy day. Worried sick about my hubby too. He seems fine about it all but I'm a worrier and wont feel ok about it until we know something.

mellymoo86 · 03/12/2019 09:29

Morning everyone, I hope everyone is ok and no one has frozen to death lol. Everyone's Christmas tree must be up now. I realised I didn't share my tree picture, here it is 😊

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 21:50

@Ellsbells112 That sounds awesome, you will have a blast!! 🎉

Yeah I always use opks. Once I start getting darker lines I start using the cb ones. I also go from nothing to solid smiley. This cycle I'm doing the cheap opks once a day from day 3 as I'm not sure when I will ovulate because of the mc. Fingers crossed for us all!!! 🤞🏽

Ellsbells112 · 02/12/2019 21:29

@mellymoo86 yes, my sis lives there so going to finally stay with her! Whoop whoop :)

Good glad to hear. Will you be doing opks? I used the clear blue digis this month, I went from blank faces to a straight solid smiley on Sunday morning lol feel like I ovulated during the night as all pains and ewcm from yesterday are gone.

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 21:20

@Ellsbells112 Aussie sounds lovely. Is it a holiday?

I'm alright thanks lovely. Counting down the days until I can try again. Got another 10 or so days to go. 🤞🏽

Ellsbells112 · 02/12/2019 21:09

Hey guys! How are you all doing? Sorry to hear about mcs people have had 😢

What dpo is everyone?? When's af due? I'm 1dpo so a long way to go. Australia is close now we fly next week so that'll break it up for me.

@mellymoo86 hey! I've been taking maca root to help Ttc :) hope you're holding up OK ❤️

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 20:04

@Skygirl1983 Maca powder is good for men and women. I'll copy and paste exactly why it's good for females below. I want to try and do what I can to help with implantation and maintaining a pregnancy so thought I'd give it a shot.

I'm feeling fine now. I've come to terms with it and after speaking to OH it's made me feel a lot better. He is happy that what we are doing is working and we are able to conceive as I know her was worried about his little swimmers. I'll probably need to reschedule my cycle day 21 blood test next week since due to the miscarriage I'll only be ovulating then. 😕

It is thought that Maca’s benefit to female fertility comes from its ability to restore hormonal balance. In particular, it is believed that Maca may help suppress estrogen dominance, and encourage a favorable estrogen/progesterone balance conducive to achieving pregnancy. Many women also report an increase in libido and sexual function when taking Maca.

@Skygirl1983 Sorry to hear about your husband's condition, hope he gets answers and the right treatment soon.

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:45

@mellymoo86 how are you feeling in yourself about what's happened? What's maca powder?

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:29

@Skygirl1983 That's great. If he can get it sorted this year then perfect. 😊 I'm due to ovulate in about the same amount of time. Let's see if my body resets itself. I'm trying maca powder this month.

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:27

Yeah I still have at least 10 days or so. The doc says he'll get a referral quick which is good.

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:22

Ahhh I get you @Skygirl1983. See how it goes, you still have another week or so until fertile week right? You never know. But I agree, don't push him...he might get all worked up then.

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:19

@mellymoo86 it's in a bit of a personal place if you get my drift. He says it's been uncomfortable for a bit but being a man takes an age to get seen. I couldn't put any extra pressure on him.

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:09

@FutureMrsSmith I'm good thank you. Just made banana and chocolate blondies. I think I cook to much 😂 need more people to feed. Hurry up baby!!! Lol How are you doing?

nt1992 · 02/12/2019 19:09

@FutureMrsSmith it's all a big waiting game isn't it! Hope you're well too xx

FutureMrsSmith · 02/12/2019 19:07

@Skygirl1983 sorry to hear you're both going through a worrying time, that is probably your priority right now 😊

@Louu99 lovely to see you back, you're absolutely not wrong to feel like that, this is your journey so take it however you feel it's best.

@mellymoo86 are you doing ok today?

@nt1992 I'm just going to assume I'm 1DPO as per my app. No ovulation symptoms so I'm not sure if I have or haven't. I guess time will tell.

Hope everyone else is ok!

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:03

@Skygirl1983 sorry to hear that and I hope it's nothing serious. So are you not able to keep trying whilst he see's a specialist?
