TTC First Time... #3!!

@charl19 I'm with @Pibbee I also like the idea of a Whatsapp group! But at the same time it scares me incase I know anyone in real life 😬 (I know the odds of that happening are very small!). That's why I didn't add any pictures of my wedding actually when a few of you added your lovely photos! If anyone wants to see any of mine though then I can send them via PM .

You're all so lovely and supportive we should definitely make sure we all keep in touch either way xxx

Oh - totally failed to go to the gym OR the cinema earlier stayed in watching films and getting a takeaway! Yum

Yeah @Misty, if you have been a drunken arse then all you can do is apologise, they are your friends and they know you are not a dick really!! I have been a drunken twat to my friends on a very rare occasion in the past - dunno about you but white wine is my devil drink!!! I dont go near it now. You are not the first person to do this and you won't be the last!! Get yourself an early night and I promise you will feel better in the morning.

@Charl I quite like the idea of a whatsapp group, sounds nice!

@Jelly I don't think anyone checks the price of baby stuff! I know I haven't, thats for sure!

Urgh WHY is the weekend over already?!?!?

I clearly haven't gotten to grips with the new name tagging thing on here have I 🙈

Thanks for all the well wishes @Forevertimes @littleemma1 @JellyBean89 and @charl19 😘😘😘

@Forevertimes fingers crossed your no pressure approach will work wonders this month 🤞🏼

Aww @MistyBxx I feel awful for you, I'm sure you can't have done anything so bad for your friends to still be so angry! Do they know what you've been going through lately? I'm sure it will all blow over soon and you know what, if it doesn't then it says a hell of a lot more about them than it does about you 😘 xxx

Sorry girls haven't been on MN in a couple of days!! I've come away with my family to my nans house in Guernsey, is lovely to have a bit of a break.... feeling really broody again now so think af must be due again soon! Or maybe next week I don't know.. the weeks seem to be flying by!! Roll on august can't wait to try properly😣

Aw misty don't worry chick we have all been there at some point, everything seems to feel worse the next day. I'm sure whatever happened can't be that bad? Hopefully your friends will get over it soon, they should cut you a bit of slack really! I agree with what ttcnovice said about hormones and emotions still being all over the place!!

Hope you're feeling better now ttcnovice!! Hi again forevertimes, good luck to you as well!!

I think we need an update on everyone's stats and where people are at!!

Another group I was in started a whatsapp group, just putting the feelers out if anyone would want to do that or just keep it confidential/ anonymous as a mn thing! Xx

Hi all! Been AWOL for a couple of days as been working and I just cba to do anything when I've been at work lol. Been at work today but I've been on double time and as it's been raining I haven't complained!

@jellybean CONGRATULATIONS!!! So excited for you, this is amazing news!! 🎉

Hope everyone else is doing well!
@ttcnovice I had a bad chest infection in January and it floored me. Was so horrendous.

I've been enjoying the sunshine for the past few days too but don't really have any colour to show for it 😩 I used to tan so easy!

Throwing myself into the wedding is helping keep my mind off TTC! We're all booked for next July, photographer, DJ, flowers and cake are all sorts via various family members so I don't know what to do now! I'm going dress shopping on Saturday to get an idea of styles to motivate my fat arse into losing more weight! I'm sticking with slimming world and over 3-4 weeks I'm down around 6-7lb so I'm happy so far! Gonna do the Clean-9 that @misty suggested the week I'm off in June 😁
After my OPK's last week the line as disappeared so just waiting for AF. Still no word from the gynaecologist so not sure if I should follow this up with the docs?

Aww @misty don't be so hard on yourself! You went through a lot and it's understandable that you needed to blow off some steam. The best you can do now is apologise to everyone involved and take care of yourself x

@TTC thank you! I hope you feel better soon chest infections are horrible x

@Forevertimes Ramadan Kareem darling! Don't worry I won't be going anywhere I'm hanging around until I see everyone's bfp ❤️❤️

@Pibbee did you end up deciding where to go? I'm off to my aunt's for dinner as I cannot be bothered to cook + I decided to go on daily walk so I'm getting some exercise in.

@flat have hope and be positive babe, 31 isn't old at all. Have you seen a doctor for the short periods? I never heard of them being 2 days long.

I had a bit of a panic today as I saw someone on one of the other boards mention a pushchair for around £600 I don't know why I never checked the price of baby stuff!!! Forced myself to calm down and decided to stop buying tests just so I can see the result and get excited. The amount of money i spend on them is ridiculous.

Really after advice please...
Flo says I'm due to ovulate tomorrow but my ov test this afternoon showed up negative (faintest line possible) , but I thought you were supposed show as negative 24 hours before ovulation? I didn't test on Sunday as I was away, could it be that ov has been and gone, or could just take a bit longer to show on a test...?

@jellybean
I am sooooo happy for you! Please stay on this thread and keep us updated. We started the TTC journey at the same time, I think we are the same age (based on your username) and by the looks of your comment about Ramadan we have that in common too. Ramadan Kareem to you!

@misty
Stop being so hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. The best thing you can do is let everyone cool down and then apologise. You've been through a lot recently and it is very normal to let it get the better of you. Take care of yourself!

@ttc- welcome back! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm about to start my FW and me and DH are so tired at the moment that we are not putting any pressure on ourselves at all this month. We will see what happens.

@littleemma1 I've just googled Hexham Abbey - wow what a stunning venue! I bet you're so excited!

Hi Pibbee I'm getting there thanks was so gutted to miss all the gorgeous weather last week being in bed though!

I vote for you carrying on your films on the sofa day . Loads of goodies and getting comfy on the settee is what bank holidays are for!

@Misty I agree with @ttcnovice - don't be so hard on yourself!!! If it's any consolation, I too was back in bed with club stamps on my arms about half an hour ago! Have a shower, you'll feel better. I hate the beer fear and I know exactly how you feel but it will pass!!!

Hi @ttcnovice hope you are feeling better now?

Im watching films on the sofa. Debating whether to go to cinema, gym, both or neither this afternoon/evening!

Hi everyone so sorry I have been AWOL for the past week or so!! I've had an awful chest infection so have pretty much just been in bed feeling sorry for myself! I'm on CD14 now but have only DTD once due to not feeling up to it so going to have to buck my ideas up this week!

I've just skim read over most of the posts and OMG congratulations Jelly!! Amazing news to come back to! How are you feeling?! Wishing you the healthiest 9 months, and please stay on here or we will be chasing you round the rest of MN for updates .

Twisted just saw about your dog I'm sorry hun

Flat how are you doing after your hospital stay? Hope you're feeling better

Bless you Misty stop being so hard on yourself chick! You are bound to still be all over the place after the MC, your emotions (and probably still hormones!) must be playing havoc with you. Be kind to yourself everyone has drunken nights that they'd rather forget every once in a while xxx

How is everyone else doing what have I missed? Welcome to the newbies too xxx

My periods have been about 2-3 days and very heavy since I came off the pill in March. I'm hoping they will chill out...
Does anyone else find shift work SO HARD when TTC??? Just watching the days until ovulation tick down on my app and knowing i be lucky to even see my other half for 5 mins whilst we're both awake! This month-other half is on a night tonight and due to ovulate, I can't jump on the poor guy as soon as he walks through the door!?! Can I???! Stressful!

Hey flatwhite, I'm just the same. 31 and short periods too (2-3 days). Also no pregnancy symptoms at moment. I'm trying to be positive about things - it will happen at some point, and if not, then we will have to deal with that. Focusing my energies on positive things and feeling much better for it :) hope you feel better. Enjoy the sunshine!

Hi everyone, I'm finally a bit better today. Feeling a bit down about TTC instead. Period due Wed, BFN yesterday, so pretty sure I'm out. No preg symptoms at all anyway apart from sore boobs. I'm conscious of the fact I'm 31 as well, and my very short periods (2 days long) make me worry that my fertility isn't great. Maybe I'm worrying over nothing, but you know when you just have a gut feeling that something isn't right?

I really hope it worked out for your friend @pibbee x

@Pibbee it's so hard not to keep peeing on sticks! I did 2 yesterday and a digital today just so I could see it in words lol. 5 hours worth of naps sound like a lot, how much sleep did you have the night before?

@flat how's your head doing?

Hi all

So sorry to hear about your dog @Twisted. We had various cats when I was growing up and it's so devastating when they get old and the inevitable happens....I've got a little cat but he's only 3 so hopefully lots and lots of years left...

So exciting @Jelly! If/when I get a BFP i am gonna spend that whole day weeing on sticks! Haha!

I have felt really tired all day but I am putting that down to my super-late Fri night rather than anything more exciting! I have had about 5 hours' worth of naps today! It's what bank hols are for....Now on my way out to meet friends, omg it was absolutely PISSING it down earlier but that seems to have subsided thank god.

Sorry about impending AF @flatwhite. How's the head now?

I was messaging my friend earlier who had IVF recently....And she didn't mention it! So that either means it didn't work out, or it did but she's keeping it quiet for now. I really want to know, but she obviously doesn't want to talk about it....

Ahhh so exciting @jelly! Hope you're home now putting your feet up.

Pretty sure AF is on her way. Having my usual carb and sugar cravings!
