@curliegirliesorry I forgot to say congrats to you as well! 21 weeks already, amazing 🤩

LuckyMoonstone · 19/09/2025 09:02

@TheBirdintheCaveglad to hear things are going well for you and the kids :) isn’t it great when the last one hits 30 hours as well and your nursery bill is practically nothing 😆 DD has just gone to 30 hours now so that’s a lovely cut in the outgoings while I’m on Mat leave!

curliegirlie · 19/09/2025 09:43

@LuckyMoonstone thank you and a huge congratulations on your little one! I hope the madness of the first couple of days is going well.

Not to bust your theory, and hopefully it will happen very quickly again for @bringmearainbow but my #3 took over 3 years 🙃. So, be prepared for it to take a while, but fingers crossed you’ll end up pleasantly surprised!

@emmatcc1I was on the November group (and actually an still an interloper on the November WhatsApp group).

I’m feeling a bit shit today. It’s my last day in my team, before moving to another unit at work. I had a “leaving lunch” with my team yesterday, where we didn’t talk about my leaving, and I’ve just realised that my LM isn’t working today, so no goodbye speeches (which although cringy, are a nice indication that people appreciate you) and I guess I’ll have to wait for the end of the day to see if I get an ecard or anything….just feels all very low key when I’ve been in the team for 3.5 years (and was working on my evaluation even before my LM started here). Bah!

Hi everyone. I don’t think I actually ever updated on here but I amazingly fell pregnant in September last year and currently up on a night feed with my 3 month old little girly. 💖

bringmearainbow · 23/09/2025 22:09

Ahhhh @Angelselevenxthats such wonderful news 😍 enjoy all the squidgy baby snuggles ❤️ did it all happen naturally? I think last time we spoke you were doing medicated rounds or maybe getting ready to do some 🤔

@curliegirlie@TheBirdintheCave@LuckyMoonstone thanks all! It did, cycle20! I was on my 7th round of letrozole and had begged the consultant to let me try progesterone before we started IVF in January. Went on holiday and started progesterone 2 days past ovulation, after we got back my temp kept showing as high…. Did a test at lunch time and there it was! Hope you’re doing well x

bringmearainbow · 18/10/2025 17:20

Well ladies looks like we managed it this cycle too! Def thought I was out this cycle was testing negative up until yesterday and AF was due today. Started bleeding this morning so I chucked FMU but a bit later it was so similar to the IB I had last pregnancy and nothing like my AF usually is that I took a test (well 3 in fact)I didn’t believe the first EAH 😂 and they are suuuupeeerrr faint but def all have lines there

Wow, fingers crossed @bringmearainbow! Looking forward to seeing those lines progress 💕

ExMrsGrealish · 19/10/2025 18:34

Awww congratulations @bringmearainbowi miss testing

TheBirdintheCave · 20/10/2025 12:55

@bringmearainbowEverything crossed for you this time! :D

bringmearainbow · 22/10/2025 17:31

Anyone got any words of wisdom for me?

so I’ve been testing everyday 14dpo test seemed to get darker so good start then 15 dpo was lighter today 16dpo lighter still I was like another chemical ok. But the weird thing is when the tests develop/dry throughout the day they all pretty much look the same. At the 5 minute mark I’ve looked and they all seem lighter and they seem to be taking ages to develop but come back after hours and they just look similar.

i did an afternoon test today and it was darker than this mornings and looks around the same as 14dpo

I just don’t know what to think. I’m meant to be taking medication but we’re paying for it ourselves so I don’t want to waste it I stopped taking it yesterday as was sure it was a chemical now I have no bloody clue 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bringmearainbowwhats progression like on the easy@home?

bringmearainbow · 22/10/2025 22:30

@ExMrsGrealishi ran out of those at 14dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve never had a problem with these boots tests before though I know some people don’t like them say they give bad indents etc. it’s such a head f* isn’t it 🙄

OP posts:
curliegirlie · 23/10/2025 09:03

I think the progress looks ok, but I haven’t got Boots tests of my own at 16dpo to compare with sadly. Everything crossed for you and this little bean xxxxx

LuckyMoonstone · 23/10/2025 09:50

@bringmearainbowthey honestly look fine to me!

bringmearainbow · 23/10/2025 10:05

@LuckyMoonstone@curliegirliethank you for looking I guess I’m used to a much more obvious increase they just all look the same to me. I’ll ring EPU Monday/Tuesday and get booked in for a scan will be the only way I know anything

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 23/10/2025 13:31

They look ok to me. I can see a darker colour in each one :)

bringmearainbow · 26/10/2025 10:09

AF arrived 😢 another chemical this sucks and it’s only cycle 2 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh I am so sorry to read that @bringmearainbow. Early MCs are so cruel as you get lines just strong enough and for just long enough to give you a bit of hope, then bam! My first MC was like that. We knew for all of 5 days, so for just long enough to get our heads slightly around the idea before I started bleeding. Take care Flowers

bringmearainbow · 26/10/2025 18:37

@curliegirliethank you. It sure is rubbish you think oh maybe this is the one then bam nope 🙄

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 26/10/2025 22:49

@bringmearainbowOh no, I’m sorry :( You definitely seem to be hyper fertile though. I’m sure one will be your next sticky bean soon! :D

emmatcc1 · 27/10/2025 13:16

@Angelselevenx So amazing to hear you had a baby, congrats!!
I also had a baby boy nearly 2 weeks ago.
