Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

Nothing in particular, think it's just the not known, the waiting and everyone around me having kids

Sammiantha2020 · 05/01/2020 21:17

It’s ok...I feel like I’m losing it a bit tonight!
Bk to work tomorrow after 17 days off 😢 I could scream!
Maybe this will be our month 💪 we have too keep eachother positive!

I think if I get a BFN this time I'm going full on with the apps and temp too. Thank you for that advice. I hope this month is good for us all

Wintergal · 05/01/2020 21:26

Yeah am back to work too after 17 days off and dreading it! Deal let's keep each other positive. This will be our month! Xx

Sammiantha2020 · 05/01/2020 21:41

Fx the workload isn’t too intense as I’m too busy thinking about getting pg 🤣.

OP posts:
Wintergal · 05/01/2020 22:11

@Sammiantha2020 am in Glasgow what about you? Yeah maybe hoping the workload will distract me lol

Sammiantha2020 · 05/01/2020 22:14

I’m dreading it ...it’s like going bk to school after the summer hols 😆.

Wintergal · 05/01/2020 22:30

What a small world we are so close! I know that feeling of dread! Wish we had another week!

Sammiantha2020 · 05/01/2020 22:37

Maybe another wk would just make it harder 😔.
Let’s get some major bd’ing done this wk ladies...we need to get our BFP’s this year!

OP posts:
Wintergal · 05/01/2020 22:38

Can I jump in :) I'm 27, married to my husband who is 33, we have a 7y/o DS and trying for #2. Had the coil removed two weeks ago, followed by a bitch of a period and now I'm on CD 12. Had some clear but not strong OPKs which seem to be fading but we did the dance three times this week so who knows if it was an early ovulation? Told myself I wouldn't become obsessed with POAS but bulk order more OPKs and internet cheapies today. I'm having twinges in my left side so if I haven't already OV'd I'm hoping it happens this week! I'm so impatient and everyone around me is announcing their 2020 pregnancies (four so far!) Would be great to have some friends to go through this with as my husband would think I'm mad if he knew how much I'm obsessing.

@mumworkstudywine welcome to the crazy gang! Think we are feeling the same way and would be great to have folk to vent to! Baby dust to you x

Sammiantha2020 · 06/01/2020 13:09

Hey @mumworkstudywine how are you? Welcome! I’m going to do my first opk of the day/cycle @ 2 but only on cd 10 so imagine there will be a hint of a line...keeps me occupied though 🤣. The pinching sounds like ov is nearby for sure - just keep dtd and it’ll cover you! My oh already thinks I’m nuts & he doesn’t know the half of it lol.
I’ve come back to work today & found out someone is expecting 😔 boo! Weird mixed emotions as I’m so happy for her (she experienced a loss a few months before I did) suppose I just have to see it as a positive and that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

I feel like going back to work is rubbish... last month and even before that I was always thinking oh well, lots to look forward to over the Christmas period, and now it's just nothing.

I need to book a holiday lol x

Wintergal · 06/01/2020 16:33

Hope everyone had a pleasant day at work! I feel now am home I can get on with things baby wise lol

Sammiantha2020 · 06/01/2020 20:02

@Sammiantha2020 I totally agree! Need something else to look forward to and think about lol. My smiley face ovulation kits came. Am literally like a kid wanting to try them out l! Think I've defo went crazy!!!

Sammiantha2020 · 06/01/2020 20:51

How do they work? Can you only do them once a day? Though I suppose too expensive to do anymore than that!
That’s me every morning with my new thermometer - crazy shit what keeps us amused these days 🤣

OP posts:
Wintergal · 06/01/2020 21:17

Yeah I think so but am not sure! Yeah am the same with mine in the morning yet no idea what I looking for it to do lol

Sammiantha2020 · 06/01/2020 21:20

We’re looking for it to turn into a baby - somehow?! 🤣 god knows but at least it stops me wanting to use opks constantly!

OP posts:
Wintergal · 06/01/2020 22:09
