Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Issie I am very impressed that you haven't tested yet! Remembering last month when you had 3 different test dates on the stats, and everyone else had 1 lol!

This morning was horrible but I've picked myself up now and put myself back together. Bless him OH was so disappointed, he told me that he hadn't said anything as he hadn't wanted to get my hopes up but he had really thought we had caught this time! Would be amazing to get a BFP next cycle in time for fathers day!

VioletIbiza, 27, cycle 3, TTC #1, BFP due 17/06/15

Issie339 · 20/05/2015 17:43

sparkles still no sign of AF for me, due Saturday but I usually have signs by now. I'm also feeling as though I could be pregnant, though after 7 cycles I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Not testing until Saturday morning, FX!!

sarah1391 · 20/05/2015 10:40

thanks everyone. issie I hope it sorts itself out soon too, starting to get annoying!

brooke sorry you're still getting cramps Flowers hopefully everything is fine and the doctors can put your mind at ease

sparkles i got my hopes up but i seem to think i'll just know when i'm pregnant and i dont feel pregnant so i'm counting myself out. Wasnt using sticks but i think i might buy some if nothing has happened by the end of the week (dont think temping will work for me). but then i'm also thinking maybe i shouldnt do anything and just see what happens... fx for you! a lot of dtd there so you're in with a good chance!

sparklesandfizz · 20/05/2015 09:59

Hugs brooke, maybe tell hubby and get some real life hugs hun!

Brooke113 · 20/05/2015 09:51

I too hope nicky is OK :)

I am sad that I can't enjoy it yet :(

Fab little dtd marathon there sparkles Fx for your bfp on Friday :)

sparklesandfizz · 20/05/2015 09:44

Hey all, violet so sorry AF arrived

sarah you're right about first few cycles off pill they can be all screwy & get your hopes up. Then there are always the positive stories of women who got caught straight away. Drs can't do anything this early you'll need to give things a few months to settle down. Did you ov? Can't remember if you were using sticks or not?

brooke I've got everything crossed for you. So sad that you can't get excited about your line!

Am cd26 today, I don't opk or chart & baby sparkles still BF a lot! ( unsure if ov is happening at a decent time) had EWCM & dtd plenty at fertile time
12,12,13,14,15,16,17 - didn't manage one for luck at cd18 as planned, much too pooped!

Have been keeping things low key during my tww hence my absence. Trying not to obsess too much. No symptoms to report at all...very boring I'm afraid. Don't think it'll be my month but we'll have to wait and see.
Planning to poas fri am as AF due that day I think!

issie what about you chick?

STILL NO nicky - where is that girl?

firsttimenewbie · 20/05/2015 08:20

Oh no! I am so sorry violet. I agree with issie definitely treat yourself to proper coffee.
Ah brooke feel so bad you are going through his alone. Are you sure dh wouldn't want to support you even if things don't work out?
Thanks issie guess you never know but not too hopefully. Have even forced myself to put on my 'period pants' today lol!

Brooke113 · 20/05/2015 08:13

Sarah Issie I'm still getting lower cramps, they're really getting me down as they're there constantly. Going to phone gp's once I've took dc to school. Feel abit :( that I'm going through this alone as still haven't told dh as I don't feel the pregnancy is viable :( I'm going to do a digital test a week today in half term week, if Af doesn't get me before then, if that's positive then I'll tell dh then, for now I've got you girlies to moan to Blush as nobody in.RL knows :(

Issie339 · 20/05/2015 08:02

sorry for your BFN sarah and hope your cycle gets settled soon.

Oh no violet Sad hope you're ok and not too down today, it really is the hardest time of the month isn't it. Treat yourself to a week of proper coffees Brew

newbie hopefully it was just a bit of old blood and not the start of AF, fx.

brooke how are you feeling?

sarah1391 · 20/05/2015 07:52

Hi brooke how are you feeling?

Brooke113 · 20/05/2015 07:39

So sorry you got a bfn Sarah Af hasn't arrived yet though, so you're not out yet!

(hugs) Violet so sorry Af got you Flowers

sarah1391 · 20/05/2015 07:34

Awww violet sorry AF got u Flowers. I've kind of decided i'm out and that the reason AF isnt here is that my body isnt right after being on the pill

VioletIbiza88 · 20/05/2015 07:33

Definitely Af :-(

VioletIbiza88 · 20/05/2015 06:51

Started spotting at 6 this morning so I'm out :-(

sarah1391 · 19/05/2015 22:55

violet i'm on cd40. I think my cycle should be 34-40ish days so guessed at 38. But a lot of things i've read some people have like 28, 50, 30, 70 etc type cycles after coming off the pill Hmm hope AF stays away for u then u can test in a few days :)

newbie will see what happens by the weekend then test again. Maybe after that i should go to the doctors and ask whats going on!

VioletIbiza88 · 19/05/2015 22:37

Well done for resisting when you were actually in boots! Not sure I could have done that! Good thing I was working from 7am til 7.30pm and had no chance to get anywhere near a boots!

VioletIbiza88 · 19/05/2015 22:35

^I know lol, its scary isn't it!

firsttimenewbie · 19/05/2015 22:19

Jesus just read that back. So sorry for my gross post. Amazing how much you share on here isn't it!

firsttimenewbie · 19/05/2015 22:18

Ah I am so sorry sarah could it still be early days though?

So hard isn't it violet but well done for staying so strong. I literally stopped in my tracts at the preg yet section of boots today but I resisted. Just as well as I am almost 100% sure I am out. Ok so tmi alert but dh and I dtd tonight (for funsies rather than trying) and when I was cleaning up I noticed brown in my 'secretions' so pretty sure af must be round the corner :-(

VioletIbiza88 · 19/05/2015 22:12

Oh sorry to hear that Sarah what CD are you now? Do you think your late?

AF has stayed away for me so far today. I was a bit worried earlier this evening as I got a few very mild cramps that were like the kind I get at the very beginning of AF, but so far nothings come of it, so I'm hanging on.

Really have wanted to test today, I'm 12dpo, but don't want the disappointment, I am going to try my best to hold out until I'm hopefully definitely late. Hate not knowing when periods due though, as I might already be late?!? Irregular cycles arrrrgh!!

sarah1391 · 19/05/2015 22:00

So POAS...BFN. No idea whats going on :(

Issie339 · 19/05/2015 17:40

And actually I seem to remember someone on here has already been buying baby things, is it nicky? I seem to remember that guilty confession Grin

Issie339 · 19/05/2015 17:33

Fx for tonight sarah!

Ooh you see I'm the opposite to you newbie I can't stop browsing for baby stuff, I love it! Moses baskets, tiny babygrows and don't get me started on double buggies!! #obsessed haha.

Lovelyjubbly95 · 19/05/2015 17:33

Hi everyone. Hope the antibiotics sort you out Brooke! I've been having spotting today and cramping today :( only on day 13 of my cycle....

firsttimenewbie · 19/05/2015 16:09

Fx sarah

brooke just think how excited and happy you will be when the drugs kick in, you feel better and you can finally celebrate your bfp!!

I have to go to mothercare tonight to get my new baby nephew some clothes as a pressie. Feel awful coz I would normally be excited but am dreading it as don't think my broodiness can take it!
