Hi lovelies
Started actively trying this month so thought it would be nice if anyone wanted a journey buddy.

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 😂

@hopeful31 definitely sounds like it could be implantation then and if it’s stopped then that’s a great sign eeeeek got everything crossed for you x

@Lammoshay

My cycles are usually 29-33 days. The bleed happened 7dpo and it was just a light pink once. That was on Friday. I did a test this morning and it was bfn but after wards I realised that it wasn't an early detection test so I have another for tomorrow that I might try. I have been having the cramps for around 4 days but I'm not due for another week so I'm hoping that I could get my bfp! Thank you xxx

@hopeful31
How many days is your usual cycle?
Could have been an implantation bleed- when did you have it dpo? And how long did it last for? Lots of baby dust coming you way ❤️

I'm also 2dpo (I think) but I haven't properly tracked, just use the Clue app that estimates when I ovulate.
We're ttc number 2, we have an 18 month old. It was a really traumatic first year so only very recently I've been on board with trying for another so this is our first month of trying. We were fortunate for it to happen first time with no1 so I'm very naive as to how stressful and hard it can be to deal with months on end with nothing. I'm hoping that won't happen but also trying to prepare myself.
Fingers are crossed for you this month!

On a side note I have the most horrendous cramps and sore tummy and diarrhoea (sorry tmi)- feels like bellyache but not sure so just jumping in the bath see if it eases x

Me me me!
Been ttc since around September with a break as OH got cold feet! Actively since November, but have told people tgat knee we were trying that were still waiting as every time I see them they ask questions. Not that that's a bad thing but when I thought I had a faint line on a test I went to see my SIL a few days later, she announced that she as pregnant with her second, we were so excited to have little ones that would be around the same age, then my period came. I was heartbroken so now we're keeping everything on the down low!

So excited to start our family, just hope it happens soon.. like this month!

Good luck, and baby dust to all of you!

@CrossedToTheDarkSide it's so hard isn't it. Especially having the feeling of doubt there, and knowing that it might be a struggle. It took my body about 16 months to get back to normal after coming off the pill.
But we will all get through it and we will get our bfp one day when we r ready.

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 06/01/2019 17:11

Hey, nice to have a thread to share our journeys. I’m 25 and TTC for the first time. Cycle 4 atm. DH has very low sperm count but only had one analysis. Due to childhood surgery but i’m hopeful it might improve. AF due any day but is late. Although periods have been all over the place since coming off the pill 8 months ago. Feeling weird and certain that i’m gunna come on in the next few days but gunna test tomorrow just to get it confirmed so I know if I definitely am. If BFN then just wait for AF and try again next month!! It’s mentally hard going though. I keep trying not to get too hopeful as I know we will probably struggle naturally. Sad

Hi @Lammoshay
I'm 31. This is my 3rd month ttc. First timer. I'm 9DPO. A light bleed 2 days ago and cramping so I'm hopeful. Still only getting bfn tho. Worried because I've had some issues in the past with my ovaries and some other gynae issues. But trying to remain hopeful
