STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

New thread!

Thanks for all the congratulations everyone - it still doesn't feel real... Not sure when it will kick in... Watching one born every minutetl try and kick start the panic!!

Congratulations @LG93 - lovely news! I have a question...does anyone else drink in their two week wait? I haven't really changed my habits much since ttc and am wondering if it's had an impact?

Congrats LG!!!

Bridget, I was still drinking the day before I got my current bfp, was about 12dpo. Clearly it doesn't make a difference and god knows, it helps when ttc.

Thanks @SoozC. Definitely helps with ttc! After feeling so nauseous a week before FP last month I am refusing to symptom spot this month (she says as she feels a pull in her tummy and sore boobs three days after ovulation!)

@bridget I defo keep drinking, although I have generally reduced my intake. I’ve completely given up coffee so I couldn’t do the 2ww without booze as well!

I’ve never stopped drinking in 2ww. Not a big drinker anyway so are only talking a glass or two of wine.

I drink in the 2ww too. I was drinking lots of red wine and eating runny eggs (which I think are ok now) the night before my BFP with DS. Like Sooz said, we bloody need it sometimes.

I am definitely not having wine in the garden right now, and I am definitely not rather pleased that next weekend away is just before FP is due, so I’ll be drunk on the train

Stopped drinking in fw and two for a bit but made no difference so back to normal! And plenty of wine in the garden tonight.

12dpo and bfn on a frer today. That plus spotting means I’m out!

Congrats @LG93!

Hope you’re doing ok @Looking, I think either Clomid or Letrozole is in my future... nervous about side effects as every one of my mental health meds gave me side effects at first and I only tried metformin for 48 hours before stopping due to the unbearable nausea and diarrhoea... will know on Wednesday as that’s my next appointment with the specialist.

Forgot to say congratulations @LG93!

@LG93 oooh congrats!

@LookingAtTheStars89 sending positive vibes to you this month!!

Nothing to report here two days of ewcm on the hottest days of the year and so far managed to dtd once this fw. Planning to jump him again tonight . I've decided to be so chilled this month that I've not even used opks I'm literally going by ewcm and my "usual " ovulation days.

The woman that pregnancy bombed me two weeks ago has decided to rub it in twice this weekend by twice telling me she's "eating for two " and not had morning sickness and not once asked me how I am!?!?! Argh do one!

@Owlpatrol might be time to mention that eating for two isn't really a thing.

I had my EC yesterday and they managed to get six eggs, which given my AMH levels is the best that can be expected. I find out today how many have fertilised.

@Owlpatrol does she know you’ve been trying? Agree, would definitely tell her that it’s eating for 1 and a sixth in the third trimester only (or something to that effect!).

@Si1ver fingers crossed there’s a good result for you today.

Hi all, hope you all had a good bank holiday in the sunshine! I’m done with ttc now but still going to hang around here for a while if that’s okay :)

New and interesting side effects of clomid! - I've got the constant urge too pee/bm! It's like a uterus pressure thing. My dreams have been vivid and I'm hungry! It's like being pre FP!

@Owlpatrol. Thanks. :-) I'm sorry you were upset, there's always someone somewhere bragging about something. I have a friend who does this with money - very annoying!

@Si1ver. Oooh exciting! Let's home your eggs got themselves some soldiers ;-) ha ha sorry that was lame!

@Bubblegum89. I was wondering where you'd gone off to. Are you still going unprotected or going back on BC? I can't imagine wearing condoms again now.

Sure @Bubblegum89 you’ll conceive IMMEDIATELY now you have stopped trying and RELAXED. It’s obvious isn’t it.

Looking absolutely NOT going back on to birth control lol I hate condoms and artificial hormones do not sit well with me but I’m throwing out my opks and not having any timed sex because I just want to stop all of that now. We’re officially done naturally ttc. May look into IVF in the autumn but thinking of just leaving it until next year now.

Paranormal haha of course ;) if only it were that easy! Hope things are going well with your pregnancy :)

Thread fell off my watched list.

Congrats to you LG93!

Bubblegum I am sorry you have gotten to this point. Did you make a decision about IVF later in the year or are you leaving it til after your holiday?

Wedding was absolutely perfect. I am getting a bit fat already, so it was a fair giveaway - the cat is out of the bag. Dating scan not until next week at nearly 13 weeks, so a little worried about people knowing but it was so blinking obvious.

Ah cross post Bubblegum. Hopefully you can just forget it for a bit and relax.

@Bubblegum89. I don't blame you! Ttc sucks ass! We are giving it until the end of the year and then we will stop ttc naturally. We are booking a holiday to Disneyland Paris for next summer holidays and then we will make a start on IVF when we get back. I admire them but I can't be someone who ttc for years and years. It's too much.

@LimpLettice. Congratulations :-)

@Bubblegum89. I am the same with hormones. I couldn't manage the pill/implant. I'm surprised I'm doing as well as I am on clomid lol, although last night I got mad and then cried because DH had put up a bookcase and I didn't like the way it looked!

Limp you looked stunning, I’m glad you had a lovely day. And I’m so happy everything is going well with your little bean, so exciting :)

Looking yeah it’s not even the physical aspect like regimented sex and opks, it’s the mental aspect as well. Spending two weeks obsessing over everything just to get upset when my period arrives, feeling horribly bitter towards everyone else who gets pregnant at the drop of a hat. If I’m not ttc then I’ll have no expectations. I’ve got a holiday booked in August and we need to get some savings together. I’m trying to keep busy doing things I wouldn’t be able to do if I was pregnant or had a newborn. But you’re right, ttc sucks and I just couldn’t be someone who ttc for years. I don’t have that kind of fight in me!

looking oh I must have missed you were on clomid, how is it going? Apart from the crying haha

Limp congratulations! I hope you had a great day.

Bubble I’m up and down. Spotting on and off, nausea comes and goes. Doesn’t reassure me when I have it as I had awful nausea with MMC. Wish I had a sign it would all be fine this time but I just have to wait.
