Hi lovelies
Started actively trying this month so thought it would be nice if anyone wanted a journey buddy.
I’m 35, DH is 42.
Had 2 pregnancies in past (2002,2011) ending in MC
Married now for 9years so yeah looking to start a lil family.
Currently 2dpo and wait is already horrendous and symptom spotting is in place 😂
So tell me all about you and your journey 💋

Good morning ladies how are you all feeling today? X

Did a test this morning and BFN. Sad I’m okay though. I’d rather know!! Wishing everyone else luck this month and onwards and upwards for next month!

mass22 · 07/01/2019 14:01

Afternoon all. I'm still annoyed as period is heavy and horrible. Seeing babies and pregnant women everywhere and need to calm down.

@Lammoshay hope you do have positive news @CrossedToTheDarkSide sorry to hear! Could it be too early to test still?

@hopeful31 my DH doesn't know either. So glad I found this site. He thinks I'm overthinking it but it's much easier to say when it's not your body! He has been amazing but can't relate like you ladies can Smile

hopeful31 · 07/01/2019 15:00

I did a test this morning. Bfn. 😭 I'm still cramping. 2 of my friends r currently pregnant and told me that they got their cramps as normal so they didn't expect their bfp. So I'm hopeful yet.

I don't think anyone understands unless they r trying and having some difficulty. Everyone just says don't overthink it but it's impossible.

Back to work today after a good Christmas break so I'm hoping that it takes my mind off it all a little!

Good luck ladies and hoping someone has good news soon 😘

Lammoshay · 07/01/2019 15:24

Nothing to report here, don’t feel any different to usual :(
Been out shopping today to try and get out the house and occupy myself- bit of retail therapy is good 😝

Sorry about your bfns @CrossedToTheDarkSide @hopeful31 I have my fingers crossed that it's either too early and you're still in with a chance, or that next month is your month!

I'm CD20 and feel totally normal so not expecting anything. This is only month 1 and it's put me on edge a bit and taken up way more brain space than I'd like, I can see how it takes over people's lives once you've been trying a long time.

Lammoshay · 07/01/2019 22:03

Hi ladies
Hope you’re having a nice eve, I have not been off the toilet again tonight- after I ate I got cramps and stomach ache but nothing comes out when I’m on the loo (sorry if tmi).
And remember ladies who got a BFN it ain’t over till the witch comes! 💋

hopeful31 · 07/01/2019 22:17

@Lammoshay are you constipated? is constipation not a sign of early pregnancy? Fingers crossed for u!
I'm tired, acne break out, which I never get, and my boobs feel huge. Due this Friday so I might test Wednesday or Thursday.
Have u tested again?

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 07/01/2019 23:05

I keep holding onto the fact that AF still hasn’t come and have weird CM more like EWCM around ovulation which is not normal before AF (sorry way TMI, but that is to be expected on this thread Wink)
Trying to just enjoy the rest of my holiday and pray AF doesn’t show up at a really annoying time!! Would be just my luck.

Lammoshay · 07/01/2019 23:14

@hopeful31
No it’s odd as i was constipated when ovulating but now the last 2 days of an evening I feel I need to go (loosely) but when I try nothing but cramping.
No other signs tho and everything seems normal.
Haven’t tested yet as still only early after OV so it wouldn’t show anything anyway- was going to wait till around thu/fri to test x

Lammoshay · 07/01/2019 23:16

@hopeful crikes if I was due on AF Fri I would be testing everyday so well done for the willpower of not testing every 2 mins 😂😂😂💋💋💋

Lammoshay · 07/01/2019 23:17

@crossedtothedarkside
Have my fingers and toes crossed AF doesn’t show up for you, now get off here and enjoy the rest of your hols lady 💋😂💋

Sounds like Friday is the testing day! Good luck I hope there's positives shown in this thread soon xxx

Threelittlesquishies · 08/01/2019 17:15

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining too!
This is my first month properly ttc, AF is due in 2 days on Thurs, 13 dpo at mo. So far I have held off from testing! Maybe tomorrow is the day to test? Bit scared tho Confused
I know what you all mean about it being on your mind a lot! And I can't help symptom spotting, my boobs have getting more sore and tingly since dpo7 and that's not usual for me, but who knows could just be a random pms symptom!
Good luck to all of you and fingers crossed for those of you testing soon!

hopeful31 · 08/01/2019 19:07

Welcome @Threelittlesquishies

How's everyone doing today?

mass22 · 08/01/2019 19:36

I've just bought a digital basal thermometer today so looking forward to getting the hang of using that. Hope everyone is having a good day

hopeful31 · 08/01/2019 19:44

Let me know how u get on. I don't have one but I've been thinking about getting one.
Hope someone has a bfp soon xx

Lammoshay · 08/01/2019 22:37

Hi lovelies
Welcome @threelittlesqishies
Ok day here, I’ve just bought a basal thermo also @mass22.
I tested this morn and BFN, I genuinely don’t feel it’s happened this month but it ain’t over till AF is here .
How are you feeling today hopeful x

OP posts:
CrossedToTheDarkSide · 08/01/2019 23:17

Still no AF for me and all signs of AF have vanished! So bit confused. Hmm Not that I’m complaining. Still having more CM which I am trying not to take as a positive but have read can be a sign of pregnancy. Will wait another week or so and test again I think!! Confused

hopeful31 · 08/01/2019 23:48

@Lammoshay ur right. It's not over until AF is here. Fingers crossed for u. X
@CrossedToTheDarkSide things r looking good for u!! I'm sending all of my wishes that u get ur bfp!
I dono, I'm feeling a little strange. On min I think yes this is the month. And the next I think no way. I'm totally exhausted. Fell asleep at 815 and just awake at 1140pm! Feeling very nauseous, have tingling in my legs( for the last few nights) my cm is slightly yellow. I have no idea what's going on x

ale2992 · 09/01/2019 11:15

Me too...
I'm trying again are a MMC

Threelittlesquishies · 09/01/2019 14:50

I did a test this morning and was so shocked when two lines appeared!!! BFP Shock It's still sinking in!!
There weren't many symptoms really only slightly sore boobs and jus yesterday started feeling a bit funny.
Still hopeful for those of of you that may have tested too early!
@lammoshay are you only 5dpo? It's very unlikely that implantation will have happened, so you won't feel any different yet! Fingers crossed for you
How are you all doing?

Lammoshay · 09/01/2019 16:07

Yay squish I’m so please for you!! Eeeeeek!
How exciting ❤️
Congrats xxx

Hi everyone,

Its so good to read up on everyone else in the same situation, and helps to take my mind off my own! We've been TTC for 15 months now (after coming off the pill which I had been taking for 15 years), currently on cycle 11, with a regularly alternating pattern of cycles which seem to switch from 32 days to 42 days almost consistently.

Im on CD 22, although I should assume that this month will be a 42 day cycle, so still have a lot of waiting ahead. My ovia app is set for 32 day cycle, in which I would have just passed my FW, however on the assumption it could be 42 days, then this week could also be FW..we have BD every day this cycle (I know some recommend every other day, but we'll see how it goes and maybe test and adjust next time).

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon, will be keeping an eye out on here, and seeing others finally getting the good news inspires hope that BFP will eventually happen!

Looking forward to keeping up to date with updates, and trying to avoid symptom spotting, but its so hard isn't it?!
