June BFP anyone?

[StrawberryRiceCake]

This is cycle #3 TTC for me. I really hoping this will be my month. Who's with me?

Can I join? I've been lurking for a while but never posted before. We've been 'not not trying' for ages but that hasn't got us anywhere so this is officially the first month that we're ttc.

Hello ladies, can I join in please? I literally need to chill the f**k out, hoping to steal all your wisdom! I was on a previous bus but fell right off it... so my stats:
31 ttc #1 cycle 2 bfp due middle of June some time... not sure exactly as I have irregular periods and only came off the pill in March so don't yet know if I have even ovulated

Welcome 3under4 and Heath

Wellcome chill. Yes all gets a bit stressful. You should find the support and understanding your looking for here. I did, best thing I did as was making myself crazy having no one to talk to about it only DP. Men are not always the best at understanding as much as we love them lol

Definitely Rachelc82! I am trying to distract myself with other things/life/work but....it's all so unpredictable and emotional so you end up thinking about it a lot! My bloke is not really in to talking....unless he absolutely has to, very different to me!

I am sure that June will be the lucky month for all of us, sunshine and pinot grigio blush are on their way trying not to panic at news of global prosecco shortage!

Yes it is all you think about chill. Day in day out. It will happen for you though so just stay positive and try to relax, easier said than done I know. Fx for June bfp for everyone.

flat does AF make a regular appearance? Have you tested for ovulation? If those things are in place the depo will be out of your system. Some people are lucky and it is gone a week after the last jab wears off. Others are unlucky and it can take up to 2 years, possibly even longer...

Anyone else not drinking in their 2ww? It's my 1st time not drinking in the 2ww as I think we have the best chance this month because I actually ovulated and managed to have well timed sex. 3 bottles of prosecco calling my name in the fridge. If I do get my BFP I'll be able to sell them on in the summer for 3 times the value - if the daily mail is to be believed. Haha!

Welcome all new June BFP hopefuls.

Good plan vap0! I'm drinking, right now in fact, but I don't feel like I've ovulated yet. After a mmc earlier this year I do feel a bit more cautious - I don't think drink made a difference, but all the cold and flu drugs I took in between a negative and positive might have. So think once I feel the boobs go and get all warm I'll lay off the booze for a couple of weeks. Haven't worked out when I'm due to test, but did work out that if I manage it this month my due date will be Valentine's day

I had the depo too and heard horror stories (too late) so switched to the pill around 6 months before ttc. Didn't cause any problems for me, so fingers crossed for those who have just come off it.

suz glad it's not just me who has already looked up potential due dates
Mine is 12th Feb
I know loads of people drink without knowing about being pregnant and it doesn't seem to do them any harm but I've been waiting so long for this that I'm not taking any chances....
This is going to be a very long bank holiday weekend... Almost looking forward to getting back to work on Tuesday!

Well 4 DPO here. Not feeling anything symptom wise as yet. Should I be, I guess to soon. Wish this tww wait would hurry up

Morning ladies. Can anyone help with all the acronyms? I'm new to this and have worked some out but still stumped on most. I've just been booted off the May bus, maybe a chemical pregnancy as I did test positive but couple of days later I was negative, then bleeding :( x

Aww sorry to hear that Amy. Wish you better luck this month. I googled conception abbreviations and found list of them all. Hope that helps

Thanks Rachel, I'll google now

Vap0 I'm not drinking during my 2ww, nor have I in the previous 5 cycles' 2ww. Won't lie.. there are some months when AF shows up and all I can think "oh thank the gods now I can have a pint". Of course, my other reason for cutting back on the drink is that those ales that I love are full of calories and cutting that out seems an easy way to shed a few pounds.

But now I've replaced ale with chocolate, so whole thing is a wash.

pulp booze is the worst for your weight isn't it! I stopped drinking in the week as of 1st jan and have lost 1st 4lbs so far, no other changes to diet. Actually that's a lie, I substituted booze for chocolate in the 1st couple of months too. It's coming off slowly but surely without even dieting, this 2ww should help me drop another 2-3lbs hopefully so if I do get by bfn at least I'll weigh less!

I have been drinking moderately during the TWW. I will have 1 glass of wine a few times a week if we're out with friends, but more because I don't want the questions/'knowing' looks as I am usually fairly free with my consumption. I noticed last TWW I was also drinking less coffee without making an active choice to drink less.

I'm just waiting for things to...finish up here so I can jump DH again. We burnt out last month a bit. I'm hoping to keep things a little more fun this month as opposed to routine.

Hi. I'm TTC #1, cycle 1, age 30. 7 dpo (I think!) today and have some mild cramping. Fingers crossed thats a positive sign but would be very lucky to stick first time I think. Though been on holiday so had a lot of time to dtd!!

Anyone else symptom spotting right now? I'm only 4 dpo, but have a headache and a tiny bit of spotting. No idea what symptoms I'm supposed to be looking out for or when they show up though!

Feeling a bit down about it today.. For the first time EVER I actually noticed I EWCM on Friday but DP was too tired so thought I'd try last night just to give it one last shot and he fell asleep on the couch .

We were regularly DTD up until Friday so I'm hoping that something might still stick...

I was just basing it on the period tracker app I was using and did think it was a wee bit out (ovulation should have been on Thursday) so geared up for that and then stopped DTD when I actually had the signs.. Annoyed that we were really trying and now might've missed it

I really didn't want to get too wrapped up in temping, opks etc but I can tell I'm going to.. We'd been discussing TTC since just before Christmas and eventually decided to really go for it this month.

Oh well, maybe all the bedroom antics earlier the week could still surprise us! Fingers crossed!!

Spotting is good though ping??

When you all say x number of DPO is this because you know this through temping or opks or what?

goose yep! I can't help but symptom spot! Spotting at this time may be a good thing, could be implantation...

I've been totally wiped out for 3 days. 10 hrs plus sleep and still exhausted, just wanting to sit down or go back to bed all day. Only 3dpo today. Good job it's the weekend.
Managed Friday and Saturday without a drink. Phew! Not easy for me, I'm usually the 1st one at the bar. Once I get my bfp it will be no problem, it's just all this waiting...
The tiredness is a hopeful sign, I hope! If not I'm going to get to the dr in a couple of weeks.

Just looked on annihilation calendar and it says ovulation should occur on dpo9 for my cycle.

Whoops! Posted without finishing
Annihilation an ovulation
If it's correct I should be able to test a week on Monday!

Vap - I've been off depo 6 years now, but was on it for a long, long time. I'm a bit worried as I suffered from EDs for quite some time, so together with depo I didn't have periods between the ages of 14 - 25 (having started age 10). My periods returned and appear to be regular, but I don't know whether I ovulate . I do OPKs and get the LH surge (although this varies between CD13-22!) so I have nothing to suggest I DON'T ovulate, but I struggle with temping so only have the OPKs to go on (which don't actually prove that ovulation takes place!).

In other happier news, well done on the weight loss . That's an amazing achievement! You must feel great . Maybe your body's delaying that BFP so you can have the chance to show off your hot bod ?! Seriously though, well done!

As for booze in the TWW, I'm going to start having the odd drink. I'm not a massive drinker anyway, so if I DO drink it won't be more than 2-3 glasses of Prosecco on a Friday night. I never thought I'd think that, but I've just spent 6 months being SO VIRTUOUS and putting myself in the "are you pregnant?" firing line by agonising over every thing I eat and stressing about how to respond if I'm told to drink , even stopped doing crunches at the gym in case I was damaging my unborn baby...after last month's hell (basically had convinced myself I was pregnant, then it turns out I probably have endometriosis which probably significantly reduces my chances of conceiving) I need to do everything I can to be 'normal' and not get too hopeful/obsessed with TTC as it's so unlikely to happen .

flat im pretty sure the depo will be gone after 6 years, that's a very long time.
I know what you're saying about temping, I couldn't do it either as it would interfere with my sleep too much and I'm in hotels so often that I doubt it would be accurate. Also I hear drink interferes with the temp which would be useless for me.
Not sure how reliable the opk's are, the only experience I have of it is I had a hycosy scan where the doc said he could see a potential follicle which could possibly grow big enough. After seeing him 3 months later he corrected his statement and said "I said I may have seen a follicle which could have possibly developed into something viable but at the same time could have shrivelled away". I didn't have a positive opk that month. The 2 months after I did. So what I make of this is I didn't ovulate and didnt have an opk. The last 2 months I have had an opk and so am hoping that means I have ovulated.

10 is very young for periods. Have you been to see you dr about Ttc? So is this your 7th month Ttc? What implications are there if you do have endomitrioisis? How does it affect you? Will it mean you'll need drugs to help concieve? Or will it just take longer?
I have drank for the past 19 months, but for some reason this month I feel differently about it and am not drinking. Really hoping im in with a chance this time which is probably more to do with it. I have to say it is making a difference with my weight, usually my weight dips by a Friday morning and then bounces back up a couple of lbs after a weekend of drinking, hoping by Monday I'll be another lb lighter and if so it will all have been worth not drinking this weekend.
How many dpo are you at the minute? When will you be testing?

That's really interesting Vap. I always thought there MUST be a fairly strong link between getting a positive OPK and actually following through with ovulation, but I've seen so many people on here saying that you can get the LH surge but then the actual ovulation part, for whatever reason, doesn't happen. That's a good sign though. Which one's the hycosy? There are so many procedures, and so many drugs, I can so confused about what is for what!

I know! 10 years old was miserable. I just developed really early; I was 5ft5 at 10 and stopped growing a year or two later! Ridiculous!

So apparently endometriosis is where endometrial tissue is found outside the uterus and 'trapped' in other places where it shouldn't be (vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes...even your lungs and brain in v. rare cases). There are a whole load of symptoms, including v painful periods, pain having sex, pain in the pelvic area or tummy, bowel problems etc. One symptom is an inability to get pregnant. I went to see my doctor as for quite some time I have had agonising pain in my pelvic area (particularly around AF time) and pain when having sex (not soreness, but absolute agony and feeling like somebody is stabbing me 'down there'...great when TTC!). Anyway, as a result of this I need to get checked for STIs (great seeing as I've been with DH for years and we've both been tested since getting together!), then have to have an appointment with a gynae consultant then most likely (but still TBC) have laporoscopic surgery where they basically shove a camera in your abdomen and take a look around. It looked like I was going to have to wait until August for the initial STI test, but luckily I may be able to go privately through my work PMI. Fingers crossed I have some answers soon. We've 'only' been trying 5 cycles (in 6th now), but I just know something is up because of all the pain so I just want to get that started.

I'm currently CD10 so starting to prepare for DTD. It's not helpful that I now get a little nervous about it because of the pain!!! How about you? How long have you been trying and how far are you in this cycle?
