Hello!

Continuation of our last threadโ€ฆ

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

@lakejupiter enjoy your walk and cheeseburger โœจโœจ

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 12:26

Got it @Pops100

I'm off out for a walk to clear my head (massive deadline next week and totally not focussed on it) and then a cheeseburger lunch for my silly 8dpo ritual but anyone else who wants to do a WhatsApp group send me your numbers via direct message and I'll set it up after work :)

Pops100 · 16/02/2022 12:22

@lakejupiter think I've done it correctly. X

Pops100 · 16/02/2022 12:18

@lakejupiter I'll send you my number just trying to figure out how to direct message you haha๐Ÿคฃ

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 12:16

I thought @Newbiemg was laying down the law about baths! I was like okay wow strong feelings but fair play! Now I see that it was actually about EPO lol, and it is @SMD16 who was having a relaxing bath with a furry guest. As you were!!

Pops100 · 16/02/2022 12:16

@lakejupiter yeah that sounds like a plan! That's okay hahaha

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 12:14

Haha oops sorry @Pops100 that was meant for @SMD16 - clearly haven't had enough coffee today!!

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 12:13

I'd be up for a Whatsapp. I can set one up if you'd all like. You can send me a direct message with your numbers. No pressure for anyone to join though, it's less anonymous but also less public

Pops100 · 16/02/2022 12:12

@lakejupiter not sure if you tagged wrong person but that wasn't my cute pupper๐Ÿค

I didn't know that about baths though and do like them occasionally so that's good to know x

Phew here was me thinking I'm not cool any more not knowing words ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚
I'd be up for a WhatsApp too if we were to do one, we'd just have to find a way to give each other numbers without this thread I guess? Or if we posted numbers then asked Mumsnet to delete the comment after?

FWIW I have carried on having baths @Pops100 - I can't really imagine my life without them! I do a lot of cold water swimming so warm up in a bath after. I just make sure it isn't as hot as I'd usually have it if I wasn't TTC.

Pops100 · 16/02/2022 12:05

@Newbiemg okay thank you! Will stop once it gets high as that's something I was worried about , not stopping at the correct time and screwing myself over!

@SMD16 it's crazy isn't it! I'm not on any other threads , I did post in the odd one when I first joined but kinda didn't really get a response back and deffo weren't as friendly or chatty! I'd be up for a WhatsApp too x

RMS0209 · 16/02/2022 12:03

@SMD16 I had to google discord didn't know what it was oopsie

RMS0209 · 16/02/2022 12:02

@Newbiemg how you feeling now? X

Ooh thank you! Still learning everyday, can't believe how many comments are on this thread now! Maybe we should just have a WhatsApp or Discord group lol

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 11:49

Catch up timeโ€ฆ busy bees today again Smile

@lakejupiter Loving the memes and fingers crossed for that dip and rise looking good! ๐Ÿคž

@SMD16 Have a good feeling for you this month โœจ

@RMS0209 congrats to OH on the new job! ๐Ÿ‘

@MrsYan enjoy those smileys while you can after a while you may want to throw them at the wall ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€ฆ good luck this cycle!

@Pops100 You need to stop before ovulation. Maybe stop at positive opk or just before itโ€™s due to be safe. It can encourage your uterus to contract which can cause issues with implantation or cause mc so important one to remember x

@SMD16 I hope the traffic is good for you, I'm originally from Torquay so when we go back home I dread the bridge at Bristol as it's always soooo busy.

@RMS0209 I'm only CD10 so got ages , well if it's anything like last month I've got about 5 days till ovulation. Yeah that's what happened to me last cycle too! I was so shocked when I actually seen it like oooh hello where have you come from ๐Ÿคฃ

I think I read I need to stop taking my EPO before ovulation though , need to look into that actually .

SMD16 · 16/02/2022 11:33

@MrsYan lots of cramping, felt sicky last night and not even thought about eating today yet! Hoping to hold out until Saturday at least and OH can do it with me then!

@RMS0209 funnily enough I thought of that as I started running it, I can't have it too hot anymore anyway luckily. Ah many congrats to your OH enjoy the celebrating! I don't have a clue how you are doing the healthy eating ๐Ÿ˜‚ after the bath I'll probably just have a marmite and Gouda sandwich, my go to at the moment! I'm the same with work haha, I feel it's only fair with the drive later that I have a steady day ๐Ÿ˜‚

lakejupiter · 16/02/2022 11:32

@MrsYan I am going to try and hold out until Tuesday (when FF predicts period is due) as I have therapy that afternoon so can process my feelings ๐Ÿ˜‚ on Tuesday I'll be 14dpo. I have a pelvic ultrasound on Thursday so will need to test before then if AF isnt yet here - the place doing the ultrasound isn't insured for pregnancy ultrasounds so ask people to test the day before if there's any chance they could be pregnant.

However, I have an FRER test in my suitcase (I'm away until Sunday) so who knows how long I will resist. Really trying to refrain this month though as I found it absolutely distracting and frustrating and heartbreaking to see the BFNs last month (and hold them up in various lights, take photos, shine torches on them, get them out of the bin to see if anything had changed, generally lots of undignified TWW behaviour).

RMS0209 · 16/02/2022 11:29

Can you guys tell I've lost all concentration/motivation for work today? oopsie.. quick replies!

@Pops100 what CD day are you again? I went from 0 to a peak smiley so don't let it fool you. I use FMU with CB but then try to hold for the cheapies, although this month was a free for all so!! Did you do cheapie too?

@SMD16 haha love it - dont have a bath too hot.. ofcourse one of the random wife tales i've read online, least the drive will keep you busy and you can relax tonight.. get a yummy tea! and a pudding I certainly hope.

I'm fine today actually, OH just been offered a new job woo hoo - so celebrating with a take away for tea,so to find something semi healthyish to have.
Got some bits in the shops stocked up on some more fruit and greens and blueberries got some more nuts and some yoghurts, this healthy eating better be worth it I tell you! x
