Just finishing af so we'll see! TTC baby number 3, anyone else #3? Smile

EmmyOlly · 21/07/2017 17:21

@LovePinaColada I honestly believe Maca Root was the reason I got pregnant so quickly with my second baby, it really helped with my hormones and regularity of af x

FrowningFlamingo · 21/07/2017 17:39

Oh gosh I'm late to the bus...
TTC #1 cycle 3.
Having a break until Christmas if this isn't our cycle so fingers tightly crossed... OV tomorrow according to Clue and lots of EWCM today so here's hoping!

boowaitingforbaby · 21/07/2017 17:46

Hi! Can I jump on the bus?
Made a separate post about this but someone here might be able to help me!

This is probably symptom spotting to the nth degree, however, I'm 5/6 dpo (dtd days 13, 14, 16 & 17 of my cycle) and am feeling "full". I can't describe it any other way apart from a full feeling in my uterus!
No cramping or anything like that, just weird!! AF not due for 11 days, so am I crazy and obsessed or has anyone else experienced this or anything??
Been pregnant once before 3 years agohowever mc at 10 weeks and it was a surprise and only tested because of sore boobies and can't remember other symptoms (apart from horrendous sickness which meant I was hospitalised!!)

pixieinlove · 21/07/2017 18:37

@EmmyOlly how much Maca Root did you take daily. I'm taking a teaspoon of the Powder in the morning. And I'm also trying for number 3. Big age gap as my DS is 12 and DD IS 10. What are the ages of your DC?

MeadowDream · 21/07/2017 19:41

I'm out! AF arrived today. Here's to cycle 2 Wine
BFP due 20th August!!
At least I have ben & jerrys Grin

HolyShmoly · 21/07/2017 20:27

Ah crap Meadow. Here's to next month. And enjoying the naughty things now!

Thanks Jane. It just seems like I should know something by now, This waiting around is a killer!

LovePinaColada · 21/07/2017 21:16

Sorry to hear that @MeadowDream! Sending lots of love. Xx

LovePinaColada · 21/07/2017 21:17

Thanks @EmmyOlly - off to research Macca Root now, thanks! ☺️

pixieinlove · 21/07/2017 21:20

Sorry to hear that @MeadowDream sending lots of hugs!! X

MeadowDream · 21/07/2017 21:31

Thanks guys Smile
I'm ok. Just eager for next month now.
Good luck everyone!

Janefx40 · 21/07/2017 21:35

@pixieinlove get to it! Your egg hangs around for a bit so you may still be fertile! Plus sperm live a few days so there may be some hanging about from earlier days.

@MeadowDream sorry about AF but glad you have wine and a positive mental attitude. I usually feel better once AF actually arrives too. It's the lead up that's such a killer

MeadowDream · 21/07/2017 21:41

janefx yeah I agree the wait was horrible! It was only our first month of trying and only started a few days before expected ovulation so trying not to overthink it really. It's hard though because I want it to happen so much!
But I have wine and treats and loads of cuddles so all good really Smile

juneybean · 22/07/2017 00:29

pixie usually the positive is 24-48 hrs before the egg pops anyways so definitely still time if your positive was last night

pixieinlove · 22/07/2017 15:16

Thanks @juneybean we DTD last night. Will try do it for the next couple of days too #fingercrossed.

Baby dust to you all x

LovePinaColada · 22/07/2017 19:43

Hi girls!

I am now officially in my TWW - let the crazy symptom spotting commence!

I am still continuing to DTD as don't want to rely on my apps completely but fingers crossed for my BFP around the 5th August! 🤞

How is everyone getting on? Any symptom spotting going on? I know (deep down) that any real pregnancy symptoms don't begin til you're a few weeks in, but I still can't help myself! 🙈

Good luck to all POAS soon! 🤞

juneybean · 22/07/2017 20:56

I'm 1dpo! Are we the same love?

LovePinaColada · 22/07/2017 21:00

Yes @juney! 😍 My cycle is 35 days though - think yours is shorter? Fingers crossed for us both - do you think you will test earlier than AF due date?

pixieinlove · 22/07/2017 21:19

Think I must also be TWW with you girls... due to POAS on the 3rd but as I'm usually 2 days late might see if I can hold off till the 5th Grin

juneybean · 22/07/2017 22:10

love I'm usually the one clutching a stark white negative at 9dpo saying it's all over! Of course I'll be testing way before AF is due!

4th August is when AF is due I think!

Ahh welcome to the wait pixie haha

Melodypond17 · 22/07/2017 22:17

3dpo here - really don't feel hopeful though even though it's so early on :(

LovePinaColada · 22/07/2017 22:19

Hehe! That is SO me @juney! I am considering buying some internet cheapies for when the urge strikes (always!) but I know it's ridiculous! Don't know what ones to buy though?

Why aren't you feeling hopeful @Melody?

LovePinaColada · 22/07/2017 22:22

Also - does anyone love looking at the "Is this a line" threads? I just love seeing those BFP's & seeing everyone so happy! 😍

Melodypond17 · 22/07/2017 23:18

@LovePinaColada so much stress going on in my life right now I don't see how I can get what I really want :(

It's been 6 months now and I'm now 43. Previously when I was 21 and 23 I fell pregnant within 3 months and now dh and I are going though tests for secondary infertility... x

Janefx40 · 23/07/2017 07:59

Hi @Melodypond17 I totally understand feeling disheartened about it - it is tricky being older (I am too) - my age is a constant worry - I've got to a point where I either think I'm pregnant (2WW) or that it's impossible - there's nothing in between for me! 6 months tho isn't really that long - as you know for those under35s they don't even do tests until a year. The reality is you just don't know until you do those tests. We've done most of ours now. Fingers crossed for good results for you x
