@minster2012 that's nice, making a friend out of all this. But then again why would u. You are a lady xx

@juno231 looking back on my bfp chart. I had cramping around 7/8dpo and cm the odd day too.
I'm 7dpo also going by opk and twinges (I hope)

Regardless of not expecting to catch straight away, I know the 1st Af will be an emotional 1 😢 just want it over with and start the next step of my journey

@Juno231 did you get a chance to read my message to you last night ? Any ideas on my charts greatly accepted 🤣

@Minster2012 100% read your message as boo to lockdown buggering! And all this talk of scraping is giving me the heebie jeebies 🙉 like nails on a blackboard!

@Juno231 you never know but understand your caution!
Ok that's reassuring, she was a bit batty and kept chatting non stop so she must've been a bit clumsy with the scraping.
@Kirky658 ok thanks, good to know too.
@Minster2012 ahh you have such a good outlook on life. It's lovely 😊 I need you to rub off on me. I feel very teary today.

Sorry @LaceyMermaid that's my fault! 🙈

Well, as usual the day I say I'll test af has come!
URGH I'm SO OVER my shitty reproductive system 😫😢

@notyetamumbuttrying only joking I’m not normally squeamish but that’s got me somehow! Not ever heard scaling at mine and I’ve been and had a biopsy before too so must be how they do it!

Just thought I'd pop on to see how you all are getting on... just back from Greece and spent half the day reading through the whole of this thread, if possible it moves even faster than before.

@Skip86 I've thought of you often over the last couple months... sending you so much love from this side of the world xx

@Minster2012 I've been quietly keeping up with your story and your quizzes and can't wait for that final egg to get cosy inside your thickest of the thick lining next time ❤️

To all you other lovely ladies (started tagging you all, got to 10 and realised it was ridiculous 😂, you know who you are) I cant wait to see you all get your BFPs xx

P.S @lucyrp I remember reading ages ago you were considering it, but have you started doing your temps vaginally yet? x

Congrats @LBee2020, that's fantastic
I could feel the scrapping this time, but my nurse said it was because the cervix was very soft, she is very experienced
I am officially late, ladies, but not counting eggs yet
@Minster2012 how bitter sweet, hugs

@Newbie0818 arrghh, so frustrating! Cake and wine tonight then

@SmileyT you can't have read all of it surely!🤣🙈I can't even keep up and I'm on here 😂 no I haven't started taking them vaginally yet il start at the start of next cycle so it's consistent throughout the whole cycle. How are you keeping ? Xx

@Newbie0818 Aww sorry Hun! I’ll be joining you tomorrow! Let’s have lots of chocolate xx

@Newbie0818 ah sorry what a shitter. Hopefully you’re appointment is soon?

Sorry hun@Newbie0818! You close to being able to start investigations yet?
@LaceyMermaid yeah it's not the nicest word is it!
Hi @SmileyT missed you! Hope Greece was good?! Not sure if you caught my latest but finally know what's up and it's male factor so if it doesn't improve it's ivf for us. Dh is being very proactive though so time will tell! Hope you and baby are well!

Love you@SmileyT pop more often

@LaceyMermaid shitter haha what a word!

@Newbie0818 soooo sorry its so shit 😓

To the ladies talking about smears I know @notyetamumbuttrying was among youuuu they don't actually scrape, and what they use is plastic and soft if that makes sense, they kind of give it a swirl around rather than scrape 😉 hehe I remember seeing the thing they use and it looks like tridents spear but miniature, plasticy and soft haha. I don't bleed after but I was prone to cramping for a few days afterwards when I had the coil in.

@lucyrp Okay maybe I skimmed the hundreds of messages, I'm off work so had some time to kill and keep meaning to catch up 😂I think what you said about the spotting being a new cycle could definitely be true looking at your chart but it's one of those annoying things with BBT and RHR it's so hard to tell what the hell went on until the end of the cycle. My RHR would always dip a couple days before ovulation then rise afterwards towards AF but some seem to have a rise for ovulation, I think especially with RHR everyone has their own pattern xx

@Franklydear every time I catch up I end up actually lolling at your random little stories 🥰

@notyetamumbuttrying Greece was amazing and glad we picked it over Italy as that got added to quarantine while away 🙄 and yes I did read this about your OH, I know it's shit but I'm also guessing after a year it's good to know that there is some explanation. And you're going to go private and try IVF in Jan? How's the house hunt going? I know you are desperate to get out of London p.s your memes the other night were killing me. I'm all good and 20week scan on Monday so hopefully all good news there xx

@SmileyT I didn't comment on here for like a week or so but I couldn't not read the thread in fear of having so much to catch up on 🤣 if my spotting was the beginning of a new cycle then that would be great as it would mean I'm on track for a normal cycle but then that also means I had a mini cycle in the middle where nothing happened 🤣🙈x

@lucyrp eeeek that's good that your RHR has gone up after the dip!!! How you getting on with the new watch?

@Chlo2701 wonder what tomorrow will bring. Yeah loving it! I had a 38mm before so obviously had to change size this time as they don't do that anymore but went for the 40 as I have really small wrists so thought if it was bigger it would look strange 🙈🤣made me want a new phone now though!!🤣 remind me of your situation, I feel like I've been all me me me and haven't asked about you xx

@SmileyT we’ll, you know when you’re skimming, you can’t skip me!
@Missgoldilocks I saw it too, I am too familiar in my surgery, and they don’t mind me if I am on the way when they are preparing things

@Franklydear @AmesK @Missgoldilocks @LaceyMermaid thanks ladies, it sucks balls.
Hubby has his SA next Monday and then I'm hoping I might get referred or something. Lots of waiting around bleh

@LaceyMermaid we can in the relaxed approach together! At least you have your DC now and it'll be a lovely bonus if you do get another!

@AmesK you always feel guilty for feeling a bit jealous don't you, but I'm glad we can all vent here and not feel bad!! Oh god I can imagine that being horrible, we're cursed with these horrible things aren't we!!x

@LBee2020 congratulations❤️

@Minster2012 is that what heavy periods mean?? Bonus, just need to get pregnant now for that thick lining to come into use😂 love and hugs to you!! It's crap when you should've been on that journey too but I have all the faith in the world for your last one🤞🏼 we'll get there and all have little mums net babies❤️

@SmileyT Hope you're well lovely!!x

Went to see my friends who's 32 weeks pregnant after work to give her the fluffy suit I bought her baby, she was glowing and I was so happy but almost teared up when I left, god dam you af you silly bitch! Bought some dairy milk daim on the way home and going to get in bed soon with that and a brew! Hope everyone else has had a good day!

@Vil10 we can be relaxed cycle buddies 🤣 I know I do feel bad for even being on here really as I know so many of your are TTC #1. That’s why I’ll never complain about it not happening for me!

@Franklydear interesting little thing isn't it hehe
