TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

Which would make this cycle 26 days (previous 2 were 32 and 34)

Hey all

Just wondered if anyone who NEVER spots has had spotting when TTC.

I am hoping it is IB, as I never spot, but I suspect it's my body fu**ing with me as it seems to like to do when TTC 😂

Definite period pain now 😢

Based on last 2 cycles another week yet

Hope you have a good holiday @Katie1109 where you off to?

Hi everyone, I am TTC my first baby also, I’m 2 dpi/DI. First time on Mumsnet but this TWW is a real pain in the bum! Xx

Yesterday must have been not test Damn this stupid keyboard

Oh and my temp went back up this morning so test must have just been a glitch

Oh @falkor32 😢

Another Bfn for me, no more spotting but still got cramps. I'm now 15dpo (cd27)

Well CD1 today, AF arrived this morning as I thought 🙄 .... had a crazy dream last night too that husband had a sperm analysis done and it was not a good result! Thanks brain 🤦🏻‍♀️

Treated myself on Amazon last night to a BBT thermometer 😂, not sure if that was a good decision or not!?

Next fertile window is when when have family visiting, not sure how to get around that one - anyone got any tips?

@Nicecupofcoco Thank you hun ❤️. I feel okay so far just tired and on and off nausea. I do keep thinking I'm going to come on and check at times but so far so good!
Awwh why you scared babe? It's going to be amazing to see your little peanut!!

@Makeafamily19 I'm sorry to hear that! 😔. Every month is so gutting isn't it especially when you think you've done everything right and that you can. But hopefully your relaxed approach will work too! Don't worry about dtd as much as you can, we only dtd once. I was so much more relaxed this month and had no symptoms dpo wise other then back pain and feeling like I was coming down with something 🤷.

@flossy12 Hun!!! 💓. Thank you so much! 😘.

Awwh your little peanut! 😍. I bet that was such an amazing experience. How are you feeling?

@Gigi318 Thanks Hun ❤️😊

@claireb707 thank you sweetheart ☺️

@Gigi318 I'm doing alright still slightly sick and not being able to stomach a great deal but hoping it will improve soon x

Congratulations Hewie that's great news.
AF arrived yesterday for me. I'm ok about it so I can plan my cycles more regularly from here.

Spotting has stopped so maybe it's not all over, see what my temp etc does tomorrow

@Hewie30 congratulations lovely! Sorry I've not been on much, I have tried to keep reading when I can though! Hope your feeling OK?
I'm 10 weeks 2 days now. Have my scan booked for middle of November, but feeling nervous about it. Fingers crossed for bfps for you all!

We’ve been trying since June so 6 cycles and I introduced CB digits OPKs in July ...

Back at ya lovely

@claireb707 sending you a virtual hug

I've not been trying long but I'm 14dpo today and yet another Bfn for me too this morning. So I know how you feel

@claireb707 @Makeafamily19 thank you for your understanding.

I know I’m not out till AF arrives but my FRER was stark white this morning and I would’ve though if I was pregnant at this point it my cycle something, even a faint line would’ve shown up. Had no signs of implantation or any spotting since ovulation ...

@falkor32 I feel exactly the same. I cried so much last night (DH was out). I'm trying so hard to hold it together today. I get very down as part of PMS anyway so this just makes it 100 times worse. My head is so full of tension I feel like I'm going to explode. Keep telling myself it just takes longer for some people but then there's that part of my brain that's saying what if it never happens?? My Nan told me the other day it took 2 years to conceive her 1st and she has 4 kids so that gave me hope. But I don't want to wait that long 😩

We will feel better in a few days I'm sure, it's always shit the first week of a new cycle.

Hope you are feeling ok @Gigi318 nice to hear from you. I think I'm going to stay off Mumsnet this cycle and 'try' and forget about it a bit.

But you arent out till period arrives...

Oh @falkor32 😚😢

I feel so fed up to be honest 😔 sorry to be so mopey when there’s some wonderful positive news from you other lovely ladies.

I tried so hard to relax this month, not to symptom spot, obsess on the TTC forums and held of as long as possible to test ... we timed dtd again this month using OPK’s and managed it two days before, the day before and on ovulation day.

I feel like every month/cycle that goes past I lose more hope that I’m never going to be a mum. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, my heart aches with longing. I have hardly any friends, the ones I do are either pregnant or having their second. I feel so lonely within no one to turn too.

Not sure how I m feeling at the moment, a little numb considering how much I thought this could be it with all the symptoms I've had but then again I would ha e been very lucky to get caught this early in trying. It is only our 2nd full month off the pill, I am 40 and I have thyroid issues.

It's still not definitely over yet so there is still that glimmer though
