Too many threads and looking for friends to go through the TTC journey

@shaunab16

Ahh lush, we can be in it together!!

Yes we watched that the other day actually! It is quite good for that, explained what we weren’t sure on!

Xx

@MrsH0692 Ooo you're are exactly the same as me then, due the 15thish. Absolutely, well time will tell we just need to hang in there haha.

Also, has anyone watched 'sex explained' on Netflix? I watched it with my OH the other night and it was really good at explaining the whole ovulation and getting pregnant process. My BF said he actually learnt alot from it and helped him understand it all rather than just DTD.. worth a watch!

@shaunab16

Another week to go. I feel a bit run down at the mo and sicky, I know it can’t be a symptom but doesn’t stop you thinking it haha!

Xx

@MrsH0692 Oh god I feel the pain, how long have you got left? I've picked up on a few symptoms but trying not to read into them. Has anyone experienced like a metal taste in their mouth in the mornings or is it just me?

@myttcjourney how's your wait going?

xx

Anyone else feel like time stops when it’s the TWW 🤣

Note to self- must not test

I’m taking this month off. I’m taking higher dose of l-methylfolate (folate) and starting Myo Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol with Vitex. Supposedly helps with eggs quality. Keep finger crossed.

AF has finally finished! I’m curious to see what CD people start using OPKs?

Thank you for reply @Scheyla. Sorry to hear about your chemical miscarriage too. Its reassuring to have someone in the same boat.
Let's keep fingers crossed next time & pray for a sticky little bean 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@peachypetite how long have you been trying for?
I'm the same I'm going out my mind , I just need to chill out. I have been trying since September. So a few months really.
Xx

Hi I had a chemical miscarriage 2 weeks ago. I had 4 positive pregnancy test, and a week later I got my period. I had tender breast, cravings. All the symptoms went away 2 days before my period. Sorry about your chemical miscarriage. Hopefully next time we’ll stay pregnant.

finished my period so look forward to having lots of sex with DH again. I haven’t even been Ttc that long but just found out a close friend is pregnant. I admit I felt a bit jealous. How on earth do people cope when they’ve been trying for ages.

Hi all... I've not been here for a few days so just an update. I got 4 days of faint positives on 13-16 dpo but all faint and got getting stronger so I waited 48hrs and tested this morning at 18dpo with a BFN ☹️
I feel quite sad that this faint positive ended up as what seems to be a chemical even though it was only our 1st month and early days...

I'm now just waiting for af to arrive. She hasn't yet, currently 5 days late.

Can I ask - anyone who's had a chemical - how long was it before af arrived?

Also early pregnancy symptoms, I've had sore, slightly larger boobs - when do they stop with a chemical? I had my BFN this morning but still aching. It's not a symptom I usually get pre af so interested to see when my bras will be comfortable again.

And in the slightest despiration, had anyone had a faint positive that's turned into a negative, only for you to actually be pregnant after all?? (I don't know why I'm asking but I had to).

How is everyone doing? X

Hey all! I'm new here and just come off the pill... been on it for years so hoping my body adjusts back without too many problems..

@MrsH0692 that sounds like ovulation pain to me. I suffer with this and I find ovulation pain much worse than af cramps. With ovulation pain for me it sometimes hurts so bad I can't sit down. My best tioa. Would be a hot bath which always soothes the pain and then a hot water bottle or wheat pack on your tummy or back (although I sometimes sit in my wheat pack and that's really soothing too.)
For. Me it tends to last a few hours to 1 day then stops so 🤞🏻it won't last too long for you. X

Yes I’d say that’s how I would describe it I suppose. Horrible either way. Feel so protective and anxious just don’t want AF to come 😩 or anything other than a BFP 😂

@mrsH0692 my AF pains are more like a powerful dull ache but when I have ovulation pains they are similar but more sharp? So sorry if that’s no help but sounds like it may be ovulation pains to me!

Really suffering this evening with stomach pain, feel really uncomfortable like my AF is about to turn up (surely not possible when my OPK was positive today). I’ve never experienced ovulation pain that I can remember as have been on the pill for 15 years. Is that what it feels like? AF pains?

Sorry for all the questions. Feel very sensitive at the moment and like I might just cry 🤣🤣🤣

@shaunab16 ahh the dreaded TWW. That’s actually worse than AF then waiting for fertile window! I don’t even know what I can do to occupy my mind? All I think about is TTC.

@FirsttimeTTC I am the exact same! AF is due on the 15th and I have recently bought a first response test which can pick up from 6 days before AF... I'm literally on the countdown. My boobs have been so tender the last few days and my moods are all over the place.

Am I the only person who feels like when AF is here, it is the longest few days of your life? I’m SO ready to start baby dancing as much as we can try our best for this month.

Yes.. I am a very impatient person

Hi everyone !
I'm currently in the Tww and due on 9th. No pregnancy symptoms at all... but is it possible to be pregnant with no symptoms? Really hoping this is our month.
With regards to the OPKs, my doc said their a waste of time but I suppose if you do them properly their not. I personally haven't got loads of time to keep weeing on a stick and will just make me obsessive. Just been trying to have sex every other day throughout the cycle and hoping for the best. Keep feeling like it's never going to happen though!
Is anyone else temp charting ? I am going to start doing that with the next cycle, is it worth doing?

@inkdmama don't trust the scanner apps, I added the same text pic 5 times and got some high some peak readings

It needs to be darker, as dark or very close to the colour of the test line which yours is 😊

@EithneBlue definitely agree, can miss it so easily. Mine can go from negative to positive in 2 hours!

@Inkdmama To be fair, I think unless you pee on those literally once an hour, every day it is possible to miss a true positive. You might have caught that second one on the upswing or downswing and if you had tested an hour earlier or later, may have got
a different result. If you have been DTD regularly throughout that high time (as you have) you've given yourself a very good chance to concieve :-)

@myttcjourney just put my results in a scanner app and both came back as high but not peak.. looks like I've not been successful this month 😓

@inkdmama the first pic doesn't look positive to me, the 2nd one does xx
