May I join? We have finally made the decision that it’s now or never so we have started to try! Fairly confident we’re out this month. Never really focused too much on planning around ovulation for our first LO, we just went with the flow but not as easy with a LO.

How are everyone? Sorry to hear of peoples difficult experiences 😞 sending though and 💐

Wow even her pears were laughing at her.

@TheBirdintheCage oh that's good 😊 I hope it doesn't take too long for you x

TheBirdintheCave · 29/03/2022 23:40

@lovesT Yes my husband has taken a few days off work to look after me :) We’re doing ok, just keen to get back to trying.

lovesT · 29/03/2022 19:17

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so sorry 😞😞 take care of yourself over the next few days, that must have been very difficult news 😞 I hope you have support around you x

TheBirdintheCave · 29/03/2022 18:38

After a five week spell on the pregnancy board I’m back. MMC was diagnosed this morning ☹️

lovesT · 29/03/2022 17:33

I feel like I need a hug/ Mumsnet support 😄. On the plus side, I've had a lovely long luteal phase this month (about 14 days today!) which is great after last month was 10. I've been having mild cramps for a few days mostly in my back and twinges here and there. Sore boobs which feel more sore today. But about 3/4 cycles ago my cycle was 31/32 days and I'm on day 31 so very much expecting I might come on tomorrow 😥 I'm too scared to test, somehow waiting for me period feels a bit easier even though each time I go to the loo I'm dreading it haha.

This waiting is horrible and I don't know why I'm doing it to myself! But each day for the last few days I've been thinking okay I'm sure I'll come on today. I still could today! Or tomorrow ...

The frustrating thing is I felt like I was coming on when I was pregnant with my daughter but I don't remember how crampy I was, just that I did feel like I was coming on ... Ugghhh

Hugs please 😅

lovesT · 28/03/2022 17:43

@Kelbelz17 welcome! It's so frustrating and disheartening each time isn't it 😥. Are you taking any vitamins??

Kelbelz17 · 28/03/2022 14:39

Hi can I join please? TTC for 6 months now with ovulation tests but still not happening, finding it stressful and nor sure if anyone has any other tips to help please? I'm turning 34 shortly and I keep reading lots of unhelpful articles about how mu fertility will decline rapidly at this age 😭

lovesT · 28/03/2022 13:10

@Skylark haha why not if you're feeling up to it! 😊😊

Skylark1990 · 28/03/2022 11:42

Just got a positive opk I think! Am full of cold but think I'll try to get DH in the mood and give it a go this month... Haha can't resist now I've seen the opk!

Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2
Skylark1990 · 27/03/2022 13:36

Ahhh my fingers are crossed for you @lovesT! I hope this month you get a BFP. Can definitely relate to the fear and uncertainty of course.
Good idea to just wait and see and focus on the other things in your life! Distraction is key 👌🤞

I'm doing ok, still not sure if I want to ttC this month. I've done my treatment now (course of antibiotics) so could theoretically try but not sure if I want to wait a cycle to get myself feeling better 💯🤞 it's CD 13 today but no ewcm yet or positive opk - but yeah Def should think about doing the deed soon if we are going to try this month 😂

lovesT · 26/03/2022 11:45

Is anyone else due to come on in the next few days? I'm dreading the disappointment haha xx

lovesT · 25/03/2022 20:16

As much as I try not to get my hopes up and think about it I know I'll be so sad when af arrives 😥

lovesT · 25/03/2022 11:54

@Skylark1990 thank you for asking ❤️ I'm okay, I've been trying not to think about it all too much (pretty much impossible!!) We're moving this coming week so trying to focus on that and I'm trying to assume it won't happen this month as my husband was away so we could only dtd about 2 days before ovulation. I know it's possible but he went away the day I got my peak so 🤷.

I think in the next few days I should know either way but because I'm trying not to think about it I haven't looked at my cycle day and I'm too scared to again 😂.

I have a lack of certain symptoms and a few things that makes me wonder but I'm trying to tell myself it could all mean nothing 😬😬😅.

Good thing is I feel better even just from taking vit b complex and vitamin C! I feel better in myself so that can't be bad.

I'm also not stressed at all this month ...

How are you doing??

Sorry for the very long reply! 😄

Skylark1990 · 25/03/2022 11:18

@lovesT how are you going? xx

bleachblondemom · 22/03/2022 20:12

@Skylark1990 don’t worry I knew what you meant ☺️ Thank you

Skylark1990 · 22/03/2022 18:53

And of course @bleachblondemom I meant that I hope conceiving happens again for you super soon, just read that sentence back and it sounded off - sorry! X

Skylark1990 · 22/03/2022 18:52

@Chanel05 just responding to your comment a while back - that was cycle 4, but on cycle 2 I got pregnant then had an early miscarriage so not sure if I count from there or before... Since MC it was cycle 2, but first month after MC we didn't really try.

Sorry to everyone who has had negative tests/AF recently 😔 hope next cycle brings a BFP for you all ❤️.

@Graceybaby how much vitamin c are you taking? Kiwis are super high in C too so I'm sure that's helping!

@bleachblondemom so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope it happens again for you soon x 💗

@lovesT how are you? X

Chanel05 · 22/03/2022 12:35

@bleachblondemom totally understand that feeling. There's nothing like desperation to be pregnant again after a loss Thanks

OP posts:
bleachblondemom · 22/03/2022 11:07

Cycle 3 here. I know 3 cycles isn’t a lot but when you’re trying to make up for a loss, every cycle feels more desperate.

Chanel05 · 22/03/2022 10:51

@bleachblondemom sorry af got you! I'm out too. Cd1 today, came on at 2am 🙄. Cycle 7 now 😬.

OP posts:
Graceybaby · 20/03/2022 13:23

Bleachblondemom I'm sorry it's AF! It's so sh*t isn't it. Feeling very fed up today too! Fingers crossed next month's your month Xxx

bleachblondemom · 20/03/2022 13:05

Nope it’s def AF, so it was all in my head :(
