Hi girls.
10 dpo today and symptoms so far are peeing a lot but I don't know if that's considered too early. I feel so sick and getting mild cramps, sore boobs. I also feel so warm all the time but this could be AF as I'm due AF on the 9th. So tempted to take a test so someone please stop me 😂

Good luck to everyone!
Have any of you been waiting to TTC for a while? I've always known I've wanted children but wanted to wait until DH and I had bought at house and gotten settled in our jobs etc. Feels like a long time coming.

@LuckyKitty13 Me! I've been so broody for 15 years, found a nice man, he was out of a job for a few years. Then last year he was OK for us to start trying after we planned a big holiday for this year. Now we're on 3rd month and it's so much harder than I thought it would be :(

Thank you! Stay strong @AmyLouise94! (Until you don't want to any more Wink)

I've been ready since my ex husband (BH?) told me he wanted a baby 10 years ago. (He then had one with someone else... a mercy in hindsight.)

DH wanted to travel first. So we've spent the last few of years doing that on and off. Got back 6 months ago, but we'd been to a lot of places with Zika, so we had to wait. So frustrating!

Wow @ChaosMoon and @CookieWaffle I've only been waiting 4 years - 10 and 15 years is unimaginable. Really hoping it happens quickly for you.

CookieWaffle · 04/06/2018 22:26

Thank you @LuckyKitty13! I made the stupid mistake of setting myself birthday deadlines and I've missed each one. I had 2 things i desperately wanted, and now i have the 1 (the lovely man) so I'm so grateful for that, I just really want the other.... If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, I'm just glad I have the other half to keep me sane!

@CookieWaffle a good man is a rare thing, hold onto him! I'm sure the other will happen - plenty of time yet

Good luck @Delilah7! xx

Thanks @LuckyKitty13, I'm 40 so I know the odds are stacked against me. Still I know plenty who had kids at my age!

@Delilah7
I'm feeling okay, it's only cycle one so I've got ages to test. Probably won't until I miss a period (if I get one as I've been in the pill). It is very exciting, and I'm trying to keep a hold of myself. I really want to research prams and baby stuff but not letting myself!

@LuckyKitty13 I'm very much obsessed already 😂it's hard because coming off the pill symptoms can be so similar to Pregnancy which is why I'm so confused 😂

Good luck and baby dust @Delilah7! I hope you're not waiting too long for the results.

@CookieWaffle, I had a friend who thought she couldn't conceive and then did at 42. You still have time.

@Ladybug82 thank you. Are you ok xx

@Delilah7, I am thanks. The first week of the 2ww was horrible but talking to you guys had made me feel so much calmer and happier. I feel much more able to go with the flow, long may that last! Most symptoms have actually vanished, although that includes AF symptoms, which is odd. I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow morning! I hope the nerves aren't too bad. Not long now. Xxx

CookieWaffle · 05/06/2018 09:00

Thanks @ChaosMoon that's reassuring xx

How did it go today @Delilah7?
I hope everyone's ok.

LuckyKitty13 · 05/06/2018 20:22

Thinking of you @Delilah7 hope it went okay today.

How's everyone else doing this evening?
Can I ask about how people's partners are handling this all? My DH is a bit disinterested, but he is a quiet man anyway - normal?
