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 💋

Welcome @Threelittlesquishies

How's everyone doing today?

Threelittlesquishies · 08/01/2019 17:15

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining too!
This is my first month properly ttc, AF is due in 2 days on Thurs, 13 dpo at mo. So far I have held off from testing! Maybe tomorrow is the day to test? Bit scared tho Confused
I know what you all mean about it being on your mind a lot! And I can't help symptom spotting, my boobs have getting more sore and tingly since dpo7 and that's not usual for me, but who knows could just be a random pms symptom!
Good luck to all of you and fingers crossed for those of you testing soon!

mass22 · 08/01/2019 08:00

Sounds like Friday is the testing day! Good luck I hope there's positives shown in this thread soon xxx

@hopeful31
No it’s odd as i was constipated when ovulating but now the last 2 days of an evening I feel I need to go (loosely) but when I try nothing but cramping.
No other signs tho and everything seems normal.
Haven’t tested yet as still only early after OV so it wouldn’t show anything anyway- was going to wait till around thu/fri to test x

I keep holding onto the fact that AF still hasn’t come and have weird CM more like EWCM around ovulation which is not normal before AF (sorry way TMI, but that is to be expected on this thread Wink)
Trying to just enjoy the rest of my holiday and pray AF doesn’t show up at a really annoying time!! Would be just my luck.

hopeful31 · 07/01/2019 22:17

@Lammoshay are you constipated? is constipation not a sign of early pregnancy? Fingers crossed for u!
I'm tired, acne break out, which I never get, and my boobs feel huge. Due this Friday so I might test Wednesday or Thursday.
Have u tested again?

Hi ladies
Hope you’re having a nice eve, I have not been off the toilet again tonight- after I ate I got cramps and stomach ache but nothing comes out when I’m on the loo (sorry if tmi).
And remember ladies who got a BFN it ain’t over till the witch comes! 💋

Sorry about your bfns @CrossedToTheDarkSide @hopeful31 I have my fingers crossed that it's either too early and you're still in with a chance, or that next month is your month!

I'm CD20 and feel totally normal so not expecting anything. This is only month 1 and it's put me on edge a bit and taken up way more brain space than I'd like, I can see how it takes over people's lives once you've been trying a long time.

Nothing to report here, don’t feel any different to usual :(
Been out shopping today to try and get out the house and occupy myself- bit of retail therapy is good 😝

I did a test this morning. Bfn. 😭 I'm still cramping. 2 of my friends r currently pregnant and told me that they got their cramps as normal so they didn't expect their bfp. So I'm hopeful yet.

I don't think anyone understands unless they r trying and having some difficulty. Everyone just says don't overthink it but it's impossible.

Back to work today after a good Christmas break so I'm hoping that it takes my mind off it all a little!

Good luck ladies and hoping someone has good news soon 😘

mass22 · 07/01/2019 14:01

Afternoon all. I'm still annoyed as period is heavy and horrible. Seeing babies and pregnant women everywhere and need to calm down.

@Lammoshay hope you do have positive news @CrossedToTheDarkSide sorry to hear! Could it be too early to test still?

@hopeful31 my DH doesn't know either. So glad I found this site. He thinks I'm overthinking it but it's much easier to say when it's not your body! He has been amazing but can't relate like you ladies can Smile

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 07/01/2019 10:14

Did a test this morning and BFN. Sad I’m okay though. I’d rather know!! Wishing everyone else luck this month and onwards and upwards for next month!

To be honest I don’t feel preggers but to early, apart from me not leaving the toilet earlier things seem to have settled.
I do think I missed it this month and should have BD the first 3 days of OV and not just the last 3.
However we literally decided on the 3rd day we were going to try this year so can’t be that gutted if I wasn’t if you get what I mean x

Good luck everyone! Gunna dash out to the pharmacy tomorrow first thing if still no sign of AF. Am on holiday and didn’t bring any tests with me as I was sure I would come on quite early on in the holiday and honestly didn’t even think it would be a possibility. Desperately trying not to get my hopes up. This TTC business is pretty soul destroying at times but it’s so lovely to have you lot to chat to! Good luck everyone and will update ASAP tomorrow on the test but I am already prepared for either AF before then or BFN. I personally am finding it easier not getting my hopes up atm and trying not to get too stressed but omg it’s so tough. I want to just be pregnant already!! Sending everyone lots of baby dust and hope we all get our BFP sooner rather than later in 2019!! WinkFlowers

hopeful31 · 06/01/2019 22:03

Good luck everyone. Keep us posted

@mass22 thank u. It's my 3 rd cycle ttc for first.
I hope we all get a bfp
Also my husband doesn't know about these chats because he already thinks that I'm obsessing slightly lol

Viennawaits4you · 06/01/2019 21:54

Ttc buddies sound good. Cycle 5, but had a bit of a break in December.
Ttc 1st baby, and 2dpo, hating the wait.
Good luck to everyone.

GinaJabowski · 06/01/2019 21:28

Hi all!
Me & DP are TTC our first child together. He has 1 DD from previous relationship. We tried for 9 months beginning June 2017 until we got our BFP March 16th 2018. Sadly we discovered at 12 week scan it was MMC at 7 weeks. This was May 9th 2017. I didn't get back into a regular cycle (due to some health issues relating to MMC) until November. This month was our first month TTC again. Currently 4DPO! Fingers crossed for us & the rest of you lovely folks! 💞

mass22 · 06/01/2019 21:28

Hi is it ok to join? I'm TTC 1st since about Nov 2018 and finding it really hard already! This month thought I had implantation bleeding 12dpo and then came on my period 4 days early so pretty crap.

@hopeful31 I hope your test is positive! Fingers crossed for you.

@Lammoshay so sorry to hear about your MCs. I hope you hear good news this month also. It's so so hard not to symptom check all the time.

hopeful31 · 06/01/2019 21:04

I've been testing maybe too often lol but I'm going to do a first response in the morning. How's things with u
