jennie - we are twins. 8th March is my birthday too. Not really looking forward to it as AF will arrive just before and then I'll be down all day. I thought about taking leave from work and doing something nice but work will probably take my mind off things so I'm going to miserable at work instead! Good luck this month.

I agree with everyone who says its such a mixed emotion when you find out someone else is pregnant. Pleased for them and jealous at the same time.

kellz, cockles, mimi hope DTD is going OK. I'm not doing OPKs or any kind of testing this month which I'm slightly regretting but think I OV today. I've defiantly descended into madness and occasionally say some encouraging and motivational words to DPs sperm. You never know, if they hear me they might put more effort into their swimming!

Sorry super I can imagine how hard it is for u , it was me before Christmas , don't feel bad about it , times is slower while TTC so ur going to have these feelings and your not alone . I really hope u get lucky soon Smile u will great great support here X
Jen that's good news about ur mil hope she continues to get better X
Will remember 8 th match to wish u a happy birthday ! I'm the 15 th March lol X
Songs good luck in ur first cycle of trying , think it's impossible not to become obsessive ( I still miss POAS , became my life for a while )
Fiddles , I didn t know u had type 1 diabetes , my big sister was diagnosed last year and is gutted as she thinks they won't allow her to get pregnant , think she's found it hard coming to terms with . Sorry me asking but was it as hard as u imagined and is insulin etc easy enough to monitor and control ( would love to share ur success story with her and give her some hope !) X
Mimi how r u ? What stage in the cycle r u at ? How u been feeling ? X
Kellz hope ur doing well and good luck with getting some sex into ur schedule lol X
Abc, where r u in ur cycle ? X
Fuzzy how r u ? Can't remember if ur in ur TWW ? Fx for the coming weeks X

Lost my post when I hit the wrong button. Just wishing everyone a good morning and a pleasant day!!

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 22:57

Song when I got pregnant with DD I put my scan pics on Fb, but I didn't really think of how difficult it was at the time as DD was a surprise. I dint post much though, just the odd scan I have people who mention they're pregnant daily....

Fx for you Jennie

Xxx

Superbabywright · 17/02/2016 22:43

Thanks everyone. I know i'm luckier than some and I truly am grateful for my DD. I suppose in a way it makes me feel like even more of a bad person for complaining. I guess I just took it harder than I thought I would. I'm having a mope tonight and hopefully get it out of my system to be able to get back to myself tomorrow. I might try sitting in her chair ☺

Thinking of bfp's for us all soon enough xx

jennielm · 17/02/2016 22:35

So, a 3rd person in my office has announced she's pegnant - that's 3 out of 7 females of child bearing age pregnant in my department; 18, 17 & 13 weeks consecutively!! Really happy for them, but seriously, bumps everywhere and bump envy is seriously crushing me.

I'm now 5dpo and couldn't help but test due to symptoms - nausea, sore boobs, peeing loads and back ache - but bfn for now. Feeling really low and isolated but mean for feeling this way. According to Ovia we did everything right and AF is due 23rd so realistically didn't expect anything but bfn - I'm always praying for the miracle though. Maybe test with frer on Friday.

MIL is now out of hospital having had a intra-cranial heamatoma rather than a "stroke". Still got to take it easy, actually has cluster of tiny tumours, so needs them kept an eye on.

I'm sorry that i can't list you all by name but mimi i hope your SIL is ok?

Pulled, that sounds really positive (although i didn't know bump started as a yolk!!)

For everyone who is struggling my heart goes out to you and i hope that this month is kind to you. Someone said about testing on 8th March...my birthday and 8 is my lucky number; still happy to share!! Grin

Welcome to all the newbies, may your journey get smoother.

Happy hump day everyone.xx

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 22:34

Not selfish at all super. I think we all feel like that sometimes. I am a bit fed up of baby scan pictures on fb. I personally wouldn't do that anyway but it also makes me think if I feel like this and I have my lovely dd, how must their friends that can't have kids / have lost kids / haven't met the right person feel. Anyway, just my personal gripe but this whole TTC thing takes over your soul doesn't it. Although this is only cycle 1 for us, I've been desperate to start trying for 12 months but lots of good reasons have prevented that. I promised myself I wouldn't turn obsessive this time but I think I have already!!!!

Sleep well all x

Loki17 · 17/02/2016 22:06

I think you are allowed to feel a bit gutted when you want something so desperately. After going through a mc I have found seeing pregnant bumps a bit heart wrenching, even though I'm pleased for those who are pregnant and wouldn't wish mc on my worst enemy. I'm getting the post ovulation achy boobs. Quite a normal symptom for me so I'm not reading anything in to it. Had a lovely day out with hubby and dd in London today so counting my blessings.

f1ddlesticks · 17/02/2016 21:54

Tough isn't it Super? I'm pretty laid back about it at the moment, but each announcement or new baby that comes along makes me think 'shit that should be me'.

I'm so grateful to have my DD though, when I wasn't even sure I'd be able to have a healthy pregnancy at all (T1 diabetic) - it helps me keep things in perspective I guess.

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 21:53

Super you're not being selfish, I keep seeing girls I know get pregnant and have babies, as much as I'm happy for them I'm still annoyed it's not me! Xx

abcdemma · 17/02/2016 21:05

super it's not selfish at all. We've only been trying for 1 cycle (wanted to ttc since last July but long story) and every announcement hurts so I can't imagine how you just be feeling. Fingers crossed it shouldn't be much longer for you x

Superbabywright · 17/02/2016 20:31

Hi, i'm new. We have been TTC number 2 since January 2015. After a rough year we are still trying and it just seems to get so much worse each time AF comes to visit. One of my close friends fell pregnant straight away and had her beautiful son in August but today I found out another friend is also pregnant. I am really happy for her but, bugger me, it hurts. I'm really struggling and thought i'd look for a bit of support from people who are going through similar.
I guess i'm being utterly selfish but i'm gutted. What a cow I am...

FuzzyOwl · 17/02/2016 11:33

Oh Song Flowers. Even though I know better, I always test as well. Hopefully it is just too early for you but if not, fingers crossed you get there next cycle.

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 11:27

I will deffs be DTD tomorrow monring, going to try every day until i afew days after my peak!

TTC is expensive, i just bough preseed, paid extra postage so it arrived on time. Its tiny for the amount i paid haha. Was £34 for sticks for my monitor, that lasts just over 2 cycles. Luckily each box comes with 4 pregnancy ones, and i have 4 left from last few boxes. I also have 1 frer left, bought a pack of 2 last cycle when i stupidly thought i was pregs.

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 11:24

A bpn of course! I'm a muppet for thinking that anything could be so easy for me. It never is!!!

Good luck to the rest of you fx

FuzzyOwl · 17/02/2016 11:18

Thanks Mimi and I am focusing on next cycle now. Will make sure I stock up on Chinese herbs, Clearblue OPKs, evening primrose oil and pregnacare. Ttc is expensive! I am currently 4dpo so in the boring part. How are things with you? X

Songs I would try and hold on for as long as you can so it isn't too diluted but the last time I was pregnant I got a real squinter with an IC (FMU) and then a clear line on a frer and confirmation on a digital about four hours later. Fx for you.

Thanks Kellz. Really hope you get to DTD tomorrow morning and it is all in time for your peak. X

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 10:47

Thanks gx Going to try it tomorrow, Slept in this morning as DD had been unsettled until early hours after getting her hep a injections for holidays.

Fuzzy Id trake DC to see the pharmacist.

Mimi We didnt DTD this am, i slept in and DH didnt want to waken me up because DD had been unsettled, (him working nights is rubbish as i need to get up early to do it in the morning!)

Im feeling really fed up today. I have a horrendous headache, which i get close to ov, but when you work at a computer its a killer! High on the monitor yesterday must of been in my dream the night before as it was low when i got in, and low this am, which is normal for me, i normally go from low to peak then high then low :) Had another dream i was pregnant last night. not going to lie, i normally dont remember dreams, so id prefer to to remember these as i wouldnt feel so gutted!

But oh well, hopefully ttc will be over for us all soon

xx

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 09:45

I caved in and bought a £shop test on the way to work. If I test at work, clearly it won't be fmu. Do any of you know how much that matters?

Hope you catch your ovulstion abc (or better still, you are pg)! Fx

Mimilicious013 · 17/02/2016 08:42

Thanx fuzzy .how are you dear and were are you now in your cycle? Hope it's a kind month to u fxfx

FuzzyOwl · 17/02/2016 08:10

Thanks for the advice abc, Mimi and Songs.

Being pregnant does cause positive OPKs abc so might be worth checking in a couple of days and seeing if still positive then. Fingers crossed for you.

I hate negatives as well Song and I seem to convince myself that it is just too early to test and inevitably AF shows up later on. I felt like AF was immintent before when pregnant and exactly as you describe with no symptoms, so hopefully you will get a positive soon.

Thinking of your SIL Mimi. I hope she is ok.
