@OnNaturesCourse CONGRATULATIONS!!! 💓 Incredible news!

@lucyrp Your hair is amazing - princess hair 👸

@IshaPoet Congratulations! How are you feeling about the BFP?

@Minster2012 I can't ride a motorbike, but I have a car where you can pull the roof down. If you don't let me on the next bus, I'll chase after it 😆

@Noble89 Your description had me in stitches 😆

@JODI3 and @Newbie0818 My cycle is anywhere between 35 to 50 days so I feel with you!!

@smileyT Thank you. Keeping all my fingers crossed for everyone else too!

Does anyone else watch birth stories on YouTube? Find them fascinating because you realise how different every birth is! We are trying for our first so don't have anything to compare to.

@lucyrp have you tried herbal solutions to raising your progesterone in the luteal phase? That makes your temp rise. I’ve been trying out seed cycling this cycle as a lady on the May bus suggested it from her homeopath. Basically you eat pumpkin seeds and flax seed in your follicular phase until ovulation to support estrogen production, and then switch to sesame seed and sunflower seeds after ov to promote progesterone. I’ve just been putting a teaspoon (although you can go up to a tablespoon) of each in my smoothie each day. Worth a try? There’s other foods that boost progesterone too but I can’t remember them 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Minster2012 hahah no judgement on hair washing here if I could get away with washing it once a week I would but I just can't deal with having my hair scraped back it gives me head aches so have to wash it so it looks presentable and OH is terrible for commenting on my greasy hair and won't let me cuddle in if it's gross 😂 f**king fermometer on this miserable hump day

@Vil10 I know I sound ridiculous for listening to an app but worry about everything! I'm going to ignore it and if I don't get a BFP this month try some things to increase my progesterone next cycle xx

@Hogrider aww thank you, it doesn't look like that now mind🙈😂

@Newbie0818 I think it I don't get my BFP this cycle then I will try seed cycling next cycle as I don't actually mind eating seeds. I already have sunflower seeds at home as I don't mind munching on them and DS eats them for a snack☺️I think vitamin C rich foods are good for it too if I'm right

@Skip86 I feel you was, I was the same I got told at my first scan that I had no choice but to have a section (due to a large fibroid covering my cervix) and then they dropped the bombshell I wouldn't be awake for it either as i had to have a GA as they knew I was going to loose a lot of blood. I was devastated think I cried for days it hadn't occurred to me that I wouldn't be allowed to at least try giving birth naturally and then not even being awake to see my baby just tipped me over the edge.
But I now love my section scar, its my reminder that that's what saved mine and my boys life so I own the scar with pride.

I had a wee premie too mine was a 35 weeker at 5lb 2and I felt like he was so tiny and fragile so I can't imagine the size of yours being even earlier! Glad to hear they're healthy growing boys now :)

@lucyrp no you don’t sound ridiculous at all, sorry if that’s how I came across as saying!! When I first got flo I listened to everything it told me because I thought well it must be right, turns out half the time it wasn’t right! If you have any worries maybe take it to your doctor and ask them to check over your notes again

@Vil10 no that's not how it sounded at all, TTC is so hard already why do they have to make it harder they're supposed to help not confuse everything 😂🙈 yeah I think I will, I guess it doesn't help thag I just feel like AF is on the way. I have symptoms but they could be either. Although I had slight brown spotting this morning again which surely shouldn't be there if AF is due in 4-5 days 🤷🏼‍♀️ our bodies are confusing

@watermelonwizard totally understandable, glad its your decision not one of your vendors.

@HattieHB Yes a few of us are in the same boat with postponned weddings. I was meant to be getting married end of this month but postponed to June 2021. Im TTC until July then I will stop as I dont want to be pregnant on my wedding day (personal choice), Im hoping to still fit in my dress, but if I have to sell it and buy another- so be it. My mum acctually told me when we cancelled that it really does not matter if I walk down the aisle with a big belly or a baby in my arms, some things you just cant plan. Maybe come August I will change my mind again and keep trying, who knows. We are planning a mini honey moon this year if we can though.

@lucyrp I woul give your doctor a call, will make you feel better!

@blodyn91 ps your dress and Cyprus wedding sound HEAVENLY ☀️

@Minster2012 He is healing well! He's back at work now but we're not going to try anything until FW to give his remaining stitches chance to come out (most are out now and he only had a few). Don't want to try too early and be out before we're even in the race, even if we only manage one time it needs to at least be in FW 😂

In regards to descriptions - I am 5'0, size 12-14 although definitely more 14 than 12 at the moment! Light brunette but have blonde balayage that is very grown out. I have never tried slimming world, maybe it would be good for me? I get so disheartened as nothing I ever try to do to lose weight works unless I put myself on an extremely strict diet and exercise plan which I never stick to because it's so utterly unrealistic and unmanageable. I am the heaviest I have ever been now, my BMI is 30.8 and puts me in the 'obese' category. It seems ridiculous to me that I could be considered obese but I know it's what doctors will go on. This worries me not only for TTC chances but also that I am obviously going to put on weight whilst pregnant and because I find it so hard to lose I'm worried about being even bigger further down the line. Being so short extra weight does not do me any favours!

Oh and I am also a fellow Sims player! Been obsessed since I discovered it when I was about 10yo 🤓

@Minster2012 omg totally, I’ve actually no desire to DTD today I’m almost like what’s the point, but then if I get a smiley face in the morn I’ll be raging! Will see what kind of mood OH is in when he gets home 😂

@lucyrp it really is hard isn’t it, you never think it’s going to be as hard or complicated as it is!! I’m the same, my symptoms could either be af or pregnant but I’m almost 98% certain it’s af, I think that’s why I haven’t had the urge to POAS, Hmm yeah brown spotting this many days before af, I’ll be shocked if you aren’t pregnant! I have everything crossed for you! When are you testing?x

Morning ladies! I've woken up to a nice load of EWCM this morning - so femometer had changed my ovulation prediction to TODAY (CD20) ! Which is not good news as OH was too drunk to DTD last night, can hardly blame him as it was the first time we've been able to see his brother and partner properly for quite some time 🤷‍♀️
Blank smiley on CB though, so currently holding my wee long enough to use a cheapy OPK to confirm after my not very high high yesterday... OH is not getting away with it tonight, I'm hiding the Gin!!!

@watermelonwizard @J0DI3 thank you! I'm starting to track from this month so 🤞🏼🤞🏼(if AF ever comes! 🙄)

@Ltay2 I would definitely look at slimming world as I don't feel like I'm on a diet when I do it at all and to start with you don't even have to exercise if you don't want to and you can still lose weight just by eating the right things! You can eat loads I actually find I eat more on slimming world than I do normally! I always have cheat days or meals too and it never sets me back as long as you get back on track ASAP afterwards!

@Amy00 sorry you got a BFN that sucks, but it isn’t over til 🧙🏻‍♀️The house project sounds great! I’m itching to have another house project

@Ltay2 very sensible! Glad he’s healing well though how far away is FW?

@Vil10 growing up you never hear anyone say they're trying for a baby you just think oh look they're having a baby or oh they don't want babies! Its mad to think that people who popped babies out could have been trying for years! I watched life and birth on iplayer last night and there was a couple on there who has been trying for 11 years!!! Well now I've got the POAS addiction out of the way I probably won't test until Saturday at the earliest and then if nothing then il wait to see if AF arrives on Monday/Tuesday and go from there xx

Good luck @Charlotte2020 keep us updated. I’ve read loads and seen mostly positive things about TTC after mirena, it just may take a while to get back to normal! 🤞🏼 For you. X

@lucyrp my daughter is 19! 🤣 she’s still my baby though, and my best friend. It’s such a huge gap, it’ll be like having two only child’s. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s how life happened though. She used to hate the thought of either me or her dad having other kids, but I think she’s a bit less jealous now. Fingers crossed your spotting is implantation!

@WildButterfly I always said I wanted a two year age gap between my children but that went out of the window when I got pregnant at 16. My DS is 5 now and I think he really needs a sibling to help care for and play with etc it'll be lovely to see them bonding 🥰 I'm sure it will be fine at least she can help you with babysitting😉😉

@Charlotte2020 I’m currently in Cycle 2 after having Mirena removed in March and this is my first month OPK testing. Currently on CD17 and no smiley yet but my cycles are looking around 33 days long so hopefully that smiley will show up soon.

@Ltay2 what’s a balyage??

@lucyrp did I miss you POAS this morning??

@Sydgal22 I’m hoping it’s a high for you but when I didn’t feel in the mood Cos of 🤡 I tried to go for a romantic shag instead you know cuddles & neck rubbing leading to stroking that made me feel more in the mood

@LV1987 YASSS for the ewcm & totally don’t blame OH but he is getting some tonight & tomorrow 😂😂

I’m CD31 here & still no idea what my body is doing. I’m so tempted to test but each morning I wee quickly so it’s out of my system & then wrestle with my inner self as you guys talk about it 😂😬 I only have IC HCG strips in the house so I figure the longer I leave it the better & I might as well have one more weekend before knowing especially as a few ppl here have said about long cycles @J0DI3 & I think someone else?

@Minster2012 AF is due any time between Thurs and Sat this week so FW is looking like it will be around w/c 15th which is ideal I think.. we will see 🙈

@lucyrp I have always been put off from the weekly fee, think I am just tight with money 😂 do you plan your meals or just buy essentials and have whatever you feel? I did the Joe Wicks 90 day plan this time last year but I didn't lose anything and it was way too much food for me felt like I was force feeding myself 😂
