Thread 2!
Will try to tag everyone who was active recently in the old thread, but sorry if I missed anyone. And if you're one of the many who got BFPs in the old thread and you're currently wading through the dark depths of morning sickness, feel free to ignore us 😊

@Twinkle1989 not holding out much hope as my other tube was apparently open so should have been in for at least a small chance. I'm also not convinced my tubes are the issue. I'm just destined for childlessness. Not much else I can do if that's what life wants for me! IVF will just be another source of heartbreak 😊

Amazing! Congrats! I'm sure he's wonderful! Enjoy it 💕

Twinkle1989 · 27/10/2021 23:25

@unCliche great news that they've found a problem and managed to sort it - I kinda think that's better than not being able to find one if that makes any sense at all - I'm keeping everything crossed that it works for you!
I'm pleased that you'll get a referral if all else fails ♥️ must be incredibly frustrating for you! It will happen, I'm sure of it!!
Still recommend that Fertilily - I'm sure that helped us!

Yeah I had a little boy, he's 14 weeks old now 🥰 it's all going so fast!!!
Xx

Hey @Twinkle1989! Thanks for checking in! Still infertile 😁 had my tubes flushed in September, there was a blockage in my left tube which they managed to unblock. We've been given 3 months to continue trying and if no luck, they will refer us for IVF in January on the NHS.

You must have given birth now?? How is motherhood??

Twinkle1989 · 27/10/2021 21:06

@unCliche how are you getting on? I hope you're all good xx

unCliche · 19/06/2021 18:15

@Twinkle1989 will do!

So lovely to hear you're having a boy! 💙 I'm sure his room will be gorgeous! Good luck with the last few weeks and I look forward to hearing how you and baby are doing 😊

Twinkle1989 · 19/06/2021 09:49

@unCliche I'm wishing you the best of luck in your IVF cycle ♥️♥️♥️ please let us know how you're getting on!!

I'm now 34 weeks - we are having a boy and currently decorating his bedroom 😀

I'll be nice to hear from the other ladies on the thread too!! xx

unCliche · 17/06/2021 18:33

Hahaa @Cc7750 round and fat is exactly what you should be 😂 sounds like everything is progressing well with you! Not too long to go now!

It would be lovely to hear from the other ladies.

Cc7750 · 17/06/2021 17:44

@unCliche 30weeks, feel quite round and fat, my other half described me as an ‘egg’ the other day, cheeky bug*er ha!

Apart from not being able to drink gin in the heat and dealing with the heat im all good!

I wonder how the rest of the ladies are but they may reply x

unCliche · 17/06/2021 17:41

Aww @Cc7750 thanks love 💕 I knew before starting TTC that it wouldn't happen for me because I'm that unlucky so not surprised I'm still here 😁 but looking forward to having someone else do all the hard work for me 😂

How are you doing?? You must be in your 3rd trimester now right??

Cc7750 · 17/06/2021 17:31

@unCliche

I wish you all the luck and it will happen for you, stay positive!
And hope your well x

unCliche · 17/06/2021 16:58

@Pudding01 just checking in again! I've seen some of your posts and just wanted to wish you lots of luck and let you know you're not alone!

I'll be starting IVF (ICSI) next cycle so loads for me to look forward to! Hopefully we'll both be getting some good news very soon! Good luck and take care 💕

unCliche · 23/04/2021 16:59

Hey @Pudding01, how are you doing? Sorry to see you're still TTC 😞 I haven't had much luck either. Did your last thread about late AF and spotting lead to a BFP? I hope it did 🤞

I'm currently on cycle 8 and I've been taking progesterone pessaries which has given me my highest temps and RHR ever. Not expecting much but it's nice to see something different happening.

Hey I hope you are all well! I have nothing to report, lockdown boring life! About to exchange on properties and now 17 weeks pregnant so in that stage where you don't really feel pregnant at all! But Midwife did doopla and all good!

How is everyone, any gossip! how are the puppies, houses, life with and without wine

Pudding01 · 16/03/2021 22:02

Heyyyyy! Happy to see the pregnancies are progressing nicely 🥰 and thanks for checking in. Didn't want to be the needy one in the group when you're all probably in baby groups now 😂😂

Only progession I have is my wine belly. But I am 8dpo today. Had some weird brown very very small spotting when I wiped first thing, but thinking nothing of it as my cycles have been weird since I came off the pill on October! I wondered maybe if I just had a poorly tummy when I woke up but I don't think it was 🤣👀

Twinkle1989 · 16/03/2021 21:57

@EllyNC glad you're feeling more yourself!

I'm now almost 21 weeks and feeling lately ok - occasionally very sick but nowhere near as bad as the first few weeks!

Are you finding out the gender?

EllyNC · 15/03/2021 14:52

Hi everyone! How are you all? This thread has gotten very quiet!
I haven’t got much to update you on, just continuing on waiting for lockdown to ease so we can have more of a life! 15 weeks now and feeling more myself which is lovely after so long feeling shite!!
Any updates?

AlisonWhite · 07/03/2021 07:37

Hey ladies!!!!
I'm so sorry I went off the grid. I got a new phone and hadn't got all my apps etc on and then pregnancy took over. How are you all? Update me xxxxx

Cc7750 · 06/03/2021 09:12

Hey @EllyNC all good down here, nice that the sun is starting to come out and it’s not so cold! I’m starting to think about moving house and looking for storage etc.... not looking fun to packing! How’s everyone else doing x

EllyNC · 24/02/2021 13:27

Hi girls,
How is everyone doing??
Sorry about the bfn @Pudding01- how are you doing? You’re house plans sound really exciting, can’t wait to hear how you get on! I’d love to extend our house but I reckon it would be cheaper for us to move!! Plus- not too sure on any of the schools around where we live so probably the better idea!!!

HerringGull · 19/02/2021 13:32

@Pudding01 oh no! Hate a BFN Sad
I know, it's tricky when you're doing so much work that you're basically changing the house totally - would it be better just to move?! I guess it depends how much you love the house you're in at the moment eh. Sounds like you'll get a lot of benefits from your plans though, and hopefully not tooo expensive. Hope you find a builder to start soon!

OP posts:
Pudding01 · 19/02/2021 10:39

@HerringGull I tested 😂 BFN. But rather that than thr faint lines I had last couple of months! I feel ok, think I am gearing up for AF as a bit gassy, crampy and moody lol

Looking to do a side extension behind our garage to add a utility and downstairs loo along side the kitchen. I want to knock down the conservatory and extend out with either an L shape for a dinning room or the full width for a massive kitchen, but DP said we may as well just move 😂 We are going to knock in to the airing cupboard upstairs and add a separate shower in the bathroom though. Can't wait!

Ahh fair enough lol I forget about the secrecy/privacy on here sometimes! I'm in the concrete jungle that is the East Midlands, so probably a bit easier for me 🤣

HerringGull · 19/02/2021 09:13

How are you feeling today @Pudding01?
Is your extension small enough so you don't need planning permission? Is it going out the back of your house? Builders are very hard to find, especially decent ones!
Would love to post a pic of my house but think it might be outing! I've already said I'm from the north west Highlands and there's not that many people here, so tied in with everything else I've said... 😆

Pudding01 · 18/02/2021 19:29

Aww I bet the 12 week scan was lovely @Cc7750!

@HerringGull Oooh I've been waiting to sort our extension and new kitchen and bathroom but don't seem to be having much luck finding a good builder. Well my other half isn't, I may take over once I'm redundant next month lol exciting times for you! Show us before and afters. I'm a bit obsessed with houses and interior design and stuff.

I am 10dpo today, cd27. Not tested yet after all the faint positives I had last two cycles.
No real symptoms. Really veiny boobs last night and they were hot and swollen, but feel better today. We are going to have a conversation soon about trying and planning the wedding, as not sure you can so both! X

HerringGull · 18/02/2021 11:10

Hey Pudding! How's things with you? Where are you in your cycle?
I'm fine, lots on at the moment with work, and also hopefully starting building the extension soon, eek! The weather's now warm and wet, having had weeks of easterlies and temps down to minus ten, brrr, so I'm actually welcoming the rain Grin

OP posts:
Cc7750 · 17/02/2021 21:20

@Pudding01 I’m good thanks! I had the 12 week scan, due 26th Aug. So aside from groundhog lockdown and the rain all
Is well. How are you?
