dizzy85 · 29/07/2021 16:00

Hey hope everyone is doing ok. Another AF showed for me 😏 stuffing my face with cookies to make me feel better!

ArjaD · 29/07/2021 16:17

@ArjaD I am ok Thankyou..onwards and upwards 😆..ooh your at the fun part enjoy! I am gonna try this fertility lube this next cycle, it's made by first response and supposedly it helps keep the sperm alive longer and helps them get there so hopefully it's a winner! Xxx

ArjaD · 29/07/2021 16:49

@dizzy85 oh let me know the name of it if you can. We use preseed which was bingo first time last year, but obv we had MMC... Been using it since but no luck.

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 29/07/2021 18:30

@ArjaD it's called conceive plus, I got confused the pre seed one is made by first response, but I think they are both the same kind of thing. I'm def gonna give it a try.

Sungirl11 · 30/07/2021 09:17

Hi ladies!! We tried both those but no luck (ofc with the lazy swimmers not even that would work!) haha
I'm 16+3 already, time flies by... had my covid vaccine two weeks ago and was a bit terrified but all good.
Our next scan is on the 25th (20w) and it's miiiiles away! Haven't seen baby since w12! But we do listen to the heartbeat with the home fetal doppler once every week.
Will know the gender in 3w time on our party! Can't wait 😍

ArjaD · 30/07/2021 15:28

@Sungirl11 aw wow I can't believe how time is flying!! Keep us posted re the gender!! 💗💗🤗
That's my positive opk this morning so another day or two of bd for me before I can collapse 😂

ArjaD · 05/08/2021 21:21

How are we all doing everyone? I'm 6dpo now, feeling so exhausted but it may be because i have been doing part time cleaning jobs beside my massage therapy business, so i'm done in. Easy to lose weight when doing all this physical work mind! Getting fit! Everyone ok? Gimme a sign of life and please talk me out of testing LOL

dizzy85 · 06/08/2021 20:10

@Sungirl11 glad your doing good it's amazing how fast it's going! I'm so excited to find out your gender reveal 🥰

@ArjaD haha step away from the tests 😆 how are you feeling now? I do some part time cleaning jobs too and they are bloody exhausting!! I am in my fertile window again so trying to dtd every other day, I need to get that fertility lube I keep forgetting. Do you take conception vitamins? I hope it's our lucky months pleeeeeease universe 🤞

ArjaD · 06/08/2021 20:48

@dizzy85 yup I take the Seven Seas trying for a baby vitamins and I just got a tube of that fertility lube you told me about as we ran out of Preseed. Fingers crossed for you!!!! 7dpo and going mental here... Away for our anniversary weekend but trying not to drink much with having the wee man with us as an excuse!!

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 07/08/2021 09:57

@ArjaD aw happy anniversary how many years? I bet it's lovely to get away. Me and my OH fell asleep on the sofa last night and woke up at 4am 😂 we are officially old!! I am gonna go get some of that lube today. Are you planning to test before or wait?

ArjaD · 07/08/2021 16:07

@dizzy85 5 years married. Got my second Covid jab tomorrow eve so may try to test before but will only be 9dpo so not sure if that will be useful!! Yeah we fall asleep on the couch all the time lol. I tease hubby all the time about being old now that he's 40 🤣🤣

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 07/08/2021 22:11

@ArjaD aw 5 years married that's nice 😊 we aren't married yet but will do one day. Ooh fingers crossed for tomorrow i hope it's a bfp🤞 hope your jab goes ok too? which one is it? I've got my 2nd next month the Pfizer. Haha old people problems are happening 😂

Sungirl11 · 07/08/2021 22:29

Hi ladies!!
@ArjaD good luck for tomorrow & the following days!
Hope you feel ok after the vaccine, they say the second is a bit vile...
And congrats on those 5y! 😍

@dizzy85 i don't fall asleep on the couch anymore.. if I start to get tired I run to bed! Otherwise I wake up broken and going to bed is a nightmare haha
Hubs does stay longer and risks it haha

My second dose is also in Sept so still have loads to go.
We have been married for over two years 😍
We have been working on our baby's room this week, now putting the flooring. So this starts to look real! 2w to go until the reveal 😍

@Sungirl11 I used to be able to do that but only recently I fall asleep and that's it 😂 maybe now 36 is approaching this year that's what happens haha.
Which vaccine did you have? I'm still nervous about my second one.
How are you doing your gender reveal? Aw I bet it's so nice doing babies room what colours are you doing?

Sungirl11 · 08/08/2021 15:35

@dizzy85 I got Pfizer, my husband too.
My SIL is organising so I have no clue what is going on on our gender reveal... I just got this (photo) haha
And babies room is Star Wars themed so white, grey & black. With all my husbands Star Wars legos, some things we have from our wedding and some lighting to enhance the theme hahah (I know very freak!) will show you when it's all done, atm it's just emptying the room and hubs just finished the flooring. We have a John Lewis appt. on the 25th and will look at furniture etc. X

ArjaD · 08/08/2021 16:30

@Sungirl11 it's so exciting, we went with yellow for the nursery when we were pregnant the first time, because even though we were going to find out at 20weeks what gender he was, we couldn't wait to get started either 😂
@dizzy85 how's fertile week going? I took an early detection test this morning at 9dpo but bfn so went to get my second Jag anyway. Feel ok so far. Hoping it won't hit me like a tonne of bricks!

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 10/08/2021 10:27

@Sungirl11 oh wow that nursery sounds great I love a bit of quirkiness can't wait to see pictures😄

@ArjaD the fertile is going ok we've dtd as much as pos so just wait and see now. How you feeling have you tested anymore? How did your jab go?

Sungirl11 · 10/08/2021 12:21

Morning ladies!
18w today! Time flies soooo quick!
I'm getting quite big, I guess it's normal haha. I'll leave a pic of my enormous belly 🤣

Fourth thread for ttc!
ArjaD · 10/08/2021 13:40

@Sungirl11 wow!!! That must be a big baby lol, I don't think I had that big a bump at 18weeks but then my boy was a tiny wee soul 😂 you're looking fabulous!!!!
@dizzy85 yeah I took a frer this morning at 11dpo but bfn. So just counting myself out again. It all sucks a little but I can feel pmt so bad - it gets worse each month I swear!

OP posts:
dizzy85 · 10/08/2021 15:20

@Sungirl11 awww what a beautiful picture 🥰 definitely a lovely big bump!! It is going so quick.
I keep meaning to ask you but forget, did you pay privately for your ivf or did you get referred on the nhs?

@ArjaD aw I'm sorry to hear another bfn it does suck but 11dpo is still early so your not out just yet. My pms is getting so much worse each month too I feel horrendous sometimes but I think it's also added stress of not conceiving. It will happen for us!!

Sungirl11 · 10/08/2021 15:37

Thank you so much both 😍
We paid private treatment, the NHS/gp just laughed at us and were helpless...
So my mother offered to pay for it before she got so ill.
Baby is grandmas little miracle! ❤️
It cost us around 10k (IVF ICSI and meds).

dizzy85 · 13/08/2021 17:17

@Sungirl11 oh wow that is so expensive but definitely worth every penny! I do remember now you said about your mum offering to pay❤️
If nothing happens for me in another year then apparently they will refer me but hopefully it happens sooner than that.

@ArjaD how's it going?
