Hi can I join please? Last autumn I was part of another TTC group bit sadly had a miscarriages at 6 weeks ! But now I'm ready to start again and haven't long come off contraception!

I'm 35 in a month
Have 1ds (.first pregnancy)
trying for baby #2 in 2022 💐
Wishing everyone good luck & health on their journey xx

@PinkButtercups Congratulations! 🥳 xx

Congrats @Brightonbelle87 and @PinkButtercups!!

I’m CD9 so think I’m just entering fertile window. This is going to be our first cycle trying but I’m suddenly really nervous about it! All the cold feet. This is normal, right?

@PinkButtercups congratulations wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy

All these BFP that are appearing are giving me that boost to keep going and trying

@PinkButtercups congratulations!! 😊

@lj2022 oh that sounds good childcare wise, at least it will just be short term pain with loss of income then - I honestly don't know how people do it by taking SMP and then going back and paying for full time childcare! But then I've never been a high earner

Thank you all.

This was cycle 3 and we DTD as much! Crazy isn't it.

I had GD with my DS so if I have GD again induction would be Christmas week. I don't feel pregnant. I didn't with DS but I feel more on edge how odd!

Please may I join?
We have decided that to be one step ahead of the game due to me being 35 now and having an implant to remove and then get my fertility back..worried that I may struggle falling pregnant now. So trying to be one step ahead!
So removing my implant soon and then will just see how things goes without anything, so there is no pressure..
Although I'm already stressing about childcare etc and maternity pay! My work only pay statutory 😔😔 xx

Also how do we get to the bottom and most recent post on here without scrolling each time? Lol xx

@PinkButtercups congratulations 🎊 ❤️

@lj2022 with my last i got 2 months full pay and then statutory maternity. I didn't earn a huge amount so not a massive drop but enough to panic me! Once I took away my travel costs and childminder I found it sort of evened itself out and we cut back on a few things. You definitely find ways to manage. I haven't gone back to work because ghe cost of childcare just wasn't worth it but littlest starts preschool in September, so plan to job hunt now 🥲

I can finally post again. Since the update I"ve had no bookmarks, not been able to post etc. Had to uninstall etc.

Anyway will try to catch up on the missed posts.

I'm currently 1DPO (As much as I can tell anyway).

@Alice1608 Welcome to the group! In the top right hand corner there should be two arrows one up one down click on that & it should switch the list round 😀 x

@DanceWithYourBalloon I had to do the same! x

Thanks @Brightonbelle87!
And congratulations @PinkButtercups!

Finally got through to one of the gynae secretaries- of course my GP referred me as Routine only, I knew she would. But it looks like the wait is around 6 months, which is much better than a year!

I also asked for my file to be marked as happy to accept any cancellation appointments. I don't care if it's short notice, I just want it sorted.

On day 3 of Norethisterone now, but still bleeding. Keeping my hopes up I'll get a break at some point.

@hevann
Thank you but I only seem to have the up button when scrolling down. Nothing to help me speed to the most recent comment lol annoyingly xx

Congratulations @PinkButtercups !

@lj2022 I work for a local
authority, too, so have the same breakdown as you. I have done some calculations, and it does worry me a little. I think we’re just going to save as much as we can. But hopefully we can survive off my DPs wage, too.

It’s the childcare costs that I’m
worried about when I go back to
work, as we have no relatives nearby.

@Alice1608 I’m on the website, not the app. But if you press the down arrow at the top of the page there is an option to flip the thread.

Found it! Thank you!! Xx

This is something I'm worried about too! I am the majority earner and they only do statutory maternity pay here and I don't know how we are to live off that?! Going back we will have to pay childcare but its a minimum of 2 days now I'm told and that's if there is even a place... xx

Hey guys!

just wondering if anyone has any success stories on getting a BFP after 16DPO? I’m 2 days late for period but still BFP! A couple faint lines yesterday but nothing today! Advice and stories very welcome! I’ve got very sore breasts, fatigued, dragging sensation in uterus etc!

That meant to say I’m still BFN 🤪!

@Hjudge56 did you track your Ovulation? I'd have thought 16dpo you'd get a positive but I've definitely heard of people not getting them til later!

Random thought. Does anyone use a fitbit or similar? I'd seen something ages ago about resting heart rate being an indicator of pregnancy and in my last pregnancy it definitely was. I can go back on my chart and see it rise around the time I got a positive test and then continue rising and staying high until she was born and then drop again quite dramatically....just in case anyone wanted something else to obsess over 🤣🤞

@Dreamingof3 Yeah I did track! I know it’s late which is why I’m very doubtful :(!

but I’ve got symptoms that I never usually get and no sign of AF! Usually I am 24/25 days on the dot never any later! Today is day 27 so I’m just thinking out loud and wondering if anyone has been in a similar boat!

@PinkButtercups congratulations!!

@Alice1608 welcome!

@Hjudge56 did you track ovulation? Could you perhaps have ovulated later than you think?

@WingingIt09 im quite sure I ovulated on CD 11! From Flo app, ovulation tests and EWCM was present on only that day!

im now CD27 and usually AF comes on the dot every month on CD 24-25!

Aww thank you! Xx

@Hjudge56 how odd. Well hopefully you get a BFP soon! X
