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

I promised myself I would not symptom spot.......and now I am desperately trying to find symptoms because I have literally none.....nada!

sarah1391 · 12/05/2015 13:24

Haha sparkles love that - 'maybies'. I'm crazy symptom spotting again, today it is peeing, i'm peeing a lot nothing to do with the 4 cups of tea

Issie339 · 12/05/2015 12:27

sparkles I just actually laughed really loudly in the work kitchen reading your 'burning pelvis' comment, everyone at work now thinks I'm mad and also skiving...which would be correct. You've also had a good run of dtd this month, very impressive!!

firsttimenewbie · 12/05/2015 11:10

Totally understand your frustration and impatience brooke. I am cd 24 but my cycles tend to be 31 to 32 days long. Pretty sure I didn't catch it this time so just want it to hurry up so I can get on to the next cycle. Can't think about anything else so the next couple of weeks are going to drag!!

sarah1391 · 12/05/2015 11:08

brooke i'm currently fighting the urge to test! I'm so impatient but dont want to see a BFN...really trying to wait until next Tues!!

sparklesandfizz · 12/05/2015 10:33

brooke fr only detect about 30% of pregnancies 6 days before af therefore you are not necessarily out, in fact if you are pregnant it is still more likely that you test neg than pos at this stage. Have patience it will come to you.

sparklesandfizz · 12/05/2015 10:30

Also tww here dtd 12 x2, 13,14,15,16,17 now cd18 planning on once more tonight for luck. Let the crazy symptom spotting begin.
Knackered and over dtd now, need more sleep so actually pleased fertile window over for this month.
Fx for lots of little maybies (see what I did there)

I've got 3 round for lunch today and then both big ones have got friends over after school. Husband working late...early night with a good book for me until he gets in then I'll dtd for luck.

Should go now baby sparkles napping and I have some serious cleaning to do. Have lovely days everyone xx

Brooke113 · 12/05/2015 10:22

I know, I Know :( but it was a first response and they can detect from 6 days early can't they, and it was bfn, so I'm out :( somebody needs to get a bfp soon to cheer me up abit x

sparklesandfizz · 12/05/2015 10:19

brooke step away from the sticks you don't need me to tell you that it's way way too early to test.

sparklesandfizz · 12/05/2015 10:18

issie not surprised you had some burning in your pelvic region looking at that list of dtd GrinWink

Brooke113 · 12/05/2015 09:23

Still expected to see a faint line if it were a positive :( I knew it wasn't to be expected though, so onto next cycle,when Af decides to show up.

Fab dtd marathon Issie fingers crossed for you xx

Issie339 · 12/05/2015 08:27

Sorry for your bfn brooke though at 6 days before AF it is still very early to test so I'll keep my fx AF doesn't arrive for you.

Dtd marathon is over for me now, managed cd8,12,14,15,16,17,18,19. OH totally over it by this point! Lols. Officially in tww now. Had some sickness and burning feeling in pelvis area this morning (though I think I always get this...can't remember).

Any symptom spotting this morning?

Brooke113 · 12/05/2015 07:52

Couldn't help myself this morning, poas, as had 1 frer left, of course it was a bfn, but I secretly hoped these cramps were good news, I should have knew I'd be wrong, cd23 and Af due next Tuesday, I just want it to hurry up now, these cramps are horrible :(

sarah1391 · 11/05/2015 23:29

lazydazy i'm the same, only had 1 real period after coming off the pill so on my first cycle (with a guess of AF being due 19th). Feeling a bit meh tonight, sat wondering if i'm pregnant or if my body is even back to normal after coming off the pill (had quite long cycles anyway - never 28 days, more like 38). Hate not knowing whats going on

firsttimenewbie · 11/05/2015 20:20

I feel EXACTLY the same way lazydaisy. Can't ever imagine it happening to me and find it hard to believe it will. Fx for both of us xx

LazyDaisy99 · 11/05/2015 19:43

Slightly disheartened to be honest... It all seems so unlikely... Can't imagine ever being pregnant... Reading these posts from all you lovely ladies helps me feel better and gives me hope it might happen one day, thank you everyone and loads of love and luck and baby dust to you all xxx

LazyDaisy99 · 11/05/2015 19:38

Hi violet my stats are: age 31 ttc #1, BFP due goodness knows! First proper cycle after coming off the pill and my first AF took 42 days to appear so really not sure when, best guess is 27th may.

Issie339 · 11/05/2015 19:04

Wow out with the girls on a Monday night sparkles you are wild!! Wink

sparklesandfizz · 11/05/2015 18:07

Also clearly x posted with you this morning brooke
Don't be silly you are only on cycle 3 - It will happen and when it does it will be all the more special for being so eagerly awaited.
The problem is we are all sooooo impatient, the thought of newborn snuggles is enough to send us ladies completely gaga bonkers.
Out with the girls tonight so will check in later xxx

sparklesandfizz · 11/05/2015 17:59

How did I manage to miss maybes BFP!!!!
Belated congrats Flowers

sarah1391 · 11/05/2015 14:47

violet planning to test 19th (AF due 18th) although i'm not holding out much hope!

Brooke113 · 11/05/2015 14:25

Thankyou girls, I feel abit better now, although I tried talking to dh about how I feel this morning and he seemed like he's given up already...gave me the whole "well we have two happy, healthy children" I k.ow this and I'm thankful, I just needed him to be abit more supportive :(
Violet you were absolutely spot on, when you said I probably conceived dc incredibly quickly, first cycle, and second cycle, so I just thought It would be the same this time...stupid I know.

I'm going to try and be more positive :) I know Af is on her way, so just need her to come so I can concentrate on next cycle.

VioletIbiza88 · 11/05/2015 14:18

Sarah yeah when AF due, or the day your planning to test if after AF due date.

TashaJade welcome! When I stopped the pill to start ttc, I had a 5 week cycle before first real AF. Sure AF will be along soon and then you can get started properly.

firsttimenewbie · 11/05/2015 13:29

Ah brooke I really feel for you. You really aren't a failure at all. It just takes everyone different amounts of time. :-( hope you start feeling better about it soon xx
violet I am 27 and only method so far is dtd. Thanks for the stats :-)
