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

Ah @dizzy85 sorry to hear that 😔

Squiff70 · 07/05/2019 12:53

Aww @dizzy85! Maybe May is your month? I hope so...

It's my ov day and I've had a blazing positive OPK just now - and DP is asleep after his night shift. I'm currently thinking of nice ways to wake him up in a couple of hours Grin

Ooo @Squiff70 enjoy the next day or 2!
I'm on CD12 waiting for my positive OPK :(

Squiff70 · 07/05/2019 12:58

I don't know about enjoy, I'm already worn out, lol

LuciBee · 07/05/2019 14:27

I’ve had my peak opk and not dtd... so I’m defo out this month!

LuciBee · 07/05/2019 14:30

Actually, we dtd on cd19 and cd22, had my peak opk on cd23 so you never know. I got pregnant after dtd only twice in my fertile week the first time round so there is always a chance!

cc1616540 · 07/05/2019 14:32

Congratulations @Aberforthsgoat !!! That's such amazing news Flowers

To anyone else on this thread, I have a TONNE of cheap OPKs, pregnancy tests etc at home which I dont need know, would anyone want them? Happy to post them out, seems a shame to let them go to waste x

Jonesydocandjr · 07/05/2019 14:35

@LuciBee my husbands actually not too bad and this month we have started calling it 'putting up shelves' as I walked in after putting the wee man to bed and was like right 5 days till predicted ovulation by my calls so if you could just accompany me to the bedroom!! But luckily he understands and actually likes a bit of humour around it! I find the best way to deal with my DH is to warn him I'll be expecting shelves to be put up that evening Grin in saying that it's good to mention it but not nag ... mine we women have all the work don't we?? Lol

dizzy85 · 07/05/2019 20:51

@Kinsella82 aw I take it yours has come too? Sorry if so 😔xx
Thankyou @LuciBee got my fingers crossed for you!🤞🏻
@Squiff70 let's hope may is the lucky one😄 that's good you got your positive opk enjoy dtd!

Kinsella82 · 07/05/2019 20:57

Yeah it must be. Started on Sunday with just spotting then yesterday was still very light and today very light and almost gone. But the cramps are flooding me. I actually have been dragging myself around. Boobs are still killing me. I had hoped it was implantation bleed but I think it's too heavy for that even though it's light for me and it was 4-5 days early.
Just finding it so hard to accept that I've to start yet another long month. I feel like I've wished this year away so far always waiting for the next two weeks to be over

dizzy85 · 07/05/2019 21:12

@Kinsella82 have you done anymore tests to check? I know how you feel, it feels like I'm putting my life on hold just waiting each month.

Kinsella82 · 07/05/2019 21:19

@dizzy85 I feel guilty when I think of how much of this year I've let slip by
Did an IC this evening. Just torturing myself I think

dizzy85 · 07/05/2019 21:47

@Kinsella82 I know what you mean but don't beat yourself up and feel guilty, your ttc which is definitely a good use of time🙂I actually did a cheap test this morning when I had clearly come on but just one last check to satisfy my crazy brain🙄

Kinsella82 · 08/05/2019 07:20

@dizzy85 thanks for that.
I did one more cheapie this morning as I have a bone scan today where I'll be injected with some kind of radiation so it's not recommended while pregnant which is why it was arranged for this time of the month. But all along I was hoping I'd be pregnant by then. Still a light flow happening so I need to move on now and draw a line

LuciBee · 08/05/2019 10:25

it is very disappointing, and ttc for the first time does completely consume you, i remember being the exact same event though it didnt take me long. I'm finding that less so this time as i already have DS who occupies a lot of my time, as well as working etc, i have less time to obsess over it all.

dizzy85 · 08/05/2019 10:46

@Kinsella82 At least if it is af then it will be over soon and you can start onto the next cycle. I can't wait to get stuck back in now. Ouch a bone scan that sounds painful.

@cc1616540 just reading back on yesterday's posts, what a lovely idea to do that.

@LuciBee have you done any tests yet?

So my new thing is, I'm looking at how to make my diet healthier this month and hope that may help, I'm gonna start having smoothies again and stay away from the chocolate muffins 😂 I've just found myself googling fertility smoothies haha I've woke up with a new found determination!

LuciBee · 08/05/2019 12:12

@dizzy85 I haven’t done any tests. Ovia says my period is due tomorrow now, but surely that can’t be right if I only got my peak opk on sun/mon? I reckon this cycle will be longer than my usual 26-28 days.

Cupcakes1234 · 08/05/2019 16:04

I've had a massive spot appear on my chin this afternoon, I NEVER get spots. It's really sore too. Don't know if it means anything though 🙈 maybe just a change in the hormones since stopping my pill. I'm 3 days after stopping my period now so my hormones must be doing something 😂 does this make me sound crazy?!

Healthypositivity · 08/05/2019 17:10

TTC after syanna press injection

Been on this for a year now. Due to re-take in June but will not. Planning to TTC before time runs out.

I'll be 37 this December and feel like time is running out. Initially I never wanted to have any more children, but has I age I'm thinking we should try before we have any regrets.

Anyone got pregnant soon. After coming off syanna press injection??

LuciBee · 08/05/2019 20:15

Spotting tonight...maybe af is coming tomorrow? Or could that be ovulation spotting and it’s taken a couple of days to work it’s way out maybe... I’m only 2dpo as far as I can tell.

Cupcakes1234 · 08/05/2019 20:18

@LuciBee what are your cycles usually like? Could be implantation, fingers crossed for you!

LuciBee · 08/05/2019 20:42

@Cupcakes1234 it’s too early for implantation 100%

LuciBee · 08/05/2019 20:55

I usually ovulate on cd15/16 so my af would be due tomorrow. But this month I got my peak opk on cd23. So af shouldn’t be due yet.

dizzy85 · 08/05/2019 21:28

@LuciBee maybe it will just be a longer cycle then where you've ovulated later, it's so confusing at times!

@Cupcakes1234 I have 3 spots on my chin area and 1 on my cheek..feeling fresh right now 🤣

@Healthypositivity hello and welcome! I don't personally have any experience with this but just wishing you luck 😊

@DNAshelicase hello and welcome! Ooh quite far in the tww then..I know that feeling oh too well 😄 hope it's a lucky month for you! How long have you been ttc for?
