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 😂

Thanks @Lammoshay :)
Stomach is very crampy today and back hurts alot but i have been cleaning my bedroom, well in advance of the little arrival so that probably doesnt help.

I noticed my areolas had gone bigger and darker, blue veins and dark circles round my areolas too, i also had a banging headache and cramps and backache. All my internet cheapies were saying BFN but i knew they werent right so bought a 2 pack of frer and did one yesterday morning when my ovia app said to test and boom a BFP!!

So excited! Not completely kicked in yet, waiting for my af date (tomorrow) to come and go and take my remaining frer on sunday for, hopefully, a darker line then it will be REAL!

Fingers crossed SMEP works for you and @hopeful31 this month, i am staying around as i want to share things with you and see you both get your BFP's :)

Thanks @Lammoshay
I'm gutted but at least it came early this year and not late. So I know and can get on it with.
I can't wait to hear about how ur smep works out. Think we r giving it a go next

so start on day 8? Dtd every 2 days until u get a positive? Then 3 days in a row? Skip a day and one for luck. Is that how u did it ??

@Hopeful
So far so good- every other day and now got the next 3 days on the trot so glad it’s fallen at the weekend or poor hubby would be having a heart attack 😂🙈😂

I got an unclear test yesterday. Looked like there might have been a line. But bfn this morning and some brown spotting and cramping this afternoon so af is on her way I think.

@Lammoshay how is smep working out ??

ImMeantToBeWorking · 22/02/2019 13:20

@lammoshay - enjoy Wink

Welcome to all the new lovely ladies!!

Haven't be on in a few days as I was dying with a flu, for all the meds I have been taking lately it is lucky I had a BFN if I am honest!

@Louise and @Hopeful any updates on BFP for us?? Grin

Louise392 · 20/02/2019 09:21

@lammoshay enjoy! Thanks I hope so, these IC's one step are rubbish, waiting on my FRER to come :)

Hi @Farukh11 Welcome to the madness that is symptom spotting and peeing on sticks lol Good luck with your TTC :)

hopeful31 · 20/02/2019 08:19

Good luck! @Farukh11 hopefully u get ur bfp quickly x

Farukh11 · 20/02/2019 08:12

Got the folic acid ready to go - so track my period with two apps - including Natural cycles which tells you ovulation more accurately...I also bought an ovulation kit...

I need to take it slowly...I have just heard do many heartbreaking stories So I am preparing for the worst

hopeful31 · 20/02/2019 08:08

Hi @Farukh11 , take some folic acid. Do u track ovulation etc? I use fertility friend and I think it's really good

Farukh11 · 20/02/2019 07:31

Hi girls,

I am new here.

I am 24 - turning 25 in September.

I am adopted so this baby will be my very first blood relative (scary).

We haven't been TTC yet - Husband and I got married last year.

We are both fairly young but since I am wanting to expand my family and we are in a very comfortable financial place - I thought why not! It has been my dream since I was little.

Last period was delayed by 9 days - had brown spotting - tingling breasts and was incredibly sure that it happened - but no luck (however we were not trying at this point).

Cycle is 28 days - no period pain - only ovulation discomfort - never delayed (apart from last time) and pretty standard 5-6 days.

Any tips for starting? Any ways to keep myself sane - I am incredibly impatient...

hopeful31 · 20/02/2019 07:16

@Lammoshay fingers crossed for u this month. Ok I tested this morning. I think it's bfn. But when I shine a light under it, I think I see something. But maybe it's my eyes. I'll just wait and test either tonight or tomorrow.

I know how you feel @hopeful31, last month i was the same and was convinced i was. I have only been trying for 2 cycles and feel like giving up if this hasnt worked this month as we have dtd so many times i cant see how we couldnt have made a baby.
