Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

I also was randomly dizzy this afternoon. Can't wait to get home

EB211 · 23/01/2020 15:38

@Sammiantha2020 very true! Its hard not to over google and worry about what the supposed "normal" is! Xx

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 13:44

@Sammiantha2020 you are very right. Hard not to think so much into it and realise that we're not all the same. How are you feeling? How long does af usually last you?

@Jenna30ttc you won’t get every symptom straight away...sure sore boobs started after the pains/twinges for me...but please remember not everyone gets every symptom!! You both are still very much in with a good chance 🤞.
I’m sure I haven’t used Clearblue digitals at all... I use cheap opk’s & track bbt - this works for me! I’ve heard both good & bad things about the ovulation kits. Try not to let it stress you out...at the end of the day aslong as you dtd enough throughout your cycle none of these things we use should matter x

Thanks @Jenna30ttc and @Sammiantha2020! :) I'm using the Clearblue digital ovulation kit, seemed to be the best one!

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 12:58

@EB211 welcome! As @Sammiantha2020 asked which tests are you using?

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 12:56

@sammiantha2020 eeeee Im too scared to believe it. I don't have the usual symptoms of dizziness or sore boobs. Though I had shooting breast pain yesterday but I'm sure I've had that before the only difference is these sharp twinges which I haven't had before. Fingers crossed I really do hope it is my month and also anyone else's @Wintergal.

@Wintergal @Jenna30ttc I don’t want to get you both too excited, but those are the feelings I had just before I found out I was pregnant 😁 I wish you both all the luck in the world.
@EB211 welcome! What kind of ovulation test is it you are using? TTC is very stressful, but you have to stick in there & it’ll happen! We’re all here if you wanna chat about anything x

Literally just started this morning

EB211 · 23/01/2020 12:07

Heya everyone, just saw this chat and thought I'd say hi!

I've just started using the ovulation kit on Friday, I've had 6 high fertility days so far, I'm on cycle day 12 and its already driving me a bit mad, not sure how i'll do this for the however many months it will take. I've never really paid attention to when I ovulate and now i'm googling everything and anything!!

We've tried to avoid this for the last 6 years and now we've made the decision to try, I want it to happen straight away!

All my friends have babies already too and I don't really want to discuss it with them! x

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 11:27

@Wintergal how long have you had them?

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 11:15

That's what I am having on my left

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 11:13

@Wintergal actually now I'm getting sharp twinges on the right hand side of my stomach. 🤔 I've had this for the last two days.

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 10:58

@Wintergal today I have no pains but I have a water infection 😩. No idea what's going on. It may not be ovulation pains could be cramps? When are you planning to test

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 10:34

So this morning I had sharp stabbing pains like ovulation pains so now I am very confused!

Wintergal · 22/01/2020 21:57

Am from Glasgow. It's a good city I love it

Jenna30ttc · 22/01/2020 21:56

@Wintergal where in Scotland are you from? Ive been to Edinburgh which I loved. Would really like to go to Inverness and Glasgow actually.

Jenna30ttc · 22/01/2020 21:52

@sammiantha2020 she studied biomedical science but she's now an auditor for a finance company which is totally random. I did that, I studied health and social care at uni and now i work in finance. 😂. Im soon to be 31 @Wintergal my dh is taking me to Moffat for a long weekend.
