7 months ttc (cont of 6 months ttc)

[Twinkletoes85]

Hi ladies,

Following on from our 6 months ttc thread, for anyone wanting to join in it’s just a group of us who have gone past the 6/7 month mark ttc looking to chat and support each other. All welcome 😊

Period power, the book I'm listening to, calls estrogen - in the first half of the cycle - Beyonce because it makes you feel confident, outgoing and sassy. Progesterone - in the second half - is kristen stewart. All introverted, quiet and likes to stay home.
I know this is quite odd but it fits so well with my monthly moods! Hormones, eh?!

I hope you feel better soon @kk25129

@Hoping41 definitely in my kristen Stewart eating chocolate stage at 9dpo 🤣🤣

@Hoping41 I downloaded that book last night on your recommendation. Its funny, I feel great just before ovulation, but really wish I felt the same the rest of the month! I wonder are some people more sensitive to hormones and suffer hormonal mood swings more.

I am also reading it! Whoever it was that originally mentioned it, Thank You!!
I have always known I'm not quite right and suspected hormones.
And I thought I knew my stuff but this book is just wonderful in how it explains things.

@Posy1 I'm sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Look after yourself. It's so weird because I dont remember ever having it before. Maybe it's something to do with supplements I'm taking making hormones worse

@KK251289 its difficult to know isn't it. I take supplements too and always question how they are impacting things. It could be that we are just more aware of our bodies with tracking ovulation etc. The stress of TTC probably amplifies things too I think! How are you feeling now? Hope you have a nice relaxed evening planned.
It hasn't helped me here that OH didn't book his semen analysis in time today and all the slots are gone now until more are released. So frustrating. 😖

@posy1 I guess you're right, I'm definitely more aware of everything, I spend pretty much all day every day thinking about TTC. I'm much better now, OH cooked me steak and just chilling out in front of the TV. I'm sorry he didnt book his analysis on time, is it possible people may cancel and he might get one sooner? Hopefully it's a sign that you wont need it and you'll get a BFP soon. Sending you loads of luck.

Anyone getting recurring uti's with all this bding? I think I have one at present, just started using pre seed too so maybe that's a contributing factor, not sure! 🙈🙈

morning:) 10dpo for me but no real symptoms- but thats never a true indicator haha

@Aokbaby I am not prone to utis but I know some women who are get them more often when ttc!

@DSC1 are you having any symptoms at 10dpo or non as well? Haha

Anyone else due to test soon?

Oh that's rough @Aokbaby dont get them myself but more BD would make sense for more UTIs I guess. Lots of water and rest and take it easy?

@Annny27 10 DPO here also. No symptoms either but I'm actively avoiding thinking about them as they drive me nuts by the time AF comes and then the disappointment is mega. How you feeling? When is AF for you? I'm still not due another 7 days so the wait game is real!

Good morning everyone!
My cycle buddies @Annny27 @Seafrontsky no real symptoms either. What day are you due on? According to Flo I’m due mon but that would make my cycle 27 days and I vary 27-29 days and also ovulated a day or so after Flo predicted so think Weds more likely. I’m also thinking that if I don’t fall this month I may give the OPKs a miss this month... we will see.

@Aokbaby are you waiting to wee after DTD if you are in your FW? That could possibly be causing them

Supposedly due on Wednesday but could be earlier! @dsc1 @seafrontsky

I am feeling fairly calm tbh!

@Annny27 I feel like this group is due some BFPs, especially with all the great tips that people have been sharing. Fingers crossed for us all.

@DSC1 I was thinking that but I always go straight after, maybe wait max 5 mins to give the swimmers a better chance. Girls you're so lucky if you don't get them, horrible old things @seafrontsky @Annny27.

Fingers crossed this is your month to all in tww, as @DSC1 said we are due some bfp in this group 💕

@Aokbaby I've had one uti since ttc, awful things! Sorry to hear you think you've got one.

I've got my fingers crossed for all of you due on this week that we see some bfps!!

@Aokbaby I’ve had one uti since TTC and that was only when I used conceive plus internally. A few women have had that problem from what I hear. I have no problems with preseed though. It prob doesn’t help not peeing straight after either! Get some cranberry juice down you!

They sound nasty @Annny27. I'm prone to thrush so not completely free from discomfort down there! For months and months it would only flare up around ovulation. Was so annoying!

I do hope so too! @DSC1 @Twinkletoes85

My friend had her baby last night! She had mentioned having back ache yesterday and I wondered. I messaged her this morning to complain we had another leak and she messaged back that she gave birth!!

I'm glad it happened just as I'm coming into my fw and feeling positive. I'm actually quiet excited to see photos

@Nat4392 what do you think of preeseed? I've only used it twice and was expecting it to be runny/run out but it didn't (maybe tmi) definitely made things a bit easier down there. How much have you been using?

Yea @Seafrontsky haven't ruled out that it's thrush either, gonna see if I can get urine tested on Mon as I hate taking abs especially if I don't need to

Just wanted to join this - as the scary world of TTC gets me down some days!

We’ve been ‘casually’ trying for 4 months and 2 months of really trying.
I’ve been to the doctors and found out I have cysts on my left ovary so now I’m in a spin and researching like a crazy person!

I never ever thought it would be like this

@Aokbaby sorry to hear about the uti. I'm surprised I dont get them as I sometimes wait a half hour to pee.

All of you coming to the end of tww, everything crossed for you, we defo need a group bfp!

@Twinkletoes85 that's great for your friend and glad it has come at a good time for you. Definitely the thought of it and dreading is worse and when the moment comes you're actually well able to deal with it

Welcome @mrskrd this is a lovely group. We are all in the same boat, I don't think I ever dreamed it would be this hard or be so emotional! Sorry to hear about your cysts, do you need to get them removed or just see how it goes?

@Fifol her baby is very cute. I'm glad I'm not going to have to give birth at the trust she did. She's the second person I know who went to that hospital trust. My first friend gave birth at home in the bath as the hospital kept telling her not to come and my friend yesterday had to go to a different hospital as they kept telling her not to come and she was at home ready to push. She was 10cm when she got to the hospital and only just made it to a bed!

When my turn comes I will be camping outside the hospital

@Twinkletoes85 jeez that's awful. When I get pregnant I'll be so worried about actually having to give birth! But bring it on!

@Fifol she described it as like having the biggest poop of your life 😂
