[Anny27]

Hi ladies,

Setting up the new thread for us as we approaching the end of the old one!

@lottiepink

And a few others who I can't remember their username from memory so please tag yourself :D

Thanks for the welcome @Lozzlepop it was 2 weeks from him dropping the sample off to getting a message saying a GP appointment had been made for 2 days later to discuss results. Typical man wouldn't ring up though so not sure if they were back before this!
@CoalCraft same here, the thought of CrossFit makes me feel out of breathe! Really need to do more exercise!

Hey ladies! Just catching up, work has been absolutely mental this week with that lovely sunshine ☀️

@Anny27 yes first day of my FW today! Expected to ovulate Tuesday/Wednesday. Has some EWCM today tho and I logged it in fem and then had to take it out again as it moved my ovulation to today 🤷🏼‍♀️ no idea why it does that! How are you, is AF gone? The coronavirus thing is freaking me out I'm flat out on the hand sanitiser 😂 I'm glad I have nothing booked or I would be worried.

@Lottiepink yea I have to go to my GP surgery and I think the nurse will prob do it, wish I could myself it would be so much handier!

@Lozzlepop have you got DPs results yet?

@FarmerWantsABaby hope you're feeling okay!

@Kiza are you in the TWW?

So CD10 today and we are doing the "relaxed approach" 3 times a week every week so we aren't going to go mad at it here this next few days, I'll try what the Dr said. Also havent been overthinking this week as I haven't had the time so that's a good thing!!

Also got my letter to get my swabs done so hopefully I can get them done in the next 2 weeks before AF is due!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Also forgot to add welcome to all the new ladies, I look forward to chatting to you all! 😁

@Lozzlepop @rathernotshare Thank you DH and I are over the moon! Can't wait to just be in the new house now ☺️ 2 and a bit weeks to wait

@Narwhal88 I'll go for a nice walk into town and that'll be exercise enough for me

Hi all can I join. No threads seem to fit lately but this one looks good.

22 months ttc and feel like I’m actually beginning to lose my mind! I have obviously struggled throughout, but it just seems to be getting harder and harder to pick myself back up and stay up beat. Especially when everyone around me are either preg go or just popping out babies for fun. This ‘journey’ can be very lonely so would be nice to have a little support ☺️

Happy new home @CoalCraft that is great news

@Carley321 Welcome, sorry you've been waiting do long, keep hoping X

@KrissyMB thank you!

@CoalCraft 2 weeks will fly by and you'll be moved in on time and ready for summer! Have you a garden? We moved in September there to a bungalow in the country from an apartment in town and I'm so happy to have a garden! I can't wait to buy plants and patio furniture 🤣☀️

@Carley321 have you been on other threads I recognise your name? I'm sorry you have been trying so long it's very frustrating isn't it, we are on cycle 15/16 I've lost count! People who get pregnant first try or by accident piss me off 😕 Have you been to your GP for any tests?

Thank you @CoalCraft and @whatsthecraic91 it is very hard.

Yea I firstly had blood which looked all ok then a hsg which suggested a blocked Fallopian tube 🙁 then a cycle of ultrasound scanning which I didn’t ovulate for and now waiting for a lap and dye. In desperate hope for some positive news 🙏.

I’ve literally never known time to go so quick as since starting ttc 🙈. It’s scares the hell out of me. It pisses me off to @whatsthecraic91 lovely for them, shite for me lol.

How long has everyone been ttc? What’s your journey been? I hate that It even has to be a bloody journey!!

Morning ladies!

@Narwhal88 wow I thought they would have come back sooner than this considering the bloody sample has to be dropped off within the hour 😂😂

@whatsthecraic91 not yet- I couldn’t get a quiet place to call yesterday so will do it on Monday! That’s good that you have your letter now!

@CoalCraft oh that’s amazing, best when you don’t have a long wait, guessing you’ll be consumed with packing this weekend?

@Carley321 hello and welcome, sorry to hear you have been having a rough time of it! We are 15 months in and currently undergoing tests as we have had 4 miscarriages since May of last year 😔 its a thought journey and I never thought it would be as hard as this

Morning ladies! Cd5 so last day of period for me!

@Carley321 hopefully you get some answers soon! we have been trying for 10 months now. Conceived in September and had a MMC at 11.5 weeks in November. Had a month off and have been ttc again. Yep I wish I was one of those women who DTD once 5 days before ovulation and then caught first time haha!

@CoalCraft congrats on your house! Will hopefully keep you distracted through ttc if you have the house to focus on! 💗

@whatsthecraic91 ooh fertile week 🙌 yep i hate that femometer does that!!! I have 3-5 days of EWCM so I 100% know that the first day doesnt mean ovulating haha.

@timswifey how did your follow up go lovely?

@lozzlepop new cycle and new chance hopefully! Just feel like I put a lot of things in hold due to ttc!

@kiza hopefully managing to distract yourself in the tww

Hope @orangeloo and @validuser are doing okay, not heard from them for a while xx

@whatsthecraic91 Yep! In our current house we have just a small paved patio but the new one has a lovely lawn and some flower beds, am so looking forward to enjoying them ☺️

@Lozzlepop Yup, spending all weekend preparing lol, so much to do! But all for a good thing

@Anny27 Yes it's worked out pretty well; have the house to focus on while body is sorting itself out after stopping the pill, and will be all settled in by the time of any pregnancy ☺️

Huge hugs to those who've been waiting a long time, hoping so hard for positive news for everyone ❤️

@Lozzlepop @Anny27 well that's how our consultant worked it out anyway.
@Anny27 yep in TWW- your favourite time of the month 🤪

@Carley321 we are now in cycle 19 and have undergone all testing and investigations with a 2nd appointment with our consultant on 23rd March. If all continues to look good we will be referred for IVF due to our age. Sounds like you've had a right journey already! The women on this thread are lovely and there's a few of us who have been kicking around for a while and feel similar in that I'd love to be so happy for anyone who gets pregnant but can't help feel jealous or disappointed when it seems so easy for others and so hard for some of us

@CoalCraft congrats on the house, great time to start prepping and nesting 😊

@whatsthecraic91 same as you in that work has seemed super busy and flown by! Pretty stressful work week for sure! Sounds like a really good approach you have there so as to not put too much pressure on yourselves. This cycle was the first time we didn't do SMEP in a long time and instead just tried every 2-3 days over a 2 week period.

I'm really tempted to test tomorrow, mainly due to this really sore right boob pain but AF isn't due until Thursday so still waaaaay too early!

Hello, hope you dont mind me joining. I am 27 and TTC my first baby, I have irregular periods I'm yet to get a positive OPK. But today I took a pregnancy test just because I had one and hadn't taken one for a month and saw this. Is it a evaporation line ?? I used that app to change it also took another right after nothing was on that one but I assume this means nothing but any ideas? Thanks xx

@Lozzlepop I know right! They have to test it straight away so the delay must just be admin! It's been such a shit few days since we found out the results I'm glad I didn't find out sooner tbh.

@Carley321 I think we have spoken on another thread previously, I changed my username, it was makeafamily19. So sorry you still aren't much further along. We had bad news this week from DH SA, basically really low everything so a low chance of naturally conceiving.

CD1 for me as AF just arrived. We are making some lifestyle changes after the SA results. My fridge has never looked so healthy! DH has also given up caffeine which is making him quite irritable! Cycle 11 here we go....

I feel so sick today. Days like today make me think lord I hope I don't have bad morning sickness when the time comes as I'm not sure I'll make it! I'm such a baby when it comes to feeling sick 🤢

@rathernotshare I feel you on hoping not to get bad morning sickness - I hate being sick so much! I'm clinging to the hope that because my mum didn't get any sickness at all, I won't either!

Morning everyone,

Busy weekend so just catching up 😊

@Carley321 welcome, I'm sure you will fit into this group, as there's a lot of us on here that have been trying for a long time too!

@CoalCraft congratulations, how exciting!

@Narwhal88 sorry the SA came back low, it's awful isn't it, think the men take it harder having something wrong with their sperm, my DH took it hard, but seems better now thankfully!

Cd 18 today and I think this is getting classed as ovulation, but I'm not 100% until temps confirm it, I think it's either yesterday or today. It's later than last few months, but I had a really stressful week last week with work, and I think it's delayed it! Dtd plenty so who knows 😂 I often wonder tho if doing it too much has a negative effect 🙈😂

@CoalCraft I daren't ask my mum as I've told her we're not trying yet, every since we got married that's all anyone's been asking! I have members of staff (all men) asking when I'm having kids as they want my job when I go on maternity leave, so inappropriate! So I'm trying to nip it all in the bud and not raise suspicions... we've only just started trying but if people were saying it a year down the line I'm not sure how well I'd handle it! 🤔

@rathernotshare People can be so nosy, can't they!? My family are always asking but the reason I say we're not trying is cause I'm afraid my mum would disapprove and try and dissuade me. She wants me to focus on my career and not have kids till a lot later in life. I only know she didn't have any sickness cause she's mentioned it in passing in previous conversations.

I just wish people wouldn't have opinions about me having kids either way! Or at least not share them with me in a pushy way lol

Sorry you've had to put up with it in work too though, that's not on

@CoalCraft that sucks your mum would think that, hopefully she will be super excited when the time comes. Next time someone asks I may just say 'are you asking if I'm having unprotected sex?' And see how they respond!

Evening :D cd6 today so AF gone 🙌🙌

@Lottiepink thata good you have done lots of DTD :D

@CoalCraft is this your first house? I loved decorating and getting everything sorted

@rathernotshare it's getting to the point now where I am gonna start saying "we had a miscarriage 3 months ago but thanks for reminding us". Gettjng reaaaaaaaly sick of people asking when we want a baby and also anytime I dont drink people are like ooooh. So annoying haha

@Kiza hahaha I find tww less stress than waiting for ovulation strangely! Did your temptation to test happen??

@Annny27 I genuinely don't think people realise what a personal question it is! Good luck for your new cycle!

@Annny27 luckily I reasoned with my own mind and didn't test. Going to try really hard and wait until AF is due on Thursday.
I just wish none of it was stressful! Hope you've had a nice weekend ☺️

@rathernotshare I'd love to have the courage to say something like that to people, especially as I'm 39 people make comments allllllll the time!

@Lottiepink depends what you mean by too much 😆 I think they say every day for a sustained period is probs a bit too much but every other day is fine.

@Kiza I haven't said it yet but it's always on the tip of my tongue 😂 my husbands mum is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, she's been suggesting baby names since the engagement! Might have to ask her if she thinks about me having sex with her son often 💁‍♀️
