Waiting 2 months TTC and struggling !

I know this thread is a bit zombied but just wondered how everyone is?

Im 9 weeks pregnant and feeling it not envy

I was about to ask how everyone was feeling as September is nigh!

Definitely no stressing as that won't help @MrsMeow2019

@Inthemidstofitall amazing news, congratulations!!
Hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy and the nausea goes away very soon.

@Jellybott keeping my fingers crossed for you as well

We are still waiting but I’m just waiting to hear about a promotion then we will be joining you!

Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying the bank holiday sun x

Try gin-gins from Holland and Barrett. I hate ginger with a passion but these took my sickness away so i just chewed and swallowed asap. The taste was worth not feeling sick all day! I found these better than the capsules xx

No scan date yet, but should get the letter through in the next week or so. I'll be 12 weeks at the back end of September so it should be around that time.
I'm ok ish.. no vomiting, just a sickly feeling which started about 10 days ago and hasn't left 🤣🤢 I'm having dizzy spells and have massive, sore boobs. Other than that, all good!

@Inthemidstofitall Wow, congratulations! It's great that it's happened so fast for you, you must be so excited. How are you finding it so far?

We were originally planning on trying in October, but decided to bring it forward a bit so started TTC a couple of weeks ago. AF arrived a few days ago but as it's early days I'm not complaining, it just means I get a little longer enjoying wine/cheese/all the other things I'll have to give up! I'm going to start using Clearblue digital OPKs in a week or 2, so I guess then it'll feel like we're 'properly' trying.

How is everyone else getting on?

Congratulations @Inthemidstofitall what a super exciting time

Hope the sickness isn't too bad. Do you have a date for your scan?

Hi @MrsMeow2019 @CouscousEvaporator @AndddddHerewegoagain @MrsW9 @Jellybott
It's 'noodlesoup99'
Have name changed after deleting the app after having the coil removed because I was absolutely obsessing over reading every word on MN.
Hope you're all well and enjoying the summer.
Any news anyone?
Just wanted to update you all and let you know I'm pregnant!
We can't believe how quickly it happened. We conceived 9 days after I had my coil removed and I'm currently 7 weeks and 2 days.
Had my first midwife appointment yesterday and it's all feeling very real. Not only because of that, but because I'm sick as a pig 🤢
Just wanted to let you all know that no matter how long you've been on contraception, it can happen straight away. So I'm really hoping that all of you have some good news very soon. X

First post for me, can I join? I'm not too hot on the acronyms here either, sorry!

Feels weird even thinking about saying that I want to TTC soon, I've not been with my OH long, but we have already discussed. Part of me wants to come off the pill straight away as I have been having issues with it recently. So I think well it won't happen for months, but then immediate family members have conceived straight away so it does send me a bit panicky. I have reasons to not want to be pregnant up until January, but then what if it does take that long to happen when I do come off the pill!

Like someone said above, I've spent that many years trying to NOT get pregnant, this feels very strange to me!

How are all you TTC-ers doing?

My period has decided to throw a curveball and be 2 days long 🙄 just as I want it to be regular.. typical!

So broody

@squirrel i can't tag you for some reason but its nice to have a second timer on board!
Im on day 1 of AF. Really struggling today after being surrounded by new borns every shop i went into and ds1 seems so grown up all of a sudden 😭 however we've just spent £6k on a new kitchen so very much doubt my dh will be willing to move times forward.

@squirrelclub ah a lovely sibling for dc1 ❤️ Hopefully it will be just as easy for you this time round - completely understand about the work related reasons. It’s sensible but it makes waiting a chore!
I have been waiting for similar reasons - I am hoping for a pay increase in sept, so it makes sense to wait. (And the fact I am avoiding the due date potentially being on a wedding day where I’m a bridesmaid- this sounds like a ridiculous reason even to me!)

I had to google PGP, that sounds horrible and constant. I think my work mate had that (SPD?) -she had to walk with crutches! Totally understand the earlier may leave dates!

Also, I was thinking about the conversations I’ve had with my mum about childbirth and she said it “wasn’t that painful” 🤣 I am hoping this runs in the family 🤣

Hope you’re all having a lovely week! Nearly Friday😁

A potential second, CouscousEvaporator! Conceived DC#1 (3) after two months of trying so we were very, very fortunate. Started a new job earlier this year so need to stick it out for longer for enhanced maternity pay. Had PGP at the end of my first pregnancy and ended up signed off so want to make sure I've been there a good while in case of a reoccurrence of that. Also for various reasons I would be looking to start mat leave early around 32-34 weeks so it makes sense to delay DC#2 until I'm established in my role. That will mean not trying until early next year so that I've got at least 18 months under my belt before I go off. That's all assuming we are lucky and conceive quickly, of course. What's your situation?

@MrsMeow2019
It took 2 months of 'trying' with DS but I didn't really get too stressed out about it back then or anything. I did buy a CB fertility monitor on ebay though and fell pg first month I used it. Going to try and dig it out of the loft and see if it still works for this time around!

@squirrelclub nooo stay! I’m still waiting too!! Tell us a bit about you, are you trying for #1?
I’ll be trying for no1 in October after our holiday 😁

@catsandkid this is exciting!! Let us know how you get on! Good luck x

AF arrived early today so I'm officially On day 1 and will ttc this cycle!

Evening all! Is anyone still waiting to TTC or am I better off finding a new thread? I don't think we'll be ready to try until the new year.

Can I join!!?

AF due end of this week then we're going to start trying I'm already so excited!

This will be #2 as we've got 3yr old DS. Just want AF to hurry up so we can start!

Hi
How was everyone's weekend?
I'm due AF soon, as evidenced by the obscene amount of Reese's cups I've just eaten!! haha
Another cycle out the way :D

xx

Sorry I only just realised you replied @MrsMeow2019! We didn’t try this month as OH is more sensible than me haha

Hope you had a lovely long weekend??

@AndddddHerewegoagain glad you had a lovely holiday.

2 more months to wait for me! Ahh. I go from being excited to terrified 🤣
My friends have also been telling me about their birth injuries which might be why :(

I just feel like I need to do it before I think too much

Hi everyone. Hope you're all well. Dorset was lovely! No signal either so a tech free week. Back to reality now

Only 1 more month to go @MrsMeow2019 we can do this!

Enjoy your last summer of freedom!

My friend has just announced she's having baby number 2. Its all getting a bit real!
