Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@SmileyT did you use smep this cycle? I can't remember if it was you or someone else but I think I might try it this cycle, but I just don't know if I'll feel like it's too scheduled x

KateColx · 08/07/2020 20:48

Hi lovelies,

Just catching up after a busy day! Hope you've all had a good day?

How are you feeling @SmileyT ? Is it starting to sink in? 🥰🥰🥰

Ah @lucyrp I feel so frustrated for you!! X

Wahh what is happening to all of our cycles 😩 this one has been so weird for me, I'm hoping for a normal one this time 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Out of curiosity, what cycle is everyone on?

Casual three, yes three, pregnancy announcements on my Facebook today 😅😅😅 Is it weird that I've already planned my announcement pic?! 😂 yes sorry I am one of those instagrammers 🙈

Last day in work tomorrow before 5 days off and I am SO excited. We've both been working all throughout lockdown so I can't wait to spend some time with OH 🥰💖

Newbie0818 · 08/07/2020 20:57

@Dipsy77 of course you did, doh I'm such a forgetful brain! Congrats again haha. That's good!

@KateColx I've lost count of cycles now, but I'm coming up to 11 months x

Newbie0818 · 08/07/2020 20:58

Right, ladies... anniversary presents for hubby ideas? GO!

LV1987 · 08/07/2020 21:05

@KateColx cycle 6 for me!

@Newbie0818 steak and a blowjob 🥩🤤

Juno231 · 08/07/2020 21:05

@KateColx tell us more about the planned announcement! I have zero artistic flair so likelihood is mine is going to be pretty crap 😂. I'm on cycle 7 now 💃

2020mission · 08/07/2020 21:10

@Newbie0818 how many years married will you have been this anniversary?

2020mission · 08/07/2020 21:11

@KateColx I'm on cycle 5, you?

Newbie0818 · 08/07/2020 21:20

@LV1987 love that 😂

@2020mission only 2 years married, but 9 years together so its not like a "big one". More of a "shit I forgot about that" one 🤣

Minster2012 · 08/07/2020 21:22

@newbie0818 my hubby says letting him go to the pub which has sparked a big row as he said he was going to the pub tonight but his mate then blew him off, ironic as I would have said steak n a blow job 😂🤔. What year is it??? Like cotton, ceramic, paper, leather anniversary that kind of thing???

@vil10 @smileyT did the sofa sex wine n pizza method. We are all on that next month 😂

@Katecolx we did TTC may- nov last year then IVF started Mid dec with the drugs to stop my cycle and eventually embryo put in February '20, BFP late feb MMC March. So TTC again since then. So TTC naturally about 10 cycles bit all messed up & I know I'm broken 🤷‍♀️

@Lucyrp exactly why did you save your FMU from today 🤔having waited CDgazillionandone surely one more wasn't gonna hurt???

In other news I just found a mouse in our house.

I disposed of it. Quickly.

2alreadywantanother · 08/07/2020 21:22

@KateColx cycle 1 🙈
As for the facebook status. I've already decided if it happens I'm saying nothing. Only family and close friends will know. Then post pics of my baby 😂😂 I wont even tell family for as long as I can. Bar my sister.

Had daye night tonight and I'm all loved up 🥰 had a lovely evening. Cant wait to get him to bed 😂

SmileyT · 08/07/2020 21:29

@LV1987 nah I only think you've missed it might just come tomorrow, they can come out of nowhere so don't give up hope but yes maybe give him the evening off to replenish the spunk 💦

@Vil10 yes I have used SMEP the last few cycles at first it was fine but it did become a bit of a pressure cooker so the last cycle I told OH when I thought I'd get my peak and just let him initiate but ended up getting peak on CD13 and pretty much on plan but didn't do the 3rd in the row this time x

@KateColx yeah I'm just taking it all in bitsize pieces, if i make it to 5weeks with a positive test I'll start letting the excitement creep in a bit more. Although DP has already been showing me colour swatches for the nursery ☺️ also what is the Instagram announcement going to look like? I used to insta story a lot and had an idea of what my post would look like but the MC kinda tarnished it and have been off instagram since so think I'll be waiting until baby is here now 😂 xx

@Minster2012 white choc mouse best type 🤤

OP posts:
blodyn91 · 08/07/2020 21:29

@Minster2012 Im goggling about the mouse 😆
@KateColx cycle 4 straight off the microgynon

As for announcement, my OH can blow his belly out to look preggers, so will be something sneaky like 'food baby?' with me pointing at his belly. 😂
When we got engaged we posted a photo like a week later. With just the view from the mountain top saying 'Fave place to say yes'

2020mission · 08/07/2020 21:29

@Newbie0818 ok, I reckon you get him something made of cotton as the traditional 2nd anniversary gift is cotton 😆

Ltay2 · 08/07/2020 21:36

@KateColx Cycle 4 for me!

KateColx · 08/07/2020 21:40

@Minster2012 you're not broken, just unique 🥰😘

Next one will be cycle 5 for me 🙋🏼‍♀️ sometimes I feel like I need to stay in this group on MN, I read other posts about how long it takes others and complications etc and it makes me anxious 😫

@2alreadywantanother aw where did you go for your date night? Love that loved up feeling 🥰🥰 hah sometimes I think I'd like to keep it private but I know what I'm like, FRER will probably have barely dried before I'm setting out an insta pic 🤪 x

@blodyn91 haha I love that!!! And your engagement sounds so cute 🥺 I love an engagement story! we got engaged in New York at a restaurant under the Brooklyn bridge, like on the Brooklyn side with the whole of the New York skyline in front of us 😩 x

@SmileyT bite size pieces sounds like a good plan 🥰 I can't cope with the cuteness of nursery colour swatches 🥺 I work for a paint company, hit me up for some free paint 😂🙋🏼‍♀️ one of my best friends didn't post anything about her pregnancy or even though hen she had her baby, just a few months in she popped a photo of her on Instagram and everyone was like wtf?! 😂 x

Mine isn't that exciting haha! I may have built it up here. But everyone always jokes about how our little dog is our child, he even features in the best man speech 😂 so thinking something likeeee this 🐶 x

Minster2012 · 08/07/2020 21:42

I agree with @2020mission @newbie0818. How about, steak, blowjob then given him the gift which is an initialed tea towel so he can wash up??? No lie that's what I got for our second. Thanks love 💕🙈

Yep thankfully we are now mouse free

Loving the announcements @Blodyn91, sounds lovely fir your engagement, hilarious for a baby. @SmileyT totally understand. Same for @2alreadywantanother. We wouldn't for another either, for DS we did one with best friend & put a big disclaimer saying "in any normal circumstance we wouldn't do this BUT seeing as someone else is doing something so amazing, and bearing in mind she's getting awkward comments and fielding questions of "thank you but it's not actually my baby I'm growing 😂🙈😳, not my husbands" we feel we ought to explain"...so we did it across both of our feeds. To this day though a few of her patients ask how her baby is 😬& some of her husband's colleagues asked if my husband had "knobbed his missus". Genuinely shocking he didn't punch them.

Vil10 · 08/07/2020 21:47

@Minster2012 hahahah, I think on ovulation day we're ordering pizza for tea!

@SmileyT I'm thinking of trying it this cycle but like you said it's a bit scheduled and pressured! It is a good idea though letting him initiate!x

@KateColx that's such a lovely announcement idea with your dog involved!x

blodyn91 · 08/07/2020 21:52

@katecolx love it! Love an animal theme! (our dog will be our ring barer 😆- will definitely be mentioned in the speeches, probs the grooms, dad and best man) 😂😂 Some of my friends thinks Im sad but a well 💁🏼‍♀️😅

@minster2012 I bet soo many people shared their love to that story! After everything you've been through. Does your friend have any kids of her own?

That's a lovely announcement @Katecolx gorgeous!! I'm sure Paige will be super cute with a baby, dogs are great with kids 🥰

Yes @blodyn91 we wouldn't have done it otherwise as risks are too high of someone getting attached to a child they bear if they aren't done having their own family, even if not related, it's very frowned upon in surrogacy even if like us she wasn't a surrogate before. She has 2 children, they were our flower girl & page boy at our wedding, they were 8 & 6 & knew she was growing a baby for us as my tummy isn't good, at the birth & her eldest even helped at the home birth, touching our son first, patting him down with a towel with the midwife before he was passed to me for skin to skin & I cut the cord. It was amazing. 💕🥰

2alreadywantanother · 08/07/2020 22:03

@KateColx I normally post everything but not this I dont think

We went for a meal and drinks. Ah it was heaven not having to cook or clean. My kitchen has never been so clean 😂😂
We were 14yrs together last month and didnt get mark it so this was just lovely. Af due tomorrow and no cramps as if yet. Was gona were white Jean's but thought that's when the viych would decide to jump on board 😂

Busybee143 · 08/07/2020 22:05

Big congrats @SmileyT, I really hope this one sticks for you!!

JustMouse · 08/07/2020 22:46

Hello,

It's been a while since I posted and caught up with everyone. Congratulations those that have had positive tests.

Unfortunatly AF turned up on Sunday, so I guess onto the next cycle we go.

Things haven't been great here since OH retuned from deployment. I'm slowly getting to the bottom of things, but have felt really rejected by him. All turns out it was because he started smoking again while on deployment and knows how much I hate it. So didn't want to kiss or cuddle me, incase I smelt it on him.

I'm pretty much back to a full working week but the school holidays are nearly here!!
