@MrsTtobe aw how lovely 😊 not the thrush part the OH crying I mean.
I'm all good expecting ovulation in the next few days so been getting down to business 😆

@Jonesbabynumber1 good luck for tomorrow evening crossed for you, I'm good thanks, just dtd as much as possible.

MrsTtobe · 23/02/2020 21:15

@Jonesbabynumber1 thank you so much. Sending you all the luck in the world. 🙏 How long have you been ttc? Dont worry too much about not feeling any different. I felt more 'pregnant' last month when I had a negative than this month. Don't really feel anything out of the ordinary.

MrsCl19 · 23/02/2020 20:29

@Jonesbabynumber1 sending lots and lots of baby dust for you in the morning 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

And yes told OH 😊 he cried (happy tears I hope) just doesn't feel real yet

MrsTtobe · 23/02/2020 15:40

@dizzy85 I'm ok thank you. Feel like I've got thrush coming on though which I hardly ever get and the worry has set in now. Still no nausea and 1st day of last period was Jan 24th so think that makes me 4+3.

How are you doing lovely?

dizzy85 · 23/02/2020 14:26

@MrsTtobe how are you doing? Have you told your OH yet?

@ceebee21 @Jonesbabynumber1 how are you both doing?

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 12:24

@MrsCl19 aww how lovely. Did you say you came off pill in Oct aswell? How strange.
I've just worked it out on the calendar. It's saying Oct 31st! A Halloween baby! ❤

MrsCl19 · 21/02/2020 12:20

@MrsTtobe mine was 2-3 yesterday also so we probably will be due around the same time!

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 12:16

@MrsCl19 thank you lovely 😘 it says 2-3 weeks. How strange that I've told women I've never met and yet my poor OH is working away on a building site without a clue ❤

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 12:15

@dizzy85 thank you so so much. Im still just sitting here in shock looking at it. I just can't believe it. I really it wasnt going to happen. Been diagnosed with low B12 so having to have injections for that so maybe that has helped? I also started taking vitamin b complex from Holland and Barrett last month.

MrsCl19 · 21/02/2020 12:12

@MrsTtobe that's fab news congratulations!

dizzy85 · 21/02/2020 12:08

@MrsCl19 glad your feeling better, just try to relax and enjoy it I know it's stressful but be positive and I'm sure everything will be good😊

@MrsTtobe congratulations on your bfp how lovey 🥰

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 11:47

@MrsCl19 so I popped out to get a test. I couldn't resist so did it about 5 minutes ago... and it's positive. 🙏❤ I'm crying and my OH hasn't got a clue. Every month we've been tying I've felt 'pregnant ' but this month nothing at all really. Boobs aren't particularly sore, don't feel nauseous. Just had a break out and headache.
Thank you for your good luck... it seems to have worked. ❤

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 18:33

Thank you will keep you up to date 🙏

MrsCl19 · 20/02/2020 17:53

@MrsTtobe I'm rubbish at remembering who I've spoken to 🤣

Good way to be! I have my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

And thank you!

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 16:48

@MrsCl19 thank you. I think I spoke to you last month. I remember we both came off pill at the same time. No I don't track ovulation because I think that would be no good for my anxiety, we just dtd every other day at least. Im exhausted 🤣
Im going to wait this time. Last month I was convinced and the first time I've taken a test since we've been ttc so it was horrible for me and OH so being patient this time. He has no idea of my cycle so that helps. Congratulations on your wonderful baby news ❤

MrsCl19 · 20/02/2020 16:37

@dizzy85 it really is a nightmare! I'm feeling a lot better rang midwives Monday still waiting on a call back... just wanna get these first 12 weeks done!

@Tbug lots and lots of luck for tbf future x

@MrsTtobe sending baby dust! Will you test or wait to see if you come on? Do you track ovulation

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 16:22

Hi, hope you don't mind me dropping in but going mad not talking to anyone and don't want to tell my OH because he was so disappointed last month! ☹
Been ttc since Oct 19 so about 5 months but no luck so far. Last month I really felt 'pregnant' so took a test on day 28 of a usual 26 day ish cycle but was negative and came on the next day, cd 29. This month, we're on cd 28 again and I haven't even mentioned symptoms to OH through fear of getting his hopes up again but no signs of AF as yet, boobs are heavy but not sore, I've got terrible wind 🙈 Tmi! Sorry! I broke out in spots on my chin about 8 days ago which I never do usually.
Really want to talk to OH but he's really not great at hiding how gutted he is every month. 😥 Wish me luck ladies and sorry for essay... I feel better now 🤣

dizzy85 · 20/02/2020 15:55

@MrsCl19 I'm the same had it since I was young and on and off the iron tablets but it always up and down too it's such a pain it can really take it out of you sometimes can't it. How are you feeling with your bfp?
@ceebee21 I had enough today coz this last week or so I've been feeling terrible, emotionally up and down, headaches feeling sick and tired and no appetite so I managed to get a phone consultation with the dr and told him everything he said it's most likely my hormones trying to settle back down 😭 it's bad enough having the cp let alone having to wait to feel normal again after. He did say if it's not settled in 3-5 days come in for blood test. How did you find out about your thyroid problem did you have symptoms? I just feel like my whole system's out of balance.
I'll have a look into that medichecks coz I'm really curious if my progesterone is low too.

@Tbug aww Thankyou, I wish you lots of luck and fun times with doing your degree and when the time is right for you to try again I hope it happens first time, lots of happiness and baby dust for your future bfps too ❤️ take care xxx

Tbug · 20/02/2020 10:13

Hey guys, hope you're all doing okay! I've decided to try again in a year or 2, as I needed to be pregnant by now to fit around my degree so I think I'm going to go to the docs just to rule out any reasons I haven't fallen pregnant. I hope you all get your positives and when you do, have the healthiest pregnancies and babies ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you all the world of happiness 😘😘

ceebee21 · 19/02/2020 20:27

Hi @dizzy85 definitely do, hopefully you don’t have Another, but at least if you do you will get referred.

After this last one I had a full blood count, but nothing else..I have an under active thyroid which I am convinced is causing my issues; I am on thyroxine and it is constantly being checked atm...just had a blood test today.

I got a private progesterone test which did seem a bit low tbh, but not ridiculously low to be too concerning.

I use medichecks, they’re really good xx

MrsCl19 · 19/02/2020 20:01

@Jonesbabynumber1 @dizzy85 I get the tablets and my levels stay up then I seem to get busy and run down and then they drop I've suffered since I was young but I'm not a massive red meat eater but do eat veg so guess I don't get much naturally... other than that no explanation

dizzy85 · 19/02/2020 19:30

@MrsCl19 @Jonesbabynumber1 ferrous sulphate are the worst aren't they, it is weird they've not given me a reason my dr said could be because of my periods which I find hard to believe as otherwise surely every woman would be anaemic, have they said why for you?

@ceebee21 it is really shit. I have a drs at the end of the month for something else so I'll mention it to him so he can log it coz that'll be my 2nd too now after the mmc aswell.
Have you ever had your hormones tested? I really want to get a full hormone test but the drs just aren't interested.
