Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

@Kayeyeem congratulations! amazing. wishing you an happy and amazing pregnancy xxxx

@Kayeyeem woo hoo fantastic news!! Congratulations!!! Love a good digital. I am planning on doing mine tomorrow as I am due AF tomorrow.

Had a scare yesterday with backpain and some spotting which is how my mc started but not had any since. Backpain still there but seems to be when I sit in my office chair. Temp was highest its ever been and my line progressions look OK (I think). I have attached a pic. Finally got a dye stealer on a FRER too so trying to stay calm and not think the worst. I think thr spotting might have been cus we DTD on Sunday and it irritated the cervix. Who knows!

@Kayeyeem ahhhh massive congratulations!!!!

@Kayeyeem congratulations!! Thats great news! Delighted for you! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months! X

Omg omg omg!! I'm pregnant 😱😭😁
I wasn't going to test but I've not been sleeping well for the last 4 nights and I was like that when I got pregnant with both my boys so something just made me test!
I'm about 13dpo and AF was due today/tomorrow.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yep i used to just put my butt on a pillow for 15-30 min after then go to the loo. I wouldnt worry about them falling out as force would have pushed em to where they need to go :)

@sunflowersaremyfav93 this happened to me last time too and I was panicking but then we got pregnant this month. So I wouldn't worry about that at all.

@CookieMonster3001 that all looks very promising. Go you! My period isn't due until Sat but I might test on Thursday if still feel like this!

Evening ladies!! Sorry just catching up as had a lazy weekend!! Still doesnt feel quite real yet and think I will feel a lot better once I hit 6 weeks as I checked through my notes and I started to miscarry at 5 + 2, so will feel so much better once I get to that point! Currently 4 weeks tomorrow if I go off ovulation or 3+3 if I go by period. Would have been due period Tues or Weds so will see but I have attached another progression pic and so far its looking OK. A lot less cramping compared to last time and generally feel fine.

@princesscallie symptoms sound good! The funny taste in my mouth was a give away for me. Tasted a lot like blood and I had it over 3 days. Fingers crossed for you!

@NewbieB and @kayeyeem those symptoms also sound very positive! 🤞🤞

@sunflowersaremyfav93 not yet sunk in tbh i think it might take some time but I am feeling cautiously optimistic! Trying to stay positive! Ooo fingers crossed sound like youve covered all bases! TTC is so hard because its something we just want so much and a lot of it is out of our control. You can only do as much as you can do and it will happen when the time is right!

Fingers crossed @NewbieB @princesscallie

🤞🏼

According to my app I'm 2 days away from AF but I've had a few odd symptoms as well as the usual pms ones. These are the ones I've counted so far...

*painful boobs
*excess saliva
*headache
*backache
*Cramps
*bloating
*constipation
*creamy cm
*emotional
*tired
*stuffy nose

I don't want to test but I do what to test 😩😫😂

@SendmetoFlorida thank you! I’m the same- still have a cup of tea a day (and the rest are now de-caf).

@Wowthisisreal - i’ve literally done it the first time this month but think it depends on length of cycle- maybe google it? I’d test from today if it was me though

When do you start testing on OPK? I'm on Cd11 and app says ovulating cd17... do I start today? I got CB.

@Curiosity101 I've still been having 1 cup a day but normally I do about 4 or 5 🙈 so bad I know! Just love coffee so much 😍

@NewbieB @princesscallie fingers crossed for you both. Only a few more days then you can test! 🤞

2DPO here so a long wait...

@princesscallie that sounds promising! I’m 8/9 DPO today and had some orange/pink coloured blood this morning. Have had some cramps yesterday and day before so wondering if implantation bleeding. Also had a proper mood swing yesterday and feel a bit pukey on and off. But I do have a sensitive cervix so not completely uncommon for me to bleed slightly outside of my period. Boobs feel fine though and I usually get painful nipples when hormones change so who knows. Such a long wait isn’t it!! X

@SendmetoFlorida You don't need to cut out caffeine completely. Once pregnant the guidance is 200mg a day which can be around 2 coffees a day depending on how strong you make them. I tend to drink a couple of energy drinks a day at 75mg each. Normally one when I wake up and one around lunch time. I don't drink any fizzy drinks or tea though so no worries about caffeine from other sources.

Hi ladies. Hope all is well with everyone. I am having some strange symptoms the last couple of days but don't want to get my hopes up. I've got an awful metallic taste in my mouth, have lots of cramps in my tummy, a lot of excess saliva and my boobs feel strange. Not really sore but different. I've also gone off food. Definitely not like me. I'm not due my period until next Saturday? So not sure what's going on...

@NewbieB well done for resisting the drink! Yes cutting out coffee is a killer... I'm a teacher so will be back in school in a few weeks so don't know how I will cope! Usually live off coffee 😳

@SendmetoFlorida welcome! I’m very new to this too- (first cycle of trying and on 6DPO currently). I’m surprised how long it feels already. Last night my partner wanted to have a few drinks (in the house after work) and was pouring me a drink and I really wanted one but didn’t. Also struggled with cutting down on caffeine which has made me constipated, not using hot water bottles or having hot baths and this is all before coming pregnant. I have googled way too much already but going to have to chill out as aware how long it may take to get pregnant (and i’m 35).
So i totally understand how you feel and going to have to also learn to chill out about everything! X

Hi ladies!
Just joined and jumping on the thread so I have people to talk to and keep sane with (hopefully!)
Only 2nd month of TTC (for first child) after having coil removed and got positive ovulation test yesterday. We didn't know my cycle so just kept DTD every other day hoping for the best. So I'm on my first 2WW... any tips for not going crazy? 😬 xx

@CookieMonster3001 There's definitely progress between those photos 😀
Have you told your OH yet?
AF is due in 4 days and I think she's definitely on her way 😕 I've had cramps on and off all day 😭
@MashaPotato Welcome 🙂 I'm sorry AF arrived this month 😔 it's not an easy journey. Rest up this weekend and you'll start to feel better. Wishing you baby dust 💫

@Curiosity101 OMG, amazing. Wishing you amazing rest of your pregnancy and healthy happy baby

@MashaPotato completely with you, I did feel lonely throughout even hubby is very supportive. Maybe some break would help. I really hope to hear your good news soon xx

Thank you @velam I’m looking forward to going home and having a good cry. Always feels better getting it out. I think that’s almost the hardest part, no body knows what you’re going through so you feel so alone. Onto the next cycle I guess! Although we’re not sure whether to have a break from it for a little while as it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

Massive congratulations to those of you who have been successful, all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby 💖
