Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@Sallyjo27 woohoo! Brill news :) x x

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 09:47

Sure that's fine @Iloveoreos I just wanted to try the cup thing

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd oooh that's really in depth! No wonder she's behind. Very specific I like it. That's not tarot is it, that's more psychic?

Don't really know what I'm doing with the cup thing. Just hope for the best. I tend to have a quick snuggle and then get on with stuff. I've heard mixed things about the old legs in air

I've not had a great day today. Needed a sugar fix but there wasn't anything healthy in the house so I poured a load of honey over some dry cereal. Oh my days 🤣😅[/quote]
10 min lying down before heading to toilet should be enough right?

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 08:48

Yey @Sallyjo27 I hoped that was going to be the case and you'd just upset yourself with a less sensitive stick but didn't want to say in case you had lost it. Really hope that the injections help you to keep your beautiful little bundle of cells xxx

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 08:46

@Slinks8113 I'm a teacher. Very much working but I have bad asthma so I've been doing as much as possible from home and then just going in on weekends when there's noone else there.

It could possibly be a UTI symptom but I don't have any others. Probably nothing, I just didn't like it.

No hanky panky here since the weekend either!

Progesterone can make you feel knackered anyway and then coming off the coffee, too...

Sallyjo27 · 03/03/2021 08:45

Thank you both for checking in. Another positive! So definitely pregnant. I’ve ordered my injections now so just waiting for them to come @CycloGoose @Slinks8113

@CycloGoose I'm an operations manager for a medical supplies company so have been in work all through covid really. What about you?
Pink tinge seems a bit strange but the odd spotting can be normal through cycles. Could it be DTD related? We've not had sex since the ovulation confirmation 😂😂 think we're both glad of the break 🙈
I just feel knackered at the moment but I think that is caffeine related! Last time I was pregnant the only early symptoms I had was overly sensitive sense of smell and breathlessness. I was regularly going to the gym at the time so was fairly fit but just walking up the stairs would have me huffing and puffing! X

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 08:35

@Slinks8113 it really is a drag isn't it!
Where do you work? I haven't been going in at all so not been a problem 🤣

How you feeling otherwise?

I've woken up and got a weird pink tinge to my discharge. Freaking me out a little bit. Too early for implantation. If I'm getting AF already I am not going to be impressed.

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 08:33

Yes I was logging on to see if you were okay too @Sallyjo27 please don't feel silly. We would all have been the same and we're all still here for you if you need to vent xxx

Slinks8113 · 03/03/2021 08:27

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Happy 4dpo @CycloGoose....thought it was 5 today haha. It really does go slow.

@Sallyjo27 any more news lovely?

@kaylsd that's a brilliant reading! It's scary if it's accurate, can you imagine! Especially the grandchildren bit! You'll still be talking about it in your 60s telling your son it's definitely going to be a boy! 🥰

I'm really reducing the caffeine intake since the weekend and really not sleeping well at all out of it - which seems strange but hopefully only be a few more days! Think people at work now think I'm pregnant as well 😂🙈

CycloGoose · 02/03/2021 21:56

Just abit of evening reading for you ladies, I got my long waited in depth fertility reading which I've been waiting for some time for this one and paid the most for (I normally go for ones which are a couple of pound than those anymore) but I thought fourth time is the charm and it'll be the final one for me and this is how it went..

I am seeing a BOY and the month of APRIL for you. This means conception or positive pregnancy test in April 2021 OR a birth in April 2022.

I see you feeling pretty good, the main symptom I see for you are sore breasts and I feel this will continue throughout your pregnancy, I do not see any nausea or tiredness, you will be quite energetic right until the end. I see you craving a lot of spicy food and protein, steaks etc. I see you having an uncomplicated, easy pregnancy. I feel that he will be born three days after your due date, I see your water breaking and you going into spontaneous labour. I feel it will take about 8 hours total, I see you getting the epidural and coping just fine with everything. I see him being born around 8.30 PM in the evening with lots of dark brown hair, weighing 8.5 pounds! He will be a copy of his dad physically and his dad looks like a double of his own dad.

This is a very active child which you will already notice while pregnant, he will be kicking away from an early stage. He will be reaching all his physical milestones early, walking by 9.5 months old. His speech will take a bit longer, he wont say much until he turns 2 - 2.5 but after that he will be a chatterbox. He is also very outgoing, needs a lot of activity and sports but he is also a good sleeper and eater, I see no problems with that. He will easily make friends and connect with people, he will have a large set of friends throughout school and I feel he will participate in school football and continue in college as well. I feel he will study something completely different though, I am shown mathematics and physics here, I feel he will go into research and actually make some pretty interesting discovery in his lifetime. He is an interesting person with a lot of different sides to him. I see him marrying in his early 30s and having two sons of his own.

You have shared many past lives, a lot of them did include a lot of struggle financially but you always had a very warm connection and you have always been his mother so this is a natural position for you. I feel that both of you have learned what truly matters the most in life and you are able to focus on the important things and know that you can get by with very little if necessary.

My points of review this one which I found amazed by the depth of insight if it comes true! Like predicting my future grandchildren which I found the most bizzare 😂🙈🙈 however the highlight for me was the April prediction, it's the first time of a boy has been predicted in my readings I've had girl 3 times, I've also had the summer months of July mentioned 3 times but what reads of interest of this one is due date of April 2022, which means conception in July time ish!!! :o that month keeps cropping up for me time and time again even though positive by next month also feel excited but I'll try not to read too much that part :D

kaylsd · 02/03/2021 21:38

[quote els10]@CycloGoose @kaylsd both times I've got pregnant I've used a diva cup...
and shit myself that it's stuck. You have to birth it back out of it goes too high. Practising pushing for labour 😂😂😂😂😂 it can't actually go anywhere though. And makes it a whole less messy..nothing dripping down your leg 😅 HIGHLY RECOMMEND [/quote]
Oh gosh I still don't know how to feel about the use of one of these maybe if I get to cycle 10 I might give it bash as it'll be closer to the one year mark :') what do you guys think about the old fashion tale of legs up in the air or not moving after BD for so long, do you guys not worry about that bit now with your cups in situ @CycloGoose @els10

minthumbugs · 02/03/2021 15:17

Yep @Iloveoreos! I'm waiting to ovulate too. I'm on CD16 and no sign yet. Really hope I'm going to ovulate this month, my fingers and toes are crossed. Xx

Iloveoreos · 02/03/2021 14:47

Thats a clever selling strategy by CB.. obviously the reader is expensive.the sticks will be cheap. They dont sell replacement ti make money and rip us ladies Wink
@cyclogoose
@minthumbugs
On another note- How is everyone. Who else on here is now in the march cycle and waiting to ovulate?
Also wishing lots of baby dust to ladies on TWW. Xx 🤗🤗

CycloGoose · 02/03/2021 14:36

@slinks8113 no you've done it exactly right. If you've got sticks left you can use them again in your next cycle. They just don't sell sticks without a reader so if you need more sticks, you'll get a new reader too. You can use the new sticks in the old reader if you run out mid cycle. Sorry was trying to answer @iloveoreos question.

Basically, just don't test once you've got static smiley until you've had your period and ready to start again.

minthumbugs · 02/03/2021 14:24

@Iloveoreos i came to this realisation yesterday! I think I got 20 or 25 with mine and it was on sale on Amazon - they're not cheap though are they!

How is everyone doing today? 💞

Iloveoreos · 02/03/2021 14:15

Thats a bummer..it would have been cheaper to keep the reader and buy replacements :/

Slinks8113 · 02/03/2021 14:14

@CycloGoose

Well mine said August but I'm definitely still trying to beat it *@Slinks8113*

@Iloveoreos you can't buy replacement sticks but I got a 20 pack with mine which was enough for 2 cycles. You can't test for another peak is what it means. Once you get your peak, you leave it until the smiley face goes away (48 hrs later) and then start using it again on the day it tells you to depending on the length of your cycle. Hope that makes sense.

So for a next cycle, you need to buy a new reader? I stopped using mine after the peak...was I meant to test again? X

@CycloGoose

Oh *@izzyboo22* that's really frustrating! Hate that our bodies are so cruel to us.

@Slinks8113 can you imagine if we did both conceive! It would be brilliant! ✨✨

Does anyone else get a bit oversensitive around ovulation? I've had a very minor telling off at work and it's really upset me. Then we've been told our school is leaving the teachers' pension scheme which really sucks especially because I asked about it at interview and they said they wanted to stay in it.

Yes it would be so lovely! My tarot reading said April though so it might not be my month! Still hopeful though haha x
Iloveoreos · 02/03/2021 14:07

Hi ladies

I have a cb digital opk related question. First time user of the digi one
It says on the box that once u get peak u cant use the digital holder again? Is that true and Does that mean I cant buy any more replacements opk to use in it for future cycles??

CycloGoose · 02/03/2021 13:03

Slinks8113 · 02/03/2021 12:45

@CycloGoose - snap! actual TWW and conception due date twins right here! Fingers crossed for longer LPs and hopefully baby dust! X

izzyboo22 · 02/03/2021 12:00

CD36 BFN, now 7 days late with no sign of AF arriving, very frustrating! you really can convince yourself of things, yesterday I had sharp breast pains nothing like my usual PMS symptoms, and twinges on one side so thought maybe it was slightly later OV (although that probably wouldn't work out right with the dates we BD) but now clearly just PMS, come on AF hurry up!
