Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

@MrsCristianoX I've had to fudge my dates a little as my actual LMP would put me at 4+5 but I know I ovulate a week later than average so that is not accurate at all.

MrsCristianoX · 19/11/2022 13:12

@TheBirdintheCave going by lmp I would be 3+2. I'm just sweaty and tired. I'll try and hold off till tomorrow x

TheBirdintheCave · 19/11/2022 12:59

@MrsCristianoX I feel ok. My current symptoms are sore boobs, random bouts of nausea and retching and night sweats. I thankfully don't get the exhaustion (or at least I didn't get it in my last two pregnancies).

Still only 3+5 though so very early days!

MrsCristianoX · 19/11/2022 12:37

@TheBirdintheCave how are you feeling? If I'm not pregnant these are the strangest tww symptoms ever. I feel like something is draining the life outta me 😭

TheBirdintheCave · 19/11/2022 08:13

@pangolin84 Thanks! :D

Good luck to you this month :) Definitely give the Ferti-lily a whirl. I'm now convinced it's what worked for us as we changed nothing else.

@pangolin84 wahooo! It won't be too late if you had your peak today! Get jiggy and let's get another BFP on here 🥰 xx
(The fertilily will be sold out before we know it 🤣)

Wow this thread is so uplifting at the moment! Congratulations @TheBirdintheCave - such amazing news and against all odds 🎉🥳🤩
Got my fingers and everything else crossed for you and @MrsCristianoX.
Got a peak OPK this morning (after high readings yesterday pm) so will attempt a tactical seduction tonight but fear that boat has sailed as I’ve just been experiencing some ovulation type pains. Now off to Amazon to check out the fertilily… you guys should be getting some sort of commission for all your referrals 😂😂😂

bunnykins123 · 18/11/2022 14:56

@MrsCristianoX noooo, clear blue are renowned for being the worst for early detection. Save yourself for the FRER but it sounds super promising if you've got 2 lines 🤞

@MrsCristianoX yeah I think testing Sunday at 12dpo is a great idea. However if you do decide to keep testing in between that's ok too 🥰. Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 13:51

@MrsCristianoX My 10dpo line yesterday was so so faint. If you have any line at all I wouldn't give up hope.

MrsCristianoX · 18/11/2022 13:31

@FfayeN yep xx thanks for making me feel better lovely I'll try again on Sunday...FRER on order x

@MrsCristianoX it doesn't need to be much of a line! Any line will do! Are you 10dpo now? Xx

MrsCristianoX · 18/11/2022 12:52

Well I just peed on a clear blue there and not much of a line🙄 I'll upload it in a bit. I dunno I'm still a bit apprehensive but I feel like shit

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 11:18

@FfayeN It was the first thing I did 😂 I'm a planner.

I still haven't worked out my due date 🙈. I can't bring myself to get set up for it quite yet xx

@TheBirdintheCave 🥰 x

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 10:26

@calimc83 31st of July :)

@FfayeN That's good to hear! I think we'll wait til six weeks before we call them up and cancel, just in case.

@theblueflowers Thank you :)

calimc83 · 18/11/2022 10:18

@TheBirdintheCave I bet! When would u be due? X

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 10:08

@calimc83 Not yet, it's all still really surreal. I still can't believe it's actually real. Hard to imagine a summer baby too as my son was born in the autumn.

calimc83 · 18/11/2022 09:53

@TheBirdintheCave 🎉🎉🎉 amazing news! Has it sunk in yet? @MrsCristianoX I was nauseous really early on just like you..eek! Will u test again today or leave it another day or so? @lovenaps hope u are ok. Men are clueless, my DH is mocking about with a 'cold' like a wet weekend! He reckons pregnancy is so easy as 'millions of women do it every day'....yeah all right 🙄 xx

theblueflowers · 18/11/2022 09:38

@TheBirdintheCave oh wow congratulations! After everything against you as well! Amazing news x

@TheBirdintheCave I got a refund from my fertility place when I fell pregnant. They were lovely about it actually so I'm sure you'll be fine getting your money back 😊 xx

@TheBirdintheCave yeeessss yes damn covid and the stupid googling. Anything is possible I always say that. Love the fertilily. I rly do think it helps just get that sperm in the right environment to get up there. Congrats hun.

@MrsCristianoX I deffo see it!!

@lovenaps ahh that’s a bit unfair. Maybe he’s overwhelmed like the others say. But fuck me your pregnant and it doesn’t necessarily get easy either. They have to help ALOT when baby is born as well. My DH did anyway. Not everyone gets a perfect labour and running around 4 days later. That was not me 😩

I had my consultant appointment other day and asked about mode of delivery. I’ve been wavering. Considering both options. But he said medically his recommendation is an elective section and looked a bit gone out at me when I mentioned vaginal delivery because I had lots of complications last time. So good for thought.

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 08:28

@MrsCristianoX Excited to see your test!

@lovenaps I'm sorry your husband is being an ass :( <3

TheBirdintheCave · 18/11/2022 08:24

Thanks everyone! I've just seen how awful those photos look as my bathroom light is so harsh and my hands were shaking 😂

I am just flabbergasted to be honest. I thought we had zero chance after Covid. I guess those studies really aren't damning after all 😅Seems the only way I can get pregnant is to threaten my body with IVF 🙄...And use the miracle that is the Ferti-lily.

Early days of course, not even out of chemical territory yet but I feel much more positive about this one than I did at the start of the MMC.

I wonder if we can get our money back for those tests that we rebooked for December :/
