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.

@SarahHouse yes our bodies are wonderful at playing tricks! Lol at least you can start again sooner! And it’s good we can keep each other company on here, on this journey xx

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 15:58

@Iloveoreos it’s ok... try in a few days! There can be a lot of false negatives before the day of your missed AF! I have my fingers crossed for you! I was tempted to get a test today, but I’m managed to talk myself out of it! Lol xx

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 15:55

@kaylsd oh wow you look absolutely stunning! Glad you managed to get your wedding ceremony in! Our ceremony is planned for 29th May this year and a blessing and reception so everyone can come in June 2022! Fingers crossed!

Mable is gorgeous! We have a shepherd x retriever and he is a little pickle. His name is Koby and he likes to pester mum when she’s trying to work from home....

Ohhhh I love her! Hello Mable! You all look gorgeous. So glad you managed to squeeze it in before the lockdown. Stunning.
One of our family dogs is due puppies today. Very exciting. She's huge so hoping for lots of gorgeous puppies.
Hope you get to have an amazing reception! We were so lucky and got married Summer 19 before it all kicked off. I was really ill in hospital with pneumonia in the October - I swear I was patient X 😂😂😂 We've hardly done anything since then.
Is it bad luck to wear your dress again? I hadn't heard that one! You may be 9 months pregnant at the time anyway 😂
So much luck and baby dust for all of you over the weekend xxx

@Iloveoreos

Hey ladies. Still bfn :( caved in and tested yesterday on 12dpo .
You never know sweet you might have just tested early they do say 14dpo is average for people to get BFP 🤞🏻❤️
kaylsd · 18/02/2021 12:41

@SarahHouse

Sorry *@kaylsd* i missed your message yesterday! I will be 14 dpo on saturday so not long to go 🤞 i again..worry im symptom spotting but i have an incredibly dry mouth this morning 😬

Its good you feel calm! Although cant imagine what it was like organising a wedding over the last year.

Oh it deffo was eventful, we had 4 different wedding dates in the end and on the date we actually got married we planned a mini wedding in 2 days because we wanted to beat lock down number 3 coming in! It's deffo one to share for the memories in the future to tell people how we managed to rush around like headless chickens and ringing everyone to get a random Tuesday off work but we had a beautiful day never the less and ended up in McDonald's at the night all dressed up 😂😂😂🙄 hoping for our Receiption this year but never know how the year is going to pan out! I won't be wearing my dress again though incase it brings bad luck :') xxx

[quote CeeJay1987]@kaylsd just working and dog walks lol. What about you?

I’m going to invest in some cheapies from Sunday! Although I’m convinced AF is on its way 🙄 but just have to wait and see xx[/quote]
Snap! What pooch do you have? I have a nearly 2 year old miniature labradoodle called Mable, I'll attach a pick of her and me on our big day, she was my fourth bridesmaid walking down the isle with my ladies!

Sending lots of luck over the weekends events and hoping for BFPS for all 🙌🏻❤️

@CeeJay1987 i know it drags so much, especially those that few days. Fingers crossed for you!!

I think AF is here today, i have a small bit when i go the loo now and it looks just like normal. Horrible how it plays tricks with you isnt it!

Same for me, working from home and trying to get outside as much as i can to get some sunshine 🌞

CeeJay1987 · 18/02/2021 11:00

@SarahHouse I’m not feeling to bad. How about you? The tww seems to last forever! Lol I woke up with stronger aches and I’m convinced AF is on the way. But as I type it seems to have eased off. Have no idea, but not getting my hopes up too much. Just trying to stay relaxed.

I’m trying to stay busy with work and dog walks! What about you? xx

Ooooh it's getting so exciting for you all. So hard not to symptom spot. Everything crossed for you all!!

SarahHouse · 17/02/2021 20:10

@CeeJay1987 yeah still some mild cramp! It feels so similar to my AF...this probably sounds weird but i cant quite pinpoint if it feels lower..i did have some lower back pain earlier too! But im putting that down to some yoga i did the day before...im worried im just watching these symptoms too closely 🤣 but maybe now im just passing them off! I have some tests so im hoping to hold out but i might cave tomorrow as thats 12dpo. How are you feeling? Sending all the wishes your way!

kaylsd · 17/02/2021 19:49

[quote CeeJay1987]@kaylsd ooo what are you simmering? Happy Ash Wednesday! What are you doing for lent?

I’m not going to buy a test until Sunday if AF doesn’t show! Otherwise if I have them in the house I will use them all in the same day 😂

I think I prefer the first response tests over cb. What cheapies do you buy? I’m always nervous to get cheapies just in case...?! Irrational I know.

Anymore symptoms for anyone? I still have the dull pain all day! Hopefully AF stays away Sunday![/quote]
Said I'll try and reduce my sweet tooth.... I don't know how long it'll last but I'm gonna try my best 😂 terms of my internet cheapies I've got two brands the easy@home tests & the Femometer brand ones which came with the OPK strips :) I'm tempted to treat myself to a FR for Sunday, do you have anything planned over the next few days to keep busy and your mind preoccupied sweetie

CeeJay1987 · 17/02/2021 19:32

@SarahHouse do you still have mild cramps? Are the just in your abdomen or back also? I admire you waiting! I plan to test the first day AF is due if it doesn’t arrive before! Fingers crossed for us all! 🤞🏼

@SarahHouse

Ah good luck *@kaylsd* *@CeeJay1987*!! I tend to have a lot of strange dreams so thats nothing unusual for me 🤣. Im holding out to 14dpo to test, but im now on cd32 (normally average about a 27/28 day cycle) however i know i ovulated late so im assuming thats why ive had nothing yet..dont want to get my hopes up! But ive had this super mild cramping which is unusual but again..could just be AF on the way. So hard not to drive yourself crazy symptom spotting. Hoping everyones had a good day ❤
When will you be 14 dpo sweetheart? I actually feel so calm and relaxed this month I prob should be a little bit nervous because if I do get my BFP the due date times will be a trickey one for me as my belated wedding Receiption is on bonfire night and I've already had that moved 4 times from covid (we got married before lockdown 3 come in but postponed the party bit) and I don't even know how I'll tackle that subject again with all the event managers 😂🙈
kaylsd · 17/02/2021 15:50

[quote CeeJay1987]@kaylsd I’ve been having strange dreams too! I can’t remember what they were now, but I remember thinking... why on Earth did I dream that! Haha I wish I went to Maldives in my dream! 😬

I’ve been needing to use the bathroom more, but not sure that’s anything. Apart from that I’ve woken up with a dull ache in my lower abdomen that hasn’t gone away all day. Feels like AF could start at anytime (not due until Sunday). I am not sure what to think at the moment but I will hold out until Sunday to see if AF comes! xx[/quote]
Yay were cycle twins! Sunday is judgement day also for me, I don't know is whether I should go out and invest in some branded PT tests for the occasion or just stick to my cheapies until something shows up on them because I've seen so many negs before on alsorts of brands I've now thought I've got used to seeing BFN i don't know how I would be like if I saw a second line on anything but a OPK 🙈 I've stocked up on AF supplies for the occasion I wonder which is gonna be used the AF for the HPT cheapies hehe! Still managing to sway away from dr google though which I'm happy about!

Are you having ash today with it being Ash Wednesday? Mines been nicely simmering all day 😋

Hey there ladies! Sorry been so quiet been so mad at work Ive not had chance to think properly! 8 dpo today and lack of symptoms for the first time ever! Normally I get sore boobs crampy slightly feeling off but nill.. don't know if this is a bad thing or a good thing! Still having strange dreams though had these since about 2-3dpo, last night there was a magic door which I could jump through to go to any destination I wanted so I chose Maldives's... if only it was that simple 😂😂😉

Hope you ladies are all hanging in there! For anyone 7dpo plus, when are you guys considering to test? I'm gonna hold out to 14 dpo 🤞🏻

Roseleafshine · 17/02/2021 11:23

Fingers crossed @lucea87! 🙂

lucea87 · 17/02/2021 10:14

Morning All!!

Still waiting here with no clue what's going on!! Still cramps, still high cervix, still no AF, sore boobs especially nipples...holding out until Friday.....!!!

SarahHouse · 17/02/2021 10:05

Hi all! Hope you dont mind me joining in 🥰 currently on our 3rd month of TTC our first. Googling away through the dreaded 2 weeks. I am currently at 11dpo..but i unusually ovulated late this month (cd21). I am not sure if i am late on my period or not with the late ovulation! I always start 14 days after so waiting out until im 14 dpo. Got some mild cramping thats been on and off for a couple of days but i get that before AF anyway...hoping good luck for everyone in the same wait ❤
