I have only told one friend, who strangely I'm not the closest to... I work with her and we socialise a little but she is by no means my closest - I think that makes it easier.

When I came off the pill last year my cycle was really screwed up and I'd convinced myself that there was something wrong with me - so I spoke to my closest friend about it. She was great at first, then the next day she text me telling me she would be my surrogate if I ever wanted it. I was furious. We hadn't even tried to conceive! And she knew that. I only asked her experience with coming off the pill.

It's nice to be able to come on here and ask random questions and look for advice knowing there will be no judgement!

Writerwannabe83 · 15/02/2016 21:35

I have told one colleague but that's it. Various relatives and friends know me and DH are considering having a 2nd baby but they don't know it's something that is going ahead.

I'm feeling quite negative today about this cycle, I've gone from being excited about possibly being pregnant to now feeling despondent that I won't be....

cockermum85 · 15/02/2016 21:52

Oh no... I know this won't help but try not to feel like that. It's as likely either way. try to hang in there and you know where we are if you need us!

This weekend I spent the weekend panicking that I might be (it's my first and I'm terrified) but today I've been excited and convinced I've got mild cramping (even though I've had this before)

GinandJazzHands · 15/02/2016 22:08

Oh writer it's such an emotional rollercoaster isn't it? Thinking of you - cocker is right - here's to your BFP soon.
cocker I'm in the same boat; excited about the future and scared about flipping our lives upside down, hoping we are strong enough to make it through with a relationship of our own at the other side, wondering how much we will change, all the things that could go wrong. But that's life I guess isn't it? I know we want this, so when I start to worry I'm trying to make myself focus on all the potential positives (sometimes easier said than done)!

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 15/02/2016 23:51

baby I hate the first 14 days of the cycle more than the 2WW. I tend to of around cd 17-19, so the first part seems boring, pointless and definitely not pregnant.

cocker I did the same thing. I told someone at work not particularly close. Not sure why!

DH is away this week. He'll be back well before the important part of the month though. One of his (female) colleagues asked him if he was going to miss the fertile window I was a bit put out that he'd be discussing my internal workings with his colleagues, to be honest.

cockermum85 · 16/02/2016 06:55

Giraffe my dh did the same yesterday! He was working with a guy who is new to his company and he was sharing all! I wasn't happy, I don't really know why. He starting telling me that this colleague reckons we should DTD every 2-3 days. Now it may well be good advice but I didn't really like that he was talking about me t to someone else... But I suppose it's the same for him as it is for me. He's excited and frustrated with the tww so I guess he felt he needed to talk to someone removed from the situation .

Writerwannabe83 · 16/02/2016 07:57

My DH would love sex every 2-3 days but the problem is that unless it's within my fertile window I seriously lack the motivation to do it

6dpo today and symptom spotting continues!! I was having very weird stretching and tightening sensations in my lower abdomen last night when I was lying in bed so I'm clearly pregnant

With my DS I was testing from 7dpo but I'm going to try and resist going down that path again this time....

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 11:02

Hello ladies,as the journey continues hope u are all well and fx fx!

writer a few more days and u can start poas hun.best of luck!

cocker kellz gin giraffe baby fuzzy {waves}
Hoping March brings us good news.
Haven't been lucky so for with dtd so am planning to pin dh down from today cd11 -15

MrsNuckyT · 16/02/2016 12:56

Hello ladies - don't think I've put my stats on this bus yet, but just getting ready to do so! AF due basically today and not holding out much hope - was away for a few days and probably missed the best window. Also - for the first time in 5 months I didn't get a 'peak' reading at all. I actually think it might just have been short - I was sure that I saw a feint second line on one of my 'high' days. Only managed to DTD twice. So it seems very unlikely!!

Shemozzle · 16/02/2016 13:13

baby I used to be into all kinds of alternative health things, until one of my girls got really ill and I became skeptical and lost the faith...thankfully! But I'm still angry with all the money we were duped out of alternative health practitioners who make their business by telling everyone how big pharma is only after a profit. In my experience they are worse. One week we barely had enough money for food because I'd spent every penny on homeopathy for my daughter. This homeopath had a huge cottage in a lovely town we dream of living in, happily letting me clear out my bank account desperately trying to get my daughter well. I'd had enough then. Don't let them do the same to you. You can do something that relaxes you for a lot less.
How dare they try to exort that money out of you in the name of your fertility.

Anyway, think I'm 10 dpo today. BFN on a FRER and cheapy . I think my 'implantation' cramps was actually a tummy bug too.

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 13:42

Sorry Shem but it just might be a little too early to test. Fx for your bfp in a few days.hope u feeling better.
Its amazing how some people want to live off of others down moments. It's a cruel world !!!
Hello mrsnucky

Kellz92 · 16/02/2016 13:43

Mimi how are you?! i have been thinking about you!

Im CD11 today and got a high on my monitor. DTD CD8,9, 11. Preseed arrived this morning so give that a go tomorrow :)

feeling more positive today. had a few dreams that im pregnant last few nights.

xxx

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 14:10

His kellz and thanks.
Glad u have managed to DTD often. Have been away the past few days and dh was too tired for bd.I'm hoping if I start dtd today cd11 I could have a chance.

fx the dreams will come true.1 of us got to have a bfp this month xx

Writerwannabe83 · 16/02/2016 14:26

I dreamt I was pregnant the day before I got my BFP. I think a lot of women report having pregnancy dreams in the lead up to their positive results.

Symptom spotting still going on here in that my boobs feel a bit tingly

Tryingtowait · 16/02/2016 15:53

Really feel for you writer I hate the tww. I'm cd 13 and just done a night shift so a bit grumpy! Ff is telling me I possibly o'ed on cd 9 but I think that's unlikely as I had been having 29 day cycles? Guess time will tell. This is my first month temping and I'm finding my temps all over the place taking it orally so may try vaginally next cycle. Dtd every other day feels like a chore ATM. (Sorry having a grumbly day)

shem might still be a bit early to tell, I know it's hard to wait though

babyinthacorner · 16/02/2016 16:05

Just been for a scan to look at a possible ovarian cyst. Good news is there's nothing there, bad news is I had to wait with all the excited pg ladies and their partners going in for scans. Just want to cry. Plus had my mum and sister going on about me having another baby again at lunch.

cockermum85 · 16/02/2016 19:22

Oh baby, I'm sorry to hear that. That rubbish. I presume you've not told your family. I hope you've treated yourself to something yummy for dinner - always makes me feel a little better.

Kellz92 · 16/02/2016 19:45

Mimi I'm shattered really can't be bothered to bd but trying to put effort in lol. We are both due to get a bfp!!

Writer I did with DD so I'm hoping it's a good sign. Not counting on it though lol.

Baby I'm glad the scan went well but not glad you had to sit with all the pregnant couples, will be your turn soon

queenoftheworld93 · 16/02/2016 20:11

Hello again, I have been on every ttc bus since October but this month DP and I decided to stop ttc.

However... Just got this. Thoughts?

Writerwannabe83 · 16/02/2016 20:17

Faint.....but definitely there!!!

Eek!!!

Tryingtowait · 16/02/2016 20:25

Sorry to hear that baby your time will come too.

queen definitely a line how many dpo are you? Congrats

queenoftheworld93 · 16/02/2016 20:32

I think I'm 11dpo but we haven't tracked at all this cycle! Temp and pulse are through the roof. Doing a digital in an hour or so.

babyinthacorner · 16/02/2016 21:33

Thanks all, ignore me I'm just being miserable. Need to snap out of it. Just seen that meningitis post doing the rounds on FB about that poor little girl that died so had a good old sob and eaten a crunchie.

And queen's news is enough to cheer anyone up - amazing amazing amazing!

Tryingtowait · 16/02/2016 21:55

It's ok baby we all have days like that. My dp cousin is 6 days past her due date driving herself mad wanting baby to come, which although it must be uncomfortable I get a bit sad people complaining that they're full term when I would have done anything to go to full term with my ds. My sister is having a c section next Monday so it's all baby baby baby on the brain right now. Trying to distract myself but it's not happening.

queen 11dpo is going to make me want to test earlier which is bad! Makes you think though the minute you stop trying you conceive. I wonder if the stress of ttc is why we don't especially as ds was a nice surprise.

Getting what I think are ov pains today so think I may possibly o today even though ff Is telling me I may have o'ed cd9 hate to say it but guess I have to wait and see

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 16/02/2016 22:38

queen how exciting!!! Live POAS update please
