Preparing to TTC in 2022

@LucyLoopyLu Yeah each time I had my jab it messed it up, then I had a good few months of normality, and then covid pushed it off course again. There seems to be more studies looking into it, but as always with womens health, it’s not a priority.

@hevann you're definitely right about your brain playing tricks, mine has been convincing me I am pregnant, then convincing me I'm not, on and off for the past week.

@LaVutesse2022 good luck for your half marathon! I signed up to a work fitness thing so maybe for the best I'm not pregnant for that either, it's going to be tough!

@dearhummingbirds weird that you said about covid and your cycle. I wonder if that's happened with me? I started my last period the day after I tested positive for covid so maybe it has thrown my cycle off this time? I should have a look and see if my last 35 day cycle was around the time of my booster jab - I did have a really short cycle last year when I had my first covid jab so could be possible (I had Pfizer first and then Moderna booster).

@worryant good to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your sickness but glad to hear about your due date! Exciting to know you're having a boy!

@Heathenplayinghouse glad your bleeding has stopped, a bit of relief for a while at least!

@Tropicana1 will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞 you're not out yet

@hevann I’m not sure how reliant the Fitbit one is in that it’s good at tracking, but as soon as it’s gone past what it expects it just keeps saying it’s due in one day, in my experience. Just keeps rolling it on until you log it.

Congratulations @Anonymouslyposting there a great line!!
Feeling like I'm probably out this month, 10dpo negative this morning and period due in 2 days but we'll see I suppose. Had my usual pre period cramps yesterday but less so today 🤷🏼‍♀️

@LucyLoopyLu Flo app said I was due Sunday but Fitbit says tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️ the Flo app has been right ish since I started so I'm not actually sure. I do think I'm more aware of things now than I was before but I also think my brain plays tricks because we're so desperate to have a baby its been 17 years to get to a point where we're both on board & the timing is right! Ha! x

@dearhummingbirds I haven't had covid, managed to avoid it so far. I think my body is just being weird! Lol! x

@Anonymouslyposting that is a great line! Congratulations 🎉 x

@Anonymouslyposting Congratulations! That's a great second line!

I'm feeling pretty good, I have to say! My bleeding had stayed away so I'm assuming it'll be the long break between periods now- TMI but it's just nice to get a break from wearing a pad 24/7!

My OPK has been around a 0.5, only got 2 left though so I doubt I'll catch any surge.

Loving all the BFPs ❤️

Yay @Anonymouslyposting! A lovely line for 10dpo! Congrats

@anonymouslyposting definitely a line! Congrats :)

@Anonymouslyposting thats a pretty clear line! Cautious and gentle congrats! X

I caved and did a test at 10dpo, trying not to get my hopes up but…

Hello everyone! I lost the thread for a while and had dropped off the face of the earth as my pregnancy sickness has been not good. Have been in bed mainly!
It’s wonderful to see so many BFPs in the group!!! Huge congrats to everyone expecting and sending baby dust to everyone actively trying.
Little update - I’m at 14 weeks, due date is now 14th Nov and we know it’s a boy 💙. Lots of love to all x

@hevann
Have you had covid recently? My last two cycles have been thrown by it - both an extra 15 days longer than normal and more spotting in between.

Thank you @WingingIt09 @dearhummingbirds @lj2022

Feeling much better now and definitely unreasonable to expect first time go lucky. On the bright side I've got a half marathon this Sunday which I wouldn't go if I tested positive. Will be giving it my all now knowing it's probably the last one for a while ✌

Congratulations @LemonZestDribbles 🥳

@hevann that's weird, is your period late? Spotting and then stopping seems a bit odd with a BFN. I wonder if our bodies are just being weird or if we are just hyper aware of everything so notice more

@LemonZestDribbles congratulations 🎉

I tested last night a BFN need to buy some more tests today. Seems like the spotting may have stopped & no sign of AF. I wish it would make its mind up I go to Turkey next week . Would rather not be on my period for it 🙄 x

@LemonZestDribbles 😂

I've just done a test this morning- BFN. Still no trace of AF! Maybe the 35.day cycle wasn't such an outlier after all.

@LemonZestDribbles hahahahaha 🤣

Congratulations! @LemonZestDribbles 🎉

@WingingIt09 you can add me to pregnant next time (touchwood!!!) Edd 22nd January 🥳🥳

@Tropicana1 @LucyLoopyLu I had raging pmt last week (or so I thought) so never let it count you out. Apparently my dh was just being a dick.

@LucyLoopyLu I have definitely had the PMS anger today! Absolutely no patience for anything.
It's hard isn't it, because you wait to TTC until the "right time" but then sort of forget while you're waiting that there's no guarantees how long it will take you when you do start

@WingingIt09 thanks, I'm 30, will be TTC number 2!
Also it's the app, a few other threads I'm on have been losing the paragraphs!

@Tropicana1 it's annoying isn't it! I know I have only just started trying but I so want to have a baby. Been waiting 2 years to TTC and I'm feeling pretty annoyed at all the other people who have their babies now. 🤣

I'm sure it is PMT making me so emotional 😂
