7 months ttc (cont of 6 months ttc)

Whoop! @Hoping41
Bfn for me at 13dpo...onto cycle 10 on Friday 😫

Morning ladies,

I feel like I carry most of the worry and effort with the whole TTC journey. DH just needs to DTD at the right time and even he doesn't really know when that is (he has a rough idea haha). I do hide a lot from him though as I don't want to take all the fun out of it or put more pressure on him. That's totally down to me though and I should probably share more.

I am 9dpo and getting to the stage where I have the fear of going to be toilet. If I see spotting I feel like I'll know I'm out because my AF always starts with spotting. Normally a few days later than this but still the anxiety is creeping in. Nothing yet. 🤞

I don't have anything in the way of symptoms tbh. I have noted a few things but they can all be easily explained in other ways. Damn the TWW and making us wonder about every single thing and sending us crazy 😂🙈

Finally managed to join the fb group 🙃

@aokbaby that's so strange I never get it, body doing weird things as usual just to keep things interesting! Af was normal but a bit lighter than usual.

@Kitttycatt sounds positive, hopefully you'll get you bfp soon 💕

@Fifol yea I sometimes get spotting after af, it finished there on sat and I had spotting on monday, not much just a little brown discharge. Was your af heavy or light before it?

I've just joined the fb group :)

@KK251289 I feel like I'm always used to the next one! I spend a fortune on ovulation, I think it'll take a month or too to trust not doing opks when I think I am ovulating, but it'll be nice to not have to bbt every morn and scrutinise it!

@AnxiousAnnie86 thats a good point, I'll definitely have a look on ebay now, prepare for next month. I didnt even think, I think I'm just so used to ordering ovulation tests, pills etc as soon alas AF arrives not used to being this in front for next month

@KK251289 yeah I know I'm hoping it won't be needed, but I honestly won't care if I have wasted the money if I don't need it.... I just wanted to get it so I had it for cycle day one.... if you do get one look on eBay I paid half the retail xx

@Kitttycatt which pregnancy tests are you using? It could be that the tests might not be picking up the hormone. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm so tempted to get an AVA bracelet, its really helpful the info you sent. Fingers crossed I won't need to order one

@Fifol definitely keep an eye on it if it's new to you. It's gone by cd7 for me but everyone's different. Could also be caused by too much sex 🙈 hitting your cervix etc so defo keep an eye!

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying I have never had this and was starting to worry!

Yeah I always get spotting day 6 @Fifol and it's brown. It's just old blood basically. If you have an app, note it in there and you'll start to see a pattern. Flo is good for that.

@Swifty2 that's so sweet of him!

Sorry of this is tmi but yesterday I noticed a little ewcm type discharge and today I've had a little bit of brown spotting and some brown tinged ewcm. Af has been finished since saturday night/sunday morning. Anyone have spotting a few days after af?

@Swifty2 oh dear, that's funny. At least he tried - and you like pineapple! Yes, I couldn't do with a partner of the other extreme who was always on about it (I'm not good with pressure) but advice on how to get him to be a happy medium would be great!

No. The link isn't working at all on the app and is just taking me to a blank screen on the browser. Not to worry

@Hoping41 ahh that's good that he thought about it! My OH is like that though, he listened to what I was saying...but only to half of it because it's definitely the wrong time of the month 😂 luckily pineapple is delicious. He'll happily take supplements and he remembers every day but he would never do his own research! But he is supportive and I don't feel like the burden is all on me, he's always saying I'm too harsh on myself!
Does anyone else have any tips about getting the OH involved?

Hopefully this time it works @Hoping41

@swift2 that's great. It makes all the difference when they are actively thinking about it too. I was crying this morning to OH that it feels like I'm carrying all the stress of this and I want to at least get all the tests done to see if we can even possibly conceive but we can't until he goes for his test. Today be phoned the gp and researched vitamins to help sperm. He'll have forgotten by tomorrow 🤷🏼‍♀️ but it felt good that he'd made an effort.

@seafrontsky, I think that's totally normal. I work with kids and was with a group last week that were really rude and I was miserable! Another woman there was like 'yeah, but even the challenging ones are great because I love kids' and I just thought, jeez I don't like all kids all the time 🤣🤣

Thanks @mrscor the link isn't blue for some reason. My last link did that too

Very cute @Swifty2 🍍
I'm impressed he listens 😂 you've got a keeper there!

Evening ladies! My OH came home from shopping with a pineapple earlier 🥰 cute 😂

Sorry guys for the late reply! I have opened the group again for those that want to join! @Seafrontsky and @Hoping41

www.facebook.com/groups/280874189631563/

Link again for those that would like the join!

Wow lots of messages to catch up on from today!

Welcome to the group @skittles2003 - I also use OPKs I like the clearblue digital which tell you your days leading up to ovulation. They do get expensive though...

@Swifty2 I don’t do bbt tracking but I’m keeping everything crossed that you get your BFP. I really feel like this group is due some...

@Seafrontsky this situation is so hard, we are all allowed to lose it at some point!!
