Anyone looking for a friend

[Sammiantha2020]

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

@Sammiantha2020 I totally see what you mean and trying to stay so positive. It can be exhausting though. But it’s nice to have a partner to talk to about it, it can still really upset me from time to time, especially when it seems like everyone around me is having babies. @Wintergal Baby dust right back at you!

@Sammiantha2020 no still all negative very annoying

@Wintergal what cd are you on now? Apologies I forget... I get confused enough with my own lol.

@Brodijen it’s normal for you to get upset...I found Christmas particularly hard as I should have been like 22wks 😔. One day soon we’ll get our bundles of joy... I’m sure of it!

4 dpo today & the tww will feel harder/longer as I just don’t feel like I’ll be in with a chance at all this month as ov’d much earlier x

Can I jump on pls? Ttc #3 after a mc in October and May 😔 October's was particularly horrible as was further along than May and I was suffering from HG so didn't really "mourn" until the sickness had all gone then it hit me horribly.
DH and I have decided to start trying again but hoping to be more relaxed. Just ordered some OPKs just to see where my cycle is (as has been haywire since Oct). Currently on CD9!

Good luck to you all. Lots of baby dust 💫 xxx

Hi @Alice8688 & welcome! I’m so sorry to hear of your losses in May & October - I don’t think we’re ever prepared for that 😔. It’s odd as I was still getting positive pg tests for like 3 weeks after the surgery so like you ... I don’t think I properly grieved until all the hormones had vanished! I found though that when it happened to me so many people I knew started telling me their stories, who then went on to have healthy babies...so I guess we just have to remain positive and know that one day we’ll get our rainbows 🌈. I’m not sure if you had surgical management, but my cycles have gone to pot afterwards - 42 days, 33 and now 26 this cycle ... I was always 30/31 prior to the mmc. I really wish I could be relaxed, but I just want a baby so bad x

Hi sorry to jump in, im a 25 year old who doesn't really have any friends, especially to discuss trying for a baby and the stress behind it. Things are looking like I may of possibly conceived but trying not to get my hopes up just yet. Would love a friend to talk too :)

@Sammiantha2020 thank you my lovely. No. Nothing does 😔 I had medical management (I wish I'd had surgical now....) and I bled for 6 weeks. I had positives for 5 weeks. Was horrible because i kept my false hope going for a while. But I know it was unfounded as I felt "well" and I definitely didn't feel well when I was pregnant 😩 I'm apprehensive about trying again. And worried it won't happen. It would be my DH and my first. But my 3rd. I feel more nervous than I ever have before. I'm a great believer in "what will be will be" but like you say: it's hard when you want something so much.
Good luck to you hun. Have you been doing anything in particular to help conceive? Xx

@Wintergal TWW is the worst, if you can distract yourself with anything at all, do try. It’s so hard though. @Sammiantha2020 I really hope you have a BFP soon, is your cycle the same as it was pre-miscarriage. I’m worried mine isn’t, this is only my second month tracking with OPK so I have nothing really to compare it to.

Hey @GreenSloth12 welcome... we’re al here if you want to chat/vent! Have you taken tests? Fx for you!!

@Alice8688 I didn’t bleed that much after the surgery but my period 6 wks later was horrendous! I think both ways have drawbacks 😔. I find myself so desperate for a bfp, but I know deep down when I get it I’ll be a nervous wreck! I’ve just been using opks and tracking my bbt on the fertility friend app... I ovulated super early this month & wasn’t expecting that so it was 3 days prior to ov since we last dtd 😔...reckon I’ll be onto next month!

@Brodijen my cycle defo isn’t the same... I was 42 days, 33 then 26 this cycle ... it’s insane when I was always 30/31 for at least 2 years.

Baby dust to us all 🥰

@sammiantha2020 I'm taking my first test tomorrow! Very nervous thankyou for being so welcoming :)

@GreenSloth12 have you been experiencing symptoms? How many dpo are you? x

I'm five days late for my period, only been spotting weirdly, like mucusy, and had a lot of symptoms like I cannot stand coffee right now, it's normally my favourite! Bad bloating, back pain, increase in saliva, fatigue etc.. but not sure if I'm symptom spotting ! My emotions have been all over the place as well :( @sammiantha2020

@GreenSloth12 omg you’ve done so well waiting this long! I’m so excited for you... you’ll have to keep us posted tomorrow x

Awww thankyou @sammiantha2020 I'm so nervous! Hows your journey going? :)

@GreenSloth12 Currently ttc baby #1, had a mmc in Oct at 11wks, but started ttc again this cycle, though I ov’d a lot earlier this cycle so I had only dtd just short of 3 days before...no chance for my this month, but now I’m aware I’ll be more prepared next month!
Would this be your 1st? x

I'm sorry to hear your story so far but it's good you are prepared now and that you're not giving up hope :) this would be my first yes, I've wanted to have a baby for a while now my partner only recently agrees :') @sammiantha2020

@GreenSloth12 yea I’m feeling positive again... I’ll get there! Was this your 1st mont ttc? Did you track at all? x

This was my second month TTC, so I feel like it's unlikely but the signs are all there so I can't help but feel hopeful yanno? @Sammiantha2020

Definitely sounds positive ☺️ Please let us know how you get on tomorrow @GreenSloth12 x

@GreenSloth12 fingers crossed for you tomorrow

Thankyou @Sammiantha2020 and @wintergal :)

Oh wow @GreenSloth12 sounds like you’ve got some serious symptoms there! Best of luck testing tomorrow!

Hi all, unfortunately it's a negative :( I was just so sure this time :( just gotta stay positive :)

Hey @GreenSloth12 I’m so sorry! TTC is so emotionally draining, but remember we’re all here to support you through the next cycle if you need us 🤗 x

That's amazing thankyou so much! Same to you @Sammiantha2020
