Omg @Rose2108! Definitely a line! How are you feeling today? Eek so exciting for you!! 💕

@AKcheer hope the SA goes ok, let us know how your husband gets on!

@8LPS I’m just taking wellwoman original at the moment because I took them without any problems before TTC and they have the right amount of folic acid/vitamin D etc. I’ve taken Seven Seas too which were fine for me! Also took Pregnacare in August and November and both times my cycles were nearly a week longer than normal...could’ve been a coincidence though I guess?! Not tried Conceive Plus though, let us know how you get on!

Still no positive OPK for me, CD19. Annoyingly started OPKs (the CB ones) a little early this month just in case and of course have now run out haha. I’ll assume O day is this week some time and will try and DTD every other day or so!

Rose2108 · 24/02/2021 09:48

Ladies thank you all so much for your positive vibes and lovely messages! I am trying not to get too excited... I was wide awake at 3am thinking about all the things I have read saying short luteal phase has higher risk of MC... God it is a never ending stress isn't it. I did another strip test this morning, it definitely has a slightly darker line on it compared to yesterday. I am going to try and not test again until the weekend as I will be 14dpo then and hopefully I will get a certain result!

@KerryW87 that is so lovely, I said to my husband "I'm going to tell the girls" and he thinks I mean my "real life" friends but I mean you lot haha. You are my friends !! OMG back to a bit of normality for you then... are you enjoying being back at work? Also, I was always doing that with my thermometer lol. I just then would rest for maybe 5 mins and take it, checking my heart rate on my fitbit has gone back to resting. It's not an exact science but roughly, over some months, it is worth it.

@8LPS I haven't done the slutty ones but I do keep looking at them! I follow Nelly London on instagram and she always does her bakes on Sunday which then inspires me to do them! I keep looking out the window thinking I can't wait for summer days outside... It's so close I can smell it!

Thank you @JLP256 I feel fine just a bit sick, but that might be nerves! I need to try and distract myself. Every time I go to the loo I am worried I will bleed or something. Ah you are a late ovulater like me! This cycle I ovulated on CD19 this time, Jan was CD23! I was so sick of that flashing smiley face.

@AKcheer how are you doing? xxx

AKcheer · 24/02/2021 13:58

Hey guys! I’m 1 day late - tested but BFN proper white again! I’ve just got period cramps and like brown discharge? Anyone had this before? I’m so confused this has never happened to my period before. Like where is it please?? This is really strange for me so I’m now stressing. Is it lost!?? I’ve got all my PMS cramps and stuff though help!!

@8LPS I’m ok!! But I’m so confused ^ what’s going on? Also your version of duffins sound amazing!!!

@KerryW87 I’m so confused ^^!! Where is AF??

@Rose2108 how are you feeling!! I’m still over the moon for you!! How’s your OH? I bet he cannot wait!! What did you do different this cycle do you reckon?!
I’m not feeling great tbh because my periods gone missing and I have this brown gunk, bfns and I just want my proper normal
Period I usually get!!!

Rose2108 · 24/02/2021 20:15

@AKcheer I've been there, been late a fair few times with spotting. It usually arrives in its own time. So dissapointing when you get the stark white test 😩 I hope either way something happens soon, limbo is awful.

DH and I are sort of quietly excited and optimistic but not yet able to accept it is true! I think a proper test at the weekend will do the trick. For now I'm just gunna take it easy, eat my veg and hope it sticks. We DTD every other day all month basically. Used conceive plus on the key days. I laid still for half an hour after with a pillow under my waist xxx

KerryW87 · 24/02/2021 21:08

@AKcheer Ahhh how frustrating 😩 I know you're a day late but how many DPO are you? I so hope it's just a case of testing too early! How you feeling? 🤞

@Rose2108 I really am enjoying being back! So lovely to see all the kids again. It's stressful, though as my two are older and so schools for their age group aren't back yet so homeschooling is definitely going to take a hit since my partner works full time. Just got to get on with it and hope all schools are back soon! 🤞

I'm sure by the weekend it will be a blazing BFP! 💕🎉

So I got my day 21 bloods done...now on CD9 and they're only just back, and then when I phoned they said they couldn't just give me them because I needed a doctors appointment for the doctor to go over them....no appointments until a week tomorrow. IDEAL 😂🙃 So that's annoying but hey ho, will just need to wait...at least we're all pros at that here 😂

Hope everyone's doing ok! :) xx

8LPS · 24/02/2021 21:46

@Rose2108 - OMG OMG OMG!!! I can see a line! Finally some good news for one of us! ♥️♥️ I can understand why you don’t want to get your hopes up yet, but keep us posted on your weekend! 😃
And thank you - I thought lavender is to hardy for me to be able to kill it 😂 oops, hopefully it is!
Her triple choc brownies are amazing 😋 have you tried her slutty brownies?? If not, stop what you’re doing and make them! 😂 they are gorgeous!
100% - the obsessions during TTC are just crazy! Hopefully you’re all done with that now though fingers crossed!

@AKcheer - hey how are you feeling? Sorry the test came back white 😒 sometimes, the different symptoms just give a tiny glimmer of hope.
Oh amazing, I love duffins but only made them once - pistachio and white choc ones! Although I like to call them ‘muffnuts’ instead 😁🤣
Hope the hubby gets on ok with his SA! 🙈 poor guy! 🙊

@KerryW87 - omg if something as tiny as dropping the thermometer didn’t affect the temp, I’d be way more reliable with doing it! Like this morning, I woke up at 5am and I thought I’d be able to get back to sleep, but I couldn’t. So obviously the longer I was awake, I couldn’t take my temp at all because I think you’re supposed to take it as soon as you wake up..? Which is annoying cus I’m meant to be ovulating any day now.
Ah thanks for your opinion! The reviews on Conceive Plus look too good to be true, and they are VERY expensive!!! But having been at this for nearly a year, I’ll give it a go.
I’m ok thank you, how are you? I got a peak on my OPK yesterday morning, I might be ovulating today or tomorrow so we DTD yesterday afternoon and again tonight. Don’t normally DTD 2 days in a row but I really don’t want to miss any chances. I feel like me and DH should have been DTD more over the last few days but we haven’t at all, apart from yesterday. So I might’ve messed up our chances this month unless yesterday or tonight’s activities help lol! 🙈

8LPS · 24/02/2021 21:49

Hi oops sorry I posted the previous message

KerryW87 · 24/02/2021 22:05

Sorry to subject change guys...just quickly if anyone has advice! Has anyone had pink EWCM? I'm only CD9 so a good 3/4 days before ovulation for me usually. I also hardly EVER notice CM (which is why I use Preseed because I'm scared I don't get any). This was really stretchy and would be clear if it weren't...pink? 😂🙃 Is this normal I wonder or if it's blood tinged does it mean something is up. I had a red bleed on CD10 last cycle too, wonder what the hell is going on with me! 🤦🏻‍♀️

8LPS · 24/02/2021 22:30

@ JLP256 - yes I will definitely let you know if there’s anything I notice about Conceive Plus! It’s worth a try even though they’re expensive seeing as the other two types I’ve tried haven’t helped much. Was thinking to just buy folic acid tablets as that’s what the NHS ensure says is all we need, and I take cold liver oil/vitamin D anyway.. but want to give Conceive Plus a go.
That’s really interesting that your cycles were a week longer on both separate occasions that you took Pregnacare?! Could be coincidence, but even though our bodies aren’t doing what we want them to do right now, they have a funny way of also being like clockwork sometimes? Lol..
Good luck with the DTD - how do you normally manage the TWW? Are you usually able to take it easy?

@Rose2108 - I’m so excited for you! I know it’s easy for me to say but try to stay away from all the articles and Dr Google telling you all about MCs. It’s just going to freak you out. That’sa good plan to take it easy and easy your veg! How are you feeling in yourself??
Ahh I know, summer can’t come quick enough! Loving how the days are getting longer and longer, and love that it’s still light when I finish work for the day too. Finally ordered some garden furniture so it’s something other than TTC to look forward to! It’s hard to get out of my baby-making head sometimes!
I tried to look up Nelly London and found two that might be her but couldn’t see any photos of her bakes- I probably wasn’t looking hard enough! Baking will be something nice and relaxing for you to do ☺️

@AKcheer - I’m so sorry I don’t know what’s going on with your AF - when it happened to me, I didn’t know but looking back now, I blame my tablets. it’s sounding odd but as Kerry said, I wonder if you could have tested a bit early?
Are you ok? Any movement from AF at all? I wish it could be a simple - yes you’re pregnant or no you’re not. All these different weird things that happen really just throw us off and make us panic!

@KerryW87 - pros at waiting is an understatement lol! 🤣😂 that’s annoying you have to wait so long, hopefully this week will fly by!!
It sounds like life is back to full on (sort of) normality again for you! How are things going up in Scotland now that lockdown ended? I can’t wait to see people again but I can’t help but think that BoJo is just overreaching, and getting our hopes up, with all of his predictions! 🤨 I’m hoping he proves me wrong 🤞

BumbleB1 · 25/02/2021 09:15

Hi girls, hope you don’t mind me tagging along.. I posted about potential implantation bleeding or maybe MC and @Rose2108 kindly responded with some advice and told me about this supportive group!

I’m 25 and this is my 5th month of TTC for baby no.1. No luck so far but had a strange bleed this month which I thought could be implantation but tests are BFN. I haven’t been using OPKs or tracking BBT but have just ordered a thermometer so will try BBT and see if that helps. Coming up to my next fertile window next week according to my app. so still trying to stay optimistic 😊

Sending positivity to you all 💖

Rose2108 · 25/02/2021 09:41

Morning Ladies,

@AKcheer any progress, I hope your body is sorting itself out by now! I guess it could be v late implantation, but I think a test would show by now? You're about 16 dpo aren't you? Sometimes stress has delayed my AF in the past... hope you feel okay hun. How was the SA!? Lol did you help him... ! xx

@KerryW87 sorry I haven't had that; I guess it could just be some tissue left from AF. I had this thing with my cervix for a while when I used to bleed after we DTD, it was some kind of.. erosion? It sorted itself out, this was a few years ago and the GP was relaxed about it when I had a check-up.

@8LPS I have been pretty good since doing the test! I just meant before that when I was so worried about the short luteal phase... I did go down a rabbit hole... I keep thinking, this is my first BFP so at least we know it can happen, even if it doesn't work out (fingers crossed it does though). Yeah I feel fine, quite tired but I think that is normal for me at the moment, fatigued with lockdown! Also quite hungry but again... normal lol.

Still no AF for me and a stronger line on the strip test... getting there slowly... I told my bestie and said I feel so anxious, she said that probably will last about 18 years haha! I have tomorrow off work which will be nice, going to sort out some bits in the house and go for a long walk. I am so bored WFH I get so distracted... whoops.

@BumbleB1 hey girl hey!

AKcheer · 25/02/2021 11:30

Guys AF is here lol thank god.
@Rose2108 but why does the body play so many tricks!! It’s so annoying!! Like periods here, no it isn’t? Bfns. Oh gosh hate this! Oooh thanks for that I will try this cycle! He has to wait 8-10 days for his SA lol but he felt the need to show me the pot once he did it and said “I think it looks normal”!? 😂😂 I’m so excited for you! So proper test at weekend?? How many months/cycles have you gone through to get hour BFP? Remind me plZ

Hey @KerryW87 AF started to arrive last night and here now woo! Feeling optimistic for the next round as always LOL. Saw your more re your bloods. So don’t know if this is the same but at gp you can ask the receptionist to email you the results while you wait? Not sure if you want this but FYI. How are you feeling?

@8LPS do you reckon it’s these seven seas? It’s like is it this? Is it the maca? Don’t really know what to do but AF is here. She started last night and coming through now. How are you?

Hey and welcome @BumbleB1 how are you? Ahhh what was the bleeding like that you had? Did you have a proper period this month? What’s your cycles etc usually like? Think everyone here has been trying over 5/6 months. I started trying last august and going onto cycle 9 now. It’s a long journey!!!
I find OPKs so helpful. I’ve never tried BBT I’ll mess it up lol.

OP posts:
jules5232 · 25/02/2021 14:25

@KerryW87 that's so frustrating you have to wait for any results until next week! We have all become experts at waiting but somehow it's never any easier.

@BumbleB1 welcome to the group!! I couldn't quite figure BBTs since my sleep is a mess so I'm not much help there, but I would suggest trying out OPKs soon. They are quite easy to learn and seeing the positives can help you learn a lot about your cycle.

@AKcheer I'm glad AF finally showed for you, such a pain when you see spotting and have to wait for her to finally come on. Waiting for test results feels like forever! I hope they come back with good news.

@Rose2108 I completely understand re the anxiety. I can tell you it will certainly last for at least a few more weeks but I imagine it's around for the long haul. Just try to avoid looking up any symptoms or questions you might think up... easier said than done, I know... Google will make the anxiety so much worse! I'm excited to see what your test this weekend will bring. Enjoy your walk and time away.

BumbleB1 · 25/02/2021 19:23

@Rose2108 had a bit of a catch up on the thread, looking forward to an update from you after this weekend.. it definitely sounds like good news 😁!

@AKcheer hey, thank you! I’m okay thanks, felt a bit deflated this morning when I got the BFN but I’m trying to stay positive that my time will come. Cycle has been regular since coming off pill, about 33 days. The bleeding was 2 days early according to my app, and AF is usually on time or late. Had pains only on day one and normal red blood, but bleeding only lasted about 2 and a half days and the last day was very minimal and brown. AF typically lasts 5 days for me so I was hoping it might have been implantation. No other bleeding this month, test today was a week after bleeding ended so I think if it was then it would show positive by now 😕..

We’re all quite similar in terms of length of time trying then. Is this for your first? Maybe OPK is the way forward but I’ll see how I get on with BBT first, thermometer should arrive soon and I wake up pretty much same time every day so hopefully we get quite accurate readings.

@jules5232 hi! thank you 😊 I didn’t realise sleep would make a difference, or is it that you don’t wake up at the same time each day? I feel so new to all of this, I don’t really know what I’m doing 🙈 just hoping the tracking will give me more of an idea of when I ovulate, because at the moment I’m just relying on my app! OPKs seem to be a favourite here so I may need to try them next.

Is this your first time TTC? I’ve tried catching up on the thread but it’s hard to keep track of who is who and where they are with their journey!

Rose2108 · 25/02/2021 19:53

@AKcheer I'm glad AF arrived and you feel relieved about that! Yep, one month closer to your BFP 👍 June was the first month we didn't use any birth control, so nine months. I feel like I learnt so much along the way about my cycle and conception etc, feels like a lifetime ago. Only started to track my cycle properly and opk in November. I'm going to walk into town and buy a proper test tomorrow to do on Saturday morning. Eek! Hoping the SA comes back relatively soon.

@BumbleB1 yeah this is quite a long thread so I don't blame you for getting a bit lost. We've had a few BFP's too. Thank you for your positive vibes. This is the first ttc for most of us I think.

I went for a walk with my mum today and it took all my strength not to blurt out I THINK IM PREGNANT!!! I just know she will get so so excited and I think it's too soon to do that!

My work are doing a team chocolate tasting tonight, excited! On zoom of course... Have a good one ladies xx

Lynne425 · 26/02/2021 15:00

@Rose2108 hey just catching up with messages and OMG that's def a line 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you!! Brilliant to get some good news - hopefully a run of BFP in this thread 💕 we are definitely due it.

Hope everyone is doing well - I'm turning my focus on looking after myself for the next few weeks until AF finally appears but got my BFN this morning 😊 (funny how the tables turned and I've been wanting to see this this month) so know the procedure worked last week and time to move on!!

Hubby and I were talking last night about starting to try again and he said to maybe hold off a few months as he said he didn't really want a baby at Xmas 🙈 but I told him that it took us 6 months to get the bfp the last time I don't really care when I would be due if it meant a pregnancy & healthy baby! Think he understood but will see what happens when AF arrives xx

AKcheer · 26/02/2021 17:09

@jules5232 Thank you! How are you feeling?

@BumbleB1 Yes it will! The girls on this thread say another month is one step closer to that BFP so we need to literally meditate on this lol. Sounds like your periods are usually normal, but when we're trying to TTC don't know why but our bodies and period always does weird things. It literally tricks us 99% of the time!!!
Yes trying for my first....I just want one now! But i'm hoping March is a lucky month for me and for you! Yeah maybe try the OPKs out....just get the cheap ones from amazon, I use premom and there's an app!

@Rose2108 yeah definitely! And she's all normal loads of nice blood just what I want to see but hopefully next month is the month! How are you? Have you managed to get your test! OMG imagine when you do tell your mom this is going to be amazing!!!!

Hey @Lynne425 was thinking about you how are you! Right, now you can start fresh. How does this work then, do you know when you will get AF roughly or is it just a waiting game? Yeah or maybe wait for AF....then don't talk about it...and make sure you do the deed on ovulation days and he will never know haha! It will be nice to keep trying though especially if it's casually!!

What's everyones weekend plans apart from cooking and baking?
Lockdown seems to have a light at the end of the tunnel....anyone booked any holidays or anything?

OP posts:
Lynne425 · 26/02/2021 19:56

@AKcheer it's just a waiting game really! They said it can take 3-8 weeks usually for AF to come back so fingers crossed it's just the normal 28 days 🤞🏻🤞🏻

However I can ovulate so could get pregnant before AF comes 🙈 but tbh we haven't even DTD since we found out and would rather wait until I get a proper AF so i know for certain my body is back to normal xx

Rose2108 · 27/02/2021 12:26

Hey girls. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine. It's so mood lifting isn't it!

Thank you so much @Lynne425, I have been thinking of you and I'm so glad you got your AF and a fresh start. I know what you mean about Christmas babies but my mum was born around Christmas and she's wonderful! All the December babies I know are such lovely people! Just see how it goes I suppose.

@AKcheer really not sure when to tell people. Think I'll see how the next few weeks go! Excited but seems too soon! We are supposed to be going to Kos in June for a wedding, not sure if it will happen. Other than that think we will stick to UK breaks for now. We've been jet Washing this morning and I'm going for a walk with my aunt now! We are gunna watch a film tonight and tomorrow have another online escape room with friends. What u upto? Xx

I did a digital test this morning which gave me a BFP so I'm going to stop testing now! It feels quite surreal, I feel quite nervous and a bit in denial but of course excited. I have been feeling quite sick for about a week now and just making sure I eat all the right things. Let's see what the next few weeks have in store for me!

Lynne425 · 27/02/2021 12:31

@Rose2108 congratulations on your proper BFP I'm soo happy for you 💕

As you say I don't know why he's soo against a Xmas baby because he knows it doesn't 'just happen' so could be a few months before it actually happens so I think just go with the flow see what happens xxx

Lynne425 · 27/02/2021 12:43

🙈🙈 just read that message back and realised I wrote happened like 3/4 times - think I'm needing to go out a nice long walk. My head is mush lol x

JLP256 · 27/02/2021 21:53

@Rose2108 massive congratulations on your digital BFP, must be amazing to see it in writing! So excited for you 💕

@Lynne425 really glad the procedure went ok and hope AF comes soon for you 😊

@BumbleB1 welcome! Hope you’re ok. Have you started with the BBT tracking yet?

@AKcheer glad your normal AF arrived and you can focus on your next cycle. I’ve not got any holiday plans but hoping to at least have a UK break over the summer. Would love some proper sun though! Have you got anything booked?

Hope everyone is well and has been enjoying some nicer weather x

8LPS · 01/03/2021 08:55

Good morning all, I hope you’re all well acc has a lovely weekend? ♥️

@BumbleB1- welcome to the crew! How are you getting on so far with taking BBT? I tend to forget until I’ve moved around and by then it’s too late, which isn’t helpful! 🤦‍♀️ you’ve said it’s your fertile week this week, so good luck!!

@Rose2108- oh bless! Yeah I can understand why you’re having those thoughts, it must be difficult to just go with the flow since you’ve been TTC for a while now.. but staying in the present can help so much! Did you have a nice day off the other day? I’ve got today and tomorrow off and it feels great to have an extended weekend! Haha I’m the same when it comes to WFH 🙈 I have to put my phone on the other end of the room so that I don’t keep picking it up! 😁
Haha that’s so funny! I barely wouldn’t have been able to keep it from my Mum either! 😂 do you know when you might tell? Or how you do it?
How was the team chocolate tasting?? 😋 🤤

@AKcheer- hey how are you doing? It must feel so weird that you’ve actually been wanting AF to come this month!
I really don’t know of it’s the tablets you know.. I haven’t been taking the Seven Seas tablets for nearly a week now, and usually by now (currently in my TWW) I would’ve been suffering with all sorts of symptoms. The only symptom I’ve had is boob ache. I’ve been taking Conceive Plus tablets since Friday and touch wood haven’t experienced any weird symptoms so far (apart from weird coloured wee 😂).
I’m ok thank you, in my TWW and trying to stay active and busy! It might be a psychological thing, but since stopping those tablets I haven’t had my usual “ooh I just felt something in my stomach, maybe I’m pregnant!!!” symptom spotting kind of thoughts and I’m really loving it. I woke up this morning feeling really worried about how it’s about to be an entire year since we started trying and I’m just feeling like I’ll probably be 40 before I have my first kid - not that there’s anything wrong with that of course! But I’m going to be 33 in July and I’m shitting myself that I’m getting older and therefore my chances of conceiving naturally are slowly diminishing because I’m getting older 🥺
How are you feeling now?

BumbleB1 · 01/03/2021 09:53

Hi girls, hope you all had a lovely weekend. The weather around here was so lovely ☀️

Thank you for introducing me @Rose2108, it’s great to hear about all of your experiences and advice. Congratulations to those who have had BFP! Aww I would’ve been the same, I guess it’s hard to know when the right time is but imagine how amazing it will be when you do!

Zoom chocolate tasting sounds fab, how did it go? I did an online escape room through Macmillan and it was better than I expected, some of it was quite difficult too and I like a challenge! Would definitely recommend. They also do quiz nights and murder mystery which we’re going to try next.

@AKcheer that’s a great attitude to have! Yeah I’ve heard this, so frustrating though but just got to accept it and keep trying. Aw that’s how I’m starting to feel, it’s like everyone around me are having babies (some of them not even planned!) and I’m like when’s my turn!! Yes keeping my fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🏼🥰 okay thank you, will look into it.

Hey @Lynne425 I’m new to group and have tried my best to catch up.. just wanted to say I’m so sorry to read about what you went through 😔 it sounds like you’ve been doing really well and are in a good place at the moment though 💗 Sending you positive vibes for the next part of your journey.

Hi @JLP256 👋🏼 Yes thank you, glad to have found a lovely group to join. Not yet, my thermometer hasn’t arrived 🙄 but hopefully it will this week! Have you tried it? How are you? Where are you on your TTC journey?

@8LPS hey, thanks! Haven’t started yet as my thermometer hasn’t arrived 🤦🏻‍♀️ But will hopefully start at some point this week. Ah yeah it sounds like you have to be quite precise on when you do it, will see how I get on!! Thank you very much! How are you? How are you getting on with TTC? I read that you’re in your TWW, I hope you get the news you want!

Sorry if I’m asking lots of questions, I get lost with who is who and it’s so nice to hear what stage everyone is at!

Rose2108 · 02/03/2021 09:10

Morning Ladies,

@Lynne425 Lol, I do that sometimes, and read my messages back and think I just said the same thing! Our minds in TTC are all over the shop, it is such a rollercoaster isn't it. Can I ask, you early scan, was that 6 weeks? Did you book it privately?

@JLP256 Thank you :) how are you?

@8LPS Thanks! I had a lovely day off on Friday, just nice to break up the routine of WFH life. I do that with my phone too, or end up on instagram!

I don't know tbh. I feel quite odd, like it isn't happening? The fact we haven't barely told anyone, and I haven't been able to speak to a Dr or anything, I don't know what I expected really but just feels odd now that your body takes over and you have no clue what is (or isn't?!) going on in there... I have to tell myself millions of people have babies all the time and I found out really early so bound to take some time for things to happen....

I briefly went over to the pregnancy forum on here and I don't think I will do that again. I do understand it is good to share experiences but every post I read seems to be people saying "I have 3 MC's before this", or "just had a MMC" or something. I know it is real and you have to be aware of it but just makes me feel like something is bound to go wrong. As you say, best to be present in the moment and try to be positive! It's a bit cliche but my current thinking is to tell my mum and dad on mothers day, I will be 6 weeks by then. And if I had a loss after that I would tell them anyway. Probably keep it under wraps until then.

Also, try not to worry about your age, I know it is easier said than done but more and more people are having kids in their 30's. A lady at work just had her first and she's 42. You still have alot of time. I will hopefully be having a second when I am about 33/34!

@jules5232 - Can I ask, did you have a private Dr? I called yesterday and the women on reception was so unhelpful and said "You need to register the pregnancy online" - Had no idea what she meant or where! And haven't told any friends who live near me! I managed to figure it out online (have to register through closest hospital), but I want to talk to a GP to ask some Qs re medication I have taken and also my low iron. Just feels weird that a little plastic test says positive and then that's it? You just sit and wait for 12 weeks?! When I did the online form it said "someone will be in touch, this may take up to six weeks" ... I will be 11 weeks then!! The whole thing is making me feel a bit anxious, I just want to talk to someone for reassurance. Trying to phone this morning but have been on hold for 20 mins...

The choc tasting was lovely ladies! It was hotel choc and they sent a box to the house and then did a zoom session! @BumbleB1 We did the macmillan murder mystery, it was good fun! And have done the horse racing night too with my grandad bless him!

The one thing I think I forgot to mention ladies is that we used conceive plus this cycle, the fertility lube. Not the ones you insert into you but just the tube of lube. We just used a really small amount when we DTD the day before and after peak ovulation. Who knows if it made a diff, but it's the first time we used it, plus pinpointing ovulation with sticks and bbt. And also, seems obvious, but laying still for half an hour afterwards. xx
