@MrsR16 I think I might finally have snapped. Hmm

MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 18:59

@ValidUser and what better ladies to share the crazy with? Haha! We'll all be there at some point - it's nice to know that the support will be there too 😂 xx

EssJayyCee · 15/10/2018 19:12

Thanks @MrsR16 Yeah it was a bit of a shock when he came out with his reasons but it makes complete sense. I was so ready for getting pregnant! At least in 5 months time my cycles should have completely normalised so I'll know what's going on!

FlapJackered · 15/10/2018 19:22

@gjchapman - Its so frustrating isn't it. It's so hard as it is without having the added opposition of a DH who isn't putting the effort in. As hard as it is I would just keep reminding him of the goal if he isn't making an effort. I had a proper cry in front of my DH a few weeks ago when he was yet again rejecting me during fw and I think it hit home a bit more. I think sometimes they just need repeatedly spelling it out for them.

@EssJayyCee oh no! I am sorry hun. I hope you're ok? Yes please stick around and we will be here when you start trying again.

@ValidUser i swear I can see a line on the first response on the white/pink background. Unless it's an indent. Give it a few days and test again. 🤞🏻

@MrsR16 - that's so sweet your DH wanted to know about it all!
Are you tracking your cycles at all? Temping/opks? It's tough when you don't know when to expect AF.

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 19:25

@FlapJackered I really, really hope so! ❤️

Delilah7 · 15/10/2018 19:46

@gjchapman love to you... ❤️

@EssJayyCee I'm glad you're both on the same page though. Keep on this thread or with the new one when it's made. We will miss you x x

@ValidUser keep hope and faith 😍 FX!

Feeling abit down tonight. Missing knowing I had a baby inside me. Me talking to it when it was hardly developed. 😔

@Delilah7 it's genuinely sad and of course you're grieving. X

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 19:58

And thank you for your optimism.

MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 20:02

@EssJayyCee it'll be so much easier when you know what to expect!

@FlapJackered I'm just doing the basic track of my cycle using Flo, but not temping or using OPKs. I'd get far too obsessed and that wouldn't be ideal for babymaking!

@Delilah7 oh sweetheart, you can't be expected to get over your loss very quickly! My poor mum had 7 MCs... I'm sure they all affected her just like this is affecting you xx

Delilah7 · 15/10/2018 20:07

@ValidUser just feel stupid. He or she wasn't even formed, and it was in August. Feel I should sort myself out. No need not to be positive atm darling x x

@MrsR16 just feel abit silly babe if I'm honest. :(. So sad about your mum x x

MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 20:25

@Delilah7 definitely do not feel silly!! It's perfectly natural! As far as I'm concerned, when we get pregnant, we have a little human inside us and when we lose that, we've lost a child. I don't care whether it was born or not or how far along it was, it's still your baby! You're allowed to feel like this - don't forget that xx

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 20:26

I second @MrsR16 - a developing baby is still your baby.

Delilah7 · 15/10/2018 20:37

@MrsR16 @ValidUser thank you guys. Just being abit silly I guess....
we haven't been trying much this month due to OHS chest infection so baby making has only happened once and that was last week!. Although I haven't had any EWCM or pains yet so hopefully I haven't missed ovulation. Although flo says I have. X

MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 20:42

@Delilah7 just think, when you do end up with that gorgeous bundle in your arms, you'll look back at this horrible time and think "every single moment was worth it"! Xx

Delilah7 · 15/10/2018 20:43

@MrsR16 I hope so. Just would like it to happen this year. 😔 guess it sounds abit desperate lol x x

OP posts:
MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 20:53

@Delilah7 don't forget hun, we're all here for the same reason! We're all desperate 😊

Delilah7 · 15/10/2018 20:56

@MrsR16 true that 😘

OP posts:
EssJayyCee · 15/10/2018 21:00

@flapjackered Yeah I am fine now. Although still a little heart broken.

Basically at the weekend we booked a holiday abroad for March. OH had been thinking about it all today and worried if I got pregnant now I wouldn't be able to fly come march or do all the things we want to do while we are away.
Also, he is currently paying off a debt which should be all paid off by next November in time for us to have a baby so that's almost £100 extra a month that could go on baby. And then finally, it's my sister's wedding next June.. so being heavily pregnant as a bridesmaid wouldn't be the greatest..

@Delilah7 I'll definitely stick around! But by the time I get around to TTC again you will all be baking your little buns so you'll all be in a new thread "Pregnant with baby number1" fingers crossed Grin

MrsR16 · 15/10/2018 21:15

@EssJayyCee you've gotta both be on the same page for babymaking to work well! 😊 you'll have a baby when the timing is right for you xx

stormtrooperjulian · 15/10/2018 21:18

What do people think about this opk..... +ve or not quite there yet?

@Delilah7 it’s not silly to be upset still, developed or not that was your baby

TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!
rj995 · 15/10/2018 21:33

@stormtrooperjulian looks positive to me Smile

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 21:45

@EssJayyCee you're always welcome here, even if you're postponing. X

rj995 · 15/10/2018 21:55

@ValidUser fingers crossed you get something more definitive in the next few days!!

@Delilah7 not silly at all, got to allow yourself to feel all these feelings in order to come to terms with it and move on, all your feelings are 100% validSmile

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 22:09
