He just thinks it's weird and I said well Google tells me I'm basically dying whenever I search my symptoms so it's nice to ask other girls if they have the same! He said there's no point getting worried about it because it will happen soon but that's so much easier said than done!
If my MIL told me to chill I'd be fuming 🤣 she stresses me out more than anyone! I talk to a girl on Snapchat about Ttc and he always asks who it is, so I say and he says it's weird. I feel like men don't understand what we go through every month, especially the tww! It's so stressful. And the testing and planning and taking vitamins ect whereas they just chill and don't really think about it😅 if I didn't mention it to him or anyone, I think I'd drive myself insane! xx

Haha yeah tell him would you rather me panic over everything and ask you all the time, or tell some random people I Don't know every detail about my CM and period pains 😂That's such a bloke response. My husband said that too, I was like it's alright for you, your bits all work properly 😂And they totally don't! how old are you if you don't mind me asking, and are you married? All they have to do is rock up, have some sex, then bugger off again! bxx

Admin assistant, it's very boring I been there 10 years , omg that's so funny 😂😂😂 you are not a woman to mess with xx

Honestly I bet I'm coming across as a psycho! I'm really not, I just work from home all day hahaha.
That's good tho that you have something reliable and not too stressful so you can focus on home life - works for paying bills after all, not life xx

Where do you work and what do you do? I lost my shit at 2 lads in the gym the other day when I went to use something and they said 'we're using that' (they were sat on a bench on Insta) and I said 'are you tho? I mean you're not are you, you're on insta. How about you come to the gym and actually work out?? Novel I know!'' I told my husband when I got back and he was was like wow what a bitch! haha

I'm gonna tell you to relax on day 12 now you wait!! x

I was like that yesterday, I was not a happy bunny 😂 one of the boys in work asked me is it my time of the month 😂😂 ranting is good , it's really hard to relax when your ttc so many people have so many opinions it annoys me so much xx

If someone said that to me, I'd instantly be pissed off🤣 my partner said it to me about 2 years ago when we first got together, hasn't said it since 🤣 my boyfriend thinks it's weird that I have this app because he's like you don't need to talk to anyone about it, it's weird. But sometimes it's just nice to talk to people that are in the same boat x

Defo!! I've not told my partner I'm on it as he'd have something to say about it am sure! he shouted at me the other day for consulting Dr Google on what every symptom meant, and then got mad when I said that apparently I had a brain tumor that's why I was having headaches! 😂I love that you just told him straight that no one relaxes, especially when someone tells you to relax! It's usually women who say it though to other women trying to conceive (i'm generalising here at my MIL!!) But I get you - it is nice to talk. If it makes him feel better, start a private group chat with us and then it's not for everyone to see :-) xx

That's an interesting thought, maybe!? Although we were doing crazy house renovations the month I fell pregnant! So I wasn't really chilling but was probably distracted 😅

I thought I was due 3rd June but after logging my positive OPK it has moved to 4th! I'm only going to start being really disappointed from end of August I think as I'd really love a Spring / Summer baby. I also need to sort my diet out 👀

Omgosh the relax thing makes me MAD! The opposite of relaxed. Some people talk without thinking.

This is our first month trying properly but we've been keeping it a secret. My friend has also just started TTC #2 so I know I'll probably be disappointed if she falls pregnant first 🤣 she's younger than me!

Haha perhaps more 'distracted' than relaxed then! I'm hoping that theory works for us this month as our TWW is so busy with weddings and friends visiting, so hopefully we'll ''Relax'' 😉How old were you when you had your first?

Try not to be disappointed, although I know that is so easy to say, but not so easy to do! That's something I have had to come to terms with having to have fertility treatment, that you have to have hope, as that is what keeps us going and keeps us positive and going again the next month. Every single month is a chance to change everything, just take each one month by month - you got this! 💜

Oh gosh can you imagine? my best mate is the same so I feel you! Should have odd on it happening - could make some money in the process haha xx

Haha honestly I'm not sure who they think will benefit from that as I can guarantee that no one has ever turned round and said 'oh gee thanks I totally hadn't even thought about that! Thanks for your advice, after all this time, the only thing that I needed was to relax! Who knew''. Wow i'm ranty today! @😂

What a lush story!! That's lovely! I've heard that you know - the months you think, no chance, it happens. Maybe it's because you're relaxed more? Honestly tho, if one more person tells me to relax i'm going to knock them out 😂I'll tell you to relax when you're injecting fuck loads of horomones in your body every day 😅I'm not bitter I promise 👀

When are you due on this month? Fingers crossed for you!!! Is this your first real month of it? xx

I only found out about the very specific window for conception when my friend explained it me when she became pregnant. I was very much an adult at the time!
I then had to explain it all to my husband when we decided to try for our first.
@GeoSmed this will be our second. We already have a 17 month old. Who has been a breeze of a baby. Which apparently means im in for a nightmare toddler. And also probably means I won't know what's hit me if we are lucky enough to have a second and they're not so laid back! Xx

Haha not going to lie, I was that person also! It was actually only when we came off the pill 20 months ago then was like why haven't I had a period? and realised that their was a lot more to it than I thought! Little did I know I had PCOS and needed fertility treatment haha 😆So I can laugh, cuz that was me lol!!

That's amazing you have a little one already - so please for you!! girl or boy> And did you manage to conceive easily last time? And yes defo! I'm routing for twins so I don't have to pay again for more treatment to have our second. Everyone said I'm mad 😂

When are you due this month? You're meant to be super fertile in your 2 years post birth right? xx

@GeoSmed Last time I had zero symptoms until AF was due! Then one night I had REALLY bad cramping, I was convinced it was a painful period. But nope 🥰 I only tested at 18DPO. My periods can be a little irregular sometimes and I didn't think I was pregnant!

The cycles I convinced myself I was pregnant, I wasn't 😅 I was a lot fitter back then though.

I was one of them people who just thought it happened 😂 I never had any answers for it I was rushed into hospital as I'd lost so much blood , my AF is due 3rd of June xx

Well we've been trying for the last 2 years I've never tracked before cause it just confused me 😂 and didn't know how to do it , so weve been just trying but not if you get me ? And obviously it hasn't happened so this is when we decided to track my cycle , and obviously it hasn't been every month because life's busy and we've had lots to do , so now we're finally ready to really go for it , so first time tracking yes , but normally AF is a witch and late my cycles are all over the place , I had a clot in 2021 and since that they never really been the same 🤦🏼‍♀️ and they couldn't tell me why it happened either xxx

HAha tbf, when i told my husband that you could only get pregnant realistically about 2 days in the month he was like WTF, told his mate who has 3 children and he was like woahhhhh. So I don't think you're alone 😂All they teach you at school is how not to get pregnant, so you spent your whole life thinking that every time you have sex you're gonna have a baby!!

When are you supposed to be due? That's strange about the clot. Sending love! 70% of people come on their period in the night, so every day you wake up without starting, is another day closer! I dunno why i know all these weird stats hahaha

@Bubblesandtroubles hey fellow grandma! 🖐I'm in the 30's club with you and @LeopardLover. Have you got any children already or not? If we all knew all this we would have started years ago right! Well, I would have anyway.

@LeopardLover do you remember what your symptoms were last time in your TWW? Xx

@Amy95 He's just turned 2! I thought the terrible two's were a myth but NOPE. 🤣 Awwww, so teeny. I love being an auntie too but it's even better when they are yours, you become obsessed 🥰

That's so funny 😂😂 I bet his little personality is coming out now .... Me to my partner is one of 5 and he has about 11 neices and nephews I love having them over 🥰 I really cannot wait for that dream I dream of every day 🤞xx

@Amy95 that has to be another good sign! I definitely get that - I have much more CM since giving birth 😅 It is hard work but the best kind of hard work if that makes sense 🥰 I'm excited to go through it all again, especially the baby stage because now I realise that's the easier bit (even though it doesn't feel it at the time 😅).

Your making me more excited 😂 I'm so used to bfn but I just feel totally different this time , how olds your little.one if you don't mind me asking 🥰 baby stage is the best stage my little neice is 10 weeks old and she's the best , she's started smiling love being a Aunite xx

@Amy95 The absolute best sign!! That's all I had last time I fell pregnant and many women say the same. Tiredness is a thing but I'm pretty sure it's just because I have a wild toddler and I'm still catching up on sleep 😅 if it continues through the weekend maybe it's something 😉

I've had increased cm aswell 🤢thought I'd wet myself at one point sorry it's early and tmi 😂 I just thought AF came early but it wasn't 🥳 oh I bet that's hard work xx

@Ks2023 How is that line looking today? Fingers crossed!

@Amy95 Cramps are the best sign!!

Are they really ? I've tried describing them to my friend who recently had a bfp she looked at me like I had 2 heads 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I hear tiredness is a sign aswell ? I'm sending all the baby dust your way 🤞🤞🤞🤞
