[Owlpatrol]

Hi all

Thought I'd start January bus as spotting has started today

Here's my stats

Age 29
Ttc #1
Cycle 13
Currently cd28 at due next couple of days
Next af/bfp due 4th January

Planning to do the sperm meets egg plan this month. Looking forward to af finishing already!

Omg @hardheadedwoman39 I thought that was one of my most ridiculous searches. This is the encouragement I didn't need

Sounds like sound advice !! Thanks baubles ,,, I normally get ignored so I appreciate it xxx I'm trying to entice oh via text as he is at wrk n always tired 😂😂😂

Cake that's what I was going via WhatsApp lol
pics help, don't have to he dirty pics lol

I'm on with the whts app thing to 😂🤭 all I gt back was a "mmmmmmm"

mmmm lol better than no reply

😂😂😂 hilarious... mines jus threatened me with handcuffs and an axe ... looking good then

Loool

Forgot to mention my dream last night

2 kids got lost. 1 little girl and 1 little boy. We took them in and spoilt them both rotten. When their mum found out they were with us she tried to take them away but the kids refused as they loved us more. And they stayed.

I remember driving like a maniac to get to all the dc

Blood dream lol

Wow !!!! Do you have kiddies baubles

I do cakey, I have 3 wonderful boys.
My eldest is 7, he's been to hell and back multiple times. My little fighter had meningitis at 6 weeks old, severe reflux, he's tube fed and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Middle one dotes on his little brother
What ever youngest says goes lol

Eldest made a bracelet for the 'our new baby'
I keep thinking does he know what we don't know lol

Getting some lower back pain but I have just cleaned, hoovered etc house top to bottom.

From seeing your first post sounds like your ttc for your first?

I have four girls ... to a poo head ... oldest nearly 15 .... youngest nearly five .... I hve since met mr fireman 👨🏽‍🚒... n we gt married ... I am now setting about making one of our own ...... u must b wonder mum .. not easy dealing with all tht 😢 hope he is ok ... lots of hugs ....

Think I'm a bit crazy as I work full time in a school too as a behaviour manager 🤨

Aww, wow. The boys would love a sister this time as they keep saying lol

Congrats for ltb that didn't treat you right and for being a newly wed!

He's loads better than what he's been but has his ups and downs bless him.

@LookingAtTheStars89. Yeah AF/BFP due around 1st Jan! Did get a BFN on a FRER on the 28th but might of tested too soon as only 10dpo at that point! Gonna try and hold out a few more days. Have no pregnancy tests left in the house which is probably a good thing! Cycle can vary between 30-36 days so need to bear in mind that if AF doesn’t arrive on the first then it doesn’t mean happy news! Will try and resist testing until late next week just in case it is a longer cycle this month!

Are you using IC this month for opk? What do you think of them? Ooh exciting if the line is getting darker each day

Hi all, been following this thread for a few weeks and never posted but just want to say that it’s so good to know that I’m not alone!

Currently on cycle 3, ttc no 2. Period due anytime between now and Monday (I think!). Symptom spotting like mad and trying hard not to get my hopes up, but glad to know that there’s others in the same boat!

Good luck everyone and congratulations to those who’ve got their BFPs this month!

Welcome @peppamum89

I've had every symptom over the last year of trying .... I give up with it ....

Awww baubles... hope this time u get that little girl ... I really want a little boy !! Oh has a stomach ache now apparently and is at mummy's getting sympathy no doubt 🤨

Cake some gingerale will sort that out hopefully
Fx for you too!
Either way id like a smooth pregnancy and delivery top of the list and for us both to be ok.
My deliveries could be described as traumatic!

Last month I had a chemical pregnancy. From around 10dpo had a horrible taste in my mouth and was put off food.
Had 4 bfps turn neg within a few days.

Getting more cramps now 😔 af due tomorrow

I have 3 boys and a girl. Dd wants a sister she says shes sick of being surrounded by men lol shes 8. My eldest boys (12 and 10) both have autism and heart conditions. And as for my littlest boy (4) like baubles says, what youngest says goes lol

So nice to see other multigravid ladies :)

Awww honey
Autism isn't easy. Eldest was classed as borderline for a long time, for him it was more developmental delay that was causing the confusion.

My niece is severely autistic, non verbal. Beautiful little thing. She's trying so very hard to communicate with everyone and doesn't let it stop her from doing what she wants.

Ah yes, Youngest gets away with it all lol

My older 2 say their prayers before bed and they both ask for a baby sister and recently have started asking for slinkys lol 😆

all round

@HoneyCake86. I have 3 girls :-) 11, 5 and 18 months. They all want a baby brother lol.

@bubblybrit. Yeah my cycle lengths vary too. I should be around 32 but I know in my head that i can go to 36. I stopped taking the pregnancy vitamins this cycle and have been taking folic acid. I don't know if it's because I'm chilled but I actually have ewcm today! We've managed to dtd without the assistance of lube (sorry tmi) this cycle and I know that's definitely because we are chilled!

I really hope you get good news :-)

We will need a bigger car which is somethin we need with or without another dc.

I come from a big family and so does dh. It's so rewarding, waking up to all those smiles and kisses 😍

@bubblybrit. 're the opks, they are more time consuming than the clear blue but they are fairly simple to use.

@LookingAtTheStars89. Yeah cycles that vary can be annoying! My first two cycles after coming off bc were 36 days. However my last cycle was only 30 days so think my body is still trying to readjust!

Go you taking the pressure off is definitely the best approach...wish I could listen to my own advice haha!

I’ve got about 10 sticks left of clearblue so prob use them up before I decide to continue or use IC!
