Hi Fuzzy. The advice from doctors on conjunctivitis is to clean with cotton wool and cooled boiled water. It will clear up within a few days. My dd has had it a few times. I wouldn't bother with drops unless it doesn't clear after 4 days.

My AF is due today and I have resisted the temptation to test so far. I just hate seeing negatives. I feel like AF is about to show up but I do remember feeling like that with dd until I was a couple of months pregnant. I have zero symptoms but again I was the same with dd at this point. I did get sore boobs etc but it wasn't until I was around 6 weeks pg so you never know. Somehow I keep trying to convince myself that maybe it will be easier this time as maybe my body "remembers" how to get pregnant! That's ludicrous I know!!! Did any of you feel like that?

Xx

Mimilicious013 · 17/02/2016 05:27

fuzzy I would try the pharmacy too hun.hope little one gets better.

abcde u must be stressed. Not knowing is the worst! Fx a bfp just pops up or at least af shows and u can start again!

abcdemma · 17/02/2016 00:42

Oh and fuzzy I'd perhaps try the pharmacy, can't remember if you can get drops over the counter or not x

abcdemma · 17/02/2016 00:40

Hi all! Sorry to hear everyone's feeling a bit low. I can't imagine having to keep trying for so long, especially since DS was a surprise.
AF is now over 2 weeks late, still negative when I poas. Randomly I decided to try an ovulation test at lunchtime because I'm majorly crampy and it was positive! So we DTD tonight hoping to catch it, and hopefully again in the morning cause I'm not sure if/when my surge occurred. Bloody reproductive systems eh?!
pulled that sounds really positive for you, and congratulations too hopelass
Good luck for those stepping up the DTD over the next few days GrinFlowers

FuzzyOwl · 16/02/2016 23:46

Hi everyone and I hope you are all ok. Welcome to the new ladies. Lovely to have you join us and hopefully it won't be for long as we will all have our babies by the end of the year.

Pulled as worried as you are at the moment, that really does sound like good news. Glad you will be lurking and I am continuing to send lots of positive thoughts your way. X

Please can I have some advice - if you had a nine month old with conjunctivitis, would you just wipe the eye with damp cotton wool or would you see the doctor/pharmacist? I don't what to waste my doctor's time but I also don't want my DC to unnecessarily suffer.

Oh gosh, good luck Pulled, really hope everything goes ok over the next two weeks x

f1ddlesticks · 16/02/2016 21:44

Hi ladies! Sorry i fell off the thread for a bit, been so busy have barely had a moment to check in and see how everyone's doing. Will go back and have a read properly, but I hope you're all ok. Think I'm just coming up to ovulation but not even sure if we'll be able to DTD, DP and I have hardly seen each other recently! Might be up being a month off, not sure how I feel about it.

Loki17 · 16/02/2016 18:39

I don't think this month will be the month to be honest. Everything is so different I just can't really feel very positive about it. I'm just hoping for a normal month before ttc properly next month. It's a very strange feeling but ill be ok during this tww because I dare not hope but I feel ok. I really hope the next 2 weeks go quickly Pulled. Flowers

CocklesandMussels · 16/02/2016 17:14

Haha Theants I CANNOT DTD every night until March. I won't be able to walk Hmm!
Pulled that sounds positive , keeping fx for you.
Hello to new people and my CD11 buddies. [waves] to everyone else!

Gx91 · 16/02/2016 16:50

Hey all hope we r feeling better today ? X
Pulled that does sound like good news I'm sure u will see more at ur next scan , hope the early pregnancy anxieties leave u soon X

Peyia , hey nice to hear from u , I feel the same about sharing the love between to kids , I cried at the thought of DD coming to hospital and seeing me in bed with a new baby ! I can picture her looking confused and upset and it breaks my heart X OH says I'm being silly and she will b absolutely fine ! X

Loki wishing u the best of luck for ur TWW ! Try not to worry about the bleeding it could just b hormones , mibi give ur GP a call if ur worried , I know how sick in the head these things make us , fx crossed for u it's a good sign and we can see a BFP soon X
Mimi and kellz , good luck dtd over the next week or so Smile hope the preseed helps kellz and Hope this is ur time Mimi , I understand it's really hard when the months keeps adding up while TTC but it will happen X

Welcome newbies ! Keep us up to date on ur journey ! X

( waves) theants, cockles , fuzzy , fiddles , hope , Jen hope ur all having a nice day X sorry again if Iv missed anyone I really do try !! Lol X

We have had a busy day here , got an application for nursery in ( didn't realise u had to apply so early !)
And went to soft play , I had a gaggle of kids that decided they wanted to follow me and DD wherever we went lol exhausted now , think I will give it a by until next baby arrives , was very hard squeezing through tunnels etc ! X

Peyia · 16/02/2016 15:41

Sorry to read about some of you are feeling low. I think it's to be expected, there is so much one can take on a roller coaster. TTC is just that, hopes, fears and excitement rolled into one. The disappointment must be crushing. Keep going! Make a point of treating yourself if you can.

Mimi I didn't realise you have been trying for 8 months. Sorry to ask, how long did it take with DD? I'm guessing she is potty trained now Smile

G glad you're ok too. Sorry to hear about your accident (both ones) car and Capri sun!!! Nice you had a night of with OH. Mine doesn't celebrate valentines Hmm

Fingers crossed to you all. Sorry I can't remember everyone by name, still using tiny phone!

I'm fine. Although starting to feel overwhelmed with everything. One example is fear of sharing love for my children. Completely irrational! Having to continue work full time etc....life I guess.

We all have to keep our chins up and hold hands Flowers

theAntsareMyFriends · 16/02/2016 15:20

pulled thats sounds like good news. Sorry you feel so bad. Its always such an anxious time anyway without all the added complications.

mimi and Kellz we are also on the DTD daily. Its slightly become more routine than enjoyment but at least it gets the job done. I'm throwing everything at it this month. I'm even lying with raised feet for 5mins after even though I know this is supposed to be pointless!

When are you testing. I'm going to make myself waiting until 8th March. AF will probably have shown up by then so at least I'll save the test and if she hasn't then 8th is International Women's day so feel like its a good day to test.

Loki hope the 2ww flies by. Good luck this month.

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 15:04

That is good news pulled and our prayers are with you that everything goes well (hugs)

Hie kellz crossing everything for u dear.I'm joining u on dtd everyday too(if dh can handle it haha)

Pulledapart2015 · 16/02/2016 14:45

hi all,
thank you so much for keeping me In your thought and sorry I can't reach out at the moment as I'm feeling really crap.

blood work came back good as my hcg levels had doubled so it was a positive. they offered me a further scan today where we saw a gestitational sac and yolk. they saw another sac but think it's just a collection of blood no pregnancy. I've got to return in 2 1/2 weeks time for another scan when he hopes we will see a baby and heartbeat. I just feel so bleurghhhh. I don't know if that is the pregnancy hormones or me being anxious. either way the next few weeks will be hell. Sorry to off load on you guys 😔 sometimes I think maybe I'm just not suppose to be a mum again and should just count my blessings I have one beautiful girl already.

really wish all of you the best for those DTD and going through the tww. really hope it is a smooth journey for you all xxx

I'm gonna lurk in the background if that's ok and not post much.

Kellz92 · 16/02/2016 14:19

Mimi we have dtd CD8, 9, 11 so far. Going to try for daily until i ovulate. Preseed arrived today so want to give that a go!
Got a high on my monitor today, so dunno if i will ov earlier or just having a couple extra high days. Still taking the aspirin too so hoping this helps.
Been thinking of you today. Hope youre well.

Welcome Jem Pink & Sleepy

Good Luck Loki Hope the tww doesnt drag too much!!

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 12:57

Best of luck Loki.glad u are being positive and hope the pain subsides.at least u have ov so on to the dreaded tww !

Loki17 · 16/02/2016 10:49

Hi everyone. Hope you are all ok. I've had my first ovulation post mc. It all seems to have fallen back into the regular pattern. It was very different this cycle though. Lots of ewcm as usual but I also got a strong positive on an opk which I never normally do (despite falling pregnant twice). Yesterday I had a pink bleed which freaked me out and also the worst ovulation pain from both ovaries which I've never had before. Usually I get a dull ache but this pain was really noticeable and prominent. I've no idea what is going on. Really hoping I've not ovulated from my left ovary as it is clubbed so I have a high chance of ectopic. Officially 2 dpo but not holding out hope as the bleeding can't be a good thing. Still, I'm moving forward so that has yo be a positive thing.

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 10:27

Wish I could tell u that it will get better but it only gets worse. I'm on the 8th cycle (imagine)!!best of luck hun but u are in good hands.the ladies on this thread are awesome

Hi-hope it's okay to join. Im also TTC #2. AF due in 2 days with lots of possible symptoms. I've done a number of tests and all have been BFN. Booo! Does anyone have any experiences of testing too early? What was the outcome?

Jem x

pinkbadgerbadger · 16/02/2016 09:48

Hello everyone, can I join?

TTC no 2. Just coming to the end of cycle 1 and AF has shown up. Stupidly disappointed as conceived DD first month of trying.
How does everyone manage their expectations?!

mssleepyhead · 16/02/2016 09:30

Hello,
Hoping to introduce myself and get a bit of support : )
I have a 17 and a bit month old and we've been trying for number 2 for 4 months now. Last month I had a chemical pregnancy and apparently my body is still recovering from it so this month's cycle is all messed up too. I wasn't really prepared for that to happen so feeling a bit crap and upset by the whole thing.
Like everyone else, I just want to give my DS a sibling, and am disappointed every month! I know it hasn't been that long really, but we had it pretty easy with DS and I've never really been in this position before. Plus with the age gap growing every month, it feels like the pressure's on!
Anyway, that's me. Good luck to you all!
