Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I'm so glad to read that because i have a hot water bottle constantly. Because I have IBS it's the only thing that helps the pain and now I'm just addicted. They even come on holiday with me!

I'm worrying about my luteal phase atm. I got my peak on Sunday and I'm due in on Tuesday which is only a 9 day luteal phase 🤦🏽‍♀️

@princesscallie thank you

@Kayeyeem thank you , it's so reassuring to hear that you had the same I got a bit worried. Hopefully this month you will get BFP.

@velam ahh congratulations that's a very clear positive!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I am already getting itchy feet to test! Lol.. I have a pack of 20 cheapie tests and tempted to do one tomorrow morning! It sounds like you could if your experiencing the pains, I would keep OPK testing (Maybe twice a day to make sure you catch it?) and just keep BDing every other day so that your covered just incase!

@princesscallie thank you!! Concieve plus has been my saviour during TTC as sometimes you just need to get it done and the lube is sperm friendly so helps get things going! And I don't know if its a coincidence, but the first month that I used it, I fell pregnant

@Kayeyeem ooo another Chinese!! Sounds like yours was good but even better you get another soon! And well done on your 5lb loss that's incredible!!! Despite my long list of apparent symptoms I listed yesterday, this month I feel very little compared to normal TWWs! at 6DPO you wont have even implanted yet so no HCG to give you symptoms anyway! (I can talk..Im just as bad haha)

Same blood taste in my mouth this morning, went away after a cup of coffee. Did check my gums and defo no bleeding so god knows what that is!

Last day at work then I am off for 5 days!! Yipee!! I got my next assignment due in on Thursday so need to get cracking with that. Defo helping me take my mind off things! Then both me and OH have Friday off so planning on having a nice relaxing day (that will be decided based on the test in the morning lol)

@sunflowersaremyfav93

Haha I don't know about keeping it fun. I have to say I am finding it a bit of a chore this time round. We'd usually DTD 2 to 3 times a week depending on the mood but since we decided to go again it has been more of an effort! More of a means to an end... and this is only officially month one!!! I might give it a go tonight and leave it then for this this month as I'm now on cycle day 18 so if I did ovulate I'm sure it's happened by now...no more peeing on ovulation sticks either this month!!! Enough is enough...but how I kept it fun the last time was dressing up, doing it at random times of the day, waiting for him in bed when he got home from work. Its alot harder now as we have a 7 and a 5 year old.

@velam Welcome and congratulations 🎉 I cramped a lot through both my previous pregnancies so I'd say the cramps were normal.
@CookieMonster3001 symptoms sound good 🙂

Well I got my Chinese last night...but the Chinese made a mistake and gave me a slightly different meal 😩 I was too hungry to take it back. Good job it still tasted good and DH has promised me another for my birthday in a couple of weeks lol.
On a positive note I lost 5lbs this week! 10lbs since January 🙌
6DPO (or potentially 8DPO if my cramps were actually ovulation) and not really feeling much of anything 😒

@velam congratulations!! Definitely a line. Wishing you a healthy and happy nine months.

@CookieMonster3001 your signs and symptoms all sounds very positive. Best of luck to you over the coming days...x

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I have 2 tracking apps on my phone and both had a different ovulation day. I had my tracker and flo. As I mentioned above I was using clearblue digital ovulation sticks and had nothing up to yesterday which was cycle day 17. I didnt test today as was out during the middle of the day and this evening I have lots of EWCM so I'm wondering now would i finally be ovulating! We DTD last night in the middle of the night and I wont lie I don't feel like doing it tonight. I'm wrecked and a bit sore as we have been DTD every second day for the last 10 days...and I don't feel like it tonight but might have to suck it up!!! And advice?

@Arrierttyclock thank you so much! 11dpo xx

@NewbieB I hope not, I have light cramping in my lower ab, gp said it's normal. I hope this one sticks, so excited. xx

@sunflowersaremyfav93 thanks, it's good you all see it too xx

@velam oh I see. Horrible.

But guessing no reason to think this will be the same? How exciting 🥳🥳.

@velam can deff see a line!! Congratulations!!! How many dpo are you?xx

@NewbieB Thank you. When you loose the pregnancy close after implementation 5 weeks pregnant. Yeah me too, been waiting for this for so long.

Keep us posted when you test xxx

@velam omg 100% a line!! So pleased for you!! What is a chemical and i hope it’s not!! X

Can't believe I see this and I was not imagining my symptom.

But slightly worried as I have light cramping in my lower abdominal, I had this last time ended up in chemical pregnancy. Hope this is normal and no reason to panic.

Tell me you can also see the line.

@velam thank you! Good luck to you, let us know what happens when you test x

Thank you @NewbieB, hope at the end of TWW you get your BFP

@CookieMonster3001 oh well done- must be so hard to wait, I know I will be a nightmare soon!
I’m used to 3-4 cups of tea a day so going to cut down to one a day for now as will struggle. Have just bought a load of de-caf tea for rest of day. I never thought of having to cut stuff out whilst trying but it makes total sense in case it does happen

@velam welcome! - I’ve just joined too. Started the TWW yesterday/today.

Thank you so much @CookieMonster3001, that's all I need at the moment, loosing my mind and trying to hide it from mu husband.

I really hope this month is your month and you get that BFP. Honestly, hoping that for everyone here.

@NewbieB @sunflowersaremyfav93 thanks!! Hoping to hold out till the end of the week before I test..

I only really have one caffeine (coffee) drink a week, usually on Saturday, but I have switched to decaf since TTC started. I still drink alcohol until I get a positive, but I don't drink much anyway, a drink or two on the weekend and that's about it.

@velam welcome! We know the feeling! Fingers crossed for this month!

Hi ladies, can I join you too?

It's been more than a year of trying with one chemical pregnancy in May. So I become very impatient now. AF is due this Thursday-Friday and as always I am imagining symptom (sore boob, nausea, spotting, light cramping and so on). trying to not test till Saturday at least (if AF doesn't come). Need your supports to stay sane.

P.S do you ladies limit caffeine and avoid alcohol during TWW?? X
