@Mumofboys17 yeah I think we are our own worst enemies when it comes to Ttc and put loads of pressure on ourselves! That's what makes it hard... That's why we've decided to do that test and if everything is okay then I k ow it'll happen when it happens. As long as you dtd regular enough you'll hit the right time :)
It's hard not to pressure yourself but I'm really at the point of enough is enough lol.
I have had no pms symptoms whereas I'm normally quite emotional but I feel great! I think taking that dong quai has really helped with my pms symptoms which is amazing. Yes I'm due Sunday, when are you due? Xx

Mumofboys17 · 26/06/2020 15:06

@Missgoldilocks well that's good if nothing else! I get really emotional too when AF is near! Like proper teary about the stupidest things 🙄😂
I'm due on Tuesday 😬 this has felt like the longest TWW ever though dunno why 😂 got a busy weekend coming up though so hopefully I'll be too preoccupied to symptom spot or think about stuff for a few days xx

@LV1987 hope you're ok?

Can't believe it's down to us now this thread was booming a couple of months ago!! 😫 saved the best til last obvs 🙃😂

@Mumofboys17 yessss it was dragging for me too! But since about Tuesday or something I've literally said my period is coming and fully believed it😂 so I know I'm not waiting for anything hahaha
Sorry in my last message I was talking about you, with the if you do it regular you'll hit the right time every month anyway! You should keep on trying because it will happen but maybe try not to track I guess? I know it's so hard lol like if there is a next month then track your ovulation but afterwards tell yourself it hasn't happened. I dunno its hard because you really have to believe it hasn't happened 😂😩 I knoooow haha me and you boo! We will get there. It would be amazing if we fell same month 😂

@katie1109 how are you chick? X

LV1987 · 27/06/2020 11:43

Hiiiiiiiiiii! I'm still lurking about, but at CD10 with just under two more weeks until O day, there's not much to report. Period vacated a few days ago and we've not even managed a single shag thanks to the heat! Just recieved the good news that we get the kids for an extra few days as their flight has been rescheduled, so enjoying that before FW finally hits. I've even managed to get him to take some vitamins this month 😱

Missgoldilocks · 27/06/2020 12:48

@LV1987 glad to hear!!! Do they live in Asia then? I've started brown spotting cd28 so af is on her way I feel fine about it because I knew it was coming lol so once I have full flow it's time to ring up the tube checking team 😬😬 I'm well scared looks painful!

LV1987 · 27/06/2020 12:53

They live in Worcester, but they half family in Thailand so are making a trip back there with their mum. Bit nervous about them going in the circumstances, not going to lie!

Oh man, I'm sorry about the spotting. Sending hugs even though you say you're OK, because it's still tough xx

Snowwhite2020 · 27/06/2020 15:49

Anyone got thoughts about white noise machines for newborns? I’ve got a few friends that swear by them. The my hummy has come up but also night lights which have white noise like the hatch baby rest xx

Snowwhite2020 · 27/06/2020 15:51

Oh my god girls I’m so sorry I meant to post this in another group. I have open threads and clicked on the wrong one. I hope you are all good. Love to you all especially @Missgoldilocks and @Katie1109. I hope you’re doing well Katie. Much love to you xx

Snowwhite2020 · 27/06/2020 15:51

So sorry again I am such an idiot 🙈

Missgoldilocks · 27/06/2020 19:49

@snowwhite2020 don't worry lovely!! I hope you're well 🥰🤗 🤗 ❤️

Snowwhite2020 · 27/06/2020 20:15

@Missgoldilocks thanks for understanding babe. What an idiot I am. How you been getting on? Was reading you were thinking about further testing? Good luck. I think information is power. @Katie1109 I was so sorry to hear about your news recently. Really good that you are going to try again. All my love to you both xx

Mumofboys17 · 27/06/2020 21:31

@Snowwhite2020 if it helps we've used white noise on DS since a few months of age, he's 2 years now but we still use it! It really calms him and helps him stay asleep longer. Personally wouldn't bother with Ewan or myhummy (we tried both), just get a white noise speaker, we got ours from eBay for about £12 and it's still going strong now 😊

@Missgoldilocks I caved and had a cervix poke this morning, it's dropped and feels firmer so expecting AF in a few days 🙁 I know you're right, just don't know why it's so bloody hard!! Urrrggghhhhh. How you feeling? Xxx

@LV1987 hope the vitamins help! I think I'm getting back on them next cycle too, will get DH to take his. Which ones did you decide on? Xx

Snowwhite2020 · 27/06/2020 21:52

Thanks @Mumofboys17! Great tip xx

Missgoldilocks · 27/06/2020 23:50

@snowwhite2020 @Mumofboys17 I have no idea what a white noise thing is! God they never had that when I had my son 😂 I don't think anyway lol ill be looking into all these new gadgets one day Kind of exciting 😊❤️ how far along are you now? Have you had a scan xx

@Mumofboys17 af just started for me like brown cm anyway just in the nick of time me and oh dtd for the fun of it 😂 I was like you have a few hours time slot before this bitch turns up lol. Hope you're feeling okay, I know it's shit 🤗❤️ honestly though I dunno how but something has switched off in my brain now and I'm like what will be will be no point stressing, feels like a weight has been lifted. Please don't be too down and look after yourself! Make your oh give you a nice massage 💆 god knows we need it monthly lol xx

Snowwhite2020 · 28/06/2020 08:50

@Missgoldilocks I’m sorry to hear the witch arrived. I think a massage sounds like a great idea and lots of chocolate! A white noise machine is supposedly something which plays loud white noise and babies like it/ it soothes them especially if they are having a tantrum or won’t go to sleep. I have a few friends who swear by them. You can buy toys that make the noise but I think I’m gonna go with advice from @Mumofboys17 and play it through a device (which we can then reuse later like an amazon dot). Apparently radio 4 is also good for soothing babies lol.

I’m nearly 19 weeks now and have been really lucky- all has been well with the pregnancy so far and looking forward to 20 week scan! The only difficulty for me was very bad sickness which lasted 24/7 until about 16 weeks and finally left completely at 17 weeks. I am now feeling much better but if any of you find yourself in this situation after you get your BFP don’t be afraid of meds! I have ended up on them and baby is fine and it was the only thing to get me through... never would have thought I would take meds whilst pregnant but I was vomiting blood at one point and you can end u in hospital etc. But my case was severe and 99% of people DO NOT get this so don’t worry! Just the way it was for me and the important thing is that the baby is just fine ❤️ Not finding out the gender as want o keep it a wee magic surprise 💖💙. Sorry for long message!

This thread is due another BFP... I know there will be one soon! Lots of love to you ladies. Keep going- lots of people on my due thread who had been trying well over a year sometimes several and they have their pregnancies now. It will happen. All my love to you xx

Missgoldilocks · 28/06/2020 09:09

@snowwhite2020 awww sorry to hear you had such a bad time like that, that's awful. Glad you're out at the other end though and all is well! Stay safe hun and thank you for your kind words :) xxxx

LV1987 · 28/06/2020 11:22

@missgoldilocks I am sorry that AF did get you 👎 onwards and upwards to your next month, it will happen ❤️❤️

Mumofboys17 · 28/06/2020 20:26

@Snowwhite2020 bless you. Thank you x
My AF is due Tuesday, no positive symptoms for me to cling on to so I know it's coming 🙄 just so bloody irritating (pardon the pun). It took us 18 months to conceive DS so I'm no stranger to the difficulty of trying, guess I just forgot how long and heartbreaking it can be!

@Missgoldilocks I know what you mean. I try so hard to count my blessings every day that I was able to even have one baby, as I know so many other women can't even successfully achieve that naturally. I guess it will happen eventually.. DS has started potty training now so it's literally taking all my energy and focus right now 😂 I'd be fucked if I had another on the way!! 😂😂 hopefully we'll both get there soon. Nothing else to do but keep trying I guess!! ❤️❤️

@LV1987 how long til your FW? Must be coming up soon for you hopefully?? X

OP posts:
LV1987 · 28/06/2020 20:31

@Mumofboys17 another week until the start of FW for me according to Femometer! But, I feel a little periody tonight, which I usually get a day or two before FW, so 🤞 for a shorter cycle this month x

Katie1109 · 29/06/2020 08:39

Morning ladies x how are we all? Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, needed some time away from MN to focus on our relationship x we’re doing really well, closed the chapter behind us now x I’ve still had tiny bits of hcg in my system last week, so it was reacting with my opks, not sure whether I ovulated or not but we’ve been DTD every other day for the fun of it since last week, so who knows x not really that bothered about this cycle, I’m just hoping af will arrive end of next week without any delays caused by MMC x
Fingers crossed for all of you xx

Katie1109 · 29/06/2020 08:42

Forgot to mention, I’m CD19 - counting CD1 as first day of MC bleed x usually 27-29 days cycles x

Missgoldilocks · 30/06/2020 14:55

@katie1109 glad you're doing well x

@Mumofboys17 how are you? Did af show? I'm booked in for my hycosy for the 9th July 😬😩 scared shitless x

Mumofboys17 · 30/06/2020 15:02

@Katie1109 will be interesting to see when/if AF shows for you! Of course - I hope it doesn't 😊 xx

@Missgoldilocks sorry about AF lovely. ❤️ wish I had some advice re hycosy but never been in that position!! I've just read a bit about it online and it does sound positive! Hopefully it'll help you xx
I'm due on today but no show yet. This happened last cycle though, normally comes first thing in the morning but I reckon it'll show up this evening. No symptoms but had some cramping. Bit the bullet and had a little cervix poke last night and it was low and hard. This morning high and soft again 😫 but - again - I'm this happened last cycle too and obvs wasn't pregnant so, we shall see! Xx

Hi Everyone!

Congratulations to all the BFP's so far, sending baby dust to you all! I've been following the thread for quite a while now but hope you don't mind me jumping on so late!

I'm 8dpo today so early I know, but been feeling nauseous the past few days and have had really sore boobs, decided to take a test this morning and was happily surprised as think it could be a faint positive??? Xx

New thread for the crazy gang - Part 5!
Mumofboys17 · 01/07/2020 09:34

@butterflyxo Hi, I think I can see something but I've had so many evaps on those cheapies I don't trust them anymore! Maybe wait a day or two and try a FRER? X

Well AF didn't show yesterday. Still nothing yet this morning, having lots of creamy/yellow cm but I don't want to test as just feel like the witch is teasing me 😫
How is everyone else doing?? Xx
