@Adrianoska sailing the sea 🤣🤣 I nearly spat my drink out!!
Good luck to us all 🍀🤞
4 days til af is due and pretty sure it will come this month, don't feel any different, but then haven't got the usual pms symptoms either 🤷
Baby dust to us all.

Hello everyone! 🌸
I am 36 and have two kids from a previous marriage (12 and 6).
Now my husband and I are trying for a baby. We have been TTC for 3 months. This month is the first cycle I used ovulation sticks. It was nice to know that I ovulated yesterday or today 😁. We did BD last few days. And will do again tonight 😉.
I am drinking Proceive Max this month (50 guid?? 😅). Before that I was taking pregnacare conception... I was so disappointed that I didn't get pregnant first two cycles that I start researching like crazy! Now I am eating a big breakfast and drink organic ful fat milk 😜. I also bought Conceive Plus Lube... But we used it only once. I usually get so wet (sorry, tmi 😂) that using extra lube meant that my husband felt like he is sailing the sea 🌊🤣. My period is now due in 14 days and OMG I pray it will not arrive... 😑. My husband wants baby so much!
He is younger than me, he is 30. We both don't drink or smoke at all... I am just so paranoid that I will not be able to get pregnant... It drives me crazy! 😒😅
I ovulated yesterday or around yesterday apparently, according to the tests. We did everything that needs to be done.. Now I pray. Pray
Omg I am so scared if the time when my period arrives... 😥
Good luck to everyone 💖

Hi, my DH and I are TTC and I have PCOS. Tracking since October and finally ovulated in January (long wait). I've now had this HCG test result but does the second line count? Doesn't seem to be in the test window?

Ylladyoll · 11/02/2020 10:50

@Blackbelt thank you, I've started another thread as there seems to be a few of us late and thought it would be good to get us all on there as it may good for others who have the same problem in the future looking for answers... hopefully answers when we get them... if I mean!

Blackbelt · 11/02/2020 10:34

@Ylladyoll

That happened to me in December, was torture wondering whether I was or not. Distract yourself as much as poss and do nice things for yourself. Could be a near miss like I had, or you need to wait longer.
Just wanna say I know how it feels! Rollercoaster of emotions thinking one thing then the other!

Ylladyoll · 11/02/2020 07:09

So after 10 years of regular periods of 28/29 days, I am on CD 34, the mild cramping I've been having has now gone, BFN on frer yesterday, not sure what my next move is. I guess wait to so if it comes? I have had no symptoms of pregnancy, cramping is the only thing. Maybe I'm starting perimenipausal I'm 44 in april. I really dont know what to think or do,peeing on sticks has not really helped, as BFN and no AF is not conclusive urghhhhhhhh now the internet googling is pointing to Phantom Pregnancy but if that is it surely I would have symptoms. I hate my body atm

Blackbelt · 11/02/2020 05:58

@Babydancing2020

I know exactly what you mean. Why one month and not the next? Then you start over analysing the tiny things you might be doing differently. I agree though with the fact that you almost have to give up and it happens... but that’s so hard to do! Especially if you’re the sort of person who has been successful in areas of life that you can control, like career etc..

I just wanna say thank you for all being in the same boat. It’s so much better than feeling alone and a bit mad!

We have heard of many couple conceiving eventually.

How come some people have to wait years before getting IVF? suppose must match criteria?

butterflylove81 · 10/02/2020 23:03

I also am surrounded by pregnant friends and whilst I'm overjoyed for them I understand the jealousy as I can feel like that too

butterflylove81 · 10/02/2020 23:00

@Bunnycharm32 I'm also in the camp of being unable to concentrate at work until I know one way or the other.

Should probably introduce myself I only joined this thread the other day looking for a bit of company as I'm so nervous

I'm ttc no 3 I have two girls currently I know I should be grateful and I'm eternally in love with my girls but it doesn't take away that desire to still be pregnant again somehow although I know I'm very lucky with what I have xx

Babydancing2020 · 10/02/2020 22:59

@butterflylove81 thank u so much for comforting me. It will happen when its the right time. Fingers crossed for all of us♡

@Babydancing2020 I hope you get your bfp soon I know people who have tried for ages and when they have relaxed and almost given up it's just happened keep the faith in your body xxx

Babydancing2020 · 10/02/2020 22:44

I feel like I'm going a bit mad felt a bit sick today very bloated and gassey period not due for another 5 days had a bfn today but I sort of feel pregnant maybe I'm imagining it

Bunnycharm32 · 10/02/2020 18:18

@dobzyj and @Blackbelt 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi! I'm trying for third. I have two other children from a previous relationship but he wasn't the one (took me years to realise) and now I'm with someone who is the one and we so want a child together! The irony is I fell straightaway with both, and now, now that i really yearn to be pregnant, it's not happening!

It is so difficult to think about anything else!! I google so much, all the time.

I know four people around me, my age and older, all pregnant, and I'm jealous!

Xx

dobzyj · 10/02/2020 17:15

@Blackbelt I know that feeling xx

Sunshine1606 · 10/02/2020 16:10

@Babydancing2020 thanks, I've ordered some FRER and clear blue digitals but they are not arriving until tomorrow. I'll most likely be working my way through ics and squinting away until then. Sorry to hear you're cramping but it can mean anything so hopefully it's a good sign for you. Showering you with lots of baby dust. Xx

@Sazzy312sorry to hear of your mmcs. I really hope this is your month!

@dobzyj with my first I don't remember having any obvious symptoms other than missed period. I've been trying so hard not to symptom spot this month because it gets my hopes up and then I feel like it makes AF that even more unbearable. But... I've noticed on loads more bloated and gassy! I have recently tried to go on a vegetarian diet though so it could be down to this?? Maybe try doing a number 2 and see how you feel? Grin

Blackbelt · 10/02/2020 15:44

@Bunnycharm32
Glad I’m not the only one who struggles to think about anything else.

Can’t concentrate at work..

The irony is I’ve wanted to be a mum for about 10 yrs (wanted to wait to find Mr Right, which I have!) but I’m actually pretty terrified about all the change it will bring!

dobzyj · 10/02/2020 15:42

@Bunnycharm32 is it your first at 39?

dobzyj · 10/02/2020 15:39

Oh and cramps but wasn't sure if I just needed a number 2 haha. Sorry tmi x

dobzyj · 10/02/2020 15:38

Hey everyone, hope I'm posting in the right place and hoping anyone can help! Don't know all the abbreviations so apologies if it's really long!! For all you 1st time mums to be fingers crossed!!! For all those on their second or more then good luck as well but I need your help!

So.... I'm 39 and I ovulate around day 18. Currently on CD27 and feel strange but not massively different than if I was getting AF ( which is due sat 15th)
Main difference is CM is still there and usually it's gone by now. It's watery and slimy like egg whites a little bit but not sure if that's going to stay until AF, tender boobs and harder, bloated Tum but not struggling to go the loo, and no spotting so kinda just thinking is AF on route. Has anyone else been pregnant prior with these symptoms? Just waiting to do a test but just thought I'd ask opinions.....

Sazzy312 · 10/02/2020 15:25

Hey everyone, so nice to read everyone's comments, sorry to the people who's started af! Fingers crossed for you next month, I'm 11dpo had all good symptoms so far but feeling more cramps today so expecting to start af soon, if I don't by thursday/friday I'll take a test, this is my 12 cycle of trying after 3 mc :( the road is never smooth but makes you stronger along the way, don't give up girls

Bunnycharm32 · 10/02/2020 15:20

It's so hard isn't it blackbelt?
I've just turned 39 but remain very hopeful - you have to be I think!
But thinking about TTC consumes me!

Bunnycharm32 · 10/02/2020 15:18

Hey all! I'm new to this so I don't even know if I've posted in the right place place!
Waiting for AF in a couple of days. Had my usual pre AF spotting. And cramps, but these were slightly worse than usual pre AF ones. Spotting only appeared on closer inspection internally iykwim. Anyone have this and get BFP? I like to be hopefully until I know I'm defo our.

Blackbelt · 10/02/2020 15:15

:( sorry to hear, sucks doesn’t it? Then roll on the same old process the following month! It’s all you can do, distraction and try again. Xx
