Yay congrats Moonlight! Truly hope this one is a sticky bean. 🙏🏻

BoBo90 · 24/09/2016 20:06

Good luck for the morning basset Smile

Moonlight I'm due 5th June! So you must be 8th? Grin I am getting stupidly excited now even though I told myself not too until the 6 week mark!

Haha Mouse! I had gotten really rubbish at taking my folic acid this cycle but luckily started taking it properly again last week so baby bobo should be fine! I also just read you shouldn't take cod liver oil and multivitamins once pg as they contain too much vit A so thought I'd give you a heads up for when you get that bfp Wink

I'm guessing pregnacare is ok to keep taking now? I've just bought 3 months worth! I don't know what the difference between the ttc one and the upduffed one? I was only taking folic acid and vit d before this month. Yay bobo! This is exciting lol. I feel so emotionally overwhelmed right now, I really don't want to get too excited but it's impossible not to be! I'm really going to have to try and not get stressed at work now!

BoBo90 · 24/09/2016 20:17

I assume pregnacare is absolutely fine because i's designed with babies in mind. I think as long as its not too much vitamin A you can take other stuff Smile I need to pick up some vit D tomorrow Smile Yes no stress at work for you mrs!

Yay moonlight! Congratulations! Omg so exciting for you lovely ladies xxxxx

Luci, I'm so glad you got AF (although a shame it's not a bfp)...I wish I could have one - never have I wished for it so much in all my life! Lol!!! Xx

MouseLove · 24/09/2016 21:21

Oh bobo no I didn't know that so thanks for the heads up. Will switch to a cod liver oil that doesn't contain anything else if/when I get that BFP.

And mojito. CONGRATULATIONS. I forgot to say I looked at your pic and thought wow that's a defo positive line!!!

Purpleviola14 · 24/09/2016 22:09

Congrats Mojito! That's a blaring positive! What do you mean you just felt different? Have you told OH yet?

Seven how long has this cycle been for you?

^ahahah I'm there! Thanks bobo you're so good!

purple I really couldn't tell you sorry, I just has this overwhelming feeling that I'm pregnant. Maybe I am just crazy?! I just kind of felt it... 9dpo really shouldn't have given me a BFP yet but there it is! No, I haven't told him! He's at work all night. And... I know this is probably bad but I don't know if I will tell him for a few days yet anyway. I think he might be a bit mad that I've tested so early and he's a worrier so I'm worried how anxious he will be after mc last time. I'm thinking I'll try and wait until Thursday then do a cb digital so he actually see the word 'pregnant' but I know the digitals aren't very sensitive so don't want to waste a 5er!

Johno85 · 24/09/2016 22:40

Hey moonlight. I heard something on a pain course I was on recently but I think it's applies to lots of situations. "Anxious people make anxious people anxious". Therefore if you're not entirely sure you don't want to tell dh yet then wait till you're comfortable with it x

HighHopes16 · 24/09/2016 22:45

Hope you don't mind me asking this Moonlight but how long has it been since your miscarriage?

Piehunter · 24/09/2016 22:53

Ahhhh huge congratulations to you both bobo and mojitos!! :D

Purpleviola14 · 24/09/2016 23:00

Yeah I think you're right Mojito to wait a few days, be hard keeping it in but as you say, it's much less doubtful seeing the words than a line, might sink in a bit more, how exciting! Grin

MoonlightMojitos · 24/09/2016 23:07

johno that is good advice. I think we're both going to be very anxious for the next month or so but I think the next week til I'm past when af is due will be the worst so I will wait a few days to tell him :). I just wondered if that was horrible of me not to tell him but I think it's for the best for him, bless.

highhopes not all hun, it's 10 weeks today since I started bleeding with the mc. They thought I lost it before then though.

Thanks piehunter!

Seven0fNine · 24/09/2016 23:14

purple I'm 70 days today since my withdrawal bleed coming off the pill. It feels like forever. I've sort of given up hope of ttc at the moment! 🙄🙄 the novelty of dtd has worn off as nothing seems to of woken up yet! Becoming pregnant just seems like a distant dream xx

HighHopes16 · 24/09/2016 23:14

I thought so, I remember it happening a couple of weeks after mine. I've read that some people are even more fertile after m/c so you're clearly one of the lucky ones. Smile

BoBo90 · 24/09/2016 23:38

Moonlight it's probably a good idea not to tell him yet. And just so you know I did a CB digi the day after my bfp and it came back positive so you won't have to wait too long 😄

Seven you poor thing I really hope it's not much longer for you lovely! My first cycle was 76 days long so I know how frustrating it is! This cycle would have been 59days and I've got my bfp so it can still happen very late in the cycle 😊

bassetmum · 25/09/2016 06:29

Well ladies I had a bfn this morning but then it could still be too early as I still don't have a clue when af is due

Purpleviola14 · 25/09/2016 07:12

Aww seven bless you, my first cycle was 7 days too, it's just so frustrating isn't it, but try not to worry. I'd tried everything, charting, Angus castus, then literally the day after I went to the docs, she told me to stop stressing, stop the AC my AF showed up!
Have you tried B6 complex vitamins? They really helped to even things out for me. Don't give up hope lovely, it will come soon!x

MishyBakes · 25/09/2016 08:34

Just popped back here after a long radio silence, it's wonderful to see so many bfps! Massive congrats Bobo and moonlight and everyone else! We are now on cycle 5, and everything has settled AF and ovulation wise, which is reassuring 😊 I am now 9dpo, with no real symptoms - just holding out until I can test. Good luck everyone and congrats again to all the bfps!

Seven0fNine · 25/09/2016 09:33

haha aww bobo I'm so happy for you. You are so supportive and always looking after us all, you are going to be an amazing mum! just don't leave us!!! haha!

purple Glad to hear I'm not on my own. I'm trying not to get stressed about it...I just wish I'd of gone straight back to normal. I'm taking seven seas which has B6 in it. Was thinking about trying AC but after reading up a bit on it I'm not so keen.

Gonna start eating better and doing a bit more exercise this week and see if that helps! Even if it doesn't help my fertility hopefully I will loose a couple of lbs!!

Welcome Mishy and Basset xx

growcookeat · 25/09/2016 09:49

Wow! So much action in the last week. Huge congratulations bobo and moonlight and mrscw! Exciting times ahead.

I really think the good vibes on this thread have helped us all to stay calm and positive about ttc and now lots of us are reaping the rewards. I'm sure it won't be long before we get more bfps from the lovely ladies still waiting.

Good luck all and Have fun dtd! Smile

Purpleviola14 · 25/09/2016 09:51

Sorry seven that was supposed to say 75 not 7. Yeah each to their own about AC. I was all for it but after my doc really advised me against it it scared me abit, but I know it's worked for some.

Hi mishy how you doing lovely? I'm cycle 5 too, still clinging on to this ttc business. I've been to docs and had bloods done etc, all were normal except progesterone which was inconclusive so I've Gotta get that done again, probs cos my late ovulation so my day 21 bloods isn't exactly day 21. Good thing is she ruled out pcos though so I'm keeping fairly positive Grin

LuciBee231015 · 25/09/2016 10:26

Congrats moonlight! Wonderful news!

Wow the forum has been busy since I last looked! 😳

HighHopes16 · 25/09/2016 10:29

What did your dr say about Agnus Castus Purple ? I started taking it a couple of weeks ago and have bled on and off since then so I'm not 100% if I should continue with it! I did read really good reviews before I bought it though.
