Who wants to buddy up?!

[sophiabella]

Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

We're gonna need a new shiny thread soon ladies mustn't lose you guys.

Yeah would definitely also love to stay to celebrate all your bfps with you if you ladies will have me?
Can't seem to find that thread sparkles don't suppose you have a link?

just not that tech savvy I'm afraid newbie
Drop down menu pregnancy then select antenatal clubs and thread title is feb 2016 early early days.

Of course newbie we want you to stay and sparkles you two girls need to wait for us lot to catch u up. Hope u won't be waiting for too long!

It won't be violet I'm certain of it. What is the plan of attack for this cycle? Are you sticking with smep? Has af done one yet?

Last question, why the fuck am I watching Eurovision??!??
(Except to listen to GN and his ascerbic commentary lol)

Yeah I think its gone. And the plan is to give smep a second chance.

Thanks sparkles...my body is being weird now. This AF is still currently like spotting (which i've never had before) and it's almost 12 hours since i first noticed so normally by now it'd be a real period. It's weird and now i'm worried in case it isn't AF and i've been using tampons and not sure if thats allowed in the minimal chance i am pregnant? :(

Hoping things have gone ok for you today brooke

sarah sounds a bit strange....if af doesn't properly arrive are you gonna test again or put it down to post pill madness?

Having poorly snuggles, baby sparkles really not a happy baby today. Lots of snot and has been sleeping on me for the last 2 1/2 hrs

sparkles AF has been a bit heavier during the day although still not what i expected so putting it down to post pill madness! Think i'll be waiting a while for my BFP with my long cycles and DP working away a lot.

Awww hope baby sparkles feels better soon. Has it sunk in yet that you'll have a tiny sparkles too? :)

Hi everyone, been having a bit of a break from it all over the weekend, looks like I have some catching up to do.

Congrats newbie! Honeymoon baby, very romantic.

How did everything go yesterday brooke? Thinking of you hun.

I've been having a think over the weekend, I feel like this ttc malarkey is taking over my life! First change is I'm going to start looking around for another job, I've only stayed in my current job for the past 6 months because I keep thinking 'I can't move jobs because I might be pregnant next month'. I'm sure if I find the dream job Sod's law is I'll get pregnant immediately

sparkles do I remember you saying you were going back to work soon? How are you feeling about it?

Hiya Issie wondered where you had gone. I take it AF has turned up then. New job will be good, will you manage though if you do get pregnant next month without maternity pay? Are you smep'ing again next month

Brooke hope your Hcg (is that right?) has gone up enough today. Thinking of you

Newbie have you come out of the state of shock yet!

Sparkles hope baby sparkles is less snotty soon, bless her! In other news I've already looked up my edd if I get good news this time, 24th of Feb, so if that happens I can join your thread. Would be so nice to go through all this with people I've met at this early stage. So got my fingers crossed while trying not to get my hopes up!!

Hi violet Yeh we'd be fine without the mat pay. I got a new job after having DD on about half the pay I was on before so I could do part time but now I'm bored to tears and ready for something a bit more full on. Luckily the title and everything are aligned with what I was before so It shouldn't be too hard to find something again. Think I'll start looking around and see how it goes, no rush.

Hmm yeh might try SMEP again this month although I didn't stick to it exactly last month.

Just done EDD too and mine would be 29th Feb so if we're lucky this month I can join the thread too

Fingers crossed for us both then Issie I hope it happens! Would be lovely to all stay together

Fx for you both issie and violet. issie a new job sounds like a great idea! I havent done the EDD thing but i wont be in the feb one. Long cycles are great for not having periods often but terrible for ttc (especially with DP working away weeks at a time...). I'm not due to ovulate until around 22nd june

Brooke have you got any news yet, hope your ok

Sarah are you able to work out when your likely to be ovulating and book a week away (or at home) with your DP.

Been feeling a bit rubbish about last months failed attempt, particularly as i'm sure I felt implantation but today is CD7 and going to start smep again tonight (should be starting on CD8 but 7 works out better for us and I'm sure it doesn't really matter at this early stage!) So onwards and upwards with cycle 3. Hope its 3rd time lucky.

Unfortunately not violet, we might get lucky when he's home, i've bought some cheap OPKs to check i'm ovulating when my app says. He is thinking about looking for a new job which would be 2-3 weeks away then 2-3 weeks at home so would work out much better!

Fx for you! Try not to dwell on it too much, all of us will get our BFPs, its just a matter of when :)

Omg someone needs to make a new thread, i dont know how

Sorry I've been awol...hcg had gone up, but they can't rule out an ectopic pregnancy yet :( and I could still Mc, the cramps are still there :( got to go back in 2 weeks for another scan x

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish violet it's such an emotional rollercoaster ttc. If you're cd8 then this time next week you could be pregnant, just keep focused on that.

That sounds tough sarah how frustrating for you. Do you think your OH will be home for ovulation this month?

brooke so glad to hear your hcg has gone up, that's got to be a good sign. Keeping fx for you, make sure you get loads of rest.

Think I'm due to ovulate 8th June.

Brooke thats great news that your hcg is going up. It's going in the right direction. Yes of course things could go wrong but right now you are pregnant, keep focused on that. Why is it that they can't rule out an ectopic yet, have they seen an intra-utrine pregnancy on the scan, how many weeks are you now hun?

Issie Sarah thanks, starting to feel better now the trying has begun again. Going to keep positive and focus on this month. Even told a real life friend today that we are trying. She's the first person I ve told in real life and so its a bit more real now. Figured that even if it takes a long time, I don't mind her knowing, and someone else to talk to about things can only help. Have you all told anyone in RL? Brooke does hubby know yet?

That's good that you told your friend violet, does she have kids herself? I told my mum and sister last year that we were going to start trying after Xmas but they don't really ask about it, I think they're trying to be tactful.

OOOh keeping fx you join us on feb thread violet and Issie

It has sort of sunk in but still doesn't quite seem real. Also doesn't feel like I can celebrate yet. Have had some bleeding, which I think is ok but was at hosp for it today and back tomorrow.:-(

Violet they scanned me on Sunday when I was 4w5d from lmp and all she said was that she could see a group of cells? To me it was a tiny empty circle? And then said that an ectopic pregnancy can't be ruled out because she couldn't see alot :( so I've got to go back in 2 weeks. Cramps have not got any better either :(

newbie what did they say at the hospital hun? I know bleeding in early pregnancy is quite common but you still must be really worried. Hope you're resting.

brooke I imagine it's going to be a long 2 weeks for you really hoping it's good news for you after the next scan and you can start enjoying your pregnancy.
