"Casually" TTC

[BigChiefThunderThighs]

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 .
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.

sooo I've done the hpt. and I'm even more confused. I know I should of waited until the morning for first wee but I couldn't. there's a faint Blue line. however is that an evap line? I have no clue and now I defo won't be able to sleep. really trying not to get my hopes up. x

A line is good! Did it show up within the 5 mins? Have u tested again this morning?

BigChief thanks for starting this thread- I'm glad I'm not the only one going crazy! We are NTNP supposedly but I've cracked out the OPK s already

In my defence I am keen to know if I'm ovulating as I'm still breastfeeding (well that's what I told DH....)

2 more tests done this morning and both has faint Blue lines on. I've got my bfp!! right who's getting there's next xx

Congratulations!! How exciting! X

Congratulations that wonderful news! So pleased for you

Onecurrantbun - welcome to our casual gathering. It's bloody hard work being so casual all the time! Feel free to unburden yourself here of any obsessive thoughts/activities that your dh doesn't need to know about!

Congratulations! Im still convinced as i still feel crap n currently sat eating cheese n pickle pork pies like theyre the best thing ever even tho i dont actually like pickle!

These are all my symptoms and tell me if u wouldnt be convinced...

Dizziness
nausea
headaches
extreme tiredness
inability to eat anything i dont fancy
bloating
needing to pee loads
bigger boobs
boobs are a bit sore like theyre bruised
extreme mood swings like to a point of can go from happy to acreaming in 10 secs. Called oh a dickhead the other day cos he asked me to put th car away!

Totally convinced, kitkat! I've felt sick and tired all week, which has nothing to do with DD having a tummy bug and waking up a lot, and defies the fact that I'm 2 dpo at most.

Oh ladies help me. I burst in to tears in the John Lewis baby section earlier (I was there legitimately - buying baby gros for my v pregnant best friend). Casual. I am hoping this is my pre AF hormones waking up. I had slightly hoped my test this morning would be a bfp - even though in my heart I know it's too early and I don't think I'm
Ovulating. Must get a grip!!

Ps kitkat try testing in another week - might just be too early? I know a week feels like an age but...

Sounds pretty convincing kitkat! I've also got really sore boobs but it was the same last month so I tnk this must be normal for me at this point in my cycle
Kt bless you! Baby things are so darn cute, it really is too much if your broody! We can't be casual all the time

I swear if im not up th duff i wanna know what the hells wrong! My head feels like its about to explode and even drinkijg a cuppa has me wantimg to hurl :-(

Are you late kitkat? Could just be too early x

I'm sorry I've been out of touch, been busy trying to convince OH to go shopping for a bit (hard work and loads of moaning afterwards!!!) and finally got there. Went to H&M and steered casually away from anything that wasn't 'Adult Section' and went for some Mojito's Back with a vengance and ready for some DTD'ing tonight . I don't know what to say ladies, I am hoping for a BFP beggining of June anyone else?

Obviously I only casually had some Mojito's

Thanks BigChief, I won't test then! I am Super Excited and Super Nervous

Im honestly not sure cos i dont have a regular cycle my period tends to just come when ut feels like it! X

2nd pt is definitely still a bfn

Think iv figured it out... iv started weaning off anti depressants 2 weeks ago... i think my symptoms may b withdrawal symptoms.

Haha Alice! Lef's hope the Mojitos did the trick!
Kitkat that does make sense about why you are feeling so rubbish . Put your feet up and look after yourself, the symptoms will pass. Hopefully the next lot of symptoms will be baby related
Big chief I am OVER babies and cute things and nurseries and all that. Completely.
Maybe not. But I am now on my way for some cider and BBQ! Plus sides to not being upduffed

Kitkat - sorry to hear you're feeling so rubbish. I hope it tails off soon!
Dd has been so bloody awful today that I'm kind of hoping I'm not pregnant, as I don't think I can cope! She's taking the terrible two's very seriously. She's been what mn calls a "high needs" baby but things were starting to calm down a bit, then it was as if someone sent her a memo about the terrible twos and she decided to up the ante

I've decided I am going to POAS on Friday. I hope it's not too early . I so want it to be a BFP and feel like the world is against me.

Fx Alice.
BigChiefTT has peace been restored to your house?! X
