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 💋

@Lammoshay it’s so hard not having control. I’ve always had shitty periods anyway, but now it’s like a slap in the face. Trying not to get too obsessed, but spent ages googling cervical fluid earlier, so not doing so well at that Confused

hi everyone , im new here and looking for some TTC buddies to talk to also , my husband and I have been TTC for 2 years now and have just been referred to the fertility clinic , anyone been through this or know what to expect ? :)

hopeful31 · 10/01/2019 21:20

@Lammoshay it's not stupid at all. There can be so much pressure from others and from ur self. Plus women aren't good at having no control and conceiving and the time it takes is something that we have zero control over. It's all daunting and genuinely draining. So it's not stupid at all to feel like that. Just know that u aren't alone. 😘

mass22 · 10/01/2019 21:19

@hopeful31 I hope it's your month! @Lammoshay I totally get it and feel similar. Very highly sensitive to it all at the min. Feeling very sorry for myself but will tell myself to get a grip tomorrow.

Hope to hear more positives this month. But if not got to keep hopeful Smile been advised recently it's the quality of baby making made not the quantity which did remind me calm down and stop over thinking and planning. Stress will never help.

Lammoshay · 10/01/2019 20:44

Feeling a bit crap today seeing loads of babies on my Facebook :( I know it’s unrealistic to expect a bfp first month but it is a crap feeling knowing I’ve got to have AF and then start again and then wait!
Feeling sorry for myself today and know it’s stupid!

cosycashmere · 10/01/2019 13:47

@hopeful31 sending lots of positive thoughts your way over the next day or so!

Threelittlesquishies · 10/01/2019 08:58

Thanks everyone!!
Wishing you all bfps soon!
Xxx

hopeful31 · 10/01/2019 07:56

@Lammoshay I'm still having cramps so I don't know if it's af or implantation. No bleeding but no bfp. So I think I'm on a waiting game for the next few days.
2 of my Friends are pregnant so I'm really hoping it's true when they say that all good things come in 3s.
I'm not having my usual headaches that I get leading up to af.

Viennawaits4you · 10/01/2019 01:12

Threelittlesquishies congrats Smile
Not feeling like this is my month. Been ill so haven’t dtd as often as usual. 9 days until af, but not holding out much hope.

Lammoshay · 10/01/2019 00:19

@Lammoshay oops sorry lol 🙈

@Threelittlesquishies that last one was for u 😘

I'm starting to lose the will here girls. I tested again today and got another bfn. One of my apps say in due Friday and the other says in due AF Wednesday. My cycles vary so I dono if I'm coming or going

Lammoshay · 09/01/2019 20:02

@Lammoshay yay!!! I'm delighted for you. Congratulations!!!!!! So so exciting!

@KC88 Yeah it's so hard not to symptom spot and to good everything and I mean EVERYTHING LOL

KC88 · 09/01/2019 16:10

Hi everyone,

Its so good to read up on everyone else in the same situation, and helps to take my mind off my own! We've been TTC for 15 months now (after coming off the pill which I had been taking for 15 years), currently on cycle 11, with a regularly alternating pattern of cycles which seem to switch from 32 days to 42 days almost consistently.

Im on CD 22, although I should assume that this month will be a 42 day cycle, so still have a lot of waiting ahead. My ovia app is set for 32 day cycle, in which I would have just passed my FW, however on the assumption it could be 42 days, then this week could also be FW..we have BD every day this cycle (I know some recommend every other day, but we'll see how it goes and maybe test and adjust next time).

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon, will be keeping an eye out on here, and seeing others finally getting the good news inspires hope that BFP will eventually happen!

Looking forward to keeping up to date with updates, and trying to avoid symptom spotting, but its so hard isn't it?!

Lammoshay · 09/01/2019 16:07

Yay squish I’m so please for you!! Eeeeeek!
How exciting ❤️
Congrats xxx

I did a test this morning and was so shocked when two lines appeared!!! BFP Shock It's still sinking in!!
There weren't many symptoms really only slightly sore boobs and jus yesterday started feeling a bit funny.
Still hopeful for those of of you that may have tested too early!
@lammoshay are you only 5dpo? It's very unlikely that implantation will have happened, so you won't feel any different yet! Fingers crossed for you
How are you all doing?

ale2992 · 09/01/2019 11:15

Me too...
I'm trying again are a MMC

hopeful31 · 08/01/2019 23:48

@Lammoshay ur right. It's not over until AF is here. Fingers crossed for u. X
@CrossedToTheDarkSide things r looking good for u!! I'm sending all of my wishes that u get ur bfp!
I dono, I'm feeling a little strange. On min I think yes this is the month. And the next I think no way. I'm totally exhausted. Fell asleep at 815 and just awake at 1140pm! Feeling very nauseous, have tingling in my legs( for the last few nights) my cm is slightly yellow. I have no idea what's going on x

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 08/01/2019 23:17

Still no AF for me and all signs of AF have vanished! So bit confused. Hmm Not that I’m complaining. Still having more CM which I am trying not to take as a positive but have read can be a sign of pregnancy. Will wait another week or so and test again I think!! Confused

Lammoshay · 08/01/2019 22:37
