Hi ladies! Just wondering if anyone else is trying for DC2? Hoping we can support each other through this journey 🙂 I have a soon to be 4 year old, on cycle no 2 and currently waiting to exhale ovulate!

Well, I guess this is a lesson in why we shouldn’t use expired tests! This was the one I bought two days ago and took this morning

Congrats @LaBelleSausage :) that is a very strong positive xx

fairybeagle · 17/01/2019 08:24

@LaBelleSausage congratulations!! 🎉

LaBelleSausage · 17/01/2019 08:39

Thanks both, I just hope it’s a sticky one Smile

LillianFullStop · 17/01/2019 08:42

Congrats @LaBelleSausage!!!

No such luck for me today - AF due yesterday and BFN with FMU. Wish AF would just get on with it so I can start next cycle!

LaBelleSausage · 17/01/2019 08:43

Sorry Lillian, although it’s not over until AF is here so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you

Congrats @LaBelleSausage

We just need rest to join the club now :) can't wait to see more BFP's ;) xxx

HeartvsHead · 17/01/2019 15:14

@LillianFullStop FMU might not be the best urine after all according to this research. Fingers crossed there's still a BFP for you in the next few days x

Oh wow that’s interesting thanks for the link @HeartvsHead. I hope you’re right but I won’t test again until Sunday if AF is still a no show... I’ll be well late by then!

LillianFullStop · 18/01/2019 13:47

Looking like AF is here with some spotting today. Too late for IB so quite sure it’s AF. Back to CD1 I go. Confused

crazychemist · 18/01/2019 15:17

Yaaay, congratulations sausage! Flowers

Sorry to hear about AF Lillian. Fingers crossed for the next one!

I’ve been trying to avoid overthinking and working out when best time for conception would be..... but have just realised that day 12-14 is when I will be away from home so will not see DH. Bloody typical!

Ellikopter · 21/01/2019 19:05

Well 22 weeks into this pregnancy and it's resorted to this prescription after a bad nights sleep with bad acid and pain I hope this subsides :(

@Ellikopter oh no, sorry to hear that :( I know how you feel. I'm on iron tablets coz I'm anaemic and it's looking like I'm going to have to go back to the GP for a pregnancy safe laxative as it messes with my bowels. The things we have to go through!

@rollerskaterdata you may already have tried spatone iron supliments but they were fantastic for me and had no ill effects on my stomach

rollerskaterdata · 21/01/2019 21:04

@LaBelleSausage thanks for the suggestion hun, I've actually been on spatone for the past couple months between my booking in appt and my recent blood tests, and my iron levels actually got lower while I was on them! Apparently they only have 5mg of iron per sachet so had no effect on me whatsoever. So I'm now on iron tablets of 300mg per tablet which I'm sure will make a difference but is stopping me up so badly 😅

rollerskaterdata · 21/01/2019 21:04

@LaBelleSausage they were great on my stomach though, I miss them! Shame they didn't work for me when they work for so many other ppl x

OP posts:
LaBelleSausage · 21/01/2019 21:15

Oh that is a shame. I’m glad the iron is working for you now but the side effects are not pleasant so you have my sympathy there! Hope it’s sorted soon

waitingforbaby2 · 24/01/2019 11:43

Hi how is everyone? I'm just starting my TWW now but have only managed to DTD once during my fertile week as I've been feeling rubbish and tired because of having a cold so not feeling hopeful this month

LaBelleSausage · 24/01/2019 14:36

Good luck @waitingforbaby2, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
A week since my BFP and all good here! Still can’t quite believe it. Other than a very heightened sense of smell and feeling very tired and run down I don’t feel like I’m actually pregnant.
Have booked an early scan for 9th Feb as I’m off on a spa break with my mum on 12th/13th and want to tell her then as she’ll realise I’m not drinking etc

Ellikopter · 24/01/2019 18:28

Fingers crossed@waitingforbaby2

Ellikopter · 24/01/2019 18:28

@waitingforbaby2

rollerskaterdata · 24/01/2019 19:29

Hoping this is the cycle for you @waitingforbaby2

Hope the scan goes well @LaBelleSausage let us know
