TTC JANUARY 2019

[KernowBee]

Welcome to all of you who join or are reading and hoping too.

Kicking things off positively. A new year means a fresh start. For everyone on their TTC journey, be it the first month you're trying, or 3+ years. It's so hard not to let those BFN's wear on you after time. Share your stories, frustrations, questions, tips and advice.

Let's start 2019's TTC journey together.

Baby dust to you all.
We've got this.

@hodgeheg92 that's the one I'm on. I'll hang on in there. It feels like some people are much, much further along.
I'll find it annoying if this one's late too and everyone is showing off their newborn

Congratulations @cosycashmere!

And glad you got your answers @Outwards
How is your DP taking it?

I'm only 5dpo and I've said I won't test unless af is 4 days late (my cycle varies lots). Which seems such a long way away that there doesn't even seem to be much point thinking about it!

@naughtysausage ah we are at exactly the same point. Although because I had been on the pill for so long I am not sure exactly what my cycle is like normally. However I did get a positive OPK when I had predicted.

Actually that's rubbish I'm on another one with the same name in the pregnancy section. Will come on your thread...

Hi!! Can I please join this thread!!

I've just finished AF! This was my first af since conceiving my 4th. I'm still breastfeeding my 4th too but it's only a bedtime thing now. So no idea on what my cycle lengths will be but I'm usually around 30 days! So hopefully will be ovulating around the 24th!!

I'm tempted to buy some clear blue ovulation tests as I got pregnant first try using them when ttc #4!

Baby dust to all your lovely ladies!! X

Crikey @HMIB you don't mess about! I thought I was nuts going for a third 😂. Mind you, hubby is one of 7 (siblings, not husbands 😳) and his mum just said she loved children so much! I just can't imagine battling with 7 people to brush their teeth in the morning 🙈

@Peaky1 well this will be our last. We've got a 7 seater car and I can't make DH downgrade to a mini van 😂😂. And we also have 4 boys. So would like the thought of having a girl. But I'm almost certain that when we do have number 5 it'll be a boy. We've already got boys names picked out 😳😂. Think I would panic if I ended up having a girl!! Xx

Haha! Hubby has 5 brothers and a sister. Everyone assumed she was trying for a girl as the sister is the youngest but they really weren't. His mum told the hospital that they must have been mistaken on a scan because she doesn't know how to make girls. Still didn't believe them until she was born 😆

@Blueowlstar ooooh when do you think you'll test? I'm holding out till a week on Saturday if AF doesn't come first. I don't feel lucky this month though. Am just not going to have any tests in the house until I actually want to use them.

@Naughtysausage well I’m going on the basis of a 28 week cycle so would be due AF around 23rd so I think if it hasn’t made an appearance by then, I will test a week Friday, if I can hold out long enough. I’m due to go out on the sat for a friends bday, spa and then dinner and drinks so I’ll need to plan. How long have you been trying?

@Blueowlstar it's my first month trying for number 2.

And I'm impressed with trying for baby 5. I think I'm slightly daft for trying for #2! @HMIB

Also @Blueowlstar your Saturday plans sound like either a great distraction or secret celebration! I'm out for a lovely dinner Friday night so I'm going to distract myself with that.

@Naughtysausage ha! I think I'm totally crazy for wanting number 5! Me and DH are so out numbered already what's one more eh? 😂

This Is also my first month trying! I'm one of the late ones though as I don't ovulate until the 24th! X

@naughtysausage that’s a great way to look at I am so impatient though and really just want to know one way or the other!

I am now 6dpo and getting a heavy feeling in my uterus area, does anyone else have the same? Also boobs are slightly painful every now and again, nipples still very painful. Am I just reading too much into these signs?

Hi can I join this group! Currently in cycle 4 of TTC after an early miscarriage in October last year. I have an 18 month old so we are trying for baby number 2. So frustrating as I have never had trouble conceiving, I get pregnant really quick and so being 4 cycles in is really taking its toll on me. I’m currently on CD18 and have been using OPK’s this month. I had a positive on CD14 and have been DTD everyday from cycle day 8 onwards, every other before then! Due my period on 27th jan and really going to try and resist testing until 12dpo atleast! Don’t think I can bare another bfn 😩 x

Hi! Thought id join! TTC #1 with my OH - came off pill in September, no periods or positive OPK's since. Currently on provera to see if that induces anything, fed up of waiting for AF to arrive so i can have an idea of what my body is doing! Wish we were told this when going on it - 15 years on Microgynon 30. Have also only told my sister, no one else knows we are TTC. So its nice to have you ladies to talk to! Baby dust to you all :)

Welcome @Tiddley25 and @Nay08 :)

It’s so nice to have people to talk to as my husband and I haven’t told anyone that we are TTC.

I am sorry to hear about your miscarriage @tiddley25 but lovely to hear you are trying again. Hopefully this cycle will be the one for you.

@nay08 I too was on microgynon for 15 years although I came off when I fell pregnant on it with my now 6 year old and once he was born went back on it. Came off 23rd Dec to TTC and I have no idea what my cycles will be like but I got a positive OPK on 9th Jan and pain in my left ovary so assumed that I did ovulate. Now it’s just the wait! I did read that it can take a few months For your periods to return to normal after being on the pill so hopefully that will be what is happening with you.

@blueowlstar thanks for your reply 😊 I know it’s so lovely to have people in the same boat to be able to talk to about it all! We didn’t tell anyone we were TTC with my miscarriage but a lot of our close friends and family knew we were pregnant so now kind of expect me to be pregnant soon which is putting extra pressure on me. I’m so impatient I have 10 days until period is due and it feels like a lifetime! When are you going to test? X

@tiddley25 I am taking a stab in the dark that I would be due on around next Wednesday/Thursday! So I’m about 7 days away from AF. I actually did a test this morning, I didn’t expect anything to show yet but I’ve seen a few posts where people tested early and they had faint lines. Needless to say there was nothing on mine. I’ve just bought a first response so will aim to test on Sunday morning when I’ll
Be 11dpo. How about you?

@blueowlstar don’t be disheartened by a negetive like you said it’s early days yet so probably wouldn’t show 👍🏻 I’ve been buying Asda tests as they are extra sensitive but much cheaper and can test from 4 days before missed period but I’m trying to hold out until next Friday when I will be 12dpo. But I’m a POAS aholic!! So will be hard to hold out!

Please let us know how it goes next week really hope you get your BFP xx

@tiddley25 ah thank you so much! I will have all my fx for you too! There has been a few people by the looks of it with BFP on this thread so let’s hope it’s a lucky thread. Will keep you updated. It is so nice to know we are all going through the same thing. I think I would be going mad otherwise x

Ahh I'm getting really inpatient waiting for ovulation. Should be any day now! It's my first cycle since having my DS (he's 15 months) so I'm not too sure on cycle length.

What CD Is every one on and when are you going to test?! 😊.

@hmib I’m on cycle day 20 and 5dpo. I’m with you there!!! So bloody Impatient. Everyday feels like a lifetime doesn’t it 😂 well I have no symptoms yet I know some people get it this early on but nothing yet but all I remember from my last pregnancy was being really bloated by the time I tested positive! I’m going to test at 12dpo if I can hold out 😂👍🏻 How about you? X

@Tiddley25 well I'm using the ovulation test strips daily and they've started to get darker. I'm on cd14 so it really should be any day now!! I always say I'll hold out 2 weeks to test but never last and test 9dpo 😂. But 2 times they've been positive by then! So we'll see!!

It really does feel like each day Is dragging though! Desperately trying to keep myself occupied! X

@hmib I'm on cd19, 7dpo. I'm planning to test on 10dpo as I've seen on Fertility Friend that most people got theirs as early as that. Fingers crossed!!

Love the idea that this could be a lucky thread!
