@Jackandoliver13 ooooh 30 isn't old at all, I'm 36 🤣🤣🤣 took us 2 months the first time, about half a year now. Difficult to say with hubby offshore so now always home at the right times etc. But i draw the line at 2 babies! Unless this is twins, then I have no choice 😂

ArjaD · 19/04/2020 21:10

*not, not now

Sungirl11 · 19/04/2020 21:55

@Jackandoliver13 wow 4! You are brave!
I'm 32 in a few days and still going for num1! Haha i am old!! And it's taking ages... a whole year this month it's been 🙈
But i don't think it has to do with age... you might have it easier🤞🏼
In this group i think no one has more than 2 🧐 so you will have to let us know how it is haha

Donnat89 · 19/04/2020 22:00

Evening ladies , hope everyone is ok .

I'm starting to get quite crampy this evening which is about right a few days before AF so patiently waiting for her to arrive , I am feeling hopeful she will come on time this month so I'm not testing unless for some bizarre reason she's late !

I really hope you are all Oki xx

Jackandoliver13 · 19/04/2020 22:00

We're trying for third but my partners first he's raised my girls, 8th month trying and being honest it's breaking us, lots of tears after two misscarriages and then 2 chemicals xx

Carol1980 · 19/04/2020 23:07

Jesus if 30 is old them I'm a freaking geriatric at 39 😳

NicoleR14 · 19/04/2020 23:38

There's new mums out there in their late 40s I don't believe 30-42 is old for having babies!

30 is so not old!! I'm 30 dh is 36. Trying for our first. You're not old @Carol1980 😂 I feel like my life is only just beginning. Everyone is on different journeys @shelly10111 I'm sorry you've had a hard time. It consumes me so I can't imagine how you must feel. Xxx

Bbutterfly · 19/04/2020 23:39

How you feeling @NicoleR14 and @dizzy85 x

NicoleR14 · 19/04/2020 23:43

@Bbutterfly feeling not to bad cramps have left again I'm feeling all over the place it has been the most horrible 7 and a half weeks of my life! Nearly 2 missed periods a faint bfp and a stark white bfn I feel like my body is having fun playing tricks on me lol how are you doing?

OP posts:
Bbutterfly · 19/04/2020 23:52

Let's hope af arrives sooner rather than later @NicoleR14 and you can start again, it's still so strange. And so hard when you have no idea why your body has done this. It will regulate itself ♥️
my af not due till May 2nd but my cycle been a bit weird this time so who knows, around 2dpo so the dreaded tww has started. Xx

NicoleR14 · 19/04/2020 23:59

@Bbutterfly I'd rather have a bfp but if af is going to come I wish she'd come now rather than make me wait any longer she is due in 8 days again and I can't see her making an appearance then either I think it's playing off my emotions! Hopefully you get your bfp this month and the luck of these ladies rub off on you it is worrying times falling pregnant with all that's going on in the world but it's something we all want and can't put off no matter how much we try my hubby was asking me tonight if I feel ready to take another test he's convinced something must be in there because of af not arriving and the test having 2 lines I could explain it to him a thousand times over he just does not get it lol

Sungirl11 · 20/04/2020 06:49

Morning ladies!
Hope you are all well.
After 8 days, this morning the most painful period has appeared... i can't even sleep 😰😩
Fresh start for me now, no 2020 baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

Carol1980 · 20/04/2020 09:38

@Sungirl11 gutted for you xx

I didn't even realise that if I got pregnant this month it would be a 2021 baby !

I'm cd7 and I decided this month to test my ovulation earlier due to my cycle appearing to be a little all over the place in terms of length, anyway got a bloody flashing smiley this morning !
Normally this wouldn't be an issue....but my hubby is at work and not home till Wednesday !! Hopefully I don't end up ovulating early this month especially with him being away from home 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Donnat89 · 20/04/2020 09:43

@Sungirl11 sorry AF has arrived , I'm patiently waiting for mine she is due Wednesday.

I'm feeling ok today just playing the waiting game !

@dizzy85 how are you ?

@NicoleR14 I really hope you have answers soon xxxx

NicoleR14 · 20/04/2020 09:52

@sungirl11 sorry to hear that hun at least you can get back to trying again! I was talking to my in laws and my mother in laws nephew and wife had tried for over 2 years to have a baby they were both very young they started at 18 and didn't fall until they were 20 and had absolutely nothing wrong with them they just couldn't fall pregnant another one of her nieces tried for 3 years no luck she was 21 her and her husband paid for ivf the day before she went for her treatment she found out she was 3 weeks pregnant there wasn't anything wrong with both of them just couldn't fall once they had given up and decided to try other things it happened for them it's strange how it all works but your time will come round soon enough! @donnat89 I'm considering calling my gp I know they can't do anything to help at the moment but I'm not sure what to do! How are you feeling this morning?

ArjaD · 20/04/2020 10:23

@Sungirl11 awww soooo sorry af showed up Mrs 😞 Paracetamol and lots of rest. The witch is being unkind.
@dizzy85 you ok ? Xxx

Sungirl11 · 20/04/2020 10:58

Thanks girls! It's ok... besides this awful pain i'm ok.
I have bought all sorts of stuff haha 😅
Pressed (ofcourse), clearblue ovulation kit, all the vitamins...
I have been looking through my notes and on the 3/4th i had like egcm which normally means you are ovulating, if i ovulated that late then af would be sort of correct by now... but as i didn't track and followed my apps then i don't know. I was going to stop tracking but after this "nightmare" i am going to track again... i'd rather be informes of what is going on than be in limbo haha
Loads of luck to everyone!!
2021 babies on their way! 💫

Donnat89 · 20/04/2020 11:19

@NicoleR14 yea I'm feeling good thanks just sort of waiting for AF now .

Not feeling anything at the moment but just know she's on her way .

I would call the GP and just speak to them might just help you feel better .

Yea I've known a few people who have taken years TTC and there is no reason behind it , it just then happens like magic just got To keep the faith !

Xx

shelly10111 · 20/04/2020 11:50

Oh ladies so much going on this month I want the bro's to keep coming ! :( I'm 6dpo but already feel out as I'm cramping, always cramping from 7dpo :(

ArjaD · 20/04/2020 12:04

I'm getting stressed trying to phone round here. The reception here has gotten so bad since lockdown, I think the network can't cope. Took me ages to get through to to gp for that reason, got given a number to call to book a midwife appt and i keep getting their voicemail. When they tried to call me it went straight to my vmail as no reception again and now I can't get hold of them again! I'll email them and hope that goes through. Uggghhhhh. Been at this for hours.

NicoleR14 · 20/04/2020 12:09

@ArjaD that sounds terrible! My gp is the same at the moment I decided not to call them considering getting another test just to be on the safe side but don't want to at the same time! Hopefully you get through to them soon enough and get your appointment booked!
@dizzy85 how are you did you call your gp this morning?

Hi everyone sorry been abit quiet, nothing much has changed I'm still spotting just the same so day 4 of that now. I couldn't get any frers yesterday the chemist was shut so we are going out today to get some and I've not rang the drs yet I kind of want to do a test first so I can tell him the results. I feel quite crappy today as in feeling exhausted and headache and I've been sooo cold this past week I think it's the hormones as I vaguely remember my first pregnancy being really cold so currently sat in bed with a hotwater bottle and a thick jumper.
Hope everyone is ok?
I've not read back through properly yet but just seen @Sungirl11 so sorry your af came I hope your ok x
