@EmiGoiko Congratulations love!!! So excited for you! It all looks very good to me! X

Hopefully there will be successful pregnancies for all of us soon xxxx

H0peing · 18/08/2021 10:00

@PeanuttyButter thanks xxxx

H0peing · 18/08/2021 10:05

@babyghirl I think I'll try taking the aspirin after dinner in the evening. Will probably get a cute little pill box and just have to remember to set a reminder on my phone because I take everything else in the morning and my memory's not great lol xxx

EmiGoiko · 18/08/2021 10:09

Thanks so much @PeanuttyButter and everyone. I'm trying to breathe. I'm going to stop testing and stop Googling. What will be will be. You're right, stressing is making it worse.

Hope everyone else is doing OK?

H0peing · 18/08/2021 10:13

@Annny27 Sorry you've been feeling down recently. It's good that you're ovulating soon though so hopefully this will be your time xxxxxxx

Babyghirl · 18/08/2021 10:15

@HOpeing
Yea I'm taking mine to have to get more thou.
@Emigoiko
Congratulations that's a great line for a clear blue 💚

PeanuttyButter · 18/08/2021 11:38

Where are you up to @Babyghirl ?
I'm CD21 of usual (pre MMC) 24 day cycle but last 2 periods haven't really been proper periods. Roughly 8dpo. Not holding much hope as had my usual cd20 pre AF spotting yesterday and no signs to say that AF isn't on her way. Will test Sunday if I make it that far

Babyghirl · 18/08/2021 11:53

@PeanuttyButter
I'm cd23 and have a feeling I'm having a 24 day cycle this month like last month as I feel very periodie lol. Its coming on her broom stick got my app on the 15th of Sept so looking forward to that xx

PeanuttyButter · 18/08/2021 12:19

@Babyghirl least you have the appointment to focus on, sorry the witch is coming. I tell her she's not welcome but she's a CF 😁. I'm trying to concentrate on work see me through to the weekend.

Annny27 · 18/08/2021 12:21

Morning ladies :) this is the first cycle that I haven't tracked when we are dtd, used LH sticks or recorded cm! I obviously still now I am roughly ovulating at the moment because of my CM. But it's so refreshing not knowing what cycle day I am on and when I have peaked etc! And my hubby said that dtd felt less pressure too so that's a good sign :)

@babyghirl you are quite far into the tww then! Not long now untill your appointment ♥️♥️

@emigoiko definitely progressing and the clear blue one is lovely and dark!!! Congratulations lovely

@h0peing thanks lovely! Yep aspirin might be a good shout for you to take :) 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@peanuttybutter yes thats the best way to be I think, we all get a little bit taken back when there a pregnancy announcement but their happiness doesnt mean we wont get that one day too :) definitely the hardest time of my life to date

@kiwi17 are you roughly ovulating at the moment as well then?

@Annny27 well we did a relaxed cycle last month but it annoyed me that I didn't know when I ovulated 😂 so I got opks again which I find helpful just to know it definitely happened! Plus at the scan she said I was about to so good to know things are working even if no bfp. Yeah I reckon ovulation today or tomorrow probably - yesterday was our anniversary so dh enjoyed that 😂 going on holiday tomorrow though so hopefully that'll help! Cd15 for me today how about you? We must have synced up again!

Bundaberg84 · 18/08/2021 13:52

Hi all! I don't know if I fit in here as I didn't have a miscarriage per se, but had two chemicals since January and also an ectopic that ended in the removal of my right tube in June. Crazy that my cycle was back to normal after just one month. Didn't actively try last month as we were in holidays and I wanted to just enjoy the time and not think of anything TTC related. Got my AF last Friday and I think I'm ready for this month TTC again. Clear Blue fertility monitor just got new batteries and is ready to go.

kiwi17 · 18/08/2021 14:10

@Bundaberg84 you are definitely welcome here! A loss is a loss at any stage and there are other ladies here who have had cps and ectopic. Glad you're feeling ready to go again and a break did you good 😁

H0peing · 18/08/2021 14:43

@Bundaberg84 of course you are welcome. Sorry for your losses but it's good that you feel ready to try again and I really hope that your next pregnancy will be a successful one. Lots of love Xx

H0peing · 18/08/2021 14:52

@Annny27 Glad that you and hubby are enjoying a more relaxed approach this month! I've stopped doing my BBT this month and definitely feel a lot more relaxed without that! Xx

H0peing · 18/08/2021 15:02

So, sorry if this is tmi lol but DH was getting a bit fed up of DTD during my 'fertile window' so we've changed it slightly this time around. I'm not sure if it will be fruitful or not but I've given him permission for us to have several 'quickies!' where he doesn't have to concentrate on my 'journey' whilst DTD so that he can relax and enjoy himself more and he absolutely loves it! I am really enjoying seeing how excited he's getting so quickly lol xxxx

Babyghirl · 18/08/2021 15:13

@Bundaberg84
Welcome to r wee family sorry you find yourself with us but glad you found us for support a loss is a loss no matter how far along you where glad the break done u the world of good.
@Annny27
The fucker is on her way lol feel her must be another short cycle for me gs hope ur feeling better.
@HOpeing
Great to spice things up and start enjoying it again deffo not to tmi lol, Jesus a load of weeks ago his dad and ate came round to r bar out the bck for a few I was getting ready for work and had a quickie in the bathroom 😂😂😂😂😂😂

H0peing · 18/08/2021 15:51

@Babyghirl Quickie in the bathroom! That's great!Smile Haven't done that in years lol🤣🤣🤣 He's usually such a gentleman and 'waits' for me whilst DTD so our quickies are one less thing to think about whilst TTC and I think we need to get out of the bedroom a bit more lol Xx

H0peing · 18/08/2021 15:58

@ELM7 How are you and your mum? How many weeks are you now? Sending loads of love Xx

Bundaberg84 · 18/08/2021 16:00

Thank you all! Appreciate it a lot. Last time I got pregnant we did the SMEP, but it's so exhausting :) We'll see how up to it I'm gonna be in two weeks.

Babyghirl · 18/08/2021 16:23

@HOpeing
Dtd gets less romantic when ttc lol.
@Bundaberg84
Horse riding in ovulation week tires u out I love when you can step off the saddle for a while lol.

PeanuttyButter · 18/08/2021 16:55

Poor DH is done in from FW. Hasn't been interested since haha. We try to get out the bedroom but are limited...livingroom and dining room all in view of the front door and parents are known to pop their head to the window before knocking

EmiGoiko · 18/08/2021 19:24

@PeanuttyButter my cycles were messed up after my MMC, definitely shorter. Seemed to get better over time but I've also tried acupuncture and I think it has helped and got my temps up.

EmiGoiko · 18/08/2021 19:30

@Annny27 and @H0peing good for you trying to be relaxed about it. Anything that takes the pressure off is good. Have to say I have also used the 'don't worry about me' tactic to get the DH to DTD. Whatever works! 🤣

@babyghirl you made me LOL. That's brilliant. We are literally so boring. Tbh the last 6 months we pretty much limit ourselves to the fertile window. Like @PeanuttyButter my husband is too exhausted the rest of the month. Lol.

EmiGoiko · 18/08/2021 19:31

@Babyghirl sorry AF feels like she is coming, glad you have am appointment though and not that long to wait!
