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

@gemloubag hm can't say I've had anything like that, but skipping a period or changes like that could be to do with stress - and there's a lot of it right now. You can have spotting around ovulating too, i do sometimes. Maybe the gp can help? Hormones are a confusing thing!
@NicoleR14 how are you holding up?

Hi ladies just updating - partners sperm test was positive, waiting for my results tomorrow or weds 🥵

@shelly10111 excellent glad his swimmers are awesome 😉

Still nothing this end x feel like I'm overly aware of what my body is doing x been having the odd cramp/ twinge here and there in my pelvis but 🤷‍♀️

I really hope I manage to sleep ok tonight x the past 2 nights have been freaking horrendous!! And I'm back shift so it's not helping that I'm tired as hell !! X

Oh @Carol1980 how awful :( how many dpo are you now? Yes that's good news but I'm nervous about my bloods, I feel like we're going to be fine and it's just taking a long while which is what I'm hoping for ! Xx

Get yourself in the mindset of plan for the worst but hope for the best x
You'll be fine love x

Hi All,

New to mumsnet.. I hope you don’t mind me posting. I have been trying to conceive for 5 months now, last month had a faint positive which as they days progressed got fainter and then finally I got a my period. Dr say possible chemical pregnancy.

Really struggling at the moment, finding it hard to stay positive. Looking for any tips, just other people in the same situation.

Hope everyone is staying safe
Xxx

Morning ladies hope you are all well ?

Today is ovulation day for me but we DTD last night and have been doing every2 days since AF finished so hoping we've covered all bases !

Will probably try to do every other day / every day until end of the week just to make sure we've defo caught
Ovulation then it will just be a waiting game

@NicoleR14 sorry to hear about the no show AF how frustrating! I hope you get
Your BFP soon !

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well ! Xxx

Evening everyone!
I'm 9DPO and i'm starting to have af symptoms now...
I want to try and see if i can get my last blood test (2days into af). I will call tomorrow to my GP and try my luck...
fingers crossed!
How are you girls doing?

Hi ladies I am currently 12 days late for af and she's still a no show and deffo not pregnant still don't know where to start as I have been getting negative opks as well trying to hold on to some kind of hope but I feel emotionally drained with it all! @dizzy85 have you tested yet?

@NicoleR14
Have you started testing opk's on the date that would would have had af shown up ?
If not I would wait until that date to do the opk's unless you've been told differently x
I wish I had an answer for you as to why your so late x it must be horrendous frustrating x

@NicoleR14 I can't believe your AF is a no show and no BFP no wonder you feel so drained ! Xxx

@carol1980 I have been using opks since the 1st of April my af was due on the 28th all been neg and pregnancy tests been neg as well so I'm not exactly sure what to do! @donnat89 I wish I knew what was causing it I have kinda blanked out for everything going on in the world including family to see if I can reduce my stress levels and help with bringing on af but nothing!

@NicoleR14 sorry you still have no af and no answers, the only thing I can think of is stress I've had it myself before it's horrible. If I was you I'd really try to put it out of your mind and try keeping yourself as busy as possible I know that's hard especially in lockdown too but maybe if you can find something fun to do that you enjoy it might distract you enough and get things going naturally again.
I've not tested just waiting af is due tomorrow and no signs yet but also no symptoms either still I dunno if I'll test tomorrow or just wait and see.

@Sungirl11 @Carol1980 @ArjaD thanks ladies and fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@NicolaBx hey welcome to the group, sorry to hear your struggling at the moment this ttc is a definite rollercoaster of emotions. And sorry about your chemical pregnancy too, i had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and last year a MMC so I know how you feel. I have been ttc for ages now so I don't have any useful advice that works lol other than I guess just try to relax and don't overthink but I know it's an impossible task when it's something you want so bad.
But it does help joining these groups on here coz it's nice to know your not alone x

Morning all, lots going on on this thread! Hope you are all doing ok. @NicoleR14 I'm really hoping you get some clarity soon, it sounds so stressful 😔 are you ok?
3dpo here and just taking it as it comes, we've been quite chilled the last week.

@dizzy85 I hope so too! I've been reading alot trying to distract myself I stopped sewing as all I was sewing was baby clothes and it was driving me insane! So I'm going to give reading a go and continue with my opks and dtd! I'm reluctant to test again but at the same time it's all I can think about but I know I'm not pregnant 🙄how are you doing? I hope you get your bfp this month! @ArjaD yeah I'm doing OK well trying to 😂how are you doing how long is hubby home for is he getting a break because of this virus?

Hey can I join? I’m only 2DPO, me and the DH (darling husband) have been trying for 4 years with no luck, we were meant to be starting IVF this month(due to low morphology) but has been postponed due to COVID. With us both being at home this month, we have given it a good shot. Only got one positive opk and negatives either side. Feeling realistic but forever hopeful.

@NicoleR14 no he works offshore so he's always home à few weeks then away a few weeks. That will carry on for now. Aw I've been reading a lot more too. And painting the fence 😂😂😂 trying not to wonder 'what if' too much this month which is hard enough..

Glad you girls are keeping yourselves distracted! I am all day baking sponge cakes for husband to take to work haha they love a little sugar injection before their shift!
@ArjaD how is wee one doing? A bit better now after all this time? Hope so.
@NicoleR14 i have never missed af before like that and it's sooo weird! It will just mes you up a bit but try not to worry too much as it won't help. I'm glad you keep yourself distracted.
@Megan1591 welcome to the fun boat! Wow 4 years is a lot! For us it's one year now and i have had my blood tests posponed too... hope this ends soon and you can get your IVF.
@dizzy85 how are you? Any signs of af or a big suprise? fingers crossed!

Hi everyone,
Hope you don’t mind me joining your thread @NicolaBx I’m also new to mumsnet and ttc. Nice to see a group like this of people in the same situation where we can share and support each other. We’ve been ttc for over a year now and have been actively monitoring ovulation taken vitamins etc for over 6 months. I’m 39 and my other half is 31, I had my bloods and an internal ultra sound done late last year and all seamed fine so without doing any other tests have been trying to improve the quality of my eggs, read it starts without the egg and then changed the vitamins I was taking 2 months ago to include cq10, alpha lipoid acid and changed to proceive max women. I also started seeing an acupuncturist (had 2 sessions but has now stopped due to covid19) and she also advise different things to eat at different points in my cycle. My dh was due to get sperminal analysis which is now also on hold due to the current situation.
Feel like I live my life in 2 week cycles between waiting for my ovulation window then waiting in hope that my period doesn’t start. Currently in my ovulation window right now and my test showed a smiley flashing face this morning, first time I’ve ever had a flashing face normal I get a circle or just a static smiley face.
Thought it’d be good to see how other people are coping with the current situation putting a lot of things on hold and also any advice anyone has.
Xxx

@Sungirl11 yeah he's OK. Good and bad days but I hope he is getting used to it a bit. 🤣 How's you? Where are you now in your cycle?

@ArjaD 10dpo! But no hopes haha

1DPO today .... we've done all we can this cycle so now just get through the dread TWW I hate this part of my cycle but I'm
Trying to keep busy ! X

It's all we can do. I've even been cooking, and I hate cooking😂😂😂 cutting down on caffeine though, just having one cuppa a day and the rest is decaf, it's making me snoozy😴
