Thread 4: Ttc without ease, loopy length cycles, post pill poas and everything in between!

Hi everyone, so much going on around here!

I'm very happy for all, with a little bit a waiting for some, it looks like it's going into the right direction

I don't think this is the best thread for me though, as I am nowhere near ov and poas tests sadly.. I found another one with ladies closer to my situation (referrals, fertility treatment, IVF...) so will be moving there.

Best of luck everyone! xx

Sarah and marmite, how nice that your appointments are close together, you can compare notes! ...and let the rest of us read them of course! Exciting times!

I'm excited for people to test, who's next?! X

That's good marmite glad you're all booked in. Fx for both of you that the sickness doesn't get too bad, hopefully you'll just have that bit of nausea and no worse :). When will you tell work? Is there no one you feel you could tell and trust them to keep it to themselves?

Oh, just saw your message about getting booked in too, marmite, that's great news. That other woman clearly doesn't know how to do her job properly. Your appointment's the day after mine so we can compare notes, haha!

I work freelance so luckily I don't have to explain myself to anyone, but I want DH to come to the appointment with me so we've just agreed that he should just tell work what's happening and ask them to be discrete for now. His bosses are super supportive, though, so it should all be good. He'll just need to show them a copy of my appointment letter when I get it to prove there's a real appointment. There seems to be a huge difference between how men and women get treated when they deliver this news at work!

I'm dreading full blown sickness, marmite!

I'm similar to you at the moment, drinking a lot, peeing a lot and then alternating between nausea and hunger. I'm also quite bloated, a bit like AF bloating but a bit more and my boobs are going massive. Will need to go bra shopping next week if they keep this up! x

And in terms of how I'm feeling moonlight mainly exhausted, really thirsty, needing to pee constantly (like 3x in the night ) slightly nauseous some days but starving others, and sore boobs and lower back! I'm about 6 weeks now which means the real sickness could start any moment which I'm quite scared about!

A really lovely lady from the hospital just rang me back - said they would want to get me booked in as soon as possible, especially with it being my first. So not really sure why the woman on Monday said it was too early to be ringing them! she asked me a few questions and have got booking-in appointment on 6th September, which isn't too far away really! I'll get my first scan appointment booked in following that apparently. Now I just need to figure out what to tell work!

I feel better now i've spoken to someone and 'on the system'. Although it's also made it even more terrifying as more real!!

That's a good strong positive opk shoney!

Thanks moonlight, I just rang up now (their office hours are 7-4) no one answered but their was a voicemail saying either leave a message and they will ring you back or to email your details. So I've just emailed them - hopefully I will get a response!! Think I need to feel like something is actually happening in order to process that this is real!

Good luck to the tww-ers! Try to hold out testing as long as possible I say as this next stage if you get BFP is soooooo sllloooowwww

Thanks everyone Luci my obsession started pre coming off the pill too! I'm CD2 of cycle 3 but my cycles are a bit all over the place.

Desperately resisting the urge to buy opks as DH starting a course soon which means he'll be away during the week for a few months... And can totally see myself getting stressed out dropping everything and driving out to see him just to DTD every time it was positive so for now don't think it would do my head any good!

This thread is moving so fast at the moment!

marmite hope you get through to someone more helpful and get booked in. How are you feeling now? Many symptoms kicking in?

Looking good shoney! Hope you get some bd in!

Fx for you in 2ww johno 😊

Cd8 for me so suppose I better start getting on with dtd... Dp on nights tonight so having a nice chill out before it starts again lol.

Well done shoney!!! Get going girl!

Get to it shoney.

Hi Mrs C welcome to the ttc jungle. I'm also 30 and ttc #1. There's no judging here just poas addicts lovely people to reassure you or in bobo's case, egg you on (excuse the pun!).

Ekkkk I think we have got our positive, thank god, thought I was going mad

Haaaa! Mrs C I have spent the past 3 months on google and reading thread after thread. Only came off the pill 3 weeks ago tho! Lol. My obsession started way before we even decided to ttc!!

Welcome 😊

Hi everyone, can I jump in?

I'm 30 and TTC#1, still getting my head round things but would love somewhere to obsess about things with people who get it..!

Think if my DH knew the extent of my Googling he would be a touch worried

Oh Bobo we've almost synced! I'm hoping I ov when I think I did. My longest LP is 15 so day 38 or thereafter should be good to test. I'm not down or feeing negative, but I don't know if I'll ever believe the BFP when it comes!

I had another no show ov test this evening. I'm not going to bother doing any more I'm just wasting them!

What if that faint line I had on Tuesday was the surge on its way down and I missed it! 😳

Literally can drive yourself in sane trying to guess everything!

Hey shoney opk looks like it's on it's way
.
seven my longest cycle so far has been 47 days but there are poor girls on here who's cycles have been much longer. Agree with Bobo about testing if you think you're over 10 dpo.

I'm on cd28. Think I ov about day 23, but can't be sure with this cold turkey cycle. It's the latest I've had ov symptoms. No Preggo symptoms really, just a few boob aches and a few cramps.

Think I'm going to wait to test until cd40 just to be sure. That will be Aprox 17dpo. Although I'm going away for the bank holiday weekend so may cave and do one on the Friday so I know what to do about drink etc.

To be honest I've been drinking as I normally do. I've got 9 months + to not, and dry January was hard enough!!!

Evening, well today i have had a morning of very sore boobs, some mild cramps and more egg white mucus. I took a test at lunch time and although still negative I'm sure it is getting darker. Will hold off water/toilet visit for a couple of hours and do it again later see what comes up. Will be DTD later for sure. Ive attached the test to this post

Hopefully! I think I just need to be patient and wait for my first af. Then I can start tracking things properly I guess.

Oh really... Opks have no line whatsoever now though, not even a faint one! Who knows!!

I've had pinky cm again today... Second day of it today. No idea what that means... Still had negative ov tests, will do one tonight when I get home from work.

Oh the joys of not having a clue what's going on, don't you just love it! 👌🏻
