Hi ladies, I'm due to test on the 8/9th March and 2puld love a few ladies to share the journey with. Some of the groups are super big and it would be lovely to start a smaller group to be TTC buddies? I'm 30, ttc no 2, cycle 1 Smile

Yeah me too, I shall let you know.
Are you using ovulation sticks this month or just hoping for the best?! Xx

Beardy1 · 09/03/2017 15:07

Hey littlemiss, it's been a really wicked 8 months. I had just started to feel relatively ok and then conceived. Life can be tricky eh.

Eek the tww symptom spotting. I'm hoping this cramps are a good sign. Keep letting me know how you get on.

Sorry notquite about the af. Fingers crossed for next round.

NotQuiteJustYet · 09/03/2017 13:46

AF arrived this morning, that's me done for this month.

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 09/03/2017 13:42

How awful, what a wicked 8 months you've had. It can only get better.
Brilliant news af has arrived for you post mc, at least you know where you're up to and can start ttc.
I've had some tummy cramping all morning so I'm hoping it's a good sign, but I've probably always had it post ovulation and just never noticed it before lol xx

Beardy1 · 09/03/2017 13:22

Hi littlemiss. Awful to hear about your journey but exciting that your in your tww. You must be one amazingly strong bean. Go you. I lost my mum in June last year and I sometimes don't know where we get this innate force to keep going and smiling. Woman are pretty amazing. I'll keep fingers and toes crossed that this is your rainbow baby. I started my period today 4 weeks post MC. Happy I can get on with ttc again. Bring it on!!

Mamabooks sorry to hear af came but on the positive side it's another opportunity to get yourself even more ready for the baby. Keep your chin up lady.

Hi happymama, welcome and thanks for sharing your story. Sorry to hear about your cp too. Looks like we have another one to join our ttc party. Let's go ladies.

Happymama17 · 09/03/2017 11:22

Hi everyone, do you mind if I join?
I have been TTC number 3 since August 2016. Had a chemical pregnancy in October and went back on the pill for a few months and now ready to start again!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage Beardy. I also had a miscarriage the week before Xmas, I had no bleeding or pain and then when I went for my 12 week scan they told me it had stopped growing 4 weeks before.
It definitely makes us stronger.
I'm 4 dpo so still a while off testing yet. Fingers crossed for us all this month xxx

Beardy1 · 09/03/2017 08:48

How's everyone getting on this week?

Beardy1 · 07/03/2017 17:41

Thanks mama and bumps for your kind words.

Bumps go you for keeping on it. I'm similar to you that I'm ready to go. Unfortunately mine was also suspected ectopic and need a final scan to check all is well so I've been told to wait after af which is a nightmare. I'm ready to go now.

Mama I'm with you there for the all consuming. It literally became my life but then I got busy at work and didn't have time to look on the apps etc was when I managed to fall pregnant. Those apps are amazing but canalso be the devil with predictions etc.

Anyone else finding it consumes alot of their waking day? It's all I can think about and it's so frustrating as the bfp isn't entirely in our hands Confused feels like such a waiting game. I have an essay Due in 2 and a half weeks so really need to find my focus for that and not get distracted with waiting with af to show (or not show).

Today is day 27 and I have done 2 tests and they were bfn. So I'm presuming i am put for this month. Good luck to everyone this month girls xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 07/03/2017 11:45

2 dpo here so a long way off testing yet.
Good luck to everyone this month xx

AGnu · 07/03/2017 11:38

I think the earliest tests will only start showing up at 5 days before AF is due, so about 9dpo. It's more reliable the closer it gets to the end of the cycle though. If I were you I'd not bother until at least CD26.

AmandaP86x · 07/03/2017 09:48

So how many days post ov would I be before I could test? Yeh cycles r 28-30ish days.

I done ov kits but they where a bit all over the place and didn't really do it religiously. This month iv bought 10 new sticks and a thermometer and going to follow that SMEP plan hopefully

bumphopes · 07/03/2017 09:21

Amanda did you record fm your temp or do any ovulation sticks?

AGnu · 07/03/2017 09:02

Amanda assuming an average 28 day cycle, it's likely that you're about 8dpo.

AGnu · 07/03/2017 08:59

I'm 10dpo & won't be testing until after the weekend. AF due on Saturday but I'm giving it a couple of days to make sure. The last 2 pregnancies I've tested either before or on the day AF was due. I can't stand seeing the BFP only for AF to arrive within 24 hours!

I've been feeling queasy & tired the last few days. I'm really hungry now but I'm likely to feel sick if I eat anything. I've got to be careful though, with DS2 I nearly ended up in hospital because the nausea was so bad I couldn't even drink!

AmandaP86x · 07/03/2017 08:59

How do I work that out lol! My app says 6 days until preg test 😭

Oldschool41 · 07/03/2017 08:42

I wouldn't test until after your AF is due, I know it's hard not too

bumphopes · 07/03/2017 08:37

Amanda how many DPO are you? Sounds too soon
