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.

@lucea87

I'm the same with the nervousness about the doggo and a baby but I'm sure he will be fine, I hope so anyway!! He's still a baby himself (6 months old today!).

My prediction has updated as I've had a peak in my femometer LH tests this morning, so now days ovulation tomorrow instead of yesterday 🙄 think we will skip tonight and try again tomorrow, we are both knackered, possibly do tomorrow & Thursday but will see what the tests are saying. God this is exhausting isn't it girls 😂😂

The exact happened to me on the same app last month I was almost sure of which day I ovulated on yet it decided to do the Hokey Cokey and change it all up due to one random temperature :') you've probably covered all angles with your baby dancing sweetheart but what's harm in once more for good measure ;)

@minthumbugs CD24/10DPO, I’m hoping it was just my own stupidity for not waiting till first thing tomorrow morning to use the test. We shall see! Till AF rears her ugly head I’m still in the game x

Iloveoreos · 09/03/2021 18:36

@lucea87 yes the sticks can b addictive to use

minthumbugs · 09/03/2021 18:24

Sorry @KatieLooLa :( but you're not out yet! How many DPO are you? There's still time. X

@lucea87 i feel that. I'm very glad to have entered the TWW so I'm not obsessing every afternoon lol (I say that now)

lucea87 · 09/03/2021 17:26

Ps. I confess I am a POAS addict now with the LH strips 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

lucea87 · 09/03/2021 17:25

@Sallyjo27 have everything crossed for you lovely please keep us posted xx

So I think I hit peak at around 10am today and femometer has changed ovulation day to today now. There's no way we are up for it tonight but will go for tomorrow night just in case. I slept with my fertility cup in for a few hours last night so hopeful those swimmers are up there waiting for that precious egg 🥰

@kaylsd literally every time I go to the loo I'm expecting to see AF because she was so early last month. So far so good. I tested this morning with the cheapies and obviously negative. I think I've got about 50 so I'll probably just test with those until AF. I'd rather spend the money on making the pregnancy happen rather than checking if it has!

It's totally full on being back with the kids. Literally my first break now since 8am. But duty was outside today and it's glorious sunshine here. The grounds are absolutely stunning, too. I can see why parents would pay to send their boys here. It's a real idyll.

Definitely don't need any more readings! Yours are lovely. I liked the future children one. I was totally convinced we'd have boys though.

@lucea87 Rambo will be gorgeous I'm sure! I'm hoping to try to convince DH we can get a dog once I'm not working but the cost of them 🥺 Not sure he'll go for it. Maybe I can register to be a doggy daycare and just get a bit of money for looking after someone else's pooch during the day!

@KatieLooLa still in the game though!

@Sallyjo27 really glad to hear from you. Everything crossed that your baby sticks this time xxx

Sallyjo27 · 09/03/2021 14:07

@CycloGoose yes I’m okay thank you waiting for hcg bloods to come back.

@MgW1 I’m sorry for your losses I was referred in July after my 3rd and still haven’t heard anything. I went private in the end and had lots of bloods done but they found nothing f wrong. I was prescribed cyclogest and went on to have my 4th miscarriage. I’m currently pregnant again and have been given clexane and cylogest to try this time xxx

I bit the bullet and bought an ultra early Clearblue pregnancy test.... sadly it’s negative. That said though I was so eager to test I didn’t use first morning urine so I’ve most likely pissed money away (literally!)
I’m such an idiot 😔

lucea87 · 09/03/2021 08:36

@minthumbugs

I have a very boisterous and needy doggo and we were so worried when our LO was born! But it couldn't have gone any better, they have been best friends from day 1 and now they entertain each other - it's fab 😂 poor dog puts up with being treated like a horse, chasing and tail grabbing and takes it like a champ ❤️
Aww this is my dream 💕

@KatieLooLa

So many doggy photos and all of them adorable! Ares is sat at the end of the bed while we watch tv, feeling sorry for herself because mum forgot to get more of her favourite treats and the ones in the cupboard aren’t good enough 😂

@CycloGoose She’s a Siberian husky, have debated doing something with all that fur, enough there to stuff a mattress! I keep saying she’d make a lovely rug when she plays us up 😆
3 of us with same cycle, well they say good things come in 3’s! 🤞🏻

@kaylsd Ares is very good around around babies, she belonged to my sister-in-law till a year ago when we took her on. She’s got 2 small boys and Ares had been with her through her pregnancies and while they were babies/toddlers. Think Nanny from Peter Pan, Ares is a little like that so I’ve no concerns.
Best thing to do when you eventually have a baby is to ignore everyone else when you bring baby home for the first time and introduce the new addition to Mable before anyone else, she’ll see baby as a new member of her pack.

That is so reassuring to read about your pooch and how well they get along with the little ones, thank you for your advice I'm sure it'll just be a little bit of a initial adjustment like anything in life ❤️ today's treat for Mable is were going to take her on a long walk out this morning around this lake which is near our house and walk round with a costa because it's just across the road from it 😋 and maybe sprinkle the odd baby dance in as my BBT has started dipping 😉🌈🥰
kaylsd · 09/03/2021 07:09

@CycloGoose

I agree *@kaylsd* wowwowwowwow! You've absolutely nailed it. They can be little shits but I love them totally. You're a good egg, I can tell. I'm so excited for you for your birthday. Sounds like you have found such a lovely way to make it special despite the lockdown! I absolutely love a fairy light. Fecking squirrels ate through my cables - squirrel sign there! Such a gorgeous idea for bump reveal, too!

@slinks8113 that's surely absolute bullfrog. Mine did actually ask me if I'd tried using OPKs. They just have their hands tied don't they. Sorry AF has come in full force! I was with you on that rollercoaster hoping for the best!

My pregnancy unicorn 🦄🦄 readings are in! Could be read as being VERY exciting!!

Making me think I should test tomorrow but I don't have a frer and no way I'll get a BFP on a cheapy on CD10 surely!

Eeeekkk morning sweetheart how are you feeling today? Are you testing this morning or gonna wait for AF? I did so well last month holding out to get the dodgiest Evap line I've seen then AF came with force! I hope today's more smoother for you at work, I guess it might just take time to adjust and settle back down for the kiddies point of view for the first few week then no doubt you'll just get back to normal and a half term will be creeping around the corner 🙈

I love your reading prediction chick! Just gives you hope that everything you've been wanting these last 7 cycles could be right around the corner! I love the excitement of reading them me but I've promised no more for a little while because they've gave me a window if I compare the days from anywhere between April-July🤞🏻❤️

kaylsd · 09/03/2021 07:04

@Slinks8113

So GP rang me back and said that the ovulation tests and temperature monitoring is not accurate so it's very unlikely I have an issue! I should stop testing and temping and just relax, try meditation and yoga and she's sure it'll happen....oh doctors are great aren't they 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ AF is definitely here, little cow! But onwards and upwards....maybe I should dig out my yoga pants and start humming! X
Get your sage out burning and cleanse your thoughts about OPKs and Temps 😂🙈 GPS seem to be like two types from what I've read on here about TTC either like a chocolate fireguard for help or the absolute flip side and help you out so much! Can't win with some of them, new cycle new start sweet 🌈🤞🏻❤️

I'm litterally the same, if anything I just lurke in the background giving my friends support sprinkling odd like here n there, otherwise I just watch food videos and dog videos on there 😂🙈

Urgh. How annoying. As if someone telling you to relax will make you relax and really is it not accurate at all? I beg to differ.......

[quote lucea87]@CycloGoose about £60-80 I think depending on where you book, there's lots of places local so us so expect there's lots local to you too. Lots of them do packages too so you can book a range of different scans as you go on like 4D etc which I quite liked. I'm the kinda person who is going to want to see her baby all the time 😂😂[/quote]
oh my days I mean bun in the oven not bum I repeat bun 😳 hahahha @lucea87

Sorry for the long paragraphs in advance ladies just catching up!

@Seraphim87 - sorry to hear that the witch came in for you, have a good bevvy and cheers to the next cycle and each cycle that comes is a new chance to catch that egg 🌈😘❤️

@Slinks8113 - how many days LP have you been running at lately chick? Is it a reoccurring thing that they have become so short for you? Let us know how you get on at the GP are you going to have the ovulation bloods to see if you ovulate? Sending hugs xxxx

@KatieLooLa- I wish I had a beach near by to walk on a daily basis, last time I was at the beach was the end of September I think it was Scarborough cause one side of it becomes dog friendly out of season, always partial to treating Mable to those dog friendly ice creams :’) I do think with that much fur you could potentially make a rug no doubt ;) has your pooch been around small children / babies before? Mable is absolutely fine around small children that have come round before I just wonder what she’s going to be like when there is eventually a small edition for us as she’s being considered the fur child for the last 2 years nearly :’)

@minthumbugs- I know what you mean about dodging the announcements I’ve actually got a habit of scrolling straight past or if I see them on the Facebook stories with either scans or bumps I tend to avoid clicking on it unless it’s people I actually like and not sour about their little bubba’s on the way 😂🙈

@CycloGoose- how’s been your first day back sweetheart! Was thinking about it today when I saw it all over Facebook with the back to school photos with the little ones, with you saying they’ve gone feral I take it you prob need abit of time out this evening to compose what you’ve just had to endure for the day 😂🙈 thank you for your kind words chick I don’t see it as anything than just doing my job hehe, I just wish sometimes there was more time in the day espesh for the ones who are appreciative of what you do! Don’t get me wrong there’s some not so nice people where you feel like you want to curse them but you’ve just got to wear a poker face, I can imagine you might be the same when a child is being awful and disruptive 😂🙈 or other terms being a little shit haha! I don’t think I have any bond with much of my inlaws to talk about TTC, my SIL is the main focus at the moment with her being due next month which kind of good for me as they don’t ask us much about it; the BIL can be quite insensitive like I’ve mentioned to you before I’m also like you, I’d rather talk to anyone and everyone but that bunch about it all 😂🙈 I’ll keep updating photos of her this week as a pick me up, aiming to walk her some nice places but I’ve just spent last 2 hour cleaning out our Hotub and put gazebo up with fairy lights ready for the week off, woop woop!

@lucea87 -that’s sounds a lovely idea, I love the thought of when I’m able to see family to be able to tell them good news that we have a bum in the oven, I don’t think I’ll want to post much across social media too because I’ll remember how I felt when I see others when I’m on the TTC and I never know how many of my friends may be on the same journey and finding things hard

However saying that! This is my idea, abit of a past story, me and my hubs first date over 7 years ago was on a snowy day day after Boxing Day and he decided that it was a good idea for us to go walking around the woods with a flask of coffee a blanket on our laps and a little picnic and we sat on this bench at top of the hill and just saw pure white snow everywhere, was actually quite romantic! Fast forward 6 and half years later, we went to the same woods on our wedding day (as we weren’t allowed a Receiption having it this year hopefully instead and we wanted still an intimate photo shoot and what better way to reflect back on our first date) I’ll attach one of the pics in the woods anyway my idea is that we will go back to the woods with hopefully Mable with a big sister bandana on her neck with my hub kissing my tummy as I have a little baby bump with me holding a scan photo :’) as it’s quite a significant place we hold fond memories here :’)
