Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Ahhh Brooke, I get serious bump envy, it seems all of my friends are pregnant at the moment. They're all going to be off on maternity leave at the same time too whilst I'll be at work as usual Sad

Hope you enjoyed Mr Sparkles' celebratory dinner Sparkles. Sorry the dreaded AF has arrived though.

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 26/04/2015 09:37

I have such bad bump envy all the time! No-one knows we are ttc so I can't even talk to people about it!

nickynackynoo31 · 26/04/2015 12:36

I've had a boring weekend not done anything to write home about.

Issie339 · 26/04/2015 18:18

Hi everyone!

Things I have done today:

  1. spent 2 hours at a soft play centre with DD for a birthday party (shudder)

  2. drank 4 coffees in advance of going 100% decaf from tomorrow (sob, gulp!)

  3. Done 3 loads of washing- dullsville

Hope you've all had a good Sunday!

Brooke113 · 26/04/2015 19:10

Going to start the dtd marathon tomorrow, I've prewarned Dh Grin

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 26/04/2015 19:17

Happy shagathon Brooke!

Dull sunday for me- lights wash washed and dried outside, tidied living room, slight tidy-up of 2nd bedroom, sorted out some stuff for a charity bag.

Yawn!

8 days still to go until I can POAS!

Issie339 · 26/04/2015 20:10

Very productive day maybemrs

Hope everyone's ok and not gone quiet because they're down or finding this ttc malarkey tough Sad Feel free to chat xx

Lovelyjubbly95 · 26/04/2015 20:16

Hi I've been ttc for over 16mths for no.2. Did fall in Feb but mc at 6wks. Using a cbfm atm to know when I'm ovulating. I'll buddy up with u :)

VioletIbiza88 · 26/04/2015 21:05

Hi lovely, welcome!!

Issie ive had four coffees today too an have stocked up on decaf lattes in preparation for tomorrow. Also prewarned oh about the dtd-athon due to start on Tuesday. He seemed very pleased lol. Currently running the worlds slowest bath!!!

Issie339 · 26/04/2015 22:09

Hi lovely so sorry to hear of your mc.

violet haha, we're going to be terrible this week with caffeine withdrawal- eek! Shock

Lovelyjubbly95 · 26/04/2015 22:20

Jst one of those things. Was devastated at the time as we had tried for so long. But obviously wasn't the right time x

Issie339 · 26/04/2015 22:49

I can only imagine how hard that must have been lovely Flowers We are all feeling super positive for May though, here's hoping you'll be getting that BFP along with the rest of us x

Lovelyjubbly95 · 26/04/2015 23:11

Thanks :)

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 27/04/2015 06:05

Hi lovely

Issie and Violet If I'm not up-duffed this cycle I think I'll hop on to the decaff bandwagon. Work could be awful without it but then hopefully I'd be on mat leave soon after!

sparklesandfizz · 27/04/2015 08:12

Oops accidentally gave dd2 a dumb and dumber haircut last night.
Hope all well will catch up properly later x

sparklesandfizz · 27/04/2015 13:44

Guys soooo quiet on here, cat got all your tounges?

Violet and issie - glad I'm not a friend in RL. Imagine you are both feeling lack of caffeine!

Nicky any updates from you? Fx you're still in the game

Welcome lovely!

You guys better be more chatty later dh on call so relying on you Grin x

Lovelyjubbly95 · 27/04/2015 14:06

Haha is rather quiet isn't it lol
Well I'm on yet another high according to my cbfm...That's 12 days in a row now...and no peak yet...?

Brooke113 · 27/04/2015 14:33

Nothing to report here, starting ttc tonight, cd8, going to start OPKs tomorrow, I forgot this morning, but hopefully haven't missed anything and we're planning on dtd tonight anyway so I'm.not too worried. My Amazon delivery of preseed finally arrived today, hoping it aids us to conceive this month, feel like we've been ttc forever, I know it's only month 3, think it's because I fell pregnant with dc1 and dc2 so easily and then I had a mmc around 3 years ago, and that was from the withdrawal method :( maybe my body doesn't want me to have anymore :(

Issie339 · 27/04/2015 14:57

Oh no, poor baby sparkles with her goofy haircut! Lols. Oh well, it's character building Wink

Caffeine today: 1 small coffee (very small and it was given to me, bought by a friend so I couldn't not drink it!)
Headache: pretty severe- grrrr

Oh Brooke I'm sure that's not it at all, I know it feels a long time but 3 months is still really quick to conceive. Hugs! X

Faybelline · 27/04/2015 15:23

Hi girls, not much to report from me either.

Just left my fertile window so got to wait till May 8th.. I want to test now!! Lol!!

As for kicking the caffeine.. Well let's not go there hey..

X

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 27/04/2015 16:03

Symptom spotter alert!

Today at work I felt really light-headed at one point, had an itchy boob, and the several times I went to the loo I noticed a fair amount of mucus (tmi!)

I also have a few stomach cramps.

DH is on late shifts this week so I'll be at home alone imagining more symptoms! Blush

Faybelline · 27/04/2015 16:16

Maybe
Fingers crossed for you :-) No one knows we're trying so I can't talk about it either!! It's driving me insane!!

I'm thinking of getting some ovulation sticks tonight, just to make sure I've not missed my window, although I won't see him tonight.. Better not get them tonight on second thoughts.. That might tip me over the edge!

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 27/04/2015 16:45

Faybelline I keep wanting to tell people we're trying, or at least hinting towards it but I know I'll regret it I do. Got to stick to it and keep my gob shut!

VioletIbiza88 · 27/04/2015 21:42

Well that's day 1 without caffeine done. Had such a bad headache, which kicked in at 12 an has only just shifted. Work was not fun today!! CD8 tomorrow so both the opk and dtd a thon due to start, so hope I'm feeling better! CD8 seems really early to start opk'ing doesnt anyone else think, but last cycle only 26 days so that's what the instructions are saying. I will probably run out as didn't ov until CD20 last time!!!

Nicky any news yet, hope AF has stayed away!!

Issie339 · 27/04/2015 21:59

Violet my headache was awful, so bad I had to take paracetamol. Going to be tough at work tomorrow. I'm only cd5 of 31 day cycle so not starting OPKs and dtd-marathon until the weekend.
