When are you due spaceyboo?exciting times!

PunkyPod · 07/01/2016 13:19

Anyone wondering about when they are ovulating....I really recommend the cheapy strip tests on Amazon. They are little green strips which you dip in your pee and they let you know if there's the hormone surge. they are so cheap you can use loads and not feel like you are wasting your money. I find I get a positive result for 2 days. So lots of dtd then! Also do you notice that when you ovulate you suddenly produce a lot of CM? I do so it's a big indicator to me that things are happening. Hope this helps anyone....

raddersmrs · 07/01/2016 13:23

I got my strips of valuemed.co.uk
50 ovulation a tests for about £5.00

That was the cheapest I could find

The CM changes through the cycle which is an indicator as to when ovulating too.

spaceyboo · 07/01/2016 19:52

I have thick milky white discharge now. It's more profuse than the type I usually get before AF. Bloating has also gotten a bit better but nasal congestion has gotten worse lol.

Seacrown- my AF is due tomorrow, so will test in the morning with the Asda early response ones. There is a possibility, however, that I've returned to an iregular cycle after several months of regular ones. Lets see. Really hope I get a BFP.

Please can i join? Trying for our second and Lots of hope for the Next. Using same methods, ovulation monitor, conception pills and reletivley healthy diet!... HOPE!!!!

Signoritawhocansway · 07/01/2016 21:35

Can I join? Ttc number two. DS is 2.5years and was very prem, so taken us a while to get round to deciding on another. Praying it happens fast as life commitments mean a Sept baby would be the best time for us. Got pregnant first time with DS, but maybe that was beginners luck!

LittleGreyCatwithapinkcollar · 07/01/2016 21:58

Baby dust to everyone! This month is dragging on for me. We are starting ttc in my next cycle and it seems to be taking FOREVER to get here!!

Abella · 07/01/2016 22:02

Signoritawhocansanyway we are in exactly the same position! Good luck to you all

spaceyboo · 07/01/2016 22:38

Is anyone losing weight too? I've been doing it slowly and was told by my GP that carrying my diet into ttc and eventually pregnancy (1500 cals, exercise) is a good idea (as my BMI is 30); but was told today by a former midwife that it's not healthy?? Not sure who to believe.

spaceyboo · 08/01/2016 09:59

So tested today and got a BFN, so looks like I'm out until later on this month.

emanne · 08/01/2016 10:45

Demoiselle · 08/01/2016 14:29

Aaaw spacey I know how you feel!

Emanne tell me about it! I hate seeing the BFN!

I really hope it happens for all you guys this month! Atleast some good news from somewhere! Baby dust y'allThanks

nuggles · 08/01/2016 14:37

Did you pluck up the courage to take a test Emanne?

Boo for AF demoiselle. Fingers crossed for success next month.

I'm now 6 weeks no period (last was 10 weeks gap) no idea when and if I ovulated as my body is all over the place. CM tracking is just confusing as hell. Bloody exhausted though - both baby and hubby have the flu.

Might wait another week and take a test. Don't feel pregnant though :( first time round I just knew and could feel I was pregnant

emanne · 08/01/2016 15:55

Well I'm silly and don't stock up on tests so every time OH goes to get one from Asda they're all sold out... He must be getting some funny looks lol I might poas tonight Hmm think AF has just arrived though so I may be out this month :(

spaceyboo · 08/01/2016 16:15

Oh no guys. One of us must get a BFP!!

emanne · 08/01/2016 17:06

Ok so now not sure about AF being here but I have brown discharge (sorry for TMI) and AF is due tomorrow??? Don't know if it's just AF a day early or something else Hmm

Hello all!
DH and I are going to TTC this year, so excited!
I am 29 and he will be 30 this month, hoping it happens quickly.

good luck to all

nuggles · 09/01/2016 13:21

How exciting for @MissMooMoo and SoozC trying for baby number 1. Good luck!

Oh pants @emanne, next month will be our month 😀

No symptoms for me, for AF or anything else. Bugger!

wishingformyfirstbaby · 09/01/2016 19:15

hi everyone Smile
My hubby and I officially TTC this time after 5 years of marriage. hoping that I am pregnant now because I have few symptoms tender breasts and mild cramping in both side from 2dpo and on and off lots of appetite. My period is due on 14th Jan, cant wait to find out.
But I am worried that I felt like this way on September but I was not pregnant :(
usually I don't get tender breasts and cramps before my period. I don't know I am so confused Confused
what's your opinion guys ???????

Abella · 09/01/2016 22:28

The waiting game is the worst! Just keep reading positive stories and try and relax ( says me eagerly awaiting to come off my period and become pregnant!!!!)

lottegraham · 10/01/2016 17:05

Hi everyone, been feeling down :(
So i have a son who is 2 and got pregnant with him the week i came off the pill. TTC since September 2015 now and still no luck. been late coming on every month since and getting my hopes up, used at least 10 pregnancy test as well (such a waste i know, but i'm inpatient).
At what point do i go to the DRs and say its just not happening?
Late coming on this month too so fingers crossed but at the way im feeling i think ill be coming on soon :(
xx

BoBo90 · 10/01/2016 17:29

Im in! DH and I decided to start ttc in December after coming off the pill. No AF yet but hoping it will come this month and then we can ttc in February :) waiting is so frustrating! Anyone else waiting for AF?

Good luck to everyone :D
