Newbie Intro!

[hanna87]

Hi ladies, just a quick intro.. i keep waiting and missing all the appropriate threads to post first time on!

Im hanna, age 30..from north london.

A bit of back ground- we are ttc #1, 2nd month of trying after being on microgynon for a few years.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Awwww so sorry @InfinityPlus

Hi ladies sorry been a bit awol and missed updates from this thread.

hanna I am so sorry to hear your sad news, what a horrible thing to happen. Hope you and oh can support each other.

My af turned up last month bang on time. Been doing lots more monitoring this month and am officially 1dpo today. We dtd nearly every day in fertile week so crossing my fingers and toes.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

Thanks @bigcakes. Better to know where I am and can start TTC this month if AF turns up!!

@WantToGoingTo hope this is your month

AF has arrived this morning for me, going to chart everything as really not sure what a "normal" cycle is for me.

Here's to a very fertile month for all the ladies TTC-ing

Ahhh infonity that's a bummer. I guess at least you know where you stand now.

Had a temp drop this morning trying not to read into it but hoping it isn't bad news and goes up again tomorrow. Breasts v sore and I'm exhausted but at 3dpo way too early to associate that with anything other than higher progesterone levels after ovulation. Argh hate the tww

Its so hard to know what is 'normal' or not isn't it?! I did a lot of charting and monitoring when I was trying to conceive my son so I'm trying to compare myself now and my current cycles to that but given that my son is nearly 5, I suppose it could be totally different now! I don't know whether to assume I'm working in the same way or start from scratch so to speak. Ive been using an app to chart things and I am pretty sure I ovulated this month and we tried to hit every day that week so fingers crossed. I'm determined not to do an early test and to try and wait but patience is not my strong point.....keeping busy....keeping busy......
Fingers crossed for you too @WhatToGoingTo

And everyone else too!

bigcakes I am exactly the same comparing to when I got pregnant at end of 2014! But could be so different now I have no clue! I didn't temp back then though but did use an app etc.

Argh I can think of nothing else it is so hard :(

I'm praying that Ive still got some life in the ovaries, at least a couple of years, but I'm worried that my age is against me now.
Oh how we like to torture ourselves with every possible scenario!

How are you all doing ladies?

I know isn't pregnancy related but

OH and I got engaged at the weekend

Congratulations infinity! Was it expected or a big surprise? How lovely :)

I am ok, 5dpo here trying not to symptom spot! (Ha who am I kidding). Temp still high so fingers crossed...

Hi all! Just joined Mumsnet so thought I'd introduce myself! I'm 36 and we've been trying since Jan with no luck so far although I did get my hopes up in Feb when I was 2 days late then AF came. Other than knowing how long my cycles are I'm not sure what I need to be doing/checking to get the best results so any tips are welcome!

Oh also I'm not familiar with all the lingo that is used on the forum but I've figured out AF means period!

Hi @snowflea I think my only word of advice is trying not to get too stressed and don't do early tests - it's confusing at best, upsetting at worst. Plenty of people on here to whinge to!!
Congratulations @InfinityPlus - awesome news!

Argh sorry @snowfee - trying to write on my phone which requires memory to remember spelling. Tired brain!

Good morning ladies! How are you all?
Sorry ive been mia this week (back to work and everything took over after two weeks off!).. but good to have some routine back.. not sure when AF due for me this month as the mc will have reset the body clock.. though we have dtd, but no major expectations for myself this month and will take things as they come...

Congratulations 🎉🎊!! To @InfinityPlus -that's fantastic news..really happy for you both...

How is everyone else getting on?? struggling to follow all the other threads! So asking on here... ..
Have a good extended weekend/Easter if celebrating (don't eat too much chocolate!) all xx

I took an early test yesterday and I bfn for me this month. I pretty much expected it for some reason even though we did everything possible this month. Pretty disheartening but onwards and upwards!

Hi Hannah, I'm Joanna. I'm TTC #1 - started trying in September 2016 then had a mc in February at 6 weeks. Waited a cycle then trying again now. Positive thoughts to you, and keep us updated!

Oh and p.s: It autocorrected Hanna to Hannah, sorry!

Thank you  and Welcome @Joeybee &@snowfee!

Yes positive thoughts -otherwise you drive your self mad! Cant wait for all our BFPs! And then it'd be good to find some mummy's near me for coffee! One step at a time though right?!

Aww @bigcakes You're not out till the fat lady shows up in our case! But stay positive and don't over think on things! Xx

@Joeybee don't worry about the spelling! Its no biggie

Well I said I wouldn't but the control freak in me just wont let it drop - Ive started with the temperature taking again. I do like a graph. I am rationalising it to myself that its a way or remaining 'in control'. Ha!

Hi ladies, so Ray I'm late to jump on here.
26 ttc #2 and this is our 2nd cycle.
Hoping you ladies can help me stay sane through this journey x

Hello @pocketfullofsunshine
I cant promise sanity however its really good to have a place to talk about things (smile)

Its one of those days....
