Looking for a TTC buddy!

[Lorriella]

Hello! I'm needing a TTC buddy as I'm finding myself constantly over thinking things and it's driving my husband mad so would be great to discuss it with someone else in the same boat!

I'm TTC baby number 3. I came off the pill 3 days ago and I'm very impatient, want to get started right now! Anyone else in a similar situation want to buddy up?

I know so much has happened on here..I'm going to need to log in using my laptop rather than phone so I can respond to everything :)

Thank you very much, I am thrilled, immediately followed by scared that something might go wrong, going to have to fight that though and not worry. I feel a sudden huge responsibility that I have a little seed in me that I need to do everything right by so it thrives in there. Let's just hope its a sticky one hey.

I hold so much hope for everyone on this thread, I have been off the pill for 4 months and we DTD every other day in the month. I maybe had 1 glass of rose this month and cut caffeine completely out since we started trying. I know ive been super lucky to fall so quick, but I can feel it this thread is lucky. Sending magic conceiving sprinkles everyone's way.

How did your DH take the news Stir?? I've decided to cut out caffeine too. Besides, I can't tell the difference between normal tea and decaf anyway! Wonderful but scary feeling at the same time isn't it, but you will be funny and don't beat yourself up too much.

tmi alert - Woke up too loads of EWCM this morning - which i'm pleased and annoyed at! Thought I had only had a little bit this month and had gone through fertile window but seems I haven't. So I'm on CD22 and still haven't ov'd. So annoying and I've had so much bloody sex this month!! Lol. Glad we have had 2 nights rest as we will be back at it again tonight...

Did AF turn up this morning manderley

Any more news on this lucky lucky thread?!

Just checked FF - CD23!!

Hi Cant, he was thrilled. I put a baby picture on a piece of paper followed by 'Surprise...you're going to be a daddy' and told him it was a nice letter from a client about my work when I handed it to him, after he saw it I handed him the digital test. Last night he kissed me goodnight and then my belly.. SO cute! We're just both worried that its too good to be true. We decided to tell immediate family and close friends now so that if something does happen we have a support group.

Don't worry cant, its not all in vain, those little swimmers can't survive up to 6 days in your cervix, so you might get pregnant by the old swimmers rather than the new ones. It is exhausting, but if you get your BFP this month it'll all be worth it :) Not sure if it actually helped but I always raised my hips on a pillow and bent my knees for 30 mins afterwards. I know...so romantic and also really doesn't help with comfort when you're trying to go to sleep.

Ooh Manderly any news?

That's just lovely! Put the most genuine smile on my face.

Haha, it's not like OH is going to complain, he'll take it at every opportunity I give him, can't seem to tire him out haha. Yeah, I do the pillow most of the time, and will be now this week now that I know I am most definitely in my fertile window.

Nope...all quiet on the western front! Don't want to get my hopes up so still working to Saturday and pretending AF not due til then.

V close friend told me she's pregnant today, so very happy for her! She had an EMC (borderline CP) in September so this is right on the back of that. Means the world to them so amazing news to start the year with

Stir how adorable is that?! You both must be over the moon :)

Hello all how are you?I'm currently on day 3 of my TWW. It's annoying me already!! Think I wil test on 12dpo.

How are you all coping wth waiting?! x

Loriella! You're back! How am I coping? Not, it would seem! not sure if AF is coming or not and just generally being impatient (PMA...PMA...Pma...)

Hi loriella Was worried we had high jacked your post! TWW is awful, I thought if started mine yest but not so! Will be end of this week now do can share frustration with you!

manderley you are coping very well, I would probably have poas x 20 by now! Haha.

Anyone know anything about LH & FSH results?! Back from docs with my results today!

!!!!!!Symptom spotting alert!!!!!! hope everyone ok... 5/6 dpo I think!! Been so sleepy this week (nothing to do with cats and the wind keeping me awake of course).. Felt really sick last night (nothing to do with the fact that I'd missed lunch and then wolfed my tea down)... Last night my boobs and belly felt heavy and really low down (nothing to do with the fact that I'd put half a stone on over christmas)!!

Ooh the things my imagination could convince me of!

Hoping your still holding out manderley?!

Not familiar with those can't sorry!!

Stir I love the way you told oh... So sweet and romantic

And somebody's breath stinks on the tram this morning so this MUST be my heightened sense of smell

Personal question but anyone else here have endometriosis? At present I have no idea if it's going to impact our chances of conception Have overhauled our diet, trying to lose a bit of weight myself as BMI edged into overweight, taking my folic acid
Tips i've been given by friends are the pillow under bum. Going to sleep straight after sex rather than popping to the loo. One actually hung upside down off the side of the bed after... not sure i'm going to try that!

New to mumsnet, and TTC first child. Only started Dec! Still getting to grips with ovulation tracking, looking for TTC buddy :)

milou90 I started in Dec too
Already overthinking everything!

Hi @milou90!

I have been TTC since September, and had the same problems trying to work out ovulation patterns too. How are you tracking your ovulation?

I am also considering acupuncture as recommended by one of the other girls on mumsnet.

Hi NurseDoctor Me too, though it has only been 1 and a half months, it feels like forever! Like you, also trying to have healthier diet. New year, new resolutions and hopefully BFP!

sploinky, just trying to count my cycles, but not sure I am doing it right. How are you tracking yours, any tips?

@milou90

I used to count it manually but it's hard with a irregular cycle.
Right now I am using clear blue advanced fertility monitor.
If you are based in London - I recommend looking up the "Imperial Conceive Study" - A friend told me about this study and I got free monitors from the lovely research team who taught me how to work out the best time to DTD.

Good luck! Let's hope we both get BFPs soon! x

Evening all, and hello to lovely new people! I seem to be out of sync with everyone as I always log on to find so much conversation has happened!

Hope everyone's doing well? any more news? Still hanging in until Saturday, have my travel jabs tomorrow and also going to speak to nurse as my eczema has gone crazy lately. Currently stuck at the station where I change trains due to delays and utterly fed up. I'm a hardened commuter but this is wearing me down, has happened every night this week and adds half an hour to a 50 minute journey. Gah!

Oooh boyle I must say, they are verrrrrry pregnant symptoms!! And I should know, I mean I have them every month! Haha.

No endo for me nurse but I do all the things you do. With the pillow under the bum, I bring my knees up to my boobs also to give it more tilt. I'm absolutely sure this is NO help but I do it anyway. I've also decided to quit caffeine. Well other than the caramel macchiato I had today of course!

Hi sploinky - it was me on the other thread about acupuncture waves

Hi milou - we are all buddies here

I feel your pain manderley just got in since 7.45 this morning, 10 hours of lectures today. My brain is frazzled. Exam next week! Yay!

Think I finally ovulated today, so will be unwinding for a bit, & hopping into bed I think I have a world record this month, my FF is in overload, can barely keep up!!

How are our lovely BFP ladies??

OOh, what are you studying?! I have a big deadline at the end of the month. Currently managing a team of 8 and, as much as I love them, I'll be quite glad come february! Hopefully my next project will be a little less intense so I can enjoy a bit of a trough for a while :)

I'm doing a Quantity Surveying degree part time as part of my job, company pay for the degree so I really shouldn't complain!

Sounds like you could do with some chill time! Are you home in the warm now?

OH is sat next to me munching on Brie & Stilton ... Mmmm!

Ah, there's a copy of Spons deep in my desk somewhere.

Home now and had a nice warm bath. Been up since 3 as the dog decided to redecorate the kitchen floor. Think I'll get an early night. DH will be home soon hopefully.

Ah what do you do then? Sorry if you've already told me!

Aw you have a naughty puppy like mine!!
