TTC chat thread 4

@Crazycatlady19 @MamaSJ15 I feel like I may be imagining it all now! Maybe I am..
Is your temp supposed to be higher when you're pregnant? As I'm only 36.5 xxx

I now seem to have a metallic taste but I feel like implantation hasn't happened yet as my temp is 36.9? So clearly imagining it all

@Crazycatlady19 @Alice1608 the cycle that I had all the symptoms ended up being not pregnant. For me it seems the less symptoms the better! With my DD I had nothing until day after AF was due and then I just had lower back ache and light cramps and the month I had a miscarriage I also didn't have symptoms. I'm pretty sure our body plays tricks on us! I'm hoping all these things are good signs for you guys but it wasn't for me specifically unfortunately!
I'm currently CD13, still low on OPKs so thinking ovulation may not return to day 14 yet but you never know, will keep testing!

I'm chalking mine up to imagining it! (I don't want to feel stupid when I test negative in a week's time...! 🙀)

Omg I'm 7DPO and I'm feeling things too! I feel like I'm going mad now though! 😒 xxx

I feel this so much. I'm also 7dpo and I keep feeling nauseous especially with food but I don't know if that's because I had an unrelated doctors appointment today or if it's like a placebo effect?

Gahhhhh! Really dizzy....

Morning everyone (more like afternoon now). I have 2 cats and have never had pets prior to them so I treat them like babies. One of them loves me but is scared of anyone else (drives DH mad) and the other is a dreadful scavenger! Both rescue cats.

Trying to forget it's 7DPO today. I feel things, think I'm going mad (sore boobs, cramping etc) then think most people have said they haven't felt a thing when pg. I'm refusing to psych myself out today and won't test before AF is due. Spent waaaaay too much money and energy on testing early last month....

Work is ridiculously busy so that keeps my mind off it all to an extent.

I have one DD already (3) and she's a good girl but a toddler so all the stress that comes along with that and a full time job where I work nearly 50 hours a week. 😝

So day 3 and 7DPO) of symptoms now and these are now, cramping, nausea, bloating, not hungry, gas and constipation 🤣 I'm hoping this is all a good thing and I'm not just making it all up in my head! Also resisting the urge to continually test as I know its too early! Lol xxx

Welcome to all the new arrivals and good luck!! @Crazycatlady19 love the name, fellow crazy cat lady here 😻
@Tropicana1 still just incredibly tired, although since waking this morning have felt mildly dizzy/seasick whenever I move so am wondering if it's the start of the morning sickness... DH has severe anxiety over people being sick so have given him warning 😂
@MrsCristiano you've certainly given it a good go so fingers crossed for you!
@MamaSJ15 sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday, hopefully a better one today!

@MamaSJ15 aww bless you! Well like you said, new day today! Lol xxx

@Alice1608 aw nice, that's a big age gap too, but I get the feeling scared. I had a really rough delivery with my DD and it's scared us too, it took a good while for us to decide on having another. Shes 3 now, but we really want her to have a sibling.
Thank you, was just having one of those nights, husband and daughter both winding me up 😂 won't bore you with the details, today is a new day so let's start a fresh!

Hello @canonlyhopexo and @Crazycatlady19 🙋🏼‍♀️

@Alice1608 thank you! We are eloping to Las Vegas as that's the kinda people we are small group going over and it's been broadcast to those who can't make it! Saved us a fortune and it's my last whoop 😂

How soon after coming off the pill did people start doing ovulation tests? I haven't had a period for ages as I have the desogestral so just go back to back... no idea what my cycle is like! No idea what fertility would be like but googling stats it looks positive!

@MrsCristiano oooo this is good then! I just have to hold out till at least 11DPO to test! Pray for me that I dont let my impatience get the better of me! Lol xxx

@Alice1608 yes! Exactly what I meant to say in a roundabout way. For me anyway! God im tired 😴

Aww congrats @PPop! My wedding is on 4th November! ☺️
I think you seem covered for the moment, well done with the vitamins, I sidnt know about this the first time.around! Lol xx

@MrsCristiano so you go too much when on your period and then feel the need to go but can't when things maybe pointing towards a pregnancy? I never knew this before! Lol
I just know I have the cramps like the monthly and this normally indicates needing the toilet, so I know something is different now. Lol not to mention I'm not due for another 8 days and feel abit queasy lol

And ha! Maybe you did marry a sadist lol but he is certainly questioning his choices from the spare room.tonight haha xxx

4 weeks Friday to the wedding and then it's pills in bin time... been loading on the pregnacare conception vitamins - has anyone else noticed stronger smelling/more yellow wee when having this?
Any hints/tips for starting this journey would be amazing! Excited but super nervous in case something is wrong!

@Alice1608 shockingly it turned him on. I think I'm married to a sadist 😅

Thank you @MrsCristiano hope you have a more restful evening tonight. I feel your pain sometimes, it can be like that for me at times! 🤍

@Tropicana1 I have 2 cats. They hate me.

@Alice1608 I think constipation is one of my earliest signs. If I'm going too much I know I'm out b4 a bfn. I've a big age gap too. DD 16 but was a whooper of 8lb 13 at birth

Thank you @Alice1608 💖

@Tropicana1 I haven't seen my consultant since my debrief appointment in December 2018 when I was already 7 or so weeks with my first, and I haven't spoken to anyone about second time round. The wait time for a lap atm is years. This would be cycle 6 which even for someone with no issues is quick conception I believe (should it happen now). But then again, if I went to GP and said it's only been 6 months would they tell me to try for longer before a referral - or because there's already concerns identified they'd "accept" it - I had kinda pushed it to the back of my mind tbh so unsure as to what to do really x

@MrsCristiano haha your DH doesn't sound funny in your posts and so very supportive! Did the cry out in pain not deter him? Lol xx

@Alice1608 all good now. I'm absolutely shattered though. DH sleeping in spare room tonight too in case he gets over amorous..I think I scared him last night 😂

Welcome @canonlyhopexo and @Crazycatlady19 ❤️

I can't remember but is it normal to feel like you need to go to no.2 and can't? This has all started since the cramping.. and similar to monthly cramping, although then I normally have a slight case of abnormal stools. No idea is this is all normal and good signs or not? (Sorry if too much info! I just couldn't think of a polite way to word!lol) xxx
