Second thread for ttc!

[NicoleR14]

@dizzy85 @ArjaD @donnat89 @sungirl11 @Nmew I need to have a look see who else is on our last thread lol

I see the tiniest something @NicoleR14 but can’t tell if it’s evap or first sign of bfp. These cheapies can be so deceiving. I’ve had line eyes tons with them, but I’ve attached my cheapie that turned out to be a positive, for comparison.

Thank yous @Nmew @donnat89 I can see them better in person but af is due today surely It would of been stronger I'm driving myself up the walls for nothing I know I am plus I have a uti so I've been peeing every 2 mins!

I know for some it can take until after missed AF to get a clear bfp, I have all my fingers crossed that this is the case for you and the witch stays away!

@Nmew thank you but I'm 2 days late I had cramping last night and expected af to be here this morning but nope nothing and my boobs still hurt I've done 2 ic and they are clear bfn's!

I've just read this original thread in google and can't believe I caught up to where you are now can I please jump on ladies 😂? 11dpo BFN :( 7 months TTC our third and final child, exhausting when both of them were conceived first month first try 🤦🏼‍♀️😭

@shelly10111 welcome 😂 can't believe our thread comes up on Google 😂! We're all on the same boat here me and my dh have been ttc out first for over 6 months now and I am currently 2 dates late for af and no signs of a bfp anywhere! You've still got hope for a bfp if your only 11dpo though!

Welcome @shelly10111 ! I also have 2 children who I conceived first time round! I’m 13dpo. BFN @ 11dpo so I’m just hanging in there now to see what happens tomorrow. Not a symptom in sight so not holding my breath!

How are you feeling @NicoleR14 ?

Hello everyone! This is my first post. It’s been lovely to read through everyone’s stories and share your journey, it’s made me not feel so alone. I have been TTC for 5 months now, just taken a negative test this morning. for the first time since trying my Husband looked really upset. I know it’s still early days but that doesn’t stop the disappointment. Does anyone else find the prospect of going through another month of waiting quite daunting? X

@Littlepeas2 oh wow how crazy how familiar we are ! Finding it so emotional, had lots of tugging and pulling this month so really thought it was my month but bfn 11dpo so I'm already feeling out xx

@NicoleR14 I know I was stalking your story to see if you finally got you bfp haha yep we're on month 7 it's so emotional, so blessed to already have children but still heartbreak, had awful cramps 9dpo I was hoping that may have been implantation xx

Hi girls!
Welcome @lottiesland91 and @shelly10111 !!
Here been trying for a year now... first child for both hubby and I. And nothing!
We started testing but with covid they have stopped tests as it's not essential!
Will have to keep on trying while we wait 🤷🏻‍♀️ we're 31/35 so don't want it to take a lot longer as we would like more that 1kid...
Keep your hopes up! We need to stay strong! This thread is also very helpful as we keep each other in good company. Xx

@Sungirl11 so nice to chat to those who actually get it, love my partner but he never really gets the heartache if that makes sense it's like an obsession for us woman and I feel like such a failure too, has anyone had any tests? we've ordered a sperm checker online for like £5 - just says it's it's high count or not, I have perfect 28 day cycles and ovulating bang on time etc, I've had 3 chemicals and one early misscarriage, just not having any luck :( xxx

Hi ladies,

Would it be ok if I joined ?

I'm 39, ttc no 2, we have just got our smiley face static one on our OPK, weirdly I got a flashing smiley yesterday morning and because you can test more after the flashing smiley I decided to test at 9pm last night and got my static one.

Despite all the madness out there just now we're still hoping to get pregnant x

Hey @shelly10111 I'm sorry to read all of your bad luck. I hope you get your bfp this month there is still time. My af showed up on time today. So depressing. Ovulation due 16th April. Here we go again another long 33 day cycle. @NicoleR14 any update? @Nmew nice to hear from you! Good to have your pic to hand too! Hope all is good your end. Xx

Hey @Carol1980 welcome to the nut house. I hope you are getting busy today 😂 fingers crossed today is your day! X

Slightly embarrassing actually..........hubby would go total mental if he knew I had posted this !!

So we DTD last night....hubby is early 40's, and well he had no issue last at all with getting up....but after 40 mins or so and despite trying every position that we can manage, he doesn't ejaculate 😬 this is now happening often, I've spoken to him about it and reassured him that it's obviously just the stress of TTC etc but I have zero freaking idea of what to do right now !

Sorry for the information overload, I'm putting a brace face on it for him but it's seriously beginning to upset me, he says it's absolutely it my fault but you know us women, I can't help but blame myself that I'm doing something wrong

Sorry that should have read that he's saying it's NOT my fault but I blame myself in some way anyway x

@Carol1980 oh my god we've had similar problem as in I think he gets too over whelmed by it being so serious, have you tried something to break it up and sounds crude but spicing it up a bit just to cause a different reaction and a distraction on him from just knowing he has to ejaculate? Unfortunately we had to go back bring

@Carol1980 go back to making it feel new, different positions didnt work so maybe explore eachother a bit more 🙈 - seemed to work and take the pressure off as he was getting really fed up with me and himself 😂

Omg we're not the only ones 😂 honestly it's just so hard !
I've had conversations with him about what I could do to, asked him if there is something I could do that would seriously turn him on and he says he's completely turned on by me and that it's almost like he has a mental block !
He's described it as he can feel it building up and nearly getting there then something happens like his leg starts cramping, or he just gets so tired or for some reason it just feels like it goes back down if that makes sense x
Hes suggested we try get our daughter down for a nap in a wee bit and try again but I'm honestly so disheartened but it all just now, that's now two days in a row and I'm conscious of the fact that I'm now ovulating and our window is rapidly closing which again puts pressure on him, but he said I can't not tell him when I'm ovulating as how will he know when is the right time 🤷‍♀️
Last month it got so bad that his penis was chaffed !! So it became sore for him and we just gave up x

I'm at a loss as to how to spice things up to be honest, we're not the most adventurous but maybe I should try just lots of foreplay today and then see what happens x
This might sound really selfish but honestly don't think I could manage another 40+ mins session !

We have pre-seed, and I'm having to re-apply halfway through our sessions right now 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@NicoleR14 did you test again? @Bbutterfly sorry your af turned up x

Hello all the new people 👋🏼 wishing you luck!

How's everyone else doing?

Changing the subject slightly but how's everyone coping in this lockdown? I've been at home since Monday and starting to feel insane 🤪 if it wasn't for a painting I'm working on keeping me distracted then I think I would have lost my mind!

Hi ladies! So much to catch up on 😂🙈 this is my tests from an hour ago photos was taken within 3 mins of being done but I don't know what to think af is now 2 days late I have some slight pain at my left side of my pelvis but no af type cramps 🤦🏼‍♀️

@NicoleR14

On your inverted pic you can just about make out something ❤️🤞🤞

I would probably wait and test tomorrow if you can hold out x hcg doubles every 48 hours so you might get a more positive result x

@carol1980 something did come up as soon as the dye started to run I don't want to buy a frer incase af arrives but at the same time I'd get a clearer result with one of those 🤦🏼‍♀️I'm either 15dpo or 16dpo I would of thought if I was pregnant it would of been a bfp by now!
