@LeopardLover I couldn't even sleep last night because I was just so panicked! My temp has sat at 36.6 for like 6 days now? Is this a good sign? Keep getting bad heartburn too x

Fingers crossed! Almost 21% of pregnant women don't get a positive on DPO 11. I follow the Fertility Homeopath on YouTube and she only recommends testing from 13DPO. You aren't out yet!

I love you’re busting out the facts like me. I love a good percentage stat!

another few here if anyone wants a pick me up today. Feel like we all need it today for some reason. I’ve reached peak ‘fuck off’ with it all.

  • After one month of trying, 38% were pregnant
  • After three months of trying, 68% were pregnant
  • After six months of trying, 81% were pregnant
  • After 12 months of trying, 92% were pregnant

Really random, but my anxiety has been EXTREMELY high today, like the slightest thing I'm panicking over and it's driving me insane. I feel like I'm constantly on edge today. Haven't felt this way for like 5 years! Obviously symptom spotting again but waiting to test until Tuesday. Could this be caused by early pregnancy? I feel so on edge🥲x

Sorry to hear your anxiety is high! TTC puts a lot of pressure on us. Equally, I have a very confident friend who was anxious during pregnancy. So you never know!

Decided to take my bbt this morning for reassurance that I've ovulated (haven't tracked it this month but have done it enough months to have an accurate idea of what is pre/post O).

It's very much at pre ovulation level which is so frustrating. So looks like I got a false peak on the tests I did and false symptoms, and not actually ovulated yet!! Who knows what the spotting was yesterday! 🤯
Can't decide whether to just log out of all apps and think fuck it! I'm not tracking anything anymore between now and our fertility review in a few months, or stock up on opks and throw all my energy in to tracking again.

I'm so fed up of all of this to be honest and the thought of having a few months without the constant mental and emotional fuckery is v appealing but probably not even achievable.

Sorry for the rant here, no need to reply I think it's just helping me to write this all down 🤷‍♀️

Morning you! Oh bless you. I totally get why you feel defeated and deflated. What date was your last period? ‘Generally’ it’s 14 days after day 1 of your last period that you ovulate. So for me, I came on last Tuesday so it should be next Tuesday (ish give or take). Did you say this is month 18 of trying?? Have you booked to see your GP? Have you tracked and monitored your prev cycles? Sorry all the questions. Don’t lose hope tho 💛hope is what keeps us going. and you WILL get pregnant again just a case of when not if. I totally get the mental and emotional strain - maybe a month out won’t be so bad? Get a massage (have wine!!) and Jusy take yourself away for a month. But don’t give up. Your time will 100% happen. Sending love. X

11dpo still negative. I had a bbt rise today but I’m fully expecting it to drop tomorrow and this being yet another failed cycle.

Oh no! What CD are you? 😫 I'm sorry, that's so frustrating.

Tracking can add so much unnecessary stress, I found BBT tracking / analysing really stressful with my son, so I ditched it. I also ovulated a little later than expected this month which also freaked me out. I think it sounds like ditching OPKs and BBT could help you reset? Just until your fertility review?

@justanothermummma I took my own coil out years ago because I'd had it in for ages and was continuously bleeding and they were trying to make me wait another 6 weeks. I couldn't cope with the idea of another 6wks after finally deciding to get it out so I spent over an hour trying to pull it out which I eventually did. Wish I hadn't as now it's one of the things I worry about as a reason for me not conceiving 😣

@chlx3 I'm sorry your feeling so anxious. Anxiety is really awful, I find that even just being in the TWW can make mine spiral with all the unknown. Are you able to spend the day tomorrow doing something to pamper/ treat yourself and take your mind off any symptoms? Xx

justanothermummma · 28/05/2023 23:30

@GeoSmed yeah took her own coil out, twice!! She's all baby'd out now!

I've had friends go through fertility treatment but not ever got the full ins and outs, I'm v curious though. My Mum went through it to have me but has never really discussed it at length.

My friend has recently fell pregnant through ivf after a decade of trying. I learnt as much as I could about the process so I could understand and support her through it. I can never understand her struggle fully, but I really wanted to try to understand the process so I could be a support to her. I hope you get your bfp soon lovely, I really do. X

Sorry I've been quiet, I'm not feeling the best today and been in bed most of the day 🤢 the sun has taken it out of me and I think I'm coming down with something, I'm going be 8dpo tomorrow so going start testing , hope you've all had a lovely weekend ladies 🥰xxx

That sounds promising! Sickness may mean something! X

Canellita · 28/05/2023 22:14

Joining the party. I'm 10DPO today... With symptoms that I only got during my first pregnancy (sore nipples which never happen during a normal cycle in my case). Needless to say that I was super enthusiastic and of course rationally speaking I shouldn't get my hopes up etc...
The problem is that this symptom stopped today... And I got cramps. No periods yet but I'll be so mad at my body if I end up having my period. This is LITERALLY the first time I got sore nipples since trying to conceive for my second child and I'm already at my 12th cycle...

Don’t you be losing faith now Ms @Amy95 your positive pants are coming out to help you through to Tuesday. You got this x

Haha, well if they are anything like our crazy kid, they'll be trying to terrorise her anyway 🤣 he's obsessed with cats!

It's just sooo boring, I think work will be busy next week so hopefully it'll go quickly. My cycles have changed since they returned. Generally 29 days but I had a weird 27 day cycle last month! So who knows 👀 what about you?

I used to find cleaning so therapeutic 🤣 Omgosh and baking! Well jel. Adolf's sleep varies tbh, but at the moment it's great. He's not really been waking up, if he stirs it's just for a nappy change and he stays asleep. But it's all so unpredictable. We've had a really bad sleep journey... I'm into gentle parenting (probably why I'm controlled) 😅 and never had the heart to sleep train. So here we are. Praying #2 sleeps more! X

Awwww I’ll get a pic for him. She looks like an angel, absolute devil. She kills mouse on the regular and she is a right sass queen. She’s also called Mouse so I feel like I set her up to be a killer 😂🙈

are you busy at work next week? I’m hoping it’s everything you want this week. Was day is the big day? I have my scan tomoz so fingers crossed mine have been behaving themselves! I have started getting twinges last few days. 🤞oh wow that’s pretty ‘classic’ 28 day. Theirs only like 13% of people who have a classic 28dayer. So you’re like, perfect 😂 F knows to me. I’ve only had one period (the one this month) in 8 years due to the anovulary cycles and pcos. But this month was 32 so I’ll go with that 😂🤷‍♀️

awww bless him. Good he sleeps through tho. I guess they continue to change for years so any fix is only ever temporary right! Hopefully the next will show his/her brother how it’s done. Tbf I’ll end up like you and be too lax with it. I’d be so buzzing to be a mum I’d be like yeah do what you want I’ll just run round and clean up after you 😂🙈

justanothermummma · 28/05/2023 19:23

@GeoSmed procedure is in two weeks, it's not a priority for the GP, but it's fine to wait! They have said emergencies can possibly take my slot but that's okay. My friend took her own coil out but that was a solid no from me!

Oh wow, that's so interesting! I've never heard of that before!

Yeah it's a weird dull ache on one side and it's sometimes tender to the touch, I'm more aware of it sitting down. It's like a niggly period cramp on one side.. so weird!

2 and 4 almost 3 and 5 mind! V excited to start trying for another! X

Took it out herself?! 😳Christ. You’re alright thanks. Wait for the drs appointment 😂

as in, you’ve not heard of having fertility treatment before? Yeah tbf I get that around ovulation now I’m on treatment as they stimulate them a lot so they can get quite heavy and full so I totally know what you mean! Have you done a lab O test?

awww that’s lush and lovely ages! Fingers crossed you get your 3rd. I’d be happy with one right now 😂

Eeeek! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! Remember only 47.5% of pregnant women get their BFP on 9DPO. So if it's negative, you aren't out!

@justanothermummma It's so sweet they have each other 🥰 Eeeek! School and preschool 😍 so grown up. Perfect timing getting them into school ahead of #3 😉 I'm hoping to conceive in the coming months so my son doesn't start preschool just as the new baby is born 👀

Ah yes, by the time baby arrives they'd both be such great help! I bet they'd love it too 😊

justanothermummma · 28/05/2023 19:58

@LeopardLover I hear you! My four year old is so independent and loving school and my two year old is so chatty and copies her big sister, she's starting the school preschool in October and then she's no longer the baby!

The tantrums are something else, but the cuteness wins every time! I think they'd be super helpful with a baby now. My eldest was probably too little when we had our second but they're super close now so it was worth the tough phase!

Still a small gap for having a third but them both being at school will make a huge difference!

LeopardLover · 28/05/2023 19:53

@Sealover123 Neither, just bored of waiting over here 🤣 not all pregnancies are the same so you never know!

@justanothermummma Hahaha gosh, this is going to be me. Your little ones are such sweet ages 😍 My son just turned 2. His tantrums are next level but he's starting to talk more which is the cutest. 💕

@chlx3 Definitely still time for that BFP, if you implanted a little later you won't see that BFP until at least 12DPO!

Does anyone else resort to retail therapy to pick themselves up? I'm not even out yet but I know I am. It's okay, but I've ordered myself a relatively expensive dress to cheer myself up for when the BFN drops 🤣 why am I like this!?
