Let's get Pregvember off with a bang! November BFP bus (thread 2)

[Aprilray]

Time for some fireworks!!

Thanks ladies, you're all lovely.
I'm off to catch a train soon. Staying over at a friends and traveling back tomorrow so really hope AF holds off until Monday. Think I will allow myself a glass or 2 of this evening.

Hope you all have lovely weekends

Morning ladies. Sorry about the BFN April

Loving the chart Frolic

Sorry ov is proving to be elusive Spinning - hope you get a positive opk very soon.

Got baby bombed last night by my best friend over dinner. I am utterly delighted for her, but the news was also tinged with sadness as her baby is due a day after the EDD for my ectopic. The news also means that DH and I are the only couple within my close group of friends who don't have kids/ aren't expecting. I've already noticed that we haven't been invited to gatherings involving our friends with children and I can only imagine this getting worse. Feel like a complete failure. It's as though everyone else has been granted access to this exclusive members only club, and DH and I have made it as far as the cloakroom twice before being denied entry.

Sorry for the me me me post. I'm going to try and be more positive - I promise.

Ladies! Put the sticks down, hands in the air and step away from the bathroom! Don't leave me to POAS all by myself on Friday!

I don't think I've got any particularly convincing symptoms so far, although I was in bed really early last night and I'm usually a night owl. I suspect it was because of a busy week though!

Cariad

Morning ladies just catching up on the last few days.
Sorry for all the bfn's but hopefully they're too early. Your never out until af arrives! And sorry for those that af has caught. Roll on the next cycle

I'm packing for my sunny hols tomorrow - conceive plus and opk's are already in the suitcase! Lots of dtd next week for sure.

Cariad do your friends know about the ectopic and TTC? They might not realise that you are upset if you haven't talked about it with them.

You're not a failure. It's just one of those things. You will get your family one day through whatever route and I'm sure it will be worth waiting for.

Morning Ladies,

Work on Saturday sucks its always quiet and boring lol

Frolic Interesting to hear how much difference there is from external cm to internal cm.

Stow Pregnacare made me 7 days late never taking that again!

Terrys your going to be knackered lol

Spinning I to think that the soy might not be for you I have heard that if you have a regular cycle its can mess it up

Knitted Sorry about AF!

MrsE How are you getting on?

Orange Sorry to hear about your friend

Sorry for the BFNs they were a little early though!

Cariad I know the feeling ive lost a lot of 'friends' because we havent got kids yet its just not fair! Its the main reason I havent told everyone were ttc (I only told my mum after we had been to first appointment with gyane doc) I just feel like a failure. I know its very hard but you have to try not let it consume you, depression is something ive been fighting a lot recently but it will not help while ttc. Ive been trying to take some time for myself recently and enjoy myself a bit.

Think Af is finally buggering off its been so easy this month only had one heavy day hopefully they stay that way or I get a BFP lol

Oh Cariad never apologise for a me me me post - this is the place to vent.
Sorry to hear your sad news. It always seems the way that we're the ones missing from the club. Chin up and I hope things improve x

ps Cariad feel free to message me if you need a chat :)

Big massive hugs cariad xxx

Proof - most of my friends know about the ectopic, my cp earlier in the year and by default, the fact that we're ttc, and they're conscious that being in the middle of a baby boom is difficult for us. They're sympathetic but sadly nothing they say or do will stop us being "that couple", and I can't help but feel that we're being left behind.

Urgh got drenched walking to the beauty salon! Sat in the waiting bit with stiff jeans! Not going to be a relaxing treatment led there shivering! Plus side of not having a child yet, I can still afford to pamper myself. I know things are tough cariad, we've been ttc for 2 years, watching friends have babies, who are now toddlers! Give yourself treats and spend time with your dp and have lie ins x our time will come and when it does it will be even more special.

Cariad

spinning, my chart only looks good now I am blatantly ignoring the massive spike I had on day 10 or whenever. You have a dip going on ATM - I reckon you might ov in the next few days. A big, strong soy bean egg! Do some visualisation involving a huge, stong, fertile egg popping nicely out of it's folicle. Try to stop stressing and tempt the egg out with lovely, positive thoughts! feel free to slap me if I've gone to hippy dippy, but I love that stuff
Oh, and keep dtd!!

I hope you have a good day at work blueberry. I'm doing the cleaning.

Where are you off to blue? It's horrible here today - I would happily jet off for some sun if we could.

cariad, Never apologise for your feelings. We are all here to support each other. We have also had a few friends 'move on' when kids have arrived. We've never really been bothered, as we weren't sure until this year that we wanted children. We always used to enjoy thinking about all the things we could do that they couldn't and laugh at their complaining. Now we are ttc I want to tell them to stop bloody whining and enjoy the family they are lucky to have. We also have a million pregnant friends ATM. It is shit, but you will get your family one way or another. You are not a failure. The universe is just taking it's time to match you with the right baby. Cariad mawr, hygs a cofion I chdi o Gymru xxx

Aww are you Welsh too frolic, I assumed cariad was from the name! Welshies in this together :-)

Thanks for your lovely messages ladies. This ttc malarkey is really tough isn't it, not that they teach you that at school!

Another Welshie here

Morning ladies!
I feel for all of you trying to resist to POAS.
I am waiting for AF to turn up next weekend so fx Pregnacare won't have messed up my cycles then its on to next month really seriously ttc!! DH watch out!

Cariad

Cariad it will happen for you I'm sure try not to give up hope. Easy for me to say as I know how extremely lucky I am to have 3dcs already.

However, my best friend was not so lucky she has endometriosis. After a year of ttc she fell pregnant with dc1 and had a normal healthy pregnancy. Between dc 1 & 2 she had four mc with the last one being so far along she had to give birth. Two more mc and she had dc3 and then two years later dc4. So it is possible

Thanks Beautician - your poor friend, so glad she has a big family of her own now. Stories like that give me hope.

Waves at my fellow Welshies Frolic and Lucie.

I know many pregnancy success stories unfortunately preceded by heartache. But it does happen. For some of us it's just a longer journey than others.

Have been thinking some serious thoughts today.

What if the boys swimmers are as rubbish at directions as they can be/are and don't stop for advice ?

Wondering if Amazon sell micro maps for the swimmers - like a treasure map... Here be eggs ? X marks the Fallopian tube straits?

Sorry about all the baby bombing - if I hear one more time- oops just happened when I stopped taking it-then I can't be responsible for action I take( mostly unfollowing and pulling faces!)

Hope the beautician was great- such a good idea! What did you have done?
I heard that hot stone massage is good as relieves tension and warms up the lower back- anyone tried it?

Fx for legit poas ladies. Slap on wrist to those like me peeing £££ down the toilet for no reason other than need to take action as tww lack of action sucks.

Interesting about pregnacare I am
Taking it and despite nuclear coloured wee and clearer skin no noticeable impact. Anyone seen any stats on why it impacts- surely vitamins can't make such an impact?

And fx for all the ladies dtd this weekend! Cold weather means lots of cuddles and duvet time so fx for everyone.

Toots most beauty treatments are helpful when ttc as they help you relax. Maybe not waxing though, although a good bikini wax may help with the DH wanting to dtd haha. Massage is fab, plus reflexology.

Interesting that so many are saying about pregnacare. It definitely wasn't for me. At the moment I am just taking frolic acid but I think I'm going to try the sanatogen one.

Hi blueberry, I'm 9+2 wks. Got my nuchal scan booked for 1st December. Providing all goes to plan. Had a couple of better days this week, but energy levels are at zilch! Satsumas are the best thing in the world currently.
