TTC Hysterics thread!

Hi a wierd Idea but I've browsed through threads and seen that some poster feel sometimes that complaining about i.e not being pg after 2 months is insensitive to people having problems.

I can see their point , but we all need a place to let off steam without being made to feel guilty. So......

I made this thread as a perfect place to spout off any worries how silly they may seem.

Please be honest about what you think!

I'm new too but thanks to the lovely ladies in here I'm being brought up to speed sharpish. Second monthly cycle or second month of trying in our case. First month I was a wreck then AF showed early. Trying to be calm and pragmatic now, charting helped me calm down, plus just blowing off steam in here. I do hope your scan spreads some light on whats going on down there and lets you get on with enjoying ttc.

When I first came off the implant I had a fair few months of constant bleeding and it settled down eventually. Flipping tiring though. (hug)

Thank you for your kind words Hearty, I'm not telling anyone either as I don't want everyone asking me every month if I am pregnant. It just feels that I am on all the time (which I am!!) and I'm going mad!!

What is a second cycle? Sorry for not understanding but am new to all this baby talk!!!

HeartyBoom · 19/02/2012 21:53

Ah this thread, how glad I was to see it.

Not a freak at all Nutty ((hug)) Blood tests and scans are happening so you're a step closer to being able to work this out. I'm with Pipbin this is our second cycle and I've cracked up already. Now at the end of a two week wait, no AF, desperate to POAS. I WILL BE STRONG.

I'm telling no one but best friend in RL Wading and she's just fallen pregnant first cycle. She's a darling and has been so supportive of me going crazy already.

Hi everyone,

I have just joined and found this thread. What a God send as I thought it was just me!! I have been TTC for about 7 months now but no joy. I don't think it will happen any time soon as I have a period every two weeks since coming off the Depo injection :( Been for blood tests and now waiting for a scan to see if I'm ovulating at all. I feel such a freak as everyone around me seems to fall pregnant easily or even by mistake!!!

Fisharefriendsnotfood · 19/02/2012 20:47

Hi Everyone,

I got the faintest, actually almost not there only if you look really hard at a certain angle pink line on an early response this morning. Have fingers and toes crossed

Pipbin · 16/02/2012 23:41

And isn't everyone pregnant right now? And every advert for baby related things or pregnant women. Argh.

Hope everyones doing okay

I'm having a shitty week, of another shitty month
I came on 2 days before valentines day and thought great another month wasted.
I know I've only been ttc 2 months but I'm so desperate spent last couple of days telling myself to calm down and not think as obsessing will stop me concieving i.e a watched pot never boils however of course its the first thing when I wake up and when I got to sleep, thats on my my mind. I'm a SAHM so its quite hard to take my mind off it when my life revolves around babydom.
To top it off i'm going to be an auntie soon and some days I think it will be quite difficult for me to visit tbh.
Had a really bad day yesterday , spent alot of the day unsuccessfully fighting off tears. What If I never get preg?
I try and tell myself if my DP and I had one child we are obviously ok fertility wise and should chill, but my mind won't let me :'(

I would say wait morecoffee. Do you know when you ovulated?

I have been having one teaspoon of honey a day. I got it from Aldi where its £4 a jar.

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 12/02/2012 21:35

Saw you had posted this on another thread too. I will have to give this a go. How much manuka honey do you have and how often?

Im getting twitchy at the moment. I want to go out and buy a preganancy test tommorow, as if I had a 'normal' 28 day cycle, AF would be due tommorow. As it is, my cycle is irratic to say the least, sometimes 28 days but other times can be shorter or longer Confused

Soooooo, what to do, do I test or do I wait?

Pipbin · 10/02/2012 17:08

Ladies, I just thought I would come and share this:
This month I have been taking extra vitamin B and manuka honey.
Now it might just be coincidence but I have had the 'best' EWCM I have ever had and a really strong positive on an OPK stick.

Normally I hardly get anything on an OPK, and when I do get a positive it's well into the ten minute wait. This time the line was there before the test line!

TMI ALERT Seriously, I just went to the loo and the EWCM on the paper was so thick that as I pulled it to check it was stretching it lifted the paper up. Over the last four days I reckon there has been about 3 tablespoons of the stuff.

Chunkychicken · 10/02/2012 15:05

Thank you!!!

Hope its a really lucky thread... :o

wifey6 · 10/02/2012 07:33

chunkychicken....thats wonderful news!!! Grin Smile Grin Smile

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 10/02/2012 06:46

Congrats chunky seems like this thread is a lucky one! :) make sure you take it easy!

Chunkychicken · 10/02/2012 06:30

After sharing my TTC madness on here, thought I'd share my good news. Got a BfaintP on Tues, way earlier than I expected, so am keeping all fingers & toes crossed that this one is s 'sticker'. Will be testing again over the weekend before we tell anyone else in RL to be absolutely certain. Not sure I quite believe it yet...

So after all my moaning/whining/hysteria etc. I actually got lucky this cycle!!! Fingers crossed for everyone else :o

Pipbin · 09/02/2012 23:22

I don't tell him when it's 'that week'. I don't want him to get performance anxiety.

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 09/02/2012 23:05

Friend who is ttc dc2 told me earlier that when she conceived her dd, she and her husband dtd TWICE a day for 2weeks over her suspected fertile time! ! They conceived in her first month of trying! ... this time she said they are lucky to dtd on alternate days :)

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 09/02/2012 17:00

Huge Congrats to goldrill Grin such lovely news! Have a Brew take it easy now!
fish don't be disheartened,test again in a day or 2.with my ds1 I tested negative for 5 days after af was due before I got the magic 2 lines :)

So, Dh and I are feeling tired but pretty fit at the moment! Wink this 'cycle' we have been dtd everyday or every other day as I have no idea when I ovulate as my cycle is all over the place. Ov tests haven't arrived yet!grrrr so we will just keep going for now! Had my scan last week and all is 'normal' which is good news, my suspected pcos is not visible so that's fab! Awaiting blood test results now to see if they show anything.

Got a good feeling about this month,so fingers crossed!

wifey6 · 09/02/2012 17:00

Its probably too early to tell...don't give up hope yet. Daft question....do you tell your DH/DP when is the best time to dtd or do you just pounce at the right time?
I haven't told my DH when's the best time..not that he's complaining! Grin

Fisharefriendsnotfood · 09/02/2012 16:17

I did it wifey and was negative, have had a really odd cycle Confused had positive opk for 5 days before going neg but I never felt ovulation at all and I normally do Confused .

wifey6 · 09/02/2012 16:14

postie.... Not posture - damn iPhone auto-correct!

wifey6 · 09/02/2012 16:13

fish....does it say how many days before AF you can take it? Wouldn't want you to test too early & not get an accurate result.
I am in the OV stage...so have achy back & sides...don't have a good feeling about this month though for some reason...
The posture bought be the 30 cheapy tests today so I am prepared!

Fisharefriendsnotfood · 09/02/2012 15:35

How is everyone doing? I'm due af on Monday and just had a first response poas delivered with my Tesco shopping.

Any point in doing it now or should I wait till morning?

Pipbin · 06/02/2012 22:25

Evening ladies, this is just the thread I needed.

This is my first month of temping and I think the early morning beep of the thermometer is making me twitchy.
DH had a SA first thing Saturday morning and we are waiting on the results. This is his second one, but we were never told the results of the first.

Just got EWCM today and got stupidly excited by that. Seriously? Something I would have just thought was a bit grim and not looked twice at 6 months ago has now got me excited.

I am lucky though as there is a lady I work with who I can talk about all this to. She tried for two years before being referred for IVF, only to find out that nature had got there first. (sadly not to be ....... but they did go on to have two DDs after that).

Oh, and congrats Goldrill
