Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@Welshgal85 sorry to hear 😔 it really did sound like you had implantation bleeding!!

Welshgal85 · 29/12/2022 11:34

Thanks @Houseelf90 I thought so too, no idea what’s going on! Not sure if AF is still to come or if that spotting was a mini AF, so unusual for me

BethSuz27 · 29/12/2022 12:13

AF has arrived for me this morning I think, I’m down but new year new start hopefully, trying to stay positive, onto cycle 5

Houseelf90 · 29/12/2022 12:13

@Welshgal85 bless you, you hear so many who normally have really regular AF then have things change when TTC, really odd how the body seems to change for no reason! Hopefully you’ll get your BFP soon 🤞🏼

Houseelf90 · 29/12/2022 12:14

Sorry to hear @BethSuz27, but a great positive attitude!

Welshgal85 · 29/12/2022 14:15

Thanks @Houseelf90 yeah since we’ve been TTC something has been off. Unusual AF and random pains a few days after DTD. Starting to think if there is something wrong with me…

On the plus side, meeting the girls for dinner this evening so can enjoy a few drinks!

Houseelf90 · 29/12/2022 15:53

@Welshgal85 enjoy your dinner and drinks 😁

krissy12 · 30/12/2022 06:34

hope everyone is doing OK? has anyone ever taken conceive plus tablets I'm on cd 45 and planning to get some to see of it helps regulate things

BethSuz27 · 30/12/2022 23:05

I thought AF had come with no symptoms of it at all but it’s two days later it’s been super light and now seems to have gone again?

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 07:02

@BethSuz27 could it be implantation? How many dpo are you now?

BethSuz27 · 31/12/2022 14:10

I’d be 14dpo today if I went by last months ovulation, I didn’t track this month, I’m cramping now so think she’s just making a slow entrance @Houseelf90

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 14:53

@BethSuz27 AF is so cruel sometimes 😩😩 x

BethSuz27 · 31/12/2022 18:03

@Houseelf90 she sure is, come on with a vengeance this afternoon! It’s so upsetting because my partners starting to get upset every time she comes and it makes me so want a baby even more!

Bananatoast123 · 31/12/2022 19:15

Hey everyone! How’s everyone doing?

@BethSuz27 so sorry AF came on the last day of 2022😟

I’m around 7dpo but I don’t expect it to happen anymore with now being cycle 11. Think that’s why I’ve been MIA! This month has consisted of no vitamins, lots of booze and gaining weight… and you know what! It’s been so nice not focusing on it all! We did hit the right days to dtd though!

We’ve agreed if AF shows on the 7th we are giving it a full focus for 12 weeks and then getting tests (originally said Jan but I want to lose weight first now). I’ve decided to just dtd where we can, taking vitamins and to focus on my fitness / stress management!

Heres to 2023 for those who are still ttc with me… and for those who are expecting, what an exciting year to come!!

My OH has hinted that 2023 will bring a 💍 so I’m happy! 😂

Floralsandsmiles · 31/12/2022 20:27

Hello all! How are we? I was trying to read as far back as I could go to see who among us are pregnant and who is actively trying..
Who is who? I recently got married at the beginning of November, so am excited to TTC very soon! Xxx

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 22:28

@BethSuz27 bless you, it’s so disappointing isn’t it 😔

@Bananatoast123 eeeek a ring is exciting!!! I’m hoping for one in 2023….well, truth be told I was hoping for one in 2022 but I guess we’ve only got 90 mins of that dream left 🤣

@Floralsandsmiles hello! I’m TTC my first, my partners 3rd. We’ve been trying since end of July/start of August. I’ve had 2 chemicals at 5.5weeks and 4.5weeks in October and December so conceiving obviously isn’t a big issue for me, just keeping hold of it!!

Nice to meet you @Houseelf90 ! Sorry to hear of your chemicals! I'm crossing my fingers for you that 2023 is your year!xxx

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 22:36

@Floralsandsmiles thank you, and you too! Will this be your first? Xxx

Floralsandsmiles · 31/12/2022 22:44

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 22:36

@Floralsandsmiles thank you, and you too! Will this be your first? Xxx

Thank you! My second and my DH second too (we both have one each from previous relationships) xxx

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 23:13

@Floralsandsmiles ahh that’s lovely! Good luck to you both xxx

Floralsandsmiles · 01/01/2023 00:49

Houseelf90 · 31/12/2022 23:13

@Floralsandsmiles ahh that’s lovely! Good luck to you both xxx

Thank you so very much! And to you! Xx

Bananatoast123 · 01/01/2023 08:10

@Houseelf90 me too 😂 but this time my OH’s hint is serious!! It’s a weird feeling now as we are still wanting to ttc but also if it doesn’t happen yet, we would get married way quicker!

PinkButtercups · 01/01/2023 10:59

@Houseelf90 Thank you lovely. Hope you're holding up as best as you can ♥️. They're such good babies just slip straight into our routine. Bodhi is a little milk monster and definitely lets us know he wants milk before Autumn.

Autumn had such a sore bum over Christmas and it was all blistered! Got some cream from the doctors and had a review again just after Christmas and it was worse! She swabbed the area (should have results by Wednesday) as annoyingly the swab was taken last Wednesday and because it needs growth time in the lab means with the weekend then the bank holidays it's a bit delayed. She actually prescribed thrush cream for her bum and it's took the blisters away and looks so so much better, thankfully!

@Dreamingof3 & @LucyLoopyLu Thank you! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and new year!

The midwife said the other day before she discharged us from community care 'you do realise you can get pregnant straight away again , don't you?' Thanks Sherlock would've never have guessed! I'm not being forced onto he pill. Never taken it and I don't plan on it!
Then she said about my chances of falling pregnant with twins is 1 in 12 like it was meant to scare me? 🤣. I just said oh, that's really lovely 😏. Her tactics didn't work but in all seriousness because I had DCDA twins I didn't know the chance of me having twins again is 1 in 12! Love it 🤣.

Good luck to you all for 2023 and hope you get your BFP's! I'll keep an eye on this thread waiting for your news ♥️.

Dreamingof3 · 01/01/2023 12:21

@PinkButtercups I was going to suggest thrush cream before I read to the end 😂 that and breast milk were what worked for us last time!

My consultant keeps bringing up sterilisation 🙄 but he did also mention vasectomies have a lower fail rate so that's what I've suggested to my partner now!

@Dreamingof3 Wish I asked sooner on here! Poor girl had to go a week before the doctor suggested something else!
I just find it so rude. Would they say this to a man? I bloody well doubt it! I'm 30 years old and I'm not done having children yet thank you very much 🤣. Any baby is a blessing to us.

I've always said to DP would he consider it when we are done having children and he said yes because it's less invasive for him. Which was the correct answers might I add! 🤣.

How are you getting on? xx
