@dizzy85 af came right on time today. Sigh. Onward to the next one ... How are you feeling? How many dpo now?

@ArjaD oh man how rubbish hope your ok! Have a nice glass of something 🥃and chill out until the next one. I am ok Thankyou, think I'm about 4/5 DPO

@dizzy85 really hoping you have better luck this month. It's some ride huh. currently chilling with a nice glass of rum on the rocks! 🤞🤞🤞

@ArjaD rum sounds delightful 😄🥃 thanks it is a ridiculously insane journey isn't it! I wonder how long we've been talking for?
Well I dunno what my body is doing but yesterday I had a weird bit of watery cm and today I've woke up with ovulation type pains and some EWCM so I'm now questioning if I ovulated when I thought I did, but I did have the usual EWCM etc before but didn't do an ovulation test. I've just done one now I'll show you a pic, so maybe I'm actually ovulating late this month, I'm cd18, I usually ovulate around cd13.

Confusing what do you think? I've not done these opks in ages

@dizzy85 hm defo looks like the start of a surge! I'd say yeah maybe late ovulation! I always tend to around cd17/18 so maybe we've aligned 😂

@ArjaD haha maybe we have! I guess it's back to dtd again then just incase. I'm sooo tired from work and I really can't be bothered 😂 I'll do some more opks just to see if they get any darker.

@dizzy85 I know what you mean, I'm either cleaning or massaging so dtd can be a chore after a tough day! But hey no way around it 😂 I'll keep my fingers and eyes crossed for you X You having a good weekend?

@ArjaD we managed to dtd yesterday and I'll try again later..maybe haha. Def keep those eyes crossed for me 🤪 my weekend was good Thankyou, we have eaten far too much tho...Chinese yesterday and Indian today😂 so not ready for Monday yet! How's your weekend been?

@dizzy85 lol, I hope you get on ok later! It was an ok weekend, visited family and tried to keep up with a hyper toddler. Am knackered! X

Morning lovelies! @ArjaD @dizzy85
I am beyond excited to announce how wrong my instinct was hahaha
We are having a beautiful baby girl!!!
What a moment! I was so extremely convinced it was a boy that the surprise was huge! And my husband was way out of his excitement!
Baby's name: Leia Ana 🥰
(Ana is after my mom)

@Sungirl11 awwww congratulations!!!! Super chuffed for you,now you can indeed name her after your lovely mum ❤️ wonderful to hear!!

@Sungirl11 omg a girl how lovely 🥰 congratulations 🥳 sorry I didn't see this earlier, that's a beautiful name too your mum will be proud ❤️💜❤️

I have just had a week of driving myself mad, my period didn't show and was a week late but it came today.

I think the pregnacare might have made me ovulate late hence the late period, I've read online it's happened to other ppl taking them, has anyone else experienced changes to cycle with them?

At least I know now so I can move on to the next cycle 🤪

@dizzy85 yes!y cycles were like five days longer when I started to take Pregnacare, so I binned them. Started to take the Seven Seas trying for a baby vitamins and they didn't alter my cycle thankfully.
Well ladies, we have decided not to have a second baby, after a lot of going back and forth. My husband has hit 40 and had admitted he's finding it hard to an keep up with our hyper 3 year old as it is. And I am glad we had the conversation. So we are just going to put all our effort into our little boy and leave it at that. I'm feeling my age too, I've just turned 38. But I'll be staying on the thread to see how you all go! Xx

@ArjaD ahhh really! How do you feel about it? Was it a mutual feeling/decision? I remember you had some feelings before about continuing or not.
Well I'm glad your still sticking around, hopefully something happens lol I feel like I've been on here forever👵🏻
Maybe I'll switch to them vitamins I can't deal with a longer cycle! Xx

@dizzy85 I feel quite calm about it. I've felt less and less broody and I do think my hubby is right. We're not getting any younger. So in away it's a relief because there's no pressure, I feel like I'm paying more attention to enjoying every moment with our wee guy. So it's all good ❤️ sorry to hear about af showing up for you. Xxxx how are you?

@ArjaD sorry I took ages to reply I had a little break from it. How are you feeling now about your choice are you still happy with it? I am currently back in the tww but this month I haven't properly tracked so let's see what happens. Hope your enjoying time with your little man still how old is he now? Xxx

@Sungirl11 hope your doing well xxx

hi girls!
I'm doing fine! Hitting 23w tomorrow and baby Leia is perfectly growing and kicking about.
I am struggling with back aches already and i'm not that fat yet! But aw well!
@ArjaD hope you are feeling ok! If that is the correct decision for you both then it's the one. My brother is in the same position and they have decided to stop too with one little girl. They will focus on her and them too and they are super happy with that.
@dizzy85 hoping it works soon for you! Keep us posted if you get any testing done or something, it's been so long already I don't get how you don't get tested still...
big hugs x

@Sungirl11 oh wow time is flying by! How's the nursery coming along is it finished yet?

I have had tests done last year and they told me everything is normal and to just keep trying. I found out from a lady the other day that you can only get IVF on the nhs if your 35 or under well I never knew that or I would have pushed for that which is annoying . I'm now 35 and 36 in November so if we have to get that then I'd have to pay which I definitely can't afford so I'm not sure what we will do yet but hopefully it works out 🤞xxx

@dizzy85 nursery is still a mess haha
We have loooads of stuff but still need to decorate and everything.
We are being lazy!
We do have everything already though, we got a John Lewis offer of 15% off plus some other discounts we found and got it all. (I'll leave some pics)

I don't think that is right! Because if you are being told to keep trying and almost 35 it's like they are refusing to treat you? The only cap I know from NHS is IBM over 30 and previous childs either side. But age is not one of them?
I would push if i were you... you are both ok but unexplained infertility also exists and you have been trying for a long time with a lot of MC which is not normal... I would literally go to my GP and say right give me a solution, you can see something is not right and are refusing to help me! And would get quite square with it... because age doesn't help...

@dizzy85 sorry for the late reply! I think I forgot to press post once I had typed one last time 🤣 Damian is 3.5years old now, hyper as anything ❤️ it suits us to just stick with him and focus on him. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders to be honest.
I have heard something like that about age caps on IVF from the NHS, I actually thought it was 33 so they must have changed it.
@Sungirl11 time is flying, I can't believe you're over halfway!

@ArjaD @Sungirl11 how are you both? Sorry I have been so rubbish at replying 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was so busy with work. Anyway this happened on Wednesday evening...😬😄🤞 my period was a week late I didn't test before and have only done this one test so I'm hoping all is good. I don't want to keep testing I just want to hope this is it so please keep everything crossed for me 🙏🏻xxx

Awwww @dizzy85 baby Leia and I all in force are sending all our virtual baby dust to you so that bean sticks!! ✨✨✨✨✨
I really really really wish this is it!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Please keep me posted ❤️

@Sungirl11 Thankyou ❤️🙏🏻 I have a scan on the 14th to see how things are going so will know more then, they are gonna check every 2weeks 🤞I really hope this is it. I will keep you updated. I hope you and baby Leia are doing well 🥰xxx

Yay dizzy!!!! Congrats! Praying for a wonderful 9 months for you!!
