Anyone else TTC this month want to join me?

Starting to feel really down in the dumps about all this TTC stuff. Really just assumed something would have happened by now as we have got pregnant 3 times easily within a couple of months of trying.

I have 2 healthy children but unfortunately pregnancy number 3 ended in a miscarriage. Very upsetting and despite finding out we were pregnant being a total shock we'd come round to the idea and were really happy.

I came off the implant as it was causing havoc with irregular bleeding hence it being a surprise!

Since that and the miscarriage my cycles have been strange but AF has been and gone this month and it seemed as though things were a little more "back to normal" so I'm trying to stay super positive and think this is my month!! Anyone else care to join me?

Hi .@queenqueenqueen how are you?

Nothing really happening here, have had some spotting today but difficult to know what that means when I haven't had a proper cycle yet 🙈

I've just heard about SMEP and pre-seed so gonna try it this month and see how it works out.

HallowsandHorcruxes · 03/03/2019 09:22

Thank you @queenqueenqueen it was an incredibly difficult time but had to keep looking at the silver lining - we know now that we are able to get pregnant and we were just really unlucky on this occasion. Avoided surgery and the loss of a tube so that was another thing. Keen to get trying again now.

Has anyone else tried the SMEP? I got pregnant the first cycle that we really tried it properly so I definitely want to try that again.

mrsawhite · 03/03/2019 09:15

@queenqueenqueen due on next Saturday. So I think it's still a bit early!

Ferii · 03/03/2019 09:13

Hi, can I join? Smile I'm 35 TTC our first and just started cycle 4 after having IUS removed in Nov 2018. Thought I'd give ovulation tests a go this month to check something's actually happening in there!

@mrsawhite when can you test?

@HallowsandHorcruxes sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancy that must have been hard. I lost what would have been our third baby in September, and that was horrible, but my 2 children help to get me through it, I'm honestly not sure how I would have coped if it had been my first. My friend had an ectopic and went on go have a healthy baby quite soon after, sending you loads of luck 🍀xx

@wrexhambuxom is that this month? Are you now in the TWW?

I'm feeling pretty confident that I am not this month. I didn't OPK or chart or anything we just BD pretty much every other day from day 5 up until day 16 😂 but weirdly I got EWCM about 3 days after I should have ovulated according to my app (3 days after we stop BDing 🤦🏻‍♀) just totally frustrating, got a feeling it's another month out for us. Was trying to stay positive thinking this was our month but now totally deflated and wondering what the hell is going on with my stupid body? Is this the universe telling me 2 children is it for me? Feeling totally fed up ☹️☹️☹️

I'm in; my struggle is that with DF's work, he's gone for periods at a time, and it's been a while since he has been around, and that we have BD at the exact 5 or 6 days that we should. Without knowing the exact time and date of ovulation, we've done it a few days before, couple days before, day of.

Hi guys, do you mind if I join?

I'm back to cycle 1 again after my first pregnancy was found to be ectopic in December Sad

It's taken until last week for the pregnancy hormones to be completely out of my system so tracking and testing again to see where I'm at.

DH and I looked back at my tracking app and it was so interesting to see what the difference was for the cycle I conceived compared to previous 7 of so!

Good luck to everyone TTC Thanks

mrsawhite · 02/03/2019 17:55

I’m TTC #1, can I join? Smile I’ve just come off the cerelle pill 5 and a half weeks ago and no period yet so my body is all over the shop!

mrsawhite · 22/02/2019 20:38

It was a bit alarming! I had the copper coil. It was fine I suppose for 3 years. Although periods were horrendous. Can't believe how much shorter they are now!

This is our 6th cycle since the miscarriage but 3 of my periods were so weird bled for 7 days with some spotting in between no positive OPKs so I don't think I should even count them

Omg @mrsawhite that sounds horrendous 🙊

Ive had the implant twice, first time amazing and 2nd time it was awful, honestly blame it for so many problems ☹️
Good luck!!

Hello!

We are also TTC. On second cycle. DH works at sea which doesn't help our cause! I also had the implant. Hated it. Periods are much shorter now. Mine actually left my body of its on accord which was awful!

In fertile window now. So fingers crossed! Let's all have good news soon!

amehh · 22/02/2019 08:07

I saw people had done them but that it was likely late ov. I honestly don't know what I was thinking and then suddenly I was weeing on one! Haha

I am really excited (so if DH, more than me maybe) and really surprised as we only managed to dtd on O-2 and O+1 days so thought there was no way.

Woop get started early! I've got my FX for you :)

EEK!! WOW!! You must be so pleased!! Never heard that about OPKs to test pregnancy??

Well I have short cycles, so already been DTD!! Haha going to keep going every other day until end of next week 😂

amehh · 22/02/2019 07:51

@queenqueenqueen oh my god, I forgot to update but I turned into a crazy person on Weds (12dpo) and peed on an opk which was nearly positive, bought some pg tests and then peed on the Poundland one in the evening, not expecting anything, and got a bfp! Did a FRER yesterday and a superdrug today and still bfps and I have One more FRER for tomorrow since I'll have officially missed my AF then (it's due today)

Literally been in shock since!

Wishing you luck, you must be heading to fertile week next week?

How are you @MillyMoo25?

Thanks hun I’m not too sure what’s going on this month I’ve been having faint positives since Thursday but had some dark brown spotting today and yesterday so not sure what is happening just got to wait it out x

Ahh really sorry to hear that @millymoo25 😔 and 17 months is a long time I'm sure that's been really hard. Hope you hear some good news really soon!!

@amehh Ive been there, every ache and pain I was diagosing myself with all sorts, PCOS, Fibroids, cancer 🤦🏻‍♀🙈😲... Bloody Dr google!! When I think in all honesty, my body just needed a bit of time to get over coming off the implant and recover from the bad time I had with it and then of course the miscarriage 😔 quite a lot in a short space of time when you think about it. But as I said this is first month my cycle feels more like what I was used to before all this so I'm trying to stay v positive!!!

Good luck everyone xx
