Thanks ladies! Will def keep you updated 🥰

Mrssendy · 16/12/2019 23:06

Hi ladies

I've actually been reading the previous post and so glad you continue with a new one!

Congratulations to @stepmumma91!! Oh how exciting! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I hope it's ok if I join you all. A little story about me. DH and I have been trying for #2 since March - so about 9 months (7 cycle). I had early miscarriage couple years ago and then we got very lucky and conceive our DS - he was a lovely surprise actually as we used contraceptions then and we are both thankful as we were extremely extremely greatful. Somehow after the birth I kind of knew second time around will not be as easy. And after few months of BFN after BFNs I got more and more anxious and stressed out. This TTC is sucks and drives me mad! Jeez!

And I thought I was the only one who is crazy about OPK and symptoms spotting like madness. So I'm really glad to find these thread and reading all your chat somehow makes me relax a bit.

Yesterday I just got my very first STATIC SMILE CB OPK!! And we're trying the SMEP Method this cycle. Let's see how it will go! FX!

Sending you lots massive of baby dust and hope we'll get our brilliant BFPs soon! Xxx

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 22:53

@Unicornsparklez you do right not getting your hopes is, our bodies are evil, tricking us!!!
But it does sound similar to implantation, please keep us updated.

@Littlepea90 if you're crazy you'll fit right in 😂 nothing is TMI.

Night ladies!

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 22:35

Good night girls 🥰

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 22:27

@stepmumma91 Awwwww!!! 😍😍😍

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 22:23

@mellymoo86 We paid for 3 tries and have now used up 2. Feel really down about it, I know others try for much longer but this is very costly and we are not getting any younger (near 40). Also feeling unhappy about the clinic, might have to change if third time still unlucky. We weren't overly thrilled with them at the time of DC1 either but because it all worked on first try we were willing to overlook the shortcomings.

Littlepea90 · 16/12/2019 22:21

Hi guys

Finally a group where I’m not the only militant ovulation tracking, I think I’m going crazy one.

Currently cycle two, waiting for AF to take her leave so I can try again. Nice to be able to talk to people without being judged or having to hear if you don’t try it’ll happen Hmm

@stepmumma91 also congratulations! Flowers

Unicornsparklez · 16/12/2019 22:20

@FutureMrsSmith all the posts I read online when trying to figure out why I was bleeding day 24 suggested implantation but don’t want to get my hopes up. I’m not sure of my exact ovulation date. Plan to start testing for this but approx 6 days PO according to the app. Came off the pill 6 months ago and only just settling into a regular cycle but this is the first time ive had any bleed this early before AF. It’s just a pink/brown tinge to wipe not like a period would be and no period pain symptoms. Still new to it all and learning ConfusedConfused

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 22:19

@CiaraJ01 Haha, the drinking your way through duty free made me laugh. Fingers crossed you will be prohibited! :-)

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 22:05

@CiaraJ01 Oh Ciara! How are you coping with this ttc stuff! You're using the right hole right? Lol joking. Well the egg white cm helps sperm swim to your egg doesn't it. Clearly my cm is shite lol.

@Mangaroo Aww no sorry to hear that. Hopefully 2020 will be a better year for all of us. How many goes do you get?

@Blondeandbroody I know what you mean I was craving a bath today but didn't want to risk it. Will be the first thing I do if it's a BFN. With a gin and tonic of course lol

@stepmumma91 Awww that's a lovely scan. And I can imagine it feels to go to be true. So nice to see good news. Please do let us know how the other scans go, would love to see. ❤️

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 21:51

@Unicornsparklez how many DPO are you? Could be implantation bleeding?!

@stepmumma91 amazing, we are definitely due some BFPs on this group.

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:43

@stepmumma91 what a beautiful scan picture 😍😍

Unicornsparklez · 16/12/2019 21:43

👋🏼 There.. can I join?

TTC #1... cycle 6 now. CD 25.. pink/brown spotting yesterday & today (this hasn’t happened before).. AF due 24.12 according to my app.

Nice to e-meet you..

Dust to all ✨✨

stepmumma91 · 16/12/2019 21:40

@mellymoo86 thanks for the tag!

Hello lovely ladies,

I'm still here and keep popping back to get the updates! I am keeping fingers crossed anf eagerly waiting some Christmas BFPs for you!!

Thought I'd share our first Mumsnet bambino with you all. Turns out the level of psycho doesn't change after conception. I have another early scan booked for Saturday just to double check everything's ok and real lol. 8 and a half weeks now and still can't believe it.

Haven't moved on to pregnancy threads, feels like I'll jinx it and tbh, you're all much more interesting 😂 So I shall wait for you here x

2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )
nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:29

@CiaraJ01 got mild AF like pains but I think that's normal if early? I don't know I'm in limbo😂

Cervix is still high and closed which is good

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 21:22

@Mangaroo welcome back! What's been happening your end? At least you can enjoy Xmas 💕

@sojo44 welcome! I'm Irish so head back to Ireland on Thursday without my OH so testing Weds 🤞 I'm on cycle 3 for my first

@Blondeandbroody my test in Weds will determine of I'm drinking my way through Duty free on thursday 😂

@nt1992 it's a good sign if AF hasnt arrived yet! 🤞

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:10

@Blondeandbroody there's definitely something there but it doesn't seem to be getting stronger AF is only due yday or today so it's either still really early or something is wrong🤷🏽‍♀️ my FRER tomorrow should be darker than the last FRER I took so I guess I'll know then🤷🏽‍♀️

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 21:06

@nt1992 there's something there..... I see it?

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 21:05

Another Asda one tonight same result as last time

2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )
Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 20:45

@mellymoo86 I'm scared of heat at the minute ha! I am dying to have a nice hot bath which I'll be doing if AF comes lol!

Finish work for Christmas on Wednesday too so hopefully I get my BFP and have 2 and a half weeks off work to get my head around it. Or sulk because I've got BFN/AF and then the last week DTD lots! 😂

sojo44 · 16/12/2019 20:44

Hi lovely ladies 👋
Can I join?

Trying for my first, have PCOS, on cycle 3, but trying for 7-8 months.

CD2 today, here's hoping for that 2020 baby as well!

Dust to all! ✨

How are you all spending Christmas? I figured I'd let myself indulge in the food and wine front 😁

Mangaroo · 16/12/2019 20:38

@Skygirl1983@mellymoo86 Thank you for the new thread and the tag!
I love the new title, must admit the previous one was giving me pressure! 😅

We can't try again until the new year because clinic is closed for Christmas. Makes me feel really sad, still can't get over the last cycle. The two little follicles there, the thought of potential twins, I guess just got carried away. 😢

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 20:24

😂 @mellymoo86 emm what's it for?!

@meetmebythesea Welcome to the mad house 😂

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 20:14

@mellymoo86 hahahahaha come baaaaaack!

@FutureMrsSmith I have no clue about CM as I've read stories of people who were dry and got BFP and people who had CM like
Mine and got BFP so who the fluff knows!! Fingers crossed for us all approaching AF x
