TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

@CAG14 no I wouldn't be due on for another 10-14 days. This spotting has been off and on since the 6th which was week after my last period ended. Absolutely sick of it lol

@squidlady 🤞🤞🤞

@CAG14 I always think no symptoms must be good, as Lots Of Symptoms always seems to equal BFN!

Starting to be convinced I feel a bit different now though... strange pains on one side and what I'm sure is a metallic taste... got a FRER to test with in the morning when I'll be 11dpo! Need to start psyching myself up for more disappointment...

Bleeding back today.. Wondering when I decide this is a period not heavy spotting and mark it as CD1 in my tracker apps 🙄

@CAG14 mine were so sore when pregnant so last month I was constantly grabbing them to see if there was any pain lol we are crazy

@squidlady I know if only it was that easy!! I feel like I’ve probably been a bit naive about it all because of that.

@LT103 Oh that's great to know we're in practically the same boat! Same, feel like I'm learning more about my body and fertility all the time (which does make me a bit furious at my seemingly countless friends who got PG first time and didn’t end up basically doing a degree in conception!!)

Welcome @squidlady. We’re similar. Came off pill in January but only been properly trying last couple of months. I fee I know a bit more about my cycle now I’m properly trying just hope we all get our bfp soon

@Stabal @msunflower sorry to hear about things. I think a loss must be hard whenever it happens!
@LMA27 sorry about af. Def takes a couple of day’s to get back on track so just do what you need to relax and be kind to yourself!

This cycle is going fast I feel. I’m now cd10 though just been told oh is away for work 2 days next week which will most likely fall on my day before and day of ovulation 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not much I can do. Hopefully the earlier days before ovulation will be enough!!!

Thanks for the welcomes!! Glad to be here. Sorry to read about the tough times some of you have been having

10dpo now and symptom spotting like crazy despite myself...

Hi ladies. Sorry I’ve been quiet. AF arrived this afternoon so I’ve been a bit down :(

Hope everyone’s ok, I’ve read through everyone’s messages, welcome to the newbies :)

@squidlady I’ll be honest when I read your message it felt like I was reading about myself to a point haha also 31 and TTC baby no1, we started around end of April and didn’t start tracking properly until this cycle. my OH prefers the no pressure approach, but I’m thinking im going to talk him round to SMEP and I’ll be jumping on the pineapple core wagon! Haha totally feel the same about as each month passes the panic increases whether it will ever happen...

At least I’ve been able to have a beer tonight, silver lining haha

@Stabal really sorry to hear you think you had a chemical, but it does make you feel a bit more hope if the myth is true 🤞🏻

Hello lovely ladies! Hoping I might be able to join?

I'm 31 and TTC baby no.1.

DP and were NTNP from about January until 2 months ago (I was quietly obsessing though and making sure we DTD around what I thought was my fertile window, so it did feel like trying!) - and are now on our second cycle of Proper TTC (OPKs, pre-seed, supplements, pineapple cores... you name it!)

I’m currently 9dpo and feel pretty much exactly how I usually do at this time (sore boobs, mild cramps, tired) except maybe a bit more dizzy and spaced out, so I’m convinced I’m not PG and feel very low and sad :( Didn’t have high hopes for this month as I’ve been off-the-scale stressed, but still.

It’s not so much being sad that I’m not pregnant THIS month, but that with every month that goes by the This Might Never Happen panic increases. I hate not knowing if it’s even possible for us. But I always feel so much better reading these forums so I thought I’d join the chat!

And I guess I’m not out til AF gets me...

@msunflower I can completely understand you feel a bit more settled, it's having an answer isn't it. I shouldn't be saying this but I'm so sure I had the chemical last month straight after the miscarriage so I think the myths of being more fertile are something to keep in mind. Especially when it took us 2 years to conceive. But just a little bit of hope 🤞

@Stabal thank you, really appreciate that! I think I would have done the same thing as you in the same situation, I'm sorry you had to go through that but it's good you had a support system around you! Just told DH about the more casual plan until AF arrives abs he agrees it's the best option for this month. Feel a bit of relief today now I have the bloods back and can move forward ☺️

@msunflower I know the feeling. We kept it so quiet for ages until we got pregnant. Now everyone is aware of our journey and that we miscarried and to be honest I'm glad of that as it stops the annoying comments. I know that wouldn't be the case for a lot of people but it's helped us being open and truthful. If you ever need a private rant just give me a message!

@CAG14 hahah exactly like me!😂so funny they must think we’re crazy.

@Stabal thank you for being such a great sounding board, we've not told anyone we are ttc so it's been a bit lonely and I appreciate it! I think I'm going to go with this happy medium whilst keeping an eye on and tracking any CM/symptoms I might have 🤞🏻

@msunflower I think that's a good idea. Trying without really trying if that makes sense. I have a feeling you've ovulated recently or about to so go with the flow and see what happens. Praying everything settles and gets back to a normal swing 🤞
