@runnergirl1 omg yay!!!!!! So happy for you x

This is great @Runnergirl1 congrats on the progression 🥳

@Kirky658 oooo I might have a look at those tonight!! I think OH would love having control over it too😂

@Runnergirl1 ahhhh I'm soo happy for you!! Congratulations lovely❤️🌈

Oh @Runnergirl1 that's lovely news!! Really hope this is your rainbow baby ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations

I had a scan this morning and little blob in there with a visible heart beat, 8wks 4d. Interestingly my right ovary was a big black hole and she said that's where I ovulated, and couldn't see my left ovary

@lucyrp it's really shit isn't it. Hug sister x

@Runnergirl1 omg that is amazing progression, I really hope this is it lovely ✨✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈

@SarahTTC2020 so happy to hear it's all looking good 🌟 x

Fantastic news @Runnergirl1 ❤️🌈😘🥰

@runnergirl1 aahhhh congratulations I'm so happy for you!!! 🥳🥳🥳 What cycle was this post MC? Its only been a few months hasn't it? I can imagine you're feeling a bit scared as well as happy but try to make the most of the happy feelings as much as you can. Sending a big hug xxx

I just realised, af is due one day after the one year of starting to ttc.

@Sausage1990. I’ve had two periods since mmc so yeah quite quick although it feel like an age when you have had it and it gets taken away I can’t lie. Yeah I know, I just have to keep thinking today I am pregnant x

@runnergirl1 yes definitely hun try to make the most of the happy - You're pregnant 😁💕 and 2 periods isn't long but God it feels it when you're in the middle of it. I hope I'm as lucky and convince again so quickly 🤞🏻

@runnergirl1 that emoji was meant to be a big smiley face but for some reason MN turned it into more of a grimace 😂 take the grimace as a big toothy smile 😊

@Newbie0818 hugs to you too x

Well I'm not sure what's going on, my rhr went down yesterday and then popped back up today but got some cramps today. 12dpo 😬

Hi everyone! This is my first post! It seems like such a supportive community which is just what I need as I don’t really want to share my journey with people I know in real life (other than my husband!).
Age: 30
TTC: first baby
Cycle: 2
Of my four friends with babies, three fell pregnant the first time they tried and one fell pregnant by mistake! I’m finding TTC quite stressful and emotional.
I feel like I’ve done everything ‘right’. I’ve taken folic acid, I lost 20 lbs before TTC and I got back into exercise (joined a gym and completed Couch to 5k). I measure my temperature every morning, use LH tests and and check CM. I’ve given up caffeine and alcohol and I make sure I get my 5 a day!

@Sausage1990 I know how you feel when other people announce their pregnancies or conceive really quickly, it feels quite disheartening and I get a bit jealous but I think it’s normal to feel this way.

@Runnergirl1 Congratulations on your BFP!

Sending lots of love to everyone and keeping my fingers crossed!

Any tips on keeping calm/relaxed/stress-free?

@ZoeJade welcome, to keep calm, what works for me is to ignore the cycle completely until af is due, I normally manage until a couple of days before, but for panicky stress, you are in good company

@Sausage1990 oh IT is, it feels like forever when you are amongst it

@ZoeJade welcome. Everyone here is lovely and there is never tmi. Hopefully you get your bfp soon x

@Franklydear wouldn't it be nice for the one year TTC anniversary to be a BFP! 🤞

@Skip86 Fair point, this year has been a mission. Just a different mission to the one expected.

@ZoeJade welcome 👋 hope you don't have to be around here for as long as some of us have been.

Hi girls!

Thought I'd check in on everyone whilst OH has the football on 🙄

@Runnergirl1 congratulations!!! That's lovely news to come on to! So so pleased for you 🌈💕

@ZoeJade hiya hun! I'm on cycle 4 now of TTV our first. Went through the same as you first two cycles it literally consumed my every waking minute and totally stressed me out. As others have said now I just try and ignore it till AF is due that way I can't panic... Try not to symptom spot and whatever happens, happens! And for me when AF does show, a glass of wine/beer/gin and chocolate and a hot bath always does the trick! I aren't temping or checking CM or anything just trying regular sex into second week of cycle. Good luck lovely x

Welcome @ZoeJade

@KateColx hey! How have you been keeping? How far along are you now?

@Katao hi lovely! Yeah not too bad thank you ☺️ I'm just over 9 weeks now, we actually had a private scan today so OH could come and we saw a little wriggler 🥰 generally okay aside from constant nausea 🤢 and not wanting to eat any foods! How are you?? Feel like I've not caught up on here for a while x

Thanks everyone for welcoming me and for your tips on avoiding stress! It’s a great idea to look forward to a wine/gin when AF comes. I’ve basically had a drink for nearly three months but I think a drink is a nice treat to look forward to! I really need to try to take my mind off things during the TWW.
I’m thinking after cycle 3 if I’m still getting BFNs then maybe I’ll try not to measure my temp or do OPKs and just see what happens!

@KateColx Congratulations!! How exciting to see your little one on the scan!

@KateColx wonderful!

Aw @KateColx your little wriggler looks adorable! Great you got to go to the scan together. Hope your nausea settles soon. No news from me unfortunately! 😂

Aw thank you lovelies 🥰

@Katao ah thank you! Yeah it was nice for him to come, especially as god knows what all of the rules will be now going forward 😩 I hope there's some news from you soon! 🥰 Where are you at now? X

How's everyone's weekend been? The news of another lockdown has got me a bit down 😩😔 I was struggling working from home still and now lockdown on top of that 🤯 x

@KateColx omg look at your little bean😻💓
