Jan/Feb 2016 TTC - who's in?

[emanne]

Me and OH decided we WILL get pg either Jan or Feb... (We hope) had symptoms already this month.. Yippee!!! And bad ones at that.. The usual... Sore boobs frequent peeing, extremely veiny boobies, headache, nausea etc and this is all only 10dpo! Come along for the journey my fellow ttc-ers
What's your TTC stories/symptoms ? First or second baba? Support & love x

[Abella]

Lottegraham- same position. Got pregnant quickly with first and being trying since July with the second. No luck been to the Drs with advice that it WILL happen... Have had day 21 blood test to check I'm ovulating normally, maybe after six months in Feb you could ask for that too?

[tspika1981]

Hello all! I'm in, too…but not starting till the end of the month, or it'd be too early for my work schedule. I've absolutely no idea about anything pregnancy-ish at all, so it'll be quite a learning curve if it happens. It's all quite intriguing, isn't it?

[BetterthanEE]

Can I join in? I'm ttc #4 I think this cycle is over for me, but Im not certain! Had red mucous on Wednesday with bfn then more brown blood today with bfn. Assumed af would be along but isn't yet. I just want to get on with ttc!

[nuggles]

Evening everyone!
I think I might be out this cycle, feels like AF is on the way.
Decided to buy an ovulation kit off amazon so hopefully that'll help next cycle. In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy some chocolate and a glass of wine tomorrow is AF does appear - some perks to it!
Good luck to everyone who's joined over the weekend and ttc 😀

tspika1981 - it is intriguing! I don't know much pregnancy-related either. It's gonna be a shock when I do get my BFP!

[AliceScarlett]

Hi everyone, I'm in. Ovia just told me I'm at my fertile time, so best get DH busy! I'm so impatient, just want it to happen now, goodness knows what I'll be like in 6-12 months time

[LittleGreyCatwithapinkcollar]

Yes BoBo. This month seems to have really dragged waiting for AF, plus as it's my first cycle since DD was born I have no idea if it's actually coming when it should or not. Day 24, with an irregular cycle of 27-35 days pre pregnancy and no idea what it'll be like now. Hopefully short and regular!

[BoBo90]

fx AF pays you a flying visit soon LittleGrey
I'm on CD 48 and getting fed up now! I've come off various pills over the years and always returned to my normal cycles (35 day) immediately. Typical that this time when I actually need them to return to normal they wont
This is my first time TTC and we're not telling anyone so it's nice to be able to talk to people on here

[fridaylady7]

Fx guys, haven't posted in a while. Airing for fertile time at the end of the month feels like forever away! It will be the 1st time ttc. Slightly nervous. Been married 8 months and some advice is to wait till later to 'enjoy' our time, but at 30, maybe it's nerves, but since we don't know how long it will tak and we'd be delighted, I don't think it makes sense to wait. Very much looking forward to becoming parents!

[BoBo90]

Friday- I'm in the same boat! Been married 7 months and we don't want to wait any longer. People always use the 'spend time together before you have a child' line seemingly forgetting you have just spent your whole relationship together prior to marriage! Its our first try to and I'm also nervous but super excited! Just hope my body doesn't make me wait too long
Good luck to you and don't ever doubt that it's the right thing to do if it's what you really want

[cnchapmanxx]

Im in this month! the dreaded af showed up today, a day early! thanks witchy haha! anyway bit of info about me, been married for 2 years! came off cerelle in november, had a withdrawal bleed for a couple of days then had my first period 14th December, on ovia ovulated end of december didnt DTD as much as i would of liked as was on holiday and very tired, so this was only our first month TTC. IVe been on ebay and stock up on ovk and cheapy pg tests. also bought conceive plus, agnus castus and a basal temp! i mean business! BFP for all of you for jan/feb :)

[Abella]

So confused- using fertility monitor and also ovia. Been having sex everyday this week in preparation for next but fertility monitor says I'm fertile this week!!!!! When according to ovia it should be next.... Will just have to crack on then!

[BetterthanEE]

Oooh Ive just downloaded ovia! I think af has finally turned up (been having spotting for days and it's finally heavy enough to wear a pad)
Am ready to get cracking this month! I hate all the waiting and hate the waiting through pregnancy too! I'm so impatient

[Abella]

Me too! How long have you been trying?

[BetterthanEE]

We decided to try mid way through my last cycle, so really this is the first cycle. What about you?

[Greenikins]

HI all, jumping in with my first ever post. Eek.
Hoping for a BFP on he 24th, 32 yo, this will be our 3rd cycle of trying and lots of sex during my fertile days so fingers crossed.
Also applying for my own job tomorrow so let's hope the BFP comes also with a permanent contract and not unemployment!
Good luck all xx

[nuggles]

Good luck with the job app @Greenikins!

So no AF for me yet, cd 47, but I have had spotting twice at 33 and 46 days - along with usual period cramps and uber tiredness. My periods are irregular anyway - I'm putting them down to tiredness and still breastfeeding my 12 month old at night.

Any idea anyone what spotting twice in one cycle means?

[H0p3]

Hi All,

I've enjoyed reading this thread this evening. I'm new to this too. BF and I decdied to ttc last year. Had my implant removed at the beginning of December and so far no AF. Have poas the last two Fridays but only bfn so far.

AF wasn't regular on the implant - every 6 months or so I'd have some pantyliner worthy spotting - and don't think I've had one in the last 9 months but wasn't tracking before.

Have had some nausea and sore boobs in the last 7 days and more frequent peeing, but I can put all of these down to other things so without a bfp I'm assuming I should just wait for AF.

Not sure if it's worth using ovulation sticks yet...any advice on if I should/can track ovulation at this point gratefully received. Has anyone else had an implant removed and waiting for AF?

Wishing you all lots of luck!

[Needabiscuit]

Hi

Can I join in!

We've only just started ttc #2,

After my first ds in 2014, I never went back to the pill, so hoping it won't take to long to fall pregnant, I fell with my first very easy,

but I'm slightly terrified that it won't be easy, as I feel I should of conceived already because we haven't been "stopping it",
And have since heard story's of the second baby is difficult to conceive,

I did have a scare a few months back, when we weren't ready for another, and that being negative made us realise we wanted another soon, before the age gap with the first got too big,
We waited until Xmas was over to knuckle down, and start really trying,
However I don't want to put to much stress on it, as I know that's not gonna help!!!!
Aarghhhhhh

[cnchapmanxx]

How is everyone tonight?
On the boring stage of waiting for ov! Going to start testing on 24th Jan ready for my fertile period! Feels ages away!! Xx

[Greenikins]

Hi cnchapman! Hope you can enjoy the next week. I'm in the 2ww and suffering with unusual extreme fatigue today. Can't get off the sofa. I'm trying not to see it as a sign cos it's far too early for that! AF due in a week. I'm thinking it's probably a result of all the adrenaline I had for my interview yesterday.
@nuggles thanks for good luck wishes. No idea what spotting twice means, wish our bodies were less mysterious!

[FlourishingMrs]

I am feeling so fed up 12 DPO and very light AF just a panty liner, but also got a faint positive on super drug pregnancy test this morning. Was clearly negative yesterday.

I don't know what to do. Is this another miscarriage? It's very faint you may not see it.

[alice87m]

Hi I hope you don't mind me joining your thread? I took my last pill on Dec 14th and we having been TTC ever since. I've had a withdrawal bleed but nothing since. Done a test but it was negative unsurprisingly! Just looking for some advice and support

[cnchapmanxx]

Hi greenikins I feel your pain the 2ww is the most longest 2 weeks of your life!! It's like when you waiting for payday after Christmas it's terrible! Fx for Hun x

Hi Alice I came off my pill in November had a withdrawal bleed then my period came about 3 weeks later! I've had my second period now on Jan 13th so officially ttc for this month! Sometimes your body gets back to normal very quickly or other time it can take months for your periods to regulate. All I can advise is to be patient and check your ov sticks could u could ov without a period! Good luck xx

[alice87m]

Thank you for the message cnchapmanxx! I'm such an impatient person and I think when you decide to want a baby you want it to happen straight away! Are the ovulation kits easy to use? I've been trying to be relaxed about the whole process but I'm quickly becoming obsessed!
