Looking for a TTC buddy!

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?

You're definitely doing a frer!!

Weekend was lovely, too much food and drink, I suffered a little yesterday and still very tired today. overdosing on water and antioxidants too!! I think I am officially in TWW now as ewcm has disappeared. Thankfully, I need a few days off. I am literally shagged out Blush - I totted up our dtd this cycle... 21 times so far since 27th December!!!! Jeeeez. And to think I am only just in my TWW...

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 19/01/2015 14:14

I spoke too soon. More EWCM. I have been having this since January 6th on and off now. Had enough of this :( Literally don't know where I am going to find the energy for any more! yes I still fell hungover, tired and grumpy

Boyle1884 · 19/01/2015 14:53

Ahh bless. You might be feeling irritable because it's your turn and hormones all over the place! Keep smiling.

I've just popped to boots to get frer so will do tomorrow or Wednesday... Just had ewcm that was peachy colour sorry tmi! What the hell is that all about?! I'm 9dpo so far to early to test and IF it was implantation that won't show up for days surely.
You've dtd an amazing amount of times! Your lucky oh. You aren't out until the witch comes! Grin

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 19/01/2015 15:00

Oh I wish. Pretty certain that it's the copious amounts of wine that I consumed though. Got terrible heartburn from it too.

Oh how exciting. Lots of people get +ve FRERs at 10dpo!

I just text him to tell him about the ewcm - he's thrilled. Seriously, I have an exam, an interview and DD's dancing exam this week, and 2 assignments due next week. I asked DH if he can do it while I am sleeping tonight because I am just exhausted Hmm BlushGrin

Hi Boyle, week 5 and doing well thank you Smile had breasts and nipple tingles and pain on and off, painful bloating, trapped wind, very gassy, period type pains...spoke to the doc and he said unless youre in pain and youre bleeding consider everything to be Ok. Have gotten thrush though (sorry TMI) but apparently its very common in pregnancy. Of course concerned about things going wrong but taking it a day at a time.

I must say Boyle...your symptoms do sound very pregnancy related. I have everything crossed for you xx

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 19/01/2015 18:35

Evening all!
Just got back from the doctors where I got my Hep A jab...and a flu one thrown in for free...
5 weeks today and generally feeling ok so far. Have appt booked with the doctor on 2nd feb, all starting to feel very real (though still not completely convinced its true!).

Stir, presume we both come under John Radcliffe?

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 19/01/2015 23:40

Congratulations manderley!! That's fab news!

I survived hen weekend! Was so much fun and exactly what I needed. And now AF is officially late. She arrived CD 27 last month and CD 26 month before so should have been here yesterday or today and now I'm trying not to completely freak out. My cycles started at 34 days when I came off the pill this time last year but they've got shorter and shorter as times gone on.

Had my thyroid levels checked last week and now 4 missed calls from GP today which I slept through so something's obviously up there... trying to keep positive - maybe my thyroxine dose needs to go up to help me shift the Christmas pounds?

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 02:17

Thanks river. Hope all goes well with doctors results.

I deliberately delayed testing until the date of longest AF. I figured it wouldn't change the outcome but minimised the risk of BFN if AF was just slow to arrive. Took a lot of will power though!

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 06:05

Now this is a real squinter but....

Looking for a TTC buddy!
Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 06:07

Not going to get hopes up as I'm 10dpo and it's a faint line... BUT there is a line??!! I intend to buy more and test each morning until it's bright!!

Glad the ladies with BFPs are doing well!!

Hope you weren't too tired last night can't?!

River... So glad you enjoyed hen do x

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 06:13

Agh...on app so can't see! hang on...

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 06:21

It's faint, but does look like a line! Def keep POAS over next few days to check but, all being well, Congratulations!

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 08:08

River good luck with thyroid results xx

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 20/01/2015 08:28

boyle I can see a faint line easily without my glasses on - fingers crossed for you!!

cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 20/01/2015 16:34

Congratulations boyle - really pleased for you, I knew it would be positive for you today.

Also good luck with thyroid results River

NurseDoctor · 20/01/2015 17:43

Fingers crossed for you Boyle
Ovulation week this week but also thr exams for my hardest uni module :-( stressed up to thr eyeballs, god knows what my blood pressure is! So pretty sure this month is going to be a lost cause :-( anyone else struggling with timing?

MrsLOL2015 · 20/01/2015 17:59

Hey new people, and congratulations to all with BFPs!
Feel like I am in the hundreth day of my TWW!, AF due next Tuesday.

I know I only just started TTC this month but I am desperate to get pregnant now. Been really frustrated the last week. I calculated my supposed ovulation days, danced like a crazed senorita all through it, then....when it should have passed I got heavy CM and became super horny, so I freaked out and decided the calc was wrong and body was telling me - danced, danced, danced and now...I await my fate :(

Furious hugs for all of us waiting x

Boyle1884 · 20/01/2015 19:04

Thanks everyone... Just done a boots digi... Bfp! Pregnant came up within two mins! Eek! Can't believe it. Definitely won't sink in for a few days.

Hang in there nurse and good luck with your exams.

Mrslol hopefully you've timed it right. You'll be fine :)

MrsLOL2015 · 20/01/2015 19:30

Ahhhh Boyle - Congrats! ahhhh all these BFP's are completely mood-boosting. Delighted for you :)

lastnightiwenttomanderley · 20/01/2015 20:28

Great news Boyle! Congratulations!Flowers

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 20/01/2015 21:23

Congratulations Boyle that's great news! So happy for you ??

Not so good news so me - AF showed up today & my thyroid results are bad... could explain why I'm still not pregnant though. Doc wants to see me on Thursday & I'm going to ask for a referral to endocrinologist.

emma85x · 21/01/2015 08:31

Congratulations boyle such fantastic news! Flowers

NurseDoctor · 21/01/2015 14:28

Boyle yay! I am hoping this is a lucky thread! Congratulations!
IfYouWere best of luck with the endocrinologist. Were your levels previously well controlled?

Boyle1884 · 21/01/2015 19:14

Sorry river, that's rubbish but I'm sure you can pick yourself up and keep smiling! Thanks Emma and nurse! Feels real today, first response was much brighter today!! Eek!

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 21/01/2015 19:53

nurse I had hyperthyroidism diagnosed at 7, thyroidectomy at 10 and well controlled on levothyroxine since. Now my free T4 is high and my TSH is completely suppressed. But I have symptoms of hypothyroid. I just feel TTC it would be best to see endocrinologist - everything's been pretty stable for last 20 years until now.
