@Daniki awww bless him!! It'll all be new to him, will get used to it soon 😊. Brave boy!

Yeah understanding! But at least you have the scans and no spotting. Positively thoughts 💫.

Haha I can't not take them though, I'm too much of a control freak and like to know when I'm due on, as I always come on exactly 2 weeks after a peak. It's weird because I'm having symptoms of imminent ovulation (sore boobs, cm etc), but still very much negative OPK's. Ah well let's see

@Marie1990x I think it's around 22nd October? Iv tried not to look too much into it, incase I jinx myself 🤣 also try and talk my self out of superstisions all day long 🤣
Oh maybe it is, how annoying!! Throw the sticks away and go at it every 2nd day and hope for the best 🤣 yea exactly be glad of it but iv had many a positive scan turn out badly so don't hold much faith in it either.
He was grand thank god! Took ages for them to take him to theatre which was bad form I thought as he had been fasting since the evening before, but he was very good bless him! Everything is very loud for him today 🙈🥹

@Daniki nope nothing new this month, only thing is I upped the coq-10 amount (still the same brand and everything just taking more), but apparently that shouldn't alter your cycles according to google. It will likely just be my PCOS playing up.
Oh bless him, was your son okay getting them fitted?
So nice you have another scan coming up too, but you'll never stop worrying until baby is here 😂. When are you due by the wayyyy? Eek

@Marie1990x I hate when that happens, have you started any new supplements this month? All good with me, have a scan this Thursday so trying to keep expectations low and hope got the best. But been feeling fine and have no more spotting since the incident last week thankfully. We were in the hosp all day yest as my son was getting grommets, I am just bollaxed now today!!

@Daniki hahaha that made me laugh about the rattling! How are you?

@RRAEE how are you getting on in your tww?

This weekend has been mental so apologies for the quiet.

I think I'm having a long cycle this month. My OPK's would usually be quite dark by now but they're still very much low. So frustrating

RRAEE · 01/03/2025 11:39

Daniki · 01/03/2025 11:36

@RRAEE @Marie1990x yes, it's the worst! Started my Clexane injections today aswell so hope that helps. I'll be rattling now with all my meds 😹

RRAEE · 01/03/2025 10:30

@Marie1990x like 3 days 😂 i think, i'm not worrying about days and numbers anymore as i dont have the time to. But hoping this one will be the one

@Daniki anxiety sucks 💕

@RRAEE aghhh the delightful TWW! How far into it are you?

I'm good thank you. Due to ovulate later this week and says my fertile period starts today. OPK's arrive today so will start the obsession soon 😂. I've been good and not bought any HCG tests though....yet 😅

@Daniki I have faith in this little bean 🥰. Amazing you got to see the heartbeat and everything, makes it so much more real. Keep us updated throughout though please 😊.

@RRAEE how are you getting on?

@Daniki amazing amazing news! So happy for you. Bet you're super relieved 😊. When's your next one?

I went out today to stock up on vitamins, how on earth is a months supply of coq-10 £50, scandalous 😅

OP posts:
Daniki · 28/02/2025 11:42

@Marie1990x had my scan and thankfully all good. Measuring right on track and heartbeat seen 🥹 so please god this one is successful 🤞🏻🙏

Daniki · 27/02/2025 21:56

@RRAEE I like to think it doesn't have a massive impact when you see people getting pregnant in like war torn countries and all but could be wishful thinking! So hard to manage it 🙈 ah yes the dreaded TWW that feels like two years, horrible 🤣🙏

RRAEE · 27/02/2025 21:06

@Daniki we are still persevering with it but had a lot of stress from work so hoping that doesn't affect anything. But good thank you ☺️ but these two weeks are going to drag, like always 😅.

Just been catching up on the thread. I really hope everyone gets the outcomes they want. 💕

Daniki · 27/02/2025 20:56

@RRAEE thank you! How ya getting on? Hoping for a lucky one 🙏🙏

RRAEE · 27/02/2025 20:49

@Daniki hope your scan goes well 🙂🤞🏻

Im back in the TWW again

Daniki · 27/02/2025 19:22

@Marie1990x you honestly don't notice them! And it's not usually loads either which is good. Defo try reflexology aswell, just for the relaxing benefits alone! I'm 6+2 tomorrow, I added an extra progesterone pessaries earlier and haven't had any since so hoping it's just low progesterone maybe 🙈

Marie1990x · 27/02/2025 16:29

@Daniki hopefully it's nothing to worry about and the scan tomorrow puts your mind at rest 😊. How far along are you now? Definitely positive about the 3+ though!

I'm terrified of needles so I don't know how relaxing it would be 😅. I could cope with them in some places but when I've looked at needle placement for PCOS/fertility there seems to be a commonality of it in the head which sends shivers down my spine at the thought 🤣
