TTC February/March

@Slinks8113 it could be implantation drop?

I'm so crampy most of the time at the moment. Thinking AF going to come early again. But there was a 🐝 on our school newsletter so I'm having that 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

We'll remember to sing happy birthday next Friday @kaylsd !!

Hope everyone is enjoying their flashy smileys and peak OPKs.

Hope all good with @Sallyjo27 and @els10

Have lovely weekends everyone xxx

@kaylsd yesssssss perfect timing haha! Happy birthday ;)

@kaylsd our boy has his moments, his name is Rambo...he is Rambo by nature for sure 😂😂 he's 6 months next week so he's going through the teenage phase right now where is has forgotten everything we taught him. He has also had Giardia for ages now, only diagnosed a few weeks ago but on his second lot of medication now poor thing! I took him on a super long walk at lunch so hoping he will have a good sleep later 🤞🏼

[quote lucea87]@kaylsd ooooh yeah, it's gonna be a good birthday for you 😂😂

Few drinks here tonight and hopefully a bit of DTD later....! I did 2 femometer LH tests today and the second one had a faint line so looks like my peak is on the way 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Spent most of the day working clearing the oversized downstairs loo to make room for the dog so he has a 'den' because he hates the pen he has downstairs and can now get out. It's warmed my heart watching OH putting a baby gate up 🥰🥰[/quote]
Omg that is the cutest thing ever, my Mable would love her own little spot but saying that she'll still find a way to come around us, I saw this video on Facebook of this dog and a voice over saying accept me as a grandchild grandma otherwise I'm gonna tell mum to send you to a care home 😂😂🙈 I also saw this what was quite cute! Made me smile :') dogs are the best, I actually think any animals is the best with the circumstances of the lockdown for the company point of view ❤️

[quote Slinks8113]**@kaylsd* @lucea87* I think I'm of the same opinion. The only difference is that I'm pretty sure I haven't had it but I also have a weekly test and am very careful. My partner mentioned it the other day in terms of holidays but I'm just going to wait it out I think until either baby is here or there is more evidence x [/quote]
That's my stance too, it's something I can control when I feel like it's more suited to have in my life, right now as I've being TTC 7 month I'm coming edging closer to the 12 month mark where investigations can take place I just thought I'd wait if I pass that mark without baby and then because investigations take time if I need them I'll most likely have it within that time frame but hopefully it won't come to that 🤞🏻🌈❤️😫

[quote lucea87]@kaylsd thanks for the link to the reading, I might try that if no luck this time as her lead time is about 10 days. It really is so lovely, we had a long chat last night reminiscing! We shared some incredible moments of our teen years together for sure!!

Forgot to mention, first flashing smiley on CB this morning 🎉 so my cycle looks to be more in order this month thankfully!![/quote]
It's worth a shot if you fancy something a little bit more detailed, I found it quite comforting to read something like that it felt a little bit more personal than the others 🙈❤️😘

@CycloGoose @lucea87 gutted I stopped with the CB, would have liked to have seen a smiley 😂 but hey ho, at least it's happening I had doubts!

Too soon @minthumbugs ?

So please you got positive opk! DTD asap! You should ovulate between 12 and 48 hours from now. Today and tomorrow your best bets xxx

I have a positive OPK! Woooo. How long do I have?!

CB app told me yesterday I had missed it and to stop testing so I did. Used a cheapie this afternoon and two strong lines! Cheered me up after a conversation about my weird bleeding with my GP who barked at me 'well don't you think it's too soon to TTC?'

Sorry busy morning!

I'm really worried about the vaccine. I should have it because my asthma has got really bad over the years but TTC journey has already been so hard I just don't want to do a single thing that could jeopardize it but I also don't want to end up in hospital again. I still wonder if the pneumonia I had in Oct 2019 was Covid but really early i.e. before it was made public. But it could just have been a common chest infection turned bad.
We've got a wedding in Poland in the summer but I really don't think I want the vaccine. I'm TOTALLY pro Vax but I'm also incredibly anxious about having a mini-us.
Yey for flashing smiley @lucea87 let the good times roll!
No AF yet. Literally taking 1 day at a time and hoping with everything that Jade's tarot was wrong for August.
I've got a unicorn 🦄 one due on Monday which should be fun. It's an American one I think - saw it on Peanut.

We've had this conversation in terms of holidays too but I can't see how anyone will enforce it this year as there really won't be a huge amount of people who have had both jabs in time for summer so they won't make much money!! It'll be the end of the year at least I think. There's got to be a balance of testing and vaccines I think/hope.

[quote Slinks8113]@CycloGoose mine dropped this morning but I didn't sleep particularly well - I haven't all week to be fair - so not sure if this is a continuous drop and my phase is super short or not! Will see how it is tomorrow :) no symptoms yet except being extremely tired and the odd cramp here and there! Not really reading much into it at this early stage :)

Just on a slightly different topic, what is everyone's thought on the vaccine? I've heard different things about having it while ttc and am putting it off but lots of people at work have been able to get it as were classed as critical workers. I'm not anti vaccine in any way btw, just intrigued if anyone has had any actual medical advice in relation to it and ttc rather than just rumours on Facebook haha. Xx[/quote]
For the vaccination stance I'm not having it, I'm not a anti vac and I've had people tell me I should be ashamed knowing that I'm a nurse and I've not had it but I have my reasons. My husband is having it and whole of my family and I will also be having it when ive hopefully had a baby, but I've already had covid in November 2020 and I had the antibodies test shortly after which showed I had antibodies, I know they don't necessarily last as a defence system but I'm being a little bit selfish with the TTC as I don't want a dose incase I'm pregnant at the time of doing the dose & I didn't want to put anything on hold (they originally said to stop for 3 month so you can have both doses but they now have changed their mind?) I Have to have a covid test every week, and self test twice weekly and I wear full PPE whenever I'm in contact with people so I have a element of protection, but soon as I can post baby hopefully whenever that will be, I will be the first to get it sorted and have my vac then :) xx

@lucea87 @CycloGoose what a small
World it is for you guys, maybe this was always going to happen for you guys to were
Always meant to reconnect based on your journeys TTC! Awwww that's so lovely :') xx

Morning ladies!

@CycloGoose I've had what I go to school for in my head whilst in the shower this morning....!

@Slinks8113 I'm not having it until they say it's safe for pregnancy/trying or until baby is born. I think they say you have to weigh it up so if you do a job or have a illness where the benefits would outweigh the risk then go for it. I'm also 99.9% certain I already had Covid. I know that doesn't mean I can't catch it again but still. I'm just planning on being careful. 3 months is a long time, I've waited so long to have a baby.

Not gonna lie, I'm still going to post on here as if we're strangers because this is our safe place where we can talk about all the crazy things that we probably wouldn't say in real life to actual people 😂😂😂

But I also know what you're gonna find in the box - I became the real Miss McKenzie haha 00s pop.

How you getting on @slinks8113 ? My temperature was really high this am. Might be because DH shouted something in his sleep and I woke up scared witless! Getting nervous now because CD21 and cycle was only 23 days last time.

Sorry if I've been a bit overbearing on the thread. I've been doing anything but my work and I find comfort here. Hope everyone is doing well xxx

I'm gonna dig out my memory box this weekend because I know I have loads of photos of us! I cannot believe that we have ended up on the same thread!!!

Haha no way! What a small world 😂

@CycloGoose @lucea87 this is amazing!!! I was hoping you guys would give an update!
