Preparing to TTC in 2022

@HeathenPlayingHouse hope all goes well at your appointment!

@Dreamingof3 your comment about weight made me chuckle! I'm someone who is fit (run 20 plus miles a week, about 20 plus waking and 5 CrossFit sessions a week), but midwives had kittens with my weight being slightly over with DD. She was measuring small and all I got from everyone was "it's because you're over weight".
Same with us struggling to TTC.."you could lose a stone" 😳 like that's going to sort my depleted egg supply! 😂

@HeathenPlayingHouse thats fab you've got your appointment soon! Why is weight their answer to everything 🤣

I think the fact you know you would like proper answers will mean you will push for them!

I hope it goes well!

@LilyDaniels I think people mean well, but probably say these things because THEY feel uncomfortable- I once told a friend we were struggling TTC, and she told me that she had also struggled for years with DH1 but got pregnant very quickly with DH2.

I loved her for trying to relate, but I did feel like snarking "Cool, I'll just leave OH, then. Problem solved!" 🙄

As for me, I am in shock. The gynaecology department called, and my appointment is next Monday!

I'm worried they won't take me as seriously now that the bleeding has stopped, but hopefully I can get some answers other than "just lose weight".

I’m the same! I sadly haven’t told most my friends either as they all were like “you’re so young live your life” 🙈 at any idea of a baby in the immediate future and that put me off! Everyone’s circumstances in life are so different!

Sending baby dust to you too!

None of my friends are trying either - I feel like I bore everyone with my cycle updates! Don't you just hate when people say "relax, don't try too hard and it will happen". 🤪
Sending baby dust your way for June!

Hi there! Wondered if I could join? Me and my OH have been TTC for 2 cycles seriously but 4 since my coil was removed! On 12dpo and BFN this morning so expecting my AF in a few days now! I know I’ve only been seriously trying for 2 months but you do get disappointed don’t you! No-one I know is trying too so felt like joining a thread could help with other people going through the same process!

Morning all,
I'm day 22 of my cycle and it's my 8th day of flashing smiley using the clear blue ovulation tests!
My partner went away on day 16 and won't be back for another week... So I've given up hope of conceiving this month :(
Besides the disappointment of not conceiving, I'm also gutted I'm ovulating so late, although this is only my third natural cycle after stopping Microgynon after ten years.
Feeling DEFLATED!!
Fingers crossed for June 🤞

Congratulations to all the new BFP's!

Pink tinged mucus has continued on and off. Waited for a call from EPU yesterday who told me that in fact the midwife I spoke to on Saturday didn't refer me at all!!!!

Private scan booked for tonight.

@WingingIt09 I think I did 7 🤣🤣 still high but definitely peak earlier today! Oh came home and I said I hope you're not too tired and showed him the tests 🙈

@Theawkwardblonde that is bad timing...but hopefully af won't turn up! 🤞

@LucyLoopyLu good luck to you too!

And @hevann hope you're having a great holiday with lots of baby dancing 😉🤩

Going to dtd tomorrow as well and then I'll be in my first 2 week wait 😄

@WingingIt09 Congratulations! Fabulous news!

@SylvieArth you might find this thread useful www.mumsnet.com/talk/conception/4542877-one-year-ttc-part-3
not to say you, of course, aren’t welcome here! Sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time :(

Congrats @WingingIt09 !! 🎉

@LucyLoopyLu oh that's exciting you've got your peak! Have you DTD in the days leading up ? Even just say to him we need to get at it more to up the chances then he won't get suspicious and may start initiating more. It's hard though I'm 27 and partner is mid 30s and He works late nights at times. Life just makes it hard to be spontaneous compared to years ago when we didn't live together and like yous couldn't keep our hands off each other

Congratulations @WingingIt09 !!!!!

I'm in my TWW of first month. I forgot how nerve wracking it is!
I'm due on next week when on holiday with family 🤦🏼‍♀️ couldn't be worse timing as I know I'll be disappointed if AF arrives!

@Dreamingof3 good luck!
I think I will be getting my peak today or tomorrow. I have had 3 high OPKs yesterday and this morning and going to do another now 🤞 currently stressing about how to initiate DTD on a random Monday which is very out of character (my OH doesn't know I'm doing the OPKs / don't want to put pressure on)

Can't help thinking this would be so much easier in our 20s as we never seemed to keep our hands off each other 😄

Sorry I haven't been on much and I'm currently in Turkey which happens to be my fertile week 🤣 fingers crossed for a BFP this month.

Lovely to come back on to see so many BFP's congratulations to you all 🥰 x

Got my peak 🤞😬

@WingingIt09 congratulations!!

@WingingIt09 congratulations 🎉

Haha @WingingIt09 I don't blame you! ✂️✂️

Congratulations everyone! I hope that those that are pregnant are having an uneventful time and coping well xxx
