TTC Hysterics thread!

[Archemedes]

Hi a wierd Idea but I've browsed through threads and seen that some poster feel sometimes that complaining about i.e not being pg after 2 months is insensitive to people having problems.

I can see their point , but we all need a place to let off steam without being made to feel guilty. So......

I made this thread as a perfect place to spout off any worries how silly they may seem.

Please be honest about what you think!

I would say wait morecoffee. Do you know when you ovulated?

I have been having one teaspoon of honey a day. I got it from Aldi where its £4 a jar.

Hope everyones doing okay

I'm having a shitty week, of another shitty month
I came on 2 days before valentines day and thought great another month wasted.
I know I've only been ttc 2 months but I'm so desperate spent last couple of days telling myself to calm down and not think as obsessing will stop me concieving i.e a watched pot never boils however of course its the first thing when I wake up and when I got to sleep, thats on my my mind. I'm a SAHM so its quite hard to take my mind off it when my life revolves around babydom.
To top it off i'm going to be an auntie soon and some days I think it will be quite difficult for me to visit tbh.
Had a really bad day yesterday , spent alot of the day unsuccessfully fighting off tears. What If I never get preg?
I try and tell myself if my DP and I had one child we are obviously ok fertility wise and should chill, but my mind won't let me :'(

Hello..... can I loiter here with you guys, seems I'm proper obsessed and there's no room in my wee mind for anything except baby related things, I soooooooo want to be pregnant. Daren't tell anyone in RL I'm gone this mad so quickly.... any tips to calm me the fuck down...? would be much appreciated

I need some too wading

And isn't everyone pregnant right now? And every advert for baby related things or pregnant women. Argh.

Hi Everyone,

I got the faintest, actually almost not there only if you look really hard at a certain angle pink line on an early response this morning. Have fingers and toes crossed

Hi everyone,

I have just joined and found this thread. What a God send as I thought it was just me!! I have been TTC for about 7 months now but no joy. I don't think it will happen any time soon as I have a period every two weeks since coming off the Depo injection :( Been for blood tests and now waiting for a scan to see if I'm ovulating at all. I feel such a freak as everyone around me seems to fall pregnant easily or even by mistake!!!

Ah this thread, how glad I was to see it.

Not a freak at all Nutty ((hug)) Blood tests and scans are happening so you're a step closer to being able to work this out. I'm with Pipbin this is our second cycle and I've cracked up already. Now at the end of a two week wait, no AF, desperate to POAS. I WILL BE STRONG.

I'm telling no one but best friend in RL Wading and she's just fallen pregnant first cycle. She's a darling and has been so supportive of me going crazy already.

Thank you for your kind words Hearty, I'm not telling anyone either as I don't want everyone asking me every month if I am pregnant. It just feels that I am on all the time (which I am!!) and I'm going mad!!

What is a second cycle? Sorry for not understanding but am new to all this baby talk!!!

I'm new too but thanks to the lovely ladies in here I'm being brought up to speed sharpish. Second monthly cycle or second month of trying in our case. First month I was a wreck then AF showed early. Trying to be calm and pragmatic now, charting helped me calm down, plus just blowing off steam in here. I do hope your scan spreads some light on whats going on down there and lets you get on with enjoying ttc.

When I first came off the implant I had a fair few months of constant bleeding and it settled down eventually. Flipping tiring though. (hug)

Yeah it it is!!! Thought it was just me but after 7 months, I'm knackered!!! Hopefully I'll get my scan date within the next few weeks so will let you know how I get on.

It is such a relief to speak to someone who is going through the same thing. i have spent 20 years trying not to get pregnant, and then hit a wall when I do!! Typical!

I have a DS already, I AM THE HORROR STORY, good wholesome teenage girl looks at a boy and ends up in the family way. My son is 8 now and he's great, huge gap I know but it feels right for us now. Since the whole oooops of the first one I was kinda expecting to be in the family way as soon as I'd may coy eye contact without contraception. Obviously not. According to fertility friend (great resource if you haven't tried it, charts everything and you can print and share it, may shed some light on the ovulation) I should have had AF yesterday/today.

I take it AF means period? I really need to look up these abbreviations :)

That's good news then if it hasn't happened yet? Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thanks hun, I've sent you a pm and added you to the mates list thing so you can keep me updated on the scan. To be honest I've had NO symptoms and I am the most paranoid hysterical symptom spotter ever willing to fight for the title too. I think the stress of trying to do this so quickly is making Auntie Flo (AF/Period) feel a little shy and unwanted rather than being extremely lucky.

Sent you pm Hearty. How do I save you to mates list?

Good news fish how many DPO are you?

Nutty it's in the my profile section :D

Thanks pipbin it was a stringer line this morning. Am 10 dpo. Very excited

Good luck everyone

Hi everyone

Can I join? This is first month of TTC no 1 and already I am going crazy. I am trying not to symptom spot which is good because I don't seem to have any, AF not due until Sunday but last night in a moment of madness I peed on a opk (didn't have a hpt in the house) and it came up with a line. Not stronger than the control line but a line you could easily see.

So am either going to ovulate a lot later than I thought and have a very random long cycle or there just happened to be a lot of LH in my pee at that point as I know it's present all the time or after googling it could be picking up hcg as the make up of LH and hcg are the same bar a tiny subunit?

So this morning disappoint at possible long cycle for no reason and faint hope are living side by side in my head fighting.

I don't want to pee on a proper stick because I know the bfn will break my heart!

fish what fantastic news! Here, have a put your feet up and have my stash of pregnancy mags!

So, had my scan 2 weeks ago....all appeared normal. Bloods coming back this week.

I am currently trying to decide whether to poas tommorow . I did a test Saturday and it was neg :( don't know if or when I ovulated this cycle. Think I will test again tommorow if still no AF. I am having some symptoms which I am trying to convince myself are pregnancy symptoms and not pre menstrual symptoms for nearly a week now.

Beware, possible TMI! Has anyone had increased discharge as an early preg symptom?

morecoffee apparently increased discharge can be a sign of early pg due to the progesterone surge, I know because I've had the same for nearly a week. TMI but sometimes it's been that bad I was convinced af had come early am still not peeing on a stick early though.

I can't find the website again but found on with examples of cm in early pregnancy. Was kind of gross but informative. Try googling it.

Thanks ruda have just googled and sounds like what I'm 'experiencing'

Just seen your post above aswell. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

So its now 14months (calendar months that is as my cycle is so irregular and random) of ttc dc3.I'm really hoping this is the month! I was convinced AF was due on sat as I was really achey but so far nothing.

I am off to.pick up a test for later tommorow.

Thanks morecoffee I'm but still hard to believe. Best of luck to everyone

Hi Ladies, I'm on my first cycle of Clomid this month, and am TTC#1, with PCOS, underactive thyriod, and weight gain that I just cannot shift no matter what diet/exercise plan I follow.

I'm not putting on any weight, and I'm definatly not over eating, I am on a low fat/sugar/carbs, high fibre, fruit and veg diet, and am watching the calries and am always eating less than the 1700 recommended (more like just over 1100), and am doing an exercise program, but can't shift the weight.

My thyriod is fine, now I'm on thyroxine, so it's not that, and I'm also on Metformin for the PCOS, and my GP thought I might be insulin resistant, but despite an initial weight lose when starting the Metformin, no more has been lost, despite a dose increase on the Metformin.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on?

Congrats fish that's great news..

I have everything crossed for the rest of us!

(I've namechanged, was Wading)

Congratulations Fish!

We've all had 'the virus' over the last three weeks so we've either been ill ourselves or dealing with a child who is ill and we're both knackered. I'm now having a big old sulk as I think we've missed my ovulation this month, poor DP I'm a proper grumpy fucker at the moment.

I've never been this obsessed before, I don't know what's wrong with me, it doesn't even make sense to have another baby just yet but there's no telling me, I want one NOW!

pippi, just an idea.... crossing your legs could be the problem?!
