TTC May/June - may the eggs be ever in your favour

@lunalove14 my partner is the same, I have the CB OPKs but I don't tell him about it (or the price) 🙈 I'm having a break from them this month, when I used them for the first time I got really stressed about it. While you wait on your cycles returning to normal just take them with a pinch of salt! They are good for being really easy to use and clear though 😊

I'm glad you're feeling better @kaylsd! Haha your dreams are so crazy 🤣 when will you get the results back from today?

@Tangfastic91 there's always a silver lining! I think when you have things coming up you have it hanging over your head thinking oh how would I hide it, would I tell people, would I enjoy it etc and it can be quite stressful before it's even happened! I'm so bad for planning out dates in my head during the TWW 😩 hopefully it's a BFP and you enjoy all the events, best of both worlds 🤞🏻

Omg thank god you talked him out of that @Kitty0389, what was he thinking 🤦‍♀️ ahhh sorry AF is so tough just now. They are the worst pains ever, give yourself a wee break from all the work with comfy jammies, hot water bottle and some chocolate! Hope the extension work is going well, definitely an amazing project to put all your energy into and TTC can be less stressful if you're not thinking about it as much.

Hi @Purpleshoes123! Oh no, sorry to hear your OH hasn't been well. Was that during your FW, what point are you at in your cycle? We've had a fair few BFPs on this thread, but none so far this month I don't think. Maybe you can take one for the team? 🤣 Good luck ✨

Hi @PositiveVibes89 the more the merrier. I'm trying for #2 (4th pregnancy) but never fully got into tracking before either, so this year has been a learning curve for me. There are so many people who can keep you right! What day of your cycle are you on? Baby dust ✨✨

Hi All,

I have been reading lots of posts the last few days, and I hope you don't mind me joining.
I am TTC number 3, and this is the first time I have tracked anything so it is all very new!
I am finding it very hard to think about anything else at the moment 😆

Fingers crossed for everyone, I can't wait to see lots of BFP's.

Hi, hope it’s ok if I join! I’m TTC baby no2. Don’t think it’s going to happen this month though as OH has had 4 days of fever (not covid) and I’m sure that has an effect on sperm count/quality 😫
Good luck to everyone else though and I’m excited to see lots of BFPs!

Wow everyone is so busy at the moment! I’m struggling to keep up.

@kaylsd good luck to your OH. I hope it all goes well. Mine was like ‘I don’t have to book a room, I’ll just do it in the car’. I thankfully managed to talk him out of getting himself arrested!

I’m on CD2 with really bad endometriosis pains this month so I didn’t sleep last night 🙄. Cycles seem to be sticking between 23-26 days. So short but not silly short.

@CycloGoose I didn’t get to see my own results, just a phone call with the doc. In terms of the fibroid they’ve said no further investigations until 12months trying. Thankfully my GP told them I stopped the pill last summer so it’ll be earlier than the actual 12months (I stopped in November).

I think we’re going to try and throw ourselves into the extension project for the next few months and hope for the best in terms of the baby but maybe make it less of a priority. I think I will still track OPKs but that’s all I’m doing at the moment. The rest is too stressful. Only problem is building work makes us too tired to BD!

Fingers crossed to all the new joiners, let’s hope you have an easy journey of it 😊.

Hey hope everyone is well :)... I had no idea of the torture that is the TWW. Curious about every twinge but my mind is just saying 'nope not this month'. Have quite a few social events coming up that would be impossible with nausea, so if it's BFN this month then that is the silver lining I will take 😂
@kaylsd sorry you have such insensitive in laws!!

@minthumbugs @ren26 I’ve simmered down this morning thankfully but they haven’t got a clue sometimes in the shit what comes out of their mouth, I felt like it was abit of a mask moment when Jimmy Carey’s face dropped when I heard the words jealous 😩 if anyone knows me and my hub as people we are the most laid back of all! Just gonna let it pass by me and not give them the satisfaction of letting me be upset, I do believe in karma though so they’ll get theirs in time! Thank you for the good luck wishes today, he’s just got out of the shower and started signing what a beautiful day to beat my meat, my face is like 😫😂😂😂

@Lunalove14 hey there lovely lady and welcome! Your period you speak of post pill might have just been a withdraw bleed and not an actual period as it can take a while for your cycle to get back to normal from post pill life, fingers and toes crossed the witch turns up soon or a BFP for you 😘

@CycloGoose you’d like to think they’d have enough to focus on in their life’s right now but nope, obvious got too much time on their hands! I’ve passed on your well wishes to hubs I absolutely howled with that pun of cock up 😂😂😂😂 so that’s really made my morning! Me and one of the girls from work haven’t got our issues sorted with the management, the manager actually disclosed that one of the other girls wrote an email to her of complaint in front of the whole team which broke confidentiality which I was like oh hell no!!! So yeah it’s abit of a storm at work at the moment, im on that waiting list though for the new area and I keep checking the NHS site for new posts so I could go out with an external post which is the second option which I also look out for, the right thing will happen at the right time I’m a firm believer of that 💁🏼‍♀️ fingers crossed you see some improvement with your ovaries I’ve got visions of your ovaries with Pearl white beeds for a necklace and glasses on string with grey perm 😂😂😘 mines just in a giant cotton ball with two eye holes just to be there to nosey but not much other use ;)

I’m hoping everything goes smoothly today and quickly, it’s abit awkward to think I’m lurking round the hospital waiting for him for moral support, he did ask me if I could go in and help him out and said no we would get done for indecency😂😂😂 it must have been on my mind today though as my strange dream saga I was making my own sausages in a sausage machine? Never done it before in my life but I thought it was quite fitting under the circumstances!

Have a lovely day ladies 😘🥰❤️

Thank you all for being welcoming! Will catch up abs get properly involved today. Was considering getting a clear blue ovulation testing kit but my partner is very hippy in that way saying no let’s just leave it and try for another few months “natural”. Eyeroll!! Haha. I’ve been struggling to track ovulation due to periods being a bit all over.

@CycloGoose
I couldn't wait - I've had 2 early scans 😂. Saying scan is on 28th May though so not long to go now!

@lunalove14 you will find this perfect then! We are a big bunch with various complaints and journeys, everyone has certainly kept me going and thinking positive during a tough few months. How long were you on the pill previously? Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones that get a normal cycle back quickly and it's not too much longer a journey for you!

@ren26 oh it's a nightmare trying not to symptom spot when your body is throwing symptoms at you. Have you had anything else, any cramps or anything? Is there a possibility it's implantation? It's hard not to get your hopes up. I hope this is it for you 🤞🏻✨

Oh god @CycloGoose that is a lot! One of my friends is a teacher and I was chatting to her on the phone at the weekend, she was almost in tears with how much she has to do. How long is it until your summer hols? I know it's a bit different in England. I had some pains on one side late last night (the good side!!!!) and had a shit ton of EWCM the last few days 😬 if it's not now it's definitely very soon. But just been the same as you, trying not to go beyond 3 days but not going crazy like previous months lol.

I definitely want to do the Master's, I think I'd be daft not to grab the opportunity while I have it. My OH is supportive whatever I decide to do, but it's all dependent on if we are lucky and if dates allow. Haven't chased up results yet. Sorry if this is a bit grim but we opted for a post mortem too so the results of that would be discussed at the same time, so it's almost like I don't want to know as well. It's all a bit overwhelming. And yeah, I said my mum has endo! I know it's one of they things they might investigate regardless of timings but it's a bit off putting having to get surgery to investigate and having to put a pause on TTC for that. I think I might contact the docs if I speak to them again about TTC. After my ectopic the surgeon told me I would be able to get a referral after 6 months rather than 12 but I don't know if that will have changed now because I've managed to have a child. It's all just a lot isn't it!

So did you have a chat with your OH about IVF? I hope you don't need it but it's definitely good to be prepared for all eventualities. Solidarity to you to get through the rest of the week and get a good rest at the weekend! 😘

Oh and yeah good luck to mr @kaylsd 🙈 you'll need to take a book to entertain yourself while you are there for moral support! Wonder if we will have any funny stories from it tomorrow 🤣

@kaylsd sorry about the inlaws. It's good to have a rant and get it out your system.
@lunalove14 welcome hope things sort themselves out soon.
I've got pinkish/brownish discharge today. Trying not to read too much into it. I really hate the waiting.
BTW loving the thread name

Thank you so much @minthumbugs!
I don’t have anyone else I know TTC so looking forward to being able to connect with you lovely ladies! X

hi @lunalove14! ahhh how rubbish that it's late for you with nothing. so frustrating but hopefully your body goes back to normal quickly. baby dust x x

Hi all! hope it is ok to join - my first post here! I came off the pill 2 months ago and am now TTC. i have had a period since but now 9 days late testing negative. feeling a bit blue!

Aaaah @Halpmer! 10 weeks down, 30 odd to go 🥺 let us know how your dating scan goes! I'm so happy for you, hope we are all following behind you soon enough. X

Omgggg @kaylsd not only are they insensitive AF that's also just rude! Of course you guys won't want to take away from their moment with your own struggle but you defo don't want to be around baby chat 24/7. They obviously don't get it's a lot more complex than 'jealousy'! Sorry they're being annoying, try and brush off everything they say. X

Rant alert
My frigging pain in the arse inlaws strike again!!!!!

So as me and hubs are going through testing as you know we've been keeping ourselves to ourselves in the reality life, close friends and that know we are going through testing and because the show is on my BIL and our baby niece we haven't been talking about much because this is their moment, well because his mum and dad aren't taking what we are going through as serious as what we gather from their reactions to everything we've said to them as "we will be fine" "things will be okay" "there's nothing wrong with you" I've overheard with my father in law to my hub was why are you moody? What's your problem all time your being off with us? What's up with you are you jealous or something?

Well.... I'm officially seething, to be accused of being jealous after all we're going through now.. set of twats as always 🤣🤣🤣🙈

@MammaJ21 it's all trial and error darling you'll be able to get a grasp what works for you as time goes on :)! I used the Femometer ones as they came in a pack of 50 with 25 HPTs too which is always handy to have when I panic when my flow is late and turns out it's my ovaries being the pain hehe! X

@Halpmer
Omg how much has time flown! 10 weeks already jeeeezzzzz!! However I'm so happy for you darling, wear your symptoms girl like a cap and gown, you've got this 🥺❤️😘 hoping everything goes smoothly for you going forward with your 12 week scan 🤞🏻🥰

@kaylsd @minthumbugs

10 weeks today, fingers are crossed that this little friend sticks around. Wearing my fatigue, nausea and sickness like a badge of honour.

Honestly, fingers are crossed for that graduation ceremony @kaylsd ! I might have this little one by then!

I'm going to keep lurking to see how you're all getting on 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

How are you getting on @els10? X

I'm still here keeping an eye on you all and sending all of the positive thoughts. Want to see you all with those cap and gowns soon! 🥰

hi @ren26, oh happy days, halfway through the TWW already! Funny how it's a necessity to keep yourself busy for that part of the month isn't it haha - I'd bet that our OHs don't think like this. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. X x

Hi. I've not posted in a few days and it looks like I've missed a lot. I'll try and catch up. I'm now 7dpo with af due Sunday so into sympton spotting territory. Got mega sore boobs today - worse than normal...I think! Trying to keep myself busy with reading, running and decluttering the house.

Thanks @kaylsd, I just need to have faith and patience 😂
