2DPO - Anyone with me....!

Think it's worth just keeping going with the temping. This new cycle (cycle two temping for me) is much smoother looking than the last one, so maybe I'm getting better at it! If it does end up going zigzaggy like the last one though, I think I'll try vaginal temping next cycle as that's supposed to be more accurate. Definitely share your chart whenever you like - I love looking at other people's
Is pre-seed just for if you don't have loads of EWCM? Is it basically EWCM in a tube?

@Pudding01 glad you're feeling chilled. Baileys is a totally welcome bonus of not being pregnant! If we'd got pregnant last cycle we'd have been in the throes of morning sickness right over Christmas, which would not have been fun. Silver linings!

@coffeewithmilk thinking of you and hoping for good news with your levels today xx

@unCliche thanks hun, I’m good.. I’ve actually had it done twice.. luckily he checked inside and said there is nothing wrong with me, he said I was actually ovulating at the time. That was two years ago but the pro was that although it was a horrid little procedure I got a little bonus female health check for free.. it could have all changed in 2 years (in your 30s) but all good.. how are you feel today, hopefully no more discomfort x

@EllyNC I’m the same. Last night I was tossing and turning and my temp was lower but I’ve decided I can’t get it perfect. It’s my first month of temping so it’s all a bit of an experiment. I might share with the group in the next week for you all to say ‘looks ok / or odd’ .. never heard of pre-seed I’m going to google it

Hiiii @Pudding01 I actually think there is something to be said for pre-seed, used it last time and got a bfp pretty quick, and again last month and had the chemical. Could be coincidence but who knows!!

I’m struggling with temping a bit- have a tendency to wake frequently in the night and often need a wee. Particularly at about 5am! So been temping then, but then have the odd day where I don’t wake till alarms at
6:30, or when I wake needing to pee at 4 so have to do it then as know I won’t have enough sleep AFTER to do it accurately. It’s so interesting to analyse but I just feel like my chart is all over the place because of that and probably not accurate anyway!!!! Pfft.

@coffeewithmilk I am crossing everything! Xx

@GreenApplesYo loving the little scan picture. So happy for you.

@EllyNC welcome back! ❤

So did we work out there are 5 of us trying this month? I've just had a nice big glass of baileys wrapping Xmas presents and feeling a bit more chilled this month. I say that, but I also bought some form of pre-seed with my thermometer lol So we will see how we get on. But massively looking forward to the fun time over this next week 💥😆

Sorry if I missed anyone, been a busy day on this thread today!

Really hoping this is a good month for us all x

@coffeewithmilk ah that’s frustrating hun but like you said more done tomorrow is good :) let us know!!

@unCliche have you done that before? I wouldn’t have a clue what I was doing haha!! Go easy on yourself, hope you’re less sore soon xx

@GreenApplesYo look at that beautiful little bubba!! :) glad you’re feeling a little better!

@Cc7750 🤞🏻 They extend the stamp duty scheme!! I find I spend a lot of time browsing houses even though we aren’t planning to move anytime soon- it’s addictive!!

Thanks everyone for checking in!
Unfortunately they didn't ring today. I tried ringing back and the lady said I was booked in to have more levels done tomorrow so I'm taking it as a good sign? Just got myself so worked up waiting for the phone call and then I either missed it or they didn't ring.
At least I'll find out tomorrow what the level is and have more done then
Hope everyone's had a good day xx

@EllyNC Sorry you've been feeling down too 🙁 TTC isn't so fun when AF shows up but I'm glad to hear you'll continue to TTC, it's nice to have you and all the other ladies here for mutual support 🥰

@GreenApplesYo Hello you! Look at that little bean!! So amazing!! How are you feeling?

@Cc7750 I think the gov will probs extend it so you may end up saving some money after all. Ouuuch! Sounds painful! Cervical erosions - scary! Hope you were alright??

I'm a little sore, but I'll still try to at least self-inseminate myself so I don't waste a cycle - my menstrual cup will be put to a new type of work 💦

@GreenApplesYo CUTE!! 🥰

@unCliche I’d love to get it done by stamp duty but it’s doubtful but no harm trying (if my house sells and I find one!) I’m hoping the gov will extend it but we’ll see!
And biopsy not nice hope it’s not too painful now, I got lazored for cervical erosion a few years back (apparently that’s what can happened for being on the pill too long), so I can relate to your fanny ouch!

@EllyNC
hope the AF finishes soon, hate a long one!

Hi everyone!

I'm OK @AKC88 thanks for asking. Not feeling as sick now I'm at 9wks. I had a scan yesterday and everything is looking fine, was magical seeing the heartbeat. My 12wk nhs scan will actually be a 13wk scan on 4th Jan, I was too impatient to wait.

Hope things work out OK for all of you waiting on test results etc. Having to wait is awful.

@unCliche hope you aren't too sore 🙁

@coffeewithmilk any updates? Hoping it’s all positive 🤞

@AKC88 I’ll happily have a baileys for you too!! Hope you feel less sick soon! Let us know how your scan goes!
@unCliche sorry about the biopsy, sounds sore ☹️☹️ I’ve been a bit miserable recently too, just want AF to finish. Also not feeling too hopeful for this month but feeling ok about that, Christmas as a distraction!!

Glad you're taking things in your stride @Cc7750 I wish I was a lot more level-headed when it comes to these things 😆 Are you going to try to complete before the stamp duty holiday? There's not much time left!

@HerringGull That's lovely - a nice calm AF is always welcome. I don't think I'd appreciate a heavy, crampy flow constantly reminding me that I'm not pregnant yet 😂

I'm ok now thanks. This morning I just felt so miserable. I had a cervical biopsy today (ouch!) so I can't DTD so I may have to turkey baster some spermies into me while I ovulate, which could be any day now! I don't think I'll be successful this month anyway but it's fine, I'll just focus on other things now.

@AKC88 I'll drink a Bailey's for you 😉

Hey girlies,

@HerringGull sorry AF got you, what a bitch!

EllyNC so sorry it's been a crappy one for you lovely. Onwards and upwards.

@unCliche you've definitely gone all in on the stressful situation at once lol.

I'm sorry to read there is a few of you in a horrible limbo, I have everything crossed for good news for you all.

Not much to report here...still sick...still tired and a sad lack of Bailey's in my Christmas life haha. 2 weeks today until scan day, although time is passing surprisingly quickly. How are you @GreenApplesYo ?

Oh sorry @EllyNC291 I left you out because you were having a month off, but glad you are back on the TTC train

@EllyNC I do remember you saying you were taking a break, welcome back to the game! Ok so then there we 5!

@Cc7750 I’m still waiting too! Fingers crossed for us all for this month 🤞🏻 (We’ve sacked off taking a ttc break lol). AF just coming to an end so getting to the fun bit! I’m feeling quite chilled this month!
Good luck @coffeewithmilk get yourself out and distracted 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Cc7750 yep, as unCliche said, I've got AF just now, CD4. It's actually been quite a good one, as it's finally returned to how it was before being pregnant. It was just a bit different since giving birth, so nice that it's back to my normal. I don't expect to O until maybe CD18 on average, so it's a while before I'll get to FW.
Hope you're okay @unCliche. It's hard enough just TTC without all the other stress too! Find time for a bath/yoga/wine/whatever does it for you :)

@unCliche just looked at my temp chart, I am CD17 so we are virtually same place. I have two charts as I bought a femometer which says I have to log a different app. So I am either 4or5 dpo. To be honest I’m trying to go with the flow, it doesn’t matter how much you want something it won’t change the outcome so I’m trying to not google too much this time.
Buying a house must be stressful, my other half just sold his so we are in the process of selling mine Jan, so this is my final month of peace before hitting the market, fun stressful times to come (especially with this stamp duty deadline date malarkey!)

Heeeey girls

Good luck @coffeewithmilk 💕

Currently CD14 and still waiting for a positive OPK. I've had really bad nights with no sleep and the anxiety of everything has been getting to me (TTC, buying a house, etc), so I won't be temping anymore to try and alleviate some stress. I'm actually wishing for AF so I can relax a bit and sleeeeeeep 😴

@Cc7750 Ooo the dreaded TWW! Do you have plans for how you're going to keep yourself going??

@HerringGull how's AF? Hopefully not too terrible?

@HerringGull how could I forget, so sorry! I miss about 5 messages and then get confused! So where are you and @unCliche? @Pudding01 is about to enter the fun week

Got my fingers crossed for you @coffeewithmilk Take it easy xx

@cc7750 me and unCliche are also still waiting, but yeah, I THINK it is just the four of us - everyone else has conceived which is amazing! Sorry if I've forgotten anyone else?

Easier to say. Not today!

@coffeewithmilk easier today than do but try to keep yourself distracted until then... or talk to us solidly, I can crack some bad jokes to try and keep you amused..
hopefully they call when they say they will too and it’s close to 12.
