@gizmo167 keeping fingers and toes crossed for you xx 🤞🤞

Congrats @PumpkinEverything that’s a very definite positive

Fingers crossed for you @gizmo167

@bez91 honestly, its the sorest boob every. My DD even says now "what ur sore boob Mummy" I moan about it that much.

My sis in law had her twins today, all well which is fantastic but sitting here having a wee cry to myself.

I have honestly been thinking this past couple of days about how much longer we will TTC. It's almost 2 years since we started trying for baby number 2 and just not sure how much longer I can keep putting myself through it. I think I coper ok with the MC because I had hoped we would get pregnant quick again but i'm not convinced, especially since our timings were out this month

@PumpkinEverything Congratulations amazing news ☺️

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, we were painting our kitchen all weekend.

Congratulations @PumpkinEverything Fingers crossed for a sticky bean 🤞🏻🌈 How exciting.

I'm still waiting for my peak. It seems it's a couple of days later each month. Fingers crossed I get it tomorrow. Still getting a high result atm.

Congrats @PumpkinEverything !! That's such lovely news to see

Another high result on my monitor. It's got to be peak tomorrow surely. I'm trying to stay chilled but the truth is I'm so desperate for a BFP. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻🌈

Who is testing next? This is my first ever time tracking ovulation ect so the wait to test is brutal! I would normally only test a few days before AF was due, or on day of / after

@Pancakes7 getting the high result every day is horrendous isn't it! How many have you had now? Fingers crossed you get it tomorrow x

@Pancakes7 I'm on my second day of high just now so not impatient quite yet! By my tracking app that I used before if my cycle is back to 28 days as it was before MC I should ovulate on Friday or Saturday so we will see if I get peak on either of those days.
If it happens earlier I'll be so glad I tracked it this month!

Fingers crossed your peak comes tomorrow for you. I have literally never felt like I wanted to fast forward the next 2 and a half weeks to see if AF comes this much in my life!

@PrettyPinkPansies @ELMcg I've had 6 days of high now.

I had 4 high results last month. I got peak on days 12&13 in Dec, then in Jan I got peak days 15&16. But I'm now on day 16 and still just on high. I hate the waiting! Then the wait to hope AF doesn't come 🙈🤞🏻🌈

@ELMcg I'm the same! I am always wishing away weeks/days to get to my AF and hoping it doesn't come. It's so hard isn't it.

@ELMcg flashing smiley has arrived for me today!

@Pancakes7 @ELMcg yeah wishing away the time until ovulation then wishing away the time until AF! It's also horribly resonant with wishing away the time in the pandemic overall 😑. I'm currently CD 11 and wishing away the time to ovulation

@Pancakes7 I had ten days of high so keep testing! X

@PrettyPinkPansies Oh really, thanks, that's good to hear. Are you also using the Clear blue fertility monitor?

Sorry ladies, I lost track of all the messages! But I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to @PumpkinEverything 😍😍😍😍😍😍 please keep us posted and all the best for a healthy happy pregnancy!!! 😘😘😘

Hope everyone else is doing ok! A quite light AF finally arrived for me yesterday, so I can start to move on now! 😃 I expect it will increase in the coming days!

@NatJ24 yes! So happy for you! We are so wonderfully in sync 😂

Fingers crossed not too long until our static smilies now!

@Florence15 I'm 42, if this one sticks I would be 43! I have pcos too which doesnt help! I ttc for 3 years to have my DD who is 7 now, I lost my husband almost 5 years ago and met my childhood sweetheart and we have been together now for a year and a half, I had the shock of my life when I fell pregnant last December but it wasnt to be, I had a mc in January at just 6 weeks. We werent prepared but it was devastating just the same and we have just went with the flow since so to speak! I had convinced myself that was my last chance and sort of made peace that it was all over for me.

I will test again tomorrow or Thursday, I caved in and tested last night again as I was convinced about evap lines! It def came up within the time window and was a tiny tiny bit darker in my opinion but still not convinced that I am actually pregnant!

@PumpkinEverything congratulations!!!!!

I got a negative test 8 days after my miscarriage and I have peak ovulation today (9days after). We have decided to TTC straight away, one dr in the EPU said to wait for one cycle and another said as soon as a negative test.

@gizmo167 everything crossed for you.

@gizmo167. It’s so hard when you get to our age, we have a 5%chance each month which is low isn’t it. But if women in their 50’s can do it so can we . That’s a good sign that it’s got darker yesterday, I’d try and hold off today and test again first thing 🤞. When is your af due? I’m like you! I have made peace with it that if it doesn’t happen for me then I still have two amazing kids and I’m so lucky. I will keep going until I’m 42 and see what happens: good luck tomorrow and let me know xx

@gizmo167 my situation is pretty similar to yours, I am going to be 42 in March so well aware that time is ticking away! I had been with my partner about a year when we accidentally got pregnant but that resulted in a mc and which was devastating even though it wasn't planned. We decided to wait for a while but have been trying now for a couple of years but more casually less tracking etc just if it happens. After the recent mc it made us really want it so bad and that's why we've stepped things up! Hopefully this is your sticky baby 🤞🏻

@Pancakes7 no I was using the clear blue advanced digital sticks, it's the same as the monitor though for low / high / peak days

@ELMcg I know 😂 I was thinking how funny it is how similar pattern we are following to each other!!!
I was happy to see the flashing smiley, could end up having him flashing for a while now but I was still glad to get it!

@gizmo167 I hope the line gets darker for you and its a stick baby 🙏

@Pancakes7 you are at a similar stage in your cycle then too with the flashing smiley🤗 I am on CD12!
