First time TTC - thread 2

Oh cinnamon I honestly am so happy for you! It gives me hope that it can happen again so quickly! I was only shocked by the baby bomb yesterday because it's someone I (thought I) was close with so it was a shock. Fx for your your sticky bean and keep us updated! When are you going to call the docs? I bet you're over the moon!

Thanks for the new thread pj!

russkispy I'd be very wary of taking aspirin personally, it's been linked to increase chance of miscarriage so I'd be a bit dubious before taking it and weigh up the risks and what pros are there? Good luck for your ici though if you do go ahead keep us updated! I have no clue about what that involves. Fx for you that you get a BFP soon though so doesn't come to that.

Oooh congratulations cinnamon I'm really happy for you! Fingers and toes crossed

Ooooooo congrats cinnamon!! Really hope it's a sticky bean please keep us posted!!

I was getting nervous about the thread running out so have created a new one! It's over here: First time TTC - thread 3

Hi ladies, haven't been here for a while as it wasn't anything worth reporting.
Cycle #4 - Another BFN. Keep seeing my acupuncturist twice a month. She recommended to add Aspirin 75mg to my never ending collection of vitamins/pills list.

So, today is CD10 and of cycle #5. Still sticking to SMEP plan and started using Conceive Plus lubricant.

And thinking of plan B, C and so on.

I'm thinking for next cycle to go for IUI. I'll already made preparations for it. And if this cycle doesn't work then I'll be flying home to get it done. It's in Riga. The actual insemination is only €285! My DH's sperm is already in their freezer. I'll probably need a couple of examinations prior to the actual procedure. But the whole lot won't cost more than €500-600!
And if I'd go for London clinic, I was told it would be around £1500-2000! Insane! Even with the flights it would cost much less to get it done there! Plus they know me there and I could see my dad and brother.

So, we'll see what this cycle brings.

We need a new thread!!!! Almost full!

Also - still spotting lightly on and off. Thought AF was actually going to make a show but nothing still

eva thanks 😆👌🏻 that's exactly what my DP keepsake willing me, but I think he's biased as he wants us to get the house . We should hear back on that today so fingers crossed there too!!
At least if it does it'l take my mind off things for a while

difficult I've heard about £3k, first go on the NHS is free if you fit their criteria. But it's not going to come to that

eva I'm 31 soon. How much is private IVF anyway?! 😝

Thank you Eva and moonlight, well done moonlight, it's hard when it's to a schedule isn't it.

Thanks guys. Feeling a bit more rational today.... I'm annoyed at myself for not dtd last night now as we were doing well on the every other day front and had the ewcm yesterday but just wasn't in the mood after the baby bomb. Managed to get a cheeky one in this morning though so hopefully havnt missed too much. Will make it difficult to judge cm today though (tmi!)

Good news pie! And sorry for bfn givingitago but still very early!

giving sorry for the bfn
difficult house deposit money for Ivf instead, woah that's a big move. But where would you live?! You'd still have to rent right? could you buy house and still save? How old are you again? I'd say it's definitely worth stocking up on opks and doing them every day til you get + and then you'll know where you're at. And yes remember the 25% chance figure. You're doing so well to DTD every other day minimum, I couldn't do that, I'd need a holiday every month!!
moonlight oh I'm sorry, must've been hard with it being around what would have been your due date. I know that baby bomb feeling and it's horrible. My stomach flips when someone tells me, like I'm overcome with jealousy pangs, takes me a couple of days to get over it and then I feel guilty Our time will come
pjs haha yes it was too hot for any DTD yesterday here too. I like dpo2-6 and feel relaxed and like job done, I find after about day 6 is when I get impatient!

Thanks pajamas, AF still a few days away so trying not to get too down.

Still early givingitago - don't count yourself out just yet!

It is SO HOT in our bedroom. And not in a good way. Thank crap we don't have to dtd tonight!

Bfn 4 days before AF is due, know it's early but think I'm out for this month. Silly for testing early. DP hasn't taken it well.

Oh mojitos I'm sorry, seeing painful/sensitive bits of your life mirrored in others can be so very difficult.

I'm spotting this eve, 10dpo, cd31. Last month was 28 day cycle... So at least I seem to avoiding super long post pill cycles! Hoping by tomorrow my boobs will be less sore 😀

Thanks pj I really didn't think I'd react this badly I just had no idea they were even trying, last time I saw her babies came up and she said they wanted to go on few holidays and stuff first. I don't expect her to tell me they were trying if she didn't want to and for all I know it could have taken ages it was just a shock. And to be due same week I would have been. I burst in to tears, told dp and stormed off and then he was sheding a few tears when I calmed down and came back downstairs... what a palava! Dtd is last thing on my mind tonight now but we have to really after the ewcm!

Oh boo mojitos - sorry about the baby bomb But yes, at least you can process it in your own time instead of having to react instantly face to face. Lots of and maybe a for you.

Someone I know just announced she's pregnant on Facebook... 12 week scan today :'( I feel so sad and it was such a shock. So glad she didn't tell me in person!

I think il test again in a few weeks time.

We are DTD ever other day minimum so that's the best we can do.

Last time I didn't show up on HPT as positive at all and had to have blood test so trying not to think about that and get carried away as not too sure it'l be the same this time

Oh pj 😂 don't be jealous... it's not exactly nice lol. I'm jealous of your time off in this beautiful weather when I've been stuck in an office all day!

Sorry you're still in limbo cinnamon :(. I had weird dreams when I got my BFP too, isn't it crazy how all the different hormones do such crazy things to us. You definately could have ovd late so fx for you xx

Sorry for the bfn difficult... hopefully something will happen soon! At least you've had the all clear recently so things should be all in working order. Like cinnamon said the odds are not in our favour but hopefully it doesn't take long for you.
