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 😘😘😘

@bunnykins123

A random one ladies - what was the frequency of dtd when you got your bfps? I know everyone is different but I'm really interested to know!

I'd love to know this too!

Which days pre ovulation (or day of, or day after!) people DTD before their BFP would be especially interesting.

MrsCristianoX · 30/11/2022 20:07

@FfayeN aww no hun but good on your body for recognising it. Hope you feel better soon 😘

I dunno. I think he thinks he is. And I'm just wearing massive fleecy jammies and ugg boots..so sexy 😅

bunnykins123 · 30/11/2022 20:06

@FfayeN 4 x is amazing! I've done well if I can get 3 out of him 😂 oh no, I'm so sorry that you e had cramps etc. Are you feeling a bit better now?

bunnykins123 · 30/11/2022 20:05

@pangolin84 you know if you see any female doing the boobie grope in public that they are pregnant! Ooo yes send piccies!

@mummatara oh bless you, sounds rotten. Hope he gets well soon!

@TheBirdintheCave what names have you chosen?! I love hearing other parents choices!

@MrsCristianoX ahh good luck! Are you using OPKs? I had some EWCM today (cd9 which is early 😒 plus we are all sick so that's bloody terrible timing!) like you, I'm so not up for it this cycle.

@MrsCristianoX Could you save it for closer to your peak. I'd say I struggle (and to be fair so does DH) to do it more than 4 times over our fertile week. It's hard to keep enthusiastic month after month 😬 xx

@MrsCristianoX I must have been talking telepathically to you 🤣🤣🤣

@pangolin84 there's no stopping the boob gropes, it must be what it's like to be a bloke...an uncontrollable urge to touch the boob 🤣. Would love to see that line!

@mummatara bless you! At least tomorrow will be a little easier on you 🥰.

@MrsCristianoX is Mr CristianoX getting lucky this evening?

Things have taken a step back here, thought it was all going too well and was planning on going back to work tomorrow. They obviously missed some products so had the worst cramps last night and follow up of those today. In a way though glad my body is assisting it along. Fingers crossed that's it and I can now start to get back to normal🤞🏼 xx

@mummatara oh no..was DS sick or just unsettled?

@pangolin84 defo pic please!!

I said to DH this morning we need to have sex soon and he's like why 🙄 Give me strength this cycle. Tbh I couldn't be bothered either

mummatara · 30/11/2022 19:06

Well I had a night from hell last night and it doesn't help I feel super rotten myself atm 🤦🏼‍♀️ ds seems a lot better today thank god and he's going back to the childminders tomorrow 🙊

Oooh @pangolin84 it's so hard not to test when it's all you can think about 😘 have you got a pic for us ❤️

pangolin84 · 30/11/2022 18:51

Well true to the name of the group I couldn’t help myself and tested again today 🙈
The line is still there and maybe even looks a little darker 🎉😂
It’s so hard to concentrate on anything! Just on hyper-alert for symptoms. Having to actively stop myself prodding my boobs…

TheBirdintheCave · 30/11/2022 18:03

@Indianna2006 Yay for baby kicks! Have you thought of a name for her yet? Ours are chosen so I have to live vicariously through other people's name lists 😂

bunnykins123 · 30/11/2022 08:54

@MrsCristianoX you're not alone - we all have either noravirus or food poisoning so can't see us having any luck this cycle either. I swear we have the worst luck! DH has also been drinking so much alcohol this holiday, I feel awful telling him to slow down but seriously 😒

MrsCristianoX · 30/11/2022 08:17

@FfayeN no he's not away with work. I don't know I've a bad feeling about this cycle and we haven't even started yet..

FfayeN · 30/11/2022 07:56

@MrsCristianoX this may make it easier and less pressured, or is he away with work? Takes the pressure off the TWW though, hopefully it'll kill some time to have a little break away xx

@Indianna2006 I think so: but when I say naturally I mean hopefully with a treatment plan from my biopsy. It's hard to know when we don't yet have a reason for this latest one, just working on a guess it's either another chromosome issue or something that'll hopefully show up on the biopsy 🙏🏼. If all have been chromosomal then odds wise we must get a good one soon surely 😭 xxx

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 22:07

@Indianna2006 thank youuu!!! Gonna have to pin him down soon 🤣

Aww love little baby kicks💕 until they kick you in the groin 😅

Indianna2006 · 29/11/2022 21:54

Look forward to seeing these further test updates!!

I feel a bit deprived of pissing on sticks, how daft is that 🤣🤣 BFN are like a kick in tbe teeth. But the Russian roulette of am I aren’t i is a bit of a mini thrill. For 0.5 seconds until you throw your toys out the pram when it’s bloody negative again 🙈🙈

good luck for FW in few days @MrsCristianoX 😘

@FfayeN hopefully your hcg resumes fastest and a new cycle resumes and no faffing around. Did I see your gonna try again once more naturally and hope for best? 🤞🏼

Not much to update here. Feeling baby girl move about quite a bit now. 20 week Anomaly scan is on Monday. Will be glad to get that done and then perhaps. Ever so slightly perhaps. I am starting to relax. A little.

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 21:53

@FfayeN 🤣🤣 dickhead me bought at least 50 last month for £4🙄

So raging I booked a weekend away next week with DH to keep 'the magic alive' over fertile period. Or some other crap to get him alone. Miscounted - fertile time is this weekend 😩 and he's working.

@TheBirdintheCave I have every faith it will!!

@pangolin84 I hear ya!!! I am the same now. It's sad but it's our coping mechanism and totally normal. 😂😂😂 only internet cheapies in stock...what a cracking phrase. Maybe the next thread will be: POAS addicts: The internet cheapies series 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks everyone 😊 Funny how every time I’ve got a line I’ve been progressively less excited - this time my brain was just “oh there’s a line” but no emotion at all…. Could have been happening to somebody else. This is my 5th pregnancy and really hoping it gives us baby no. 2.
@mummatara believe it or not I don’t have any FRERs in stock 😂 only a CB digital weeks indicator and won’t be using that until AF is due on Saturday. Might just do another cheapy on Thursday to see if it gets any darker. I wasted so much money on FRERs with my chemical last time 🙈

TheBirdintheCave · 29/11/2022 20:50

@FfayeN It had better say 3+ or I'm sure I'm going to get myself in a flap 😂

@mummatara My son also didn't nap today and was a little terror this evening 🙄 I dread the days the childminder takes him to the farm.

...

I saw a scan pic of my baby niece or nephew today :D Very pleased for my SIL and brother as they had a MMC in April too. She's nearly 14 weeks now and due in June. It will be brilliant to have someone to share maternity leave with this time 😬

@MrsCristianoX hahaha I love that your day was DIY, I took the doggo on a mammoth walk and it did my mind wonders! CD8 you can afford to chill this eve in preparation for the next week or so! Even though we won't be trying this month I cannot wait to be back into some kind of cycle! I'm rooting for you in the meantime 🤣.

@mummatara you've done well to keep it all very easy and lighthearted, even without me saying my DH can spot the important sessions a bloody mile off, it's a nightmare!

We don't have a towel here, I'm quite lucky I guess that he goes straight to 'wash up' and I get to 'linger with the fertilily' and then it's my turn lol. I wash enough bloomin towels without adding more to the mix 🤣.

@TheBirdintheCave aw I'm so happy all is going well with you hun. Excited to see what the digi shows in a few days 🥰 xx

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 19:09

@mummatara haha the towel 😂😂 that's the method here too. Really fancy! A flannels advent calendar full of beauty stuff❤️ I almost feel bad I ordered a secret bag earlier 😂

Good luck with DS tonight xx
