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

Hello!!
I am 29 and my husband is 28. We got married in Aug 2019 and have been trying ever since and nothing !
Im in the 2 ww which is torture and i am already thinking about hitting thay 10ttc mark and im terrified.
I am on vitex which lifted my progesteron from 19 to 32
Iv started timed intercourse with blood tests and they say hormones are fine
My sister in law is due next month she is 23 and i am SO jelous like green eyed monster bitter soo worried about having to go and visit.
I am miserable really and suppose just looking fir some support my husband and i decided not to discuss this with anyone else who doesbt already know i felt like we were being watched each month so its become lonely and well yeah
Hope you are all well and got the posituve !!!

@Shaunab16 ahh congratulations! What a special Christmas it will be!

How is everyone else doing with everything that’s going on?

Hi All, sorry I haven't been active, I've had one of those months where I just felt 'BLAH' if that makes sense, loads more people on social media announcing their pregnancies, it just made me so deflated.

Anyway, I was due on my period the Saturday just gone but no appearance which I thought nothing of as they've been either 2 days early or late the past few months. So today is my 3rd day of being late and something just told me to do a test and as you can see... it looks like I may have a Christmas baby on the way!

It's doesn't feel real at all, I'm going to take a clear blue test tomorrow morning just to put my mind at ease but I am in total shock. The lines are a lot darker than the picture xx

Thanks @Starburst12. Trying to get hubby to DTD one more time😂 just to completely cover.

Ahh @Swife so glad you managed to get a peak! And sounds like you DTD just in time.
Fingers crossed for you

So some of you may know my ttc drama. For those of you who don't...39, 2 ectopics, 1 tube, 1 early miscarriage and 1 non viable 😒. Also never had Egg White CM so I think my CM is murdering hubby's sperm😞. That being said I was gonna to spend money on Preseed and other helpers as well as speak to my OBGYN. But due to the darn virus 🦠, I just changed my diet more and started upping my vitamin C, along with back to taking prenatal vitamins and vitamin E vaginally. I'm also taking Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Fish Oil, and Flaxseed Oil. All Along with the Letorozle given to induce ovulation.

So I changed my LH Testing time to 12 in the afternoon thinking the earlier the better (I was testing at 2pm) not a good idea because I haven't been catching my peak for the last 2 cycles 😞. Tip: don't change what's not broken!

So I tested at 12 and it was super low. Around 6pm I go pee and when I wipe, I see it...this clear gel looking stuff and I'm immediately excited 😆! I check inside and YEP, sure enough it's The Illusive EGG WHITE CM🤗😁😆!! Of course we immediately did the BD. And then I say hmmm, let's test that LH and low and behold I'm in Peak!

Just when I was sure this would never be my dream met, it's small things like this that give me hope.

I was going to say 'not really' to the nausea but then almost threw up this morning, so maybe I should say nothing about that...
I did the form but missed their call and now can't get through to make the appointment - no super urgent hurry though, really: it can wait until Monday :-)

Yeh shattered and very sore boobs. So bored wfh too but I’m not sure how I’d cope commuting right now! Most nights I’ve been in bed by 9.30. Have you done self referral yet? Have you felt nauseous?

Bored. Not loving WFH - it isn't really my thing. Feeling pretty tired at the moment so at least I don't have to deal with commuting right now. Lots of video calls with friends occurring.

How are you doing?

How’s everyone?

Welcome Ali.

Hey can I please join? Need some friends right now, been TTC since August, caught in September sadly miscarried day 5 weeks. Feel like it's never going to happen I'm running out of patience. Had a blood test which my gp referred me for which came back fine.

Ovulating next weekend so just trying to focus on that and then again another TWW xxx

Thanks ladies. I’m very happy. It’s been nice having positive news. I’ve self referred to my closest hospital. Glad I can cut the GP out. They are shut and and I’d rather not involve a third party. Bit random but flo app says 5 weeks and NHS says 4 in terms of the calculators.

@peachypetite omg I am soooo happy for you!!!! 😃 congratulations!!! It’s crazy what’s going on but I agree with the others I think it’s just a precaution that we are brought into the vulnerable category, if we all look after ourself and social distance we will be fine! What fab news xxx

I... er... haven't actually filled out the form yet. I called them and they told me what to do.
Probably ought to get on that 😂

Ok I’ve been online and found a referral direct. I don’t see the point in going via GP at a time like this! @EithneBlue have yours been in touch? Is your partner allowed to go with you?

@eithneblue you can 100% blame hormones for absolutely everything! The hormones keep making me forget to do the washing so DP has to do everything 😜
I know what you mean, today was the first day I’ve woken up after 7am and that’s only because I woke up at 2 for the toilet and couldn’t get back to sleep until 4! Pre-pregnancy I loved a good lie in. Now, 7am is a treat!

Well I knew what you meant @starburst12 ;-)

Also I have never been such a morning person before in my life... awake at 0600 every day (asleep at 7pm.....). Can I blame the hormones for everything?

Try the maternity services I mean. I just woke up haha!

Mine is a direct self referral to the Midwife service. Fill in the form online, they call you back within a week with an appointment. Depends where in the country you are, I think.

@peachypetite ahh congratulations! Such wonderful news to wake up to. What a perfect day (other than the C word) to find out!
Regarding what to do next, I went to my GP surgery and asked for a midwifery referral. I had to fill in a form and then the midwife contacted me to arrange the booking appointment (at around 8 weeks). I’m not sure how things will be with you with all of this going on but maybe give them a call and ask for guidance.
So happy for you!

@eithne thanks for replying!!! I think I’ll tell my sister and my mum today. We are all really close. By phone I mean. It’s Mother’s Day!! ❤️
If my period wasn’t late I wouldn’t have had any symptoms at all other than some random pelvic pain. But I thought it could be pre period cramps.
What do I do now??? My GP is shut. The NHS website has a list of maternity services, I could call there?
I am trying to think of the positives:
Being at home and no socialising will make it much easier to avoid people.
My husband is working from home too so can look after me further down the line if I start feeling rough
Not having to worry about commuting into central London and feeling sick.

@peachypetite - that's great news! Congratulations!! :-) I feel a bit nervous and anxious too: I blame the hormones as I am not normally a worrier ;-) You should do the same.
Yeah the timing is a bit* rubbish but the RCOG advice was updated yesterday and lowers the risk a bit for those of us in the first trimester. Midwife services are also unlikely to get pulled away to cover other things. I think it'll be OK. Stay well away from any thread on here that mentions Coronavirus though: trust me. Not because it will worry you: because there's a rabbit hole of judgemental internet people that you don't want to touch with a flaming barge pole.
*a bit, in this case, is a synonym for 'spectacularly'

Life will go on. It has to: it's inside us.

Morning. I am pregnant. Line pretty strong on the test. I feel nervous and anxious but the first thing that came into my mind when I saw it was happiness. I still can’t believe our timing though, for gods sake!

@EithneBlue glad you are sorted with work, I have told my manager to and I am working from home as of Monday, I thought it was all just precautionary but the last couple of days have started to scare me so I have been given the option to work from home which is a relief. I am also anxious about pregnancy and am to checking myself all the time! I think this is pretty normal and reassuring to hear you are the same as me! It’s now even more of an anxious time but as long as we look after ourselves I am confident we will all be fine, I was told to drink lots of water and hot drinks as they flush out any viruses should we get them...stay safe everyone xxx
