Hey ladies, been a busy day, went out for afternoon tea with the mister, then arcade and dinner both my son and partner. Actually got a bit sick while we was out, not pregnancy related unfortunately hah.

@Beau2020x sorry you felt like shit, I totally feel your pain and would have gone mental as well! Hope you got to dtd xx

@ange211 ahhhh being late when you aren't usually is like the biggest mind fuck. You so badly want it to be pregnancy, I get ya! Hey, I'm holding hope for you that it is a case of not showing up on the stick yet!

@mumofboys17 omg I see the line!!! Please do a first response asappppp xx

Katie1109 · 15/02/2020 11:13

Morning ladies x hope everyone had lovely Valentines x
I had my peak this morning about 10am x we DTD last night and this morning and will try to do next couple of days too x fingers crossed 🤞

Symptomspotter86 · 15/02/2020 13:41

Morning everyone hope you all had a good V day. I went out for dinner with OH which was lovely.

FW coming up this week. Was meant to do my first opk this morning as CD10 but I forgot oops. We are moving next weekend so I think that this month TTC will end up taking a backseat as we have other distractions. Will still try to DTD on the right days but I'm going to take a more relaxed approach as have other things to think about.

@Mumofboys17 have you tested again?

Ange211 · 15/02/2020 15:52

@Symptomspotter86 good plan - that's probably when it will happen!!!

hampshirerose34 · 15/02/2020 18:27

Hi all, how is everyone I have been ill again so haven't been on here much.

Didn't ovulate this nothing probably antibiotics.

Mumofboys17 · 15/02/2020 20:43

@Symptomspotter86 not yet... I'm too scared 😂😂 I think I'm 8dpo today. Was hoping for some implantation bleeding but nothing yet 😕 convinced myself I'm out as I've zero symptoms and that it was just an evap... I can't bring myself to use my FRER!! 🙈 I know that sounds stupid.... I may cave and do it tomorrow just so I know.
Feel like I already know though 🙁 sorry to be such a negative nancy 😂😂😂

Mumofboys17 · 15/02/2020 20:44

@Katie1109 got everything crossed for you too lovely!! ❤️❤️

Symptomspotter86 · 15/02/2020 20:48

@Mumofboys17 it is really early to be getting symptoms so don't think that means anything yet hun. Fingers crossed tomorrow brings some good news on your FRER but remember it is really early xxx

ChrissyLove20 · 15/02/2020 20:54

Hi ladies,

Can I join?! I am due AF on the 20th and praying for a BFP

Mumofboys17 · 16/02/2020 07:59

BFN. 9dpo. Literally give up. I really, really thought we'd caught it this time. Starting to wonder if it's worth it anymore 🙁 I can't keep getting my hopes up like this. I've got one child, maybe I should just be grateful for that x

Ange211 · 16/02/2020 08:27

Aw I'm sorry @Mumofboys17 that's rotten. Still early days though 🤞
AF arrived in the early hours for me. I'm actually relieved as the glimmer of hope was worse. I'm in a better place this month than last (not surprising given last month's bereavement)
I'll decided in the next few days if we're going to try again or not. I'm not sure I can afford another month poas addiction 😂

Mumofboys17 · 16/02/2020 08:30

@Ange211 thanks xx I just know I'm out, you know when you know?! 😂 with DS I found out no doubt for certain by 8dpo. It's not the end of the world, I'd just really gotten my hopes up this month. I don't even know why! Maybe because we'd conceived DS in Feb before so I assumed?
I've got a - kid free! - shopping and lunch date today with friends so just going to enjoy that and get on with it
I'm so lucky to have what I have already, I'd love another baby but if it's not going to happen I duno if I cba with the heartache xx

Ange211 · 16/02/2020 08:59

@Mumofboys17 I do know what you mean. I've known with all of my pregnancies (even the ones that didn't stick!)
I also know what you mean about being happy with your lot. I have a big age gap between my 2 ds but after ds1 I genuinely made my peace with only having one. We were a really happy trio - going great holidays etc. Don't get me wrong we all adore ds2 but we were happy before too ❤️

Mumofboys17 · 16/02/2020 09:09

@Ange211 sounds stupid but you have no idea how much better that makes me feel reading that ❤️
In my heart of hearts I know it could happen eventually. Or WILL happen... 🙃 Just such a frustrating and difficult process!!
Honestly without this thread I'd be SO lost xxx

Katbaby · 16/02/2020 09:10

Hi, hope you don't mind if i join, just spent half an hour reading through all the posts 😂. Currently on cycle 1 of ttc however on cd58 with no sign of af 😔 spent half my wage on preg tests!

Ellsbells112 · 16/02/2020 09:35

@Mumofboys17 hey girl, sorry you got a bfn 🤗 I know how heartbreaking it is xx I hope you have a lovely day today though xx

@ange211 sorry af turned up but glad you're feeling a bit better this month, I know its probably not a great feeling either way 😢 but it will happen for all of us one day soon xx

@ChrissyLove20 welcome, how long have you been trying?

@hampshirerose34 how are you? When are you next fertile then?

@Symptomspotter86 how are you chick? When are you moving? Exciting but stressful times ay! ❤️

Mrslane2019 · 16/02/2020 09:40

@Mumofboys17 aww sorry to see this still pretty early to so still keep my 🤞🏻for you hope you have a lovely relaxing day
i know what mean to i’m happy with the 3 of us but addition would be great to but i think add pressure from my Oh and ds1 just doesn’t help and when thing don’t got to plan we have no control of it what so ever it so frustrating
So today 5dpo i have a horrible headache since day before ov it normally last a day but 6 days on and still there

ChrissyLove20 · 16/02/2020 10:19

Hiya,

Thanks!

We have only been trying two cycles. I took my implant out in November. My periods during the time I had the implant where not regular. In December I had a 3 day period, and it seems as though January's period was my first "normal" period. I am due AF on the 20th of Feb. So 4 days to go and considering testing tomorrow.

Which test does everyone recommend for early testing x

Symptomspotter86 · 16/02/2020 10:47

@Mumofboys17 I'm so sorry. Still early but I know what you mean when you just "know" even though I haven't been PG before. Look after yourself today.

@Ellsbells112 I'm good thank you! I'm moving next weekend so packing all this weekend. I'm on CD11 so expect my peak will be next weekend based on other cycles. Typical haha! Feeling pretty relaxed about it all this cycle though. What will be will be and all that. How are you doing? X

Beau20 · 16/02/2020 11:59

@Mumofboys17 oh no sweetie, I am so so sorry. I think it's safe to say, we can all feel your pain on here ❤️ I think after my next BFN in 2 weeks time I'm just going to give up. I get what you mean, I cannot be arsed with this shit anymore. Why do we even put ourselves through it? TTC has consumed my entire life so much so that it's all I focus on. I don't concentrate on anything else, even my job. Anyone who says 'stop trying' is crazy! OF COURSEEE we are going to have an idea of when we are ovulating still etc. I'm just going to start taking the pill again after this cycle and therefore I really can stop trying.

I've been a bit quiet the last few days, not been feeling too great and I've been gutting the house. Moved all the furniture around in the dressing room, gutted the wardrobes.

Beau20 · 16/02/2020 12:03

PS. Probs feeling like a sack of shit because I've halved my anti-depressant dosage as now I'm convinced that's stopping me getting pregnant 😂😂 I'm totally cured but I become a manic paranoid catastophiser when I'm off 😂

Mumofboys17 · 16/02/2020 19:32

@Beau20 I just don't understand it anymore. I look at my chart and I'm like... surely that should have been enough?! (O day is the yellow dot). Don't get why it's so bloody difficult tbh it's not fair 😫
It's helped having a nice day today, spent money on treats for myself (which I NEVER do) and had a lovely lunch with friends. I'm still pissed off and feel cheated out of this cycle but it's life I guess!
It's all so stupid stupid bloody stupid 🙁

Beau20 · 16/02/2020 19:39

@Mumofboys17 yep I'd say that's a pretty near perfect TTC month! You are only 9DPO, it may be too early. Hold out a little longer 💕

Ange211 · 16/02/2020 19:47

Aw @Mumofboys17 TTC is shit. It will happen but it's total shit until it does.
In other news I'm going to f*ING kill my dh. Was supposed to collect ds1 from band practice at 7.30pm teacher phones so I phone him.... .I'm just going for him now!!! So bloody rude and I'm left making apologies for him. Worse the teacher is a sodding volunteer who gives up enough of her time without this!
It's like he's on his own time zone & sod everyone else. Grrrr 😡

Mumofboys17 · 16/02/2020 20:39

@Beau20 you'd bloody think so wouldn't you! 🙄 wish my body would just do what I wanted it to do!! I'm done ranting, no more moaning this cycle haha what will be will be 😂

@Ange211 fml bloody men!! I know what you mean. My DH is like 'yeah I'm going to do early morning gym sessions this week'... so that leaves me to get myself and DS ready for nursery, leave the house by 07:15 earliest to do the nursery drop off and get to work on time by 8am... it's fine though because 'he'll be home in the evening'! 😒 just... urgh.
