@Laurashakeyb I'm 3dpo 😅 might last till 8 before testing 🙈

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 21:26

Thank you @Bee44 wishing you a BFP this month too!🥰 @Small1607 ah it’s a pain waiting isn’t it! At 3dpo I remember I fell asleep on the sofa 😅🙈

Hi ladies, can I join?
I'm 31 and TTC #2. Have a 14m DD and want to give her a sibling! It took 5 cycles to concieve her. I had a MC back in Dec '18 so truly understand the pain and heartache of those of you who have suffered too. Took 7 cycles to conceive that time so I'm not expecting to get lucky straight away so just going with the flow.
Only just started TTC again as I had to wait for some surgery/recovery but that is all over with and I'm feeling happy but a bit strange to be TTC again! Technically started TTC last month but had awful back pain so didn't end up DTD at the right time so I guess I'll just count this month as Cycle #1!
I'm currently in my FW so still got 2w+ to wait 😩. I used the Ovia app to get an idea of things but don't bother with OPKs or temping as it just stresses me out lol AF due 4/4 and there's a pregnancy test in the cupboard ready and waiting!!
Congratulations to those who have got your BFPs, very happy for you! :)

Flashy smiley this morning! Here we go :)
Up early on a Sunday having a coffee and cuddles with the doggies. Happy Sunday ladies x x

@Bee44 I starting all the feels from 2dpo! Seriously! I thought it was all in my head!

@Slinks8113 cuties! Happy BD-ing

Welcome @Charm23 and any other newbies!

I am so tired but seem to have developed insomnia. Was up at 5 for a wee, still BFP 👏🏻 I'm saving my CB digi's for Wednesday or Thursday when AF is/was due.

Do I ring the doctors tomorrow or wait?! I still can't believe this is happening to me 🥰

kaylsd · 21/03/2021 07:45

@Small1607 welcome hunny! Your not too far behind me I’m 5 dpo, have you gone to the drs to be investigated after a year? If so how did you get on :)?

@Cyclogoose well I was well disappointed in Tesco there were just bedding plants and hanging baskets at ours when I went yesterday, gonna arrange a trip next week to have a better nosey in case it’s down to stock! I’m sorry for using nursing lingo it’s force if habit, USS stands for ultrasound and abdo & trans is abdominal and transvaginal, so basically I had the one where it looks for like PCOS and was perfectly clear :) but this was back in like 2018/2019. Have you done any more tests today or are you waiting for Tuesday sweetheart? How gorgeous is buddy!! He looks like the cutest snuggly dog ever, I’m so happy you can have a borrow doggy because sometimes all you need is abit of love from a pooch to make your heart smile :’)

@Laurashakey congratulations sweetie on your BFP I’m so happy for you that you are one our graduates 🎉🎉🙌🏻 fingers and toes crossed you have a sticky baby and a healthy 9 month ahead 🥰❤️

@iloveoreos I have the same attitude chick now that’s why I have a back log of HPT tests cause last month I refused to test until AF came and had this weird looking positive / indent and then day after bammmmm AF came like a bitch 😆😂🙈 I don’t plan on testing now until April fools day if I don’t come on before because I’m due on 28th, imagine if I tell my hubs I’m pregnant n he tells me to get lost cause he thinks I’m joking 😂🙈

@Bee44 dr google is the best, I love filling in my symptoms section in Femometer I’m like 🧐 what can I feel today, then a list a mile long ends up being submitted 😂🙈

@Halpmer you sound so much like me this cycle, my temperature has risen as if I’ve ovulated but my bbt have been strange this cycle & my OPK was mediocre positive which I think I didn’t test enough cause I did a gap between like 12:30-1730 the next day because I forgot :’), let’s hope despite it being a strange one maybe it could be our lucky one yet, who knows 😆🤞🏻🌈

@Charm23 welcome to the group darling, I’m tempted to get rid of the OPK system because I find it’s so hit n miss with me if I can find my peak in time, enjoy your FW week! It’s the best part of it all 😏❤️

@Slinks8113 woooo, I feel abit like that gangdalf where he says and so it begins for you, I hope you enjoy the time ahead of you 😏🙌🏻🙈❤️ fingers and toes crossed that this is your cycle to be, your Sunday sounds like mine! Gonna consist of dog walking & Sunday roast and might jump in hot tub later 🎉 love the daily fix of a pooch pic, they look so comfy laid on you! Our mabes is litterally laid snuggled into me the exact same on my legs, I need a coffee but I darent move her cause she looks too cute 😆😩

@lucea87 eeeek I'm over moon for you darling, I'd ring first thing tomorrow so they can do your blood work so then they can repeat it later in the week to make sure your numbers are doubling and arrange scans, I'm so happy for you 🥰

Have an amazing Sunday lovelies! Going on a long dog walk when hub finishes work & prep a roast dinner and maybe a dip in the hot tub 👸🏼

Keep motivated and distracted for the ladies in the TWW like me, enjoy baby dancing for those entering the FW, and relax as much as you can & try not to worry too much for the baby mamas to be / Potential baby mamas🤞🏻🌈

minthumbugs · 21/03/2021 07:59

Hi @Charm23 good luck 🥰 and happy baby dancing this week! 🤣

@Slinks8113 yaaaayyyy to flashing smiley! X

@lucea87 omg pregnancy insomnia is the absolute worst. It's like hit a brick wall tired in the day up all night, think the excitement and nerves don't help either. Doesn't hurt to phone your GP, don't know how it works where you are but in my area the GP will give you some info and vitamins and then at 6 weeks you can phone to midwives to get the ball rolling. Exciting times, I'm so happy for you! X

I had such a vivid dream last night that I was pregnant. It was so lovely, I can't wait 🥺

minthumbugs · 21/03/2021 08:01

Oh @kaylsd that sounds so lovely, I'm doing a roast today but wish I had a hot tub!! We are getting our garden done up, work started this week it's all very exciting - OH just needs a tinyyyy bit of persuasion to get a hot tub now I think 🤞🏻🤣

Small1607 · 21/03/2021 08:37

@kaylsd I've had day 21 bloods but my cycles have been a bit irregular so not convinced they were on day 21 🙈 waiting for OH to go for SA then they will begin my tests. In the meantime she told me to lose weight to see if it helped regulate my cycles /ovulation x

Fifi1086 · 21/03/2021 08:38

AF arrived for me this morning. So down about it. Really did everything we possibly could this month. I think I've realised though I'm never going to get my BFP as long as AF keeps arriving on 9dpo. I don't know if doctor will listen to me at this stage though as it's only 3 months in

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 08:43

Oh @kaylsd I'm so sorry about Tezzas! They change all the time but they had some lovely little house plants in cute pots when I was there. I like Lidl and Wilko too. I don't know why I didn't realise what that was - I think I've seen ultrasound as US maybe that's why it didn't click.
I did a FRER at 7 last night and it was a beautiful line but my cheapies this morning are practically squinters 🎢
I wish they'd done my blood work but even if I have had early MC this time, I'm hoping the US will show up anything sinister to help for next time. It's going to give me something positive either way which is good.
Enjoy your walk, roast and hot tub lovely lady and may your BFP be just around the corner xxx

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 08:46

I've got the opposite with hunger. Off my food and that's not like me at all. Normally I just want to stuff my face consistently. I think it's just because I'm sick with worry though rather than a symptom

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 08:47

Yey! @Slinks8113 💕🌈🤞🤸🤸🤸

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 08:55

Oh @Fifi1086 I feel your pain. Were you on hormonal birth control prior to these 3 months? It will probably impact what the doctor says. I'd definitely ring them though. 8 day luteal phase is something I would hope they would look into. How certain are you about your ov dates and how long is your cycle in total? My LP is on the shorter side but it's been 9/10/11. They haven't been that concerned but I bought OvuSense as it's supposed to track your progesterone levels more closely and I was hoping to use this to support my theory but then I got this complicated positive and it's just stressing me out making me think there's nothing there. I think the more you get onto your GP, the more likely they'll realise you mean business! I feel bad because obviously they're stretched but I don't think conception is high on their agenda at the moment xxx

minthumbugs · 21/03/2021 09:33

Sorry @Fifi1086 ❣️ take care of yourself today! Do whatever you need to do. I've had a short LP too, I'm on cycle two now. XX

minthumbugs · 21/03/2021 09:35

Decided to do a spring clean this weekend and I've gone through all my LO's old clothes that we've kept. It's been hard because right now I should've been sorting through them to get them washed and ready for a new LO 😢

DP likes to get rid of unnecessary clutter, how do I tell him that I want to keep every single scrap of clothing 😩🤣

KatieLooLa · 21/03/2021 09:58

Morning ladies!
I’m back at work now, literally 2 seconds after the call from 111 to say I was free from isolation, work calls up and asks me to come in. Been dying for freedom, soon as I left the house though it was instant regret especially when I walked by a whole group of people with no masks on!
Have no idea when I’m working next as they haven’t written the rota, so in bed with the man and dog, sipping on a latte.
Still waiting for OPK’s to tell me when to start baby dancing, usually be the time to start but think these pregnacare things have messed up my cycle a little.
Congratulations to those that got BFP’s! Hopefully the rest of us won’t be too far behind!🤞🏻 X

Iloveoreos · 21/03/2021 12:16

Anyone on here on metaformin or inositol?

Halpmer · 21/03/2021 12:18

I tell you what, my cycle is a MESS this month - no idea whether I've ovulated already or if it's yet to come.

Just cried over Gregg's sausage rolls after having irrational meltdown about nonsense last night 😂

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 12:28

I started taking inositol on valentine's Day @Iloveoreos

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 12:29

@minthumbugs I just had a little cry reading your post so god knows how you're feeling xxxx much love

CycloGoose · 21/03/2021 12:31

Just been to the loo and got a bit of a shock as there was red everywhere but then it was sparkly 😂😂😂 Christmas bath bomb perhaps not the most sensible last night! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Laurashakey · 21/03/2021 12:44

Hi hope everyone’s well!

Ah the crying has kicked in for me. Was watching Americans got talent and cried over this girl with puppies not getting through, also was doing tarot and had ‘the sun’ card, cried over that also😂🤷🏽‍♀️ How’s everyone doing xx

Laurashakey · 21/03/2021 12:46

@kaylsd thank you so much, such a shock to be honest and I am hoping all will get their BFP very soon!! Baby dust to all 👶🏼

Iloveoreos · 21/03/2021 13:02
