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

@Squiff70 Thankyou I shall be sure to update! Glad your lines are getting stronger, hahaha better stock up on them mini milks by the sounds of your OH enthusiasm 🤣

cc1616540 · 05/05/2019 21:43

@Squiff70 thank you so much! I actually cannot believe it, nearly 2 years of trying and it finally happens!! 🤗🤗

Everything crossed for you!! X

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 22:01

@cc1616540 I'm going slightly crazy after one and a half cycles. I cannot begin to imagine what you have gone through over the last two years. I am so so happy that you've finally got your BFP!

cc1616540 · 05/05/2019 22:15

Oh thank you so much! @Squiff70

Never lose hope - we went all out this month but I'm just now worrying about it being chemical or something goes wrong. It never stops!

Squiff70 · 05/05/2019 22:17

@cc1616540 I know what you mean. I lost twins at 19 weeks in january this year so even if I get pregnant again I won't relax at all. The chances of everything going well are really good, so chin up and try to enjoy the ride x

mynameisMrG · 05/05/2019 22:20

Congratulations @cc1616540!! That’s an amazing line! Xx

cc1616540 · 05/05/2019 23:04

@Squiff70 I'm so sorry to hear that, sending you lots of good vibes and hope!! X

@MynameisMrG thank you!!! I always expected them to be darker so I wasnt sure, thanks ! X

So confused! My fertile window has changed in ovia. I had ewcm yesterday so I added it in on there and it’s changed my fertile week meaning it was the week just gone! So I’ve just done 2 OPKs and they are peak! I’ve only dtd twice this week and one of them was last night so I reckon I’ve probably missed it now! So I’m guessing my tww starts now and at won’t be due this week?! So confused! Ov’ing on cd22 is so late for me!

Kinsella82 · 06/05/2019 09:35

@cc1616540 congratulations!

I'm still spotting/light bleeding. Cramps etc too so it must be af 😥😥😥
4 days early.
I'm devastated. I thought it was my month. Just want to cry and scream.

dizzy85 · 06/05/2019 12:00

@Kinsella82 really sorry if it is your af!?! Another bfn for me today! 🙄

cc1616540 · 06/05/2019 12:15

@LuciBee my app and body told me 2 different things too, we were DTD every other day for the first 3 weeks after AF finished - I tried listening to my body and not looking at the app!

@Kinsella82 thanks! Let's hope it isn't AF for you and just IB or cramps 🤞

@dizzy85 keep positive if possible, I know it's so hard, I hated it when people said that to me but :)

dizzy85 · 06/05/2019 12:58

@cc1616540 thanks, I am tryna stay positive😄 yesterday was the worst I felt so depressed but feeling much better today despite the bfn 2more days to wait for af unless it comes earlier. One thing I have noticed is I don't have sore boobs yet which I normally do by now but I'm not taking it as anything as my body has tricked me every other month one way or another.

Jonesydocandjr · 06/05/2019 13:45

Hi ! Would it be ok if I join this chat? I’m also ttc. Trying for our second and for some reason I’m much more stressed about it than I was with my wee boy ( he surprised us by being conceived in the first month of trying and we didn’t even try that hard!) but this month I’ve been checking all the apps and really stressing about it! I know I should just stay calm and not think about it but now AF is due in 6 days and every twinge in my body is driving me round the bend! Lol I’m old (38) and overweight ( less so than with first) so I know it may be a long road ahead ( trying to lose weight at the same time)

Really I just need to CHILL !

Anyway hi guys! And good luck!

Squiff70 · 06/05/2019 14:26

@Jonesydocandjr Hello and welcome! I understand - I'm nearly 37 and don't have any surviving children. I lost twins at 19 weeks in January this year and we started trying for another baby last month, so we're on our second cycle and I am already obsessed but trying to chill out!

I came off the pill last August and by September I was pregnant with the twins so it can and does happen quickly when you least expect it! Hopefully May is our month. I'm going to stay with my parents in July and keep thinking how nice it would be to announce a new pregnancy whilst we're there so I'm praying May is a success, for all of us!

Aberforthsgoat · 06/05/2019 15:44

dizzy glad to hear you're feeling a bit better today - are you due af wednesday?

I've got a bit of an upset stomach today which usually happens in the first couple of days of af so I reckon she's going to arrive bang on time tomorrow. Seeing as I've been so good at resisting the urge to test I'm going to wait a couple more days to make sure she shows so I don't waste a first response!

How's everyone else today?

Welcome jonesy

Jonesydocandjr · 06/05/2019 16:04

@Squiff70 thank you and I'm so glad you said that about day dreaming about announcements ! We are going on a trip down to the borders with the in laws this summer and just can't stop thinking how nice it would be! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does this!

Jonesydocandjr · 06/05/2019 16:14

Also I'm so sorry for your loss @Squiff70 !! That's so heartbreaking!

dizzy85 · 06/05/2019 18:32

@Aberforthsgoat thankyou I've kept myself nice and busy today to take my mind off it. Yer af due Wednesday, hopefully yours doesn't come tomorrow. I can't believe you've managed to not test! I've wasted 3 frers now bit annoying but never mind.

@Jonesydocandjr wishing you luck🤞🏻

Aberforthsgoat · 06/05/2019 19:16

@dizzy85 honestly I don’t know what’s going on. I have THREE FRERS in a drawer and some cheapie tests and I don’t want to use any of them. I had used six by this point last cycle 😱

I think I must be ill or something Grin

Got a really bad bloated stomach ache now so AF is definitely on her merry way, feels like it’s going to be a proper hell period as well. Joy!

Keeping busy is definitely the key.

Kinsella82 · 06/05/2019 19:32

I reckon this is def af. It's still very light. Like in about 30 hours there's very little actual "flow", it wouldn't have been enough to fill a pad but at the same time it's there when I go toilet etc. Why is it so light yet I'm in a heap with cramps?! Obv symptoms been absolutely nothing during the TWW Cos as u know I had plenty!

dizzy85 · 06/05/2019 21:32

@Aberforthsgoat you've had great will power for sure! I think I'm gonna just do a cheap test tomorrow and save my last FRER that's if af hasn't come, I got a feeling I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and it'll be here had stomach cramps and bit more spotting too!
@Kinsella82 I feel ya about the symptoms in tww it's sooo annoying why do our bodies do to us!?!

Aberforthsgoat · 06/05/2019 21:47

I'm now wondering whether I SHOULD test as my cramps feel different and I've cried twice in the last four hours for absolutely no reason (I'm really not a crier).
I'm going away tomorrow for a few days and won't be with DH so I'm wondering whether to test so I know about drinking (even though I really think AF is coming) and don't really want to test while I'm away without DH being there.

All my other cycles of symptom spotting have driven me actually mad Kinsella i haven't been able to think of anything else and would have SWORN I was pregnant about three times at least because I had so many symptoms, but nope just turned out to be AF. WHY do the symptoms have to be the same?!

dizzy85 · 06/05/2019 22:03

@Aberforthsgoat aw hope it means something good, fingers crossed if you do test, let us know how you get on🤞🏻.

Squiff70 · 06/05/2019 22:13

@Aberforthsgoat Can you do a FRER first thing in the morning, assuming you're with DH?

MrsB899 · 06/05/2019 22:35

Evening all just catching up after a morning shift and now a night shift 😩 shoot me
@cc1616540 congratulations!
@LuciBee my Ovia app done that last cycle too so frustrating!
@dizzy85 how are you getting on now? Today is officially CD1 but I'm not gonna get down about it. As soon as it's buggered off I'm gonna not obsess over OPKs and just DTD every other day where we can. (I say this now I'm sure I will be acting crazy in a week or two)
