TTC #2 - would anyone like to share the journey?

[CarrotPuff]

All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Anyone else?

Sore throat seems to have buggered off but replaced with cough and streaming cold, bleugh!

DS is being a trooper but he's snotty and coughing too.

DH home today!! He lands at Heathrow in an hour so I should see him by midday. I think I may cry - it's been a very tough week. I'm used to him being away but I'm not used to being ill in sole charge of a toddler :(

Oh bless you sep15, please don't apologise! You've been through such rough times! {{hugs}} I hope clomid works

mrsmugoo that's crap, being ill and looking after a toddler is no fun at all! I hope you get better soon, and DH is looking after you. Lots of all around!

Got EWCM yesterday, I guess I might be ovulating a bit earlier this month. Some shagging is on books tonight!

Welcome Sep15. I'm sorry to hear your story but thank you for sharing, it must be so hard. Remember, you are in the darkest part of the tunnel right now and one day you'll look back at this time and think 'wow, that was tough'. Try to focus on the postives - the tests didn't find anything bad and you are receiving treatment to get you that sticky BPF, which I'm sure will happen Feel free to share on here - sometimes it's easier than sharing with nearest and dearest

Sorry to hear you are still ill Mrsmugoo, hope you feel better soon

Sorry AF got you Char but here's a (gold star!) for positivity!

Congratulations Cuppa!! Sorry haven't been on for a while been crazy busy at work and we go on holiday on the weekend so it's a bit manic here...

Hello to the Newbies and sorry to hear your story sep15 :( hopefully we can make you feel a little bit better, everyone is lovely on this thread xx

Nobody should ever feel bad for sharing their story, that's what we're here for!
I've been getting mild cramps in the tops of my legs this evening which normally happens the first couple of days of AF but haven't seen any blood yet. Not sure what it means as they usually come after the bleeding starts will have to wait and see, not getting too hopeful yet because I'm not sure when it's due exactly this month...On a positive note I walked past three pharmacies on my errands today and didn't go in to any to buy pg tests. I'm feeling very proud of my self-control but I think I might break soon, because of irregular periods its been months since I took a test and I feel like I'm missing it

Thanks for the star torfhinn - still only cd2 but def feeling positive for this month! My online order of bbt thermometer and my opk's just arrived! Does anyone else temp? This is my first month !

Well done on the self control bird - you're a better woman than I am lol ;)

How you feeling avasmum ?

Thanks for the congratulations again. Tommorow is when my period would have been due, so until I make it to Friday I'll be a little nervous.

Sorry to hear your story Sep15. I really hope one day soon you'll be looking from the other side of the fence.

Sorry about AF charchar. I temped and opked for my last two cycles so they obviously do the job!

Fingers crossed mrsmugoo and birdbrain and anyone else testing soon. Hope it's your months!

Sorry to read your story Charchar. Cuppa I've got everything crossed for you. mrsmagoo hope you feel better soon. As for me I'm out this month, work have announced redundancies, might be best if we don't ttc this month until I know the outcome

I'm glad I managed the self control as AF arrived in the night. Oh well a new month to see what happens at least I'm not in the tww. Think I'll go spend the money I saved on some chocolate, dd has a cold and was up half the night, makes me glad I'm not pg at the moment.
mrsmagoo how you feeling? is your lo any better?

Jealous of your self control bird; I'm due AF Friday but am out for tonight so thought I better POAS this morning just in case. BFN. Obviously.

Can't properly rule myself out due to past late BFPs but after a small cry last night over house-packing and the need to consume a whole pile of chocolate I think I can feel AF looming. Might go easy on the wine anyway, it just makes me angry when I've got PMT.

char send some of those positive vibes my way, I don't think DP will suffer another meltdown over whether or not the boxes will all fit in the van.

Hope you're feeling Ok avas and cuppa and you had fun last night carrot

AF due Friday here too - not tempted to POAS as I feel about as PMT as it possible to be - proper emotional wreck here lol!

I haven't POAS either, but 99% sure AF is due tomorrow

Stop the press - getting the start of AF now

Sorry for the AF Mrsmugoo and birdbrain :( fingers crossed for everyone else waiting!

Cuppa have u noticed any symptoms yet?

I'm feeling very very bloated char and keep getting waves of nausea and my boobs are heavy and sore! I'm still nervous though, the symptoms seem a lot stronger than my previous preg that ended in miscarriage so can't wait to get the 12week scan and see that everything is hopefully okay! Almost six weeks away though Eughhh x

Has not been a good day here. I'm little miss PMT and have argued with DH about him not pulling his weight and being married to his business. More than one "is it really a good idea to be having another baby" has been thrown in to the arguments (from both sides)

Hoping for a better day tomorrow :(

Sorry you're joining me in AF club bird & mrsmugoo at least we're in it together and CD1 - new cycle, new chance :) got to stay positive - there's a little baby up there somewhere for each of us - just waiting for the right moment to be a part of our family.

Sending you extra positive vibes tango

Hey avasmummy I can understand why you're nervous - after a miscarriage you turn into a paranoid wreck :-0 but strong symptoms is a good sign I guess :)

mrsmugoo sounds a bit like our house the other day - it's easy to say hurtful things in an argument. Hope you've made up now! You have about a week to make friends anyway then you'll need him for his baby making skills haha - jokes ;)

Sorry to those AF got, hoping this new cycle will be the one for you all. Fingers crossed for those who are testing on the next few days. Good luck to the shaggers! May all your eggs be fertilised.

I still have a couple cycles worth of soy isoflavones of anyone's interested.

Avasmum I'm still really nervous too, had to poas yesterday just to confirm the line was darker. As for symptoms, light stretchy cramps, mega sore and huge boobs, bit bloaty and I've been sick a couple times. If your symptoms are stronger this time it's a really good sign, so try not to worry(as if that's possible TTC, pregnancy, birth and children are just worry after worry)

Grr stupid laptop just lost a post!

and for the witch hosts. It's quite cool you're all having synchro cycles though. If you all get upduffed you'll have the same EDD until 12w scan at least

Having some serious EWCM here, so wanted to DTD yesterday too but DP was tired Today should still be good though, and I think I've just ovulated too.

Hello - can I join in too? Have a 3yo who took 13 cycles to conceive. I do want another but very apprehensive about realities of having 2. I hated the the lack of sleep and had PND too. We have just started not preventing again and I'm terrified either that it will happen straight away, or not at all, and I don't have the energy to worry about obsessing over not falling pregnant.

Anyway - hello!

Oh my goodness had a BFP this morning

LaPampa that was exactly my concern too, and it's happened first month after taking a year last time. Bit shell shocked today, especially as 18mo had a tantrum-filled morning!

wow - congratulations Queazy. Literally your first month of trying; that must be great?

I feel like I've forgotten all the things you're supposed to do/look out for when TTC. I've started tracking stuff using a Glow App and it keeps asking me about temperatures and cervical position. We both work FT with daughter at full time nursery and it's hard enough to get out of the door on time (never) without adding all that crap too. Anyone else feel like that?

Oh wow queazy! Congrats!
3 grads from this thread already!

LaPampa - I used clearblue digital ovulation tests last month and they are great and make things really simple. You just start testing around day8/9 depending on your cycle length and they tell you if you're fertile.

I can notice an increase in CM around ovulation but all the creamy/sticky/egg white etc is confusing!

Welcome LaPampa!

Oh wow congrats Queazy, wishing you an easy uneventful pregnancy

DS at nursery and I haven't done anything productive today. Apart from sending a few job applications. Very annoyed with myself!
