@peonyrose87 omg eeeeeeeeeek CONGRATULATIONS!! Welcome to the club!!

Ahh congratulations @peonyrose87!! X

@VP91x work is so silly busy at the moment but it honestly does make the days go quick, I normally work on London Wall just by Liverpool Street station but currently working in a local branch in Chingford, it's a 35 min walk when I can be bothered so not bad at all.

@MichT4 haha I love it, it's something to do when I'm waiting... no need to do Cheapies yet but it's all fun until ovulation is late🤪🤪

@littletandme ahh this makes sense, hopefully it happens again for you soon 🤞 xx

@HE88 well nobody can say I'm not trying 🙃

Congratulations @peonyrose87!

@Renna glad your scan went well today in terms of everything being healthy! I also apparently have a tilted womb it seems to be quite common. Sorry that AF arrived today It is so stressful and overwhelming ttc I find cycle tracking, opks etc very stressful in general. For anyone who is getting overwhelmed with everything I tried fertility meditations and binaural meditation on YouTube and also yoga for increased blood flow and fertility which I got from YouTube also. The month that I tried this I got pregnant (sadly ended in mc) it could have just been a placebo effect or may seem a bit weird to some but I can post find and post the links on here If anyone is interested x

@SmileyT what do you do for a job?

And I know the feeling well of late ovulation 🤬 I don’t want that many photos of sticks 😂

@micht4 thank you so much for your lovely words hun xxx so very true and thank you for the hugs ! Much needed . And very true I know some lovely ladies have agg with the opks and ovulation so I'll be grateful mine seems kinda regular ... although does make me keep thinking why isnt it happening then 😓 I threw everything at it last cycle . The cup tracking we followed SMEP to a T . So yeah I'm thinking its time for a new approach and just try chill and try reduce the stress . But thank you for taking time to message me your nice message xx

@VP91x thanks babe yup very true. Opks telling me I'm ovulating around the time I'm excepting give or take a day either side each time so maybe I'll leave the opks .. which will be hard tbh as I like to know what's happening and be in control but obvs not really working for me I guess xx

@peonyrose87 massive congratulations him xxx wishing you a happy healthy none months xx and thank you xx

@Hayleylou89 yeah been weird emotions today. I felt so down and upset and fed up with AF arriving but then felt this relief after the scan xx dont think DH would be up for injections unless we were still trying after like a year or something . Hes probably right that we both need to kick start back out healthier lifestyles as he normally would workout a lot more but weve both got lazy with lockdown and we probs need to de stress a lot more and it may happen maybe . We had a lot of stress with step son issues last weekend too x x

@SmileyT yeah same it's hard to know what's helping me physically and mentally and what isnt xx I think the main thing is I just need to shift my focus back to me fully and getting fitter and healthier physically and mentally and back to feeling good about myself xxx

@HE88 funny were cycle buddies and also sounds like were taking same approach this month . Sorry af got you too xxxx

@HopeForRainbowbaby thanks hun xxx

@Northernsoul90 thanks hun xx yeah I read about tilted womb seems common and just a way to describe the position of the uterus . Does say could be a reason for utis which would make sense as I get a fair few xx oo please do post the meditation etc links 😁 thank you xxx

Congratulations @peonyrose87 - that’s fantastic, I love it when we have a bfp in the group... gives us all hope. Hope you are feeling well! X

@SmileyT this is very true, what cycle day you on?

@Renna thank you I'm just glad she came when expected that's 2 30 day cycles I've had in a row so I'm going with I have a 30 day cycle. It was hubby that suggested the more relaxed approach I was a bit unsure at 1st of the thought of not using opks but the more I thought about it I realised he was perhaps right to give it a try plus I would need to order more opks so it's fate not to use them this cycle (well that's what I'm telling myself). I think exercising and getting fitter is a good thing to focus on I've been doing this since lockdown began and it has been good. Xx

Thank you so much everyone 🥰🥰 so nervous about it being so early, but hopefully it sticks!!

@WellHurrahAndHuzza how are you feeling?

@Renna so these are the ones that I used but there are quite a few others on YouTube as well. Some seem a bit out there at first but I was willing to try anything! I’m an anxious person at the best of times anyway and they did help me relax if nothing else!

Meditations:

Yoga:

The lady on this video is called Bettina Rae she has quite a few different fertility yoga flows for different stages of your cycle. xxx

@HE88 yeah it makes sense . I mean my cycles since MC have been 28 26 27 28 days . And get my peaks on either CD 12 or 14 . So I can just go by that . I was similar before MC too. Xx let's hope relaxing more will help us this month xxx
@northernsoul90 thanks hun I'll deffo take a look at these xxx

@MichT4 ahh no way!! What a bastard. Enjoy your pom juice/wine/🍆💦 😅😅

@SmileyT ahh that's good that you're not having to travel into the city atm! Do you prefer the Chingford branch? Haven't been to Chingford in aaaages.

@Renna yeah you have your cycle sussed out so I think definitely get yourself back into a routine that makes you and your partner feel good and hopefully the rest will follow ❤️

@VP91x just had a lovely shower, and have my wax melts and candles burning so feeling much calmer and more relaxed.
Done another yet?

@Renna no need to thank me at all, it’s a pleasure and what we are all here for. I hate hearing any of you down, and I think you definitely deserve to give yourself some time. You’ve got this, in whichever way you choose to have it.
How’s Shelby?

xx

@MichT4 aw thank you so much :) so sweet xx shes okay thank you ... I had a stressful day yesterday after my lunch time walk yesterday she puked! It was gross ! And there was a slug in her sick ! So she ate a slug on our walk , she keeps me on my toes for sure haha
Vets just called to confirm she has not got a UTI. So gonna see how her symptoms get on next few days if no improvement then more tests. But I think she seems better and maybe I'm being an over cautious new dog mum lol xx
I've got my blush rose wine for tonight and DH cooking me dinner after having my cry ... xx .he said maybe I come on these forums too much but I was like crying after all your lovely messages and was like see I cant not be on mumsnet the ladies are so lovely and they get it . These things I couldnt discuss with my other friends at all xxxx hope you enjoy your wine tonight too xxx hugs to all and thanks for being so sweet xx

@Renna hope you have a lovely evening with your OH. Blush Rose sounds gorgeous! Glad Shelby doesn't have a UTI. Definitely easy to be nervous with all these things as you get to know her. She's lucky to have you.

@MichT4 oh sounds so nice! I done one at 6.30 (disappointing) will do one in about half an hour or so. Xx

@MichT4 I'm a mortgage advisor, honestly can't wait to get preggers and be a FT mum, OH thinks I'd be going back to work but will probably be like 10hrs a week 😂

@Renna reading your messages has really motivated me, I used to be in pretty good shape pre pregnancy and then the MC happened and lockdown and now I'm not sure what my excuse is and I agree that having something else to focus on could really help my mental health along with getting into meditation/ yoga properly. Enjoy your wine and some quality time with Shelby and OH this weekend. It will happen for all of us I'm sure of that and we'll get banging pre-pregnancy bodies while we're waiting xx

@HE88 CD7 for me... so fertile period starts in about 4 days, wish it was at the weekend but has worked out when OH isn't working nights so that's good 🙌🏾 how are you doing? Feeling relaxed? xx

@VP91x we're doing all appts over the phone at the moment and 2 other girls from my team live close by so it's all fun working together but the chingford branch is closing in November so will have to go back to the city and the long expensive commute then 😩

@SmileyT 😂😂 love that you have a secret plan. 10 hrs a week sounds ideal. I would imagine most can be done over the phone - do you think they’d let you work at home once the branch closes

Definitely good to get focus back on other things. I’m enjoying putting my mind back into my training and food again. Can’t let myself keep spiralling or I’ll have baby weight to lose before I even get PG 🤣

@VP91x how’s your workouts going? Fingers crossed for the next one. Or at least a big static grin in the morning

@renna I’m not a big rose drinker, until I’m poured a blush. Delightful, enjoy!
And I’m glad to hear about Shelby. Probably is all just new and you can’t help but worry. Soon you’ll just realise she loves to eat a slug or two 😂

@peonyrose87 I'm good thanks! By my calculations I'm 5+3 today, I'm pretty damn tired and seem to be really thirsty, but aside from that, no real symptoms! Trying to stay active and keep healthy. How about you? Any symptoms yet?

@WellHurrahAndHuzzah glad to hear you're doing well!! I'm good, just felt a bit sick the last few mornings! I had horrible nausea with my last pregnancy so I'm hoping it won't be as bad this time 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@SmileyT oh that's annoying!! Will you stay there until Nov? So expensive to travel in isn't it?! I always think all that money wasted, but what can you do.

@MichT4 I've been doing stretch and yoga/pilates type stuff once a day because my flexibility is so poor atm! Just had my daily quickie after seeing my non-peak OPK 🤣. Fuck sake, better be static tomorrow.

What do you do @VP91x? Do you work in the city too?

Legs up? Or did you remember the cup today?

@Renna fingers crossed for us ☺️. Xx

@SmileyT roll on fertile week 😀. Yip feeling ok cd1 so we will see what this cycle brings. It will be strange not using opks but also exciting to see what the relaxed approach will be like. Xx

@MichT4 I've always worked as a retail manager, mainly within luxury brands but have moved over to recruitment now. More sociable hours, etc. How about you?

Legs up! I've given up on the cup for some reason xx
