Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@kaylsd thanks for the link to the reading, I might try that if no luck this time as her lead time is about 10 days. It really is so lovely, we had a long chat last night reminiscing! We shared some incredible moments of our teen years together for sure!!

Forgot to mention, first flashing smiley on CB this morning 🎉 so my cycle looks to be more in order this month thankfully!!

@kaylsd @lucea87 I think I'm of the same opinion. The only difference is that I'm pretty sure I haven't had it but I also have a weekly test and am very careful. My partner mentioned it the other day in terms of holidays but I'm just going to wait it out I think until either baby is here or there is more evidence x

We've had this conversation in terms of holidays too but I can't see how anyone will enforce it this year as there really won't be a huge amount of people who have had both jabs in time for summer so they won't make much money!! It'll be the end of the year at least I think. There's got to be a balance of testing and vaccines I think/hope.

Sorry busy morning!

I'm really worried about the vaccine. I should have it because my asthma has got really bad over the years but TTC journey has already been so hard I just don't want to do a single thing that could jeopardize it but I also don't want to end up in hospital again. I still wonder if the pneumonia I had in Oct 2019 was Covid but really early i.e. before it was made public. But it could just have been a common chest infection turned bad.
We've got a wedding in Poland in the summer but I really don't think I want the vaccine. I'm TOTALLY pro Vax but I'm also incredibly anxious about having a mini-us.
Yey for flashing smiley @lucea87 let the good times roll!
No AF yet. Literally taking 1 day at a time and hoping with everything that Jade's tarot was wrong for August.
I've got a unicorn 🦄 one due on Monday which should be fun. It's an American one I think - saw it on Peanut.

I have a positive OPK! Woooo. How long do I have?!

CB app told me yesterday I had missed it and to stop testing so I did. Used a cheapie this afternoon and two strong lines! Cheered me up after a conversation about my weird bleeding with my GP who barked at me 'well don't you think it's too soon to TTC?'

CycloGoose · 05/03/2021 15:01

Too soon @minthumbugs ?

So please you got positive opk! DTD asap! You should ovulate between 12 and 48 hours from now. Today and tomorrow your best bets xxx

Woohoo to the positive OPK!! Get at it!

@CycloGoose @lucea87 gutted I stopped with the CB, would have liked to have seen a smiley 😂 but hey ho, at least it's happening I had doubts!

It's worth a shot if you fancy something a little bit more detailed, I found it quite comforting to read something like that it felt a little bit more personal than the others 🙈❤️😘

That's my stance too, it's something I can control when I feel like it's more suited to have in my life, right now as I've being TTC 7 month I'm coming edging closer to the 12 month mark where investigations can take place I just thought I'd wait if I pass that mark without baby and then because investigations take time if I need them I'll most likely have it within that time frame but hopefully it won't come to that 🤞🏻🌈❤️😫

I wouldn't worry too much about the vaccination passport they'll be some clauses into international travelling like pre and post travel swabs as well as encouragement for the vaccination but they'll have to be some form of exclusion list like for those for example who's allergic to eggs and some of the vaccinations are egg based materials so they'll never be able to have the vaccination 🙈 it gives you something to look forward to too this year! You never know you might have a little baby bean growing inside you for the wedding 🌈🤞🏻❤️🥰

Wooopppp enjoy your next couple of days girl ;) 🌈 they say between 12-48 hours (some maybe aslong as 72 hours) I'm predicted my ovulation on my birthdayyyyyyyyyy next Friday what a way to celebrate I'm sure there's a song named after what I'll be looking forward to 😂 😉 🙈
lucea87 · 05/03/2021 18:39

@kaylsd ooooh yeah, it's gonna be a good birthday for you 😂😂

Few drinks here tonight and hopefully a bit of DTD later....! I did 2 femometer LH tests today and the second one had a faint line so looks like my peak is on the way 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Spent most of the day working clearing the oversized downstairs loo to make room for the dog so he has a 'den' because he hates the pen he has downstairs and can now get out. It's warmed my heart watching OH putting a baby gate up 🥰🥰

Omg that is the cutest thing ever, my Mable would love her own little spot but saying that she'll still find a way to come around us, I saw this video on Facebook of this dog and a voice over saying accept me as a grandchild grandma otherwise I'm gonna tell mum to send you to a care home 😂😂🙈 I also saw this what was quite cute! Made me smile :') dogs are the best, I actually think any animals is the best with the circumstances of the lockdown for the company point of view ❤️

lucea87 · 05/03/2021 18:59

@kaylsd our boy has his moments, his name is Rambo...he is Rambo by nature for sure 😂😂 he's 6 months next week so he's going through the teenage phase right now where is has forgotten everything we taught him. He has also had Giardia for ages now, only diagnosed a few weeks ago but on his second lot of medication now poor thing! I took him on a super long walk at lunch so hoping he will have a good sleep later 🤞🏼

minthumbugs · 05/03/2021 20:40

@kaylsd yesssssss perfect timing haha! Happy birthday ;)

CycloGoose · 06/03/2021 08:12

@Slinks8113 it could be implantation drop?

I'm so crampy most of the time at the moment. Thinking AF going to come early again. But there was a 🐝 on our school newsletter so I'm having that 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

We'll remember to sing happy birthday next Friday @kaylsd !!

Hope everyone is enjoying their flashy smileys and peak OPKs.

Hope all good with @Sallyjo27 and @els10

Have lovely weekends everyone xxx

Morning all, had the very slightest tinge of pink this morning and temperature back up but I don't want to read into it too much!! No 🐷 sightings either 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

MgW1 · 06/03/2021 09:19

@Sallyjo27
Hey
I have had 3 mc's and read you have had 4. Were you referred to recurrent mc clinic? What was the outcome if you dont mind me asking? I have been referred also 🤞🏻 xx

Slinks8113 · 06/03/2021 09:29

Also not that I'm particular superstitious but I've seen so many solo magpies for the last week and my mum used to always say one for sorrow....so I've been desperately looking for his mate each time 🕵🏼‍♀️😂

lucea87 · 06/03/2021 09:56

Morning girls 🥰

@CycloGoose 1000000% this is a sign 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 I have every crossable part of my body that you will see a positive test in a few days. Just hold on a little longer!

@Slinks8113 ask the solo magpie how his wife is today. That combats the bad luck. Apparently....!!!

How consistent do you have to be with BBT girls...I've been mostly the same time but 2 hours later than normal today....

minthumbugs · 06/03/2021 10:32

@Slinks8113 oh god I am so superstitious I have a whole magpie routine 😂

@CycloGoose really hope it's not AF and it's your month!

@lucea87 I haven't been temping but in the past when I've used it as contraception my app used to tell me 5/7 days was good enough so I'm not sure but maybe you could discount today? X

Happy weekend ladies... I have a SQUIRREL! Popped up on my FB this morning, very accurate as well 😂

TTC February/March
Slinks8113 · 06/03/2021 12:02

@minthumbugs Magpies and 3 drains are the things I usually stick to 😂 will have to ask him how his wife is going forward!
@lucea87 my app is always telling me off because I wake up at weird times. There is a converter online but not sure how accurate it is but it tells you what it would likely have been at the time you usually wake up. X

lucea87 · 06/03/2021 14:41

I tell you what girls I can't wait to be pregnant so I'm not hungover 🤣🤣
