@CatiaR oooh glad you have the date through! Bet you can't wait! Did you book your flights yet? 😅

@etaketak1991 ah amazing! I got a few bits on vinted so they'll be waiting for me when we get home! 😍 So exciting about your scan! Not long at all to wait!

@EK37 that sounds like a really good plan! Hopefully it helps 🤞 all the best for this fertile window!

I'm good, thanks for asking 😁 I'm 17+4 now and time just seems like it's starting to fly by! 💕 Definitely bumping now 😁 been celebrating my 30th this week so it's been a lovely start to the year 💕 lots of stuff to start sorting out when we get home 😅

EK37 · 13/01/2024 14:10

@Hotmalibu94 I am all good thank you! Period has stopped now so not long until ovulation 🤞 I have taken up doing some yoga and Pilates the last few days to keep my mind calm and be as stress free as possible so hopefully this helps! Hope you are all well!

etaketak1991 · 13/01/2024 13:30

@Hotmalibu94 So far, so good, thank you! I managed to get a few bits of discounted maternity clothes at the end of sale reduction from Seraphine- including a baby wearing coat I was desperate for last time!- so I'm happy. Otherwise, twiddling thumbs until the 12 week scan haha. 11 days to go! How're you doing? ☺️

@CatiaR Ah great news you got a date through! Hope the time passes quickly ❤️

How is everyone doing?

EK37 · 10/01/2024 20:46

@etaketak1991 i know - it can be a really lonely place to be!

etaketak1991 · 10/01/2024 19:34

@CatiaR Ah lovely! I'm having the glucose test done too as my dad also developed diabetes later on in life. I didn't have it last time as they didn't want me in the hospital during COVID 🙃 I hope you get your scan date through soon!

@EK37 It took us 6 cycles this time! It was pretty stressful, there's so much taboo around discussing TTC and early pregnancy.

EK37 · 10/01/2024 19:15

Thank you all! I am now feeling a bit more positive now I have got over period arriving 😂 i wish people spoke more about how stressful and hard TTC can be for some, all I ever seem to see is people who took one month and unfortunately that’s not the norm for most people but it really has made me feel worse! So it’s nice to be in a place with people who understand 😊
@CatiaR that’s really exciting! 2-3 weeks will fly by!!

@EK37 sorry to hear AF has arrived it sucks. Hopefully cycle 5 is the one, took us 5 as well!

finally had my booking appointment today which was at my home which was cool all good and dating scan date should come through in the 2 next two weeks at most but again I’m 12 weeks in 3 weeks so I’m sure will come around soon!

having my dad with diabetes developed in later life I’ll be doing the glucose test but other than that all normal. Gonna also have my flu jab Friday and probably covid booster next week

hope everyone else is doing well in this freezing weather!

@EK37 ah im so sorry to hear AF arrived. It’s really gutting when it does, fingers crossed for next cycle for you.

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 19:56

Mmm think this is cycle 4 - this was the first month we managed to Dtd on the most vital days . I don't feel anything so think will be cycle 5

EK37 · 09/01/2024 18:59

@NLmum4 yeah I can’t see anything on the photo but that’s not to say it’s not there! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 what month is it for you if you don’t mind me asking

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 17:51

Maybe a dodgy batch of tests

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 17:51

I see a shadow in real life but nothing on the photo - there is a good ppossibility I'm going mad. It's like the movie a beautiful mind - he sees things in his imagination that no one else can 🫣😳😜

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 17:23

Can't see on photo - I'll try again later and see if anything 🫣

EK37 · 09/01/2024 15:50

@NLmum4 the line eyes are the worst! Have you got a pic?

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 15:29

12dpo and stark white tests and still hopeful 🫣 that say hope dies last (I have seen shadows today but I think it's 50/50 that they are actually there or I'm just going mad)

etaketak1991 · 09/01/2024 07:12

@EK37 Oh no, I'm sorry! Good luck for this cycle 🤞

NLmum4 · 09/01/2024 07:00

Thank you everyone for replying to my question.
@Hollie18 exciting about boy
@EK37 oh poo. Sending hugs

Myna13 · 08/01/2024 20:58

@EK37 oh no! Sorry to hear that :(
Sending love

Hotmalibu94 · 08/01/2024 20:42

@EK37 so sorry to hear that. We'll all be with you for the next one 🙌

EK37 · 08/01/2024 20:40

AF has arrived 😭 tears have been shed, I am so frustrated we really thought this was our month 💔 onto month 5 I come. Thanks for all your support though ladies!

Ncl31 · 08/01/2024 18:52

@EK37 keeping my fingers crossed it continues to get darker and AF doesn’t arrive

Myna13 · 08/01/2024 17:22

@EK37 af isn't here yet and some people don't get darker lines until like 16dpo. Pls don't be disappointed just yet. Keeping my fingers crossed it isn't a chemical for you 🤞🏽
