Congratulations @OhMarnie ! 🎉

Welcome @dottydally and @Lifesforlivingandloving 👋🏻

Thanks @PeacockingAbout and @FlapJackered

LokiCat · 05/03/2019 07:19

@OhMarnie huge congratulations!! So happy and excited for you! Wishing you a healthy 9 months x

@PeacockingAbout nope, they said I can still go in but to let the sonographer know that I'm pregnant 🤷🏽‍♀️ so I've got my appointment today at 10:30.
Hope AF goes away soon so you can start BD!

orangeloo · 05/03/2019 07:47

I'm cycle 3 now unfortunately any volunteers to take over from @TrashKitten10 it's a hard act to follow. I would volunteer but I'm renovating my house atm and have a lot going on and I wouldn't want to drop the ball.

Had a pregnancy dream last night. Hate starting the day disappointed.

Have a good day everyone. Good luck to anyone testing. X

Jessikka · 05/03/2019 07:58

Morning all 👋🏻

Happy Tuesday to you!

I had an extra hour lie in today - I said sod it to the overtime and cwtched up to my man instead for an hour in the warm. Lush start to the day 🥰

MrsR16 · 05/03/2019 08:48

@FlapJackered that's fantastic to hear! I'm CD13 at the moment, which Flo's predicted as O day! However, Glow reckons I won't ovulate until Saturday... I had a slightly stronger OPK yesterday, but still not positive. I'm hoping I don't miss it while I'm at work! 🙈

@Lifesforlivingandloving welcome to this wonderful thread! You'll see all the crazy here, including the real down moments that we sometimes get, but the support is unreal 😊

@Jessikka I could have done with an hour lie in today! The DH decided that late last night would be great to BD (which I certainly didn't complain about!) but it was far too late when we'd finished, so I'm surviving on less than 5 hours sleep!! 😂 definitely going to fall asleep at my desk today

starkid · 05/03/2019 08:57

@OhMarnie - Yayyyy congrats!

I'm loving the onslaught of BFP's in this thread in the last week Smile

Lozzlepop · 05/03/2019 09:23

@OhMarnie congratulations lovely, amazing news! So happy for you.

Hello and welcome to all you new ladies 👋🏻

Sorry i have been off the grid since yesterday, OH has had some bad news regarding his work and is worried about job security, he is a total worrier but now its worrying me as I am wondering if we should stop trying? Its just being in limbo that worries me as there are no job opportunities here for him. Feeling very lost and sad today as I feel if we give up now we will never have a baby but don't want to put extra stress on us. Due to OV in the next few days 😞

starkid · 05/03/2019 09:30

@Lozzlepop - one thing I've realised is that if you wait until you're definitely ready for kids e.g. finances, house, career, age etc. you'll forever be waiting. FX for your DH xx

starkid · 05/03/2019 09:32

I mean until you have the perfect 'recipe' for being ready for kids e.g. perfect house, marriage, time of year, x amount of funds in bank etc., not being ready in general

Lozzlepop · 05/03/2019 09:35

@starkid I know, thats exactly how I feel but I don't want to stress him out more. Also not 100% keen as his options are move down south or to the USA both of which we would know nobody and have no support network 😞Also if he was to go to America I doubt I would get to go as we aren't married, its making me feel really down about the whole situation. Not what I need for a Tuesday 😬

BabySquid · 05/03/2019 09:52

@MrsR16 lol midnight giggidy - sometimes the best but not the lack of sleep haha

@Lozzlepop don't worry about not being married, if you've been together a while and living together a while you're classed as common law and have quite a few rights, maybe look into it? We're planning a move to Oz in a couple or years but I wanted to have kids first, but I've realised neither of them are things I'm willing to put on hold.

DayDreamer1707 · 05/03/2019 10:11

Morning Ladies, sorry again for being so absent lately but I think it has helped me stay much calmer with the whole TTC. I am on CD12 and due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Also manage to be asked in for an interview on Thursday which is a little confusing giving the situation but I am going to go for it. When I found out I was pregnant last time I had to turn down a job offer and then that ended in MC so I just have to go for it right??

@OhMarnie Congratulation to your BFP - this is looking like an extremely lucky thread for some ladies x

BabySquid · 05/03/2019 10:25

@DayDreamer1707 completely agree with you, if I've learned anything from 11 months of ttc, it's don't put the rest of life on hold. Good luck for it, is it an internal or external interview?

Pika88 · 05/03/2019 10:29

We started the year TTC, and in January the TWW drove me insane and I spent a small fortune on tests and was so disappointed when AF arrived. So, we decided to try be more relaxed about it and I haven't been checking when I ovulate or anything, only assuming it based on an app. So I maybe ovulated about 6 days ago. I put it out of my mind thinking the chance of pregnancy would be very low as we were DTD about 5/6 days before ovulation. Since yesterday I've had terrible back ache and was just a bit annoyed about it, but then I went to the toilet before bed and had pink spotting. I NEVER spot between my periods, I don't want to get my hopes up again and my ovulation dates are complete estimates, but is it possible for this to be implantation bleeding and pain?

DayDreamer1707 · 05/03/2019 10:29

@BabySquid it's external, I am not happy where I am at all. So fed up and feel like I am going no where. This job I am applying for is much closer to home, more holidays and a company that is successful. I am happy to get the minimum MAT leave if it came to that, I don't even have a contract with my current company so want out x

Jessikka · 05/03/2019 10:38

Have you seen that Cadbury advert where the little girl tried to buy a DairyMilk for her mum with plastic coins and buttons? The shopkeeper lets her and gives back a unicorn as her "change"?....

I just balled at that advert.

Please tell me it made someone else well up too!!?? 😂

Between the emotions and the cramps I'm already having, this next AF is going to be a b%#ch I can tell 🥵😂

KatBeCool · 05/03/2019 10:44

Temp dropped today, I won't even bother testing. I knew it was low before I even reached for the thermometer. I guess I'm not meant to have a baby this year. 😢

Lottiepink · 05/03/2019 10:50

Hi everyone,

Been watching in the background.

Congratulations to those who got their BFP 😊

@KatBeCool what cd are you? And when did you ov?

Lozzlepop · 05/03/2019 10:57

@BabySquid thanks I will have a look, think he's just put the fear into me and I'm getting ahead of myself but I do like to irrationally worry about things that haven't happened yet.😂

@DayDreamer1707 yes you must got for it lovely, sounds like theres a lot of positives!!

BabySquid · 05/03/2019 10:59

@Jessikka I'm with you on that one! Hits me in the feels every time!
@KatBeCool chin up babe, it'll happen when your body is ready.

So after my question about progesterone, flo's little nugget of advice today was about progesterone cream!! And how low levels could be the cause of light periods and the ability for a fertilised egg to implant properly. Going to look into it for use post ov and give it a bash.

starkid · 05/03/2019 11:02

@DayDreamer1707 - well done with getting an interview :)

KatBeCool · 05/03/2019 11:08

@Lottiepink I'm 14 dpo , cd29.

@BabySquid at this point it's getting to be close to impossible to chin up. I don't have much time left to ttc and every month of it not happening is more devastating than the previous.

starkid · 05/03/2019 11:08

@KatBeCool - sorry if it's not looking positive :(

thumper59 · 05/03/2019 11:19

@OhMarnie congratulations! That's amazing xx

Toka · 05/03/2019 11:43

@DayDreamer1707 absolutely go for it!! You can always make things work and this is definitely the the time to "lean in". Congratulations for getting the interview.
