@Lozzlepop so sorry you’re having such a bad time! Flowers hope you had a lovely lunch!

@Anny27 my temp has had a bit rise against too! I was googling and learnt of an implantation dip! So I’ll be looking out for this! Have you had this when pregnant? I’m still a bit crampy and I have lots of creamy CM and I’m usually very dry after ovulation right until my AF 🤞🏼

@timswifey still so buzzing for you 😁 I’m sure you found it hard to concentrate at work! How did Tim take the news?

whatsthecraic91 · 18/01/2020 20:15
  • a big rise again too

My spelling isn’t usually this bad - is that a symptom? 😂😂

timswifey · 18/01/2020 20:43

Ooh @whatsthecraic91 what CD are you? Little cramps have been pretty much my only symptom.

timswifey · 18/01/2020 20:55

Sorry for multiple messages - it's my phone grrr! Tim very happy and excited 💕

KittieKath · 18/01/2020 22:38

@timswifey I suggest not getting TOO excited about going to the doctors... I waited a week for an appointment, and then it was such an anti-climax. They didn't even test me. Just asked my weight and height, and gave me a flu jab. Then sent me off again to organise my own midwife appointment online! Hmm ha ha!!

georgiexo · 19/01/2020 08:16

Guys I'm freaking out. Just done a first response test bang on 2 weeks after conception and it's positive!!!

I'm going to do more but wtf 😭😢😭😭😭😭 shaking

Hello everyone,

I keep trying to get back into messaging and then get side tracked with work etc, so busy at the moment, but missing having you all to chat too!

What a time to come back on though, @timswifey and @georgiexo, congratulations to you both! amazing news!

@lozzlepop I'm so sorry, what you are going through is so awful, sending lots of love

@anny27 how you getting on? Think we were similar cycles? I'm CD22 and 9dpo, my apps say I've Ov'd on cd13, really early for me. It's so strange since we started the fertility appointments I seem to be ovulating earlier, no idea why, previously it was 16-19 I usually only have a 10 day luteal phase tho, so af should arrive Tuesday 🙄

Anny27 · 19/01/2020 13:13

Happy sunday girls :D 7dpo and no real symptoms apart from cramps at 5dpo and backpain

@Lottiepink hey lovely, it's hard to keep up sometimes isnt it! Yep I am 7dpo today, ovulated a few days later than normal this cycle! AF due next Sunday 😬😬 will you test early or wait for AF?

@georgiexo congratulations 🥳🥳

@timswifey I remember being alarmed by the cramps in early pregnancy but they are very normal, just the uterus expanding :D so exciting for you! End of september due date?

@whatsthecraic91 creamy CM sounds promissing 🙌🙌🙌 I actually didnt have an implantation dip when I was pregnant but I know that quite a few people do have them! I had a cycle without being pregnant when i had a dip as well. So it's a guessing game haha!

whatsthecraic91 · 19/01/2020 13:30

@timswifey CD21 today ovulated early this cycle CD13, well that could have been when I’ve been ovulating all along but just didn’t know as I wasn’t temping! Now I think of it I always assumed I was CD16-18 so could be the reason I haven’t caught yet 🤞🏼 I have no symptoms at all today! How are you feeling?

@georgiexo congratulations 🥳

@Lottiepink @anny27 we are all around the same this cycle! CD21 today and 7/8DPO 😁 when should we start testing 😜😅

Zero symptoms today ☹️ I feel completely normal, had crampies and creamy CM a couple of days ago but that’s it 😕

Anny27 · 19/01/2020 13:38

@whatsthecraic91 the cycle I conceived I remember saying on here "i have no symptoms" - literally only had the cramps and then at 10-12dpo I was shattered and really hot at night so decided to test.

So there is every bit of hope! I know this is silly but I really am expecting a bfp for you this month. I reaaaaaaly hope I am right

Lozzlepop · 19/01/2020 18:13

Hi ladies!

Well annoyingly the place we went for lunch yesterday was closed for its winter break still 🙈 so had to make do with a subway lol!

@Kiza ah it’s just a little white lie, sounds a really positive outcome and fret to know there’s a plan if you don’t get your bfp before then!

@Anny27 thanks lovely! Yeah I know, I look back and do wonder how we’ve got through it to be honest- it’s really tough!

@timswifey here you don’t even see the doctor you just self refer to the midwife so I wouldn’t worry too much! Glad to hear Tim is thrilled ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 thanks ❤️ Deffo feel this has been the worst experience pain wise!

@georgiexo congratulations ❤️

@Lottiepink thanks lovely! How’s things with you? How have the appointments been?

@whatsthecraic91 I have only felt “pregnant” once because I felt really nauseous but the rest of the times I have felt normal so don’t count yourself out yet!

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday, I’ve had a regression and am in so much pain again 😭 really hoping this is over soon, I’m so over it now!

georgiexo · 19/01/2020 18:20

Thank you everyone! I'm shitting it for the next 8-10 weeks. I will leave this thread now as not to make anyone upset but I wish you all so so so much luck! You've all been great to read. You're not alone and it WILL happen for you ❤️❤️❤️

whatsthecraic91 · 19/01/2020 19:13

@Anny27 awk thank you so much reading that really made me smile 😊 I hope it’s your month too 🤞🏼

@Lozzlepop Flowers

@georgiexo wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months x

Forgot to say yesterday I lost another 1lb 😁 that’s not walking either, I really need to get back into it again! 4lbs to go!!

Also I’m treating myself to a baileys tonight, 17 days alcohol free is pretty good I reckon! Would have broken it before the end of the month anyway as I’m for Kraków on the 29th! Have a nice evening all 😘

timswifey · 19/01/2020 21:02

Hehe thanks for keeping my feet on the ground @KittieKath

Congrats @georgiexo !! How far along are you? I reckon I'm 4+5 today.

@Anny27 yes Sep 22nd - have hardly had any symptoms today apart from raging hunger and thirst and feeling tired, actually now I think about it I had terrible insomnia last night and was awake for hours! Could be hormones I guess.

Ooh fingers crossed @whatsthecraic91 !!

@Lozzlepop I'm so sorry - do you have a free day tomorrow or are you working?

MIW01 · 19/01/2020 21:06

Sorry to hear it's been rough @Lozzlepop

Fingers crossed for you @whatsthecraic91

Hope all is well @Lottiepink

It's all very frustrating when thi is don't work out the way you want! I think we all are all very patient and virtuous in this journey!

1990shopefulftm · 19/01/2020 21:13

congratulations both of you :)

it's funny that griefs been mentioned, my first cycle I lost my grandad a couple of weeks prior but felt mentally like I'd come to terms with it very quickly but it ended up being a 26-day cycle instead of 28.

Hoping it's going to be back to normal this one so AF i think is due thursday evening so I m waiting until then to test at least.

georgiexo · 19/01/2020 21:19

@timswifey bang on 4 today i reckon xx

Lozzlepop · 19/01/2020 21:35

@timswifey we’re both working from home tomorrow thankfully as the hospital appointment is smack bang in the middle of the day 😒

timswifey · 20/01/2020 03:37

Best of luck for the appointment @Lozzlepop 💕

p.s. hi insomnia!! This is so unlike me.

whatsthecraic91 · 20/01/2020 08:12

@Lozzlepop hope all goes well today Flowers

I am insanely moody today, already been asked twice at work if I’m grumpy and I’ve only been here 11 minutes, yea because you asking me that won’t make it worse 🤔🤔 both by men too, why are men such idiots 😐

Lottiepink · 20/01/2020 11:58

@anny27 you've ov'd later and me earlier ha! No I won't text, I've always been good that way anyways, but will only test if my app tells me too haha!

@whatsthecraic91 when will you likely test? I don't usually do it as I hate seeing a negative :( oh I'm defo getting close to AF coz I'm in a right mood with life today 🤣 my DH is doing my head in (not really done anything wrong) just CBA with him today 😂😂 men are the wrong people to ask when you are having one of them days. Hope the rest of your day gets better 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@lozzlepop waiting for DH to do next SA which planning on doing in a week I think 😊 hope all goes as well as it can today!

@MIW01 not too bad thank you, gonna get DH second SA done then it will be more tests for me I think! How are you?

whatsthecraic91 · 20/01/2020 14:29

@Lottiepink I really don’t know, I did say to DP I will wait to Saturday as that’s when AF is due and only if my temp is still up. But.... this is me and I’ll probably start testing Wednesday 😅 I’ll be 11DPO so it’s not that early really 😂 negative doesn’t even affect me anymore I’m just like 🤷🏼‍♀️ I always get moody before AF too but I’m hoping it can also mean pregnant so fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏼

Anny27 · 20/01/2020 14:58

Hey girls :D

8dpo and TMI but super constipated 🙈🙈 and I gagged when the office toilet smelt bad. But the gagging could just be me being a princess 🤣🤣

@Lozzlepop how did it go today lovely xx

@whatsthecraic91 yep I will be testing on Thursday at 11dpo so 🤞🤞

@Lottiepink you have self restraint then 🤣 something that I do not have with pregnancy tests.....

@1990shopefulftm not long for you to wait to test then!! :D

@timswifey ahh thats a lovely due date 🥰🥰🥰 and yep pregnancy insomnia is real haha

@MIW01 yep patience has been tested this year!

Lozzlepop · 20/01/2020 15:13

Hi ladies!

Thank you all so much for checking in and your kind words ❤️
Well everything was clear at the scan- I am beyond relieved that I don't need any further treatment or the operation. I can put this chapter behind us and focus on our upcoming appointment and all the lovely things we have to look forward to and TTC will be taking a very big back seat for now.

@timswifey urgh insomnia is the worst, I would drop off fine then BAM 3pm would come and I would be awake 🙈I'm sure all the excitement won't be helping! Did you get your docs appointment made?

@whatsthecraic91 has your mood improved any? I hate when people ask that - its the one thing thats guaranteed to put you in a mood. A friend of a friend text my friend (confusing I know) asking if I was pregnant as I had a bloated face in a picture I had posted on Instagram (firstly HOW RUDE 🤣) Neither of them know about #4 but I was shocked- keep yer nose oot hen!

@Lottiepink thats great, sound like things are moving in the right direction for you guys!

@Anny27 haha I am here with you in the constipation boat- having a double strength coffee and hoping for the best lol! Hopefully these are all good signs but I know how much a stinky loo can set me off at the best of times!
