Hi ladies, I'm due to test on the 8/9th March and 2puld love a few ladies to share the journey with. Some of the groups are super big and it would be lovely to start a smaller group to be TTC buddies? I'm 30, ttc no 2, cycle 1

Hi there, I'm new to all this and I'm testing after the 14th of march if my AF hasn't arrived so a little later than you two 😀

Hi,

I'll join you if that's ok? Due to test on 14th march but who am I kidding??? Will definitely cave before then. I'm currently only 2dpo.

TTC number 2. Have a dd - took us years to conceive her. Sadly had a MMC and a tfmr last year. Am now on cycle 4 after the tfmr and trying not to get too stressed out by it all x

saz and oldschool are you trying for your first? I find this whole ttc business very consuming! I keep thinking about how much I want to be pregnant rather than doing my uni work . I'm going to try and not test early. We dtd on thr last two days of the Fw so I'm not massively convinced I'm pregnant.

@Mamabooksbabynumber2 I already have 3 (there 13,10,5) I fell with my 2nd the same day I had my coil removed ( I had this copper coil removed 21st but only had 22 day cycle so I ovulated as soon as my AF finished so I'm hoping I have fallen straight away xxx

Hi,

Can I scootch on in here too?

I'm 26, TTC #1, cycle 1 of officially trying. Currently on CD33 and due to test tomorrow - however, I broke and tested early today - BFN. AF isn't due for another 3 days, but I don't think I've been lucky first time round.

Hi Mama,

DD is just over 2. It took us over 3 years and a failed ivf before we conceived her naturally so I lack faith in my body's ability to do the whole getting pregnant thing! The two pregnancies last year were a shock and I'm hoping that, despite their extremely sad end, they are a sign that whatever stopped us getting pregnant before has now been fixed somehow x

Hello, mind if I join here too?

I've a few failed pregnancies (chems and early MCs) but still feeling hopeful with TTC #1.

WelshMam I'm 2DPO today too and will test on Tuesday 14th March at 12 DPO, that's when I could see my positives before....(I think I've wasted a lot of tests, testing too soon...).

Anybody feeling any pregnancy signs yet?

I'm going to park myself in here too. Not exactly TTC but we did DTD on CD14 after I got my dates a bit muddled & DH didn't question it until afterwards!

We've got 2 DC already, 5 & 3yo, & had been talking about a DC3 last year. I convinced DH to try because I was having a breakdown at the thought of not having the child that I felt was meant to be in our family & we tried for 2 months, both times conceiving but ending at 4-5 weeks.

Every pregnancy I've had symptoms from CD21, which would be today, & I've been feeling queasy & dizzy on & off all day. I'm trying to tell myself it's psychosomatic or food poisoning or something but it's a pretty distinctive feeling! Plus, my boobs felt swollen & sore this morning.

Not entirely sure how I feel. Mostly I'm in denial & trying to ignore it. I'd still love another child but I don't know how I'll get through another loss, especially given that DH isn't even pretending to be interested this time. He's a great dad but only ever pictured 2 DC. He'd love any more that came along but would need time to get over his usual change=terrifying reaction! He's got past it before conceiving with the others but this time he's barely responding when I talk about it so I'm feeling a bit alone.

I'll stop waffling now! Fx we all get good news soon!

Hi,

Can I join in as well? Im ttc #1 since June 2016 however I wasn't trying properly until January this year. Unfortunately I had an early MC in January. Awaiting my first period and then will be ttc this month.

It'd be great to be part of a group who will be ttc at the same time. Good luck to you all.

Hi Beardy1
So sorry about the early miscarriage in January. I also had an early miscarriage over new year and another in February. This will be our 3rd month in a row if I get a BFP.

How do I work that out lol! My app says 6 days until preg test 😭

AGnu · 07/03/2017 08:59

I'm 10dpo & won't be testing until after the weekend. AF due on Saturday but I'm giving it a couple of days to make sure. The last 2 pregnancies I've tested either before or on the day AF was due. I can't stand seeing the BFP only for AF to arrive within 24 hours!

I've been feeling queasy & tired the last few days. I'm really hungry now but I'm likely to feel sick if I eat anything. I've got to be careful though, with DS2 I nearly ended up in hospital because the nausea was so bad I couldn't even drink!

Amanda assuming an average 28 day cycle, it's likely that you're about 8dpo.

Amanda did you record fm your temp or do any ovulation sticks?

So how many days post ov would I be before I could test? Yeh cycles r 28-30ish days.

I done ov kits but they where a bit all over the place and didn't really do it religiously. This month iv bought 10 new sticks and a thermometer and going to follow that SMEP plan hopefully
