TTC - First Time! (2)

Pibbee no symptoms here either! I haven't had any more pains since the other day. I have had some nausea but that's a recurring theme around this time every cycle now! I'm just putting it down to normal fluctuating hormones, or maybe I get so worked up about whether this will be the month that I end up feeling sick! AF due on Sunday so I might end up testing on Saturday, but I'm going to try and wait it out.

Sorry flat had my hopes on a honeymoon baby for you! Fx next cycle is the one for you x

Also @emma my friends both conceived early/mid 30s, you are only a baby so have definitely got time on your side!

I on the other hand am practically a fossil. I had to tick the "36-55" age group on something the other day. That made me feel great!

Hi all

Sorry to those who have been got by AF. @emma at least you have some answers now. And 2 of my close friends have really bad endo (as in been operated on several times) and they each have a baby! So it can totally be done.

Im on Cd24 now and still no symptoms of anything. AF likely to arrive between the next one to 5 days.... I felt a bit sick this morning but I am putting that down to the fact that I drank quite a lot of booze last night (subconsciously trying to invoke Sods Law?) and also the fact that I was on the bus to work mega early and i am TIRED.

@flatwhite if he makes me wait much longer before he pops the question he'll be in so much trouble 😂 We've been together almost 7 years and purchased our house together last year so he has better hurry up! Lol.
Oh no, I was really hoping you would have had a honeymoon baby!

AF is here! Booooo! Ah well, at least I can take control now. I am disappointed this cycle didn't work. We DTD a lot, and we're both really relaxed on honeymoon. Will give OPKs a try this month.
@littleemma1, 25 is definitely young! I'm 31 and have only been married 12 weeks . Hope you're feeling ok today. X

Sorry about AF jelly

@jellybean I thought you'd mentioned somewhere that you did too, but I think yours is really bad? Although saying that I don't think I've got a true picture of what my cycles will be like just yet because I've only been off the pill since December. The period just gone was horrendous, Saturday was the worst day by far, all I wanted was crap food because the pain was so bad, I was popping cocodamol every couple of hours which isn't like me.
I would prefer to be married before a baby comes along so OH and I are now looking at alternative ways we could get married compared to the ideas that we have so it can be done quicker and then we can really get down to business. I'm not particularly fussed on a huge wedding I just want to marry him, that's what means the most to me. What I don't want to happen is to book a wedding and then find out I'm going to be like a beached whale waddling down the aisle, does that make sense? Trying to find the balance!
I'm trying to look on the bright side of this and thinking at least we'll have fun trying 😜😜

Af showed up with a vengeance today, honestly felt like my uterus was being ripped out. On to the next cycle. How is everyone doing?

@littleemma1 I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis babe, I have endometriosis and I honestly wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, 25 is stil quiet young though so you do have time on your hands which is always a plus. At least now you have answers, they're not great but they are something xx

Bless you emma you're bound to be feeling worried . It sounds like you have a good support system from your OH which is good. Feel free to rant away on here whenever you need, there'll always be someone listening xxx

Emma sorry to hear of your diagnosis. While ttc will be hard it is possible for you so I wish you luck xx

I am relieved to finally have answers yes, just wish I didn't need any!
I'm just so worried that it's going to be so hard to TTC, as we all know on here it's not the walk in the park that they tell you in school so I feel like anything that could hinder it is going to make everything so much harder. I feel like the emotional side of things is going to be the hardest, as you all know, the build up every month and just not knowing what's going on with my body in general! Think I'm also going to join the PCOS thread on here for extra support if needs be.
OH and I are now talking about taking things seriously and trying because if it's going to take a while then I need time on my side!
@flatwhite, some people look at you crazy when you say you're 25 and aren't married with kids but it is still young in the whole grand scheme of things! you never know, could just be taking a while for your HCG to build up! Xx

emma glad you finally got some answers! You must feel relieved to know what's going on but of course it's only natural to feel upset too! Wishing you a positive appointment with the gynaecologist to figure out your treatment xxx

@littlemma1, glad you have some answers, but I can understand your tears. Bless you. I wish I was still 25!
I'm so frustrated. Two chin spots, sore boobs but no other AF symptoms, but very very negative pg tests! Why are our bodies so complicated?!

Hi all 👋🏻
Been to the docs this morning and they've said there's traces of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Endometriosis so I have to have further blood tests and a consultation with a gynecologist to see what the next steps are and possible treatment. Due to irregular and heavy periods it may have an impact on conceiving as I'll not be ovulating "normally" but we'll have to see what happens in the future. Doctor said it's good that I've got time on my hands thought as I'm only 25 (I love that she said I'm ONLY 25, get in! Lol)
I'd sort of self diagnosed this via google so I'm off to be a GP now hahahaha.
Bawled my eyes out to the OH when we got out of the doctors, he came in with me and held my hand as he knew how nervous he was. Bless him, he said to me last night that no matter what they said we would still be a couple.
Looks like everyone is down in the dumps at the moment, sending hugs to everyone 💐 xxx

Still no AF and still BFN! Fed up, as my cycle is clearly messed up. Arrrgh.

Yeah same @ttc! They are sort of half way between my hip bone and my belly button, but a bit closer to hip bone (hope this is making some vague sense?!). No idea if they mean anything or if its just that I notice anything and everything these days! Fingers crossed.....

Pibbee mine are on the left too! They've been mild mostly but every now and then I get quite an intense sharp pain for a second or two. Strange!

Hey @ttc I think I am 7dpo too and I have had slight stitch pains today also. Really mild pains on my left hand side. No idea what it means if anything....Have yours been like that too?

Sorry about AF @Twisted but good to hear you are feeling OK about it. PMA and all that! I so need new gym stuff, and I even more need to get back into the gym!!!

Hi Pibbee glad you had a lovely few days away, bet that's made the 2ww go a bit quicker for you!

Not much to report from me either. I'm 7DPO (if I ovulated on the day I think due to ewcm and pains) and I have had stitch like pains today, but I had that around this time last month too so I'm not holding out much hope!

Ah no sorry Twisted glad you aren't feeling too bad about it though! Do you think allowing yourself some time to feel down earlier on this week helped? I'm going to take a leaf out of your book with the looking after yourself more I think, feel free to send some of your motivation over this way .

Guys I'm out!! AF is here!!

But despite my emotions earlier in the week I actually don't feel too bad. I joined a gym & treated myself to new gym clothes. Time to take care of me & hopefully it will help!

I'm sorry some of you are also feeling so down & hope things improve soon!

Hello! Sorry I've been AWOL, was away with DP for a few days, was lovely!

Sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling a bit down. Are you feeling better now? It's such an emotional rollercoaster all this.

I have nothing exciting to report; am on CD22 or thereabouts, and AF will rock up in a few days if last cycle is anything to go by, or another week or so if going by the cycle before! No symptoms of anything, and not expecting any either!

Sorry to hear of everyone feeling down at the moment . Who is testing again soon? Let's hope for some good news on here to cheer us all back up! Sending positive thoughts to everyone (and desperately trying to have them myself!) .
