Looking for a TTC buddy!

Hello! I'm needing a TTC buddy as I'm finding myself constantly over thinking things and it's driving my husband mad so would be great to discuss it with someone else in the same boat!

I'm TTC baby number 3. I came off the pill 3 days ago and I'm very impatient, want to get started right now! Anyone else in a similar situation want to buddy up?

Glinda there is nothing worse than feeling like you have done everything right and it hasn't worked! There is probably quite a lot of truth to the concept of when you stop "trying" it happens, but I am far too neurotic to attempt that!

Hope all went well Boyle

Hi MrsLowe ah that sucks that AF came! 50 days isn't nice, are you trying anything to regulate? I'm on CD , currently 6dpo. Don't feel any different really. I did have a fair bit of creamy CM today but I don't know if that means anything. I've got a feeling that I'll be seeing AF by the end of the weekend. I think this month may be the worst because we have put so much effort in and actually got a positive OPK for the first time ever... ah well! Here's to shagging!

Hi everyone!

Thanks cant I've now poas 6 times, 4 different brands and types. Couldn't help myself!!! Told dh parents this am and telling mine this pm. I know it's early but were so excited! And want a network of help around us.

I tested at 10 dpo... I had ssoooo many symptoms and sort of knew it was time to test.

NurseDoctor · 24/01/2015 00:19

Currently ovulating cantbelieve so AF not due until 7th Feb. Previous months I was testing around 2 days prior to due AF as am a crazy nutcase driving myself mad Sad silly (and expensive) I know, but first response grabbed me with their 6 days before slogans! Definitely think overthinking and anticipating can make the whole process harder.

emma85x · 24/01/2015 00:14

nursedoctor you can buy hpt in poundland called First Vue. Apparently they're pretty good so stock up! Wink AF is due on Monday for me but chart is pants so looking to the next couple of months instead! (hopefully will start clomid) Fx to you all xx

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 23/01/2015 15:37

Rule of thumb is the day you are expecting your period... rule of symptom spotters on mumsnet is 10dpo... When is AF due Nursedoc?

NurseDoctor · 23/01/2015 15:13

When does everyone tend to test? Because i'm constantly symptom spotting i've got in a bad habit of testing really early which I think is meant to be very unreliable (not to mention expensive!). I think this month I will wait to be late first

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 23/01/2015 09:19

Hi all,

3dpo over here, first few days have gone so quickly, have been wrapped up in revision and exams all week - now onto coursework, such a help to get lost in study!

Congrats on the CB confirmation Boyle. How are you all feeling and all of the other pg ladies?

Doesn't sound very nice River - hope it all calms down for you.

How are you getting on MrsLOL? Nearly testing time for you!

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 21/01/2015 19:53

nurse I had hyperthyroidism diagnosed at 7, thyroidectomy at 10 and well controlled on levothyroxine since. Now my free T4 is high and my TSH is completely suppressed. But I have symptoms of hypothyroid. I just feel TTC it would be best to see endocrinologist - everything's been pretty stable for last 20 years until now.

Boyle1884 · 21/01/2015 19:14

Sorry river, that's rubbish but I'm sure you can pick yourself up and keep smiling! Thanks Emma and nurse! Feels real today, first response was much brighter today!! Eek!

NurseDoctor · 21/01/2015 14:28

Boyle yay! I am hoping this is a lucky thread! Congratulations!
IfYouWere best of luck with the endocrinologist. Were your levels previously well controlled?

emma85x · 21/01/2015 08:31

Congratulations boyle such fantastic news! Flowers

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 20/01/2015 21:23

Congratulations Boyle that's great news! So happy for you ??

Not so good news so me - AF showed up today & my thyroid results are bad... could explain why I'm still not pregnant though. Doc wants to see me on Thursday & I'm going to ask for a referral to endocrinologist.

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 20:28

Great news Boyle! Congratulations!Flowers

MrsLOL2015 · 20/01/2015 19:30

Ahhhh Boyle - Congrats! ahhhh all these BFP's are completely mood-boosting. Delighted for you :)

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 19:04

Thanks everyone... Just done a boots digi... Bfp! Pregnant came up within two mins! Eek! Can't believe it. Definitely won't sink in for a few days.

Hang in there nurse and good luck with your exams.

Mrslol hopefully you've timed it right. You'll be fine :)

MrsLOL2015 · 20/01/2015 17:59

Hey new people, and congratulations to all with BFPs!
Feel like I am in the hundreth day of my TWW!, AF due next Tuesday.

I know I only just started TTC this month but I am desperate to get pregnant now. Been really frustrated the last week. I calculated my supposed ovulation days, danced like a crazed senorita all through it, then....when it should have passed I got heavy CM and became super horny, so I freaked out and decided the calc was wrong and body was telling me - danced, danced, danced and now...I await my fate :(

Furious hugs for all of us waiting x

NurseDoctor · 20/01/2015 17:43

Fingers crossed for you Boyle
Ovulation week this week but also thr exams for my hardest uni module :-( stressed up to thr eyeballs, god knows what my blood pressure is! So pretty sure this month is going to be a lost cause :-( anyone else struggling with timing?

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 20/01/2015 16:34

Congratulations boyle - really pleased for you, I knew it would be positive for you today.

Also good luck with thyroid results River

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 20/01/2015 08:28

boyle I can see a faint line easily without my glasses on - fingers crossed for you!!

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 08:08

River good luck with thyroid results xx

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 06:21

It's faint, but does look like a line! Def keep POAS over next few days to check but, all being well, Congratulations!

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 06:13

Agh...on app so can't see! hang on...

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 06:07

Glad the ladies with BFPs are doing well!!

Hope you weren't too tired last night can't?!
