ValidUser · 12/07/2019 21:12

Thanks @Anny27. Hopefully we'll all get sticky babies soon. X

Oh @ValidUser so sorry lovely xx

ValidUser · 12/07/2019 21:33

@MrsH497 thank you. If this had stuck, he/she may have had 5 heads. That would be a tough baby to breastfeed. 😂 Hoping for a less transient BFP soon. X

@ValidUser - morning matey, so, so sorry to read about that. You’re a wonderful lady with an amazing attitude and I have every faith that you’ll get your sticky little one soon ❤️ I know the chips and Prosecco aren’t much of a consolation, but be kind to yourself.

@Lozzlepop - a month is ridiculous. Can you go ahead with repairs via home insurance instead?

I’m about to embark on a day off ritual of a coffee and toastie in bed. Rock n roll.
I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday 😊

Larrydavid · 13/07/2019 07:11

@ValidUser I'm so sorry. That sucks. You have an amazing, resilient attitude and it will happen for you. I'm sorry it wasn't this month ❤️

newgirl89 · 13/07/2019 08:13

Morning Ladies, hope you are all well.

Just wanted to say what an amazing group you all are - all so supportive and encouraging!!

Also congratulations on all the BFPs! It's so exciting to see / read!

Have you got space for one more in your group?!

Me and DP have only just started TTC. So very new to me. Would love people to talk to.

Have a great Saturday xxx

XjustagirlX · 13/07/2019 08:16

I just took a frer. It was negative. I’m ok though as I know it’s probably too early to test. I’m only 9 or 10 dpo. I should see if I get any spotting today. My boobs are so sore though and I swear my nipples are bigger and darker.

ELW85 · 13/07/2019 08:24

Welcome, @newgirl89 - definitely space for you! And you’re right, everyone is wonderful, knowledgeable and supportive so you’ve found a lovely group of ladies here!

@XjustagirlX - fingers crossed for you that spotting doesn’t show! When are you planning on testing?

Lozzlepop · 13/07/2019 08:49

@MrsH497 to be fair it’s the first major issue that we’ve had, all our other snagging is just superficial! How are you feeling today?

@ValidUser ahh lovely I am so gutted for you! You’ve been on such a journey so far and you really deserve that BFP although not a 5 headed baby 😂 take care of yourself this weekend and onwards and upwards for your next cycle!!

@ELW85 I think for the first 2 years everything major needs to go through the housebuiler to remedy 🤷🏽‍♀️ We’ve got pics and are on the case, thankfully the rain has stopped! Oooh yum to the toastie, I made DP go make me a tea and he came back with digestives for the nausea 👌🏻

@ hello and welcome 👋🏻 Always space for one more! Are you tracking your cycle with OPKs or temping?

@XjustagirlX it’s still early so maybe see if you can hold out till Monday if AF doesn’t show?

What’s everyone’s Saturday plans?

ELW85 · 13/07/2019 08:59

@Lozzlepop - ah I hadn’t realised that! What a nightmare! Hopefully we have a dry month so you don’t have to worry too much about it :)
Aww DH sounds lovely! Pleased you’re getting looked after :)

Well today is more bathroom shopping for me and getting the FRERs collected for tomorrow’s testing party 🥳 haha!
I’m not too hopeful but my temps have stayed up nicely which is good.
If they dip tomorrow (they usually do a day before AF) I don’t think I’ll waste the FRER.

How about you? Any plans that won’t antagonise the nausea? 😊

Imjustme2019 · 13/07/2019 09:06

Hi ladies, welcome to the new ladies.

Sorry @ValidUser, hope you enjoyed the curry chips and prosseco.

@LokiCat and @ELW85 I sleep with the fan on 365 days too, it's routine and the sound I think.

Off to lunch with my friend who's just announced she's expecting her second, she knew we were trying so wondered how I'd take the news. Told her not to be daft.

newgirl89 · 13/07/2019 09:19

@ELW85 thank you very much

@Lozzlepop this is literally the first month so haven't got a clue about tracking. Any tips definitely welcome!

Lozzlepop · 13/07/2019 09:40

@ELW85 unfortunately in Scotland you can’t count on dry summers! Yes, he has his moments hehe! Oooh I love looking at house bits I actually have a home Instagram account 😂 fingers crossed that they stay up lovely! We are due to have a bbq with friends and then a 30th tonight so trying to decide what my excuse is 😂😂

@newgirl89 I used OPKs so the first month we used those we got our BFP, sadly we had a MMC so when we were ready to try again we done the SMEP plan this time around and had first time success! I just used the cheap one step tests from amazon and the Glow app which lets you take a picture of the result and you can keep track that way! ☺️

XjustagirlX · 13/07/2019 09:46

@ELW85 @Lozzlepop as af is due on Monday I think I will still test tomorrow and Monday. I just can’t help myself. Obviously I won’t if I get spotting today or tomorrow.

ValidUser · 13/07/2019 11:12

Thanks everyone. Third round of injections starts tonight!

LokiCat · 13/07/2019 11:40

@ValidUser I'm so sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself and I hope the next cycle will be kinder to you! I have all hope that you'll have a sticky bean soon ❤️

@Lozzlepop that's crazy that they won't come earlier than a month! Fingers crossed no more rain!
I follow so many home accounts on Instagram! I love getting bits for the house and doing ours up.
Hope you manage to come up with an excuse for tonight 😂 has your nausea got any better?

@ELW85 ooh toastie in bed sounds brilliant. I hope bathroom shopping is more successful today. I think I'm just going to test on a cheapie tomorrow. if I don't see a line I won't waste a FRER. Will then wait till AF is hopefully late 🤞🏽

@newgirl89 welcome to the group and the TTC journey! Do you know where you are in your current cycle?

@Imjustme2019 it definitely took getting used to when I first moved in with DH but now after 2 years it feels weird without it 😂
Enjoy your lunch!

@XjustagirlX sorry about the bfn! Sore boobs and darker nipples sounds positive. I hope the spotting stays away 🤞🏽

I have another day of varnishing the balcony as DH is away at work today. Got some tunes and a cold drink ready to keep me going! 😂
Going to look for some recipes to make something different for dinner tonight 🤔 not sure what I'm in the mood for! Any suggestions?

Hope you ladies have a lovely Saturday ❤️

Lottiepink · 13/07/2019 13:24

@ValidUser I'm so sorry :( really had my fingers crossed for you, hope the Prosecco and curry chips helped a little! Good luck with the injections, and hopefully this will be your month x

MrsH497 · 13/07/2019 13:58

@Lozzlepop to be fair since we had the gas leak and bath leak it's all been good and we've been here 4.5 years.
I'm ok today oddly. 8/9dpo today not feeling lucky this month though

Fivebyfive2 · 13/07/2019 14:44

@ValidUser, I'm really sorry hun, keeping everything crossed for you that it happens soon. You have an amazing attitude and are awesome xxx

ELW85 · 13/07/2019 16:33

Afternoon all!

I hope everyone is getting on ok?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo of Caroline, so here she is to cheer up a rainy Saturday afternoon!

I’ve picked up the FRERs just in case, but I’m feeling pretty crampy now after not feeling anything earlier so I’m pretty sure they won’t be needed.

@LokiCat - the toastie was amazing, DH has made sure it’s been a lovely day together!
How about making lasagne, so DH can have some later? Maybe I’m just in the mood for Italian food 😂
Bathroom shopping was good but still looks eye watering price wise. Boo.

@Lozzlepop - I reckon you’re onto a winner with dry for July?
We had lunch out before, and DH denied me blue cheese...just in case. I hope your BBQ gives you some nice preggers-friendly food that you don’t get blocked from 😂

@ValidUser I’m so sorry hun, I really want this to happen for you so badly! Your attitude is amazing and wishing you all the luck and the best of vibes with this next cycle x

MrsLBear · 13/07/2019 17:09

Ah so gutted for you @ValidUser but like you said it has now given you the reassurance that it'll happen. Hope you enjoyed the prosecco!

MrsH497 · 13/07/2019 18:49

This is something to brighten up a cloudy muggy Saturday the Naomi rose x
