@BabySquid it's not a downer we are all here to discuss the trails and tribulations of TTC and support each other 😊 I hope you get your well deserved BFP in the next few months!

@BabySquid I feel you! If it makes you feel better I have been here since pre the first thread so you're not alone! ❤️ I am getting scarily close to the year mark. 😩

Welcome @granddesigns 😀

Girls I have found a pretty good ttc podcast called 'Big Fat Negative' quite funny and they talk about all the ttc myths like legs in the air and acupuncture etc with guest speakers.

Hi @granddesigns xx

@FlapJackered I've heard about that thread!! I'm definitely going to listen to it when I can x

@BabySquid I'm with @FlapJackered - I was on the threads before this thread started, I think there were quite a few threads that we were all on, and in the end we made this one so that we could just have one long conversation basically 😂 I'm so glad for the support, but sometimes I do get sad thinking that I was here from the start and still am without my BFP 😩 x

@FlapJackered *podcast... it's been a long day 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh my goodness I'm so addicted to this thread already and we aren't even officially trying til next week!!

I hope all you ladies who have been here since the beginning get your BFP soon!

@FlapJackered Ill have to check that out I love a good podcast.

I got home did tea and did a bit of baking, got some candles on and feeling a bit more chill now. I'm only just at the start of my TTC journey so I can't relate about trying for long I can only imagine how stressful it is by how up and down this first month has been for me. I think 2019 is the year for us all though!

It's mad before I thought about TTC I thought I'd be really aware of not trying around feb/march for a November/December baby and now it's the last thing I worry about you don't realise the complications of it until you try. I thought the min OH came near me with his todger out and I wasn't on the pill I'd be up the duff but how wrong was I!

@FlapJackered a friend of a friend does that podcast, I was there when she met her husband actually! It's great, huh? :-)

Hi all, can I join? 32, cycle 10 (feels like 100 ) of proper 'trying' with a few gaps of just seeing what happens to attempt to stay sane.
Used to be on a few threads, but starting TTC again in earnest this month and fancied a bit of support

I've just subscribed to the podcast to listen on the commute tomorrow

Hey ladies, thread 12 already we really know how to chat 😊 Thanks @cupcakesandglitter for the new thread and for adding me. My statistics are:

33
Cycle 2
Cd 19 (roughly 6/7 dpo)
AF due either 1st Feb or 5th Feb going off last cycle. Said we won't test until a week late so hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that 9th Feb comes along with no signs of AF.

Welcome to the madness ladies @Chanel05 @granddesigns

@ValidUser Glad you've finally got some answers and your surgery isn't too far off. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Ladies who temp can I ask a couple of questions?

Is it worth having the VIP FF or just stick to the free one?
Only done 2 days (oral temping) but it went up quite a bit today is that normal? I'm only cycle day 5 and really not sure with temperatures what's normal

Thanks for the add,thread 11 was certainly lucky. I'm sure thread 12 will be even better ☺️

@MrsH497 I signed up for ff vip. I liked it, especially during the tww, it analyses symptoms and gives an idea on pregnancy likelihood. The lightbox features are okay but I think the free options on glow are better for opk tracking.

Just migrated over to this thread! Am tired from work but know we have to DTD! Watching coronation street instead! CD 14 ovulate on 16!

@MrsH497 I pay for the FF and I really like the extras you get with it.

@starkid and @PinkFizz19, thank you. X

@BabySquid I feel your pain! ❤️

@MrsH497 I have the VIP one, you don't need it but you can track more bits and pieces and I'm a data nerd so I love it. Maybe try it for one month and see what you think?

Hey ladies....? If I post a gross pic can you please give me your options?? I ovulated last Wednesday, have quite a long cycle, not due AF till at least next Thursday... but I've been getting some cramping today and then just wiped to see this... sorry I know it's gross but I need opinions 🙈

@MrsH497 I have the free version - I use FF for charting temp, Glow for OPKs and Flo for symptoms etc - all free and all do the job 😊 x

@BabySquid I don't want to get your hopes up but I've had this before and AF turned up early... but!! If you're certain you ov'd on weds you're 6DPO I think? That sounds about right for implantation bleeding!!! Fingers crossed that's it for you ❤️ xx

Hey everyone 👋🏼

TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD 10

FW is approaching at the beginning of next week, and I’m off work for a week! Woo hoo!

@BabySquid hopefully that’s implantation bleeding! Good luck!

Xx

@honeylove We’re cycle buddies! I’m CD10 today too. Although I have long cycles and last month I ovulated on CD28 so who knows 🙈 DH and I DTD last night (just in case I miraculously ovulate early this month) and plan to do it every other day until my boobs start hurting as that’s always my cue that ovulation has happened! Fingers crossed that everyone has a lucky cycle this month 🤞

I just re-read that and it sounds like I’m saying that my boobs will hurt from having too much sex 😂🙈 you guys must have thought DH and I have some weird intimate behaviour 😂😂

@OhMarnie oh that made me laugh!!
I didn't read it like that until you said it hahaha

So my cramping has pretty much stopped this morning, only a teeny touch of brown after I wipe this morning, I hope you ladies are right and it is and IB! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 and I'm hoping that if it is, it's a good sign as I didn't get this in Aug/Sept when I mc.

Well I'm out.

My temperature dropped back to pre-ovulation levels today at 11dpo, after dropping day by day since 8dpo. At least temping saves me a fortune on pregnancy tests, if I'm trying to find a bright side, not that i fucking feel like doing that if I'm honest.

I can't actually cope with this ☹️

@DuchessofPemberley oh I'm sorry to hear that. In my opinion it does get harder every month but you've just gotta keep thinking, you're doing it for a reason. It'll happen when you're body is right for it.
It's so hard to keep positive I know, look at my downer day yesterday, but you'll get there in the end. 🤗
