TTC Thread #2

@Peach1204 what's the Feb babies group called?

Thanks Peach I will definitely jump over!! I now have three tests as I didn't believe the first!!
On father's Day too!!!!

@Rocky89 oh my god! Congratulations! Amazing news! I'm on. Feb babies thread if you want to join that? They have set up a Facebook group too! This is so exciting! Xxx

@hampshirerose34 it's not fun is it?!

So I was up half the night, insomnia and feeling nauseous, NEVER had insomnia before! Period was due today...I just got a faint line!!!! Omg I'm freaking out!!!

@Rocky89 I am the same I have cramps , nausea and nipples hurt. Had a positive OPK 8 days ago did another one tonight as I have PCOS so though systems were hormonal and it is a faint line . Do I still have hi LH ? I have been googling all day to find answers so I feel your pain!

Gahhhh so I've been fine all week having no symptoms, I barely had any cm let alone ewcm during ovulation so pretty much sussed that I was out this month - I've bought clear blue opks and preseed ready for next month. I'm 13dpo, negative cheapy tests since 10dpo, no symptoms whatsoever except I've had loose bowel movements (sorry!) Yesterday and today and just now I'm suddenly starting to feel really nauseous, will someone just tell me this is AF coming?! I was all calm and ready for AF but now I find myself overwhelmed googling stuff!!

@Dreaming101 oh thanks so much. I'm still a way away from ovulating it seems as the lines on mine are quite faint. I'm on CD 12 but have a longer cycle. Could also just be that I bought crappy tests. I'll definitely get better ones if I need them next month.

@Daffodil21 thank you. that's what I was thinking, I didn't want it to think I was testing again for the first time.

Ladies, a question. I've come to the end of my first box of CB OPKs, I've got a new box. Do I use the new digital reader or my old one?

@Dreaming101 I am doing my own head in to be honest. Think it's to early to tell I wonder if anyone else has had theses sort of symptoms so early ?

@hampshirerose34 ah welcome to the dreaded TWW of symptom spotting. I absolutely hate the waiting game. I was told on here that a test can pick up a positive result anytime for 8 DPO so you could get results soon🙊

Aw good thought @ALew15 on the name change, I’ve not told people (other then my sister in law) that we are TTC as I didn’t want the pressure so have been incognito some I joined MN a few weeks back!
Thanks for the tip on the preseed! I always worry about important things leaking (TMI sorry)

@Daffodil21 I’ve just commented on the link you shared (thank you) as reading through it seems a few people are missing periods because of underlying stress. I’m hoping that’s why I’ve missed 2 now! Although I don’t feel overly stressed about the pandemic there is definitely an uneasiness about it deep down

Xx

And I've had a username change! (Previously AlisonLew15) thought I needed to be more incognito 😂

CD10 here and 5th Day of flashing smileys. Predict I'll probably ovulate in the next day or two. Been DTD every other day since AF finished.
Tried the Preseed out last night- TMI warning- very slippery (we haven't used lube before) but I think it helped... contain everything better 😂 I didn't tell DH I was going to use it as I thought he might think I was being presumptuous, he prefers to be spontaneous.

@Dreaming101 thank you.
I ovulated last Sunday DTD and have felt sick ever since with a vibrating feeling down . I have just been working up by a bad cramp head ache and feeling really sick AF isn't due yet I normally have a longer cycle 35 -40 days not sure what is going on but it's getting on my nerves did a test and negative sell it would be it's to early to tell.

Could be the metformin playing tricks with me but I have been taking that since March with mild side effects that cleared up quick.

@hampshirerose34 welcome lovely xxx

Hi all I hope it's ok to join I have PCOS and TTC my first at 34 .

@SaraVB thought I’d post a picture of today’s OPK test for you so you can see it getting lighter for when you’re testing and using the app . Looks like yesterday will be my peak this month so should ovulate today/tomorrow xxx

@Summertime1992 aw that makes sense, I’m already thinking that once we have a baby (hopefully) I won’t go back on birth control. I really underestimated how much it plays with your body!

@SaraVB
ah amazing! It’s my fave app now

Xx

@Dreaming101 I installed that app you told me about to record opks and input all the data. Been finding it really helpful so far!

@Summertime1992 If they hired someone in a few months, would they need a lot of time for training? You'd probably still be at work for about 6 months after letting them know that you were pregnant... still it's really nice that you cared enough to think to let them know.

@Hopeful1712 It varies, it can come out of your system within a couple of month or it could take longer unfortunately, hopefully it wont be too long for you, but its more to say don't get discouraged if it takes a little while.

@Dreaming101 Hi no I had an implant removed over 12 month ago ( I had bad symptoms with it, and knew I want to start a family this year) prior to conceiving we where just using condoms.

@SVC11 hopefully your body is just getting back into gear and getting the hormones out of your system.

@Poppyismyfavourite I sort of wanted to tell my boss but its too early, my co worker who does the same job as me is cutting her hours in the summer for retirement and the partners are thinking of just not replacing the hours and hoping I'll pick them up and knowing am pregnant I think they would see sense and replace her hours ( and soon as its hard to recruit someone with the right skills).

@Hopeful1712 I've read that about depo too - i was on it for a couple of years then about 2 years ago switched to the progesterone-only pill.

I'm feeling fine tbh, although my boss reminded me yesterday again about the conference in January! Just checked and I'll be 37 weeks (touch wood). So I don't think i can go realistically. It's still too early to tell him though, so thinking i might just say I'd prefer to attend virtually (thank you covid for that at least). It's in a city/country I've been hundreds of times so hopefully he'll accept that.

@SVC11aw if it’s only been 4 weeks I wouldn’t worry too much. I’ve been off mine since March and am still all over the place😞
