Here for a hand hold and a squishy hug @lammoshay xxx

MumsTheWord92 · 11/03/2019 10:35

Feeling your pain @Lammoshay 😭 was so convinced I was showing signs but nope, the bitch is now here. So gutted :(

Anon93 · 11/03/2019 10:45

@Lammoshay I never realised how hard it was TTC and the pain of seeing a BFN, we’ve all either been there or going through it and we are all here for you ❤️

Lammoshay · 12/03/2019 00:27

Sorry to hear that @mumstheword 💐
There is nothing I can say that will help as I know that feeling to well. 😢

Thankyou @shewhojuggles ❤️ Virtual hugs always welcome x

@anon93 yep I’ve been ok up till now, I think my hormones are up anyway as AF is on her way so makes me feel a bit more down than usual.

@Lammoshay, so sorry to hear, catching up on the posts I thought I was coming to congratulate you. At least there is a few of us to move into the next month wit.

AF due in 3 days and I have had a BFN and I don't think I am pregnant anyway, although I had my MC two years ago I didn't even know I was preggers but this time I am looking for it it makes it so much harder doesn't it?

My friend is currently overdue on a one night stand baby, it kills me that she got preggers so easy and here is all of us trying so hard!

On to next month!

MumsTheWord92 · 12/03/2019 15:46

Hopefully we will all get our positives soon 🤞feeling so down today about it but trying to not let it take over

Lammoshay · 12/03/2019 18:31

Oh I’m fuming today and I ain’t gonna lie, it sucks big time :(

@Lammoshay 😘😘

ImMeantToBeWorking · 13/03/2019 13:02

@Lammoshay, we are all here for you to vent too.

DP and myself are going on a cruise at the end of April, as it is about 7 weeks away now only, I suggested to him last night that we don't try for the next month, just so that I am not very newly pregnant as I am a worrier and I don't think it would be good for me or baby if all I am thinking about is what I am eating/drinking/doing while on holidays. So I am out for my next cycle, then my fertile window of the following cycle is the week before we go on holidays, so possibly out for that cycle too, ah well! At least I can keep temping and see does it regulate at all.

I was back in the hosp this morning with my broken toe, and I have to have my boot on for another two weeks, then back for a third xray. Totally fed up of life at the min! Thankfully it is a long weekend this weekend, and himself owes me a spa day so might call that in for the following weekend just for something to look forward too.

Anon93 · 14/03/2019 18:35

Hey ladies still thinking of you all! Hoping you all get your BFP’s in the next few weeks 💗 I’m five weeks pregnant now but I’ve been having some bleeding and cramps, trying to keep optimistic and hopefully will get an early scan soon to see what’s going on!

hopeful31 · 14/03/2019 19:30

@Anon93 have u booked in for an early scan. Hope it's all ok.
I'm on day 9 of flashing smileys so should ovulate soon. Cd21 now so it's really late x

Anon93 · 14/03/2019 19:56

@hopeful31 it’s too early at the moment as they might not see a heartbeat even if everything is okay so holding out until end of next week and hopefully they will see me the week after (week 7) 🤞🏼 Really hope this is your month!!

hopeful31 · 14/03/2019 20:29

@Anon93 I suppose so. Try to take it easy. I'm sure it's all fine.

Thank you. I have a good feeling this month. Although I'm consciously trying to be optimistic lol

hopeful31 · 15/03/2019 07:27

I got another flashing smiley. That's day 10. And cd 22. Af due on 26th. Should I stop testing incase I have missed the surge?

Lammoshay · 16/03/2019 11:48

Hi ladies
How are we all. Xx

Hi all

Can I join in? First month of trying with DP and currently 7dpo (I think!). I was on the depo injection for about 18months and came off it in the summer, periods seemed to become regular(ish) around December (although never really been regular so I'm not sure on anything). We've been using condoms decided to 'stop preventing' this month but it's become an obsession for me already. I've got 3 different tracking apps and they all say slightly different dates. I know I'd be rubbish at tracking my temp but might get some opk's next month and see how that goes.

I conceived DS (different relationship) 9 years ago after forgetting to take the pill just once so think part of me was expecting this to be easy and the rational part is trying to get me to calm myself down!

Sorry for the long rambling intro!

Lammoshay · 17/03/2019 22:44

Welcome@wiki, it’s certainly not easy for a lot of us but we just have to stay positive don’t we and new out fingers crossed- sending you lots of baby dust x

How are we ladies- been quiet in here, give me updates xx

WiKi84 · 18/03/2019 15:22

According to Clue I ovulated on the 9th, Flo says 8th and Ovia says 4/5th. Dtd on 1st, 4th and 9th so I'm hoping I caught it whenever it was. I've been testing pretty frequently as it's 1st month trying and I'm impatient (really hoping I'll chill out a bit next month but I doubt it!) and keeping getting bfn obvs

WiKi84 · 19/03/2019 20:34

I've become a POAS addict already!

Now I don't believe this is even a faint positive but can someone shed some light on wth I've done to this??

First pic is from just a few seconds after peeing and second is 2-3minutes later. It looks like the dye all pooled in one place for a bit and then when I've turned the pic b&w I can see a line slightly whiter than the background (which has now totally cleared and doesn't seem to have any pink left to it).

Did I break it?? 😂

Looks like an evap line to me due to flooding. X

WiKi84 · 19/03/2019 22:19

Makes sense. Still annoying though. I tend to dip (always as per instructions - some say 5 seconds and some say 15) instead of actually poas as I'm worried I'll miss or my bladder isn't as full as I think it is

MumsTheWord92 · 21/03/2019 00:41

@WiKi84 Completely know how you feel. I fell pregnant with my now 19 month old as soon as I came off the pill. Was very surprised as I figured it would take atleast a couple of months just for my body to get back to normal. We are on our third cycle of trying now and I keep telling myself that it is still early, but with me falling pregnant so quickly last time I'm freaking out abit :(

Bit of a personal question but how often is everyone dtd?

ImMeantToBeWorking · 21/03/2019 13:45

Hi all, took a bit of a break from this for a few days.

So this month I stopped temping around the time AF came, and I have not started again. I am not going to temp this month and probably next month, as with a holiday coming up at the end of April I would rather not be newly pregnant in case anything happens when we are away, but now that we are trying to not get pregnant it will probably be the time that it happens!!

DP works away for the week, so how often we DTD changes week to week. If he is home on a Wednesday night we usually DTD then. Normally once or twice on Fri/Sat/Sun. One weekend recently he had cows calfing and ewes lambing so he was up late and gone early so we had it Sat morning only. That was a very bad week though.

We found we were DTD depending on OV etc and not enjoying it like we used to, we talked about it and decided to not let that happen anymore! We want to get back to the fun we were having before TTC.

MumsTheWord92 · 22/03/2019 17:23

Well not trying this month and might not be at all anymore Sad
