I'll virtually chin chin 🥂 my glass of POMM juice with you @Dipsy77 . Bargains excite me almost as much as CB static smilies do 😂

VP91x · 12/06/2020 18:56

@Jazper @Eli2020 ahh I'm such a bargain hunter too normally. I never buy branded stuff from the supermarket. Always the tesco version! But oh well 😂

Definitely shares are something to think about. 😂😂 Fingers crossed for all of us it works this month 🤞

Xx

Evening all and welcome newcomers, sorry you find yourselves dealing with a loss but glad you've found us all who have been through something similar.
Been having a rough day today, yesterday I'd managed to get my head straight and stop symptom spotting and then today with the on/ off orange coloured CM has driven me mad. My logical brain is saying my body is recovering from MC and is probably just gearing up for a proper AF on Tuesday. The irrational, wanting to be pregnant side of brain is saying implantation. I'm 10dpo so it's about the right time and I'm not having any AF symptoms so it's a possibility I guess. It's just the uncertainty that's making me so irritable! I can't even test because if it is an implantation then probably no point testing for another 2-3 days in any case!
Ah rant over, just needed of offload a bit because I'm also driving DH mad too.
Think I'm going to need to meditate or something later!

Dipsy77 · 12/06/2020 18:53

@Jazper I'm from Yorkshire too love a bargain x

Jazper · 12/06/2020 18:45

@SmileyT totally hear you on the time going so slow thing. But equally, it's really reassuring to know that there isn't many of you 'originals' left. Gives me hope. I dread it taking months to conceive again but I figure that, by the law of averages, our chance of conceiving gets higher each month 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm not sure if that's scientifically true but I'm going with it 😂

Well done @VP91x 's OH on the safe retrieval of the magical liquid gold 🙏🏼
I can see POM juices sales sky rocketing over night. Might have to seriously think about those shares 😂😂

And good spot @Eli2020, I'm typically Yorkshire and love a bargain. I'd have probably travelled an extra 8 mile round journey today for that 70p saving 😂

Eli2020 · 12/06/2020 18:45

@VP91x girl, you are an inspiration 😃 hope it does all the magic it's supposed to do x

Bellabubble · 12/06/2020 18:32

@VP91x haha - That is so true!! There were days I’d come home and just be like “I need to not be touched for a while” to my oh 😂 luckily they are going to fix things for us - but it takes a while as they have to get their builder in (who is sorting iut other houses that have snags too) and also contractors they have used like the window installers, electricians etc - I fear it could be a while lol! xx

@MichT4 it strangely gives me comfort to know that it’s something that seems to happen quite regularly!! Do you still keep finding stuff over time? I guess where they have so many people in for the builds it’s harder to get good quality. There could very well be some people that might do the bare minimum because it would be harder to catch them in a big team! xx

VP91x · 12/06/2020 18:28

@Jazper @MichT4 @Eli2020 mission complete 😂😂

@VP91x @MichT4 got it 😃 thanks a lot-good news is that pomegranate juice seems to be on offer for £3 in Sainsbury's at the moment. Every little helps 😂

Bellabubble · 12/06/2020 18:12

@SmileyT I fee you!! I think I joined the april thread after lurking around in the March one! I’m a bit worried as I’m late 30’s, that my eggs are maybe not so good quality - but I also read that it takes 90days for an egg to mature - so I’m thinking my March, April and May eggs were the ones forming in my body whilst I was pg/mc! That would mean this month heading forwards my eggs have the chance to be lerhaps better quality 🤞🏻

HE88 · 12/06/2020 17:56

@SmileyT I'm with you that the whole ttc feels like an eternity I joined in April and feel like I've been here for years ha ha xx

VP91x · 12/06/2020 17:55

@Renna oh no that's so frustrating, I hope all gets sorted and you can see him. Yeah, sounds busy but good to keep your mind off things.

Absolutely, go for it with the wine. Definitely good to keep things balanced and still relax/enjoy yourself. Haha, Ill pop it in the baby book.

@Eli2020 so GF juice from start of cycle to increase CM (seems to work) and POM juice I think you can drink from any point in the cycle. Its meant to help thicken your lining 😅 xx

@Jazper thank you hun, sent my partner off to the shops so I have pointed him in the right direction haha, x

@Jazper I'm talking like I've been on these threads for years, I had surgery for my MMC in March and joined that day so it's only been 3 months but when ttc every week can feel like an eternity 😂

chloedancer897 · 12/06/2020 17:49

Hi to all the new members and sorry that you've found yourself here but it's a safe space to vent, talk, ask questions, whatever you need.

I keep clicking on the thread early every morning hoping people are getting their BFPs. We will all get there ❤️

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 17:47

@Eli2020 and I think grapefruit during first half as it helps with CM, Pom post ovu as it helps thicken you’re lining. Apparently.

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 17:44

@Eli2020 probably the same again 😂

@Jazper makes sense with the concentration. I might have to vary between the two, it’s still more pomegranate than I’ve ever drunk in my entire life!
You know I’ll say that and have a crate of Pom delivered tomorrow 🤣

Jazper · 12/06/2020 17:42

@VP91x In the fridges with all the other fresh juices and smoothies. Opposite the milk in my Tesco so shouldn't be far from there.

@SmileyT good luck with the juice! Diverting the subject a little, when did you and @Renna join? It must be nice to still have someone in the group from the start.

Eli2020 · 12/06/2020 17:38

Ladies, I have a lot of juice questions 😂 so when do you drink grapefruit juice and when do you drink pomegranate juice?
@MichT4 your comment about remortgaging really made me chuckle ☺️ they say it cost around £150k (or something like that) to raise a child but do they count the cost incurred to create that child 😃

SmileyT · 12/06/2020 17:23

@VP91x yes all good over here just in that weird stage waiting for my period to come, my LP has been 13 days the last two month so thinking it will stay the same and I'm 13dpo today which means I get to start a new cycle tomorrow 🙌🏾 how are you getting on with CB? Xx

@Jazper ive got that juice in my fridge hoping it does the job next month 🤞

@Renna yeah I was thinking about how you were getting on, seems like there isn't so many of us from back when I joined, but that is a good thing I guess and it will be our turn soon xx

Renna · 12/06/2020 17:16

@VP91x blimey you're organised with your opk diary there lol .. you should keep that and one day show your rainbow baby the efforts you went to to have them haha xx

Renna · 12/06/2020 17:15

@VP91x thanks hun yeah all okay .. DH having agg getting his son , ex wife telling lies etc.. long story haha but hopefully get to see my step son soon and it gets sorted xx work is super busy ... dealing with the pup hah so just been go go go. Maybe a good thing I guess keeping my mind occupied but then I really dont want to have high stress levels ! I'm in TWW but I may actually have a glass of wine tonight to relax ... moderation and all. Xx hope you're okay too babe x

VP91x · 12/06/2020 17:13

@Jazper what aisle was it in? Haha yeah definitely won't be doing a day of POM juice. Will stick to a glass. Yeah, need to lay off the GF juice. Haha xx

@MichT4 bestseller 😂

Jazper · 12/06/2020 17:10

Tesco yup @VP91x, although I think most supermarkets have it. Full day on the Grapefruit juice 🤢 it's a good job you don't mind it 😆
I can't afford a full day on this liquid gold, a glass a day will have to suffice!

Thanks @MichT4, I've just had a look at the Morrison's one and it's 23% Pomegranate juice from concentrate. The ridiculously overpriced one is 100% Pomegranate which is probably why it has the magic seal of approval 😖

HopeForRainbowbaby · 12/06/2020 17:09

@Northernsoul90 @Eli2020 welcome to group ladies ! Im sorry that you have found yourself here! But ladies on forum give best support to each other ! We have tried straight after MCs once bleeding stopped per advise of midwife. My cycles were weird after first Mc ( which was in 9 weeks naturally). First cycle post first Mc was around week longer and I'm sure I didn't ovulate because my pregnancy tests were positive till few days before first period, second cycle 20 days ( also I was doubtful when and if I have ovulated) and in the next cycle got pregnant to lose it at 5 weeks naturally ( in May). So I'm now first post cycle after 5 weeks MC and have ovulated based on CB and OVs which brings my cycle +2days vs average cycles before MCs. I'm 2 dpo now only and I have been already noting some symptoms ( in my head at least ...😂): ecwm and headache today but could have just normal post ovulation thing. But still hahah

Ladies anyone has dreams about babies ? Haha I am thinking so much about it that even in my dreams they show 😂

@Nellle I have also seen other forums where ladies are just nasty to each other... I couldnt understand it and then I found this chat with lovely supportive ladies here

@Jazper 😂 Enjoy the juice

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 17:09

@VP91x pots of wee from various points in the day dashed around, and a picture containing wee infused sticks. I can see it will be a great success 😂
