@bringmearainbow nasty 🤢 good job you caught it. It can spread so quickly. The antibiotics for that are the worst I've ever tasted. (I don't randomly walk around tasting antibiotics btw my son had it too 😂) had to go back and get a different version he just spat it out at me

MrsJGrealish · 28/03/2023 12:30

@bringmearainbow looking good lovely!
You made me laugh there..it was nice 😊

Have to say I did the same with my DH, pounce before bed and then didn't get the 'no oh I'm too tired/exhausted by bath/might have had a wine or two' and he was always game 😅

bringmearainbow · 28/03/2023 12:22

Oh and DS woke up with what looked like the start of a cold sore 🤷🏼‍♀️ took him to the pharmacy and he said oh that looks like impetigo 😩 doctor confirmed so we're at home and it's tantrum central atm 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm going to need a candle bath later 😂

bringmearainbow · 28/03/2023 12:18

@MrsJGrealish she will understand if you do but would be good for you to get some tests done. Lol got plenty of tricks 🤣😏 he cockily said to me the other day he could go every day if I wanted 🤣 sure darling

I've just done a opk and it's not high but it is for my low reading if that makes any sense. Looks like it's starting to rise which might mean peak tomorrow 🤞🏼 usually once it's gone up a bit peak is next day

I haven't. But I will now. Feel like that's the start of some kind of plan. I'm really tired like all the time so she can at least run blood work. My fear is looking at her and the pictures of her rainbow babies on her desk and bursting into tears. She is really good though.

@TheBirdintheCave @bringmearainbow thanks girls ❤️

@bringmearainbow good luck! I know you've many a position up your sleeve if needs must 🤣😘

TheBirdintheCave · 28/03/2023 09:48

@MrsJGrealish Big hugs xx

bringmearainbow · 28/03/2023 08:59

@MrsJGrealish ahhh lovely huge hugs ❤️ it's to be expected try not to be too hard on yourself have you spoke to the gp at all?

It's getting there CD16 so a few more days to go got the right CM so that's a good start 😂 opks still low I'm not expecting to see anything until Friday on that front though

MrsJGrealish · 28/03/2023 07:57

Pretty sure my body is gearing up to ov early this month. When you've been trying for a year you get to know the signs. But I have no plan! I've been slumping around the place mildly depressed with no thought of another cycle..

@bringmearainbow how's your cycle going? Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 27/03/2023 15:31

@bringmearainbow @curliegirlie Cos Strep A delayed things I have one more natural go before IVF starts at the beginning of the next cycle. So we could get a repeat of our miracle with our son BUT I'd likely just lose it again like the others.

Just been into London for my pre-IVF bloods. They've tested for blood clotting disorders today too so I'll find out if that's an issue or not soon I hope? I forgot to ask when 🤦🏻‍♀️

Next is a video call with a nurse on Friday to discuss how to do injections etc and then nothing until a baseline scan on the 17th.

curliegirlie · 27/03/2023 11:46

@TheBirdintheCave ahh I was so hopeful for you! I didn't see anything on your tests, but our DD1 was conceived just after we had our first appointment with the fertility consultant and DD2 was conceived the cycle I'd been referred to to Day 21 bloods, so sometimes things fall into place last minute....

bringmearainbow · 27/03/2023 10:20

@TheBirdintheCave ahhhh I'm sorry she arrived but bask in the smugness stupid FF 😂 what's the next step now with ivf?

TheBirdintheCave · 27/03/2023 10:18

@bringmearainbow It arrived last night around 9pm 😂 I feel a big smug that I was right in terms of O date and FF was wrong 😅

bringmearainbow · 27/03/2023 09:59

@TheBirdintheCave how you getting on lovely? Any update on AF?

bringmearainbow · 26/03/2023 21:23

@AlbaGracie ahhhh cycle twins I'm CD14 today too that was me last cycle DH went away and I was hoping for ovulation on the earlier end but it did not happen 🙄

AlbaGracie · 26/03/2023 21:06

@bribringmearainbow I feel your pain! I'm currently CD 14 and waiting for ovulation but can be anywhere between day 18 and 22 🙈 DP is away midweek so for once hoping it's closer to CD22 for once😂

bringmearainbow · 26/03/2023 20:16

@MrsJGrealish thanks lovely DH keeps telling me he's soo busy with end of month I told him he is absolutely not allowed to tell me no and hes too tired this week 😂 tbf I think I might be sneaky and grab him as soon as ds is in bed then he won't be too tired or he has to be up early blah blah 😂

@Alexis7890 well last two cycles were CD21 then CD20 but I have O in the region of 16/17/18 all the way up to CD23 before 🙄 so I'm guessing since last 2 were around 20 I'm going for Saturday which is CD20 but honestly it could be any bloody time in the next week crazy body 🤦🏼‍♀️

@FfoxRedN so blooming hard isn't it but you're right just try and ignore and get to the milestones ❤️ you got this 💪🏼

FfoxRedN · 26/03/2023 20:04

@bringmearainbow No nothing really, all I have now is like a little pulling and pressure in and around there. It feels worrying to have anything, but I'd be worried if I had nothing! Just doing my best to talk myself down and ignore 🙈 xx

Alexis7890 · 26/03/2023 19:58

@TheBirdintheCave sorry AF is arriving, that sucks for you

@bringmearainbow have a fun week!! Do you know what day O will be?

@FfoxRedN ooh thats a great reading!! So exciting and sounds som positive and would all line up perfectly for you!

MrsJGrealish · 26/03/2023 19:39

@FfoxRedN that's such a good reading. Really hope all stays well ❤️

@bringmearainbow good luck with fertile week..you know you've got this!

@TheBirdintheCave sorry AF appeared. It's bloody shit. But at least she didn't keep you waiting

bringmearainbow · 26/03/2023 19:32

@FfoxRedN ooooh I remember you saying about booking it that's so exciting I'm sending so many positive vibes your way ❤️ I'm def a believer in all things mystic 🔮 how you been anymore queasiness?

FfoxRedN · 26/03/2023 19:14

@bringmearainbow you go girl 💪🏼.
So I don't know if any of you remember me booking it but I had my psychic reading today.
In relation to fertility (I didn't tell her my current status, and she picked up that we wanted a baby without me saying) she said I already had two in the spirit world. She then said May was an important month and she could see a celebration, and originally said that would tie in with December being important too (although we then said May-Dec wouldn't work out, however my current due date will be Dec some time). She also said a girl would be first, same as the lady years ago. A few other bits with tarot cards that made sense too.
God I hope it works out that all that means this one is ok 🙏🏼. May would be a 12 week scan and when we would tell family. Come on little one 🤞🏼 xx

bringmearainbow · 26/03/2023 18:59

@TheBirdintheCave sorry she's on her way 😩

@Alexis7890 ahhh that's crappy lovely hopefully one of those earlier swimmers will catch got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

I'm heading into fertile week I just hope we can get enough shots in 🤞🏼 I think the chances of us getting 3 days in a row will be slim but will do what we can. CM has started to turn EW today

FfoxRedN · 26/03/2023 10:53

@Alexis7890 I'm sorry it didn't work out 😔.

@TheBirdintheCave Oh lovely I'm so sorry, it's awful and shouldn't have to be this hard. If this doesn't work out for me we will be following you both down the IVF route xxx

TheBirdintheCave · 25/03/2023 23:29

*its 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 25/03/2023 23:28

I'm out. I've got blood tinged CM now so that will be AF on it's way tomorrow or Monday. On to the final cycle before IVF where we'll discover if Bird gets to part with £1k or £5k 🙄😂
