Hi all!

Hope you're all well... congrats for all the BFPs I've missed!

I'm currently CD20 and still waiting for a positive OPK 😩. Getting frustrated now tbh. Think we've decided if this cycle doesn't work we'll get a second hand Ava bracelet to do my temps for me. Willing to throw everything at it really.

ValidUser · 08/04/2019 15:34

So I'm about 3 DPO here and handling it pretty we given that it's really the first month we have a chance (and at that, my left tube may have some crud so we may need to repeat the HSG).

How many children do you all want? I really want 3.

smitch82 · 08/04/2019 15:38

@MrsAW2018 I have used the Ava. It is really good for temping and you can switch settings too for pregnancy so it is not just for one stage. I have a discount code for a new one if you want... gives you £20 off (and gives me £20 back) but totally understand if you can get a 2nd hand one cheaper. Just make sure you get the 2.0 (latest one)! It give interesting stats but took a while to get used to it and how long to charge etc (basically all day and wear at night) and the syncing sometimes needs to have the app re opened.

smitch82 · 08/04/2019 15:39

@thosethreewords I had really bad cramps which work me up so hopefully it is a good sign (not that I want to get any hopes up as I would hate that!) x

smitch82 · 08/04/2019 15:41

@ValidUser my sisters both have 4! With my age I would love 2 but I am happy with any healthy children to be honest! I always said if we couldn't have kids I would have more cats but mine is such a princess she wouldn't allow for another cat! She is going to hate this baby 😂

KatBeCool · 08/04/2019 15:52

@FlapJackered bfn. No sign of AF, temps still up. I'm going to wait until next week if nothing happens, like AF or even spotting, and request a blood test since I don't want to stop taking progesterone if I actually still need it.

rose555 · 08/04/2019 16:39

@thosethreewords your nighttime episode sounds uncomfortable.... but very promising if @smitch82 experience is anything to go by! The timing sounds good too. Fingers and toes crossed for you! Keep us posted.
I’ve had nothing new today. I think maybe a few tiny twinges but much weaker than yesterday and I may just be imagining things! AF due tomorrow so I did a final test this morning and got another BFN. I am now just going to wait. I read that implantation now (at 11/12DPO) would be very late and pretty unlikely so trying to keep a lid on yesterday’s hopes. Maybe TMI but I did a cervical examination today also... no idea really what I’m doing but wondered if I might find early signs of AF which to my relief, I didn’t.
I’ve also just contacted an acupuncturist on a friend’s recommendation. Thought I might give that a try as I’ve had a few friends suggest it and figured it can’t hurt... even if it just relaxes me after work! Does anyone have any experience of accupuncture in fertility?

ValidUser · 08/04/2019 16:40

@smitch82 we have 3 cats. They will hopefully tolerate human kittens. 😂

smitch82 · 08/04/2019 16:52

@ValidUser I hope so. She is my first baby. Love her way too much 😂

She's gorgeous @smitch82. I think you love her the exact right amount.

@smitch82 she is adorable. I have a 13year old madam cat too who hates all other cats and barely tolerates DH. God help us if a baby comes into the mix she will just stare at it from a safe distance LOL

thosethreewords · 08/04/2019 17:47

@smitch82 @rose555 I hope so! I also saw 4 magpies together this morning which is quite unusual for round here!

@ValidUser ideally I would like 3, because me and DH are one of 3 and we love having two siblings!

Im not sure how my dog will take it either. I do love my dog so much! I need to train her to sleep in her own bed again though because at the moment she sleeps on ours!

One from when she was a pup last year and one from the other day ❤️

Honestly she now loves DH as much as me. Although will choose me of it comes to it but she growls at the door like a dog if someone else comes round! Confused

ValidUser · 08/04/2019 18:13

@thosethreewords she's a beauty! ❤️

AysLon · 08/04/2019 18:20

@Smitch82 ha ha mine does that. She also runs to the top of the stairs when anyone knocks at the door so she can look down on anyone who comes in, like we are peasants and she is the queen!

Headswim · 08/04/2019 18:24

@rose555 36 and ttc #1, cycle 4, 4dpo and experiencing sharp twinges all over abdomen area and acute tiredness. Both unusual but trying not to read into it. 🤔

@smitch82 huge congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

Here's a pick of my little lady Donnie.

Headswim · 08/04/2019 18:24

Here she is

Headswim · 08/04/2019 18:25

Hmm looks like it's not letting me post a pic 😑

KatBeCool · 08/04/2019 18:52

@thosethreewords what kind of dog is she? Looks a lot like a bigger version of mine.

cupcakesandglitter · 08/04/2019 19:01

Congrats @smitch82 xx

@FlapJackered sorry she reappeared - if I remember right mine might've been after my CP so maybe your body is just adjusting? I'm thinking about going private too - the wait is too agonising!!! X

@Jessikka we're at separate GPs too, my doctor told me to tell DH he's recommending a SA, they were fine about it x

@ValidUser I'm with you, I want three 😂😂 x

@KatBeCool sorry to hear you're still in limbo. Fx you get your BFP by then x

Omg I love looking at little fur babies - these are my two, my little children ❤️

@Jessikka aww how cute!! Love that they pose together!
@cupcakesandglitter they are both so gorgeous!
@KatBeCool she's a cockapoo - she's currently clipped but this is what she looks like "normally". Yours is gorgeous! What's yours?

smitch82 · 08/04/2019 20:10

Oh your fur babies are all so cute! Molly would not be having any other fur friends in photos! 😂 @AysLon she also does that queen thing! She is basically the queen of the house

Fivebyfive2 · 08/04/2019 20:13

Loving all the pet pics! This is our 8 year old rescue cat, had him 5 years now! Maximo 🙂
