AF here. Will stay on June bus as this was actually May!

wishiwaspregnant · 30/05/2015 23:46

Sorry for AF louwn crack open the wine! That's always a good consolidation prize. I always have a bottle chilling on day i POAS!
keys yes we will be POAS buddies this month! I'm away until the 15th though so will hold off until I'm back if AF has not arrived in the mean time. DH has hidden my last 2 tests so I don't get the urge lol.
suz I wonder if we can add 'fearce cat love' to our symptoms list (not that we are symptom spotting or anything!) gotta love the cats! My cat alway give me loads of love so I'm not sure if I'd notice! Lol

MyNameIsSuz · 31/05/2015 00:13

Sorry to hear that Lou, as you say the month hasn't even begun yet!

Wish, it should definitely be added to the list! You should have seen her, it was the kind of attention i get when she hasn't been fed for a few hours, really forceful 'looooove meeeeee'. She was like it when I was pg with my boy.

pingoose · 31/05/2015 07:22

Sorry louwn! Definitely means you can have a drink and some cake.

Don't think this will be my month - BBT dropped this morning, which my app helpfully tells me is not a sign of pregnancy. AF due Thursday.

Anyone testing today?

louwn · 31/05/2015 07:40

Thanks ladies. Fingers crossed for June BFPs for us all! At least means I can have a drink at the social events pre 2ww without guilt! :)

keys27 · 31/05/2015 07:46

louwn Im so sorry huni hope you had a lovely evening and yes defo in the June bus still hun. Gl for the end of the month.

suz I really hope that is a sign for you hun. When are you due to test? Be interesting if cat was right.

sarah I used to like a drink but when you fall pg your mummy instincts kick in and once you become a mummy you have no time to drink lol lucky if you get a coffee in of a morning.

wish Oh thats good hun at least your away for the 2ww I wish I had something to take my mind off of things. I would say I will hold off to the 15th as well but I dont think I will have the will power lol. Even though weve back off from dtd. I still am hoping.

CarrotVan · 31/05/2015 08:50

I had no problem not drinking during pregnancy - I drink a lot of sparkling water with angostura bitters instead though. And ate lots of kit kats

MyNameIsSuz · 31/05/2015 08:53

I hope so keys! Due on the 6th, so a week today, but reckon I could get away with testing on Thursday.

I think I am probably imagining symptoms, I never get lots of symptoms anyway and am possibly just extra aware of my boobs rather than them actually feeling more tender than usual, iyswim.

I think I'm feeling time pressure now - I was pregnant earlier this year which ended at 13 weeks, there would have been 3 years between ds and that one which I was very happy with. I just can feel that gap getting bigger and bigger. Next month will mean a 3.5 year gap, more than that feels huge.

keys27 · 31/05/2015 10:38

suzi Oh hun so sorry I lost mine at 13 weeks 2 weeks ago today so I know how much you've hurt. Big hugs. Did you have a few months break TTC? Or did you go straight back in?
I think a first response would give you a faint line on thursday if you were but everyone is different and with my first DD I didn't get a line until the day AF was due I ovulated late.
I think you get a feeling in your heart if you are or not.

I had a bleed friday and saturday and I am unsure if its end of mc or a small af i have no idea I have the horrible taste in my mouth and sore boobies so I think my body is playing tricks on me.
I am due to test on 14th and got a line on ovulation stick today and getting the ovulation show so fingers crossed. I am not going rushing things as my body is so tired :( I think when I lost baby my heart just wanted to get pregnant again and when I got my bleed OH thinks I was pushing my body and to relax this month but of course I am still hoping to get a bfp this month as when we dtd it is unprotected.
Try not to feel to pressured but I know how hard that it hun the more pressure you put on your body the less chance you have to fall. I am very lucky I have two DD's 5 and 2 so this will be my last now and would love the age gap also.
I will be keeping everything crossed for you hun. Looking forward to hearing your update. I think your next in line to test.

carrot That's what I had the sparkling water and also like ginger ale but sparkling water with lime pieces in it was my drink.

Heres hoping we all stay together and move over to the pregnancy page very soon :).

MyNameIsSuz · 31/05/2015 15:44

Sorry to hear that keys. We waited one period to try again, I'm glad we did as I needed it really for my body to get back to normal. So this is month two really. Fingers crossed!

louwn · 31/05/2015 18:15

Felt really down and upset today, which is stupid as its our first time trying. I think that I am not quite emotionally ready for all this TTC business to be honest because it upset me so much. Might wait a while til I feel a bit less all over the place about it.

Rachelc82 · 31/05/2015 19:02

Well Af came 2 days early (today) ??. A bottle of wine chilling for this evening. Onwards and upwards on to cycle 11 of ttc ?? hoping to get my lucky month soon.

FlatWhiteToGo · 31/05/2015 20:00

Awww Rach I'm so sorry. Lots of hugs and Flowers. It's unbelievably miserable when AF comes, especially if you had got your hopes up. The only slight positive (and I know this is clutching at straws) is that you had 2 days less of agonising/symptom spotting and you have started the next cycle more quickly. I'm wishing you lots of luck. I'm also sending hugs and luck to everyone else who has had AF (Louwn and everyone else). Onwards and upwards!

Suz - I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can only imagine what that must feel like, so do give yourself plenty of time to recover (both mentally and physically). Try not to worry about the age difference as it really does not matter in the overall scheme of things (although I know it sucks when you have plans and dreams for how things SHOULD work out). There are certainly advantages to having a wider age difference - less arguing and competing for one Smile!!!

Louwn - I'm sorry you feel so down today. Is there any reason in particular or is it just the heartache of getting your hopes up and getting excited and then AF coming and crushing all that excitement? If so, then pretty much ALL of us know exactly what you're going through and we're here whenever you want to have a little vent Smile. It really is a horrible process when you're ready to have a baby and it doesn't seem as though it will happen anytime soon - especially as it feels like everyone else on the planet falls pregnant as soon as they hold hands with their OH. Why do you feel all over the place about it?

Wish - very long story short (because I've already given a monologue on it earlier in this thread so don't want to hog the sympathy) but it looks as though I may have endometriosis and I've probably had it for quite some time. Depending on how severe it is, it can drastically reduce your chances of getting pregnant. I've had 5 cycles of giving it EVERYTHING and I do everything "right" (e.g. don't really drink, don't smoke, not overweight, exercise loads, changed the "bad" things in my life like drinking caffeine etc), so had thought I'd fall pregnant within a couple of months. Anyway, every month AF has come, even though some months I was CERTAIN I was pregnant because I had so many symptoms. While this has been going on (and for quite a while before TTC) I've had quite a few other symptoms which have been incredibly painful so saw a GP, who immediately said that it's likely to be endo and that one of the symptoms of endo is infertility. As a result of this I feel totally shattered...BUT it does at least mean the TWW won't be as emotionally draining Smile. As for temping, I enjoy it (I think because the thermometer is pink and white and I'm won over by its prettiness), but I've woken up in 5 different places this month alone (for work - I'm not just being promiscuous) and can wake any time between 4am (gross) and 6:30am so there's just no way of checking things consistently Sad. I also don't really get CM, so that's quite hard to monitor...

Carltonlives · 31/05/2015 20:49

Hey everyone! Hope you all had good stress free weekends.

So sorry for those af got. She really sucks man :-(

pingoose sorry for temp drop - you aren't out just yet though

mynameis sorry to hear of your mc. Good luck for Thursday!

keys sorry to hear of your mc. I hope this is your month

louwn I think feeling down is quite normal for ttc but sometimes you know in yourself if you need to take a step back. Hope you're okay

flatwhite you sound like you're having a tough time atm too. Do the doctors have a plan to help you?

I swear my boobs feel heavier than usual. I could, on the other hand, be imagining it. It's very hard to tell. 5 days til test day!!

Sarah563 · 31/05/2015 22:01

Good luck for test day Carlton. I can't wait for my test day. I think my nipples feel more sensitive than normal Shock

louwn · 01/06/2015 07:31

Flat - thanks. I know I'm being ridiculous but I don't feel very prepared for how emotional it all is. I need to give myself a good talking to! I had a blood test years ago for PCOS which came back that I had raised levels of a certain hormone (can't remember off the top of my head) but a scan showed no cysts. Though I don't have many of the symptoms now (skin is fine and I have always been on the slim side of a healthy weight - the spots were what made me go years ago but they have settled and my skin is fine now just oily) I am wondering whether worth a trip to the doctor, or at least a phone consultation.
Sorry about AF Rachel.FlowersCakeWine

CarrotVan · 01/06/2015 07:43

I'm over my (very short) ovulation peak. No idea if we did enough. I guess I'm testing mid month but will see what happens. I'm had a super busy weekend of sorting out the house now the building work is on the final stretch.

Those who are out - depending on cycle length you could be back in by the end of the month so do stick with us.

louwn everyone has down moments I think and these buses are full of people who step away and come back. I'm not sure your head is ever in the right place for TTC because most of us hope to just C!

Boobear1983 · 01/06/2015 13:50

Hello all, some of you may know me from previous months. Had a break from mn due to feeling down, it's been 10 months of ttc with no joy. Af is a day late so dh and i bought a cheapy test....and bfp! In shock right now

DizzyMerry · 01/06/2015 13:56

I'm here!!! #######Dizzymerry, ttc2, cycle14, not sure when AF is due as don't think I ovulated this cycle####### Had a dip on cd21 and a massive temp rise cd22 and temp slightly down from yesterday but still high today so who knows. Will catch up later on.

DizzyMerry · 01/06/2015 13:58
