TTC and still breastfeeding? Thread #4: Pull up a chair for some support from others on the journey!

[Augusthomotherium]

Yes, we know all about how emotional and hard it can be! All the pros and cons, all about missing Aunty Flo's and wtf cycles with no ovulation, all about children being cute and pointy. No matter if you are five months or twenty months down the breastfeeding timeline, if you're ttc again, this is the thread to join! Welcome!

Oh Mumofone. Brilliant news! Congrats. So worth all that dtd hey! Did you have any symptoms on your 2ww?

Oh crap!!! Day 5 of flashing smiley. Not good news

Pear, yes from v early on after ov I completely went off coffee & fruit juice which is really unusual for me! I had a bit of light cramping a few days ago, & also my boobs have felt bigger & more tender than normal. Also had a sniffy nose!

Please can I stick around with you ladies for a bit longer? It's such early days!

Glad you had fun last night pear. Hope you get your fixed smiley tomorrow!

Congratulations mumof1!!!!! That's amazing - and such a lovely surprise since you'd convinced yourself if was a bfn! Bet you're glad you took the test now :)

Pear and Ava - dont beat yourselves up. Honestly, you can't live like you're in a bubble for 3 weeks of every month! The info I found on the internet is inconclusive anyway - for every study saying there's a small effect, another says no. And just think how many people get pg while eating and drinking crap!

I had a couple of glasses of wine last night :) I was working til 9.30 in the end and mega stressed so no way I wasn't having some! I'm trying to be as relaxed as I can about ttc and not get too obsessed, but I'm only on cycle 1 of properly trying so I know in a few months I'll be nowhere near as laid back.

Annnnnnd drum roll just checked and I have my fixed smiley!!!!! So the wine obv didnt stop my lh surge at least :) hope you get yours tomorrow pear!

Yay, yay, yay! So pleased for you!!! Fx you'll sail through your pregnancy and name change to Mumof2sofar sometime in Feb 2016 x

Congratulations mumof1(soon to be 2)!!!!

Pear, I feel your and - my temp has stayed around the same the last couple of days, no real dip, no real rise (yet).... Wtf is going on????

Thanks ladies for making me feel better about the caffeine

The dtd ed continues - just for today and tomorrow anyway (unless I get another +ve opk today, that is ) x

Ahh thank you lovely ladies for your kind words!

Wax well done for getting your fixed smiley How many more days will you dtd?

Good luck with the dtd Ava

Thanks mumof1 (2!). I think I'm going to dtd today and tomorrow for the fixed smileys, then maybe another 2 days to be sure? That'll be 9 days of dtd ed, not sure I can face much more...plus we're moving house then a day later, so I wont have any spare energy left after that!

Grr! Another super strong positive opk - no wonder I didn't get my dip today, I haven't even ov'd yet looking at a 10-11 day LP now

Good luck with house move preps, Wax, and dtd mission 'new house, new baby'

thanks Ava! It's actually really good to have something to keep me occupied this month during the tww...

10-11 days is enough of a LP, fear not! Good luck for the continuing dtd :) x

Wax - you're absolutely right. It's just a glass of wine. Seriously can't stress about it all. If I've delayed OV then it's because I'm crazy tired. Going to have a nap whilst DS naps. Maybe it will bring on OV!

Ava - I too could have a 11dpo. I think Mumofone got her bfp on day 11?!

I just want to end this ttc mission so bad! 8th stupid cycles of it. I want to get of the roller coaster please!!

I've just cleared my diary for the week starting 6th July...don't want a repeat of late nights and going out. It clearly effects my efforts

Good luck wax with the dtd & moving!

Ava a 10 day lp is definitely enough I got my bfp 11dpo & tested with a super drug one because it detects 10miu but the digi detects 25miu & also gave me a +ve so it must have implanted on about cd8 I reckon.

Duh! 8dpo not cd8!

Thanks guys

Congratulations Mumo !!! Such wonderful news!

Thanks Lea

I do not want to carry on with my dtd mission Feeling totally fed up and deflated. Want to go to bed and sulk!!

Mumofone - thanks for sharing your symptoms. Helpful to know !

Tmi alert... 5 days ago when I started seeing smiley faces I had a lot more cm going on and now I feel like it's drying up. That's a bit odd isn't it?! Hmmm. I guess there is a possibility that things are on halt!

Just remembered that I only have 1 stick left! Eek

Pear - same here on the CM! I had EWCM Wed, Thurs, a bit yesterday. Now it's gone and I definitely feel like the window has passed...but only today the peak smiley face has arrived. So weird. I have read a few people on here saying that their CB peak was a day or so later than their actual ov by temping though.

I'm with you in the 'I'm sick of the dtd mission' grump. I'm in such a mood and am sick of peeing in a cup and charting my sexing on a stupid app. And once it's over, there's the awful tww and agonising over symptoms to go!

OH my god!!! I came on here to have a moan and could have written Pear and Wax's posts myself! I'm feeling so done with all of this! I was quite dry yesterday compared to the day before and thought that my fertile window was closing, now I have to do it again tonite and for the next 2 nights, and I really don't think that'd be possible cm-wise... I've also been quite grumpy with DH all day and everything he's done seemed to get on my nerves and vice versa so how we're going to dtd when we're so peeved with each other I really don't know....
