Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@kaylsd that reading is incredible! Where did you get it from?

@Sallyjo27 so glad you're still positive! Fingers crossed this is all good for you

lucea87 · 04/03/2021 09:52

Hey girls! So sorry I've been MIA, just trying to catch up with all the messages I've missed now. Xx

CycloGoose · 04/03/2021 09:36

@kaylsd nom nom nom. I'm not a Chinese lover but I do love a good takeaway. Glad you enjoyed it! I ate my own bodyweight in sugar yesterday and currently paying the price 🤢

We have another niece or nephew due in a couple of weeks too. Not sure what to buy! It's first niece from that side's birthday this month too - they'll be almost exactly 5 years apart with the middle sister being exactly 2.5 years from both! Some people's bodies work like clockwork it seems! Can you imagine if they were born on exactly the same day?

It will be our turn soon enough and at least we'll have people to hand things down to us including experience! xxx

CycloGoose · 04/03/2021 09:29

@Seraphim87 I wouldn't worry at all. I had withdrawal bleed straight away and then no true AF for 9 weeks. It just takes some time for our bodies to readjust to life without synthetic hormones. Since then I've had fairly normal cycles but they have still been a bit up and down.

@Slinks8113 my Femometer just changed its mind and changed my ovulation day the little got! Now it's showing I didn't DTD on most fertile days 🤦🏼‍♀️ knew I shouldn't have put it off last Sunday. Arse.

World book day today. Currently Katniss Everdeen 🤣

kaylsd · 04/03/2021 09:24

@CycloGoose

Absolutely, go for it *@kaylsd* nothing wrong with a bit of a treat. I've been scoffing ridiculous food all day when I should be nourishing myself like crazy. Ooops!

Not really set but I'll get by. I don't think I could do shifts like you do!

I caved, had Chinese last night for tea, was totally worth it! There's no greater feeling than a full tummy from Chinese food 🐷 hahaha, I still have the view right now as there's nothing much to look forward to until things relax than foods the next best thing although it does worry me that's non of my jeans what I have will probably fit as I've not worn a pair in over a year 😂🙈

Aww hunny I'm sure you'll be fine once you find your feet back in the classroom :D nice for you to undertake some normality once again!

I bought some bits for my niece that is due in April today, baby stuff is just the cutest everrrrrr espesh the little Pom Pom hats 🥰 my womb aches when ever I see them, it'll be our turn soon no doubt! 😘 xxx

kaylsd · 04/03/2021 09:20

@minthumbugs

Well ladies I got a reading - that lady is making a fortune from us lol.

My significant month is July, gender is boy and sign is squirrels. Squirrel sightings welcome! Haha. The baby I lost this year was due in July - would love to be expecting by that time so my fingers are crossed so tightly. Xx

Eeeek July is an amazing month! I swear we've boosted the fertility reading business following mums net because we are all just curious to see if there's any truth to what they have said ;) I've had 4 readings (I promised the last one I did will be the last one though) and 3 have said either July or summer months, and then my final one said positive test in April or due April 2022, which could mean a July positive test for that to happen too! Eeeek roll on the summer 🤞🏻🥰🌈🤰

@Seraphim87

Week five since stopping my pill, I’ve had sore boobs, funny tummy, cramps, back ache but AF hasn’t turned up- worried I’m going end up with irregular cycles Sad thinking if nothing happens I’ll take a test on Saturday - just feel rather glum
It took about 5 n abit week to have my withdrawal bleed from stopping my pill hunny so fingers crossed you'll see something soon! I even had one month where I didn't ovulate which can also be a cause for no period to show yet, do you use OPK?

Just might take a little bit more time, I have a slightly longer cycle too since stopping the pill I used to be like 30/31 days, but since stopping the pill I'm 34 days xx

@Sallyjo27

Thank you both for checking in. Another positive! So definitely pregnant. I’ve ordered my injections now so just waiting for them to come *@CycloGoose* *@Slinks8113*
Congratulations again sweetheart 🌈🙌🏻❤️❤️
kaylsd · 03/03/2021 15:32

@Slinks8113

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Happy 4dpo @CycloGoose....thought it was 5 today haha. It really does go slow.

@Sallyjo27 any more news lovely?

@kaylsd that's a brilliant reading! It's scary if it's accurate, can you imagine! Especially the grandchildren bit! You'll still be talking about it in your 60s telling your son it's definitely going to be a boy! 🥰

I'm really reducing the caffeine intake since the weekend and really not sleeping well at all out of it - which seems strange but hopefully only be a few more days! Think people at work now think I'm pregnant as well 😂🙈

People will always talk they are tinkers for the littlest of changes they soon think baby straight away! I received a message from one of the girls saying how's baby making coming along anything in the oven yet, I find it hard to face that conversation but one day I'll be able to turn round and say well actuallyyyyyy 🤰 but until then I'm enjoying the BD! My fertile week starts next week and I have a week off work for my birthday & hubs has two week off work, great timing ;)!

I always sleep really badly when I'm in the TWW I have the strangest dreams all the time and wake up at random times, I'm also on the coffee cut down, aiming for 2 cups a day only which I think is just under the limit? But it's a lot better than my 4-5 I used to function off 🙈

kaylsd · 03/03/2021 15:28

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd oooh that's really in depth! No wonder she's behind. Very specific I like it. That's not tarot is it, that's more psychic?

Don't really know what I'm doing with the cup thing. Just hope for the best. I tend to have a quick snuggle and then get on with stuff. I've heard mixed things about the old legs in air

I've not had a great day today. Needed a sugar fix but there wasn't anything healthy in the house so I poured a load of honey over some dry cereal. Oh my days 🤣😅[/quote]
I think it was classed as a psychic one but was well worth the wait if it comes true! I just found it bizzare with the depth with it right until my future grandchildren gosh I don't even wanna think that far ahead in life right now :') I've done good so far however I'm tempted to have a treat day tonight as after tomorrow me and hubs are both working right until Monday so I won't spending much time with him 🙈 I had a rough day at work yesterday too where I went over my time for about two and a half hour as I couldn't leave the situation.. even more so to have a treat day today! (I'm just giving myself reasons as I have minimal willpower ;)) are you all set chick for the return to work in the classroom? :)

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 11:52

@dulci379 I am now having the same at 4dpo. What is it with us girls on this thread and bleeding when we're not expecting it or waiting for bleeding to come when we are!?

7dpo would be high time for implantation bleeding but it's hard to know. If you are worried, talk to your gp if you can. It's mostly likely nothing or it could be a sign of positive tests to come!

From the photos it's clear it's not AF so try to stay calm and relaxed as much as possible and keep keeping track of it. Maybe talk to doc if you get it again next cycle or if AF is also not normal for you xxx

dulci379 · 03/03/2021 11:38

Hi everyone, a few people were kind enough to reply to my earlier post about some pink bleeding 1/2 dpo and said they thought this could have been ovulation bleeding. I haven’t ever had that before so was a bit worried. I just wanted to update and please don’t think me a psycho posting these pics to strangers on the internet! And so sorry for TMI / dont look if this grossed you out but just wanted to share in case anyone has had similar. These pics show how it’s changed day by day. This would be 6 days of pink cm and spotting for me now, which is so out of the ordinary for me. I’m 7dpo, due AF a week today, but I always spot for a few days before so would have expected spotting to begin in about 4 days. My normal pre AF spotting is usually brown and quite dark not really like this. This has really puzzled me and I just feel worried and sad like I’ve been out for the month since 1/2dpo. Any thoughts? Does anyone think this is ovulation bleeding still?

Iloveoreos · 03/03/2021 11:22

@CycloGoose very true

CycloGoose · 03/03/2021 11:18

I don't think there is a huge amount of research on it @Iloveoreos so it's a bit each to their own ☺️ You should never feel you have to do any of these things. It's just up to you x

Iloveoreos · 03/03/2021 10:55

@CycloGoose

Sure that's fine *@Iloveoreos* I just wanted to try the cup thing
Ah ok. I was just curious and worried if the 10min method is too less
Iloveoreos · 03/03/2021 10:25

@sallyjo27
Congrats xx
