Hi All

I’m about to start my TTC journey for baby number 2 and I am so so so so excited. 😁 is anyone else starting their TTC journey too? Would love to have some ladies in the same boat. ā˜ŗļø

Baby dust to you all for the new year šŸ’–

@DizSquiz oh no wish I read that before I started taking them. I stopped a week ago, how annoying :(

@Sparkles512 sorry to hear that. Hoping we all get a BFP soon

Sparkles512 · 29/01/2021 19:27

Urgh another BFN! 😭

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon šŸ¤ž

DizSquiz · 29/01/2021 18:20

@LJC90

How's everyone else getting on? I'm 12 days late and still no AF and BFN other day.

I started taking pregnacare a few weeks ago and I've read reviews where people have said it delayed their period! Also cut out milk and meat a few weeks ago today so no idea if that's delayed it too??

@LJC90 hello! Yes I've read this also, I swiftly avoided pregnacare for that reason x

@MrsGee20 ive read loads of different things like it helps implantation and lowers the risk of a Mc again. just wondering if anyone has taken it while ttc x

Sparkles512 · 29/01/2021 14:29

@mrsGee20 I have some FRER arriving today not sure weather to test tonight or if its best to wait for tomorrow morning

AF is due Saturday /Sunday but my symptoms could be either PMS or a positive šŸ¤ž

MrsGee20 · 29/01/2021 14:19

@Sparkles512 I’m almost certain my AF is going to arrive today - damn. Holding off on testing for a day or two to see if it arrives. I wish the symptoms of pregnancy and periods weren’t so similar! What about you?

@Emmav2020 do you mean taking it routinely or to treat pain? I think I’ve used it once or twice - are you not meant to? Information on ttc is so confusing.

Emmav2020 · 28/01/2021 21:53

Heyy, really ramdom question but is anyone taking aspirin while ttc or soon as you had a bfp? Ive just been reading really conflicting stories and my head is baffled xx

Sparkles512 · 28/01/2021 21:34

@mrsGee20 ooh that's a good sign then!

Awh yeah I got my hope up last month and was really disheartened so I think that's why I have convinced I'm out this month.

Fingers crossed for you, when are you testing? šŸ¤ž

MrsGee20 · 28/01/2021 21:31

@Sparkles512 yes!! Im sure I read you produce more cervical mucus. I do hope so for you.

I’ve honestly ā€˜felt’ pregnant for the past couple of weeks but now I’m thinking I might have just convinced myself and it’s wishful thinking, I guess the next few days will tell!

Hopefully one of us will have some good news soon šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

Sparkles512 · 28/01/2021 20:52

@mrsGee20 oh really!? I wasn't sure if it was a period sign too?

I did have cramps around 6DPO to 8DPO and now I have back ache and a stuffy nose!

Oh best of luck for tomorrow šŸ¤ž

I might test tomorrow evening when DH is back from work but not sure if a morning test would be best on Saturday morning

MrsA9 · 28/01/2021 20:51

I'm still hanging around here, only 6dpo so far so I haven't had much to report really. Wishing you all the best of luck šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž xx

MrsGee20 · 28/01/2021 20:26

@Sparkles512 I’ve read that creamy discharge is a sign of pregnancy?

I’m testing tomorrow as long as AF doesn’t appear overnight. Good luck everyone xxx

Sparkles512 · 28/01/2021 19:39

I was hoping to test tomorrow at 12 DPO but have had clear/creamy discharge today so think I'm out this month and AF will appear over the weekend 😢

Fingers crossed for everyone testing šŸ¤ž

Emmav2020 · 26/01/2021 19:17

Im nearly 3 weeks oost MC bleeding and we have DTD since and today ive had a few pains/twinges so im either ovulating, implantation or AF is near. So at the min who knows, ill see what happens in next few days xx

pinkpirlie · 26/01/2021 18:10

Joining you all on your thread.

We are TCC #1. We are both 37.
First month trying. Got a high on my OPK today. DTD Sunday, so will DTD the next three days then break and once more for luck. Then the TWW to look forward to.

Baby dust to everyone.

Amyt92929292 · 26/01/2021 18:01

I've just had the ovary twinges I always get on cycle day 10/11 - it's interesting to notice a pattern developing now I'm paying more attention to how my body is feeling. Got lots of watery cm so hopefully I'm around the point of ovulation! We're just having sex every 2 days throughout the cycle so that there should always be sperm waiting for when the egg is ready, as for us personally it would stress us out to temp and test every day to pinpoint ovulation. We're onto month 5 now so hoping that this is the one!! I always say that this cycle I won't get my hopes up and overanalyse every twinge and symptom but I always end up googling and reading all the forums for anything that can give me hope. It's a strange time TTC isn't it!

Starfishh · 26/01/2021 02:21

Hey Everyone,

I’m currently 8dpo and when I was 6dpo I woke up in an awful mood feeling very stiff and really strong back Cramps ( felt like I was ovulating again ). I have had 3 chemical pregnancy’s since March last year and this time it feels different. I’m reading all these symptoms on Google and it’s so confusing. I’m just wondering if anyone is having the same symptoms as me as I still feel a little cramping and pinching. Trying to hard not to get my hopes up but at the same time I’m extremely eager for 10dpo to come so I can take a test

Any guidance or advice ladies Smile ?

LJC90 · 25/01/2021 22:48

Hi everyone! I'm forever Googling and reading forums and find these so useful so figured I'd join in if that's okay! :) Me and my partner have been trying since September. Ever since my period has been getting later and later, now I'm 9 days late! I tested 6 days late and BFN. Dunno what's going on. Anyone elses periods keep getting later and later?

BWaiting · 25/01/2021 21:59

@MrsGee20 I don't usually feel nauseas before af. Maybe it's something I have eaten but I do feel really off tonight.
It's funny isn't it, We start noticing every little thing and analysing it. It's consuming my days!
Really hoping the week will fly by for you and you get a bfp this weekend!! Keep yourself as busy as you can ā˜ŗļøā˜ŗļø

Lcam2310 · 25/01/2021 21:46

Hi, I’m 9DPO just wondering if anyone sees anything? The more you state the more I think there’s 2 lines šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… wishful thinking !!?!

MrsGee20 · 25/01/2021 21:36

Oooh @BWaiting the nausea sounds positive! Do you normally get that?
I’ve had cervical mucus the past few days too, creamy & white (sorry if TMI!!) and I usually get a little before my period but it’s normally more egg white at this stage. But I’ve never took THAT much notice so maybe it is just the usual? It’s hard not to overthink everything isn’t it? I’m super bloated which is unlike me.
My husband won’t let me test early in case it upsets us so Friday/Saturday need to hurry up! @KLR2019 I didn’t do any ovulation tests (opks?) so not sure re DPO! What about you?
Let’s hope this week goes real quickly for all of us! Keeping my fingers crossed xxx

KLR2019 · 25/01/2021 21:19

@MrsGee20 Hi MrsGee big fingers crossed for you am not due on until next week but I may test Monday I have got test here waiting for me 😁

How many DPO are you sounds like implantation bleeding which is a good sign, have you had cervix mucus or just the bleed?

Hope it’s BFP!

BWaiting · 25/01/2021 21:18

Hi @MrsGee20 I'm also due on Friday and it's my first month TTC.
I had some spotting today though and I feel like AF is going to arrive early.
I am however feeling really sick this evening and a bit light headed. But that's probably down to AF. (I keep telling myself that to avoid disappointment but secretly hoping that this nauseous feeling is what I'm hoping it is!!) if nothing by tomorrow, I may test early just to calm my mind down. This last week has been long!! x

MrsGee20 · 25/01/2021 21:04

Hi everyone! Thought I’d join the thread as I’m in my first month of ttc šŸ˜ I don’t really get all the abbreviations on here yet so apologies if I misuse any! šŸ˜‚
I’m not sure when I ovulated as I didn’t test, just had sex every other day to try and cover all bases. I had a really light bleed about a week ago which I don’t normally get - can’t help but hope it was implantation. Due on on Friday so this week is going to draaaag.
Anyone else due on this weekend & hoping to test? I’ve been so bloated and a bit crampy but think I’m overthinking things! It would be pretty unbelievable for it to happen so quickly.
How are you all feeling? Excited to have people to talk to about this journey ā¤ļø
