Hi! I am due my period in the next few days (I hope! that's a first ;)) then I will officially be ttc! Very exciting times...

So I thought I would start a nice friendly thread so we can go on our ttc journey together!!

I have been taking folic acid when I remember the last few weeks or so and came off the pill a few months ago.. I'm not entirely sure of my cycles yet, but think I'm due thurs or fri..

So come say hi! x

Thanks Zebra - thanks Padster (yes overawing sound like a word to me) and yes it is. It's really starting to get to me, so I think a little break is the right thing to do at this time. Hope you have a lovely Christmas too - best of luck to you all. xxx

padster75 · 17/12/2012 17:56

Life hope you get the answers you seek and a BFP. I completely understand just how overawing (

BJZebra · 17/12/2012 15:53

I've been away from MN for a few days as I started to have some dizzy spells and thought it may be due to over enthusiastic use of iPhone. Anyway, DP mentioned it to MIL and she said 'oh maybe she's pregnant'. So now DP is convinced. I googled a bit and it seems for some dizziness is an early symptom. I've still 7 days to go until AF.
My ears are a little fuzzy and dizzyness is in 3rd day. Could just be a little ear infection.

Anyone experienced this? Xxx
Almost forgot to mention (ironically) i seem to be more forgetful than normal too.

BJZebra · 17/12/2012 15:46

Life - good luck and look forward to hearing from you when come back to tell us about your BFP :-)

lifeislikeaboxofchoccies · 17/12/2012 15:12

Thank you so much Linda, you're very kind. Smile Hope you have nice Christmas too and will keep fingers crossed for a big BFP soon for you. Big hugs and kisses back. xxxxxxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 17/12/2012 13:13

Life I'm sorry to hear your feeling so down but I think your right, take a wee break and try and relax a bit, it's the hardest thing ttc. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope to hear from you again soon. Good luck with your appointment and try to have a nice Christmas. Big hugs and kisses from me. XxxxxxxX

lifeislikeaboxofchoccies · 17/12/2012 13:00

Sorry to hear your cycle is so messed up at the moment Linda. I hope it will sort itself out soon.

I'm writing to let you know I am going to take a break from this forum for a while. I am feeling quite down, and whilst you are all lovely, I don't think it is helping my TTC by being too focused on the subject. I need to just relax and try not to think about it too much (somehow!)

I am also suspecting that I have endometriosis and cannot get pregnant naturally. Every cycle my period seems more and more messed up and my ovary pains get worse. This time around I only had 3 days of bleeding and it stopped completely. I usually have 6 days. I am going to see a gyno at the end of Jan, earliest I could get an appt, and hope to have a LAP done to confirm my suspicion. I am really anxious and in my head I am trying to come to terms with the fact that conceiving is going to take a lot longer than expected.

I am still going to be trying but am going to try and take the pressure off a bit somehow. Anyway, I wish you ladies all the best of luck! And hope to see some BFPs when I come back! xxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 17/12/2012 08:35

Started bleeding really heavy last night, it's calmed down now but I just don't have a clue what's going on with my body at all just now so I'm going to my gp today for a wee mot to get this motor running again, lol xxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 17/12/2012 08:33

Kbaby I think if it's going to reassure you in any way then do it xxx

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 22:04

They won't gv it to me but I'll just go private it's more the mental thing do I want to do it will it make me more paranoid or will it relax me xxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 16/12/2012 21:15

If its gona put ur mind at ease after everything uv been thru I'd ask for it if I was u xxx

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 20:14

Aww ok well hopefully every pregnancy is different. Still contemplating this scan xxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 16/12/2012 18:29

Kbaby I would try not to worry too much about the morning sickness, when I was pregnant with my 1st ds I had none at all but with my 2nd ds I was really ill, 2 completely different experiences altogether and 2 gorgeous little boys at the end Grin

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 17:35

Ye def do it Hun then youve eliminated anything that it could be. I'm really paranoid I gt really sore boobs but no morning sickness at all which is worrying me, as I had it that bad with my daughter I was admited in to hospital and put on a drip because I couldn't even drink water. And nothing yet
Which is worrying me xxxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 16/12/2012 17:28

I had a cyst when I was pregnant with my 1st ds but I don't remember it being painful like this and it went away quite quickly, think I'll go and see my gp just to be on the safe side xxx

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 17:16

Lol I ment doc but it shouldn't be painfull when you bed so def get it seen to it could be something silly.

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 17:13

I had the same I had mine removed over 4 months ago I won't lie I hated it, I had mine just after my misscarige two years ago because I had a very heavy period, but it made me suck I used to spot whenever I had no regular cycle. And when I had it removed it had moved inside was do painfull. But I think they say after 2-3 months your cycles start to return back to normal, is your cycle regular? And mayb ask ypur foc to scan ypu just incase there is a cyst Xxxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 16/12/2012 16:52

Kbaby I had the mirena but only had if for 6 weeks, think I've maybe got a cyst because of it, the spotting only lasted a wee while this morning and (tmi here) but just bd'd and it was very painful xxx

111007kbaby · 16/12/2012 16:31

Hya Linda what coil did you have xxx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 16/12/2012 09:28

Think I'm out before I've really even started this month ladies!!! Not due af til 3rd of Jan but had some spotting today so thinks she's coming very early... God damn coil was the biggest mistake I ever made Hmm

lifeislikeaboxofchoccies · 15/12/2012 13:17

Thanks Linda and Pegster - I loved the acupuncture! The lady who did it was very nice. She's given me lots of homework though - got to pretty much keep track of everything that happens during my cycle so she's got a good idea of what to treat me for when she sees me again in January. It's great to hear it worked for you Pegster, that gives me hope.

Glad you're feeling better Linda, wonder how you'll get on with the conceive plus... Good luck!

Welcome Cocoa! Sorry to hear about your ectopic, that must have been really scary. Good to know acupuncture helped you relax and that you conceived your little girl shortly after - perhaps it's something you can consider again if it helps you feel a bit less nervous - good luck!

Padster - I think the crystals is a great idea. I think anything that will make you feel better and feel proactive is positive. I wore a ruby in zoisite crystal for a while as it is meant to enhance fertility and help with diseases of the ovaries. Certainly can't do any harm I think. As Linda says try and relax and enjoy your Christmas.

xx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 15/12/2012 11:01

Thanks cocoa and welcome...

Padster try not to worry too much and enjoy your Christmas, I know it's easier said than done, just after I fell pregnant with my 1st ds my oh got paid off, a month before Christmas, luckily he got another job just before he was born...

My conceive plus has just been delivered so fx it helps do the trick, think I'm due to ovulate sometime this week then it's the god awful 2ww Hmm

padster75 · 15/12/2012 10:40

Morning all,

Missed out loads since Monday, been so busy working I haven't had chance to come on and read what has been happening with you all. Hello to the new names I haven't seen before.

ninja so sorry to hear your news, and yes families come in many shapes and forms. I am lucky my DS is wonderfully supportive, although for this year he wont be getting that baby brother he wants so badly. (Hard to tell really, who wants it more, me, DH or DS .......... this house is mental at the moment).

Have taken to using crystals to help me conceive ........... so that's where my extra poundage is coming from ....... moonstone on a necklace and a orange calcite in my pocket ..... we shall see

DH and I are going to try and get in the festive spirit today and buy some pressies, but our hearts are not in it this year. Job security worries are making us very reticent to buy anything.

Another busy weekend, DS has a Yorkshire cup quarter final match tomorrow, so our weekend is crammed into today.

Have a safe and happy one xxx

cocoachannel · 15/12/2012 09:53

Hi everyone. Going to TTC #2 from January. DD will be two in February. I had an ectopic before my pregnancy with her so am quite nervous. I had acupuncture after the EP and conceived DD quickly so also rate it although acknowledge we just don't know if it was a factor! The relaxation may have helped more than the needles...

Glad you're feeling better Linda!

Good luck everyone.

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 15/12/2012 09:04

Morning ladies, hope your all well today... My tummy bug has gone already, thank god... Feeling much better today, good timing too as we are babysitting for our niece and our twin nephews tonight, they're only 5 months old, going to be a mad house with 5 kids over night, wish me luck, lol Grin
