Hope I've tagged everyone xx

@Bl0ndi aww, at least you'll have your OH for company! When are you planning on getting married?

@Lollol86 AHAHAHA. I bet people are grateful for the drama, video meetings can get really long and boring. Fingers crossed you are having positive symptoms!

@MrsK21 I know, I'm sorry for acting so immature! Come to think of it, I remember my parents telling me that when they had me they were living in a really horrible old house that had a rat problem, and they built lots of their stability whilst I was growing up. I'm sure I can do it. Your grandma is so right. My DH is a top guy, and we get by and make each other laugh. We'll manage.

@Firevie hope you had a lovely day with your family. Sounds like you've found a real happy ending with your DH Smile I never really expected anything in my 20s because of how hard I found things when I was a kid, so now things are starting to lookk up I'm just being greedy. I think this year is starting to show me how things can not go "to plan" and still work out; had Covid not happened we'd have been way too busy to even think about TTC! Also if it makes you feel better about your hair situation, I shaved my legs the other day for the first time in over a year, feels weird!

Welcome @HappyVibes, sorry about your losses. Thank you for the actual happy vibes! I'm finding that reminding myself to smile is actually making me realise more when I'm happy, though by the sounds of it positivity is something you don't have a problem with Grin

@chloedancer 897 We are 11dpo buddies! How are you feeling today?

@VP91x imposter is the right word, I have no idea what I'm doing in my current situation but as long as I keep pretending hopefully no-one will notice...

@Pugprincess Hope your in-laws can keep it quiet this time! Do you work in a school?

It's alright guys, I got some sleep and did some yoga and lo and behold I am much less of a whiney bitch! Grin And my BBT is back up! Boobs still killing me though.

HappyVibes · 10/08/2020 08:43

@chloedancer897 ALSO - when I was expecting - I tested two days before with CB early and got a negative (still was within the ‘six days before window). Two days later, tested again with a CB early & there was our BFP.

My friend - she tested with FR early & got BFP! Was mega excited so tested again but with a CB early - BFN! She was sooooo bloomin pregnant. The CB early just didn’t pick it up so early for her, but the FR did.

So, morale of the story is - we have hope until AF comes girls as we need to remember they really aren’t anywhere near 100% accurate the early ones. Keep that hope, faith & end vision girlies 🌟

Pugprincess · 10/08/2020 08:36

@MichT4 sounds like a lovely day and probably a blessing you couldn’t get signal, good to have a break from tech lol. Just think you can take your dog next time 😁 dogs love beaches lol.

@chloedancer897 as @2020wish says frer also didn’t work for me although I was earlier but I was seeing something sometimes on cheap tests. You can implant up to day 12 and then it takes two or so days for the hcg to become detectable I read.

@Firevie sounds like you are having a great time 😁 how long are you away for?

@HappyVibes sounds like you are doing some great things 😊🤞🏻

Hope everyone is good and well today. I’ve rang my doctors for a phone app to discuss getting referred back to epau and I will ask about aspirin. Other than that I’m chilling around the house today taking it easy as with bbq and family around yesterday it was a bit hectic. We decided to tell them because at the end of the day if it all goes wrong we are going to need them and also they were devastated for us last time so it gives them a little pick me up too. We have made them promise to us to keep it to themselves this time so if that gets broken this time I know not to trust ever again. That’s it now though lol I promise. Apart from my headteacher of course. X

VP91x · 10/08/2020 08:31

Morning ladies, sorry didn't pop back on I continued to spend the rest of the day irritated so just sulked on my sofa.

Good news though, our dog should be here by Sunday! 🐶🥰

@Bellabubble sorry that AF is arriving already, the spotting is so disheartening you lose hope even a few days before actual AF. I hope the baby shower wasn't too upsetting for you. Also, as you're quite regular if it makes you less stressed definitely just dtd around your typical fertile week and then let temping confirm ovu. ❤️

@Firevie yes temps are still high and above cover line so that's all good. Fingers crossed all positive plus they might be lower because of the time difference anyway because you'll still be technically an hour behind if that makes any sense 😂. A wax and eyebrow treatment sounds dreamy, enjoy xx

@Tink20058 oh amazing, I got a gender scan with Bella at 16weeks, my sister and mum came too it was so much fun! I'm glad you'll be able to share the experience with your partner 🥰

@Pugprincess amazing you got a strong line well into the day. Definitely stop testing, unless you'll do the week indicators but not needed! Keep relaxed and start to enjoy 🥳

@Rainbowhope11 oh no! Did they say you ovulated based on temps? I'd be inclined to trust the temps instead of the CB digi I hate them so much 😂. Did you get a temp rise after your static? Yeah all okay here aside from not even a slight dark line on an OPK 😩

@Scrambledeggy hope you are feeling better today. Noone really has their life together. I still feel like a complete imposter most days 😩😂 we just all muddle through somehow!

@Bl0ndi3 I took almost three weeks off work and then when I did go back I went on reduced hours and duties because I just wasn't coping mentally. Everyone is different, if you feel like work will help serve as a welcome distraction then go back when you are ready xx

@Lemondropsandgumdrops I know I was so disappointed! We have merlin annual passes too luckily so we will go back in late September. If I had just paid for day tickets I would have been so annoyed!

@Jazper yeah it is my initial appt with gynae. I had day 3 bloods and now just trying to work out when to do my day 21 bloods. Nothing seems to be happening with opks so will probably just do them on CD21.

@Northernsoul90 why dont you consider getting a private pelvic scan done to check your ovaries/lining/uterine health in general. I paid £139 for mine, and then that would probably tell you if you had any scar tissue or any internal issues. Your GP would then look into anything if needed. I got mine the same day I enquired but obviously everywhere is different xx

@SmileyT secret squirrel 😂😂😂 I love that. Omg, how did you keep him a secret for that long😱! Yeah was all good once we got home, even Bella gave up at Chessington after an hour. Got in her pram and stayed there 😂. She enjoyed her afternoon splashing in her paddling pool. Hope you are feeling okay and keeping cool in this heat xx

@Lollol86 haha made me laugh about your daughters potty training. We have potty trained Bella now too, and I'm so done with the poo side of it now 💩😂

@MrsK21 crazy isn't it! I really want to go to thorpe park too. Will try and sneak a quick day trip witb OH one day in sept/oct when everyone is back at school/work.

@Happyvibes welcome ❤️ sorry about all your losses. I hope you find lots of support here. Good luck for this cycle x

@chloedancer897 try and test again on Wednesday when you're 13dpo. Although I'm sure you're already losing hope for this cycle. Sending you so much love. Trying for so long must be beyond heartbreaking xx

@MichT4 glad you had an amazing time at the beach! Couldn't have asked for better weather too. No, didn't see your chart! Post one when you get a chance, I love a nosey haha. Xx

Northernsoul90 · 10/08/2020 08:29

@MrsK21 Thank you xx

@HappyVibes Welcome to the thread, I'm really sorry for your losses ❤️. I hope that this is your month! Xx

@Firevie It was lovely thank you! Yeah I need to just accept that af has been regardless of how light it was! Yes hopefully 🤞🏼 cd5 today and I've remembered to temp the past 2 days 🤣. I hope your are having fun in Vienna Xx

@chloedancer897 Sorry for your bfn. As the others have said though it is still early, you never know 🤞🏼🤞🏼

HappyVibes · 10/08/2020 08:26

@chloedancer897 bless you lovely. Definitely allow yourself some time to go through the motions of everything. With me being new to the thread, apologies for asking as I’m sure you’ve already mentioned previously. Have you had support from your GP re advice on what supplements to take etc?

At the moment I’m trying Inositol, Macca powder, grapefruit juice, greens powder, Methylfolate & D3. Also healthy eating, limiting to just x1 coffee per day & exercising (now the gyms are open again YAY).

I’m also doing a lot of reading to keep my vibes high & positive - a big believer in the Law of Attraction. Whatever you think & feel, you attract, so lots of mindset work over here.

Ladies - the sun is shining, it’s a brand new day & a brand new week. This week is going to be a good for us all. 💫

2020wish · 10/08/2020 08:11

@chloedancer897 u are still very early! And frer was negative for me also even tho I’m very clearly pregnant with a heart beat. Get urself a clear blue early response x

Firevie · 10/08/2020 08:02

@MichT4 lol honestly eyebrows and my whole body which has just transformed into a fur ball! Cannot wait to get legs etc also waxed and start wearing dresses and skirts haha
Have a good day ladies xxx

MichT4 · 10/08/2020 07:59

@Firevie also jealous of the brows. I couldn't believe what I saw this morning when I was getting ready 🐛

@Lollol86 noooo not a UTI! A burrowing bean perhaps! 🤞🏼

Firevie · 10/08/2020 07:54

@Lollol86 ah okay sorry I missed that! Not long to go for us until we can test yay xxx

Lollol86 · 10/08/2020 07:51

@Firevie so jealous you are getting your eyebrows waxed. So yesterday I had some pain in my left side, it felt quick strange, not sure I've felt it before xx

Firevie · 10/08/2020 07:43

@MichT4 aw thank you! Glad you had a lovely day. It is lovely being home! Today I’m off to get a wax including eyebrows! Cannot wait!!!! Thanks for reassuring me on my chart. You’re right - it’s all good and I trust my baby is on my way to me!
@Lollol86 I missed that - what’s come on stronger? Xxx

Lollol86 · 10/08/2020 07:37

@MichT4 it's really strange how it just came on but got stronger, it's still there a little bit. I've probably just got a UTI knowing my luck 😂
I hope you had a lovely day by the beach xx

MichT4 · 10/08/2020 07:26

@Firevie it was lovely. Such a beautiful day. And I got to dig holes and splash about with my nephews 🥰. How is it being in Vienna?
Yeah I'd say your chart is still good, way above cover. And there have been success stories here with temp dips, so only positive thoughts for this month xx

Firevie · 10/08/2020 06:40

@MichT4 aww how was the beach yesterday? Hope you had a lovely day! Thanks and you’re right no point stressing over temps. I have to wait until Friday only and then I will know. Pic of chart attached xx

TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 9)
MichT4 · 10/08/2020 06:12

Morning ladies

I kind of lost a day yesterday - signal was so bad by the beach and then I had a bit of a phone free evening at my Mums, will try and catch up today if I can.

I did try and send my chart yesterday but it kept saying it failed, so either I didn't send it @VP91x or you saw it several times. I won't send again in case it's the latter 😂, temp stayed the same last night so nothing as exciting as the little tiny rise.

How are you today?

@Firevie are you having an amazing time at home? Don't worry about temps too much, especially if above cover. They do their thing for a load of reasons. Mine was coming down each day and then went up a bit again 2 nights ago. No idea. What does your chart look like?

@chloedancer897 sorry it was a bfn, there is still time though. I know it's hard seeing it but just wait a few more days and try again. 11dpo can be really early if you implanted later. I know nothing will make you feel more hopeful, but try and keep positive, because I'm sure it'll happen for you again.

@Lollol86 saw your message about twinges etc - fingers crossed for you that it's something.

Better get ready to leave for work. Have lovely Monday's all. Hope everyone is ok? xx

Firevie · 10/08/2020 06:07

I can imagine! I’m sorry @chloedancer897 / give yourself time to feel low. Really hope you get your BFP soon! Sending baby dust your way! Xxx

chloedancer897 · 10/08/2020 06:03

@Firevie 3 years in it's hard to maintain the hopefulness 😞

Firevie · 10/08/2020 06:00

@chloedancer897 you’re not out until af arrives! But even if it does then it still means your healthy baby is on its way to you but it will arrive when it is ready! Xxx

chloedancer897 · 10/08/2020 05:56

@Firevie not due until Thursday but I woke up today and decided to test. Used FRER so figure they're accurate enough for me to know it's a no go this month 😭

Firevie · 10/08/2020 05:54

@chloedancer897 nooooo! Has af arrived yet? I didn’t realise you were going to test! Xxx

chloedancer897 · 10/08/2020 05:53

11DPO and BFN for me today 😞 think that's me out again

Firevie · 10/08/2020 05:51

Morning ladies! I was with my uncle aunt and cousins yesterday so missed loads on here.

@VP91x sorry to hear chessington was a downer ! Can’t believe it was packed!

@scrambledeggy oh no sorry you’re feeling that way and you’ll always have phases where you feel like you should have achieved more but believe me timing doesn’t matter at all. I always planned to have a career at 24, married at 27, house and baby at 30. Other than my career nothing went to plan and even my career has been filled with rejections and hardship. Met my DH at 33, bought a flat at 35, got married at 35, and now trying for a baby. I will be 37 in October. And whilst this wasn’t according to plan I wouldn’t have it any other way! I thoroughly loved my 20s and early 30s and yay it would have been nice to have met DH a bit earlier but who cares! We have the rest of our lives together! So try not to get bogged down by age or timing. As they say age really is just a number!

@HappyVibes sorry you’re finding yourself here lovely but this is such an amazing group of ladies - so strong and inspirational. I’m sure next time you will get your sticky bean!

@Pugprincess loving the line progression ! So so pleased for you!

@Northernsoul90 how was your anniversary dinner? I think you’ve had af now boo! But hopefully this means your body is getting back on track?

As for me 9dpo now....my temperature dropped slightly again but still above the cover line ugh maybe it is because of the time difference as well?! Remind me did we have any success stories on here even if there was a dip? I’m trying not to get worked up about it and just be v casual about taking a pg test on Friday but you guys know there’s always this little hope at the back of your mind! Xxx

HappyVibes · 10/08/2020 00:08

@MrsK21 thank you hun, how lovely of you.

We are feeling super hopeful too. We are TTC baby number 1.

Yeah, I rang after the recent chemical & they’ve referred me to Gynaecology which is reassuring for us. Need to get booked in for CD22/23 for bloods.

I’m sure that all our stories will be inspirational & hopeful for others very soon 💓

MrsK21 · 09/08/2020 23:54

Welcome @HappyVibes you will find lots of support here! Sorry to hear of your losses 💔 hope this is the month you catch your sticky bean! Are you TTC #1 or have children already? I hope your GP offer support for your next pg as you've had 3 losses? Xxx
