Hoops, Rings and May Bus 3 Things!

Congrats to the BFP today xxx

Ladies, I’m incredibly excited. My femometer just arrived, so I’m going to start temping from tomorrow.

How do you do girls do it? Do you set an alarm or just trust that you’ll wake up the same time each morning...?

Morning ladies. Just catching up on the chat! A huge congratulations to everyone who has received the BFP, so exciting!!

I’m a teacher so have been in and out of work which has been good as my mind has been busy. But I haven’t got any symptoms what so ever. Literally nothing!!

Still 4 days to go 😩

@MrsEmilyB I am doing well so far with the water, that's my biggest downfall. I have noticed increased CM from not being so dehydrated too which is good. Just downloaded Lifesum it's so much nicer looking than My Fitness Pal but I can't edit macro goals without subscribing 😞

@MrsEmilyB I've never heard of Lifesum but will have a look. I am just going to try my best and make a conscious effort to eat more healthily and drink lots of water I think that's my most realistic goal!

@MrsEmilyB ahh I hope the plan has worked for you too! 🤞

@GingerBaby89 & @Positivetime congratulations ladies! 🥳

@Minster2012 you’re right! I’m just scared after 2 mc’s this year, think I’d try anything to get preg quick and have a sticky 🤣🤣🤣 xxx

@MrsEmilyB thanks ! It’s been over a long period so doesn’t feel like the big achievement it actually is,lol but thanks xx

@MrsEmilyB thanks - I hope not, I’m only drinking about 200mls a day atm of soya unsweetened, hopf it’s not doing any harm :( xx

@SmileyT 7up free was my fave, I’m now addicted to lime cordial (Tesco’s own is my fave) in plain water. Asda do a lemon and lime no added sugar squash you could add into soda water? Stevia is meant to be the healthiest as it’s natural, the rest are man made xx

@MrsEmilyB
The only thing I did different was following the SMEP plan! It was so hard doing it three days in a row and very nearly gave up! I also think it may have had something to do with my husband not commuting into London for work during this time because that just tires him out!
Thank you all for your good wishes. I love how us Women are so kind to one another it’s really nice!

I really do wish you all the best and hope these coming weeks bring you all good luck cos everyone deserves good news.

@GingerBaby89 - I see lines on both those! Congrats!!

@Positivetime congrats!!!

Xxx

@hopefulmummie I don’t think there is anything that would help me in the tww, except a time speeder perhaps, can it be the 21st already?

@Fluffkins14 oh no 🤦‍♀️! I’m fed up now 🤣

@MrsEmilyB I hope so! I didn’t realise you can test more with the clear blue once you have reached high so will test again later today

Thinking it might be worth anyone that has got a bfp to list any symptoms they had lost ovulation?

Might help with all those starting the 2 week wait lol

@Positivetime @GingerBaby89 Huge Congratulations!! 🥳💕

I got my positive OPK today so here we go again with the TWW and cue the longest 2 weeks of the month 😂

Congratulations @Positivetime and @GingerBaby89 xx

@RobinRose and @Fluffkins14 I remember how frustrating it was to wait for the static! FC it will be here soon. I think I ovulated 2 or 3 days later than normal this cycle too so I think there is something in the air!

@Positivetime that's a nice strong line you have there!

@GingerBaby89 congratulations!! Another bfp to add to the list!!

I'm still waiting to see if AF turns up in the next day or two. No sign of her yet. Really trying not to think about it too much!

Congratulations to all the bfp

Femometer has updated my ovulation day to CD14 according to temp even though I got a peak lh test on CD15

What do you all think

I have been pregnant having had lots of sweeteners & drinking alcohol in the recommended amounts & with a healthy diet just lots of veg, not a huge amount of carbs or caffeine & good exercise 🤷‍♀️

@GingerBaby89 congratulations

I think there’s a lot of worry here about diet & too much analysing, I really wouldn’t worry too much about things, especially if you are early into TTC & generally eat a healthy balanced diet.

Sweeteners aren’t great no but I’ve had years of drinking black coffee with the cheap sweeter sweeteners & when there was big scares about them the other year being carcinogenic I asked my oncology teams about links & switched to stevia & they told me the validity of the research papers wasn’t great & even though i (at that point) drank around 6 cups a day it was nothing to worry about. Ones that contain aspartame are the ones to watch for.

Things like soy is in most things as a preservative so to avoid us very difficult & ppl of such varied diets get pregnant all the time I honestly wouldn’t worry. Just my opinion xxx
