@Louu99 no it's not crazy...I know the feeling. On top of finding out if you're pregnant or not, we now have to look out for a loss and if we are pregnant not get to excited just in case. It's a mind f*ck lol.

Just take each day as it comes and try not to overthink and be anxious about it. Eat well and generally look after your health and trust your body will do its job.

@Louu99 hi lovely! Glad to hear from you! I'm ok just waiting again 🤦🏽‍♀️ how are you doing xx

PrettyGirl5545 · 02/12/2019 18:05

Glad you are back @Louu99!
You atleast know that you can get pregnant. Let's be optimistic and let's think how we can improve this month. By avoiding heavy workouts, by lowering alcohol intake and stuffs. This month is yours, i mean ours, hopefully.

I'm 10 dpo and i have literally no symptoms. I have 4 days left for AF to show up. I hope she doesn't show her ugly face this month.

PrettyGirl5545 · 02/12/2019 18:06

@nt1992 how many dpo are you in? And i hope you are not symptom spotting :)

CiaraJ01 · 02/12/2019 18:07

@Louu99 I don't think it's crazy at all! I'd be the exact same. I'd no idea all this TTC and staying pregnant was such a minefield- there should definitely be counselling or something to prepare people!!

Also a break from thinking of it all is such a relief. A weekend away made me realise how I was - not stressed exactly, just all consuming. I've came back feeling so much more positive and relaxed it'll happen when it's meant to 💕💕

EightiesBaby · 02/12/2019 18:19

@Louu99 lovely to have you back!!! I soooo need to do a digital detox...might copy your idea soon!X

I have no idea what's going on with me...clue app has recalculated my ovulation day twice this cycle so it's messed up what DPO I think I am. Initially I was due AF today but it's not showed up. Pregnancy tests are negative apart from 1 on Saturday where the ever so faint line appeared then faded into nothing. I've had no period cramps like I normally have 24hrs before it starts. But my cycles vary every now and then by a few days. My cycles are also LONG...like up to 40 days....so who knowsHmm Maybe it just didn't stick?

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 18:54

Nice to see some of you ladies back. I think my baby making journey for this month is out of the question. My hubby has just been referred to a specialist and the doc mentioned the 'c' word. It more than likely isnt and the referral is more a precaution but cant expect him to perform when we both have that in our head.

nt1992 · 02/12/2019 18:55

@PrettyGirl5545 1DPO😂🎉

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:03

@Skygirl1983 sorry to hear that and I hope it's nothing serious. So are you not able to keep trying whilst he see's a specialist?

FutureMrsSmith · 02/12/2019 19:07

@Skygirl1983 sorry to hear you're both going through a worrying time, that is probably your priority right now 😊

@Louu99 lovely to see you back, you're absolutely not wrong to feel like that, this is your journey so take it however you feel it's best.

@mellymoo86 are you doing ok today?

@nt1992 I'm just going to assume I'm 1DPO as per my app. No ovulation symptoms so I'm not sure if I have or haven't. I guess time will tell.

Hope everyone else is ok!

nt1992 · 02/12/2019 19:09

@FutureMrsSmith it's all a big waiting game isn't it! Hope you're well too xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:09

@FutureMrsSmith I'm good thank you. Just made banana and chocolate blondies. I think I cook to much 😂 need more people to feed. Hurry up baby!!! Lol How are you doing?

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:19

@mellymoo86 it's in a bit of a personal place if you get my drift. He says it's been uncomfortable for a bit but being a man takes an age to get seen. I couldn't put any extra pressure on him.

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:22

Ahhh I get you @Skygirl1983. See how it goes, you still have another week or so until fertile week right? You never know. But I agree, don't push him...he might get all worked up then.

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:27

Yeah I still have at least 10 days or so. The doc says he'll get a referral quick which is good.

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 19:29

@Skygirl1983 That's great. If he can get it sorted this year then perfect. 😊 I'm due to ovulate in about the same amount of time. Let's see if my body resets itself. I'm trying maca powder this month.

Skygirl1983 · 02/12/2019 19:45

@mellymoo86 how are you feeling in yourself about what's happened? What's maca powder?

Mangaroo · 02/12/2019 19:45

@Skygirl1983 Sorry to hear about your husband's condition, hope he gets answers and the right treatment soon.

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 20:04

@Skygirl1983 Maca powder is good for men and women. I'll copy and paste exactly why it's good for females below. I want to try and do what I can to help with implantation and maintaining a pregnancy so thought I'd give it a shot.

I'm feeling fine now. I've come to terms with it and after speaking to OH it's made me feel a lot better. He is happy that what we are doing is working and we are able to conceive as I know her was worried about his little swimmers. I'll probably need to reschedule my cycle day 21 blood test next week since due to the miscarriage I'll only be ovulating then. 😕

It is thought that Maca’s benefit to female fertility comes from its ability to restore hormonal balance. In particular, it is believed that Maca may help suppress estrogen dominance, and encourage a favorable estrogen/progesterone balance conducive to achieving pregnancy. Many women also report an increase in libido and sexual function when taking Maca.

Ellsbells112 · 02/12/2019 21:09

Hey guys! How are you all doing? Sorry to hear about mcs people have had 😢

What dpo is everyone?? When's af due? I'm 1dpo so a long way to go. Australia is close now we fly next week so that'll break it up for me.

@mellymoo86 hey! I've been taking maca root to help Ttc :) hope you're holding up OK ❤️

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 21:20

@Ellsbells112 Aussie sounds lovely. Is it a holiday?

I'm alright thanks lovely. Counting down the days until I can try again. Got another 10 or so days to go. 🤞🏽

Ellsbells112 · 02/12/2019 21:29

@mellymoo86 yes, my sis lives there so going to finally stay with her! Whoop whoop :)

Good glad to hear. Will you be doing opks? I used the clear blue digis this month, I went from blank faces to a straight solid smiley on Sunday morning lol feel like I ovulated during the night as all pains and ewcm from yesterday are gone.

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 21:50

@Ellsbells112 That sounds awesome, you will have a blast!! 🎉

Yeah I always use opks. Once I start getting darker lines I start using the cb ones. I also go from nothing to solid smiley. This cycle I'm doing the cheap opks once a day from day 3 as I'm not sure when I will ovulate because of the mc. Fingers crossed for us all!!! 🤞🏽

mellymoo86 · 03/12/2019 09:29

Morning everyone, I hope everyone is ok and no one has frozen to death lol. Everyone's Christmas tree must be up now. I realised I didn't share my tree picture, here it is 😊

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
Skygirl1983 · 03/12/2019 09:56

@mellymoo86 looks lovely. We are doing ours this weekend coming up. I have woken up loaded with a cold. Getting my eyebrows waxed and tinted and getting my hair cut so busy day. Worried sick about my hubby too. He seems fine about it all but I'm a worrier and wont feel ok about it until we know something.
