"Casually" TTC

TTC number 2, we've agreed to go ahead in a "let's just see whAt happens, no pressure" kind of way. so I'm casually charting my cycles with a fertility app, breezily checking my cervical mucous, nonchalantly scouring the conception board and definitely not compiling a list of names for dc2 Blush.
What is so frustrating is that because I'm "casually" charting all of this I know exactly when my fertile window is and keep bloody missing it because I don't want to give the game away and look like baby crazed monster! Last month my carefully timed advances were thwarted by a five-aside groin strain. I think today was the day and was planning a seduction after dd's bedtime but he announced he was off to his brothers for a bank holiday drink.
This is lighthearted and is not a problem with communication in my marriage. I think he felt the pressure last time and I'm really trying to keep this as relaxed as possible (for him) but that's just not my style.

Definitelysometime · 25/06/2015 14:30

Congratulations shock! Great news. Yes, sorry swizzle. I too would do it all again (and will, just as soon as I can) to get a baby again. So completely worth it all.

kitkat1989 · 25/06/2015 14:40

feeling stressed out. cd 40 now :-( dont have anyone to talk to cos not many people know were trying and those that do arent the type of people to give advice

lexb14 · 25/06/2015 15:06

CongratsGrin

Chattymummyhere · 25/06/2015 16:30

Kitkat go to the doctors or just ride it out is the only advice really.

Angus oil I think it was is apparently good for helping to regulate periods never tried it though. I enjoy not having periods but I need them right now.

Curly86 · 25/06/2015 22:42

Yay shock congratulations!!!

Kitkat my cycles were anything up to 55days when I TTC #1 I used agnus cactus and I went to a 30 day cycle by month 3 and that's the month I fell pregnant; I used the tincture instead of pills you use it until you ov then stop if I remember rightly

IrritatedPartyOf1 · 26/06/2015 20:00

Congratulations Shock!!
Anyone else close to testing?
AF is due tomorrow, planning on testing in the morning if she doesn't arrive.

Alice1983 · 26/06/2015 22:48

Me in about 5 days. Not holding much hope though. Star

amd137 · 27/06/2015 00:13

Bern TTC since February 2014 with no luck, i have a pretty regular period, im 10 days late, 2 neg tests with no signs of aunt flo showing up. There hasnt been any added stress etc that would cause a delay, quite confused. Really tired, headaches, frequent urination. Any ideas?

IrritatedPartyOf1 · 27/06/2015 17:01

It's positive!! I even went out and bought a CB digital just so I could see the words lol Grin

spottedquoll · 27/06/2015 17:03

Congrats Irritated! Grin

IrritatedPartyOf1 · 27/06/2015 17:03

amd137 I know a few people that wouldn't get a positive until they were 6 to 8 weeks. If AF doesn't arrive next week maybe ask you gp about a blood test?

IrritatedPartyOf1 · 27/06/2015 17:04

Thanks spotted Smile Grin Smile

Curly86 · 28/06/2015 18:11

Yay well done irritated!!

So AF was due this weekend and hasn't made an arrival yet BUT it's my first month since coming off the pill so I'm expecting things to be up in the air! The good news thought TMI ALERT my mucus plug from the mini pill came away yesterday! So hopefully I'm in full baby making order now! Just need AF to turn up so I know when it's baby dance time!

kitkat1989 · 29/06/2015 12:02

STILL NO AF! went to doctors on saturday about it as i shouldv been due on the 7th... but the doctor wasnt worried as a home test has said negative he didnt even bother doing another!! he has put me on folic acid though. but im still really 'what the hell is going on!' i know it can take a few months to regulate but i came off the pill in april abd my period in may was regular as clockwork its jut this month its started messing around. and the doctor even said its unusual.to have a period and then it go funny it normally happens straightaway

Chattymummyhere · 29/06/2015 16:41

My sil had something like that weeks late and her doctor was a bit crap and just kept saying I don't think your pregnant but no idea. In the end she did get her period but I was shocked at how crap the doctors are with stuff like this. Well I've causally been accepted on to a ttc trial which gives me free opks and pregnancy tests, just as my Amazon lot arrived Sod's law.

My next door neighbour has just been showing me her 12week scan picture and my sil's belly is looking very bloated and bump like for a women claiming not to be pregnant and who didn't drink alcohol on her holiday abroad last week.

reminder be more causal

PallasCat · 30/06/2015 17:58

KitKat - really feel for you Sad so frustrating.

I'm feeling pretty broken. Sad Don't want to go into detail but my OH has a potentially major health scare. He's been to the dr and we're awaiting a referral. We should know in a couple of weeks if it's serious... FX... hopefully it's a false alarm.

Ugh. Sad

spottedquoll · 01/07/2015 22:25

Just casually dropping by. I'm past my fertile time according to Ovia so might stop having this month off ttc and just let things be how they turn out... Wink

Sorry to hear that Pallas, will keep my fingers crossed for you both.

PallasCat · 02/07/2015 18:10

Thanks Spotted. Referral letter has come through, we should have a picture of what we're dealing with Tuesday after next. In the meantime Mr Cat doesn't want to TTC until we know what's going on. Sad

Chattymummyhere · 03/07/2015 22:18

Well I had my + opk tonight, Dtd Wednesday and tonight so should be covered I'm thinking. Ovia was right with my fertile period considering the length of my last cycle.

Any news kitkat ?

kitkat1989 · 04/07/2015 06:55
