Hello dear ttcers. It's fun to be in a group with ppl of same issues. I have been Ttcing for 5 months now. I had an early termination of pregnancy about 1year ago as we weren't ready for the baby and not yet married. I got pregnant without trying at that point. Now I am ready but it's not coming. The termination was at 4 weeks so it was uncomplicated and it just came like a normal period. The only thing I can say is different now is I had to change my antihypertensive to methyldopa when I started Ttcing as it is safe in pregnancy. I have also read that methyldopa could cause elevated prolactin and lead to difficulty getting pregnant. However my period has been somewhat regular. I was convinced the methyldopa was causing the difficulty getting pregnant so I had it changed to labetalol. This is my second cycle after the change and it is od 3 now. I hope we get right this time. Anyone wanna enjoy this 2ww with me?? I will be glad.

Mcstark7 I’m really not sure to be honest but I am seeing her next week so I will ask her 😊

decgal I attach a picture to show you the ones I get 😊

So today I keep getting pain in one side and every time DS leans on that side I get a stabbing pain... he’s always climbing on me and never noticed this before 😬 it could be AF getting ready but not notice this before.. but I guess I’m looking for things?

Hi ladies, went to the doctors to see if I can book an appointment with the nurse for a blood test and turns out a doctor has to approve for a blood test so got a telephone consultation appointment with a doctor next Wednesday morning between 11am-1pm to see if I can have a blood test done or if I have to wait another week before doing a pregnancy test

Mcstark7 · 19/10/2018 09:44

Thanks @Rightnow1245. Do you know if your friend had any symptoms of ovulating before she discovered she was pregnant? I don't want to get my hopes up that that will happen me so quickly. The past few weeks I've had more discharge TMI sorry, and the last week or so I've been crampy and moody. Still no sign of AF. I know it's possible for Phantom periods and PMS for a few months šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I've bought ovulation sticks to try in the next few weeks to see if I am ovulating and work from there. Just thought I should get on here for some tips šŸ˜‚ I'm not ready to stop bf so let's hope AF makes an appearance. X

Decgal88 · 19/10/2018 09:08

@LovelySam1 I would book a drs appt for sure! let us know how you get on Smile @Rightnow1245 thanks hun I will buy some from Amazon and let you know how I get on what brand do you use? really appreciate your adviceSmile

Lovelysam1 · 19/10/2018 08:30

Thanks soph4321, will pop to the doctors after I dropped my son off at school and see if I can get an appointment with the nurse today or for Monday xx

Soph4321 · 19/10/2018 08:23

@lovelysam1 I would ring the doctors and get an appointment xx

Lovelysam1 · 19/10/2018 08:20

Morning ladies, took another pregnancy test Sainsbury’s homebrand and got a negative result and still no sign of AF and I’m 6 days late today

Rightnow1245 · 19/10/2018 08:13

*OH and DS

Rightnow1245 · 19/10/2018 08:12

Morning ladies 😊 Been up with OH and all night as they both have a sickness bug 😬 poor things!! I’m just hoping I don’t get it too šŸ¤žšŸ½

soph That’s so good you get ovulation pain! I don’t get anything the whole way through my cycle so I’ll have no hope in knowing.. where abouts do you get the pain?
I have no symptoms at all so hoping that’s not a bad sign as maybe it’s just to early šŸ¤”

abz Glad you’ve joined the group too 😊 I think it’s defo a good idea for next month but hopefully you won’t need it šŸ¤žšŸ½

mcstark7 I am breastfeeding but my son is a little older! My periods return at 6 months after I started to wean him.. so I’ll let you know how the whole TTC business goes for me lol..I know it’s defo possible tho 😊 You might not even get a period you might just get pregnant straight away.. that’s what happened to my friend 😊

decgal I use the internet cheapies because I test so much! I would spend to much money if I used the clear blue ovulation tests.. my cycles Vairy quite a lot since I’ve been tracking is anything from 30 to 35 days.. I would say start testing on CD8.. it’s probably really early but at least you won’t miss it! I think I got 80 tests for under Ā£10 from amazon 😃 Once you get your ovulation day you can start testing less because you’ll have a better idea!

Mcstark7 · 18/10/2018 22:58

Hey all!! New to this forum. A little bit about myself
Age 29
TCC #2
Still breastfeeding #1 (LO is 10 months)

I still haven’t got my period back, had some symptoms of ovulation this month šŸ™šŸ» And hoping for AF to arrive soon as I’ve been cramping, sore boobs, acne (I never get spots) and a grumpy bitch šŸ˜‚. Otherwise I plan to reduce to only night time feeds (currently doing morning & night) then slowly stop all together if I can’t conceive.

Anyone on here conceive while breastfeeding? Any tips for me?
Thanks :)
