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?

Heya girls. Is this the right thread for a crazy 33 Yr old that has become an overthinker in just 3 weeks and can't think of anything else other than when I can poas?

Hi babs & welcome,

You'll be well looked after and will fit right in on here! Haha. Crazy overthinkers are our speciality!! What's your background so far?

Thanks! I Have a very short back story. After 7 yrs together I have talked dh into getting started. First month ttc. Day 18 of 26 day cycle. Going mad. Hats off to everyone doing this, it's not easy to concentrate on anything else!

babs this is just the place! I find myself googling nursery furniture and prams. Someone needs to stop me!!!

Can't I'm a structural engineer. Made it through the night with a vomit free kitchen floor so we have progress!

Definitely the place for crazy over thinkers. You wouldn't think I could oversee multimillion pound projects and yet get so wound up by all this!

Have a good Friday everyone :)

So you are in your first TWW if you have ovulated babs? How exciting? Do you mean there are other things in life other than this?!

haha Nurse, I'm not as far as googling them yet, but I already have the spare room decorated in my head!

Ohhh! You're on the dark side manderley - far too technical for me! And yes same here, dealing with insane projects and figures at work & I just switch off at 6 and never think about it again when this is almost always on my mind! We were up at 4.30am with the dog, she just wanted to play. Supposed it could get me used to night feeds though..

Hello! Can I join this thread please? I'm 31, ttc #2, second cycle trying and am in my TWW...going slowly crazy symptom watching!! Actually POAS on Wednesday, 7 days before my period is due so got a negative (well, obviously! What was I thinking?!) Sigh. Anyway, hi everyone!

cantbelieve hehe whenever I see things I like I make a little note on my laptop of the link etc. I feel like it would be jinxing it to buy anything, so instead have lists (because obviously that's so much better!) haha!
I also think to myself ooh if it happens this month their birthday would be around such and such. Very silly because it builds up hope in my head

Hi girl and babs! Welcome! Definitely in the right place if you're slowly becoming a baby obsessed maniac!! I'm also in tww so feel free to obsessively symptom spot with me ...

My dilemma this evening? Do I drink because it could be my last weekend to? Or do I not because I already might have conceived? Can't beat a Friday night glass of Pinot! Unless hubby tempts me with a curry.

Hi girl,
welcome to you also, well I am now considering myself in the TWW and will be testing on 28th 30th of Jan. I've done exactly the same as you , poas for no reason other than I needed to sometimes.

Hey boyle when are you due to test? Go for the Pinot - no blood flow at this point so will have no effect! Although I do hope you have conceived!! I'm out for food and drinks with friends tomorrow night so will be indulging in the finest bottle of prosecco our local restaurant has to offer. Oh my god!! The things I would do for a curry, have been dieting hard since NY and will be stepping on the scales for the first time tomorrow... I'm going to be crushed if I am not towards my lighter self! (And then I will think to myself 'ah, it doesn't really matter does it? Surely I will be pregnant soon!

Oh and update on my LH & FSH blood results that I mentioned earlier - apparently my results are fantastic! Should be at the lower end of a scale between 3 - 12 and very close together. Mine are 3.4 & 3.5 Super pleased with those!

Hi boyle, OMG I'm definitely manically symptom watching, though trying not to as I was convinced I had all the symptoms last month and turned out I wasn't pregnant at all. Latest 'symptoms'- waking in the night needing the loo, kind of bloated and cramping...think that's it for now Not testing again until 20th/21st, if I can hold out that long!

cantbelieve it's good to hear I'm not the only one who likes to waste £5 by POAS for no reason! The tests are so expensive!

Hi Boyle. I know, I would love a glass of wine after the last two weeks in work! I have been abstaining since the new year . However it all seems worth when I think about potential baba!

Nurse, I have bought stuff for all my friends now as I am officially the last to get this show on the road. DH is sick of me stopping him in shops to look at little dresses and stuff. I worked in mothercare in uni, so I'm a bit of a baby supply geek. Think it really freaks out DH!

Hi can't. congrats on the blood results. Yup first time doing this thing and I'm so giddy. Trying not to talk to anyone about it, even sister whom I tell everything. Both her and our mum conceived twice each first time, so no pressure to keep up the family fertility .

I felt sick when I woke up today. I know it's probably nothing related. But I was never so excited before over feeling ill! I also have a achy tummy, but I usually get all manner of ov cramps and pms cramps and then af cramps, that cramp free time is more abnormal!

I have two Sainsburys hpts on my coffee table taunting me. But still 7 days till af due, so trying to resist temptation....

Ps...sorry for the thesis. I'm on a train on my way home and it's my quiet, guilt free baby obsessing time

Um....

Woooo!

I'm not being stupid am I? That is what I think it is?

wonders what's in the water in south Oxfordshire

That's pretty clear!

Thanks all! Still totally shocked!

Also ridiculously anxious...I just sneezed and wondered if that would have dislodged it!

Yikes...can't believe it!

Wow Maderley... Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Manderley* bloody predictive text!!

Manderley congratulations!!!

Well that's lovely news manderley - sorry for the delay, have had a busy weekend. You must be so thrilled! This really is a lucky thread! How are you feeling?

How is everybody else? Any news? Boyle you still hanging in there?

All quiet over here in TWW. Should have been due to test on Friday this week but delayed ovulation this month, so don't think I will be due to test earliest next Wednesday. So more of a three week wait! Meh.

Hi Can't... Still hanging in there and manically symptom spotting. Been nauseous and bloated all weekend and couldn't eat my bran flakes today! Ha! Af due Friday but tempted to do a frer tomorrow am, can't help myself. Hope your weekend was lovely?!

Maderley, stir, boo how you all feeling?!
