Hello all :)

I am back in the hell that is my tww 😂

I know I am gonna get stupidly excited over every little thing so if anyone is in the wait lets do it together :)

A little about me then, I am past the age of 30 Wink have an almost 3 year old ds, and we have been on and off ttc for a couple of months or so!

Has anyone else tested? I cracked and did one this morning. BFN. No AF yet though... still have a small amount of hope.

reluctantlondoner · 22/08/2017 22:00

I am pleased to see this is apparently a lucky thread with lots of BFPs! Congrats to those who have been lucky this month! Flowers to those who have had AF turn up rudely unannounced, hope you have better luck next time.

reluctantlondoner · 22/08/2017 21:50

Hi ladies, I am CD27 of a usually 27 day cycle... so tomorrow I am expecting AF (although secretly hoping this might be our month after TTC properly since January). I have had sore boobs and bloated tummy this week, farting lots, feeling tired. But maybe just PMS. Would you test tomorrow or wait and see if AF turns up? I am not sure I can handle seeing a "not pregnant" - it will really upset me.

cookielove · 21/08/2017 14:00

Has any one else tested?

ApplesTheHare · 13/08/2017 07:39

Got another bfn today after waking up feeling more like AF is due than pg today Sad I'm going to try not to think about it/read about it for a whole as the symptom spotting is driving me mad. Good luck to you all Flowers

ApplesTheHare · 12/08/2017 19:11

SecretLife did you feel better for having a good cry? I always do! Good to hear you've got a plan, and who knows it could well happen before then Smile

I spoke to DH about the time limit and he agreed it was putting pressure on. He'd suggested it as a way to help us not get stressed and fixated on ttc if it doesn't happen but he agreed it actually made us feel like time was running out. If AF shows in the next couple of days as I suspect then hopefully without the time limit we can just carry on having fun with it.

Thanks ApplesTheHare
I'm off the pill about 3 years. I went through a rough patch of illness and the doctor suggested I come off it to right myself again and I felt so 'normal' I didn't realise it had such an effect on my mood that we decided I wouldn't go back on it and decided to just use condoms.
We wouldn't have minded if I ended up pregnant from any mishaps because we were just after getting married.

Can I ask why your DH has put a 6months timeframe?
Fingers crossed for you, hopefully your next test will show a bfp!

We had a good chat last night because I started blubbering and decided to keep trying to this Christmas then investigate some help with the doctor.

ApplesTheHare · 12/08/2017 12:01

Hi and welcome SecretLife. I totally understand how you feel about friends announcing pregnancies. It does make you feel sorry for yourself doesn't it, no matter how happy you are for friends and relatives. Did you come off the pill at Christmas?

I'm driving myself mad symptom spotting. Tmi but lots of farting and swollen, tingly boobs... After the bfn yesterday afternoon I don't want to test again for as long as I can hold out but I feel like either I'm pregnant or AF will make a dramatic return soon!

SecretLifeOfTTC · 11/08/2017 19:49

Hi all - hope you don't mind me jumping on I've been lurking through some TTC posts but this is my first post.

We've been TTC no.1 since Christmas with no success.
This evening its hit me that this might not be so easy for us. Was really hoping August was The Month however I don't think so as I am feeling that AF is on her way.

The saddest is all compounded by two friends announcing this week that they are pregnant. I am absolutely delighted for them but feeling sorry for myself.

Thanks for the read!

ApplesTheHare · 11/08/2017 18:52

Aw cookie enjoy celebrating your ds turning 3 and don't worry about ttc for now. Hopefully a short cycle means you're gearing up for a a superfertile megacycle next Flowers

MrsLadyL · 11/08/2017 18:43

Cookielove I'm really sorry to hear that, it's so shitty at times. I watched my sisters and friends all become pregnant and have there babies while I couldn't even fall.... you've done it before so you will get there!!

TinyBarista · 11/08/2017 18:42

Yay myalterego ! Congrats to you also.
Well I have been to the loo twice this afternoon and both times have had faint brown when wiping. Looks like this could be AF making her arrival Sad.

cookielove · 11/08/2017 18:41

I can't believe it really, I am day 23!! I can't believe it has come so early!!

I am totally gutted, I thought this was my month :( there is no miscalculation sadly just my body being shit. But onwards and upwards ds is 3 on Sunday so looking forward to spoiling him not that he doesn't get spoiled all the time anyway

Congratulations do and my 😀

Sending hugs cookielove and each day now is a day closer to ovulation

dowhatyouwish · 11/08/2017 15:27

Looks like all my farting has paid off! I've had a BFP 3 days in a row now and the line is getting stronger! Can't believe it!

@cookielove all the best for next cycle! Let us know how you get on! x

ApplesTheHare · 11/08/2017 15:17

cookie no way. Do you think your dates were off? Flowers for you.

I stupidly just did a test after picking one up in Tesco and got a bfn. It's a bit early really and I did it in the afternoon so I think it was always going to be but I just couldn't help myself! First time round I was pretty chill about all this but now we've decided to ttc I'm ridiculously impatient even though this is only our first month trying Sad DH has put a time limit of 6 months on it and I feel so pressured because of it. Think I need to chat to him...
