@chlx3 hahaha aw you're a Christmas baby!
yea that would be so sweet if your baby was due around your partner's bday. Here's hoping for this month! Keep tracking and throw everything at it again this month 💕

I keep planning out in my mind how I'm going to announce my pregnancy to people when it finally happens lol. So daft but it's giving me a bit of a smile xx

I have a twin brother too so Christmas is a busy time of year 🤣
I keep thinking about how I'd announce it but I'm more thinking how I'd tell my boyfriend when I find out as I know I'd get excited and send a pic to him when he's at work but I feel like that's not the best way to do it lol. I've ran out of opks and I have £20 to last me until I get paid end of June🤣 I could ask my boyfriend to borrow some money but then I feel bad! Just struggling this month as I've just changed jobs x

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 15:09

@chlx3 I feel like it'd be so difficult keeping it quiet from partner for even just a few hours! I'd probably send a pic too but would really try to control myself hahah.

Ah I ran out of opks too and promised myself and my husband I wouldn't buy more but of course I've just ordered some. I really can't help myself!! Wish I could send you some but maybe the not testing will be a good thing for you this month.
You defos shouldn't feel bad your bf buying them tho.. it's not his pee but it is his baby lol. I bet he wouldn't mind. xx

He's just sent me £50 so I can get some bits but didn't mention the opks as it makes him feel pressured when I mention we need to Bd because I'm about to ovulate🤣 so i don't mention it often and we just BD whenever but we managed to time it perfectly last month, literally the day before so thought it had worked! My new job is working over night 5 nights a week tho so im worried we won't have sex as much as im only home 2 nights a week😩x

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 15:31

@chlx3 bless him that's so sweet! My oh was the same when I first started doing opks, it would put him right out of the mood hahaha. But he's got used to it now I think, most of the time 😅

Omg 5 nights a week!! I used to work nights and I loved it at the time but thinking about doing it again now, I think I'd struggle!!
What is your new job? You're both gonna have to find the energy for morning sex now and again lol xx

Bubblesandtroubles · 01/06/2023 12:33

@Annapolis35 welcome!
@UKMummy2one ah, that's rubbish. What type of test was it? Still not totally out til AF comes. (We need to put that on a t-shirt!)
@Amy95 I'm jealous of the curls! My hair won't hold a curl for more than 5 minutes! If there's any spare can you send some my way too please?! Xx

@Bubblesandtroubles Nah sorry I've got it all already x

@dabs9 I'm a February bubba too! Are you an aquarius or you back end of Feb? Knew you were very similar to me 😉@LeopardLover you have to be around Feb time too as you defo have the same mentality as me!

@chlx3 I'm so sorry AF showed up 😢It's so hard to switch your mindset from 'I'm pregnant' to the next day being like oh i'm not crack on with life. it's hard and you're allowed to be upset / pissed off! But as the girls have said, I admire your ability to look ahead at the positives - you will have a spring chicken if you conceive this month, you can have some (lots) of wine for the next 2 weeks, you can focus your energy on something different for the next 2 week that isn't about peeing on a stick, having sex at the right time, and living in anxious limbo for the TWW! We're all here together and we'll be part of the June club together, along with a few others too 👭

I also TOTALLY read what you and @dabs9 were saying about 5 nights a week as having sex 5 nights a week, I was like f'king hell that is pure commitment and also a LOT of time and energy. Then clicked you meant work. Which, I guess the time and energy comment still applies too haha.

Anyway June is defo the best month to get pregnant anyway! And I also plan how I'm going to reveal it too. I think that's normal. Either that or we're all fucking mental and we probably should be single. x

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 17:04

@GeoSmed I'm Aquarius! 9th feb.

Hahaha 5 nights a week is a VERY rare occurrence in this house and if it ever happens you can absolutely bet there's either been positive opks or alcohol involved 🤣 and probably not much energy! 😴

How are you feeling about tomos? Xx

Haha I feel ya! Maybe we should aspire to that as a challenge for June! Give us something else to focus on other than the TWFW (dropped an F in there, just to match my anger).
When in Feb are you? And not great for tomorrow. I've made a conclusion in my head that we're going to have to abandon this cycle and start again next month. I feel like that's what they're going to say. I just don't know how my body is going to have changed drastically in the past 2 days for it to be a positive appointment, so I'm not expecting a positive outcome!

Favofit · 01/06/2023 17:29

I was due on the 3rd but AF showed this afternoon. I woke up this morning with the worse headache and it didn't ease for hours. I'm really sad and trying to stay optimistic. Hoping this month is the one xx

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 17:31

Hahaha I prefer the TWFW than TWW. Defos gives a more accurate vibe of how it feels!

I'm 9th Feb, how about you?
Uh it must be so difficult to keep positive when you've had not great news at the last scan. But the Drs must not think it's impossible for there to be a positive change tomorrow?
I think I'd feel the same as you though and go in expecting the worst and anything better than that is a bonus. You end up that way to protect yourself as best you can don't you.

When wills ovulation be next month if it comes to that? X

Hello ladies! Just starting to catch up after being in the office all day.

@GeoSmed My new manager is WONDERFUL. I'm sooo pleased. I'm 5'7 and brunette hahahaha. But I do love the thought of being auburn! And I'm a January baby although I'm a Capricorn, but I'm a fun Capricorn 😉

I can understand why you're expecting the worst tomorrow, it's like me expecting AF even I know there's technically still some chance I'm not out I don't think it's my month. But for your sake I'm hoping things have turned around!

@chlx3 So sorry to hear AF arrived 😔 but you're right, each cycle is another chance. I think spring babies are the best! 💜 I'm sure I'll be joining you very soon so the rest of the June crew can support each other.

I'm sorry to hear AF has arrived 😩
It's ok to feel sad and to have some time feeling down.. I know it's so horrible because each month we get so hopeful. I think there's quite a few of us in the June crew now so you're in good company! 💕 xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 17:37

@Favofit Ugh, I'm so sorry. That happened to me last month, AF arrived early! June has to be THE month!

@dabs9 I love the pregnancy reveal planning. I need to think about this. I'd love to tell my DH in a better way this time. Last time I was convinced it was an ectopic because I had shoulder pain, so we didn't get excited 😅 turns out it was just because we were moving heavy furniture the day before.... Also, I just shoved the pregnancy test in his face and he didn't understand what the 2 lines meant 🙈 but I hate keeping secrets so I'd probably do the same.

Favofit · 01/06/2023 17:49

@dabs9 I really thought it was our month and had so many symptoms. I feel like I need to pull myself up but still really down. The June crew sounds lovely too xx

@LeopardLover it's awful isn't it when this happens. I'm hopeful for this month , trying to think of what we can do differently xx

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 17:50

@LeopardLover hahahha omg I love that. Moving heavy furniture = clearly ectopic.
I feel like that would definitely be something I'd do too. Did you go in to hospital to be checked for it?

I was looking at little etsy gifts the other week for revealing to husband but then I had to have a word with myself and remind myself I'm not actually pregnant yet! 🤣 x

@dabs9 @LeopardLover Hahaha brilliant! I'd be lying if I said I hadn't done this too 👀I also like to think about gender reveal parties, and based on the fact I'm not yet pregnant, said party is now going to be in Winter, and I was totally planning a bbq garden party 😂

@LeopardLover I got the height bit right, right? Glad you're loving your new boss. Your culture vibes were right. I have recently got a new boss and initially I was a bit skeptical, but we get on so well now. It makes such a difference. I am also so confused as I am sure you said your boss didn't start this week and I had it wrong, now she has started!? I'm lost!!! You're confusing me woman!

June crew it is - @Amy95 you need to update the page to be 'June TWFW Crew' the F is vital!

@Favofit sorry you came on your period 😪And waking up to a headache is never nice, especially when it's followed by AF! Have faith though - we all will have our ending soon. I just can't believe that none of us here have made this month (though their are a few little stragglers left to test on Sat so I'm holding out my hope for @Amy95 @Bubblesandtroubles @Mangotango39 @LeopardLover and @dabs9)
I'm going to put a prediction out there.... I'm not going to conceive in June either, July is going to be the month I think it'll happen. Don't ask me why, but spidey sense are telling me that's the one! If it is, then i'm going to go on britains got talent.

When wills ovulation be next month if it comes to that? X

Exactly! The F is fundamental!
Oh no way! I'm 1st, so super close. Fellow Aquarian then which means you're probably equally as mental as me and erratic. I don't even know what they're thinking. I think a lot of the time they just wing it 😆I don't understand why my body isn't responding when last month I did exactly the same as I have this month, yet this month it isn't working. Body's are just arseholes, well mine is anyway. and yeah absolutely that's it - if I expect abandon, then I won't be disappointed. We'll see, watch this space. I'm bored of this cycle already.

ummmm pass. It all depends when I come on my period. If they said abandon, then they'd have to wait for my body to have a period, which technically should happen 2 weeks after ovulation, but given I wouldn't be doing the trigger shot to ovulate, and I wouldn't ovulate myself, then i don't know. The month before when we had to abandon, I had like half a day of the lightest period ever about 17 days post cancellation. So I don't know really. As I didn't ovulate (well, they don't think) but who know. But if we go with that theory of around 15 days post cancellation, then probably start next round of injections around 20/21st June x

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 18:24

@GeoSmed bless you, it's so much waiting around and unknown isn't it. It's like you're having excessively long cycles when you're having to wait essentially 2 cycles length to just ovulate once 😖

Why it all goes one way one month and completely different the next when nothing is different baffles me! Bodies are so complex.
Really hoping tomorrow brings some surprise positive news for you 🤞 xx

Hiya dabs how are you getting on xx

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 18:40

@Amy95 Hey! I'm getting on ok thank you 😊
My biggest irritation at the moment is that I've been told my mum has been asking my sister if I'm planning to get pregnant/why we're not having a baby yet. And it's really driven me mad lol.
Other than that I'm just waiting for signs I'm getting ready to ovulate. Or hopefully I'll bleed soon and everything will reset.

How're you? If AF does arrive this month do you think you'll next ovulate while in Tenerife?? How lovely would that be when you're all relaxed and happy 🌞 xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 19:02

@GeoSmed Haha, my manager's first day was today! 1st of the month - so not earlier in the week 🤣 1" off my height but I think you did pretty good!

@Amy95 Your hair is INCREDIBLE. Mermaid hair!

I'm so proud of so many of us resisting even more tests 😅 Also how many of us are getting CM in this TWW? I wasn't expecting any but here we are!

No, actually my thread pals on Mumsnet talked me down and then I just waited until 8 weeks for an early scan 🤣

Oh soooo cute! I guess we'd have to order in advance with Etsy so makes sense to decide what we want now 🤣

@GeoSmed I'd LOVE to join you with a July pregnancy and have another April baby 😍
