Thread : Lucky Number 13 take 2. TTC#1 The one where AF can kiss our arse!

Congratulations lyssie

I often wonder how it must feel to be one of those mums who don't know they're pregnant until they give birth. I feel as though my body is so hyper sensitive now I'm ttc.

snow snap! I don't think we did it enough either, just twice in my egg whiteness :(

I know how you feel Confused, and this is only my third cycle I dread to think how I'll be feeling in the next few months waiting on that elusive BFP.

At least I'm at a point in my life where my friends are pretty well finished having children. I had a great niece last year, so the next generation are already starting in my family.. I'm only 34, and I know in the grand scheme of things it's not that old, but I feel so past it already, and I've only just started TTC! It's a really difficult thing to talk to friends and family about, as they've mostly been there so long ago

The beginning was about September I think.

I've been here since nearly the beginning I think? December maybe. It's amazing seeing so many grads but demoralizing thinking it looks like I'm one of the stats who can't or won't get pregnant. I've got the nearly 7dpo Blues. Have had low level cramps for 3 days and I'm just plain exhausted. We didn't dtd enough and I'm stressed over it just never happening. 😜😕

I just feel like in a few months I'll be rattling around in this thread on my own :p I'm probably just still in the af wallow phase, hopefully I'll snap out of it soon!

Ni yes I seem to catch every cold, I wish you could catch a pregnancy too

Lyssie I knew you were preggers!! Congratulations!!

Confused I had a time when I had to step away too. You do whatever you need to. If you need support we'll still be here (for ever it seems!!!!!)

Ever I agree...the 1cycle upduffedness is hard. Wish pregnancy was like an infectious epidemic! 😷

confused completely understand that feeling. You're only a few days behind me (I'm cd8 of cycle 5), I've been here since the beginning (along with a few others!) and I get that feeling of being left behind. If you feel you need to take a break if it helps that's fine, just know we are all here when/if you want to come back. Hugs.

Am finally now at the spotting stage at the end of my period. 8 bloody days. Normally only have about 4.

Lyssie congratulations! Need to see a pic!

ipatches I agree, I am happy for those on here who got their bfp, however in real life, especially if I'm not really a friend, I find it much more difficult. I feel horrid because for all I know, maybe they struggled too.

Confused take a break if you need too . I might do the same maybe. It is a bit hard, I understand.
I particularly have struggled in the past with all the people up the duff on their first cycle. That ain't easy.

I have taken a break from temping and that is helping.
Also focussing on getting my driving license and other little projects to take some of the pressure from TTC Hugs

I won't retest till tomorrow a.m. But here is my snap from this morning! It was more visible in person, but my lovely husband took the trash out so I can't fish it out, haha!

Way to go Lyssie!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

confused we will be here for you when you want to come back :)

From my side - I started TTC in June last year... every BFP has been a joy to hear about but also a shadow, a doubt that perhaps I would never get lucky. Being on this thread (sorry guys I am a bit of a thread junkie, so am on a number of other ones too) has really helped me - but I can understand that it can all get a bit much.

Jem - and fx for you. We want this so much.

Fishy - we know what each other on here are going through so it's easy to be delighted when someone who you know has worried, plotted, tested etc. gets their BFP - it's also very exciting . It's harder outside of here because you don't see the ups and downs and most of us aren't telling our "real life" friends about TTC. I'm delighted for my friends who have recently become pregnant or had a child but I'm also, silently of course, incredibly jealous. Since we haven't told them that we are TTC it's like having a big secret!

Ah yes my next test date is 22 April please kat. That feels aaaaaaaages away! :(

Confused I inboxed u xx

I'm channelling lilt, Bob Marley and life in the Maldives this month. I'm being so chilled I'm barely remembering my folic acid but hey ho.

I have no idea how many dpo I am, ovia says April 5th is when I'm due. You need that info Kat?

Congrats lyssie! Wonderful news.

Hugs confused take a break if you need to xx

ipatches "desperately hopeful" pretty much sums me up too. Fingers crossed for you xx

Congratulations Lyssie!

Is it just me, or are other people really happy when one of us gets pregnant but end up feeling really sorry for yourself when it's someone we know outside of here??

Confused - take a break if you need to, but you will get there, and have been a huge support to everyone on this thread. (Selfishly, you're only a couple of weeks ahead of me, so don't leave me behind!)

confused
30, Ttc 1, cycle 5

Cd 4.

Im actually considering taking a mumsnet break, somehow it's making me feel quite left behind. Our grads list is incredible and I am happy for each and every one of them but I think it's making me feel more shitty about the whole thing.

Anyway my plan for this month is just carry on dtd as much as possible, opks, eating ad healthily as possible and trying to be less stressed.

And congrats lyssie xxxxxxxx

Lyssie - congratulations

I'm late to this one but...
TTC#1 Cycle 4ish (not exactly sure)
CD 17ish (...not exactly sure!), had positive OPK on Sunday so guessing 5dpo. No symptoms. Desperately hopeful but not feeling it this month. Not really sure when AF is due but I think we were going with April 8 or 9.

Congratulations!!!!!!

congrats Lyssie

Ooh, congratulations Lyssie!!

yey !!!!
