TTC - a relaxed thread.

Hi, ok if I join too? I'm 35, TTC #2, first month of trying, am currently enduring the torturous 2WW AF due 1/2 September. #1 was a bit of a surprise and is now 3.5 years so am new to the process of TTC, sooo much to learn!

I actually think having tests in the house is probably not a good idea - if i hadn't bought a pack of Tescos cheapies yesterday "to have in for next month" I wouldn't have bothered going out specially last night for one, iykwim.

Well as you know i don't think anything is stirring....but the last couple of days I've been peeing a lot more frequently, and that was one of my very earliest symptoms last time (I said to the doctor "I'm either pregnant or I have a UTI")

So I did a test last night and it was BFN. Of course since AF isn't due till Saturday...and the last time I had an early negative test too which was a false negative....it isn't as conclusive as I'd like. My own big fat fault for doing one so early!

But on the balance of things I'm still leaning towards not pregnant. Hurry up period and let me know where I am for sure!

Reebok, I hope you found something yummy to eat and something good to watch. It sounds like you've had a fun, crazy day!

I'm ok thanks, been busy today and finally sat down with a lemonade (living on the edge!) I've painted the kitchen, scrubbed the doorframes and floor and done the food shopping. I'm sure I nearly scrubbed off my fingerprints lol! It has taken my mind of testing day though, which is good.

By the way, that was meant to be fab thread!

Welcome adventure! This is a fan thread. Very laid back! I'm so sorry for your loss. I also mc over 4 weeks ago and had my first mc 3 years ago so I know how you feel. I'm also on the Ttc after mc thread. I took a very laid back approach too as we decided to Ttc straight away but with a 'whatever happens happens' approach...no charting, opks or whatever they are called etc. Hope you will find this thread useful.

Thanks guys. Trying to forget about it really and just take each day as it comes. Spent the day with some of my oldest friends. Was wonderful aside from our kids all running around under our feet!

Cake that cake looks amazing!! Enjoy!! Making my mouth water!

Dubai, Tamara...hope you're ok? Glad swimming went well.

Millie, enjoy a big fat glass while you can!!!

LO is asleep and I'm exhausted. I think it's dinner and Netflix for me tonight! Now if only I could figure out what to eat. This ear infection really took away my appetite! Enjoy your evening ladies!

Aww Adventuregame, he sounds like a keeper! From the sound of it you'll fit in really well here, you've got a lovely relaxed attitude to it all

Glad DS enjoyed his swimming lesson Dubai!

Sounds like you deserve that glass of wine Millie! Enjoy!

So I've been on the actual website (as opposed to the app) to look at Reebok's and Cake's photos.

Reebok - that's a pretty clear line, so I think congratulations are in order! I hope everything goes well for you and that you're feeling better soon.

Cake - that cake looks amazing! Hope you enjoy eating it

Had a busy day at work today so going to get DS to bed and them make dinner and relax with a glass of wine I think. Two more days til the weekend, yay.

Hello to the newer ones than me

Hi Tamara

I know DP does want a baby but he's never pressured me. We are very 'what will be, will be' as a couple which is nice and during the mc he kept saying to me that if it was just the 2 of us that's enough and I love him for that !

Wow Cake, that look amazing!! Did you make it yourself?

Welcome Adventuregame! Sorry to hear about your mc.
Don't worry about feeling pressured here, we do seem a little crazy sometimes but the ladies here are so welcoming and supportive!
It sounds like you have a lot of emotions whizzing around. How does your OH feel about it all? TTC is a very personal thing and you shouldn't feel as though you should be 'trying harder' just because others are. You should only do what makes you comfortable.
Do you think you're unsure because of the worry of another mc?

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Hi, I'd like to join if that's ok. I had a miscarriage in March and haven't really felt like trying again until maybe now. I have been on the TTC after MC thread but it sometimes makes me feel guilty that I'm not trying as hard as the others and I'm not totally devastated when AF arrives so hoping this more relaxed thread might be a safer place for me ?

Quick history - The mc was my first pg and we weren't really trying, just not being careful !! I went into major panic after bfp not really knowing if I definitely wanted a baby for many reasons that I won't go on about again. Took me the whole 12 weeks to get my head round it and start to be excited and then just before the scan I started bleeding and found no heartbeat since 9 weeks. At the time I was devastated and all I wanted was to be pg again proving to me that I did really want a baby. Now, 5 months on I'm back to being practical and level headed wondering if it's the right thing etc ? I'm 38 so if we're going to do this we should get a wriggle on really. So here we are again, no trying too hard but not being careful.

Hope I don't sound too mixed up - just a natural worrier !!!

Good luck to everyone waiting for the bfp !!

Woohoo good luck Millie! And welcome Sasquatch! Wow Reebok that's a definite line. I've got no tests to take pics of yet!! But this is our anniversary cake?!

The line is much clearer today Reebok! Congratulations!

Welcome TheSasquatch! Fingers crossed you'll get your BFP soon

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great MrsZumbaDancer, I hope you feel better soon!

Feeling rotten this cycle so no chance for us.. Sore throat and full of cold

Good luck for this cycle Millie! Here's hoping you get your bfp and everyone else too!

Haha! It took us all a while I think...was convinced it was my internet the provider and then I thought the site was down.

Well it was another light pink line for me today. Going to keep testing throughout the week unless I suddenly start bleeding. These miscarriages have really destroyed my confidence so don't think I will believe it's positive for a while.

Welcome Sasquatch. You have found yourself a wonderful group of supportive women.

Also welcome TheSasquatch, I'm a newbie to this thread too and everyone is very welcoming

Morning everyone!

Reebok - fingers crossed it's a bfp. I'm using the app so can't see photos. Hope you're feeling better soon.

It took me ages to realise that I'd need to reset my password. The app just kept saying it couldn't connect with MN so just thought the site was down. Had to go online as a lurker to see the thread about password reset!

Am pleased to report AF is almost gone so month 8(ish) ttc can begin (cycles have been very long and irregular so although we've been trying since January I'm not sure I've had 8 cycles yet!)

Hello, please can I join?

Very relaxed TTC here. Am 36 and TTC #2. DC1 is three months old.

It took me ages to figure out that it wasn't just me being a div and that I actually needed to reset the password!

Happy anniversary Cake! Hopefully the extra romance will make this the lucky one!

I hope the nausea doesn't get too bad Apple. How many weeks do you think you are? Sorry if you've already said, I've got a terrible memory at the mo.

I hope you feel more energetic soon Dubai!

Thanks guy. Yes Apple I'm 4 days late or so and have had 3 faint lines today. I do feel the same way I felt with LO. That was an awful pregnancy as I had hyperemesis early on so was sick as a dog. Feel quite sickly now but that could be ear infection...I'm not sure.

Apple if nausea gets really bad get doc to put you on Meds. They are safe. I was on drugs throughout my pregnancy with LO.

Ooh happy anniversary cake! And good luck! Baby dust to us all!

Ugh password reset was annoying!! Took me 4 goes!! Hope TTC is easier!! AF officially left the building do its back on the DTD tomorrow and it's outer anniversary so I've got a good feeling for it .
Fingers crossed for you Reebok!

Reebok do I read right, you might be late? & will keep fx for your next test..

How many weeks do you think you are Dubai? Also feeling more tired than usual and have low level nausea throughout the day... Fully expecting it to ramp up though. Been to docs & he said he will refer me to the mw.

Good luck Mrs Hughes hope AF doesn't show up late this week.

For all those entering into a new cycle may this be your month.

Not going to docs yet....convinced it will be another early mc. Would rather wait a week or two and then try get referred to epau as they said they would see me again for reassurance once I was pregnant again. Evaporation line is basically a line that comes up once urine dries up... No colour to it. But usually comes up after time limit of test.

Glad you're ok Dubai. Low energy levels in first tri are normal although could be low iron or vitamin d? Had that problem with LO. Once bloods are checked you will know. Rest up!

Oh I thought there was something wrong with my account!!
