A new thread for our little gang :) Tag anyone I managed to forget!

@MrsJGrealish @happinessandrainbows @calimc83 @pangolin84 @theblueflowers @bringmearainbow @monsteramunch @bunnykins123 @curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone @Indianna2006 @FfoxRedN

@TheBirdintheCave sorry AF is arriving, that sucks for you

@bringmearainbow have a fun week!! Do you know what day O will be?

@FfoxRedN ooh thats a great reading!! So exciting and sounds som positive and would all line up perfectly for you!

@bringmearainbow No nothing really, all I have now is like a little pulling and pressure in and around there. It feels worrying to have anything, but I'd be worried if I had nothing! Just doing my best to talk myself down and ignore 🙈 xx

@MrsJGrealish thanks lovely DH keeps telling me he's soo busy with end of month I told him he is absolutely not allowed to tell me no and hes too tired this week 😂 tbf I think I might be sneaky and grab him as soon as ds is in bed then he won't be too tired or he has to be up early blah blah 😂

@Alexis7890 well last two cycles were CD21 then CD20 but I have O in the region of 16/17/18 all the way up to CD23 before 🙄 so I'm guessing since last 2 were around 20 I'm going for Saturday which is CD20 but honestly it could be any bloody time in the next week crazy body 🤦🏼‍♀️

@FfoxRedN so blooming hard isn't it but you're right just try and ignore and get to the milestones ❤️ you got this 💪🏼

@bribringmearainbow I feel your pain! I'm currently CD 14 and waiting for ovulation but can be anywhere between day 18 and 22 🙈 DP is away midweek so for once hoping it's closer to CD22 for once😂

@AlbaGracie ahhhh cycle twins I'm CD14 today too that was me last cycle DH went away and I was hoping for ovulation on the earlier end but it did not happen 🙄

@TheBirdintheCave how you getting on lovely? Any update on AF?

@bringmearainbow It arrived last night around 9pm 😂 I feel a big smug that I was right in terms of O date and FF was wrong 😅

@TheBirdintheCave ahhhh I'm sorry she arrived but bask in the smugness stupid FF 😂 what's the next step now with ivf?

@TheBirdintheCave ahh I was so hopeful for you! I didn't see anything on your tests, but our DD1 was conceived just after we had our first appointment with the fertility consultant and DD2 was conceived the cycle I'd been referred to to Day 21 bloods, so sometimes things fall into place last minute....

@bringmearainbow @curliegirlie Cos Strep A delayed things I have one more natural go before IVF starts at the beginning of the next cycle. So we could get a repeat of our miracle with our son BUT I'd likely just lose it again like the others.

Just been into London for my pre-IVF bloods. They've tested for blood clotting disorders today too so I'll find out if that's an issue or not soon I hope? I forgot to ask when 🤦🏻‍♀️

Next is a video call with a nurse on Friday to discuss how to do injections etc and then nothing until a baseline scan on the 17th.

Pretty sure my body is gearing up to ov early this month. When you've been trying for a year you get to know the signs. But I have no plan! I've been slumping around the place mildly depressed with no thought of another cycle..

@bringmearainbow how's your cycle going? Xx

@MrsJGrealish ahhh lovely huge hugs ❤️ it's to be expected try not to be too hard on yourself have you spoke to the gp at all?

It's getting there CD16 so a few more days to go got the right CM so that's a good start 😂 opks still low I'm not expecting to see anything until Friday on that front though

@MrsJGrealish Big hugs xx

I haven't. But I will now. Feel like that's the start of some kind of plan. I'm really tired like all the time so she can at least run blood work. My fear is looking at her and the pictures of her rainbow babies on her desk and bursting into tears. She is really good though.

@TheBirdintheCave @bringmearainbow thanks girls ❤️

@bringmearainbow good luck! I know you've many a position up your sleeve if needs must 🤣😘

@MrsJGrealish she will understand if you do but would be good for you to get some tests done. Lol got plenty of tricks 🤣😏 he cockily said to me the other day he could go every day if I wanted 🤣 sure darling

I've just done a opk and it's not high but it is for my low reading if that makes any sense. Looks like it's starting to rise which might mean peak tomorrow 🤞🏼 usually once it's gone up a bit peak is next day

Oh and DS woke up with what looked like the start of a cold sore 🤷🏼‍♀️ took him to the pharmacy and he said oh that looks like impetigo 😩 doctor confirmed so we're at home and it's tantrum central atm 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm going to need a candle bath later 😂

@bringmearainbow looking good lovely!
You made me laugh there..it was nice 😊

Have to say I did the same with my DH, pounce before bed and then didn't get the 'no oh I'm too tired/exhausted by bath/might have had a wine or two' and he was always game 😅

@bringmearainbow nasty 🤢 good job you caught it. It can spread so quickly. The antibiotics for that are the worst I've ever tasted. (I don't randomly walk around tasting antibiotics btw my son had it too 😂) had to go back and get a different version he just spat it out at me

@bringmearainbow Oh that doesn't sound fun at all for you or your son :( I hope he gets better soon! Nothing worse than a cooped up toddler 😬 Excited that you're on your way to a peak though!

@MrsJGrealish I think getting some tests run is a good start ❤

We've had to move our nurses consultation as my husband has a big meeting now which clashes with it 🙄 Good in a way as it's one more step on the way to his promotion but annoying that I can't get all my IVF ducks in a row 😂

@MrsJGrealish glad I could 😘 they've given us some cream as I think we've caught it early but she did say if it gets worse to get some oral antibiotics can't wait to try and get those down him if they taste gross 😩

@TheBirdintheCave thank you so far he's actually not too bad I just have to put up with the tantrums they are quite funny tbf proper throw himself on the floor 😂 I just look at him and ignore. I hope it doesn't drop back down now 😂 that would be disappointing. Ahhh a promotion sounds exciting but yes annoying at least it doesn't muck up the timeline

@TheBirdintheCave hopefully not too much longer than the original date? Good for your DH! I'm sure you're so proud of him😊

I'm ashamed to say that I could not give 2 flying f**ks about work atm. Brilliant quality to have in my job 🙈 it's starting to irk me that I don't get any kind of break. I'll sit and eat lunch for 15 mins on site but am constantly interrupted. I'm off today. But have taken calls from my boss. Really think I need a holiday or preferably answers to my implantation issue, rather than pushing it to the back of my mind. They can't all be dud eggs?? But we will see.

@bringmearainbow ahh that's good! Even I was like what is this poison on my tongue 🤢

@MrsJGrealish you're not the only one I'd love to tell my office to shove it 🙄 they think I'm on call 24/7 it's draining. I don't think they can be all dud eggs there has to be something else happening

@bringmearainbow big sympathy here - DD1 has horrific skin and just had the antibiotics for impetigo herself a couple of weeks ago (any viruses always seem to go straight to her face) but luckily she doesn't mind the meds and it hadn't passed onto any of us...

@curliegirlie DS2 is a bit of a fairy tbh but my god it did taste awful 🤢

Not a fairy 🤣 jeez couldn't think of a better word. He's very averse to blood and tastes. Fainted once watching a first aid video. Sorry DS2 😘
