@Bellabubble hi hun how did you know your pup has a UTI ?like what symptoms? I'm unsure if shelby has a UTI or if shes having a potty training issue all of a sudden. But I took her to vets anyway and theyve sent off a urine sample. Is bella on antibiotics for it? Xx

@IWM20 huge huge congrats to you, praying and hoping you have a healthy pregnancy :)
Your dates are also sooo similar to mine, you're giving me so much hope! X

Thanks @VP91x I'll give the POM juice a try then can you drink throughout your full cycle? Also I've been taking pink grapefruit juice it's Morrisons own it's pretty rank do any of ladies who drink this have a different one to try? Xx

@Bellabubble yeah apparently so! Everywhere I read about it working that brand kept popping up. I'm just drinking a small glass a day - it's expensive! I've been drinking loads of GF juice mainly because I discovered I loved it. 🤷X

@HE88 yeah, I've been drinking for a few days now. I'm assuming the earlier you start the better! 😊 X

@HE88 I literally feel the same xx I'm due AF next couple days and I think she is coming tbh and feel so deflated and fed up TTC journey now. I feel like if I'm not lucky this cycle I may not even do opks or anything either . Which will be weird as I was even doing them the few months before I got pg before MC so done then throughout.. but my cycles are so regular I know I get peak around CD 13 to 14 so I will have an idea when to vamp up DTD . I tell myself I'm not stressed by it but deep down thing I am so may not be helping xxx

@HE88 I have suspected the same regarding my lining. I started taking vitamin e, l arginine and aspirin

@VP91x yeah feeling all good now 😊 nice dinner and more grapefruit juice 😂 ooh so frustrating with those opks that it just goes from faint line to peak pretty sharpish so it's the waiting game, hope you get it tomorrow xx

@Jazper im in agreement with @Wishingfornumber2 I think the left is the LH and right is oestrogen I've attached a pic of mine from low to peak (I've never got any flashies assuming my oestrogen is high when I start testing 🤷🏾‍♀️)

@HE88 sounds like a good plan for you just taking a bit of a step back and letting your body relax they do say stress is the worst thing for ttc but seems impossible to avoid once you're in the rabbit hole 🙈 I drink the golden grapefruit from Tropicana or Tesco own x

@SmileyT I know yeah they just peak out of nowhere! Glad you have had a nice evening 😊
Thanks, if it does then I'm at least regular if nothing else!

@HE88 I drink Tesco's own x

@HE88 I drink morissons own (I like it) or Tesco’s own xx

@Renna Bella starts going for lots of little wees, often in quick succession. She will also get caught out suddenly inside too at times - luckily this time she has managed to keep off the new carpet bless her! You can also see her strain when she is teying to wee but I guess like us it stings and not much comes out - and she really tries bless her! Another tell tale sign can be a bit of a fishy smell, and one time hers came on so quick over an eve that by the early hours of the morning she was peeing blood and had been sick. They normally give her antibiotics (she has had them a few times bless her!) but they think it’s linked to her ear infection this time so I need to treat that with drops before they go to antibiotics! To be fair just 2 sets of giving her the drops and she seems a lot perkier and has been weeing less! I have found bicarb of soda and a steam cleaner are your friends for the inside accidents! xx

@vp91x I think I might invest in some pom too - I guess it would still be beneficial through pregnancy too - it seems like pretty good stuff! xx

Thanks @VP91x I'll buy some and start drinking it xx.

@Renna how many cycles since Mc have you been ttc for? I feel like I've been using opks for a lifetime ha ha. I'm obsessing over it which I don't think is good I'm also worrying about work etc so that won't be helping either. I'm hoping that a more relaxed approach will help xx.

@DBTJ thanks for the suggestions I'll look into them.

@SmileyT I know it's hard not to stress but hopefully this small change will help. @MichT4 I've not got a tesco near me. Might just stick with the Morrisons one or try the tropicana one you suggested @SmileyT xx.

@Bellabubble @Renna we got some pup update pics this evening. Excited to get him 🥰

Yeah definitely try it out xx

@vp91x omg he is ADORABLE!! He looks so proud of himself! xx

@VP91x oh my 💕💕

What pup is he?

@Bellabubble Thanks for sharing - it really does help to know how others are doing and what "normal" might feel like in this weird process.

@HE88 You are so brave to keep posting here and I really appreciate hearing your thought processes - we all go through so much. Whatever our journeys we share such an emotional up and down. I know you will make the right decision for you re whether to keep trying. I'm sorry you've had a rough few days and wish you all luck and love Xx

Hi guys , 4 days past Ovulation , got stomach cramps been feeling nauseous for 3 days straight now and also now have a lot of mucus did OPK and negative was solid purple lines 4 days ago. I have PCOS taking metformin twice a day abc inositol. X

Lovely to see more BFPs. Hoping to see some more by the end of the week! Hope you all don't mind me hanging around here too, my pregnancy doesn't feel real yet and I feel a fraud for joining a pregnancy group.. also I feel like i don't want to move to a pregnancy group until you have all had your BFPs and can join me. These are my people ❤ I'm way too invested to leave now..!

@WellHurrahAndHuzzah we have the same due date! Feb 16th here too❤❤

@HE88 I've been thinking of you lots. We're all here for you!

I've been having a giggle to myself imaging all the supermarkets bosses trying to figure out why they can't keep enough pomegranate or grapefruit juice in stock all of a sudden!!

@MichT4 how have the opks been behaving??

@2020wish I'm losing sleep waiting for you to test again! so can only imagine how you are feeling! Praying for that line to darken on the next test ❤

@2020wish hope your doing ok it really is frustrating being in the am I or am I not limbo I have spoke to my gp who has offered blood test which I refused but she said judging by what I have explained AF won’t be due till 24 I also had brown discharge this morning and thought it was AFshe reckons it’s IB still getting the faint lines on frer with slow progression

@mrsssk eeek how exciting! 😊 Will you be testing soon? Sending so much baby dust for a Bfp this month 🤞😁 xxx

@wellhurrahandhuzzah I agree, I think the whole MC has put a real downer on being pregnant this time. I feel like I don't want to get excited and then be devestated all over again 😔. But then I've wanted this for so long and I really should be able to be happy! Think I'll just take each day as it comes. Will you be having an early scan?

@Bellabubble @MichT4 so cute, but only 6 weeks old!! They are big dogs, it is a belgian malinois.

@Saim86 how come you refused the blood test? I hope you get some answers soon x

@1990EM absolutely stay with us❤️ I want to hear alll your pregnancy updates! Xxx

Well ladies, CD19 - day 10 of flashing smilies 😩 last month today was the day my peak showed up with my lunchtime wee. So let's hope it is the same this time.

How is everyone today? X

@IWM20 it is so true what you say, both my pregnancies I have tested once on a digital and that's it! Never thought about testing again to see line progression and I never thought I would MC (naively). With my daughter I had a bleed, quite a fair amount fresh blood as well, at 8ish weeks. I got seen by a gynae in A&E as it was a Sunday she said everything looked hopeful because my cervix was closed, bloods had high levels etc. Thankfully saw the HB next day and all was fine. Daughter was born on her due date!

With my pregnancy last year, I had the smallest bleed and brown blood. So my partner was like oh this might just be a thing for you I'm sure it will be okay (not sure how he really felt) went to the hospital following morning as it was about 11pm. Miscarriage was confirmed at 9 weeks. So crazy, you would have thought with the bleeding amount it would be the other way around 🤷. If I get PG again I'll definitely have an early scan etc. I know you can't control it anyway, but will be reassuring if all is ok.
