Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....

Lovechild symptoms - sore boobs after ovulation which is normal before af but they settled down a bit instead of getting worse.
Lots of CM.
The most obvious was constant nausea which lasts all day since ovulation and very light headed! Which is worrying because I had hyperemesis with my previous pregnancy
Stitch like paid but I've had it at both sides of my pelvis and in the middle!!
No implantation bleeding or spotting at all and I had quite a lot last time.
Random headaches
EXTREME hunger AND thirst!!

It's funny that a few of you have mentioned Pregnacare - I took it and it shortened my cycle from 35+ days to a random 28.

I am now taking the Boots conception support tablets.

I don't know if it's linked but I haven't had a cold or virus all winter so am wondering if the vitamins are doing my immune system some good or if it is down the the fact that last year - DS's first at nursery - I caught all the bugs going and am having a year off!

Funny you should mention Pregnacare as we've just started taking it this month..I'll see how it goes!
My plan is to give TTC a good year and if no joy then will go to GP to see if they can check all is okay. I feel better about it having a bit of a plan and also feel very lucky to already have DS1 so if DC2 isn't meant to be then I consider myself very lucky anyway.

Thank you something, that's good to know. I was really worried because pre-pill back in my late teens, af was all over the place, heavy, lasted 7-8 days and completely irregular cycles! Went on mini pill followed by implant (worst 3 years ever... had 3 periods a month! One big and 2 little!) fought with docs the whole 3 years to get it out of me, they didn't want to take it out! After they did, I went on microgynon (which changed name to rigividon couple of years ago) and never looked back, heard awful reports of strokes and clots and god knows what else but it was amazing for me, 3-4 days light periods clockwork every month. And since I've been off it, although a LOT more painful and symptommy, still fairly regular. I had one long cycle 38 days but I'd taken pregnacare conception that month and apparently that plays havoc with cycles! I didn't realise til too late. But seems to have settled back to 28-31 days. I just wish the symptoms were the same every month but just keep getting new ones lol. And would be nice if it could stay the same number of days for at least 2 months running lol x

The testing addiction is something I didn't expect with ttc. Did a stupid amount the second month we tried, only one last month and I did one two days ago in a moment of madness. Thinking of doing one tomorrow morning... I'm justifying it because I need to know if I'm okay to have a bottle of wine with my friends in the evening or not hahaha.

Congrats to all with BFP's!!

Fingers crossed Holly, please let us know how the next couple of days go!

Misty - I just wanted to comment on coming off the pill as I've been off since around July last year and every month has been different. I still don't feel that my cycles are back on track although I think slowly getting there with each month that has passed.

I was on a different pill before we conceived DS1 and it only took until the second month to fall pregnant. Since being pregnant, I went back onto the pill about 6 weeks after the birth and DS is now 2.5 yrs old and it's all taking longer to go back to normal this time. I'm frustrated with how long it's taking but if I think about what my body's been through it's no surprise it doesn't just all click back into place just like that straight away.

CD26 today, last cycle was 29 days, so based on that, I'll probably test on Tuesday if af hasn't arrived already.

Feeling like you Holly, and feeling absolutely nothing whatsoever!

Congratulations carmen wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy!

Congrats Carmen! 😊

So af due tomorrow. I have ZERO symptoms. No af symptoms, no pg symptoms, nada! My chart looks nice though so fx!

I caved and tested this morning. Thought I could see something. Left it then went back half hour later and there's a very faint line. Could be an evap though so now I'm even more confuddled!

Hello everyone!

Congrats to those with Bfps, what a way to kick start the month

I'm still here checking in every few days.. Not much happening with me really so not much to update on! Bleeding finished about 3 days ago and not a drop since but feeling like my body is already gearing upto somthing.. Going by previous cycles I'm not due to ov for a couple of weeks at least (long 37-40 day cycles) but with having that chemical last month maybe things will be different?! Who knows!b I'm cd 10 as it stands.

Anyway fx for everyone already in the tww! Will check back again in a few days!

Much love ladies xxx

I'm not having any tests in the house this time, I'll buy one when I'm late :)

Hey ladies - sneaking in here. AF due either today, tomorrow or Sunday. Nothing so far today. Usually I'm 27 days but last month suprised me with only 25 so i'm prepared this time (Rip my lovely knickers). No symptoms this month so not overly hopeful. Would be nice though as we recently had a loss in the family, we all need a bit of good news. Fx for everyone here!

I hate having FRERs in the house as if I do an IC I then think it's just not sensitive enough and end up using the FRER
I've actually had no symptoms of anything this week where as the last few months I've definitely convinced myself I was pregnant by this time haha.

I'm off today and loose woman are away to talk about trying for a baby so I'm going to hide under my fluffy blanket ready for tears haha!

Well done charley very restrained.Haha! I have 6 IC pg tests, a frer and 2 CB digitals in the cupboard. Have to hold up hands and admit to poas this morning after feeling nausea, looks pretty white! Not buying any more for this cycle therefore must control the poas urge until at least 9dpo then will 'allow' one per day until AF comes and stops me wasting money. Reserving the digitals until there is at least something to see on a cheaper one! It's so crazy I know but I just wanna know. Healthy Feb sounds great unfortunately mine will be twarted by two hen dos and a 30th bday party. Was pretty good in Jan though!

I'll jump on pony thanks!! How are you feeling?

Love yeh it's crazy how consuming it is and how crazy it's making me I'm actually quite chilled this month. Haven't even touch a cheap pee stick or bought any FRER yet. Which is actually quite good for me at 7dpo haha!

Congrats Carmen! I have my fingers crossed this is it for you!

7dpo for me too Charley! If you are wanting support with your healthier Feb, join the thread in here called 'Getting ready for baby challenge' as that's what we are all doing

😂 haha charley this ttc is tough! Great work on the plan for a healthy February, fingers crossed you'll have another reason to keep you motivated (BFP).

Sorry misty! Lovely to see you are keeping positive though.

Congratulations carmen hope you have a lovely pregnancy.

Love I could have written your post haha. 7dpo have nausea, slight headache and some cramps. Although more likely the cocktails at the spa yesterday

That was my last day out and now nothing planned all of February so I'm going to eat healthy, stay off the booze and lose some weight!

Sorry for AF misty it would be lovely if next month it happened for you then you'll get a lovely birthday present. I am also 32 turning 33 in November and came of pill in sept so very much understand how you are feeling!

Wow carmen congratulations that is great news. Remind us your symptoms again?

Good luck motherhippy sounds like FW is here for you, hope you can dtd and lovely egg pops out right at right moment to meet a nice sperm.

I'm 7DPO no sore boobs, lots of indigestion and feel generally rubbish. Could easily convince myself theses are 'symptoms' but actually, it's because i ran out of omeprazole and had a glass of wine last night and I've got a raging cold and sore throat!

At least it's Friday and I'm not working this weekend woohoo!

Thanks. Hoping it sticks! Only got implant removed on 08/12

Thanks all. Love the support on here
The massacre down below is continuing lol uncomfortable but I'm going to stock up on opks tonight (gonna leave the ptests coz I've got 2 sticks left and don't want the temptation next month lol) filled in Clue and Ovia which are giving me 2 completely different fw's. This cycle was back down to 28, been 30 and 31 last couple of months. Since I've come off pill I haven't had 2 cycles the same, it's gone 29-38-31-30 and now 28 again. Could I still be settling down after pill? So gonna try and pay more attention to my body this month and read the opk correctly haha. Feeling positive though, must keep smiling :)
Massive congrats babycarmen!! Hope it's a nice sticky one!!
Have a lovely Friday girlies and fx for this weekend's testers!
And those who are in fw... go for it 😜👌🏼

Oh! Congratulations!!!

Sorry af got you misty....I can empathise with the friends 'just falling pregnant' had lots of cuddles with my friends newborn and cried which my friend welcomed as she knows what I'm going through. I have a Counsellor zeb as part of my work and it has really helped me as I can speak openly and freely to her about everything. Hope it helps.
Started my fw today I believe as lots of ewcm! Was shocked really! Fx we don't miss it this month as I would be able to tell dh on his birthday which would be wonderful. Lots of love to all x
Ps I sometimes watch 'I didn't know I was pregnant' which makes me symptom spot even more! X

Congratulations!!

A faint line today on a Boots early test! Oh. My. God. I'm hyperventilating.

At least I know my symptoms haven't all been in my head.....
