Tww 🥳🌸 come join me 🙌

@emmatcc1 Hopefully it's not AF and early pregnancy cramping! I had really bad cramping with my son.

@Amy95 I love all the fluffiness together!! Haha so cute you went to the beach after work, sounds idyllic and your nips were into it too! 🤣

@Sealover123 Warm sock twins!

@LeopardLover I’m feeling overall fine but I have some pinching and I went to pick up something off the floor earlier and I good this sharp pain on the left side but the right one is also hurting occasionally. Af is due on Thursday but might come early tomorrow since my temps dropped very low today usually at this time they’re still on the higher end. How are you?

@LeopardLover I got warm fuzzy sockies on too!! 🥰

Haha yeah I meant you = warm/normal + pointy nips. Me = shivering + mush nips

What fun we women go through! Lol!! 😂😂

@Sealover123 @Amy95 Haha I'm also cold but obviously not that cold as my nips are just chilling 🤣 I'm wearing fluffy Christmas socks!

The opposite here. My nips feel mush but I AM absolutely freezing!! 😂

Wrapped up in a fleecy blanket with a warm lil cat near me.

@emmatcc1 How are you feeling? When is AF due? X

Metallic taste is a huge one!! Eeek! Are you resisting testing then? Part of me feels like testing early just for the excitement. 🤣 It's such a long wait!

Yes! And then we can decide on their names 😉 do you have any names in the bank? Names are impossible with my husband because we disagree.

Oh lordy, have you got your head around GA4? I keep hearing people complain about it! So I probably said she's starting this week.

@UKMummy2one Oh sorry 😔 maybe you just need FMU?xx

I can't believe your husband said a dress looked mumsy! Ded 🤣 that would be enough for me. Although, I wear Salt-Water sandals these days. I'm peak mum.

I love that you're into elaborate holidays! This was years ago and was a backpacking type thing. We did Australia, New Zealand and Fiji too! I miss big holidays. We always used to jet off for the weekend too. It's definitely possible to do that sorta thing with kids, if you have agreeable ones... We just got back from Portugal, Adolf wriggled out of his seat belt before landing and screamed and kicked... Wouldn't get back in. I had to just hold him in my lap (he was calm looking out the window) but geez.

Where are you thinking of going in September? I fancy going back to Portugal. Or maybe the balerics. Somewhere easy with the wild child! I also miss city breaks but they aren't so fun with a toddler. Fine with a baby who can't answer back 😅

Good luck for tomorrow! Hopefully the conditions are perfect 😍 what time of day is your scan? Xx

Managed to get the early detection from Boots but I can only see a wavy line here 😞 I waited 4 hr before testing.

I’ll do another tomorrow morning to make sure but not looking so positive now.

@GeoSmed yeah we were referred by the GP to fertility in April 2022 and have been under them since then. Just having to wait the time until NHS will give us funded IVF basically 🙄

Ahh please keep us updated with your scans! I'm so excited for you!! 🥳 it must feel like such a relief knowing you're ovulating after so many years without. X

@UKMummy2one thanks so much. I'll have a look into that. It's just so confusing and confirmation of what's happening with bloods would be so helpful!

Am going mad. Swear my body is starting to play tricks on me I have a weird metal taste in my mouth, which I googled, obviously and it said it could be a sign but also could be that I’ve injured myself somehow - probs the later. Normally a few days before my period I get quite tearful but atm I’m really happy. 3rd needs to come so I can get more of a sign and 6th can’t come soon enough!

Mmmm not sure. I don't know what you've had, but you said you already know that your husband is a little low on the morphility right? I don't think they will then. Why hasn't your GP referred you if the results show that? We had to kick and scream to get everything going - it relied on me ringing them constantly and checking on it and pushing and asking for them to actually start moving things along. And even then it's still taken a year and a half, and we've had to pay privately in the background as we weren't willing to wait any longer! They're shocking sometimes honestly.

Oh that's interesting. My friend is in the same situation where they've been referred straight for ICSI as he has low count, morphology and motility poor bloke 😞It's so hard on what to do. WE started self funding while our fertility stuff ticked along with the NHS and then it's come through now for our IVF but we've obviously been paying for the ovulation induction on the side ourselves. Hopefully we won't need the funded IVF, but we'll see.

I have a scan tomorrow which is a progress one. They do day 7, 9 and then either 11 or 12 depending on how close they need to monitor you. They have to check me more regularly due to the PCOS and the chances of me going over stimmed again like before. So I have a scan tomorrow which is a progress scan on from yesterday to see what's been going on since our scan yesterday. Then depending on the results of that, we will be in probably friday but it depends on what they see in the one tomorrow. I know!!! I can't even think of it as I get so giddy! It would be cool if we had 2 release, as we would have 2 chances of getting pregnant rather than 1 so in theory, more likely to happen!

Awww not at all you can't help that you feel like that despite your job! It's totally not being selfish at all! IT's mad how much I thought midwives knew about fertility treatment you just assume that everyone involved in a birth knows everything haha

Hey @UKMummy2one sorry I've missed your messages! Hey and welcome 😎How is your journey going? And on what you said above, have you heard of hertility?

Do you know what, if I actually got pregnant this round with twins, I would find where you live and come and kiss you!

Oh why did I think she was starting today? Have I made that up or did you mention something about today? F knows. I've had my head in Google Analytics and PPC advertising all day, my minds mush!

Literally haven't had chance to look at my emails for about 3 hours and the whole world has gone on on this thread in that time! 😂

@Amy95 & @dabs9 it is such a lot of pressure, and I totally feel them. Men have a pride thing, and i totally get it. It's almost seen as it's demasculating them and that they're not good enough etc. It's so sad, but I also can relate too. With the fertility being delayed due to me, I felt so guilty and I still do at times, that it's my fault and I even told him if he wanted to leave me and find someone not broken then i'd understand. It's ridiculous how we talk to ourselves isn't it?

@LeopardLover @Amy95 @dabs9 - nice has never been a complement ever!! I got the other side of it the other day, and showed him one of the dresses and got "it looks nice, but.... I dunno, the sleeves make it look a bit.... mumsy'' MUMSY!!!??? I ripped it off and sent it back within about 20 mins of that comment!

@LeopardLover your holiday sounds unbelievable! We're thinking of doing something similar this year, but it all depends. The past 4 years all our holidays have been a bit elaborate and different, and if we're pregnant come September (frickin better be!) then it rules out a lot of places. Where are you going this year? I'm dying for a holiday! I went away in Jan, but it was skiing and it wasn't exactly warm! haha xx

No but I did a private clinic one in February when I had a vf positive then nothing but all the symptoms. It cost me £80 and had the results in less than 24hr to confirm I was not pregnant.
