New thread ladies! @PastaSauceHoarder @Goostacean @Barker26 @crazychemist @DoveGreylove @springsummerautumnwinter can't remember who else to tag.

I know @cupcakesandglitter has linked us to a new thread but I'm not sure I am strong enough to be surrounded by those TTC already!

@dotty if your partner went with you you need to wait 6 months. It's only 8 weeks for women.

@McHelenz it was just me, so thankfully not 6 months!

@McHelenz how are you?

Hi everyone 🙂. I’m going a bit crazy, because we’re only waiting for 2 more cycles I decided to get some OPKs to see whether the app’s estimated ovulation date is correct. Except I’m now at the end of my ‘fertile week’ and all I’ve had are negatives, meaning I’m now freaking out something’s wrong before we’ve even started Blush.

Need a grip to be handed over I think else I’ll never survive actually TTC!!

McHelenz · 29/11/2018 08:44

Oh you're lucky then. However I do think April will speed here post Xmas.

I'm ok! Had a blip where I convinced myself OH doesn't want kids (hes just not very vocal about things) but I think I'm being silly really. I'm just trying to relax about it!

@dottydally just popping my head in really quickly to say a huge congrats on the promotion!!! I remember you talking about it when I was still on this thread, so chuffed you got it! Well deserved I'm sure ☺️ xx

Pinkroseuk · 30/11/2018 06:40

Congrats on the promotion @dottydally :) hope everyone is getting on okay xx

TwittleBee · 30/11/2018 06:48

Morning, hope you don't mind be jumping aboard.

Found out yesterday I'm having a silent miscarriage so will need to wait for a while before we can start TTC. Just fricking sucks as took us 12 months to get to that BFP, was so excited and have so much baby stuff around me right now. Foolish to buy so early.

Anyway, I'll have a proper read through the thread later. Just want to say hi!

rollerskaterdata · 30/11/2018 16:00

@TwittleBee so sorry for your loss hun xxx

Tropicana1 · 06/12/2018 13:32

Hey all! How is everyone doing? Got all my Christmas decorations up, feeling very festive and planning to really enjoy all the christmas boozing as next one I will hopefully be preggers!
Congrats on the promotion @dottydally amazing news!! When are you starting to TTC again?
Welcome @TwittleBee really sorry to hear about your miscarriage :( must be such a hard time for you and your OH

@Tropicana1 @rollerskaterdata thank you! We are 7 weeks away now I think. I'm so excited and also enjoying a final boozy Christmas on the hope I will be happily pregnant by next year.

Also thinking about all the different occasions we could use to announce..

@TwittleBee ❤️

I've actually just realised that in the unlikely event I get pregnant on our first month of trying, I will have a baby before Christmas! I know it's unlikely but what a lovely thought.

May I join? Would be lovely to talk to people in a similar situation to myself.

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 21:04

Hey (: can I jump on this train too? Me and my OH are waiting until summer to try & the wait is just unbearable 😔

daydream86 · 09/12/2018 21:25

Hi there ladies would love to join your little waiting room, I’m 32 with a DD aged 2, weve finally made our minds up to TTC baby number 2, but waiting til may/june 2019 for hopefully a new year baby 2020 as we have tonnes of birthdays
in oct, nov and Dec and i don’t think I could cope with another Blush it’s hard to wait when you set your mind
on something you want so much!

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 21:43

It’s horrible waiting isn’t it? I’ve been ready for a while but OH hasn’t. Think he is scared tbh, we have both said we have always wanted children but me sooner than him in seems. I’m 24 and he is 25 so there is loads of time. It it doesn’t stop me being anymore impatient 😂

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 21:50

Hi Muffin! Exactly same as you! I'm so so ready after umming and awwing for quite q while, I'm 22 my OH is 31, he did say he wanted kids by 30 but has now got cold feet and said wait until January. It's been so hard trying not to obsess about it!

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 21:51

Thankfully I've just got past my last ovulation before january so I feel a bit closer to the goal now!

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 22:10

Hey!! At least your on the home straight now, and I hope it happens quickly for you! I’ve got a while to wait, but got to respect his wishes no matter how hard it is 🙈 I keep hinting and showing him videos and taking him to places with lots of children but he’s not changing his mind 👎 x

APositiveMind · 09/12/2018 22:22

Isn't it frustrating being on two different pages! If it's anything like this year next year will fly by and you'll be on the home straight too! Keep us updated Grin

Muffin9120 · 09/12/2018 22:24

Yes I will do & you! Hope it all happens quickly for you x

Tropicana1 · 09/12/2018 23:02

Hi to the new ladies! Welcome 😊
It's definitely nice having a thread to all chat in
@dottydally ah that would be so nice! We will miss the boat for a Christmas baby if my cycles stay at their current length. Only 3 more periods to go though until I get my coil out 😂

Muffin9120 · 10/12/2018 15:57

3 more cycles isn’t so bad, least is short enough to be counting down & will come in no time with Christmas and new year coming up x

Jelliestogether · 15/12/2018 10:27

Just thought I would come on here and share my good news, I will be leaving this group to join the other group. Whilst waiting we were being less careful, and today I got my BFP....app says 7 weeks so we shall be speaking to the doctors on Monday!! Good luck to you all, hopefully see you on the other group x

Muffin9120 · 15/12/2018 19:26

Congratulations x
