New thread ladies - please add anyone I've missed 💕

@curliegirlie I'm really sorry to hear that :( I hope things change for you in the future. x

@Pancake92 So sorry about your CP :(

@FfayeN Really sorry you got BFN :(

Welcome to any newbies!

For a bit of levity, here's a funny story from this morning.

My twenty month old wears reusable nappies which consist of a terry shaped nappy and a wrap that goes over the top. He's heading towards being ready to potty train and has lately been consolidating his wees into big gushes in the morning. We've ordered him a potty so that we can (hopefully!) catch this morning wee as the sudden rush of liquid is too much for a nappy to absorb quickly BUT the potty isn't here yet.

This morning I get my son up and change his nappy then take him down stairs for breakfast. My husband is prepping his toast and I take the boy into the living room. I hear a sloshing sound but assume it's his cup of milk. I put the cup on the table but the sloshing sound continues.

I suddenly realise that my son has done a huge wee and that the wrap is now filled with liquid and sloshing between his legs when he walks! 😂I had to shout for my husband to run in with towels. Fortunately the wraps we use are brilliant and it stayed contained until the carpet was protected and we undid the poppers.

Please hurry, potty! 😂

Haha @TheBirdintheCave I hope it comes soon for you! And thanks for the levity, I needed that this morning!
@FfayeN sorry you’re out, I got bfn too this morning so we can wait for AF together! Today I am having all the wine, ttc sucks.

@TheBirdintheCave oh gosh! All hail the wrap containment gods! 🙇‍♀️ We use 2-parters or motherease wizard unos but haven't been brave enough to try night nappies 🙈 I love the patterns! I call them DC1's pretty pants 🤭

Edit: TONIGHT I will have all the wine. I will not be getting sloshed at my toddler’s swimming lesson this morning 😅

Sorry you're out @FfayeN and @AwayWeGo22 😔

Officially in the tww....husband and his man sausage live to see another day 😂

@Margo34 Ah cool another cloth bum mum! :D We have Motherease Airflows with Easy Peasy Bumbles and just boost one of the Bumbles with three (!) hemp boosters at night. They hold up really well :D

@Chellooo all hail the man sausage break! I should have waited 2 hours as AF is here now, why does that always happen. One less Frer to cover next month now 🤣.
@AwayWeGo22 sorry you're out too. I am officially CD1 and hoping for ovulation CD13 again this month 🤞🏼 xx

@curliegirlie so kind of you and your husband to take on a mum with a kid and help them ❤x

@balletshoes25 stay strong, I can imagine it might be a bit difficult seeing a baby but believe that you will have one in the future (not far future!) too 🌺x

I am really clutching at straws here but yesterday's cramps stopped after about 10 mins and no more spotting since, AF hasn't come yet. I know I know, it probably will soon. If not, I will take another test on Tuesday, did not test today. I know that logically there is not much chance things could still be okay but will hold onto a little hope until AF comes or I see a negative on Tuesday.
Last night I decided to make some life changes in order to stop obsessing over conception. Will share them in case anyone feels similarly:

1. For the future - no more ovulation tests and no more pregnancy tests until after missed AF. I will take them to DP's mum and ask her to hide them because if they are within easy reach, I will surely end up testing (don't want to get rid of them though as it all cost a small fortune).
2. Cycling. I will get a bike and start cycling. I generally enjoy it and there is a nice place for cycling nearby.
3. I enjoy cleaning so will make a mini cleaning rota for each day to keep the house super clean and tidy and keep myself occupied.
4. No more googling things such as test lines absence of symptoms, etc when I am pregnant again.
5. Start counseling again.
6. Start reading again. Even if I do not feel like it, need to have scheduled reading times and just force myself until it comes naturally again.
7. Drive to places for hiking. Been to long since I done that and hiking can be so good for your soul.

@FfayeN sorry for AF. Hopefully next month is your month!

@Chellooo woohoo. Sausage fest is over. Tww fun! 🤞🏼

@FfayeN @AwayWeGo22 sorry you're out ladies now go enjoy a tipple or two or three 🍷

@TheBirdintheCave that's brilliant 😂 I clothed for a bit but struggled when we weaned we had a lot of explosions that my cloth nappies just couldn't seem to keep contained. I've been thinking about going back to them now we're a bit more solid he does like to do at least 4 poos a day though 🙈 least I know his tummy is working properly 😂

@Chellooo woooop I hope it goes quick for you 💪🏼

@Pancake92 I love your list and I think it's a good idea get back to doing things you enjoy and love ❤️ I really hope Tuesdays test has a positive outcome for you though 🤞🏼

Thanks all 🥰 in DHs words he can now have a no pressure 40th birthday bonk 🤣🤣🤣.

@Pancake92 well done for making a list. Sometimes even that small process sets us in the right direction mentally. There's some really positive stuff on there and it's great to have a plan moving forward, take it easy and don't be hard on yourself if a few things slip off whilst getting your routine 🥰 xx

@bunnykins123 thank you - I thought the GP might not take me seriously as it hasn't been going on for ages, but perhaps it's worth a shot...

@TheBirdintheCave - your story made me laugh this morning - probably something we all need in these sometimes tricky times of TTC!

@Pancake92 - I hope it's not too long either - for any of us! And that list looks very sensible indeed

@Pancake92 that's a lovely list. It's very hard not to get lost in this journey.

@Chellooo fingers cross for your TTW hopefully it’s flies in. Unlike me I’m 7dpo and I did something bad this morning. I took an easy@home pregnancy test. I know, I know it’s far too early I just had an urge 😂 but it was stark white- shocker! So I have one more strip test left which I’ll keep for Monday 😬

@MrsCristiano Mrs Liam Neeson 😂

@Luna57 ahh even if you were pregnant with a litter it would be negative at 7dpo!! They are hard to resist though 😘

Started bleeding today which was to be expected!
Will be taking a break from all the pregnancy/conception related stuff, I will come back to have a look at this thread in a couple months and hopefully most of you will not be here anymore because you will be pregnant! 🤗❤x

I don't know what the future holds but so far, such an early m/c def easier to go through than the previous one.

@Luna57 definitely not all is lost as it's soo early! But I totally get you as I am a fellow POAS addict 😂

Oh and one more thing to say - you are all such an amazing lovely bunch of people ❤xx

@Pancake92 I'll probably still be here 🙄

@Pancake92 sorry about the bleeding 😢 too it's so shit xx

Me too 😂

Take all the time you need @Pancake92 and take really good care of yourself! Xx

Take care @Pancake92 ♥️ xxx

Oh no @Pancake92 that is horrible, I’m so sorry. Yes take all the time you need and that was a great list you posted yesterday (just catching up!), I’m going to try a few of those myself! Xx

@Pancake92 hope you’re ok lovely x yeah I’ll probably still be here as well, my cycles will probably be about a year long by then 😅 ovulating on day 235 🤣

@Pancake92 aww no, I’m so sorry! Take care of yourself ❤️
