TTC buddy needed!

[AllTheGlitter]

Hi guys I am 7DPO (I think) and don’t think I’ve done it this month but feeling rather alone and would like someone to talk to about it all!

Only symptoms I’ve had this month are IM BOILING HOT (but it is June), I’m really tired constantly and went to bed at 8.30 the last two nights (but my work is crap atm) and really heavy, sore boobs.

Think I ovulated last Monday/Tuesday and going to test Friday. My periods aren’t back to being regular as of yet after coming off the mini pill so it’s anyones guess.

Would love someone to symptom spot with!

Put a pic up (was coming up with errors when trying to add here so had to creat a thread. It's call I think I got my bfp if anyone wanted to see 🤞🏻 the line gets darker tomorrow 🤞🏻😁

Omg @Abi58 congrats !!! Fingers crossed it sticks and you get an extra strong BFP the weekend! We need some of your luck to run off on us pleeeaseeee
I feel like I've got forever to wait now until I can test its like I'm wishing the weeks away

@lonelyonee thank you so so much! I'm so nervous it won't stick again so testing every day 😂 💕
I'm sending luck and love to all of you!

When are you going to test?

@Abi58 I've got a loooonnngggg wait ahead of me. I'm currently on CD 4 after getting a BFN & AF on Saturday. So won't be testing now until at least Saturday 20th
Just trying to be positive and take my vitamins/supplements every day. Need to work on reducing my stress levels also but I'm a stress head so easier said than done!

My fingers and toes are crossed for you! x

@lonelyonee that's a great idea. Are you going to try anything different this cycle? I've been hearing about pineapple and Brazil nuts? No idea if it works but it can't harm (unless you absolutely hate them 😂)

Also smep is meant to be great!

Aw thank you! Ice tonight darker again so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 (weirdly my evening ones are darker than fmu 🤷🏻‍♀️)

@Abi58 I'm going to use OPKs this cycle, and I'm being strict about taking my supplements every day also. Ah I'll have to give those a go though, I'm open to any suggestions on anything that can give me a boost. Desperate to conceive before September as I can't have another birthday in June in the family. There's already 5 plus Father's Day and we can barely afford those haha.
How are you feeling? Glad your lines are getting darker!

@lonelyonee that sounds really good! I'm deficient on folic acid so am on a stupidly high dose anyway so fingers crossed that covers it (plus been taking a boots one)

I have no idea if they work but for the sake of a few nuts or bits of pineapple if it could help 🤞🏻👍🏻

Hah I know how you feel about that I'm not fussed about what month but there a certain ones I'm hoping to avoid as so many other things going on in them 😂 if this one sticks we should be in a great month 😁
(5 and Father's Day is ALOT so completely get that!)

I'm feeling good thanks, a lot more positive this month which I'm taking as a good sign but doesn't stop the worry 🙈 waves of nausea and stabbing cramps pains but if it means egg is burrowing deep I'll take all the pain it throws at me 😂🤞🏻
Thank you! Me too! Have you seen the pics? Looking darker just hoping the progression is in line with how it should be 🤞🏻 will feel so much. Enter when af date has been and gone!

@Abi58 I am too! I'm supposed to take it anyway but I'm useless and always forget so I'm making sure I am on it this month! Yeah anything's just worth a try I'm up for anything to try get an April baby!
I've been looking into smep so may give it a try, just hoping my body is cooperative with me!
Aww that's great, yeah I'm watching your thread just haven't commented on there as I'm juggling a few threads atm. Definitely going in the right direction there yay

@lonelyonee same here 5mg which is so much! So hoping that cover me 😂
Are you taking any other supplements?
I've started raking before my dinner in the evening and so far I've missed 1 day in 2 months so not bad going, it's sort of routine now
Aw thank you :) glad it's looking ok, I have no idea whether it's progressing as it should/slowly but miles better than last month 😁💕🤞🏻

@Abi58 I'm taking the seven seas trying for a baby ones + a cod liver oil + vitamin C also. I've decided to switch from coffee to tea & I'm attempting to drink tonnes of water every day at work (something about plump ovaries I've read?). I'm going to try the pineapple thing too, and I'm planning on using OPKs from CD 7/8 so fingers crossed!
POSITIVE THOUGHTS to you 

How's everyone else getting on?

@lonelyonee that sounds like a battle plan 😁 good luck! Lee is posted on how you're getting on?

I hope everyone else is ok?

Doing well thanks @lonelyonee and @Abi58, just finished up with AF, on cd4 and waiting to start trying again!

If it works out this month baby will be coming at end March. I'm in the nice pre-obsession stage now but still finding it hard to concentrate on things.

Fingers crossed for everyone, stay in touch!

@Abi58 so I’m on cd 8. OH has worked away majority of this year so it would have being a miracle to conceive tbh.
Hoping for this month. Trying to be more mindful and less stressful, but easier said than done on that score!

@lonelyonee hey! First month trying and currently on holiday camping with the DH. Tent sex is not fun 😂😂

Hope everyone is doing ok 👍🏻 😍

Xxx

@Abi58 Well I'm trying despite DP being adamant he has problems with his fertility.
None of which is proven and also he's managed to get someone PG before (although it ended in MC some years ago).

@CroissantwithCheese good! I'm on CD6 today so we're at the same sort of point. Yeah if you work it out it's end of March/start of April, I'd be well happy with that.

@Keepingfaith100 yeah trying not to obsess over it is difficult I'm one of those people once I decide something it has to happen there and then but with this I've no control over when it happens which is soooo frustrating!

@Jadey31 oh god that sounds hilarious! Well at least it's exciting eh! I'm trying to not male dtd into a chore but when you're having to make yourself do it every other day even when you're not in the mood it's a bit meh.

I've been talking to the other ladies at work who have little ones and they tell me all about their childcare and woah. I'm like what am I getting myself into! It's so expensive I'm actually trying to figure out what the hell I would do

@lonelyonee oh I don’t know what’s going on yet with my hormones I’ve been temping, using ovulation sticks and nearly onto 11 weeks with no sign of any af yet after the pill so I’m just continuing to keep my fingers crossed 🤞 and dtd every other day. I keep getting cramps etc like I’m going to get af then it goes away, I’ve had egg white discharge and surges in my temp too but I think my hormones are just trying to get back in order 🙈

@PeanutButter19 sorry to hear you still haven't had sign of a cycle yet. I really hope you don't have too long left to wait!

@lonelyonee I am cd43, bfn this afternoon. No idea when I ovulated this cycle. Wish AF would appear then at least I'll be on to a fresh cycle. Was hoping cycles would regulate sooner after I stopped the pill in March but no luck so far.

@Skyla01 thanks I’m just so impatient 😂 I wanted to wait for first proper period but now I’m like tracking everything and will go for it if I think I’m ovulating 🙈

@PeanutButter19 yeah I think we're all in the same situation with our bodies trying to get back to how they're supposed to be. We've been pumping hormones into our systems for a long time it was bound to take a while to regulate back to normal. It must be so annoying though to not know where you are at with ov etc... Hopefully you're first AF will come soon. I'm convinced I've not had a proper cycle yet tbh, and I don't think I've ovulated, even though I've had AF 3 times since I stopped the pill.
@Skyla01 are you going to try Ovulation tests? I'm going to start tomorrow I think, I have an order of some clear blue ones on the way but I have some cheap ones for the mo.

There's no harm in tracking what's going on ladies. At least the apps can take the inputted data and give us a better idea of where we are... plus it helps when dating conception & due dates too!

@lonelyonee how long ago did you stop the pill? I’m so jealous of the ones that bounce back and get pregnant straight away 🙈

@lonelyonee Yes I think I will start using opks next cycle to try and help pinpoint ovulation. Only cheapo ones though since my cycles are so long! My first cycle after stopping pill was 57 days. But eventually I got lots of ewcm to signal ovulation, with AF 2 weeks later. I was hoping this 2nd cycle would be normal length +/- cm changes again to help me out. No such luck this time (unless I've yet to ovulate). Very frustrating but nothing to do but be patient. Haven't been DTD much lately but I've kinda given up on this cycle. DTD every other day is ok for a shorter cycle but can't keep it up!

@PeanutButter19 I came off it in March after 12 years on it. I was hesitant as I thought I'd be one of those people who get caught instantly but nope it's not that easy!
@Skyla01 worth a try to get the right dates for the fertile window. And yeah I know what you mean I have sciatica and back problems so sometimes I'm in too much pain to be dtd but need to try to as much as poss this month! It is exhausting every other day though, I don't know how anyone does it! Haha.

@lonelyoneei was the same I wasn’t planning on coming off it until about August time and now I’m glad I did as still no cycle 🙈

My OH had an idea start trying in September but I persuaded him to just for it from March. So glad I did! At this rate we'd be lucky to conceive by September anyway!

@lonelyonee that must be hard with your back problems. I'm very impressed- I sometimes can't keep Up but I have no excuse!

Hi. I’m new to mumsnet and on our second month of TTC. My period is due tomorrow... and I’ve been getting cramps so pretty sure it’s on it’s way ☹️ I guess I should be glad that my cycle has come back so regular in one way, and I know two months of trying really isn’t long at all, but I will be so disappointed tomorrow if it comes. We DTD around 6 days around the ovulation window... starting to worry if something is wrong!
