Hope you're okay  @Rainbowsockstoday Flowers

Moo31 · 07/03/2017 22:23

Jeepers that's confusing @bella - I'm glad you got the answer you were looking for as I was about to try and Google it for you since I only use ICs so i don't know how the cb ones work.

@Salem fx it's not af and hope your dh appointment goes well tomorrow

@rainbow we're all allowed to cry kick and scream at some point on this ttc journey but tomorrow is another day and that means you are 1 day closer to your bfp so tomorrow pick yourself up and jump back on the pma bus!!!

@helly you should only drink it between cd1 and ov so I guess it doesn't matter (unless you're cutting out caffeine while ttc) although I would assume it's caffeine free anyway as I think most herbal / fruit teas are :)

Rainbowsockstoday · 08/03/2017 00:21

I'm struggling with a routine change for a toddler and I'm telling him the truth that it hurts me more than him! My ttc mindset is ok except at this moment in time I'm happy with only one!

rose I know what you mean about a Xmas baby I used to think the same .... but now I just want it to happen, so I'll accept any month 😜

dolly sorry to hear you've been sick - I've been told by my nutritionist that morning sickness is caused by drop in blood sugar so the lack of food could explain it xxx

A Christmas baby isn't too bad. My lb was due Christmas Eve and that was fine. He actually came as a new year baby. My friend had hers Christmas Day. We have a separate birthday on the 22nd march for our lb. x

Hippychic79 · 08/03/2017 07:20

sarahb I'm sure your dh has relieved himself ... or is this another myth we've been lead to believe 😂

bella my opks did the same as yours ... do not stress .... says the nutter who poas x7 in one day

Morning ladies! :) Happy hump day - especially to those in fw!! ;) xo

BellaMoon · 08/03/2017 07:37

thanks @Hippychic79 & @Moo31 - were always second guessing tests, online research etc. have woken this morn with v tender bazongas so i feel my egg (or the holy grail as my DH calls it) is on her merry way!

i'm still surprised at how much i'm TTC... i came aboard this bus with the "if it happens it happens" attitude... now i'm like "goddammit work ffs" attitude, have seen a major change in myself, all for the better i add.

also, i couldn't care less when my future baby is born. i'm a new year bday but it's done me no harm (in actual fact it adds to the celebrations) xx

BellaMoon · 08/03/2017 07:40

@Charley2016 how are you chic? i'm hoping that BFN turning into a BFP and you'd just tested too early?? #BFPduedate

xx

Charley2016 · 08/03/2017 07:58

Morning ladies, hope you all have a happy hump day! Me and dh are both new year babies (only one day in the middle) and always joking we would end up having a little one on that day. I also thought I didn't want a new year baby but now i just want one any day haha!!

Bella it's amazing how quickly it all consumes you isn't it? I think us woman are used to going and getting what we want!

Hippy more than half way through for you!! Be here before you know it!

Rainbow sorry you're having a hard time. Hope you get a good rest and the routine falls on to place soon.

Salem how are you today? Hope your spotting has stopped!
*
Moo* love your golf baby grow! And I totally love Eileen for the Egg haha.

Well I made it to CD28 for the first time in a while. However I always always come on two weeks to the day of my positive OPK so definitely due today I think. Boobs still really sore and blue but had some twinges in my back this morning which is normally a sign of her coming!

notparticularlypatient · 08/03/2017 08:02

Good morning you busy ttc people! Wow, things happen quick on this thread! Fx for those of you waiting for your bfp the coming days. But let us also again remind each other that even if it takes time, it does not mean that anything is wrong! More than 80 percent will be pregnant within the first year of trying, and even if it takes longer, 50 percent of those not pregnant within a year will be during the second year. So while I totally share the impatience (eh, re my user name) I also think it's important to not stress about it too early. But it's very much allowed to be sad and angry if af turns up obviously.

On a less pma note: my cbfm (clearblue fertility monitor) showed high fertility this morning. This most likely imply that I'll ov during the weekend. When dp is away, argh!

Hippychic79 · 08/03/2017 08:15

magpie it is hard to keep up the PMA on a daily basis I think we all struggle with it from time to time. I've had a fair few baby bombs recently too which are getting increasingly harder to smile at .... don't get me wrong .... I wouldn't wish this month to month tTC lark on anyone but its when people say 'oh we weren't even trying' ... how does this work!!??? Xxx

Hippychic79 · 08/03/2017 08:22

patient thank you for the reality check and the well researched stats. You're right - we need to be kind to ourselves throughout this tTC journey and accept that it may take a wee while .... I think we're all so used to living in an instant society that we forget not everything happens overnight.

Sorry to hear dp is away at wkend - I would say dtd before he goes and when he gets back and you should be covered? Assuming he's only going for the wk end

I'm a bit all over the place this morning and don't have time to reply to everyone as I usually try to do as I've got a busy day today.

Quick update from me - 9dpo and successfully resisting the urge to poas
Yaaaaaaaaaay
Have a lovely day ladies xxxx

Moo31 · 08/03/2017 08:40

@Charley - I have everything crossed for you that she doesn't show today!

@Hippy - well done proud of you for resisting! Hopefully your bust day will keep your mind occupied!

@patient - I share your frustration as I was away over my ov but we dtd when I came home on Sunday night and managed to catch it so don't loose hope :)

@bella - it's exactly what Charley says - we are used to getting what we want when we want it and something that is out of our control is so hard to accept!

Have a lovely day all :) xo

*bust busy!

ArchiesMamaBird · 08/03/2017 08:47

11dpo here and a BFN on a FRER this morning Sad

Permission to throw in the towel please ladies? Ok there's a chance I'm being slightly overdramatic (especially after seeing your post above patient) but after 10 BLOODY MONTHS, I'm really struggling with the PMA.

(I'll be fine once AF has been and then buggered off again) but it's so emotionally draining getting your hopes up every month to then have them shattered again when AF rears her ugly head. I don't know how many more months I can do this for Sad

ArchiesMamaBird · 08/03/2017 08:55

And I couldn't even get my hashtag right!

CakesALot · 08/03/2017 08:56

archies it's so heartbreaking each month isn't it. I'll say the usual and that you're not out yet but I know that doesn't quite console. Be kind to yourself though and try to take it easy. Stress never helps anything!

rainbow hope you're ok hun?? These toddlers are trying for sure!! I was stuck indoors with mine all day on monday. I love her dearly of course but she is my shadow at the moment. I just want to pee in peace!!!

My cheeky night away in Edinburgh has been lush. Got taken out for dinner and drinks last night. Was so nice to act like a normal human being and not a knocker watching, poas-ing, TTC obsessive!! I ate what I liked and had a few drinks guilt free. Lovely. I can highly recommend escaping TTC for an evening and just getting back to being you!

bella we're sinking!! I'm defo oving so I'm counting today as d day. Tomorrow 1dpo. Need to get back to DH tonight for that bonus bonk 😂😂 and maybe another on Friday for luck! He's been so good this month at just letting it happen and not complaining too bloody right he should be feeling fecking lucky

I'm feeling very zen today ladies, I hope I can spread some your way. Love to you all xxx

Rainbowsockstoday · 08/03/2017 09:08

Morning ladies. Hope you're all doing well. After an emotional night with DC I am trying to make today positive especially for him. He needs to know I love him 😆

You know I said yesterday about af being only two days? Well I was thinking it might come back as I had a teeny bit of spotting this morning but barely touched the CSP and was kore when I was checking my CP. usually I'm on for 8-10 days so I'm wondering what's different. Also do you think to can get back to DTD now? Now af has stopped I'm all ewcm and bbt is on the rise which sorta means ov right?

notparticularlypatient · 08/03/2017 09:16

Archie's, you have all rights to be frustrated. It is so disheartening when it takes time. Hope it happens soon for you.

Moo, thanks for that! I will follow hippys advise and dtd a lot before and after dps trip.

And Hippy, I'm totally with you on the oops-babybombs. What's up with We weren't even trying? A couple of my normally very nice and thoughtful friends have made a point of that they conceived first time trying. As if it was a competition! Not helpful.

Cakes, a big YES to a ttc break and feeling like a normal person again.

mrsbarnettsbaby · 08/03/2017 09:51

Well after talking to my running buddies it would appear my af would only stop due to exercise if my body fat was below 10%, which it is not! They said my af could have stopped due to either stress or menopause. Either way it's not looking good for TTC. Cd85 today. FX for everyone else.

AmandaP86x · 08/03/2017 10:11

Hi ladies sorry trying to keep up.

I am on CD29. Feel crampy but nothing to show yet. Another 5 days until AF according to app but after that BFN yesterday I had a meltdown. Spoke to DH and he's like just relax enjoy the life we have the now once we have a baby everything changes and that's fine but we r having a good life the now like try and enjoy it and if it happens it happens. Like a part of me was like 😡😠😡 but then I though yeh ur right it happened easily enough second time (albeit 6 months after I came off pill) but still never tried as such (so yes I was one of they annoying people ☹️🙈🙈🙈)

Girl in my work preg too! See babies everywhere now think your just heightenend to it though.

Hope you all have a lovely Wednesday.

AmandaP86x · 08/03/2017 10:23

Having a look back on my app I put a positive OPK for cycle day 19 in January and Feb. So maybe that's the day I am ovulating then 😂 I'll defo test properly this month so I know. So that would make me 10 dpo x
