Thankyou @MrsH497 ♥️

Hey @FlapJackered I'm okay thankyou - we've decided to start TTC again, I did tag myself into this thread but it moves so fast I've just stayed silently lurking 😅 how are you holding up lovely? Are you feeling prepared and ready for DTD again? 😂 we DTD this morning - I showered and dropped my robe off in front of DH, not giving him much of a choice... maybe shower with him after rugby? Xx

How is everyone else? @KatBeCool @starkid ?sorry there's so many people here I feel so out of sync!! Xx

LokiCat · 12/03/2019 11:32

Hi ladies, I think I'll be joining you back on the TTC journey. I had brown spotting over the weekend which became heavy bleeding yesterday and has continued today, with unbearable cramping. Went to EPU for an internal scan and they couldn't find anything. Doctor thinks it may also be because it's still early, but it's likely to be a miscarriage. They've done a blood test to check for hormone levels and will do a second one on Thursday. I've pretty much come to terms with it now.
I'm going to take a month off to relax (plus my best friends wedding is coming up so that will hopefully keep my mind off things).

I hope you're all well. Lots of fingers crossed and baby dust to you all in the mean time xx

BabySquid · 12/03/2019 11:37

@FlapJackered I think after a month of you guys not DTD, if it were my hubs there'd be no seduction needed, just pants off!! Haha
And I wouldn't know if I have a thyroid problem, the dr told me to cancel the blood test she booked as didn't seem to be a need for it.
@starkid I've just entered my FW too. We can get through the TWW together.

starkid · 12/03/2019 12:16

@BabySquid yay cycle buddies :)

MrsR16 · 12/03/2019 12:34

@Lozzlepop @BostonFern woohoo! Cycle buddies are great 😂 just one day ahead of you guys, but that's close enough for me!

@Lozzlepop you crack me up! "Some people just look at a penis and WHAM they are pregnant"!!! 🤣🤣

@FlapJackered yay for BDing plans!! I'd just strip and stand in front of him! 😂 cos obviously I'm the most romantic person in the world with awesome seduction techniques🙈

@LokiCat oh hun, I'm really sorry to hear that! 😕 I'm thinking of you xx

orangeloo · 12/03/2019 12:36

@LokiCat so sorry to hear that Thanks glad ure holding up (as well as can be) though. X

Hannah192 · 12/03/2019 12:57

@LokiCat so sorry to hear this. Sending best wishes 💐
@orangeloo amazing, thank you! They will deffo take away a lot of the agro so will give them a go 👍🏼
@BostonFern I’ll keep my fx for you! TWW is the worst but try and keep busy and hopefully it’ll go quickly for you 🤞🏼

KatBeCool · 12/03/2019 14:02

@cupcakesandglitter so happy to see you back with us! I'm starting Clomid today again. Hoping it works this time.

cupcakesandglitter · 12/03/2019 14:17

Thanks @KatBeCool 😊 how did chlomid go for you last cycle? How were the side effects? X

cupcakesandglitter · 12/03/2019 14:18

Sorry to hear that @LokiCat xx

@starkid @BabySquid I think I'm in my FW too! CD13 here xx

Lozzlepop · 12/03/2019 14:20

@Cupcakesandglitter nice to see you back

@LokiCat oh hun I am so sorry to hear this, sending lots of love your way!

@MrsR16 deffo close enough! Haha I know but its just ridiculous, heres me eating healthy and going to the gym etc and other people just look in its direction and they are knocked up 🤣

March Madness continues, not long back from the gym and having a coffee (trying to be relaxed this TWW)

KatBeCool · 12/03/2019 14:24

@cupcakesandglitter I didn't have any bad side effects from Clomid or estrogen, they actually made me happy, even DH noticed. But progesterone made me an irritable bitch where everything in the world annoyed and angered me. Although it did remove all the pms symptoms I had in previous cycles, like sore boobs, which led me to believe I was low before.

starkid · 12/03/2019 14:34

@LokiCat - Aw i'm really sorry to hear that :( we're all here when you're ready to join again xx

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 14:39

Hi, hoping to join.
I'm ttc no.1
Been using opks this month and just wanted to see what people thought to my last few results. The bottom ones are my most recent. Are these positive for ovulation?
If anyone has any advice that would be great. Hoping I'll get my bfp soon 🤞🏻 x

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 14!
starkid · 12/03/2019 14:42

@BabyO1988 - Hmm well I'd say the second from bottom is closest to a positive. When were the last 2 done?
Maybe keep doing them later this afternoon/evening and see what's up, or if you missed the positive in the middle of the last two sometime.

MotherOfShihTzus · 12/03/2019 14:42

@BabyO1988 hello and welcome! Last but one, looks the darkest to me :)

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 14:48

@starkid and @MotherOfShihTzus - thank you. X

I did last one this morning and the two before that yesterday. We dtd last night as I wasn't sure if it was a positive or not. Going to dtd today and tomorrow to cover it too. Going to keep using the opks and see if I get some more dark ones. Been testing the last 10 days and it's the darkest I've had it.
I'm trying to be positive but I'm not hopeful this month x

starkid · 12/03/2019 14:52

@BabyO1988 - I'd definitely say to do another 2 today and tonight, as doing it in the morning isn't meant to be accurate for whatever reason. But yeah good idea with DTD the next 2 days so fully covered! Smile

Lozzlepop · 12/03/2019 14:57

@BabyO1988 I would also say the second last one looks the darkest to me and i've squinted a lot at OPKs. Try downloading the Glow app, you can take a picture of the result and it will tell you where on the scale you are, I have found it really useful

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 15:06

Thanks @Lozzlepop I've just tried it there and it's the last one before the positive result. So I'm guessing it's not ovulation. Or could it still be but just not quite matches on the scanner? Ahh this is so frustrating x

MrsAW2018 · 12/03/2019 15:07

@BostonFern thank you! How are you doing?

@KittieKath Thank you - it's been good to have a break but glad to be back in the TTC gang! How are things?

Thanks @cupcakesandglitter ~ welcome back to you too! Hope you're well and ready to start TTC again Xx

@MrsH497 Thank you! Feels good to be back and catch up with everyone!

@FlapJackered thank you - so nervous already. Really sorry to hear about your MC😔 I hope you're doing okay xx

So my cousin has had a baby today and it's hurt. She's already got 2 kids and a stepdaughter but wanted another one to "blend" their family. I'm 7dpo and even though yesterday I said I wasn't desperate to test but for some reason Today I seem to be wanting to early test again. Arghhhh the TWW is horrific!

Lozzlepop · 12/03/2019 15:07

@BabyO1988 have you done another one today to compare?

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 15:10

@Lozzlepop yeah I did but it's not come out as strong. Yesterday's was probably a fluke! X

FlapJackered · 12/03/2019 15:19

@LokiCat I am so so sorry, it is completely heartbreaking. Take your time and don't put pressure on yourself to be ok, it takes time for head and body to recover. X

@starkid @BabySquid yay for cycle buddies! I hope my body behaves and ovulates when it is meant to!

@BabySquid You would think, but he seems to be ok with not much sex. 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I need to pull out the big guns, maybe a naked interpretative dance. 😂 💃
Getting the thyroid checked is quite important with ttc so I am surprised the doc fobbed you off. My sister did an online on from Thriva, which showed her she was hypothyroid and she then got her docs to prescribe medication from that. I am getting mine checked again as although I am on medication I am worried it is that which caused my MC. 😕
I think my sis found a discount code so if you're interested let me know and I will ask her.

@cupcakesandglitter that is great you're ttc again! We have missed you here!
I am ok, I have wobbly moments but it helps to focus on ttc. Getting naked is a good one. It makes it hard for him to say no, i have lost my confidence a bit since all of this has happened so I need to get my va va voom back! What cd are you on now?

@MrsR16 good tips, naked seems to be the way forward! 😂

@BabyO1988 I would say there is a positive there! Get bding!

starkid · 12/03/2019 15:59

@BabyO1988 - maybe yesterday was the positive then, if fainter today :)
