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 Grin

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!

Hey @mojitoextrarum don't lose hope. Your ttc journey is just a bit different, just like @goodnightsugarpop. I can understand the frustration though. Hang in there. And if you fancy dtd anyway, I hear it's good for stress relief!

mojitoextrarum · 15/08/2019 19:12

wear, haha true. Maybe we'll create a miracle Grin

Hi all hope everyone ok and feeling positive! Anyone in the 2ww and feeling any symptoms? My period is due today according to Ovia eek!

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 08:50

Oh wow @Wakemeupwithcoffee how exciting. Have you tested at all yet? I am day 7 of the TWW & have had a few symptoms - bloating & been very tired, I've also had very strange dreams 4 or 5 nights in a row. I've also had some cramping which could me AF is on her way 😕

What symptoms have you had? Keeping my FX you get a BFP soon!

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 16/08/2019 15:08

I felt nauseous a couple of days around dpo 7/8 but that has totally passed so guess I’d say no symptoms at present. No tests yet. Might test tomorrow if no period as otherwise I may have a few drinks tomorrow eve so better check first!

Bettyblue1 · 16/08/2019 15:09

Hey all, @mojitoextrarum, hope your feeling better today. Yes, I'm 9dpo. God damn tww drives me crazy. Not really having any different symptons than my usual pms symptons. My moods are very erratic tho. One minute I'm in a rage then the next I'm really down. Which is strange as I'm usually upbeat. I'm really tired this cycle but I've been working lots this month. @wakemeupwithcoffee, exciting times ahead. @PrincessConsuela12 All your symptons sound promising, will you test early or wait for AF?

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 16/08/2019 15:14

@PrincessConsuela12 I think the cramping sounds promising too. I had that with #2 and just knew it was an egg implanting!

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 15:36

@Bettyblue1 Well... I am WFH today and caved - BFN for me 😕 but could be too early 🤞🏽

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 15:37

@Wakemeupwithcoffee Thank you for the reassurance. I'm terrified of all cramping pain as it can be a sign of ectopic however I know it would be far too early. I caved this morning & got a BFN so going to try & good on until 9DPO (Sunday) x

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 15:39

@Wakemeupwithcoffee I've heard lots of people say they didn't have any symptoms this early on. Is AF usually on time?

Absa · 16/08/2019 15:47

Have just read some latest comments - same as you guys, potentially some symptoms but then today and yesterday I didn't feel anything at all. I know it's too early to tell and I shouldn't have done a test (BFN) as knew this would be the case but I couldn't help myself! Need to just be patient and wait another week but it's soooo hard!

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 16:12

@Absa how many DPO's are you?

This waiting lark is so hard isn't it! Goodness knows what I'll be like if I'm lucky enough to get a BFP and have to wait 12 weeks for a scan!

Bettyblue1 · 16/08/2019 16:27

Well on the test front, I've been good this month. I dont have any tests and I'm determined not to buy any. Doing my bestest to wait for AF just, the bfn's make me feel like crap tbh. Not doing so well with the not getting my hopes up malarkey. I've been convinced I'm pregnant at least three times a day fs!!

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 18:19

@Bettyblue1 Same with me, every time something feels slightly out I semi convince myself that it's leading to a BFP but I was soon plummeted back to reality with the negative test 👎🏼

You're doing well not to crack! I have prime and same / next day delivery is too tempting!

Absa · 16/08/2019 19:15

Only 7 or 8 days @PrincessConsuela12 !!

And I think l need a leaf from your book @Bettyblue1 and to not test until after AF due.

PrincessConsuela12 · 16/08/2019 19:51

@Absa That's the same as me! Really hope you get your BFP in the next few days 🤞🏽

Absa · 16/08/2019 19:53

Same to you @PrincessConsuela12 🤞🤞

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 16/08/2019 20:25

I think my period is starting 😭 never mind! Really thought I was pregnant a few days ago! Fingers crossed for you guys 🤞

AlmostAlwyn · 16/08/2019 21:01

Aw, that sucks, @Wakemeupwithcoffee :( but with my first, I was convinced my period was starting too, only for it not to appear! Felt totally the same! Positive test the next day :)

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 17/08/2019 07:28

Ah ok I’ll see if the spotting progresses. I had a terrible nights sleep!

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 17/08/2019 14:23

Still just spotting so did a test and it’s negative 👎 hope the rest of you have better luck!

Wearenotyourkind · 17/08/2019 15:55

Sorry to hear this @Wakemeupwithcoffee now have a few drinks and chill out for the weekend

Mim21 · 17/08/2019 21:30

Sorry to hear about AF @Wakemeupwithcoffee 💕

Mine is due on the 24th, i feel like i'm so tuned in to every little ache and twinge in my body this month. Boobs are feeling super achey today, i feel like this is earlier than it normally happens but can't really say as I didn't keep much of a track on it before, also feel like i keep getting little crampy twinges but not sure if its because i'm looking out for it, who knows we'll find out in a week! Trying not to do any tests before Saturday! keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else!

Positivity2019 · 18/08/2019 18:05

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I’m in the TWW as well but only 2DPO so a long way to go. I’m a little nervous as last time I ovulated I then went 12 past my due day for AF and it drove me mad. I was convinced and then unconvinced I was pregnant the whole time. Going to try and just stay calm this time if I can and not test. The BFN are hard going.
Sorry to hear about some BFN for some of you, stay positive for the next cycle.

Wakemeupwithcoffee · 18/08/2019 18:34

Do you mean your period was 12 days late but you weren’t pregnant? Did you keep testing? My period still hasn’t started!! So now I’m wondering if I should do another test tomorrow.
