Hi ladies, a new thread for us to continue the amazing support into the new year. Praying this thread will hold the key to many positives🩷 I’m currently on CD4 today and looking forward to a fresh cycle. We have now hit the one year mark TTC no. 3 so hoping for a miracle soon xxx

Hey @lynzmb , good to hear from you again. Glad you finally got AF - so annoying it would have to be super late! - but you must be relieved now? Wishing you all the very best for Feb and sending you all the baby dust in the universe ✨

Yes feels like a fresh start.after a weird month! Hope you're doing ok? x

Hope everyone is doing ok! After not having a clue what was going on due to being ill, AF finally arrived this morning. Typical the one month we haven't dtd she is super late. Anyway - on to cycle 6. All the best to those of you with bfps and see some of you in the Feb boards xx

@HopeB 🥰
I am good… slowly getting used to my situation. Booked in for an early scan on 13 Feb so just a waiting game for that I guess. Trying not to imagine the worst! Xx

Oh wow! That will come round so quickly! Hopefully 🤞🤞
Easier said than done I know, but you’re doing the right thing - trying to stay positive ☺️
You’ll be so reassured after your scan. I know it. So excited for you xx

Hey, sorry it’s taken me ages to reply 💜 thank you so much. I’m so sorry about that. Here if you need to chat/vent, we all are. It’s horrible to start having thinking ahead to the following month isn’t it, seems like an eternity. So glad you have a weekend away to look forward to and outfit planning definitely a great idea! I’m wishing you all the best for the tests starting in Feb. Your DH sounds amazing. Sometimes we just need permission to feel. We will get through together I promise 💜

Thank you so much. He is! :)
How are you doing?xx

Thanks so much @dev86 such a sweet message! I did test and sadly, it was negative.
i’m currently trying to get my head around having to try again. But we have our fertility tests already booked for Feb, and a short break next weekend, so outfit planning will occupy my mind for at least a few hours lol

My DH has been great. I was really sad (so was he), but we just talked through it and he is giving me the space to get my head back in the game (so to speak).

yeah, the pressure has really been reduce because of self insemination. I just hope that it works. If not, we have begun to discuss IVF. We’ll see.

i’m so happy for you though! All of the positives keep me going ✨
taking it day by day seems like the best thing to do. You can’t control the outcome, but as of right now, you ARE pregnant, so sitting in that knowledge for today is all you can do ☺️

This is my first ever online thread, so I don’t know if people never look back once they are pregnant, but it would be lovely to hear your updates as you progress! 😊

haha! Exactly that RE: book vibes 😂
You’ll be alright - like you say, you can always defer lol. Besides, it will be a great story to tell your little one, one day 😊 xx

Thanks @dev86 that book looks so nice, I think I need to get a copy. Thanks for your lovely messages everyone, I find it so hard to remember and tag all the usernames properly - I'm on my phone maybe it's easier on a laptop. Im so sorry i always forget to tag someone who has sent a lovely message but I see all your kind messages and they mean so much.
A PhD in music therapy sounds so cool @dev86 ! My 2nd child has special needs and loves music, if you ever need volunteers for a case study just let me know 😊
@luxylocket I'm so happy things are progressing and you're starting to accept and enjoy it. I'm hoping I'll be there in a week or so. I told my husband as soon as he got home last night and he's delighted but also cautious like me.
@hopeb I'm sorry to hear your test was negative, it's such heartache and I'm glad both you and your partner could grieve a little today and also have a nice trip coming up which might be a distraction. We are all here to chat with you even when all at different stages. This thread is so nice.

It is a really good book, thank you so much! Definitely recommend. Aww thank you - that’s exactly my line of work! So glad they are a little musical soul 💜🎶🎵

@Emiily887 I second what @LuxyLocket says. Thinking of you, please take all the time you need. I’m so thankful for this thread it’s been a lifeline 🩷

LuxyLocket · 29/01/2025 08:02

@Emiily887 I will also lurk on this thread not to post but to keep in touch with you as I’ve been very invested in your journey and would like to hear how you’re getting on,💕💕 I completely get the needing a break for a few months I’m just so sorry it’s been a year and hitting that milestone is flipping tough. I really admire you for choosing ‘life’ for a bit rather than carrying on with this every month that is putting you and your wellbeing first. You’ve been such a support to me and all of us. Thank you for the best threads and let’s keep in touch xx 😘 sending loads of love

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing ok🩷
AF has arrived for me. We’ve taken the decision to stop trying for a few months as it’s getting too much for me having hit the year mark. I’m constantly stressed and upset every cycle.
Will still be lurking on this thread as it has seemed so positive for a lot of you and I love seeing successes. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and I hope those who got their positives have happy and healthy pregnancies, and anyone who’s still waiting I really hope you get your miracle babies soon🩷🩷

I’m so sorry you’re feeling stressed and upset each cycle. I hope a few months of relaxing can help you. I honestly gave up at the beginning of December. One of my colleagues husband had a spinal stroke and is paralysed from the waist down and I said to DH. I really want a baby but not as much as I want us both to stay healthy and be able to enjoy life together.
then 4 weeks later I get my BFP.
Fingers crossed for you

I'm 4DPO today and my boobs are absolutely killing (the same feeling as just before AF) Im due on 8th Feb so surely it's not that?

Has anyone else experienced this just after Ovulation?

Hi everyone, I’m 10dpo, tested this morning and can see faint lines (did 2 easy at home and then did another brand because I was convinced they must be wrong!), do these look like they could be the start of something?
I’m on month 5 ttc after a MMC, and I’m terrified to get my hopes up, but I can’t stop thinking about it!!

Looks like the start of something to me. Fingers crossed for you

PamelaDoov · 27/01/2025 14:04

@MoonDaydream looks good to me!

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 13:44

Yeah good idea, there's no point carrying on testing after you've got your definite answer as it will just cause more stress!

We DTD CD16 and CD17, apparently O was CD18 but we missed it :( then DTD CD19 and CD20 so i hope we covered it.

I'm 3DPO now.

I O’d CD15 and dtd CD16 & CD17. So if this is a true positive then there’s definitely hope!

This will be my 5th proper month of trying too! Ooo I hope it’s lucky😅

are you going to keep testing?

Got my fingers crossed for you! How many dpo are you?

LucyLou0527 · 27/01/2025 10:36

I’ll test tomorrow with my clear blue monitor and pregnancy test sticks for a digital reading. If that reads positive as well, I’ll stop testing 😊 to be honest, compared to previous cycles, we only dtd twice on my second peak day and the day after 😂I’m still cramping a little though
