Aww, @KazMumTo2 we have a Ben or a Benji as we call him, 🥰

We have a Benjamin Alexander and a Sebastian James. If this next one is a boy it will be Thomas Stanley or a Girl will be Camilla (Millie) Mae.

I'd love a little girl for me, but I also hope it's a little boy because hopefully they'll all be besties. And if we fall in the next couple of months it will be 3 under 3. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Cakelaur · 15/02/2021 19:21

Ooh. I'm in for the next group too please... 😬 @WillowRose1411 looks like we may be in sync for next cycle too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm gonna be temping this time round so we can keep charts together!

girlmummy25 · 15/02/2021 19:29

Ahhh sorry about AF @WillowRose1411 @Cakelaur but atleast you both you know now.
Heres to another month all of us!

@Cakelaur ahh glad it finally came! Glad to be charting along with you!
@girlmummy25 wow that is quite a record! I can only manage 2/3 in a row 😂 going to try for 4/5 this month!
I’ll start a new thread but have lost track of all the people on here. I’ll add us few to begin with then add in any others who pop up on here in the meantime 😊

We could start a WhatsApp if that's easier?

Cakelaur · 15/02/2021 19:51

We managed 8 in a row with my first... it worked. And then my second was a surprise.
I'm going to be using conceive plus this month to give his swimmers a little helping hand. And opks, temping and I'm about to order some progesterone cream. I was gonna hold off. But nah I think I'm gonna go for it.

JessWi · 15/02/2021 19:57

How many people are still in at the mo? AF was due for me today, no sign of the old wench yet. Trying to hold off until Thurs before testing!

@Cakelaur how would we do that without putting our numbers on here? I’m not sure about putting it on such a public platform?
Happy to do it though if there’s another way maybe??
I do find it hard to keep up on here!
What does progesterone cream do can I ask? Are there any side effects or dangers? I’m going to look into it!

@WillowRose1411 awww sorry af turned up. Happy to join a new thread as we focus on the next cycle!

1sttime21 · 15/02/2021 20:08

Getting so fed up being stuck in limbo🙄 OH is trying to plan our honeymoon and all I can think is when will this hell end🤣

Cakelaur · 15/02/2021 20:09

Oooh @JessWi exciting!! Any signs and symptoms?

@WillowRose1411 I think we can private message someone with numbers? Or we can start a Facebook group if that's easier?

Cakelaur · 15/02/2021 20:09

How you doing @Mellous?

1sttime21 · 15/02/2021 20:22

@WillowRose1411
Not till November next year so he's driving me mad trying to plan it just now😂 bad enough trying to plan the wedding in the middle of a pandemic

Mellous · 15/02/2021 20:22

@Cakelaur I had the same feeling when af arrived for me this weekend! Never thought I’d be so pleased to see her haha. I’m doing okay though. Got a bit upset this evening thinking about my mc but just ready to focus on this new cycle. I’m cd3 @WillowRose1411 xx

KazMumTo2 · 15/02/2021 20:25

@WillowRose1411 my husband used to box (it’s in his blood) but now we are just fans!

@Cakelaur love the names...wow 3 under 3 that will be a challenge 😳

So I’m on cd4 today and I started recording my BBT (never done it before but it sounded interesting)! I’ve also worked out my BMI and I’ve put on so much weight during lockdown that I’m officially in the obese category; I don’t feel obese but 170cm and 14st 5 apparently works out to an obese BMI 😔 could be another factor limiting my conception chances so a healthy eating month for me I think! I’m going to start dtd every other day from this week until my next period (if there’s one night we are too tired then hopefully there will still be enough swimmers to make it) and I’m going to start taking OPKs from next Monday! My cycles are very up and down at the moment so don’t want to rely on what I think ovulation date will be!

Looks like a few of us in the running for a Mother’s Day gift 🤞🏻 X

JessWi · 15/02/2021 20:28

Nope not really. Had the usual sore boobs, mild cramps a couple of days ago but now nothing!! Feel as good as ever...very strange.

@1sttime21 I’m in the same boat, was due to get married this September but we’ve just decided to postpone until spring 2022, so we’ve been wedding planning during all this craziness too!

1sttime21 · 15/02/2021 20:36

@JessWi
Its crazy trying to plan in the middle of all this🙄 so ready for cancelling and just going to the registry office

Mellous · 15/02/2021 20:38

@KazMumTo2 also a newbie to temp tracking, trying it out for the first time this cycle and I’m already quite enjoying seeing the graph etc haha!

Ugh I’ve also gained during the last year or so of lockdowns. It’s sooo hard not to. I’m fairly active but it’s the chocolate at the weekends and evenings that gets me 🙈 I’m a huge chocoholic xx

KazMumTo2 · 15/02/2021 20:42

@Mellous me too on the chocolate front! Just didn’t quite realise how much I had put on until I added my weight into the app; being told BMI was obese did shake me up I must admit! I’ve only done today temp testing; looking forward to it being another signal towards ovulation like the OPKs...hopefully they match up and are in sync?!? X

WillowRose1411 · 15/02/2021 20:47

@KazMumTo2 I’m with you on the weight gain. Im a tall-ish size 14 BUT I am also healthy. ‘Obese’ doesn’t necessarily mean unhealthy- we are all different shapes and sizes. By all means eating healthily and exercising is always a good idea but it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to lose a tonne of weight to be truly healthy inside. I’m no expert but that my view anyway 😊

@mellous same here on the chocolate! Haven’t gone a day without it in years 😂

Cakelaur · 15/02/2021 23:18

@WillowRose1411 what about "the one where we all get our bfps"
Or "on track for mother day bfps"

I've gained a ton of weight since I had my second in April 2020. I'd like to shift a few kgs too... but worried about messing with ovulation. That's my excuse anyway! 😂

My next af is due on Mother's Day! 🙈 although I think it will be sooner than that. Cos ff is guessing a 27 day cycle, usually I'm more like 24/25... we'll see. I'm excited!!

Cakelaur · 16/02/2021 10:00

Ladies, @WillowRose1411 has created a new thread for us:
Baby bandwagon March ttc,

So hop along and join!

Anyone testing this morning?? Who's left in the TWW?
