@Daniki literally 😂 I dread to think how much I've spent this last couple of years on fertility/trc stuff!

Oh I'm absolutely the same. Can you still use the term "I've just had a baby" as an excuse over 3 years later 😅.

@Marie1990x absolutely 🤣 crazy what you will pay for anything if you thought it help too! Aw I know, but if this pregnancy works out il have to do a serious overhaul after. Crazy how you can let yourself go so much after having a child and iv no excuse anymore my son is 4 in a few weeks lol

@Daniki we're a marketers dream aren't we! 😂

It's all stuff I eat anyway so not sure why I'm even focusing on it, guess it's just something to obsess over in the tww 😂.

Give over, now's the time you don't have to worry much about weight while you're growing a human!

@RRAEE 🤣🤣 nothing new really. The usual things come up like berries, pineapple, lean meats, oily fish, spinach, eggs, beetroot etc. So I'm making our shopping list to reflect all of these this week 😂

@RRAEE ahhhh I hope it doesn't come and it's a huge BFP for you! It's so frustrating not knowing when to expect AF! Hopefully it's for a good reason this time.

@Daniki still no peak for me! Tbf I've been out since lunch time at a brunch and just got home so me pee is very much 99% Prosecco at this point so not sure why I even bothered taking an opk and expecting a peak 🤣

RRAEE · 07/03/2025 17:08

Daniki · 07/03/2025 11:50
