@kaylsd the gin was well deserved!

I can't believe how long those waiting lists were! Where in the UK are you?? Definitely work a drive to get seen quicker!!

kaylsd · 25/05/2021 16:36

Just a little update for you ladies! I received my letter in the post today for my e referral to the NHS infertility clinic :')

I've just booked in and they will ring me when my appointment is but if I don't hear anything by 10 days time I've got to ring them myself! The clinic options were 4 in the catchment area, my local trust has a waiting list of 52 weeks to start treatment so I've opted for another trust which is just 25 minutes away with a waiting list of 27 week to start treatment 🤓 luckily it was the only one out of the four which didn't have a huge waiting list! I was quite shocked when I read into them tbh 🙈🙈🙈

Absolutely over the moon for our graduates today with their BFPs something must have been in the water for this thread ;) I'm thinking @minthumbugs laid back approach may be proof it's beneficial! Sorry I've not had chance to catch up properly just been in a pub and treated myself to a rhubarb crumble gin and have been baby sitting my hubs best friends little girls, 2&5 year old, absolute cuties 💞💞

@CycloGoose im sorry to hear about your hubs hunny I hope he's okay soon, hopefully it's a quicky job in the hospital for him 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙈

@minthumbugs

I'm so sorry *@lucea87*. I'm sorry for putting my foot in it 😔 that's really tough but I'm so happy that your little one is growing well ❤️
Don't be silly, you weren't to know and we are ok with it now so don't you worry!

I'm so excited for you! I hope everything goes smoothly for you, exciting times ahead. Although I have to say I am not going to miss the first trimester at all!!!!xx

@minthumbugs congratulations! Now just the rest of us to go!

lucea87 · 25/05/2021 15:43

@minthumbugs

Thank you so much *@lucea87*! It's so nice when you pop back on, it's funny I was just asking about you the other day as I knew you had your scan coming up in may. So glad to hear it all went well, how have you been keeping? Can't be easy doing double the work 🤗
I'm doing great thank you, just had our 12 week scan last week & got my results back this afternoon to say all low risk which is a relief. Sadly just a single pregnancy now - one of the twins stopped growing at 6 weeks but my other bubba is growing beautifully & looking super healthy and we just have to be grateful for that xx

Oh my god @minthumbugs don't be silly! I'm really pleased for you! Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone else for your kind comments 😊

Kitty0389 · 25/05/2021 14:41

@minthumbugs OMG that's amazing!!! Congratulations :-D and @Purpleshoes123 as well. So many graduations this month
@CycloGoose hope hubby is ok!

Tangfastic91 · 25/05/2021 14:40

@minthumbugs oh my! Congratulations, so happy for you :)

Rinylou · 25/05/2021 14:36

I'm such a fiend. I just got out my non FRER and obviously it's a BFN! (I can't crack with my one Clearblue because I'm not meant to be testing without my husband there too and he knows about that one 😂)

I'm getting slight line eyes with the negative image but only because I've started so hard at the damn thing 😭

I had the strongest line like 5 days before my period was due with my son. So frustrating! But I'm doing it to my damn self 😂

Oh no @CycloGoose, I hope it's not too serious??

minthumbugs · 25/05/2021 14:20

Thank you @CycloGoose 😭 you were totally right with the lines on the second one even when I couldn't see it! This is the earliest I've ever had a BFP - last period was 5 weeks ago today and I think I ovulated 2 weeks ago today so perhaps am just right on the border of 1-2 and 2-3 🤞🏻 my little squirrel!! 🤣

Oh no is your hubby ok? What happened?! Hope everything is alright! ❤️

CycloGoose · 25/05/2021 14:17

Yesssssssssss @minthumbugs I knew it! (I just didn't want to give false hope in case I was wrong). Definitely saw lines. I'm so so so so so thrilled 😍❤️😍❤️😍🐿️ Also 1-2 is perfect. 1-2 weeks from conception not 1-2 weeks pregnant. Your GP will probably put you at 5-6 based on last AF but when you get dating, they might change it to reflect later ov.

Congratulations to @Purpleshoes123 too I knew that positive opk was good news.

Totally overjoyed for you both.

I'll try to respond to others too. Just having a 5 min lunch break but probably here until gone 9pm again tonight and hubby is in hospital having smashed his head open 😩

minthumbugs · 25/05/2021 14:16

I know @Rinylou I was going to wait until tomorrow morning since yesterday was negative but after Purpleshoes' news this morning I thought oh well the worst that happens is its negative and I have no more tests for tomorrow 🤷‍♀️ the devil on your shoulder is saying do it 😉 but the angel is saying wait for FMU!

Rinylou · 25/05/2021 14:14

@minthumbugs OMG congrats!! So much good news suddenly, its so heartening!!

Making it super hard for me to hold off testing again though 😂

minthumbugs · 25/05/2021 14:09

@CycloGoose @kaylsd @KatieLooLa and to everyone else of course...

I didn't know whether or not to post this today... I got my BFP this morning!!!! ❤️ From yesterday's BFN, I now have 1-2 weeks on a CB digi. Not sure if it should be more. It doesn't feel real and I'm so anxious!

@purpleshoes123 I hope you don't feel I'm trying to take the shine off your news, I'm so happy to be joining you! 🥰

@Purpleshoes123 CONGRATULATIONS!! I was wondering if you'd tested today and now my toddler is distracted by a snack bowl and film I thought I'd log on and check. Wonderful news!! ❤❤❤

I've successfully not tested today yet... Still symptom spotting though. Randomly got EWCM again which is new?? And last night while having a bit of a BD (for pleasure not duty at 12dpo Grin) I had to try about 4 different positions because my cervix was super uncomfortable and tender (not to disparage my husband, but not a usual problem).

Still trying to hold out until Thursday when AF is due before I use that last test. That will be 15dpo and I would have usually spotted and cramped all the day before. So weird feeling so positive and negative about my chances this cycle all at the same time.

Anyone got any insight on the recurrence of the EWCM? I've been creamy for a while (yellow tinged at times) but definitely EW and stretchy all day today. So much so I did an opk just to check I wasn't ovulating but a definite negative! Hmm

Aries491 · 25/05/2021 10:46

@Purpleshoes123 congrats so nice to see a BFP! Let's hope the first of many on this thread for us :)

It is such a personal subject TTC and agree unless approached by that person then I wouldn't ask. I haven't told anyone of our plans as don't want any unnecessary pressure from either side of families or friends for that matter. Glad I found this site so can offload some chat though:-)

Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday! Still working from home for me which can be lonely and unless super busy I do a lot of my over thinking haha 😄

Iloveoreos · 25/05/2021 10:14

@Veronika13 @minthumbugs agree. I mean its something so personal that until someone opens up about it its not something that should be asked for these reasons
1- they probably arent trying
2- they are and waiting
3-they are bur having fertility issues and getting pressurised.
If only ppl learn to mind their business

minthumbugs · 25/05/2021 09:34

Yes totally @Veronika13, it's such a heated and emotive topic! Just after my second MC people were saying 'oh you can just try again' and I was absolutely distraught because OH wasn't sure if he was on board yet. Something so innocuous can really hurt. No idea what's going on behind closed doors so the best shout is to wait for people to bring it up with you! X

@KatieLooLa sorry I missed the pics, what a good job! That sounds like such a fun night 😁

KatieLooLa · 25/05/2021 09:19

@CycloGoose @kaylsd
It was a proper giggle, did the first lot of makeup after the first couple drinks, our other gay friend came shortly after with more alcohol. Watched Eurovision fails on YouTube, had cocktails.
OH walked in while I’m doing the 2nd lot of makeup, just looks at him and says “Oh, hello Chloe” and then joined in with the drinking.
Will definitely have to do that again 😂
