@FfayeN look at you on the ball! When do you get results I'm sorry I forgot to ask 🙈 also think @usedtolovenaps is now happiness and rainbows. I could be very wrong mind

Happinessandrainbows · 31/01/2023 19:23

@MrsJGrealish thanks for the tag both. You're right, it's me ☺️I still got a notification though! X

bringmearainbow · 31/01/2023 19:30

@FfayeN thanks lovely ❤️

LuckyMoonstone · 31/01/2023 19:35

Thank you for tagging me, I've still got 50 messages to read on the old thread 😂 my phone broke so I'm using DHs old one while I wait for my new one, and it is sooo slow and shit I can't bear to use it unless I really have to 🤣

Indianna2006 · 31/01/2023 19:44

Woo new thread!! Place marking so I get notifications ☺️☺️☺️

monsteramunch · 31/01/2023 19:56

Thanks for your thoughtful post @Happinessandrainbows you sound like such a lovely person

I'm always sad to hear that other people feel as anxious and upset as I do at times when it comes to TTC, but so glad we have found a safe space for the highs and lows on here.

I'm lucky my partner and mum are absolute gems bless them.

I'm self employed which is always stressful but does mean that if I need a cry or a duvet day then I have much more flexibility than most to accommodate that, something I'm trying to remind myself of instead of just ploughing through and reaching burnout.

Protecting my peace and all that. Must try to get that mantra tattooed onto my brain!

@pangolin84

Oh my love those lines are looking cracking! Your whole gang on here are all rooting for you and a sticky bean Flowers

Thanks for the tag and I’m loving the name of this thread 😂
Thanks for all the positive comments about my tests. Have banned myself from Amazon so no more ICs for the time being. Will probably do a weeks indicator on Thurs and hope for the best.

FfayeN · 31/01/2023 20:13

I think the next one has to be an ode to poor @MrsJGrealish and her DH wine baths 😂.
Glad you've all found the new thread 🥰.

I get some results Monday (the results from the last MC) and then some two weeks time (from the testing). I'm away again with work for two weeks from Monday so another chance to hopefully pass the time quickly with a distraction🤞🏼.

@FfayeN 🤣🤣 DEED IS DONE! I saw him put the water heater on and grabbed him. And now relax

MrsJGrealish · 31/01/2023 20:24

@FfayeN did they test the little baby? That's so hard will be thinking of you❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 31/01/2023 20:52

Place marking :)

FfayeN · 31/01/2023 20:55

@MrsJGrealish this is exactly me, I can't wait until bedtime because I am just too tired and sleep feels more important then 😂. Well done you!
Yeah I am hoping they did (they were concerned it wouldn't be possible due to it being on a Friday 🙄). It is useful to know though, if it's abnormal then it's either bad luck or less decent eggs, so we try again. If it was all ok then I need to look at another cause. The last one was Trisomy and it was a bit of a relief hearing a reason xx

Fml my temps are beyond useless atm 😂 another bad night with DS so I ended up taking it at 2.20 thinking it was much later then was up for 1.5 hours with ds so basically not enough hours to try and take it again it's really a discounted temp but it's gone up to coverline. Atm it doesn't even look like I've ovulated though my boobs are sore and cm is creamy which I think progesterone makes it creamy 🤔 could be wrong on that one though 🤷🏼‍♀️ my watch temp looks a bit more promising though I do find that one still a bit confusing 😂 there has def been days when bbt is down but watch temp is up so not sure it really correlates

TheBirdintheCave · 01/02/2023 09:18

@bringmearainbow In your case I think I'd definitely go by your other symptoms rather than the temps as they do seem to be all over the place. I think you have O'd when you think you did.

monsteramunch · 01/02/2023 09:19

I find it so confusing @bringmearainbow! Still trying to get my head around it and it makes me feel stupid that I'm struggling to get a good grip of it even though I promise I'm a nerd in real life 😂

monsteramunch · 01/02/2023 09:20

Posted this on the old group by accident so pasting here...

I think it's lovely that some OG members stick around after their BFPs - it gives me hope and makes it seem more possible it can happen for all of us!

Sore boobs here 7/8 DPO today. This is my chart which I don't think tells us anything other than I ovulated, which is still really helpful to know. And my OPKs showed the same. So that's one thing we know is happening. Trying to hold onto positive things like that!

How is everyone feeling this morning?

TheBirdintheCave · 01/02/2023 09:41

@monsteramunch I still have my son's cold so feeling pants but at least a little better than yesterday. It's awful when you can't take Ibuprofen as it's an anti inflammatory but your sinuses hurt 😭

monsteramunch · 01/02/2023 10:45

Glad it sounds like you're on the mend cold wise @TheBirdintheCave but ugh sinus pain is horrible, poor you!

calimc83 · 01/02/2023 10:50

@monsteramunch ahh thanks. It's nice to still be here, always conscious of talking about my current PG too much as would hate to upset anyone. But hopefully like you say, it's gives hope to those who are still awaiting BFP's after MC. I had 2 in the space of 6 months and it was the hardest thing I've ever been through. Plus I'm ancient as well 😅..xx

TheBirdintheCave · 01/02/2023 10:54

@calimc83 Your story definitely gives me hope :)

bringmearainbow · 01/02/2023 12:00

@TheBirdintheCave I think you could be right bloody temps 🙄 they've never failed me before but I think it's just been a weird few days sleep wise

@monsteramunch chart looks good lovely 🤞🏼 honestly I've been temping for quite a while now and it still confuses me sometimes 😂 I think there are soooo many variables that can affect it. it's useful but I do think you have to keep a bit of an open mind about it

So looking at my calendar I'll have to test on the 9th which would be 11dpo as I have an appointment that I need to know yay or nay for

theblueflowers · 01/02/2023 12:53

Thanks for the tag!

TheBirdintheCave · 01/02/2023 13:49

@bringmearainbow Only eight days away then! :D
