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

Congratulations marmite !!

Huge congratulations marmite girlie! So happy for you xx

Thanks guys, haha yes Bobo!

Cookie I am not calm AT ALL! I basically sat on the bathroom floor freaking out thinking 'oh fuck' for 15 minutes after I got that Frer second line. I know it sounds silly but I just didn't expect anything to happen yet, it's only cycle 3!
Sounds like an erm, interesting, scan experience Cookie!

So glad to hear all going well with your pregnancy chapman, you'd not long got your bfp when I first started reading this thread!

Fx that the bfps come in flurries now!

So lovely to hear from you chapman! So happy to see your having a beautiful little girl. How lovely. This thread is brilliant for keeping us all in check. Hopefully marmite has started the BFP's rolling in!

Cookie I am glad your scan went okay, hopefully it doesn't feel like too long a wait for your GP appointment!

I know cookie! I've been so busy. Actually fuck that I've been so tired and fat and I've just had a really exhausting pregnancy... Was not in the mood at all! Yes I speak to sunny we sometimes comment on the antenatal thread!
I know tell me about it! They were awful I thought it would never happen! I hope your ok babe.. How are you getting on? Yes me and DH over the moon just so glad baby is healthy and everything is ok! Can't believe how quick it's gone! You best bloody well had and all the rest of you we need more girl power 😍😍 xxxx

Aw Chapman, it is so so lovely to hear from you! I've missed you! Wow, a little girl- amazing news! You and Dh must be over the moon. You were one of the originals that kept me sane over winter too! Have you heard from Sunny? Miss you girls! Hopefully we'll be joining you on the preggo list too & I hope you're having (and continue to have) and lovely pregnancy Mrs xxx

Hi girls.
Hope everything is ok with all of you. I am so sorry I haven't been posting I have been lurking and looking out for you all.
Congrats too all of yous who have the magical second line! And to those still trying it will happen and I wish you all the best luck in the world.
Just thought I'd update to say I'm currently 20 weeks now and we're expecting a little girl 💗💞
I absolutely adored and loved all your help and support when we were trying to conceive on them dark gloomy winter nights when I had come on this group was amazing for cheering me up. You are all beautiful people and one day soon you will make Amazing mams! XXXX

Just checked in- WOW marmite doll!! Amaaaazing lines!! Congrats lovely!! You seem to calm ha! I don't think I'd be able to construct a readable post if/when I ever get a bfp lol! Woop!

Aw my scan went ok Bobo! The woman was quite abrupt though. She like 'right doll- trousers down, lie down, lift top.' Then 'that's you, wipe gel, toilet, leave' I asked if she seen anything and she said 'can't disclose doll, phone your gp and book an appointment when you're home'. So I've booked an appointment for a week on Monday! Not sure if I'm wanting it to show something or not! (At least then I'll feel like I have an explanation as to why I'm in pain/not conceiving!). Haha you do make me laugh!! I swear to bloody god that thought ran through my mind 'oh I wonder if I'll be one of those people who are secretly about to give birth and they'll find a wee hidden bambino in there' sadly not! How's you anyhoos Bobo? Any sign of your ovaries gearing up for action?

How's all my tww'ers feeling? I'm starting my ICs tomorrow probably so much for cold turkey xx

Oh wow!! Congrats marmite!!! xxxx

For you Bobo

Holy fuck, I think that's actually a second line.

Thanks lou! It's lovely to see you all again!

Have I missed any exciting news here anyway while I've been away?

I agree with bobo and would also stay clear of Pregnacare! Didn't have a good experience with it. Maybe try the seven seas trying for a baby ones instead .

The time really does go faster with the cold turkey cycles because your not obsessing everyday what type of 'symptoms' you should be experiencing!

I can definitely see a line marmite. Fx crossed for you xxx

Oooh how exciting marmite!!

Haha bobo I will think about it! I do have 4 of them...

Hi bobo! Thanks! It did look kinda grey in real life... I have a few frers stashed in the bathroom drawer at home so will be cracking one of those out tomorrow morning! I only did IC on a whim as was convinced it would negative and quite early still! I wasn't even properly awake. Is there any point doing one of the frers when I get home tonight do you think?! I'm just not believing it and tomorrow morning seems a very long time away...

Hi all, marmitetoast1 back here with a slightly amended name! Sorry fell off thread for a bit, was trying to chill a bit and not obsess and my cycles are so super long not much to report a lot of the time!

Lots of newbies here now, hi!

How are my old cycle buddies claire, cookies, mishy, jj, bobo? Hope you're doing well highhopes, have been thinking of you

Anyway, I'm currently in 2ww, CD32 of cycle 3. AF not really due til weekend/early next week. I think I'm 12dpo. I did an IC on a whim this morning...very faint line... It appeared after about 2 mins, so within the timeframe, but wondering if it's more an Evap line as it almost looks more like an indent than an actual line?! What do you guys think? I'm seriously doubting myself and feeling a bit mental...

Jjspoon - Yeah it's not something I ever thought I'd wish for- but I didn't want to start TTC again, POAS & Get a + then be disappointed as it might have been left over hormones from the last pregnancy. If you know what I mean?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back, exciting that so many of you are in the TWW !

That's what I've been doing too Sarah, trying not to symptom spot. Obituary apart from what I see last night haha! Oh well, it's probably nothing xx

Haha, Loula, yep making myself wait to test will be key. But I'm determined not to symptom spot this cycle. Will just have to keep myself busy I guess.

Fx your spotting is implantation. x

Thank you for the lovely welcomes. I have been following and can see that this Ttc business is an emotional roller coaster! one which I don't think ends until we have a beautiful baby in our arms and even then I'm sure we will worry and stress. I hope things work out for you all sooner rather than later how long are some of your cycles? Mine being 41 days long feel like they last forever!!! But I used opks last month for the first time and on day 27 had a very clear positive - which I thought would never come. Just so glad to know i am actually ovulating and in with a chance. Fingers crossed for this cycle now. Just a little worried as other half is quite a heavy smoker x

Hello lovely ladies,

Glad we got a few twwers!! Hopefully we should all test around the same time .

Hope you had a lovely holiday Sarah! Good idea not to test unless AF doesn't read her head! Think that's the best way - but that's if you can wait that long .

I've no idea how many DPO I am, but this evening when I went to the loo I noticed a browny discharge in my knickers and also when I wiped!! I thought maybe implantation but I thought that would have been more red? And now I am thinking maybe AF is coming early, but I never spot before AF!! xxx
