Good morning ladies how r u all ?

I'm 8dpo ff says I only have 1 point on the pregnancy monitor Sad. And I've no symptoms at all. Don't think its my month.

Hope you all have a lovely day xx

HidCat · 03/07/2018 10:44

@Funkyemzie twice! CD 13 and CD16 then ovulated CD18.

@Llondbol so lovely to see you back. I hope my news wasn't too hard on you this morning.

@strawberrye I had a huge temp drop this morning! Like down to pre-ov temps! I really hope this is your month too.

@Boboelephant chart is attached. My temps are rocky as I keep waking before my alarm, probably due to the heat. Still a discernible pattern though.

Thanks again everyone, feeling the love 💕

Hi All!

Hoping it continues to be a positive month for everyone!

I am 10/11 dpo I think, I've just had lots of cm tmi, I felt abit wet so went to toilet and there was lots of it. I'm not really up on cm so is that a good thing at this stage in the cycle does anyway know!

Anyday88 · 03/07/2018 13:31

Ooops that should have been a ?

MrsLCW · 03/07/2018 13:36

@Anyday88 I'm 4+2 and this was one of my first symptoms, I kept thinking I'd come on!! Good luck!! X

zarala · 03/07/2018 14:17

@Anyday88 that was my first symptom for my last 3 pregnancies! So Fx for you!!!!

@HidCat yay! Congrats!!! Hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy!!! Keep us posted please!!!

@Funkyemzie I am sorry your friend stole your name! I think that's really insensitive of her! Eugh sometimes people just don't think!

@TinyPaws Hope the clinic went well today!

Even tho I'm not TTC this month I can't get enough of this thread! I really feel like I'm hooked! I check in at least 3-4 times a day! So many ups and downs and lots of sexy time! It's like the best ever reality tv show haha!

Hope you're all doing well today! 💕

@boboelephant I was never told when I could start trying again after the ectopic and I didn’t think to ask at the time. I think I’m going to start trying after i get my first period . It’s been 4.5 weeks now since the surgery and still no sign of af or even ovulation happening. When did you get your first period after your ectopic?

zarala · 03/07/2018 14:22

@Yukka
I'm so sorry to hear you've also been through 3 MCs
I would be interested in joining your thread
I've had 3 MCs since August 2017
And I've already done all my testing and diagnosis with DR Shehata and waiting for the RMC at St Mary's to get back to me with their results
But i still feel like I am just starting out on this journey- so would love to join other women who have been through 3+ MCs and who are about to embark on this TTC game

Boboelephant · 03/07/2018 14:50

Haha @zarala me too! Can't stay away!!
@charlyn I think if they didn't tell you not to you should be fine to crack on. I was told I almost died and had massive internal bleeding. I needed 6 blood transfusions so they actually wanted me to wait 6 months for my insides to heal. I agreed to 3 as 6 seemed impossible. 20 months later that impatience now seems ridiculous! I can't remember to be honest and as I'd fallen pregnant first month I wasn't tracking or anything back then. I think it was about 5 weeks but not totally sure. Hope your body regulates soon.

Thanks @MrsLCW & @zarala fingers crossed then! I don't remember noticing it previously but I don't think I realised it meant anything!

Bobzybaby · 03/07/2018 16:37

@Funkyemzie I'm sorry your friend stole your name. I have names picked out and (this may sound weird!?) those are my little people. I'd be gutted if anyone used them.

@HidCat massive congratulations to you! Lovely news 😊

I'm finding it hard keeping up with all the messages! Just want to wish everyone a good day and hope you're all keeping well 😊 x

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 03/07/2018 17:31

Just caught up on some of the thread, congratulations to all the bfp's hoping for sticky beans for you all 🎉
I've decided to take a break from TTC and brought myself a puppy instead I'm also moving in next 6 weeks

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 03/07/2018 17:33

Pressed to soon ! I'm hopefully that I'll decide to get back on it later this year but think it's possibly the end of my TTC journey and that I'm just going to enjoy my new puppy and my 2 children, picture of said puppy

TinyPaws · 03/07/2018 17:35

Thanks @Jessabean, @Blondcat and @PurpleFushia!

Clinic appointment went ok, lining 7.8mm (was hoping for 8mm but it still has a few days to thicken yet), biggest follicle 11mm, back in 2 days for another scan. Was hoping lead follicle would be a little larger as partner can only attend the IUI appointment if it happens this Saturday, which looks unlikely now.

@Funkyemzie Sorry AF is paying you a visit. Onwards to the next cycle I guess.

@Mistymeow That is odd, thanks for sharing! Must have been a horrible disappointment though, sorry that happened to you. Sad My body has been rather weird since miscarriage, CM different, period different, PMT symptoms different so when the TWW hits I won't know what to think anymore!

HidCat · 03/07/2018 17:46

@Lovewinemorethanhusband he's gorgeous!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 03/07/2018 18:02

@hidcat thank you I'm so excited can't wait to get him, he's a chorkie.
Hoping you have a sticky bean and you manage to enjoy pregnancy

Ells0204 · 03/07/2018 18:38

Omg congrats @HidCat !! I’ve seen many of your posts on here and I think you’ve even replied to a couple of mine, soooo happy you’ve got your BFP. I’ve got EVERYTHING crossed for you xxx

@Lovewinemorethanhusband That puppy is adorable!

Spooples · 03/07/2018 19:43

I'm driving myself crazy this evening. 26 days post miscarriage and around 10-12 says since I think I ovulated.

Boobs killing me today so just POAS which I promised myself I wouldn't do until Thursday and I SWEAR I can see the tiniest, faintest line BUT I can't get it to show on a photo and I'm not 100% sure I'm not imagining it so I don't wanna tell DH (he's away today) and get him excited in case I'm wrong 😭

Why do I doooo thissss?!

Pancakes7 · 03/07/2018 19:56

Pancakes7 · 03/07/2018 19:56

Meant to add. Trying since Feb 2018.

Pancakes7 · 03/07/2018 19:58

@Spooples Get a digital test so it's clear. It'll read pregnant or not pregnant. No doubting what you see. Fx for you.

Spooples · 03/07/2018 19:59

Thanks Pancakes :) I went with the old-fashioned ones cause I heard they were more sensitive but maybe that's not true? I'll try to get some digitals after work tomorrow

KnitKitty · 03/07/2018 20:02

Eeeek!! So many posts to catch up on!!! Will reply as I read through...

TedLife I'm now CD4 so just one day behind you. :) Jessabean I see we're still roughly on the same schedule. Let's hope we both get our BPFs around the same time too, it would be nice to go through it together. :) Fingers crossed for all three of us cycle triplets!!!

Hi Bobzybaby, welcome. I'm so sorry for your losses. Fingers crossed for you for a sticky and healthy bean in the correct place. xxx

Joining the crochet gang too. I started making some brightly coloured bunting for a baby room when I was pregnant and it's currently in a box waiting for me to be ready to continue it. I knit as well (hence the username). Taught myself loom knitting recently and have been making lots of baby hats. Might donate them.

Pampl3M0usse Keep going and things will get slowly better. Horrible experiences make you stronger. You're doing amazingly! xxx

Funkyemzie that really sucks about the moor fires. :( RE your friend who's had a baby... I'm lost for words. That's just not on at all. I would feel the same as you. hugs!

Haha Laney79 "posh bonk"! Fingers crossed for you this month. xxx

Hidcat I HAD A FEELING FOR YOU! :D so pleased!!! Hope it's a sticky one!!! Best of luck!!!

This has been a lucky thread so far, let's hope it continues!!!

Lovewinemorethanhusband Ooooohh myyy gooooddnessss!!! Gorgeous lickle pup!!!

TinyPaws I'm glad the appointment went well. Good luck for the next steps. xxx

Spooples Good luck. Hope the squinter becomes a line. xxx

So I might start trying the fruit juice stuff as an experiment this month. To those in the know, what do I need to be drinking before FW?
