TTC JUNE BABY part 2 ❤️🤞✨🍼👶🏼

@Sparklythings1 Oh that is pretty good odds isn't it!
What is pre seed?
How old is your first child?

@Booklover88 im a teacher too!

It’s ridiculous how many people think it’s fine to ask about people’s extremely personal circumstances! I watched a video the other day that said ‘reproduction is not small talk’ and I thought that’s so true. You literally have no idea what people’s situation is and it’s so hard to kind of brush off the conversation quickly when you’re trying. I have a little boy already but feel like that just opens the flood gates to the comments. Since going back to work I’ve had people outright ask if I’m having another one, when I’ll have another one etc and I think every time, that comment appeared fine to ask in their mind but how do they know I haven’t had a miscarriage last week? 🤦🏼‍♀️ It puts people in such an awkward position

@skyofdiamonds jeez that sounds awful, so sorry. I’m always terrified of having a chemical but think if I don’t test too early maybe I just wouldn’t know but there’s clearly no avoiding that ☹️ I came off the pill last month and just got my first proper period yesterday. We did slightly try last month but had originally planned just to let that cycle pass before trying so I wasn’t too gutted. Just feel like I’m wishing the time away to be able to be back to the time when we can try again

@LavenderWillow congratulations ! Amazing 🎉 hope it all goes well. I’m an anxious person too. I wasn’t sick til 8 weeks last time but I do think most of it was in my head, I’d get up in the morning and think about being sick then urgently need to be sick because I couldn’t stop thinking I was going to be 🙄 I was always fine if I could get past the bathroom and downstairs for something to eat

@Cm078 I was quite surprised when reading the odds of getting pregnant in the first year and saw the first month can be as high as a 38% chance which is quite good odds I’d say! Within the first three months is 70 odd % so that would be true for us! I used preseed last time but did track ovulation. This time I’m trying not to be so regimented with dtd every night like we did last time but I am still doing ovulation tests constantly so its not like it makes me relax any 😂

I thought AF was coming yesterday but not here yet… I’m 9 days late and really just want her to come so I can start with the next cycle, it’s CD32 and I’m usually 20-24 day cycles, so frustrating but trying to forget about it so I don’t stress myself out!

Congratulations @LavenderWillow !! So thrilled for you! What cycle is this do you mind me asking and did you do anything different?

Congratulations @LavenderWillow!!

@skyofdiamonds I know the feeling I get asked pretty much everyday if I want kids and when! I know people are just making conversation but it’s so bloody annoying 🤣🤣 I always get comments like oh make the most of doing this before you have kids, or you’ll understand when you’ve had them🙄

I told myself I wouldn’t be obsessed, but here I am… being obsessed!
I also keep thinking it’s going to come early! I don’t want it to but also want it out the way!
I haven’t done ovulation tests yet but I can tell from CM and my body screaming at me to DTD when i ovulated!

I also keep getting questions at work from colleagues about when is it my turn to have kids/am I going to etc, so I just answer no, then get aww maybe just get another dog instead then!
I absolutely detest it and have no idea how to answer them, I don’t know what people want to hear when they ask that.

I’m 8 DPO now, no more spotting today so seems quite positive. Not going to test for a little while though! We DTD CD 16 and 18 and day 18 was when I got the positive ovulation test so assuming I ovulated CD 19 or 20. Before my miscarriage ovulation was CD 9-10 so a big difference!

How are you?

Thanks for adding me from the last thread @NSx

Congratulations @LavenderWillow such lovely news! 🎉

Welcome to @Rose559 and @Booklover88 how are you both today?

I am on CD8 so we have commenced the BD. Six days out from ovulation still. I’m feeling excited but almost nervous. Right now it feels like there is potential and hope.

@skyofdiamonds yes you’re not alone!💗 I really thought I’d of got my period early by my cramps last night! Wish I didn’t symptom spot so much🤣

if I’m not pregnant this cycle I think I’m going to take a break from ovulation tests and just go with it! I felt really obsessed with them this cycle🤦🏻‍♀️

First time posting but have been lurking!

2nd cycle since coming off pill (July).

1st cycle was a chemical that was absolute agony, never known any pain like it, I didn’t even test but ED did I went as thought I had a ruptured appendix or torsion as was rolling around the floor screaming and vomiting from the pain. Im glad to have to have that behind me!

2nd cycle now. AF due Tuesday and 99.9% sure she’s on her way, I’m getting period cramps today. 2 x BFNs yesteday and today. DTD 3 days before ovulation so knew chances were slim.

I just wish she’d hurry up and come so I can try again. All my closest friends are pregnant, everyone I know is pregnant or has kids now. It’s a pretty lonely place to be, even though I’m very new to this. I felt the need to post as I can see some of you in the exact same position as me, right down to dates!

Thank you so much for all your replies. Been sat in bed reading them this morning feeling much less alone than I did yesterday. I’m a teacher and have worked at my school a long time-I get asked on a weekly basis if we’re thinking of having children with people not knowing that that’s basically all I think about!

Really hope there’s some positive news for us all soon and my heart really does go out to those of you who have suffered losses. I think you’re all so brave and strong. Lots of warriors in this group!

Congratulations @LavenderWillow amazing news! 💕

Thank you girls!!

I BBT so had my spike on CD 18. Got my peak OPK on CD 16.

I was actually away on holiday last weekend with copious amounts of alcohol, but only 1/2 DPO then!

symptom wise I wrote stuff down every day, I had:
wet cm around 5/6 DPO
tender boobs from 5 DPO (I usually get this before AF but I had a feeling it was a bit earlier than normal.)
hungry really quickly after eating.
I was quite tired but I put that down to post holiday return to work.
I had twinges and cramps from 4 DPO and have had every day.
I felt really sick/nervous/anxious in the afternoon 7 DPO and came home from work a bit early to lie down.

I have anxiety anyway so I’m never really sure if it’s nausea or my anxiety! 😂

Congratulations!! Amazing news!!

@LavenderWillow congratulations! Lovely news!

Congratulations @LavenderWillow!! Great that the digital has picked it up so early!

@ChloeN @NSx totally just waiting for af. Tested at 10dpo and negative (pointless test) and no symptoms since then to suggest I might be pregnant. I'm probably just going to wait for af now and maybe test again if it's late (or if I get any crazy symptoms in the next 48hrs!).

Trying to stay positive and mentally prepare for next cycle.

Hi ladies! I got my BFP this morning!

im sorry if this is triggering for people - I can’t believe it myself!

I’m 9 DPO, AF was due in 5 days, decided to take a FRER and then when I saw a line whipped out a couple of other tests.

I ovulated on CD17,
DTD on CD 9, 11, 13, 14 and 16.

fjngers crossed it’s a sticky baby.

@NSx everything feels like a symptom doesn’t it🤣 me too I’m going to wait, only a few days to go now and feel like I’ll be annoyed if I test and then start bleeding 5 mins later 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

@NSx @FieldView think I’m 11/12dpo and due Tuesday/Wednesday too! I don’t feel pregnant at all, thought I was coming on my period last night as had some cramps and back ache but seems to have disappeared! Xx
