Thankyou @LokiCat @ValidUser ❤️❤️

@cupcakesandglitter congrats!
Just marking my place as still lurking in the background during my 2 months off. Trying to not really think about TTC whilst having acupuncture to keep stress and worry down.
Hope everyone's all good and congrats on all the other BFP's! ☺️💖

MrsH497 · 27/07/2019 13:56

Hop you're ok @ValidUser
@Lozzlepop how are you doing lovely?
@ELW85 how's it all going?

@cupcakesandglitter genuinely could not be happier for you x

cupcakesandglitter · 27/07/2019 14:50

Thanks @Kiza xx

Thankyou lovely @MrsH497 you've been with me from the very start, although it's a pain it's taking us so long I'm glad we have had each other ❤️ xxx

ELW85 · 27/07/2019 15:58

@LokiCat - sounds like your weekend plans are taken care of 😂 I hope you’re well?

@MrsH497 - I’m good thank you, how are you? Got the scan on Wednesday so slightly nervous but still have symptoms so fingers crossed it’s good news 🤞🏻

@ValidUser - ah that’s good news! I hope you’ve got time with your DH this weekend as it definitely sounds like you’re about to Ov!

Whatnext11 · 27/07/2019 17:06

Hi everyone, haven't been able to read all through the thread but it's really good to see we're not alone! You seem like a lovely bunch :)

Anny27 · 27/07/2019 18:33

@ELW85 thank you! Feeling a bit deflated about BFN but as you say, not over till AF arrives. Hope your scan goes well xx

@LokiCat thanks! Good that you have started SMEP this month - hope you manage to mantain enthusiasm haha!

@cupcakesandglitter haha i think everyone has such elaborate plans of how they will tell DH but probably most women are too excited and tell straight away as well :p

@validuser the EWCM sounds promissing :D

Have had a trip to ikea today which i always love haha

MrsH497 · 27/07/2019 18:51

@cupcakesandglitter I totally agree! I knew you'd get your happy ever after just like @MrsEG. I will keep everything crossed been sticks! How many weeks are you do you think?

@ELW85 I'm ok we started SMEP last night! DH seems quite chuffed with the plan so far 😂 fingers crossed it works! How many weeks are you?

Xx

ellarosee · 27/07/2019 18:56

Huge congratulations @cupcakesandglitter what an anniversary present! Xx

ELW85 · 27/07/2019 19:40

Thank you, @Anny27 - I’m doing my best to stay positive!

@MrsH497 - haha!! I’m pleased DH is up for the challenge, and will keep everything crossed for you this cycle!
I’m 5 and a bit weeks, will be 6 at the scan so staying hopeful we get good news and super hopeful there’s a heartbeat! 🤞🏻

LokiCat · 27/07/2019 20:06

@ValidUser EWCM sounds positive! Hope you are ovulating 🤞🏽

@ELW85 haha yeah a very busy weekend ahead Grin I'm good thanks, lovely. How are you doing?

@Anny27 haha thanks! I'm just worried the heat will deflate us. Will have to have the fun on full blast during.. 😂 ooh I love a good IKEA trip! Did you get anything?

@MrsH497 we're trying SMEP for the first time this cycle and DH was raring to go when I explained it to him. I told him realistically he'll probably get tired very soon...

cupcakesandglitter · 27/07/2019 20:15

@Anny27 definitely 😂

@MrsH497 thankyou lovely, I'm technically 6 weeks but I know I only ovulated 2 weeks ago so I think I'm four weeks 😊 XX

Thanks @ellarosee xx

MIW01 · 27/07/2019 21:12

Well, if you'd all like a laugh this evening. In his own words, DP thought I was supposed to stick the thermometer in my fanny! Grin

Makingawish · 27/07/2019 21:15

@MIW01 hahaha brilliant. Typical man comment 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

ValidUser · 27/07/2019 21:36

@MIW01 fanny. 😂

MIW01 · 27/07/2019 21:38

@Makingawish I know right! I creased up! Grin

@LokiCat sorry for being thick here, SMEP?

Anny27 · 27/07/2019 21:48

@LokiCat we got some a new kitchen storage unit which i am very excited about!! (my teenage self would have a big old laugh at he stuff that brings me joy these days haha)

After noting all my TWW symptoms for the past 2 cycles, i have noticed that they my pre period symptoms are very similar to early pregnancy which is rubbish. Next month i wont track it and hopefully i am less obsessive

ValidUser · 27/07/2019 21:55

@MIW01 google sperm meets egg plan

georgiarclark11 · 27/07/2019 22:51

I am trying for a baby but some months I just don’t get a period! (Have some tests - not preg) have always been irregular but am starting to panic about it.. I know these things take time but what can I do if I’m just not ovulating!?

FlapJackered · 27/07/2019 23:20

Oh my God!! I just popped on to catch up and @cupcakesandglitter CONGRATULATIONS! I am so so happy for you, you deserve it! We have been on these boards for a long time together and I have been rooting for you! Please keep us updated! How did your DH take it? I bet he is over the moon. ❤️❤️

cupcakesandglitter · 28/07/2019 00:12

Thankyou my love @FlapJackered 😭❤️❤️ I know, I said the same to @MrsH497 how amazing is it that we have gone through every up and down together? 😭 DH is still in shock but ecstatic, he told his mum straightaway because he couldn't hold it in! I just keep sitting there thinking like we had less than 1% chance with his morphology being so bad, and it's literally taken that one 😭 of course I'll keep you updated!!! It's been 13 long horrible cycles but I can't believe I finally have it 😭 going for an early scan at 7 weeks and keeping everything crossed until then!!! Xx

MrsH497 · 28/07/2019 01:55

@LokiCat 😂its all fun and games I reckon the first few days!! I just hope it works. I read it was originally "designed" or thought of for women post miscarriage and it meant to increase success from 20-25% chance each month to 40%.

@cupcakesandglitter you and @ELW85 will be almost due date buddies! I'm so happy for you and hubby xx

cupcakesandglitter · 28/07/2019 02:19

Ooh yes @ELW85 we'll be like a week out with EDD?!! 🎉

Thankyou @MrsH497 it means a lot ❤️❤️

FlapJackered · 28/07/2019 07:15

@cupcakesandglitter it is SUCH amazing news! Bless your DH! It definitely gives me hope as my DH's morphology is low too.
How bad was your DH's morphology? Did you do anything differently this cycle?
I will keep everything crossed you have a smooth ride to the scan at 7 weeks. Xxx

ELW85 · 28/07/2019 08:37

Morning all!
Treating myself to a few hours in bed with candles on and watching trash TV. Basically, living the dream!!

@LokiCat - I’m good thank you my love! Had a crazy week at work last week and think I'll be walking into a shit storm tomorrow, but that’s a different day so I’m putting it to the back of my mind for now!
I hope being away with work went well and that you don’t have to do it again for a while?

@cupcakesandglitter - how exciting!! According to my LMP and cycle length, I’m due on DH’s Birthday 🎂 so 22nd March. I realise it’ll probably be massively late, but that’s the current position 😂 how about you?
