TTC February/March

Happy birthday and a late AF is super exciting! Fingers crossed for us all ☺️

Fingers and toes crossed for you!!!😊❤️ We tried it this month, but we both missed the third consecutive day due to tiredness. But will try again should we not be lucky this month! xx

@lucea87 good luck! I have read quite a lot of success stories with it! xx

@BWaiting yesterday afternoon and this morning I do have the uncomfortable feeling when AF is due, but it’s too early for that yet. However I did feel like that last month around the same time so it’s probably normal but I’ve never noticed it before ttc xx

[quote BWaiting]@kaylsd hahaha I'm sorry I'm laughing so much sorry, do you eat pasta? My sister has a massive issue with it because of the texture.
I've heard pineapple for inducing labour but not inducing pregnancy 😂
But I would try anything tbh!!
That's really good you're getting walks in, I get so lazy sometimes, the gym is my getaway from life and I'm impatiently waiting for them to open again! xx[/quote]
Don't worry about laughing im a right nightmare when it comes to food and I don't like pasta for the texture I can just about eat a pot noodle but even then it can be touch and go 😂 I'm hoping things start to open up again, my roots look horrendous 🙄🙄🙄 tempted to do a box dye but knowing me it'll go green or fall out!

Hahaha. I'm hopefully reading that as TTC wise rather than with my life until TTC 😜 Think I'm going a bit crazy this month.
We had a delayed and reduced honeymoon camping in France for our anniversary this summer and decided we should start trying.
I take loads of supplements and trying ubiquinol as I'm worried my lining might not be great...
I've been tracking using OPKs from the start and I did a bit of temping. I wanted to know I actually was ovulating after the pill for so long.
Husband has been struggling with stress of work and our timing hasn't been great - he'll be giddy when I'm not in the FW but we've DTD at least once in the FW every month this far. This month we both tried extra and managed 3 times so really would be great to be rewarded with bfp!
How about you? How long have you been trying? Judging from your username, our birthdays must be quite close together since we're only just into Feb of this year 🙂[/quote]
It was my birthday on Tuesday! This was our first cycle. I was certain AF was coming today but it has not happened yet..cross your fingers girls!

My OH has maintained he will never be excited, only terrified however the change in him the last few weeks has been amazing to me and I know how excited he will actually be when we have our first scan. Just got to prey we get there eventually.

We were probably a bit slack last cycle but next cycle we are going to be on it to a T!

Hi ladies, hoping not too late to join in!
Really interesting to read everyone's stories and I so feel for everyone who has suffered losses. Really hopeful for everyone and lovely to see some bfps already, too!

I turned 34 in December. We're TTC #1 and are on cycle number 6. I've been using cheapy opks and have done a bit of bbt tracking but hubby seems to prefer mornings for DTD and having to take temperature kind of gets in the way!

I used CB purple first time this month too and also went straight from blank to static. It's funny it's happened to quite a few of us!

I'm 8dpo and AF due on 17th. Anyone with me?

Feeling a bit up and down... I feel hubby realised bit wasn't going to happen by magic this month and coverage was the best so far but also don't want to get hopes up too much!

I'm a teacher so been pretty full on busy to now but next few days will be killer with valentine's and half term trying not to symptom spot or test early. At least I can have a half term glass of wine if I get AF.

Every time I read a symptom, I get it haha. I clearly have a very vivid imagination! My cm does seem different this time though and surely I can't mentally create that!?

Good luck and hefty fistfuls of baby dust all round.

@CeeJay1987 I haven't seen bodyguard but it is on my list. Maybe I'll start that next. Thanks!

I don't tend to google symptoms because with my other pregnancies I had no symptoms till week 4/5 so anything now I think for 5 minutes it's a pregnancy symptom, drive myself mad and then come to the conclusion that it's probably something I've eaten that's giving me a bloated tummy, cramps or twinges.
I am honestly scared of google sometimes, I diagnose myself with some crazy things!!

Have you been feeling anything today? xx

@BWaiting haha I’ve heard that about Bridgerton before 😂

I still need to finish the Crown.... I’m on the last season now, but keep forgetting to finish it.

If you like British Crime, have you seen the BBC drama, the Bodyguard? That was a good watch!

I’ve been good today and not googled any symptoms. I know it’s too early anyway, but I wonder with every slight cramp I get, which I’ve been getting slightly today xx

Is anyone doing SMEP? I tried it this cycle but missed one day (the last one of the third consecutive day). Has this worked did anyone in the past?

@CeeJay1987 I would recommend watching Bridgerton in FW! Haha
I watched the crown, and loved that.
I like British crime but I haven't found anything to get stuck into recently.
I don't have time to binge watch anything, I'm a one episode a night person. But if I did have the time to binge the TWW wouldn't seem so bad I don't think! xx

@BWaiting oh I know, it’s hard to to let your mind wonder... very little twinge or cramp I start to wonder! I’m going to try really hard this month to just stay relaxed about it.

I think Bridgerton is suppose to be quite good, which I may start. Other than that I’ve been watching true crime documentaries at the moment... lol. What kind of programmes do you like and I can let you know what I’ve seen recently that is good, to pass the time xx

@kaylsd hahaha I'm sorry I'm laughing so much sorry, do you eat pasta? My sister has a massive issue with it because of the texture.

[quote lucea87]@kaylsd honestly today I've been Googling 'can implantation happen at 5dpo' lol

Thanks for such a lovely welcome

We've all been there girl! For me it's normally like 7 dpo then I get like Ooooooo cramps is that baby is that AF 😂 quick best put cramps at 7dp leading to BFP in google 😂🙈🙄 I don't know how I do it to myself each time

@kaylsd honestly today I've been Googling 'can implantation happen at 5dpo' lol

Thanks for such a lovely welcome

[quote BWaiting]@kaylsd we are quite laid back too. As far as meals go, we both eat a good diet, he's a runs a lot and I'm a weights/gym go'er so we eat well to maintain that. he snacks on healthy things such as nuts and seeds so I haven't really made him change anything. As for me....I can't live without my coffee in the morning so I've switched that to a decaf. snacks/chocolate...I'm still working on cutting that down but if I'm honest, I don't see that happening! I'm a really bad snacker and the lbs are starting to pile on a little bit now too!
I read on a thread on here about eating certain things like nuts and seeds at certain points in your cycle to help, have you heard of this before? x[/quote]
I've seen before people on about varies seeds and even the use of pineapple during the TWW? I've even read into people having the seeds n various other things with like an shake to have each day? I don't do textures very well so the thought of a shake with bits in it might make me gag, I can't even eat soggy weetabix without gipping or shovelling it down in 3 seconds before it gets too soft 😂🙈 it's nice to hear you and your hubs are doing the right things with a balance diet and exercise, since this last stent of lockdown number 3 I've lost all motivation to push myself to exercise, the only
ones I get is when I'm walking within my work or dog walk! X

[quote CeeJay1987]@kaylsd thank you! Oh my goodness I’ve been doing this haha... I’ve now banned myself from searching on google! Lol

I too plan to watch light hearted tv to pass the time and I’m glad I’ve stumbled across this thread! 😊[/quote]
I'm so glad I'm not the only one 😂😂😂😂 the worst thread I stumbled across was that old the links to their HPT tests or asking about OPK were no longer valid, I swear when it's like that I've ventured too far into the threads 😂🙈

Here's to passing time with TWW 🌈🤞🏻
