Hi lovelies
Started actively trying this month so thought it would be nice if anyone wanted a journey buddy.
I’m 35, DH is 42.
Had 2 pregnancies in past (2002,2011) ending in MC
Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂
So tell me all about you and your journey 💋

I did wait until he left the room too lol. That's our 3rd time but I don't ovulate until sat-Sunday so I hope it's enough time. When do u ovulate?? Oh we will hopefully have each other for the tww. Lol @Louise392

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 20:09

Haha, i did that one evening when DH left the room, he would have taken the piss outta me for being dramatic but anything that helps get them swimmers up to the right place is a bonus i say!
May do that again myself later :)

Whoohoo on DTD @hopeful31 hope you are feeling better :)

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 20:03

Dtd and have been laying with my legs in the air for the last 15 mins lol. Think that's enough haha

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 19:04

@Lammoshay are you 10dpo? you have lots of time yet, many people dont see a positive til af time or after x

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 18:52

@Louise392 I would have diarrhoea on my fertile week and leading up at af too.

Dh and I will be on it like a dog on heat every day from now till Sunday. So I hope that's enough lol

@Lammoshay at least u have a positive attitude. When is af due ?

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 18:27

Haha @Lammoshay, that's like me this month, fella usually moans he doesn't get enough now he's getting it every other or every night he doesn't seem as willing lol but he wants a little one just as much as me and now we have a bigger car ready :)

Louise392 · 06/02/2019 18:26

Anyone else get a lot of diarreah on fertile week? Sorry if tmi, just seem to have it every day, must be hormones messing my body around.

Lammoshay · 06/02/2019 18:24

Oh my hope has well gone @hopeful- you know when you just know.
I’m ok with it though, I again think I missed it but I will be on him like a bitch on heat the end of the month 😂😝😂

Lammoshay · 06/02/2019 17:14

Yep I’m gonna do the sperm meets egg next time as know I’m out this month.
Just feel normal at 9dpo x

OP posts:
Louise392 · 06/02/2019 08:06

Hopefully you have had some quality sperm above quantity :) you still have a few days left yet too.

That's what I am aiming for this month, dtd as much as possible then I've gotta fall pregnant surely, hubby is feeling it lol should be happy he's getting it so much haha

hopeful31 · 06/02/2019 07:27

I'm still not 100% so I feel like we haven't dtd as much. This is my fertile week. And Thursday-Saturday is when I should ovulate. I'm just getting worried

@Louise392 sounds like u have all bases covered. Fingers crossed for u

Louise392 · 05/02/2019 21:06

Hi @hopeful31 hope you are well?

We have been dtd every other day, sometimes every day since a couple days after my period ended on 27th, want to cover all basis this month, sperm WILL meet egg this month!! Lol.

My fertile week according to Ovia is starting tomorrow, Glow is saying it started yesterday and flo is saying it started last Friday so god knows! lol. I think Ovia seems more realistic to me and i am using OPK's this month and so far only faint lines so not due to ovulate yet.

Are you on your fertile week?

hopeful31 · 05/02/2019 20:40

How often do you all dtd? Like during ur fertile window?

ImMeantToBeWorking · 05/02/2019 15:49

Thanks @Dolly, I picked it because I am normally on here in work!!

I know its like it bad enough my partner getting excited month after month, I don't nned more friends and family to be the same. My mam would have the world told we were trying (no joke - she had everyone told my sis was going to x uni before she had even applied for said uni never mind been accepted)

I know that feeling, it does get better I promise. I had a MC when I didn't even know I was pregnant and was not trying. At first I couldn't watch ads with babies, and I had not been actively trying so I can only imagine how much worse it would be for you. Sending hugs! Flowers

I won't lie, I haven't a clue about implantation bleed etc. (that's why I am on here so often - learning so much), but to me those tests look very positive. I know it is not coming up on the digital one, but it is coming up on the old reliable ones.

Will you be able to get to a doc to get it confirmed?

Dollydoo22 · 05/02/2019 10:56

btw I meant feint lines have been showing since 29/01

these are my lines all on rapids from Thurs - sun (the ones before are super feint and cant find pic!)

today they still aren't any darker and still negative on digi anddd now light bleeding as per my above :-(

sorry - I ramble a lot!

hey @ImMeantToBeWorking --- love your name! as it sit here pushing my to do list to one side to reply haha!

its crazy isn't it? I almost feel like they don't quite understand either? and you kinda feel pressured once people do know you're trying like i'm letting them down or I'm almost failing??

I feel ok chic... still a bit in shock like I still feel "did that happen?!" sometimes I get upset or I think i'm ok and then I talk about it and start getting upset I just never imagined such grief?

Tissue is still RED when I wipe yet I've had a pad in for 2 hours and it has (sorry for the use of word) but almost like a red skidmark and that's it? I just feel so confused... :-(

I'm totally new to all this so I have no idea about temps, best days etc etc but totally here if you need to vent Smile

xxxx

ImMeantToBeWorking · 05/02/2019 09:35

@Shewhojuggles and @Dollydoo22 welcome!

Dolly I completely agree, there is stuff I feel OK saying on here but not to my closest friends because;

A. I don't want them to keep asking am I pregnant yet.
B. Once close friend trying for 4 years, going for IVF later this year when they save enough money.
C. Other close friend has been trying for months now and still nothing.

I don't want to feel like I am rubbing their face in it!

Dolly how are you feeling after the MC? It may take a few more weeks for you to get your sex drive back unfortunately. Hopefully this is your month though.

@Lammoshay hopefully, sending you lots of well wishes! Flowers

My temp arrived yesterday, so when is best to start temping? AF due on the 14th so past ovulation now.

Dollydoo22 · 05/02/2019 07:48

Good morning Girlies!

I hope you are all well?

@Lammoshay that colour I would say implantation! Fingers crossed for you beauty.

hopeful & Louise, thank you for your responses also!

So yesterday I kind of pounced on in a panic - does anyone else find themselves really finding comfort in the internet??? blogs and google = the church of 2019! Smile

so my story....

I'm Dolly ;) I'm 31 and I fell pregnant in November 18' complete surprise and first time unprotected with twins! The loveliest shock of our lives but complete confirmation of how ready we were for it. sadly I miscarried 23/12 .. wow i'm getting emotional writing! I had a v.quick mc happened early hours and had a little spotting a few days after went back for an internal scan 28/12 and all was clear. Dr told me she saw no reason to try again in 4-6 once I had AF.

Desperate to be pregnant again...........

BUT since I've had ZERO sex drive just ZERO in fact we've done it once.. and that once being 20/01 so I have no ideas on dates of ovulation dpo etc etc as I've not been trying so I don't really know much about it! however on 29/12 my feint lines started and were getting stronger up until sunday. Then yesterday they seem a bit more faded and still negative on the old CB Digi ... this morning I've just had bright red blood when I wipe and a little pressure cramping .... so I think something may have started but isn't going to continue....

and that's my story ...

Lammoshay · 04/02/2019 23:05

If I’m pregnant then I will get the shock of my life as don’t have that pregnancy “feeling” if you know what I mean, and feel very normal 🙈

Louise392 · 04/02/2019 22:35

Hi @dollydoo22 from what you have put I would say you are defo pregnant.

@Lammoshay just seen your post about the pink, fingers crossed it's implantation.

I'm having cramps and feel hungry today, faint lines on opk still so not quite at ovulation yet.

Lammoshay · 04/02/2019 20:52

@hopeful- nothing but I’m cramping slightly x

OP posts:
hopeful31 · 04/02/2019 17:55

@Lammoshay have u had any more spotting?

@Dollydoo22 welcome :) I feel like I can't pee anymore unless it's on an ovulation stick , pregnancy stick or without documenting it lol

Dollydoo22 · 04/02/2019 17:16

Hey Lammoshay - thank you!!! Smile

that's what I thought maybe they would be more sensitive as I guess have to be to show quicker.

fingers crossed.... i'm just so nervous after the MMC in December anyone else feel like constantly peeing on a stick is going to make it happen faster?

i'll post pics later just about to leave work thanks girlies xxxx
