TTC first baby! Continued...

New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

@validuser very true. Can you think of any reason you may have ov'd late? Stress / exercise etc? Cycles may just vary for no reason, but if it's unusual for you... I have a feeling it could be your month! I can tell you're trying not to get your hopes up but sod it, you're 3 days late!

I'm hoping implantation happens sooner than 10dpo in my cycle as I think my luteal phase is only 9 days!

@cupcakesandglitter thank you! We will definitely fill it with crap until babies come haha. I feel like everything in my life is moving in the right direction, a child would just make it perfect now. It's hard not to worry - what if it never happens, what if like my sister I have 3 failed IVFs and never have kids? Or what if he has impotent sperm? What if we are moving for no reason at all? Are we tempting fate?
I hate being a woman sometimes - far too much worrying! I'm even worried the stress of moving will make me not conceive!

Does anyone else have crazy thoughts like this?

@Crossfitgirl ALL. THE. TIME. It's too stressful being a woman!! The men are just like 'meh' 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Crossfitgirl hi Hun. Me and OH did this and we have a 4 bedroom with just us in. It's nice knowing we don't have to worry about moving again for a long time. Go for it Hun! Also never had sickness before. Had nausea. If I'm honest I think I'm just under the weather and clutching at straws!

@Angliski thank you xx

@FlapJackered I'm sorry you were having a down day, hope you're feeling better today! Enjoy the last few days of your holiday and try not to think about it!

@Crossfitgirl *visualising implantation
I really hope so, but I have no idea if it is/was. Currently 9DPO. I'm gonna say AF is due on Tuesday based on when I think I ovulated so if it's a no show then I'll test Wednesday. If AF does arrive, that will make this a 35 day cycle (currently on CD 31).
That's great news about the house! It would be so nice to own our own house but we're renting for now :)

@ValidUser any news today?

@Delilah7 how are you feeling? Any better?

@purplestar9 a little. Back at work but don't think I should be. But ah well. My tummy's still uncomfortable so just makes me think it's prolonged AF coming. X

Acht sorry for having a moan last night, feeling much better and trying to put it in perspective that we are quite happy as we are and while a baby would be amazing, we don't need it to be happy.

@Crossfitgirl - my sister has just done exactly the same thing, buying a family home before they start ivf. I think it's good as it is positive thinking and as a pp said I am sure in the meantime you will find things to put in those rooms!

@Delilah7 I hope you're feeling better today?

@ValidUser that must be so frustrating! Fingers crossed it is a good sign though. 🤞🏻

@FlapJackered we are all allowed a moan hun.
I'm ok still feel abit sick and tummy's uncomfortable but I'm sure it's just my AF coming x

@Delilah7 have you done a test to check? Keep wondering how you're getting on x

Still no AF and no positive test! Maybe supplements lengthened my luteal phase? Frustrating, but could bode well for next month.

@sunshine1987 I did one yesterday evening as I couldn't wait but BFN. So I'm convinced I'll be on soon x

@validuser how strange. What are you taking? I think B6 is meant to help with LP. I've just started taking boots own conception support, only since the start of this cycle though. Not sure if they need a while to build up?

Thanks @delilah7 and @flapjackered I'm a bit more excited now! Just one of those things- we are only moving for more space for kids, but not actually having any yet does make TTC so much more real. We've talked about where we will put the nursery etc, where I can go for walks with the pram... so optimistic!

@purplestar9 it sounds like it would have been good timing for implantation, are gour cycles usually that long? any other symptoms?

@Crossfitgirl we are the same so don't worry girl!

It would of been my midwife appointment tomorrow and 8 weeks :(

@Crossfitgirl since I've come off the pill I've had cycles 34 days, 33 days and I think this one will be 35 days if I calculated ovulation correctly. So yeah normal for me apparently. Nope, no other symptoms that I can notice except very faint cramping yesterday morning for an hour or so. But nothing since!

Sorry if you've said but where are you in your cycle?

@Crossfitgirl pregnacare conception.

I've heard of some people having odd cycles with them, but other than being late it has been fine!

@ValidUser I'm using those as well and have been for the past 2 and a half months (knowing I was going to stop the pill sooner rather than later).

I've been getting aches and cramping in my abdomen and side for the last couple of days... thankfully it's settled a bit at the moment. I'm also thirsty all the time! Visiting the toilet far too often, but that's because I'm drinking lots... 😕 I'm not sure what to think! Haha

Fed up of this Cm in knickers and watery shit though!!

@Delilah7 I still don't think you're out lovely. I honestly don't x

@sunshine1987 really? Xxx

@ValidUser my cycles have been between 29 and 40 days long since coming off the pill, they were getting gradually shorter and then my last one went back up to 35 days! I have no idea why 😭 It's really frustrating, particularly the time between AF and negative test. I'm hoping she's early again this month so I don't have to do a negative test!
@FlapJackered im so sorry that pure feeling down lovely, it's so hard isn't it? I'm fairly sure it wasn't my cycle this time as I'm getting PMS symptoms as usual, nothing feels different and I can't be bothered to do it again! All I can say is don't give up, try and believe it will happen I've been trying pre pregnancy mindfulness like @Crossfitgirl suggested and it's actually been really helpful
. @Crossfitgirl I've just done the same thing and moved into a bigger house. Seeing the empty rooms does depress me but I'm in the process of turning one into a walk in wardrobe, painted light pink, to make me feel happy!

@Delilah7 yeah every time you post I think it sounds like you are pregnant x

@sunshine1987 probably just AF though! Xx

Catch up time! How is everyone?
I'm currently on CD31, 9DPO. 5 days till AF is due.
I've had very slight cramps (barely noticeable) but nothing else.

So I'm out. Just been to the loo (first time in hours) and I had brown discharge which was odd. Wiped and there's blood so I think it's AF. Got massive painful cramping. Can't stop crying :(

@cupcakesandglitter I'm sorry Hun if it is AF. :( I'll see you on the next cycle I'm sure!

So sorry @cupcakesandglitter keep your chin up xx
