Happy New TTC Bus - Jan 2021 - it's going to be a corker!

[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Thought I'd kick this off...

CD 7 for me following 2nd mc 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ready to kick the new year off with a bang (not literally, sorry husband), and get a blimin bun in the oven already!
Come on ladies, let's get each other through this. BFP's coming our way soon I just know it 😘💪🙌xx

Hey @33Carr how are you? Of course, will let you know how we get on! I know it probably isn't as thorough as the hospital tests but just for our own sanity we want to see if it gives us any indication of any low count. DH does a lot of biking and used to smoke so he has a few factors which could impact sperm count. Xx

@gracie2307 thanks love. Yes I'm with you on the temping. I've got a 4yr old so nights are rarely uninterrupted and on the nights he doesn't wake, I often end up waking anyway or my husband disturbs my sleep! Last month I had a picture perfect temp chart with obvious dip/rise for ovulation and again for implantation. I had high hopes for this month too and it is the most pitiful thing - ill upload both so you can see what I mean (Dec one doesn't show ovulation in green since I marked it as pregs) - 🤣🤪🤦🏼‍♀️
Really struggling for motivation today! Got work to do but just CANT BE BOTHERED! And the weather outside is just awful! Anyone else in London?
Yes it's probs worth you doing those tests just for peace of mind. We've had bloods and sperm checked and everything looking normal...which is reassuring. Slightly maddening too though as at least if there is an obvious problem you can work to fix it! I'm totally tempted by those expensive bracelets too, but then hope gets the better of me and it all feels unnecessary as I think well maybe I'll be pregnant this month anyway! 🤪
When is AF due for you this month?x

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Have you recovered now ? Was it covid in the end. Im in york just as grim here! X

@MgW1 yes thank you! Wasn't covid so I think it was just all the hormones from the mc wiping me out, or some other bug. 🤷‍♀️ Back to normal now though.
How are you feeling? Doing any more tests?xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Well i have had enough of testing 🤣
I think im out this month which is fine , gueds body not ready post mc and thats ok , been taking my vitamins now with dissolvable vit c after gp recommended it, its helped withmy anemia i feels lots better now. Im just bored!! I work 2 long days during the week and alternate weekend day so kids are at home 3 days a week , i should not complain as some people have it harder. I dont know how they do it!!! Easier in summer as weather nice this is truely shite!!! Xx

@MgW1 ahh that's good the supplements are helping! 🙌
And I know what you mean. I'm bored too! So grateful to not be homeschooling as ds is just still at nursery 🙏 He was home for 3 months during lockdown last year and it almost broke me looking after him and working full time solo (hubby is keyworker). SO much easier in summer for sure though. Roll on spring! 3 of my friends (who announced pregnancies just as I was going through first mc 🤦🏼‍♀️) are due in April, and although I had been looking forward to a spring/summer babe, I'm genuinely grateful to not be having a sprog just yet. I thought covid was going to be better by now! London is currently in a dire situation. Fingers crossed the world will be in a much better place by Oct/Nov/Dec and we'll get our babes!xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Im going to get the clear blue opks , really would like a babe by the end of the yr or definately by this time next year... im knocking on and have even been thinking realistically how long we will wait now before stopping trying 😫 i think im just having a really down day. Nothing worse than waiting for your af because you 95% sure your out is there ? Pissing it down , gona have a cuppa and let kids have an hour on the life support machine (ps4!!) Xx

@gracie2307 I'm good thank you! 2DPO and trying to keep myself occupied! How's your day been? My partner is exactly the same; very keen cyclist although he has calmed down a lot with it over the last 6 months. He used to be quite overweight, smoked and drank a lot so he's worried but he lives quite a healthy lifestyle now. The reassurance would be nice or if we need a bit of help then it will be good to know haha!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Got another faint ( squinter) on frer. 14dpo tomorrow , i should have tested tomorrow am really but i couldnt help myself. Also it looks like a fake test that i received from amazon as the actual test is plain? No first response stamp on ? Or writing ? X

Trying not to test is hard when you have nothing to keep your mind off it. Just keep trying to tell myself its too early for a positive result so no point doing it. I'm 7dpo at most right now. Need to just keep distracting myself

@MgW1 That's exciting! Especially in the evening and possibly not even on a proper FRER!! 🤗 Do you have enough tests to do another one tomorrow? Keeping everything crossed!x

Keep hanging in there @IndigoJam ! I only implanted at 8dpo last month so 9/10dpo would likely be the very earliest you'd get a positive unless you've got short cycles? Good luck! 🤞🤞🤞x

Feeling a bit urgh tonight...definitely counted myself out today with bfn on test but now feel really ropey and can smell ammonia really bad like I’ve just dyed my hair, anyone else had that? I’m 11 dpo and AF due in 3/4 days. Saving next test until then!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Googled it and it Makes sense now my hcg baseline is close to the sensitivity of the test. Naturally women have a baseline of up to 5 and the frer baseline is 6.5. Last time i got a really strong poritive days before my af. So im considering myself not pregnant!!! I just need my period now hurry up as we need to get down to business!!! I think our luck is going to change soon. I have my ultrasound (NHS) on tues... they only rang me today so cant complain with that!! X

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking my cycles are 26 days. I ovulate day 14 this cycle so a bit later than usual. So I'm trying to hold out cause I know its too early. I got a positive at 10dpo last time but I ovulate earlier then.

@MgW1 ahh that's great news about the scan. I had one before I got pregs and that did put my mind at rest. Would quite like another one now I'm post 2 mc as haven't had a check up since either of them! 🤷‍♀️ I'm sure all is well though, just don't think body has quite recovered from the last one yet..I guess it's only been 2.5weeks it just feels like a lot longer in lockdown life! 🤦🏼‍♀️
I know what you mean about wanting AF. When I feel I'm out I just want AF to arrive ASAP so we can start again! Hopefully you'll either get AF or a bold positive really soon x

@IndigoJam not too long to wait then 🤗 I've got slightly longer cycles - about 30days, and did get a positive on a FRER at 10dpo with all 3 of my pregnancies so you might get one at 9dpo?🤞 x

I've ordered the clearblue Bluetooth opks 😁😁

Welp, I just did my first test and it was a bfn. Oh well, I'm to the next.

Bfn for me again this morning @BabyAR22...back to it again next week 🙄

@SophieMorton

Bfn for me again this morning *@BabyAR22*...back to it again next week 🙄

Sorry to hear that! Roll on Friday!

BFN for me this morning!

Im just waiting for AF to come .... 😫 xx

@MgW1 same here !! Waiting game ....

2dpo today (if I ovulated 🤷‍♀️)....blimin long wait ahead 🤦🏼‍♀️
