Thanks @justanothermummma I’m good and keeping positive. Have to be else it’s as long and lonely road! So far so good. Get an update tomorrow on how many made it to day 3. Then Jusy need them to hang in until Monday on day 5 ready for the big freeze and transfer. Do let me know if I can help. Dm me if you want and I can keep my eyes out based on what you want. My company has loads of vacancies, but depends what world you work in and what you do.

and thanks @Bubblesandtroubles i keep sending positive vibes to the lab to tell them when they come home there’s a lovely cosy place for them to nestle down 🙈 slowly losing my mind. Thanks for all your kind words. M

@Vic231 it is me, not Chloe that had ivf thanks anyway tho 😉

and @SnookyPook thanks for the luck. Nice to hear your mates successful but I don’t want to think about it potentially taking 5 transfers to work! Positive mindset and all that.

Hope you’s are all okay and @LeopardLover although we speak 121, sending positive vibes for you next scan in a few weeks

@Vic231 You know what, you're spot on with that! I've been in a daze since!

@Bubblesandtroubles Marketing, I love designing and all things creative I guess. If I could go back in time I'd have probably studied graphic design when I was younger. I've considered going back to education but funding is just non-existent 😂😂

@GCS34 oh gosh! So sorry! And you @CAGH03 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm feral when it comes to tagging 😂

@justanothermummma I work in marketing too. Leave it with me 😉

@GCS34 So good to hear from you and sending so many positive vibes to the lab!! @dabs9 is a sweetie I totally agree and has been wonderful to me too. Please let us know how you get on and sending mega good wishes your way. I am day 10 or 11 of my cycle so gearing up for the sex week 😂

Aw guys. My head is gonna explode!!! 😅

So my pre period spotting is on its way. Currently just an off white mucus but this is how it always starts. Yet another failed month and I just don't know if I can keep going with this!

Husband is working away now for a couple of months so likely won't get another chance until November. Maybe a blessing in disguise so that I can have a proper mental break from TTC as I'll know there's no chance.
I'm losing any sort of ability to visualise myself ever having a bump or being a mum and it's making me feel really sad. X

Oh @GCS34 you're my Fairy Job Mother! 😍

@dabs9 I'm so sorry lovely 😔 I think the break is a good idea (regardless of choice). It's a heartbreaking process and sometimes we need a rest from the effort of constantly trying, wondering and symptom spotting.

Take the time you need to reset and focus on you. Lots of love xxxx

@justanothermummma thanks for your reply. And sorry guys for my super negative post, just read it back lol! I just needed to rant.

It's really is heartbreaking, and to be honest it's not like I expected this month to be any different to every other month. I knew in my heart it wasn't going to happen but it doesn't make it any easier when your body confirms it.

Thanks for being kind. xxx

I think it will definitely have to be an option in the future 🥲 I was ivf myself and I have a twin, they run in the family too. I'll give it until the wedding and if it still hasn't happened then I'll take it further with the doctors x (July 2024)

@dabs9 rant away, we're here for it! I can't exactly say I have been Miss Positive this week under a redundancy cloud, so I get it! We all need a platform to feel less alone. TTC really isn't as simple as DTD at the right time, there are home issues, family fall outs, job problems, IVF waiting lists, doctors appointments, you name it! So the fact we have somewhere to talk and feel all the feelings we can't express to those we're close to is incredibly important.

Lots of love x

@dabs9 you aren’t ranting at all, it’s just a really hard and painful thing to go through every month. I feel the same as you, I just can’t even imagine it happening anymore and that’s heartbreaking to think. Sending all my love to you. I know it’s rubbish your husband is away for a couple of months but a break will be good for you, I know it’s conflicting to think you’re wasting time (and I’ve been there). Be easy on yourself.

Hi ladies!

I've been lurking in the background while feeling rotten after a challenging week or so (drama as I thought I was miscarrying but things seem okay now). But just wanted to check back in 💜

@GCS34 I'm so flippin' excited for you and optimistic you'll get lots of beautiful embryos thanks to all those eggs of yours. I hope you're not too anxious and are enjoying the down time in between next steps! Thanks for the positive scan vibes too, my scan is 29th August 🙏🏻

@dabs9 you obviously have the biggest heart and I'm not surprised you've been such a support to the others. I'm really sorry you're out again this month and I hope the break helps after a really stressful period. Your job must make things so much harder, but you have so much love to give and you will make the most wonderful mum one day. 💕

@justanothermummma Ugh, redundancy is so tough, I'm sorry! Especially when you have dependents. Another marketing type over here 😉 I'm sure if you have @GCS34 on the case you'll have jobs to apply for in no time. Then hopefully you can resume actively TTC stat. 🌟

@Annapolis35 God speed for the action week 🤣🙏🏻 hopefully you won't need that IVF referral but at least it's in the pipeline.

@Favofit I'm sorry you've been struggling 😔 how are you feeling today? It's a good idea to take a step back from tracking, BBT always stressed me out big time. Sending you lots of love!

@Vic231 I hope you're feeling okay and you've been getting down to business 🤣 have you ever watched Flight of the Conchords? Also, how is your trooper doggo?

@Bubblesandtroubles Good plan not starting to early, remember it just takes one perfectly timed sesh 😅

@SnookyPook How are you feeling!? I'm feeling the TWW nerves for you. 💫

@DuchessofSuffolk I think every other day is more than enough, but getting an extra one in around ovulation is a safe bet! I have zero idea how people fall pregnant on a one night stand for example 🙈

@A95x Hope you're okay too? You've been quiet! 😘 X

@LeopardLover are things back on the up now? So sorry you've had a crappy week!

I'm so mortified by it, even though the business owner said it was purely financial, it's knocked my confidence massively! I just hope I can find something soon and start ttc again. Although, AF hasn't appeared today as expected (and as sad as it is, I hoped, considering the circumstances) breathes into paper bag repeatedly 😂😭

Hey :) sorry for interrupting any conversations! Just a quick question: today I started getting indigestion/heartburn and had it for a few hours. I bought gaviscon tablets but they don't seem to be doing much! I don't usually suffer from it either! I did have a McDonald's today but that's all I ate. I tried some pasta in the evening but started feeling the pain again. I got back from holiday today and we've been eating like shit all week, so I don't understand why I'm suddenly getting it now. It's literally keeping me awake🥲 does anyone know of anything else that stops acid reflux? Or why it's suddenly started?
TIA🤍🤍 x x

@LeopardLover Hiya lovely , I know I've been quiet , I'm at the fed up stage again , Ive been having a relaxed approach I'm currently 2 days late , it's so annoying every month I'll come on early then late the next 🤯 I feel no different, normally I get cramps before af but nothing, and I won't be testing because I know how much my body is late on AF 😂

I hope everyone's ok xx

@justanothermummma Yes! 😘 Thank you.

Oh bless you 😔 but I'm feeling positive for you that you'll find something soon with all your experience! 🌟 Gosh, bet you have mixed emotions 😅 it could be stress causing late AF!

@CAGH03 so indigestion can just crop up at any time! It can be a sign of early pregnancy too but sometimes it's just one of those things. I swear by Rennies 😊

@A95x Oh bless you. I can understand that! Well done for resisting testing. I didn't really have symptoms the month I got pregnant (other than a weird bubbly tummy). Well done for staying calm! Really hope it's your month xx

@LeopardLover hello lovely! Oh gosh what happened? So please everything sounds ok now though. How many weeks are you now?

Doggo is doing great, still waiting on test results which is annoying! As for me, I'm feeling a bit flat. Once again multiple pregnancy announcements on social media over the weekend (I really must delete it!). Why does it looks so easy for most people!

I'm now in the TWW, I'm not sure we DTD enough if I'm honest as life got in the way! If my ovulation matched my flo app we DTD -5, -4, -2. I'm probably being a bit pessimistic though, although on -2 I got EWCM so maybe it was early!

I'm realising that because I'm an organised planner the fact it is all out of my hands (the conception, the pregnancy itself etc) is the thing I'm struggling with the most! X

I've woken up with the worst heartburn again this morning, I haven't even eaten anything 🥲 not gonna take another test, just gonna track and see if I ovulate. If I don't then I'll test again x

@LeopardLover I'm just not feeling TTC at the moment 🙈 it's all getting on top of me so just need a few weeks of nothing , were still baby dancing but don't know if it's the right or wrong time , we've spoken on how we feel and think it's just best to go with the flow , what will be will be ❤️ xx

Where are you in your cycle ? I havnt caught up on anything 🙈xx

@Annapolis35 ♥️♥️ I think when you can picture it there's still some sort of hope. But when you can't even visualise it anymore it feels like all hope is gone, which is very sad. Defs think a forced break will be helpful. It'll just be nice not to piss on any sticks for a couple of months!!! Haha.

@LeopardLover thank you so much. With my job it almost feels like I'm stuck in the "always the bridesmaid never the bride" rut.. just with babies, not wedding dresses lol.
Hope you're getting on ok and your stressful scare has settled now. Xx

Hiya dabs , I've also been feeling the exact as you and I have so much sympathy I've tried forgetting about everything but it's still always there , I'm with you on failed months and feeling like I'm a failure, I think TTC is normal to have these kinds of feelings because it's sooo hard having knock backs , since being home from holiday I havnt tested once I cannot bring myself to do it , I'm currently late but know I'm not pregnant because I know my body to well , I really hope you are ok ❤️ and I'm here if you need me xx

@A95x my 'period' arrived Tuesday and was gone by Wednesday evening. But the past few days I've been getting bad headache, indigestion and gas (tmi🥴) even my fiancé said to me last night 'what's going on with you'🤣 because I'm never gassy and never get headaches or heart burn. I just generally feel like crap but not ill if that makes sense 🤣 think I'm about cd 8 x

@A95x It's totally natural to feel this way, and I think taking a relaxed approach and having fun is the most healthy approach. You will be a mum! 💜 Hopefully sooner rather than later.

@justanothermummma Any sign of AF?

@Vic231 A small amount of blood for two days (wasn't a concern to me) & then the most intense cramping of my life for days (worse than labour at one point) ... Leading to back pain and nerve pain through my legs. Convinced myself it was a miscarriage but er, seems completely unrelated 🙈 Dr's don't know but I think it's all bowel related (I have IBS but this was nothing like those cramps) 👀 Regardless, feeling better now! I'm 9 weeks! Just counting down until that 12 week scan.

I'm so sorry you're feeling down 😔 pregnancy announcements used to get me all the time, even when I wasn't TTC. Just delete the apps for a little while if it brings you more joy. I'm also a very organised person who plans everything, so I get how the lack of control can make you feel so much worse. You will be pregnant again. Hopefully soon 🙏🏻 also, that's plenty DTD. It only takes once! We just need a nice healthy egg to pop out. Come on body!

Hope you get doggo results soon x
