Anyone starting their TTC journey in July 2019?

Anyone in the same boat? I'm 33 and from next week DH and I will be actively trying for #1. I'm excited, nervous, trying to be chill about it all but also imagining myself with a bump celebrating Xmas this year

I started taking SS 'trying for a baby' supplements 4 weeks ago, not sure if it was their effects or not but this month my cycle was 20 days. Otherwise i'm 27 days always. Anyways, let's see what happens.

Hoping to find some pals in a similar place at the moment on here!

@TurquoiseKiss I hope everything will be okay for you good luck! I'm sure its fi e though, if its stopped? Fingers crossed for you hun xx
If that's the case it's good because we DTD two days prior then on friday when I saw the EWCM DTD later in the evening between friday and saturday so I dont know just have to wait!
All I know is I'm getting crampy feelings but it's too early to mean anything surely, whether I ovulated on friday or Saturday I'd only be 3-4dpo. Yesterday orgasmed and cramped quite badly afterwards for 2 minutes that's definitely not normal! Anyway just have to waaaaait 😬😬😬😬

AlmostAlwyn · 10/09/2019 20:10

Fingers crossed @TurquoiseKiss. It must be difficult to relax on your holiday with all that going on. Hope all is well and good luck at your first appointment next week.

Hey @Wakemeupwithcoffee any update??
@Positivity2019 any update?
I think I'm about 4dpo, last night I had some sort of shooting/stitch like pain that lasted for about 20 minutes it wasnt one particular part just my lower belly in general and in my lower back with a sort of ache going into the back if that makes sense. I'm trying not to over think it! Gotta wait it out and see of its something, I thought maybe gas but nothing would come (sorry tmi). Now my lower belly just feels a little tight if thats the right word
Anyone else experience something like this?

Positivity2019 · 11/09/2019 15:02

@Ellsbells112 I’m still getting a flashing smiley but my Ava bracelet is saying that today is ovulation day so I’m still testing for now and still DTD. I’ve had the most busy mon and tues, out until 10.30pm on training. However, we’ve made the effort to DTD when I got in both nights. I’m feeling so positive about this cycle but have to just wait and see. You’re symptoms sound exciting, fingers crossed for you!! The TWW is the worst for sure.
@TurquoiseKiss sorry to hear about your scare but hopefully all’s fine. Enjoy your holiday and keep rested.
Hope everyone else is doing fine and staying positive.

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 11/09/2019 20:21

@TurquoiseKiss sorry to hear about your scare but I’m sure if the bleeding has stopped all is well. I had the same thing with one of mine on holiday when I was quite far along but all was fine in the end.

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 11/09/2019 20:44

Good luck @Positivity2019 I’m impressed with the stamina 😊 @Ellsbells112 it all sounds very promising!!

I guess I am about 10 dpo but I’m convinced I’m not pregnant. No symptoms at all.

Positivity2019 · 12/09/2019 21:55

@Wakemeupwithcoffee how long until you are going to test? I’m rooting for you!
Trying to keep up the stamina until the weekend, hoping that will cover all the bases.

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 12/09/2019 22:07

Thanks! I won’t test unless I’m late. Felt irritable and bloated and hot today but think that’s all pms symptoms for me anyway!

Ellsbells112 · 13/09/2019 09:40

@Wakemeupwithcoffee I'm the same, apart from those stitch like pains the other day I haven't had my normal pregnancy symptoms. My breasts dont hurt at all, I have no sickness etc. Of course it could be too early I dont really know!
I've been feeling faint on and off and my right side there is a constant niggling feeling dunno what it is and feel like I'm only feeling it because I'm looking for things! 😬
So you must be 12dpo right? Is your period due in a few days?

Positivity2019 · 14/09/2019 09:33

So hard to pin point what the symptoms actually mean when they could mean either AF or BFP.
I’m 3DPO so a long way to go. I’m going to try not think about it. It’s my birthday next week and I’m 35 so I’m really not wanting to get stressed about hitting that dreaded fertility age. I’ll be testing the weekend after my bday and I’ll be celebrating with family so it would be ace to boost my weekend with a BFP.

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 14/09/2019 13:18

Period due today. I’m so irritable driving oh mad! I can’t help it - hormones! I can understand how you feel about turning 35 @Positivity2019 but you still have plenty of time, I’m sure you be fine!

Ellsbells112 · 14/09/2019 13:33

Well today I'm 8dpo, feeling a little sick but I can feel sick from pms normally. I've been having cramps and back pain today, not as bad as AF cramps but cramps indeed. I'm trying not to over think it but definitely jotting it down.
@Wakemeupwithcoffee let me know of af comes, do you normally come on during the day? X

Wearenotyourkind · 14/09/2019 19:22

Fingers crossed for everyone in the TWW 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I've just waved goodbye to AF and ready for cycle #2. Still pleased as 2nd period after being on the pill for 18 years has been "normal" too. Good baby vibes to all.

Mim21 · 15/09/2019 13:16

Keeping my fingers crossed for you both @Ellsbells112 and @Wakemeupwithcoffee !

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 15/09/2019 19:42

Well you are not gonna believe this..well you might but I don’t know if I do! I got my bfp today!! I am still in shock. My husband is in shock. We were only gonna give it 3 months and this was the second month so in my head we had two futures one with our current family and one with an addition! I’m still getting my head around it.

Also though I don’t feel sick which is weird for me (basically no symptoms other than the moodiness which often happens with pms anyway!) so part of me is thinking it may not stick. We will see.

Hope the rest of you are ok?

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 15/09/2019 19:43

How are you doing @TurquoiseKiss?

Wearenotyourkind · 15/09/2019 20:23

OMG congratulations @Wakemeupwithcoffee! Brilliant news!!!!

AlmostAlwyn · 15/09/2019 20:25

Congratulations @Wakemeupwithcoffee! Great news! I'm still pretty much without symptoms at 7 weeks (and was the same with my first) so I wouldn't read too much into it! I guess it'll take a while to sink in for you though!

Han1213 · 15/09/2019 21:39

Ah lovely news @Wakemeupwithcoffee and any others with BFP!
I thought I had my period this morning. However, it was extremely light and had stopped my mid- morning. Thinking it’s prob a bit of spotting before it starts properly and my body is still it irregular. Would have been exactly a 28 day cycle too!! X

Positivity2019 · 15/09/2019 22:21

@Wakemeupwithcoffee what wonderful news!!!! Congratulations!!!

Ellsbells112 · 16/09/2019 00:48

@Wakemeupwithcoffee yessssss congratulations!!! That's amazing I'm so happy for you woohoo!! 😁😁 I've got to wait till late this week to find out!!

@Wakemeupwithcoffee Mega happy for you! I have a slight fantasy of being a mum of 3 one day, its going to be great for you all! Have you told anyone yet?

We are back from our holiday and I am 7+1 today (I think). Luckily I had no more bleeding episodes since my last post. The tiniest bit of brown spotting this morning, wore a pad into work - only a pin prick size of brown has gone on there. My GP appointment is tomorrow so i've noted down the days I spotted and I'll see what they say. Just itching for that confirmation now, if we see a heartbeat this week (either by private scan or if GP is happy to send me to EPU for one) we'll be delighted.

How is everybody else getting on?

Positivity2019 · 16/09/2019 17:39

@Ellsbells112 seems like we might be testing around the same time. I’m Saturday. Need this week to go fast, desperate to have an answer for this month.
@TurquoiseKiss glad to hear you’ve no more bleeding. Hoping you have a great appointment. How exciting to maybe see a heartbeat.
@Han1213 fingers crossed that it’s not AF!! That would be great two BFP in a matter of days.

Positivity2019 · 16/09/2019 17:42

I’m trying to keep up the positivity. Got a busy work week ahead so it should be the weekend before I know it. Deeply engrossed in Downtown Abbey, I never watched it first time around and Peaky Blinders so I cant stop putting on a brummy accent. Got to love the little things that get us through the TWW. Hope you’re all fine.

Ellsbells112 · 16/09/2019 17:55

@Positivity2019 tell me about it, the tww is just driving me nuts. Peaky blinders is great, I'm filling up my time with the handmaids tale, nearly done though, lucky theres only 4 days left needed of distraction!
Have you any symptoms?
I think I'm going mad, I dont think these are pregnancy symptoms, its not something I've experienced before in pregnancy! I've had headaches every day since 7dpo, dizzy spells, gas, hungryyy, irritable, a little heart burn and the weirdest cramps! I mean seriously I never get cramps before my period and I just bet this one time I'm listening to my body its screwing with me! Yesterday I felt ill and had to have a sleep, today the same thing happened and I'm not doing anything strenuous lol maybe I ate something bad.
Anyway, I'm not very hopeful as it doesn't feel like pregnancy 🙄
