Looking for a TTC buddy!

Hi girl and babs! Welcome! Definitely in the right place if you're slowly becoming a baby obsessed maniac!! I'm also in tww so feel free to obsessively symptom spot with me ...

My dilemma this evening? Do I drink because it could be my last weekend to? Or do I not because I already might have conceived? Can't beat a Friday night glass of Pinot! Unless hubby tempts me with a curry.

cantbelieve hehe whenever I see things I like I make a little note on my laptop of the link etc. I feel like it would be jinxing it to buy anything, so instead have lists (because obviously that's so much better!) haha!
I also think to myself ooh if it happens this month their birthday would be around such and such. Very silly because it builds up hope in my head

Hello! Can I join this thread please? I'm 31, ttc #2, second cycle trying and am in my TWW...going slowly crazy symptom watching!! Actually POAS on Wednesday, 7 days before my period is due so got a negative (well, obviously! What was I thinking?!) Sigh. Anyway, hi everyone!

So you are in your first TWW if you have ovulated babs? How exciting? Do you mean there are other things in life other than this?!

haha Nurse, I'm not as far as googling them yet, but I already have the spare room decorated in my head!

Ohhh! You're on the dark side manderley - far too technical for me! And yes same here, dealing with insane projects and figures at work & I just switch off at 6 and never think about it again when this is almost always on my mind! We were up at 4.30am with the dog, she just wanted to play. Supposed it could get me used to night feeds though..

Can't I'm a structural engineer. Made it through the night with a vomit free kitchen floor so we have progress!

Definitely the place for crazy over thinkers. You wouldn't think I could oversee multimillion pound projects and yet get so wound up by all this!

Have a good Friday everyone :)

babs this is just the place! I find myself googling nursery furniture and prams. Someone needs to stop me!!!

Thanks! I Have a very short back story. After 7 yrs together I have talked dh into getting started. First month ttc. Day 18 of 26 day cycle. Going mad. Hats off to everyone doing this, it's not easy to concentrate on anything else!

Hi babs & welcome,

You'll be well looked after and will fit right in on here! Haha. Crazy overthinkers are our speciality!! What's your background so far?

Heya girls. Is this the right thread for a crazy 33 Yr old that has become an overthinker in just 3 weeks and can't think of anything else other than when I can poas?

Ah what do you do then? Sorry if you've already told me!

Aw you have a naughty puppy like mine!!

Ah, there's a copy of Spons deep in my desk somewhere.

Home now and had a nice warm bath. Been up since 3 as the dog decided to redecorate the kitchen floor. Think I'll get an early night. DH will be home soon hopefully.

I'm doing a Quantity Surveying degree part time as part of my job, company pay for the degree so I really shouldn't complain!

Sounds like you could do with some chill time! Are you home in the warm now?

OH is sat next to me munching on Brie & Stilton ... Mmmm!

OOh, what are you studying?! I have a big deadline at the end of the month. Currently managing a team of 8 and, as much as I love them, I'll be quite glad come february! Hopefully my next project will be a little less intense so I can enjoy a bit of a trough for a while :)

Oooh boyle I must say, they are verrrrrry pregnant symptoms!! And I should know, I mean I have them every month! Haha.

No endo for me nurse but I do all the things you do. With the pillow under the bum, I bring my knees up to my boobs also to give it more tilt. I'm absolutely sure this is NO help but I do it anyway. I've also decided to quit caffeine. Well other than the caramel macchiato I had today of course!

Hi sploinky - it was me on the other thread about acupuncture waves

Hi milou - we are all buddies here

I feel your pain manderley just got in since 7.45 this morning, 10 hours of lectures today. My brain is frazzled. Exam next week! Yay!

Think I finally ovulated today, so will be unwinding for a bit, & hopping into bed I think I have a world record this month, my FF is in overload, can barely keep up!!

How are our lovely BFP ladies??

Evening all, and hello to lovely new people! I seem to be out of sync with everyone as I always log on to find so much conversation has happened!

Hope everyone's doing well? any more news? Still hanging in until Saturday, have my travel jabs tomorrow and also going to speak to nurse as my eczema has gone crazy lately. Currently stuck at the station where I change trains due to delays and utterly fed up. I'm a hardened commuter but this is wearing me down, has happened every night this week and adds half an hour to a 50 minute journey. Gah!

@milou90

I used to count it manually but it's hard with a irregular cycle.
Right now I am using clear blue advanced fertility monitor.
If you are based in London - I recommend looking up the "Imperial Conceive Study" - A friend told me about this study and I got free monitors from the lovely research team who taught me how to work out the best time to DTD.

Good luck! Let's hope we both get BFPs soon! x

sploinky, just trying to count my cycles, but not sure I am doing it right. How are you tracking yours, any tips?

Hi NurseDoctor Me too, though it has only been 1 and a half months, it feels like forever! Like you, also trying to have healthier diet. New year, new resolutions and hopefully BFP!

Hi @milou90!

I have been TTC since September, and had the same problems trying to work out ovulation patterns too. How are you tracking your ovulation?

I am also considering acupuncture as recommended by one of the other girls on mumsnet.

milou90 I started in Dec too
Already overthinking everything!

New to mumsnet, and TTC first child. Only started Dec! Still getting to grips with ovulation tracking, looking for TTC buddy :)

Personal question but anyone else here have endometriosis? At present I have no idea if it's going to impact our chances of conception Have overhauled our diet, trying to lose a bit of weight myself as BMI edged into overweight, taking my folic acid
Tips i've been given by friends are the pillow under bum. Going to sleep straight after sex rather than popping to the loo. One actually hung upside down off the side of the bed after... not sure i'm going to try that!

And somebody's breath stinks on the tram this morning so this MUST be my heightened sense of smell

!!!!!!Symptom spotting alert!!!!!! hope everyone ok... 5/6 dpo I think!! Been so sleepy this week (nothing to do with cats and the wind keeping me awake of course).. Felt really sick last night (nothing to do with the fact that I'd missed lunch and then wolfed my tea down)... Last night my boobs and belly felt heavy and really low down (nothing to do with the fact that I'd put half a stone on over christmas)!!

Ooh the things my imagination could convince me of!

Hoping your still holding out manderley?!

Not familiar with those can't sorry!!

Stir I love the way you told oh... So sweet and romantic

Hi loriella Was worried we had high jacked your post! TWW is awful, I thought if started mine yest but not so! Will be end of this week now do can share frustration with you!

manderley you are coping very well, I would probably have poas x 20 by now! Haha.

Anyone know anything about LH & FSH results?! Back from docs with my results today!
