@2alreadywantanother was just discussing it with a friend briefly and there's another girl we know who posted her pregnancy tests straight on facebook after finding out herself. second child with another sperm donor pretty much

I know its not fair. A girl I know. About 2 yrs ago, pregnant and he mad her have an abortion. Shes now pregnant with twins to him 😭

Am I allowed to join? Getting verrry lonely on this journey and it’s been two years with no luck

@AmesK you’ll be at home with us, some have been trying for long, the back of the bus for those waiting a miracle, some losses too 😢, some FPS too and even some on the second trimester, everybody fits

Read bfps, for FPS, though

Thanks @Franklydear! It’ll be nice to have some support, this entire thing is so exhausting and has been so lonely so far.I really hope we all get our much awaited BFP’s xx

Indeed, I would look like a looney if I couldn’t vent here myself

Welcome @Amesk that's a while. Are you seeing a consultant for tests etc. Have you any kids? Some if us here have and trying for another. Some with losses, some with big age gaps. But all in the same boat. You will have plenty of support here. Theres nothing we havent heard.

[quote Franklydear]@Hrps I don’t mind the gin, is the tonic I find repulsive, what else can you mix it with?[/quote]
I mix my gins with lemonade a lot of the time. Having a lemon gin with cloudy lemonade as I type...ahead of ovulation in a few days. I never touched gin until summer 2019 and now it's my drink of choice xx

@Minster2012 I've decided to steer away from testing now anyway, going off my short temper this morning I didn't think af will be here shortly unfortunately!

@Skip86 😂😂😂 I'm holding off!!

@NestinginNL well one of my apps say af due Tuesday and the other Wednesday so i might just try and hold out until then but to be honest I feel like she's coming😩 hope you have a lovely weekend!!

@lucyrp I've seen 3 this morning, horrible isn't it!! And whilst planning my friends baby shower🙂

Hey guys I only downloaded the chat app the past couple of days. Any tips on how to use it? I've been scrolling through the whole chat every day to read everything and see if anyone has replied to me. Is there a way to get notifications and go straight to them? Thank you all, and I'm glad to be on this bus with you all, seeing the variety of ladies here feels so warm xx

@Joanna1009 so first you need to click on the active tab at the bottom then go on the burger menu at the top right of the screen, go to settings then notifications and turn the first 3 switches all to on. then an easier way to read is when you're on the thread press the two arrows at the top right of the screen and it will rotate the newest from bottom to the top. you can also swipe right on certain replies to bookmark so you can pick up where you left off next time you go on the app. replying is much easier on the app too as if there's a lot to reply to you can start typing and then press the cross and read some more then go back on reply and can carry on typing ! hope this helps x

@Vil10 omg same! organising my friends baby shower too. well i say i am, i didn't really find out much about it until the other day as her sister was organising it and she doesn't really like me all that much but i finally got added to the group chat the other day and i was working on the day of it so had to fiddle that around and get cover for work 🙈

Hi @2alreadywantanother! Thanks for the welcome :) You’ve got it in one, it’ll be nice to tell someone how I’m feeling and you say you’ve heard it all before so I won’t worry about being judged, which has been happening in the real world as I’ve been trying so long :(

I’m TTC my first and it’s been a heck of a journey so far!
I’ve had all the tests and I’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, PCOS and fibroids- just my luck to have to deal with all of it I’ve had a procedure for the endo but still not a sniff of a BFP- really just losing hope now and annoyed at myself because I still do the same thing every month. Is this my month? Can this finally be my turn? Im having cramps but people have said they’ve had cramps and BFP so surely this must be what’s happening to me etc etc. I do the symptom spotting and all the rest of it and it never is my turn.

Thank you for listening :)

I hope things are better for you? Xx

@amesk god love u. My DH niece has endometriosis and is going through hell. She was in for surgery recently, it has spread to her bowels. She has had a few mc's. She has a big surgery coming up and will be in intensive care for a few days and out of work for 6mths.
Suppose what I'm trying to say is look after yourself. They weren't taking her serious and telling her her pain was in her head until she ended up in a&e. My heart goes out to her.

@AmesK def welcome here! As @Franklydear says there's a load of different stages here & we all fit in long as you don't mind TMI & a sense of humour & sex chat & other stuff too! Def get tests though lovely. I'm doing IVF as I'm totally infertile bit these bitches won't let me leave the bus since I was hanging around TTC chat in lockdown after a MMC from our ivf in feb

@lucyrp a 7 week scan? 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear you've only got a left boob???

@Joanna1009 on my list for tonight with strictly is gin & cloudy lemonade thank you 🙌🏻

@Vil10 right idea on the testing, love how you think you are snappy cos of AF though, I'm just clearly a bitch most of the time 😹

@Minster2012 honestly its questionable if its even a 7 week one 🤦🏼‍♀️ god i sound like a bitch!🤣 it pissed me right off

@Minster2012 see, the madness starts.... sore boobs still, nothing else, which is weird both for af or bfp...
And no, you’re not leaving, we already stablished that

@lucyrp it's such a mix of emotions isn't it!! This friend is a really good and close friend so I want to make it as special for her as I can in such shit circumstances, I bought her baby a snowsuit the other day because she's due in December and said she needed one, it arrived yesterday and I felt myself welling up and I said to OH I wish it was our baby I was buying this stuff for, I'm over now like I just needed that cry ass moment😂

@AmesK welcome to the group lovely❤️

@Minster2012 hahaha well I was snappier than usual!! Still sore nipples though!!

@Juno231 so chart guru, what do you think of this rhr? Red is 7th, 8th, 9th when I presume I ovulated, and black was 6 and 7dpo...

@lucyrp thank you. That will make it easier. Have a lovely evening x

@Vil10 i know it's been hard sorting something because of covid! omg you've just reminded me i need to order a present for her for the baby shower 🤦🏼‍♀️i'm not used to baby showers i normally just buy a present when they're born!

also does anyone else use an apple watcj to traci their heart rate ? if so what apps do you use to look at the chart as the apple health chart is no use whatsoever 🙄

@vil10 oh it looks very promising I think! Unless you've been drinking alcohol? If that were my rhr chart I'd be getting pretty darn excited so fingers crossed for you!

@Vil10 I'm not as much an expert as @Juno231 but your rhr pattern looks very similar to mine the month I got my BFP so promising! Especially if it stays at 65 or higher tomorrow too! My lows were similar to yours 57/58 and then stayed at 64-67 throughout pregnancy so far 🤞🏼

@Juno231 did you see my chart earlier this morning ?🤣
