Oh I’m 33 (almost 34!) xx

bubblybrit · 07/01/2018 10:24

@LilyLolo81. I know how you feel. I was certain I was pg this month so when af arrived on Friday I was gutted. Especially as I knew that we had dtd at the right time and felt a little off as well! I also convinced myself that a faint line was visible on a FRER so made my disappointment even worse. Fx that you are ok and that Feb is the month for those BFP Smile x

CatRen27 · 07/01/2018 10:49

Hi ladies, marking my place here in case af shows on the 17th Jan.

I'm sure I'll see you lot here soon, fingers crossed for lots of bfps!

LilyLolo81 · 07/01/2018 10:57

@bubblybrit thank you so much, it’s so nice to know that there’s others in the same (frustrating and crappy) boat as me. Ive had what I’ve thought were faint lines on tests a few times so I’m giving you a big cyber hug, I know how awful that is. I get every early pregnancy symptom possible every month, my body is so cruel to me. Im having a lovely very strong coffee just now and I might just have a very strong g&t with lunch because I can stickes tongue out at Mother Nature.

Fingers crossed for us all this month. I hope you’re all having a lovely Sunday! Grinxxx

LilyLolo81 · 07/01/2018 10:58

sticks, bloody autocorrect is even being a pain today lol xx

Owlpatrol · 07/01/2018 11:02

@LilyLolo81 @bubblybrit I totally know how you feel. I had total melt down this af week I've been so mardy and every pregnant woman I've seen has set me off. Dh has been great though. It's such an emotional rollercoaster you need to allow yourself yo be up and down rather than being this perfect trying to concieve woman that the world portrays it's just not true!

I've been feeling really sick lately I'm obviously not pregnant as had my af and I've noticed cramps nearly every day this month so I'm thinking when I actually am pregnant how will I actually feel!?!

BaliBound · 07/01/2018 11:28

I'll join.

Cycle 5
BFP/AF due 5th Feb

I'm another whos really dissapointed. I was so sure we'd done enough last month. I think it's harder this time because when we first agreed to ttc, we didn't think for one moment we'd be going intp 2018 without being pregnant. Oh well, onwards an upwards I guess.

LilyLolo81 · 07/01/2018 11:35

Big hugs to us all ladies! I was so excited about the thought of possibly going back to work with a Christmas bean (I ovulated on Christmas Day/Boxing Day). Meh...need to get my big girl knickers on and try to get on with things xx

bubblybrit · 07/01/2018 13:39

@LilyLolo81. I think I’ll join you with that lunchtime g&t! Then pull myself together for cycle 3.....still early days for me in relation to the ttc journey but can’t help being a little disheartened!

@owlpatrol. I was baby bombed twice and although I was happy for them I was also a little envious. God that makes me sound awful doesn’t it? I’m going to try and relax a little more this cycle - no OPKs, no symptom spotting and no testing until AF late. Haha don’t know who I’m kidding! Will likely revert to normal when in tww!

@BaliBound. I know how you feel. I would have loved to have announced a new year pregnancy. I already thought about how I would have done it so was a bit of a kick in the gut when af arrived.

Fx that Feb is our month ladies!! Xx

Owlpatrol · 07/01/2018 14:25

I need to do opks because last month I was so sure we'd done it. I thought I ovulated cd14 so unfortunately I need opks to tell me so I'm not wasting time but plan to be a bit more relaxed if that's at all possible!

BaliBound · 07/01/2018 15:03

@owlpatrol I've been considering opks for next month too but DP doesn't want me too as he thinks it makes it more pressurised Hmm

I was reading the thread about grapefruit juice and cm earlier today and Im definitely giving that a try. I get barely any ewcm atm.

BubblesPls · 07/01/2018 17:32

Not only did AF arrive this month but the b!tch came 4 days early!

Af/bfp due Feb 1st so thank god I won't have to wait long next month :P

BubblesPls · 07/01/2018 17:35

@Twiglet2511 we're almost identical XD

Also TTC #1

Let's hope this is our month 🤞🏼

BaliBound · 07/01/2018 18:18

Well my AF has gone and I'm back to creamy cm with not even a hint of pink. So now I don't know if that was AF starting or not. I assume so as it was red blood and right on time for AF but it was last night and first thing this morning only Confused Still cramping like crazy so I guess my body is just messing me around.

Hi I would like to join too! Just starting the TTC journey and will be starting during my next cycle in Feb. Will be due AF Feb 27th.

Age: 28
TTC: #1
Cycle 1

I am worried it will take us a while as we haven't been "trying" but have also not being using proper contraception for many years now without getting pregnant. Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

Bee4S · 08/01/2018 18:48

I'm jumping on the bus!

Age 26
TTC #1
Cycle 3 coming up.

Was holding out hope after not getting +OPK this month but I only had enough strips to test up to CD17. Had EWCM a couple of days after my predicted FW (I use Ovia App) so though maybe I OV'd late. BPN FRER yesterday and spotting pink today. AF due Thursday but think it'll come a bit early now...

Owlpatrol · 08/01/2018 18:57

@BaliBound yeah tried grapefruit juice today haha dh said about how many sugars are in them juices Hmm whatever!
