TTC February/March

And the 12 week scan is actually like 8 weeks after you find out, right?

How much is an early scan? @lucea87

This is lady Lily who's going to cross the rainbow bridge. I love her soooo much.

I've known her since she was seconds old 🥺

My parents are Scotland and I'm London so a bit tricky 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ooooh all these doggos 🥰🥰 ours is fast asleep after a long wet walk!! I've tried to attach photo of him, but not sure if it's worked. He's lovely when he's asleep!

@minthumbugs sounds like it! Not sure if ovulation will be today or tomorrow. Gonna be a long old 2 weeks 😭😭

@kaylsd I want to tell family in person which is difficult at the moment, my family are local but OH aren't, I plan on paying for an early scan though to ease my mind so will probably tell them after that I think as just want to be cautious. We are meeting with my family hopefully in mid April once allowed so hoping if I'm pregnant this time I'll be able to tell them then.

So many messages today! Absolutely knackered having the kids in. They've gone feral I swear.

@lucea87 whoop whoop and I'm going to try and hold off as much as I can. I just don't believe it will happen anyway. So exciting for you with your static. The fun begins!

@kaylsd made me cry reading what you have done for the people on your rounds. You are so kind. I only use Femometer but that changes based on any ewcm and any other symptoms you add. I don't know. I've not even been using that long - I was just tracking in my Garmin app. I do get what you mean about pregnancy updates etc. It gets a bit gruelling but it'll be our turn soon enough I'm sure! Definitely an advocate for talking about it all more. It's just the societal pressure. I don't want MIL asking me every week how it's going. I think I'd rather open up to Trump about my cervical mucus than my MIL 🤦🏼‍♀️ Have the best week off! I love Mable. More Mable in my life please! 🤞 For your opk peak. I don't think I would want to do a big social media reveal. I think I'd want to call the most important people to us if we can't see them in real life but I wouldn't want to tell anyone too soon except you girls!

@KatieLooLa Ares is a real stunner! Can't tell from photo if she's husky or malamute. She's sooo lovely! I want to bury my face in all her floof. You should keep her fur and felt it 🤣🤣🤣 I always say these to my parents as the breed Bernese Mountain Dogs and have 7 full time so SO much fur. I also think you're cycle triplets with me and Slinks.

@Seraphim87 1 day closer to that bfp lovely. And time to relax and pamper yourself a bit.

@Slinks8113 omg not tmi. We're all googling implantation bleeding for you now. It sounds totally textbook. 1 in 3 women get it so 🤞🤞🤞 Will you let us know what the doctor says? I still keep feeling nauseous and tired but being back at school with the kids would do that to most people 🤣🤣 Especially when you have to fish a dead mouse out of a kid's rucksack mid lesson 🤢

@minthumbugs we'll have everything crossed for you darling xxx

Sorry @Seraphim87 :( but CD1 now for you, new cycle and hopefully this is the one! Xx

@Slinks8113 how strange... how long have you been bleeding? Very annoying that when you look out for every sign your body gives you them. X

@kaylsd I definitely feel that with the announcements. I won't lie... I'm a blocker! I'm definitely happy for them but if it's someone who is particularly active on fb I can't deal with the daily updates. Am I bad?! Ha!

@lucea87 i think we might be on a similarish timescale the next few weeks keeping each other company!

I'm on 1DPO today (I'm pretty sure I am anyway). Feels nice that it's on a Monday lol, well here we go time to wait... I'm 50/50 got my hopes up and resigned to the fact AF will come. Think the statistics of it happening 1st cycle and 1st cycle after MC are so low I just don't want to get disappointed!

@kaylsd
What a cute pooch! Love that she was a bridesmaid for you, what a lovely touch.
Mine was giving me the usual morning argument while waiting for me to get ready to take her a walk! Had a nice walk along the beach, thankfully it stopped raining by the time we got out so didn’t need to dry her off too much. Filled a small bin bag full of her fur and she’s still got loads left to come out. Think a baby might actually be less work lol!

The girl at work, she’s nice enough but just kinda feels like a slap in the face at times as she’ll say she feels a little funny and ask for a break just to go out and have a cigarette! Have to admit I’m not being as careful as I could and smoke myself, however cutting down and if I get that BFP it’s be out the window and switching to decaf tea and coffee. X

Potentially TMI but yesterday had a fair amount of blood when I went to the toilet twice but then since 7 last night had nothing and now just a light brown/pink tinge when I wipe...think my body is playing silly buggers with me!
I also rang the doctor today and waiting for a call back this afternoon, not holding out much hope for any advice but will see what she says about my short LPs. X

[quote KatieLooLa]@kaylsd I do the same when people announce their pregnancies, wish them all the best but on the inside wishing it were me instead.
A girl at work is pregnant and I’m really annoyed with her as she’s going on about baby’s health yet smokes heavily and drinks energy drinks... I’ll stop there as I’ll end up ranting too much! X[/quote]
I'll try not set you off sweet but I know exactly how you feel, I'm literally so cautious even in my TWW just on the principle of if I am pregnant 🙈 I do laugh at half the stuff I do see on Facebook though I love the ideas of the announcement of pregnancy really cute what some people do 🥰

Has anyone thought in advance how they would tell people? Or how they would tell their loved ones :')? Something for us all to look forward to no doubt in the future 🤞🏻🌈🙃

Well AF has reared her ugly head, which at least shows something. Just feel a bit grotty. Means can give this TTC a decent shot now this month!

[quote lucea87]@kaylsd you'll be at it like rabbits 🐇 (thanks for the sign haha!)

I think we've both psyched ourselves up that we need to DTD tonight and tomorrow now. Then it's going to be a long 2 weeks. I've updated femo this morning with cervix position (high and open) and also EWCM as that's started today too and it's changed my predicted ovulation to today. Will do my femo ovulation strips this afternoon and see how they look. The line on CB was strong this morning and I am cramping a little. I'm terrified. I missed this last month because my cycle was all over, just need to stay calm and focus. I can't help in terms of which app is more accurate as this is only my second month and I was crap at tracking last cycle until later on.....!![/quote]
Oh you're most welcome 🐰 hehe have you being following the smep plan or just when the mood fits? Me and hub this month are trying to take a relaxed approach cause we're knackered when it came to the smep approach what we did last month 🙈 what time of day do you normally do your OPK? I tend to do it around 12ish everyday, I've not had a increase yet but I've had a dip in temperature this morning and my OPK yesterday was 0.27 so I'm wondering if it's the start of things to come, I guess I'll know more in a hours time 🤞🏻

Morning ladies,
How are we all today? I have the day off today... kinda. My lovely doggy will come shout at me soon for me to take her for a walk, then she’ll need a brush (I’ve brushed near everyday and there’s still more fur!) and of course housework... yay...
Pic of my fur baby Ares attached

@CycloGoose I’m CD23/9DPO. Usually around this time I’d be feeling this and that, this month though not feeling a lot of anything really, so will have to wait and see x

Morning ladies first day off today for 8 days wahooooo! And guess what it's fertile week for me and my hubby also has the same time off as me so you can imagine what it's going to be like 😉😘🙃 hahaha

Quick question

For those who use tracking apps, I have two fermometer & Premom, when it predicts your day off ovulation which do you normally believe? Some months premom is spot on and then others it's out and fermometer is accurate 🙈 I only temp to confirm ovulation then I don't bother tracking it for the rest of the month as no doubt I'll be like a crazy lady!

I'm litterally feeling every time I go on Facebook there's yet again another pregnancy announcement, i have a element of guilt when I see them because I feel bad that I'm wishing it's me but happy at the same time, never realised this journey was so up and down with emotions! I was speaking to one of my friends yesterday and she was telling me it took her 2 years for her first baby and had to Medicate her cycles because the pill affected her ovulation, I feel like when it comes to it for us hopefully I want to be so open about the fact it's not as simple as having unprotected sex, or it might not take the first few month of stopping pill to catch on, as I feel like trying for a baby is such a taboo subject for those who take slightly longer than others and feel bad about it when it's completely normal!

How's everyone getting along with their cycle? Anyone close to testing or in the enjoyment bit of the fertile week like me? I'm cd 15, I normally ovulate between 17-20 :D

For those starting a new cycle, sending lots of love & hugs, just means a new opportunity new cycle new start and new chance to catch that egg! 👌🏻👌🏻❤️🌈

CD18 and I just got the static smiley on CB. Kinda nice as I didn't get that last month....!! I'll do a couple of femometers later. We both fell asleep last night so need to make sure we get cracking tonight and probably tomorrow night too so that we don't miss it!!!

@CycloGoose I would hang on as long as you possibly can. Try and keep occupied as best you can xxxx

What day did you say you were on @KatieLooLa? I'm CD8. Praying not to get period on CD9 again!

Femometer says to test on CD10 but I'm worried that's too early. I've got about 50 tests but they're all cheap ones.

I had never even heard of implantation bleeding before TTC. It's an absolute minefield. I've learned so much in the last 7 months!!

@lucea87 I've been told off too 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Slinks8113
You’re not alone, every month I’m convinced AF is implantation till it starts getting heavy.
Week 2 of 2WW and I’m fighting the urge to do a pregnancy test (or 10...) but I will hold out! If I wait maybe I might get that BFP?

@Slinks8113 @CycloGoose I would be guilty of the same, for the first couple of my last period I was trying to convince myself it was just implantation...!!!

Femometer has told me off for inconsistent BBT 🙄

Well, I know what high cervix actually feels like. Last month I thought it was high at the end of my cycle, it is most definitely high and open now. We had a terrible night with our Rambo (hates sleeping in his crate all of a sudden) but determined to get baby dancing as much as possibly this week.

@Slinks8113 last cycle I was still taking pregnancy tests after my period because it was so early and short. I'm totally with you. Everything crossed for you.

I'm okay. Still a few cramps but not so bad. I'm very nervous about AF arriving.

Thanks for kind words about my lovely doggo. I was there when she was born - she was the first our family bred so it's super sad.

Does anyone spend the first day of their period googling 'implantation bleeding' or is it just me 😂🙋🏼‍♀️ so hopeful that it stops but very doubtful! X

Oh @CycloGoose so sorry. ☹️ Xx

@Slinks8113 oh no sorry 😢 fingers crossed for next cycle

@CycloGoose how awful 😥😥 so sorry to hear that. Will squeeze mine a little tighter tonight even though he's a horror for sure xx

@CycloGoose I've just been googling so will try a few extra vitamins going forward to see if that helps :) how you feeling?
Sorry to hear about your parents dog - such sad news and a shame in lockdown even more so! X
