Hey all, late comer to the chat...! So we have been not trying but not not trying.. and this month I am pretty much on exactly the same cycle as @starryx @KittyFantastica (keeping fingers crossed for everyone).

I had some cramps and some light spotting earlier this week which is totally abnormal for me. We DTD on the 25th and 26th which is approx when I was due to be ovulating.. trying to hold off testing but reading this thread has made me realise how quietly excited I am....

I'm 37btw, would be first baby...

@elleaddams Hope you’re okay!! That doesnt sound good, are you having that done now? X

I dont have facebook otherwise I would have joined!! Lovely that weve made this little group though 🤗

I'm a bit emotional but I'm ok. I've been into the doctors where they told me what they've suspected but I have to wait for a scan, they're referring me apparently

Well an update on AF who is once again behaving funkily.

Rang the GP and asked for a second opinion since I’d taken photos etc of the unusual nature of this month’s cycle.

Going in next Thursday for a pelvic exam, additional smears, and to have a blood test.

Turns out brown bleeding and clots is not normal.

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 19:00

I’ve requested too!

I’ve requested to join the group!

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 18:54

I’m happy for either.

I feel so nauseous and if this is pregnancy I don’t miss this sicky feeling.

fingers crossed for us all! 🙌🏽 If not this cycle but onto the next

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 18:48

But its upto everyone if they want a WhatsApp! Xx

I think my TTC journey have been rumbled a little more :(

Can't remember if I mentioned previously but I have endometriosis. I had an operation in Nov 2021 to remove it behind my uterus, bladder and on my bowel. I was told that due to where it was and not being on my ovaries, I should be ok to have children, but with where it was on my uterus I had a higher chance on miscarriage. But we're determined to have our dream baby.

My ovulation pain has been horrendous this month. It's always a little painful but today I've been in agony, killer back pain, cramping, feeling sick, just as my LH has been peaking so I called 111 and they said I need to go see a doctor.

They suspect the endometriosis has spread to a kidney so are sending me for a scan. I'm so scared. We're of course going to keep trying but I am terrified that this means it's got worse than I realise in its usual areas.

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 05/01/2024 18:46

Hahaha not at all! If anyone wants to join feel free to DM me your name and number and I can create a group! X

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 18:43

@Wanderingthroughparenthood I'm happy with that, but I have to say Lucy isn't my first name.. So incase you thought I was a total weirdo, was just a but wary of using my real name as its uncommon. It's my middle name though so not a total weirdo 🤣🤣

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 05/01/2024 18:35

Do any you guys want to create a WhatsApp or Facebook messenger group? Sorry I feel like the needy girl asking you all to be my boyfriend on the first date… hahaha

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 18:35

@LuceNumberTwo thank you Luce 🩷 this has definitely shown me I really want it so next cycle instead of not preventing I’m getting us to try and get BD!

All you ladies are so kind and lovely. We all got this! ❤️ what pregnancy tests shall I get off Amazon and ovulation ones for next cycle?

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 18:33

@Newmumwales I wouldn't count yourself out yet though hun, I think we can see the line, so I'm really hoping this is it 🤞🤞 hopefully that progresses into a lovely BFP!! 💖

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 18:31

@H938 ive come home, come in the bath and getting my thoughts together. Already feel like I’m out before I’m out. I’m telling myself if AF comes end of next week then next cycle I’ll be expecting October which is my gramp who passed birthday month. Felt nausea walking around Tesco mind you. Body STOP!!!!

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 18:12

Home now, I’m not convinced lol 😂

Ive only got FRER and clear blue here so will have to order some more for next week. I’m not hopeful.

H938 · 05/01/2024 18:09

You could have already ovulated and on 27th sperm meets egg situation in which case you could be 9dpo!? So exciting 🤞🏼🤞🏼

H938 · 05/01/2024 18:02

@LuceNumberTwo omg youre good!! I can see that now.

awaiting third test 😁 @Newmumwales

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 17:39
