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 💋

Need to vent.
Mr Lammoshay is pissing me off!
Ok so I started OV on Thu- had sex the wed eve, then yesterday (fri)started sex and he literally was going for ages and I had to finish him off orally, ok not a problem but then I’ve asked him twice today and he said he isn’t in the right headspace today.
I feel really cross at him and know I’m prob being selfish but I want to get pregnant! And I know I OV’d early last month so I’m more eager to do the deed the first 3 days.
Might just chuck in the towel this month- just had a little cry and now I’m gonna put my big girl pants on x

@Hopeful31 I will pick up some opk sticks up I think and give them ago for next month 🤗🤞🏻 And for everyone one else who did make this month. 💕

Louise392 · 26/01/2019 15:20

@hopeful31 the only stress I have at the min is ttc lol apart from that no nothing
Suppose it's going to be a wait and see if anything happens in a week or so.

hopeful31 · 26/01/2019 14:24

@Louise392 that's all very unusual. Are you under any unusual stress at the moment. Sometimes can make my af a little strange. But sounds like you could still be in with a chance of a bfp. Maybe wait a week and if nothing phone ur docs and ask for a blood test?

Louise392 · 26/01/2019 13:43

Well i did a test last night as after having a bit more pinky red blood i stopped the rest of the night and nothing at all today,
got a bfn.

I can only assume that its a weird period,
Wednesday - Brown stringy blood
Thursday - Brown with bits of red
Friday - Nothing then redy pink blood for an hour then nothing
Today - Nothing all gone

Really strange as i have had a lot of symptoms this 2ww and then to have a 2/3 day 'period' is not normal at all for me.

Feel super emotional today all day and had pain again in my right side hip/pelvic area.

@holiday16 welcome to the madness that is TTC lol :)

hopeful31 · 26/01/2019 13:35

Sorry to hear that @Maddison01 . Looks like we r all in the same boat together this month again

@Holiday16 I find the clear blue ovulation kits to be helpful

Hugs @ Maddison. Xxx

Welcome @holiday16, try downloading an app like flo/glow to track your cycles.
If your only at month one be prepared to be pregnancy obsessed 😂

Hi ttc buddies sounds amazing. I am 26 and trying for my first. My partner already has a child from a precious relationship. I had my implant out on December and I have just finished my first cycle. I didn’t have af when on implant so not sure when I’m ovulating etc. Just enjoying the trying for now.

Fingers crossed for all of us Smilex

Maddison01 · 26/01/2019 11:12

Think AF has turned up 😞 will have to try again next month x

Maddison01 · 25/01/2019 17:28

@hopeful31 I will again tomorrow as I did one again this morning but nothing, yet a few days ago I have a faint positive. Still two days to go tho so still hopeful

Viennawaits4you · 25/01/2019 16:02

Last test on Wednesday, bfn. Still no sign of af. Going to test again tomorrow.

hopeful31 · 25/01/2019 15:55

@Maddison01 did u do another test ?

hopeful31 · 25/01/2019 15:54

@Louise392 yes I use clear blue kits to determine when I'm ovulating from around 3-4 after af.
Try another test In the morning to see xx

Louise392 · 25/01/2019 15:18

Maybe... Can't remember having that with any of my other 3 but suppose all pregnancies are different.

When should I test again then? Does it take a few days after IB to get the hgc up or should I just do it tomorrow with fmu? X

Louise392 · 25/01/2019 14:22

So period has stopped, so confused?!
Had brown stringy blood 23rd, brown with Pinky red yesterday then nothing at all today.
Whats going on?

Louise392 · 25/01/2019 08:13

@hopeful31 do you do opks every day to determine when you are ovulation? Or just closer to the time you expect to?

@Madison I had a faint positive on a one step strip then 3 negatives after on other tests, then af arrived. Fingers crossed yours it's stays positive :)

hopeful31 · 24/01/2019 21:08

@Louise392 I was thinking of trying the smep this month.

@Maddison01 try a first response tomorrow and see maybe

Maddison01 · 24/01/2019 16:36

Oh and bfn today but Tesco freedom strips showed faint positive 2 days ago 😕

Maddison01 · 24/01/2019 16:34

Hi lovely ladies,

Do you mind if I join you all as well, currently 11 dpo and 3 days from AF.

Louise392 · 24/01/2019 16:30

haha @Lammoshay I was looking at that SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) with opk's and dtd every other day til ovulation then every day for 3 days, dunno if i would be able to keep that up though every other day for 2 weeks lol

Louise392 · 24/01/2019 11:38

@Lammoshay Thank you :)
Full period today....

This will be my 3rd month trying. I am nearly 36 so want to have one sooner rather than later.
Going to have to dtd every night from end of my period lol.

Any tips?
