@CAGH03 cobgratulations!! πŸ’β™₯️

@GCS34 I got engaged on a deserted beach, just me and my DH! I've been married 5 years...

Pretty sure someone asked me how old I was a while back πŸ˜‚ I'm 32

Oh yeah that was me that asked you. soz. I remember completely pointless things like the postcode a of a hotel we went to like 3 years ago or something, but can't remember things that are actually important.

Where was the beach? In Scotland or was it abroad? xx

No it’s fine don’t be silly!

it’s cycle 1. Honestly we were thinking we might wait a little longer initially but the timing just felt right. We fell pregnant 1st cycle last time so I’m trying not to go into it with expectations of it being the same second time around πŸ˜…

@GCS34 Mr Dabs took my on a 15k hike and did it in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish snow! Lol. Nobody else around think god or I think I might've passed away πŸ˜‚

Loving the wedding and engagement stories.

@glasspaw Welcome! So cute you have a 17 month year old πŸ₯° @Bubblesandtroubles is that the same age as your little one? Your husband's allergy sounds really serious but I'm sure you're always ready with that epipen! And it's great your son isn't showing any signs of having the same thing.

I only like the Optimum Nutrition Whey! I feel like I tried a few vegan ones once upon a time but I have a sweet tooth πŸ˜… I also have IBS @GCS34 - so much fun!

@A95x Well done for not testing! πŸ’œ I'm CD9 so the fun starts this weekend for us 🀣

@GCS34 Yes, married in May! Had our ceremony in the barn too 😍 in the Cotswolds which isn't far away. @CAGH03 I bet there are loads of nice barns in Wales!

I ordered a few camping bits last night, I just need outfits. But my wellies got stolen last year (LOL) so I think my only remaining Hunters are bright blue. Hopefully I can sort everything this weekend - off to a baby shower which will be cute πŸ₯°

@dabs9 I'm very impressed by your engagement story! 😍 Sooo cute.

Any time @Bubblesandtroubles @LeopardLover or @glasspaw if any of you want to hand off a child, I'll adopt and be their mum! I operate a no returns policy though, so once they're gone, they're mine!

oh joy - glad i'm not the only trumpy IBS victim @LeopardLover. Yeah the vegan ones IMO are a bit vom. Even the chocolate brownie flavour. And sweet tooth is literally me down to a T - are you my sister? πŸ€”

@CAGH03 you're so going to be like 'oh we're not going to get married straight away' but then by next week you'll have already planned your dress! πŸ˜‚I bloody love weddings. The one this weekend was beaut.

Oh that's not too bad. Are we talking like cobalt blue? you need to get yourself on SHEIN (sorry David Atto - I know they're the worst contributor to global warming) and get some cute outfits! Defo on the packing list should be denim shorts, cycling shorts, thin shirts, some cute tribal dresses, vest tops, some big baggy tshirt dress. Leather jacket. Done. And sexy underware for babymaking times. And wine. a lot of wine. DONE

I should be a personal packer and shopper. xx

This is really random but it's upset me. Just got a message from my MIL telling one of my sisters in law is pregnant and due on the 22nd December. I haven't responded. She wasn't even trying for another baby, she's already got 3. It just made me sad as we've been trying for 11 months now and she's due two days after my birthday. And Also, she's told me about her pregnancy, but she didn't tell his siblings about the engagement? I've told one of them, the others don't know yet. Why is life so frustrating 😩

I haven't even had the chance to process that I'm getting married yet, and it feels like everyone's moved onto something more exciting 🀣 Ttc is already a difficult journey when we've been trying for so long, it just made me feel like crapπŸ’”πŸ˜”

It hurts I totally understand that 😞 it's just one of them things , just try not to think to much into it as this will really get to you , I went weeks without speaking to friends because I was so heartbroken I felt like a right bitch for that and a very shit friend , all my friends have little ones I'm just the crazy Aunite to all these babies πŸ₯° I'm still ringless 5 years down the line ( I'm not putting pressure on my oh just a in side joke my dad's in on it to ) it's the next chapter in your life to look forward to think of all the positive πŸ₯° watch all the stress of wedding planning commence πŸ™Œ you will get there ❀️xxx

Ah you're still super early then in your TTC month. Have you had a full cycle yet, or is this the first one you're trying? We're all here for the long haul πŸ˜…I think the longest is 2 years, and shortest, is you! Hopefully you can pass on your baby luck and one of us has our month this month x

Nope, first cycle of trying. I’ve just had my static smiley on a CB digi so almost into my first TWW.

sending all the good luck! Hope to see lots of BFPs very soon :)

Haha bless him. Bet he’s like this baby making is great fun. Meanwhile we’re all here having anxiety attacks about wether a line on an OPK is dark enough.

No, I’m not anywhere at the moment - I am going in for my scan a week on Friday then hopefully start the injections then too. Hoping the break will have helped my body and it will start responding this time. I’m not sure I could cope with another abandoned. It’s really hard and like now, I am stuck in limbo and don’t feel like I’m making any progress. Least if I’m injecting I feel like I’m moving forward. X

Yes he is πŸ˜‚ I don't feel anything this month no stress of TTC , oh I got.mt fingers cross for you 🀞 sorry to ask but I don't have a clue how any of this works like with injections , do you inject when you start to ovulate or is the injections to help you ovulate sorry if I sound like a thicko I don't normally comment on these when I see cause I literally get so confused πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ , you are moving forward your one step closer I really hope Friday is all good news for you , is your oh going with you ?

@Amy95 yeah I do this all the time normally, daydream about telling him and how he'll react haha. But I've tried to stop doing it recently as I think it makes me more sad sometimes.
I think I'll start doing bbt and opks CD13/14 as unlikely for me to get positive before that.

Will you be in Tenerife through most of your two?? X

Evening All! Been a bit AWOL today as was speaking at a conference and not really been on my phone.

@GCS34 my DH proposed at a picnic on the riverbank in the grounds of a local country house that has a lovely river running by it (Chatsworth - one of our fave places for a walk). It was the two of us and my now step-daughter (he had asked her permission first πŸ₯°). We got married 9 months later - didn't hang around! Haha! Fairly intimate wedding - church ceremony and then a reception at a local small hotel in the Peak District so stunning views πŸ₯° Was end of April and bit of a mixed bag weather wise but nothing put a dampener on the day. I had ordered a beautiful lacy brolly for the occasion (can't really plan a UK wedding in April and not expect a few showers eh?!) So was quite glad when I got to use it πŸ˜†

You're the healthy, younger, more restrained sister 🀣

Bright blue! Turquoise maybe? BUT this actually a massive help. I can't bring myself to shop at SHEIN (any more) and they won't deliver in time but I'll head to H&M on lunch tomorrow. I have to pick up some over priced Crocs for our little drama queen.

Come organise my wardrobe and pack for me! Problem is, on nights like these I only get about 30 mins to myself so I have more important things to do. Like messaging you gals πŸ˜‰x

Awww lush. I love chatsworth. Are you near me then? Or were you visiting? That’s so lovely that he asked his little girl first. I remember when my dad wanted to ask his wife to marry him and asked me and my sister. That’s lovely that you got married fast. I think we were a year and 3months. But we had lockdown to not spend, and save!

that sounds so beautiful. We had a small ish wedding too. 70 at the church and 50 for the wedding breakfast and evening. Oh wow it sounds lovely. I totally want to see pics but it’s also MAD public here πŸ˜‚ xx
