The Turkey Baster Gang (gobble gobble)

@Oilyoilyoilgob have you done 13 days in a row?! 😱😱😴

Can you override the app? 😊 You can with fertility friend 😂 I like to disagree with things designed to be smarter than me at working this stuff out!

I'm almost at the end of 13dpo and no spotting 🤩 some short cramps on and off still. Boobs seem to fluctuate! I'm taking it as a win that I'm about to get to 14dpo without any spotting and ovulated on CD14 this month even if I get AF on wednesday so something must have gone right with my hormones this time around.

Thanks @MrsKin90 this is what I’m choosing to believe in as well - especially since we had a really good sesh on Sat so hoping it counts towards it 😂😭 Hoping the app will readjust itself, it’s super annoying to think I’m way further along DPO whenever I look at it haha. How are you doing?? Are the boobs still sore? Any spotting?

@shelbyrae welcome ❤️ and goodluck for your tww 🙏

@primrosechill going by your BBT I'd say you ovulated the same day as your LH peak and would ignore the date that app has given you. Maybe it'll readjust in a clue of days? Looks like you've covered yourself with "DTD" either way though!

Hope everyone is okay today 😊

@shelbyrae welcome to the gang and so sorry to hear about your chemical... the more of us here, the more statistically likely that someone will get pregnant this cycle though, AM I RIGHT?! 🥰🥰

Sorry to barge in here with my btt graphs without saying hello or aknowledging any of your posts - so rude! 🤣 This has been doing my head in though. Big fingers crossed for all of you in tww or SI-ing right now!! xx

So I am utterly confused about my ovulation this cycle tbh. I didn’t record a peak until Sat but for some reason the app seems to be convinced I ovulated on Thu 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just don’t see how in the world that could be possible with a peak two days later - anyone experienced that??

@DinkBoo ha, apologies to your cat! Hope you're still doing OK, and that your scan goes well! X

@Birchybirch thanks for just making me snort out loud and wake the cat up with that last line

Hi @shelbyrae! Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy, very good luck for the future.

And of course to everyone tww'ing at the moment.

Ah thank you @oilyoilyoilgob. Ironically I'm actually in a work "meeting" at the mo - listening to an update about our offices, and where we will be working post covid...

Hmm the CB ones say 1st wee, and the cheapies say between 10am and 8pm, so I do those at about 1pm. The flashing smiley means estrogen is peaking, so LH should follow in the next day or two. Strangely the cheapie one showed no peak today, ha who knows what's going on in there!

In the words of Dory "just keep sperming..."

@Birchybirch haha thanks! Glad to have found this group, hopefully it'll make this tww go a little faster :)

Ooh I don't know why my post included the ♀️ symbol...!

Ah hi @shelbyrae 🙋‍♀️ this is a fun group to be in. I've only been here a couple of weeks, but everyone is so lovely and welcoming.

@oilyoilyoilgob did the CB one this morning as always and I've got the flashing smiley, yay. Will SI again for the next few days (poor husband will be a shell of a man 😂) and hopefully will get the solid "peak" smiley tomorrow or wed.

I'm aware of course that we could do everything right and it still not work, so I'm very cautiously optimistic...

I love crisp, bright mornings! Hope everyone has a great week! I'm on annual leave this week, so may get the Christmas Dec's down at some point... May as well! X

Hi all, new here :) re-starting this AI journey after a cp in September!

Fingers tightly crossed @MrsKin90!

@primrosechill I'm ok, thanks for asking . Still lurking here and enjoying everyone's gymnastic antics and updates but replying less as my brain is rarely working well enough for actual online conversation .

I think I've now forgotten what it feels like to not feel nauseous, bloated, gassy, and knackered all the time and every trip to the loo still gives me the fear just in case (bleeding stopped dead the day after my scan, which worried me, but I had a little at half 5 this morning which I'm really hoping is just a blip, but which also worried me).

I'm hoping this week's scan goes well and that helps me relax a bit more. I'm not normally a superstitious person but I feel like I can't get too excited or talk about it as real too much or I'll jinx it.

Happy Sunday y'all!

This month has certainly been an interesting one! I did my two opks today as normal. The CB one said 0 again, but then a couple of hours later, the cheapie recorded a low high. I realised that the reading is based on a second pink line, that hadn't appeared on any of the previous tests. The "high" the app had read the other day was based on a random dark line that had appeared. Intelligent recording my eye!

It seems therefore like I'm probably yet to arrive at the ovulation station! The SI's from the last few days certainly won't have done us any harm though! Will do another tonight too.

Definitely think the temperature check is a good idea for me in future (if necessary), as my wee sticks may not be enough for helping me build up a picture....! Feels like I'm slowly piecing together those jigsaw puzzle pieces...

Good to hear everyone is doing well! Keeping everything crossed for us all! 🤞 X

@primrosechill thank you 😊 I usually start spotting on 12dpo but nothing so far 🤞🤞 so that's a good sign whichever way it goes. As spotting 2/3 days leading up to AF properly starting is bloody annoying. I've been having a few cramps today though so not so hopeful. Although I looked at my chart and have logged cramps every single day for 14 days 😂
How exciting that your tww is here already 😊 I hope it goes quick for you! Have you managed to SI as much as you wanted to?

@MrsKin90 you’re in the exciting but scary period now - hope your sympoms are really a sign of something good this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Nothing new to report today other than that I’m pretty sure I ovulated either yesterday or earlier today (CD11 or 12, so at least a day earlier than usual - maybe the digital test was onto something after all) - we’ll maybe squeeze in one more SI tonight just to be super safe but then the syringe box goes under the bed! Big hugs!

There's a lot of SI going on for you all today!! 😊 Very exciting!
@Birchybirch I take my BBT and really like it. I couldn't manage OPKs and have PCOS so would get cross at false positives. BBT at least tells me when we can stop SI for the cycle. You could always try it and quit if you find it too stressful.

@eloiseislost so lovely to hear you're getting on okay! If pregnancy guaranteed an aversion to sweetness I'd have started TTC years ago as it's definitely the reason for my weight!! 😂I'm not sure about calling ourselves Gobble Gobble mum's in the future though, not out loud anyway!!

I'm 11dpo today. Sore boobs started today. Nothing else to report other than I'm going crazy!!

@primrosechill Hello! I'm good, thank you! 🙃 Tired, bloated, gassy, on and off nauseated, but so far so good! I have developed an aversion to cake and pretty much anything sweet, which DH says it makes him question the paternity! 🤣
Spoke with the midwife yesterday, she will phone again in a couple of weeks to arrange the booking appointment.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! I read the thread every day and keeping my fingers crossed for everyone! 🤞🏼
I was thinking the other day how awesome it would be if we had a mums & gobble gobble babies meet up one day? 🦃😆

Hello ladies! Hope you’re all having a good weekend. @Oilyoilyoilgob hope your morning session went well! I am currently lying with my legs up against the wall after SI-ing. Managed to get a good ol orgasm this time as well so fingers crossed this is our cycle. With so many of us inseminating at the same time this month, surely statistically we’re meant to get at least one positive this time round?! 🤞🏼

@DinkBoo @eloiseislost how are both of you feeling? Any new early pregnancy symptoms? 🤰🤗
