TTC buddies needed DESPERATELY

I desperately need some TTC buddies. We've just started trying for no.3 and we haven't told anyone. I'm bursting but with no one to talk to. I realise this makes me sound like a total sap

@MrsB899 thanks, I was expecting it today. 3 more days till af due for me so just checking every time I go to the loo waiting for the dreaded to happen. Sorry if it is af happening for you😔 hopefully not.

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 12:22

@Squiff70 maybe just start DTD just incase that's what I would do 😄they are frustrating the opks, last month I got a strong positive and this month I didn't but I did have EWCM and ovulation pains so just DTD as much as we could.

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 12:33

@dizzy85 oh we ARE, every day (I'm sore and contemplating buying a box of Mini Milks and NOT for eating Grin) but it;s painful. I find when I'm ovulating, sex really hurts whch isn't conducive to baby-making so I grit my teeth and get on with it. Takes all the enjoyment out though, if I'm honest.

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 13:11

@Squiff70 haha I'm sure the mini milks will be nice and soothing 😂 but no that doesn't sound too fun being painful. I do think that sometimes ttc takes the fun away but mainly coz we are both tired from work some days and have to force ourselves to do it even when we don't feel in the mood so we both just end up laughing coz we're not exactly horny but we are on a ttc mission, it is funny 😂

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 13:25

I was joking about the Mini Milks but I'll never look at them in the same way again Smile

I don't know why it's so painful. It feels like tugging on my ovary which is excruciating at times. I know what you mean about being too tired and just ending up laughing. It's great that you can laugh about it!

Aberforthsgoat · 05/05/2019 14:28

@squiff70 your comment made me nearly snort my coffee Grin I think we can all relate!
I'm slightly weirded out by the fact that all my symptom spotting madness seems to have disappeared?! I have no idea what's going on. The only thing I was keeping an eye on was my fitbit heart rate but even then, I wasn't paying too much close attention. AF is due Tuesday, so I should expect some spotting later today or tomorrow, and Ovia is encouraging be to POAS and yet....I DON'T FEEL THE URGE.
WHO EVEN AM I?

Shuffles away from the thread to go and locate aforementioned madness

Kinsella82 · 05/05/2019 16:45

@Aberforthsgoat fingers crossed af doesn't show up xx laughing at the "who even am i" comment 😂😂

Oh @dizzy it's good to let it out every so often too. These men need to know how hard it all is for us. I threw the bfn stick at dh yesterday morning. :-(
Sorry to hear about the bfn today

Well I have started strange spotting. It's (tmi) there when I wipe but kind of stringy mucousy blood tinged wierd stuff that I never get. Af Is still 4 days away. Do I bother getting my hopes up that it could IB at 12dpo?? I'm drained from this whole thing. Can't believe we started in Dec and all the things we've done so far this year I was convinced I'd be pregnant by. We don't get to do much socialising as dh is a farmer but every year this weekend we go to the races and we went yest and I found the day very hard because all year I'd been looking forward to it but picturing myself pregnant at the races this year. It was the same at a local bbq/concert a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe it's May

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 17:01

@Aberforthsgoat are you feeling alright?! What is this you're experiencing? I don't understand Grin And I don't recommend snorting coffee!

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 17:03

@Kinsella82, really hoping this is IB for you. Can you do a FRER?

Kinsella82 · 05/05/2019 17:31

@Squiff70 I had frer but did them
On fri and sat so I've none left again now.
Again tmi but just went to the toilet now and it's looking more like af... have put a pad on now to see what happens. I'll be gobsmacked if it's af this early.

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 19:07

@Kinsella82 I like your style of chucking the bfn at him 😂 and hopefully it's not your af!

@Squiff70 I do sometimes get pains dtd around ovulation especially if I'm having bad ovulation pains it can feel quite stabby in there.

@Aberforthsgoat Fingers crossed for you!

LuciBee · 05/05/2019 19:12

Sorry for the BFNs ladies, it’s so disheartening. I was hoping I’d be pregnant for a night out I have on Saturday... fat chance of that lol. Af is due weds and we haven’t dtd much, plus it doesn’t look like I’ve actually ovulated either!

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 19:35

@LuciBee have you tested yet?

LuciBee · 05/05/2019 19:55

I stupidly did one yesterday, not even sure why to be honest. Suppose to rule it out..?

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 20:02

@LuciBee not out till af comes! Mines due Wednesday too just waiting to see what happens now.

MrsB899 · 05/05/2019 20:17

All spotting has stopped hmmm

Hi everyone, I've just taken this FRER (due AF on thursday)

Am I seeing things / hoping something is there?! I took a One Step test 2 days ago and that was a BFN

TTC buddies needed DESPERATELY
dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 20:56

@cc1616540 wow congratulations that's definitely a line 😊

Aberforthsgoat · 05/05/2019 20:59

oh that's definitely a line, and a bloody good one considering AF isn't due until Thursday, congratulations! Hopefully your luck will be catching :D

cc1616540 · 05/05/2019 21:04

@dizzy85 @Aberforthsgoat thank you both so much! I've just rang the OH who is at the pub and we both cant believe it.

Wishing everyone else the utmost luck on their journeys, will still keep my eye on this thread 😊

How are you both getting on?

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 21:08

@cc1616540 aw really happy for you 😊! Still bfns so far for me but not due af till Wednesday so holding onto hope until then.

cc1616540 · 05/05/2019 21:10

@dizzy85 You aren't out until AF arrives, wishing you all the best luck in the world! 🤞

Aberforthsgoat · 05/05/2019 21:15

Ah lovely! I haven’t tested yet this month, AF due on Tuesday but don’t think this month is my month

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 21:27

@cc1616540 WOW that's a superb line! Congratualtions. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy and beyond Flowers

@dizzy85 As others have said, you're not out. Praying AF doesn't show her ugly head!

@Aberforthsgoat You're not out either. Equally praying your AF stays away!

My OPK lines are getting slowly darker and hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday will show darker still. I'm still contemplating those Mini Milks but grateful DP has gone to work so I get a break, lol! I'm still trying to persuade him that once a day is more than enough and in fact experts recommend every other day. He's having none of it! Anyway, Tuesday should be THE day so after that I'm in the TWW again. Cross everything for us girls please.

dizzy85 · 05/05/2019 21:36

@cc1616540 Thankyou! And wishing you all the happiness x
