Hi I'm Zoe,

24 years old, mum to two girls and currently on CD1 (period started today boo :( ) on our 10th month of trying to conceive baby number three. Miscarriage in May at 6 weeks.

Been a tough old journey, and actually a pretty lonely one too as no one knows we're trying again!

Looking for some wonderful buddies who are on a similar journey. 😊

Ok so now is the time to be DTD. Well this weekend for sure. But I feel horrific.
Awaiting PCR results as we speak.

Question is. Power on. Or admit defeat this cycle?!

😂😂

Hi I'm about to start ttc baby number 3. Came off the pill two weeks ago so waiting for af now. Have a feeling I'm ovulating but want to wait until next month to start although also wondering if we should just enjoy Christmas and start the month after. I'm 35 though so don't want months to keep passing by.

Here's one for you ladies.

Every time I buy a cheap batch of pregnancy tests, I always test one with tap water - It's something I've read about online.

So my new batch came, I tested one with tap water. Low and behold - POSITIVE!

So either my water is pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ Or they are faulty. This has happened a few times now!!

Be careful what tests to trust ladies x

Hi 👋 can i join in?
Af due Friday, light brown/ light red discharge today. Feeling pretty low. We've been at it 15 months with a mc earlier in the year.

katem22 · 24/11/2021 20:18

@Sunrise321 Yes! It’s something that obviously becomes a big part of your everyday life - trying, thinking and planning, and yet it’s a big secret.

katem22 · 24/11/2021 20:16

@tryingforbabyh Snap! Also 30 and trying for my first!

@Sunrise321
Of course😊

Do you speak about TTC much with your partner? I remember about 5/6 months in for us my partner kept making excuses.. We ended up falling out and he actually told me really he was worried it was his fault we weren't conceiving. Do you think it could be anything like that with you?

Since then we've had much better months x

@AdaJones26 is your day3 to test your AMH and is that effectively how many eggs you have left?

I think when I phone back up I will maybe try and push for these. I realise I will need to go private eventually if I need IVF so I am not wanting to be throwing money around just now if I can get some tests on the NHS by the GP

Tinkerbell098 · 23/11/2021 17:01

@Hopefullywaiting01234 yes it's crazy at the minute. No GP never suggested doing Day 3, and no idea why.

AdaJones26 · 23/11/2021 16:06

@hopefullywaiting01234 My AF started today. I will be having my CD3 blood test on Thursday. I have paid privately to have them done. I do it at home and then send it off. My blood will be tested for 8 different things. I wanted to put my mind at rest because of the backlog etc.

Hopefullywaiting01234 · 23/11/2021 15:31

@Tinkerbell098 really a year 😭! That is extremely frustrating when I know you will be feeling that all
you do is wait!

I had day 21 bloods the other month, they had to be repeated then the GP sent me a letter saying “I ovulated and hope this puts me mind at rest”. I am still not pregnant so no my mind is not at rest. They ran some other basic bloods but never done day 3 bloods not sure the reasoning for that, have you had any of these?
