TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

[CAG14]

Hey

This is my 9th month TTC my first baby and I'm 33. I got static smiley on Friday on OPK, and now I'm in my TWW - again! I'm currently on furlough so the wait seems even longer and more painful and I definitely end up going a bit crazy 🤪

Anyone else in similar boat and need keeping sane?! Also any TTC tips you've heard of? I will literally try anything at the moment haha.

@LMA27 agree with @Stabal you are not going mad!!! I really hope this is your month! When are you testing?

@CAG14 I’ve never tested early, I’m petrified to do it because I’m certain I’ll get a BFN and then have to wait to see if AF arrives which will be just unbearable. When is the earliest you could test? I think I’m clinging onto symptoms that are something else

Just catching up on everyone’s comments. @LMA27 sounds promising for you, I’m hoping so!

I’m due my period tomorrow and I tested on Friday and was bpn, so I’m not bothering testing again coz af def on the way I can feel it. I think in future I’ll only test if I have any new symptoms, different from usual pms or if I really sense it could be positive. I knew this cycle I wasn’t as not a single symptom,

This next cycle I’m def doing smep and pineapple and Brazil nuts, might be a total placebo but some people say it’s worked for them. I’ll try anything!!
Hope you all had a good weekend.

Just want this period over with already 😩

And welcome @Flcksrsrx20 ! X

Morning ladies, I hope this makes you laugh.
So I know our hormones can be a joke sometimes; one minute we’re ok, next we’re crying, next we’re absolutely livid about the silliest thing. But last night I didn’t get the best sleep, OH snores & to top it off his alarm was going off at stupid o’clock this morning and he just kept snoozing it and when I asked if he was getting up he said he didn’t need to yet 🤦🏼‍♀️ 45 mins later and 4 snoozes he’s still lay there snoring away like it’s ok and I’m wide awake. So naturally I’m annoyed but I was at the point I actually tried to physically push him out of bed 😂😂 now i think about it, it’s hilarious, but I was seeing red at the time. Now these are either pregnancy hormones or because AF is due but either way it’s ridiculous. I’m just sat here sipping my cup of tea (whilst he’s still in bed may I add 🙄) thinking why was I so angry but now I find it funny? 😂 I do hate being a woman sometimes haha. Anyone else a psycho or just me? Haha

@Faith82 I do hope AF doesn’t arrive but sometimes you just know and can feel it coming can’t you :(
I’ll be with you on the pineapple and SMEP if this cycle hasn’t worked for me too!! Just have to convince OH to be a bit more structured

@Faith82 I'm with you on that! I'm due anyway now and just want it to hurry up.
I want to get started on SMEP and I've brought Conceive Plus so fingers crossed for us!
I've never wanted a period to come so much haha. Just wish it would hurry up!

@LMA27 I'm with you on this! OH snores and sets about 5 alarms if he's on an early shift.. I'm a very light sleeper so I always waken. He never ever gets up on the first alarm, 90% of the time he doesn't even hear it and it's me thumping him that wakens him 😂 it drives me absolutely bananas. The worst part is after his 5 alarms he'll set some more 3 minutes apart.. Like 7.11, 7.14, 7.17 and somehow he manages to fall asleep between each one?!

@Stabal I left OH drinking whiskey last night & went to bed so I have a feeling he was feeling a little delicate this morning but doesn’t excuse waking me throughout the night snoring, 5.30am alarm plus snoozing and he only got up at 8.30am for work! Like whyyyy?? He fell asleep inbetween each alarm. I was up at 6.30am as I couldn't take his alarms any longer and he was too heavy to push out of bed 😂 your OH sounds like he could be mine haha
Sorry I know this isn’t TTC talk but i needed a little rant :) I’m WFH today and trying not eat my feelings whilst waiting to see is AF arrives on Friday

This made me laugh so much because it is my life! My husband snores too, and his alarm goes off at 5am and he snoozes it, and he doesn’t start his work until 7 ish. I’m used to it so much so that I just wake naturally between 4-5 every day, but the times when he hits snooze bout 5 times drive me bananas! It doesn’t happen often thankfully lol

Af here right on time as I expected, sucks. But looking forward to cycle day 8 already when can start smep. @LMA27 I’m the same need to tell hubby bout it so he can expect mire structure this month!

Started back at my 2nd job I was furloughed from this morning. Total nightmare. The world is really weird right now.

Also rang the GP and was more or less told by the snotty receptionist that they weren't doing appointments still and that there were no phone appointments to give out. So still none the wiser or relaxed lol

@Faith82 sorry for AF. On to a new cycle though 🤞

@LMA27 @Stabal My husband used to snore so much up to the point I had to sleep in another room one night and that scared him so much that he bought dozens of off-the-counter strips and products to try and minimise it. The Breathe Right strips are the only ones that got rid of the snoring. I def recommend. It's worth pointing out that when they drink even with the strips they may continue to snore. The drinking def doesn't help. Luckily my husband is now trying to be super healthy so he is not drinking more than a couple of glasses of wine per week.

@stepmumSW5 to be fair I'm used to the snoring now. It's just when his alarms waken me and not him and I have to lie there listening to the snoring and the 1000 alarms because I can't get back to sleep as quickly as he can 😂

@stabal that’s really annoying. Hope you get to bottom of it soon.
When I got to speak to doc last week he said they’d only just started doing bloods but I’m having to go to a different clinic so hopefully it won’t be long before things are opening up as normal!

And I can’t really say anything. OH def does the snoring but I’m very guilty of snoozing the alarm several times 😂😂

@Stabal surely there’s some kind of appointment, even if it’s later in the week rather than just telling you there’s nothing available, that’s not helpful. How are you today?

@stepmumSW5 Thanks for the tip! I don’t know how OH doesn’t wake himself up from the sheer volume haha he’s more of a open mouth throat snorer so I have a feeling the strips won’t work.

@Faith82 Sorry AF arrived! you’re only a few days ahead of me. AF due Friday, obviously I hope it doesn’t arrive, but SMEP all the way next cycle for us hehe

I can’t believe how many of us have snoring partners 😂

@LMA27 I thought the same but they actually work (at least most of the time). Saved my marriage! His snoring is so loud that it even Wakes him up! 😂

@LMA27 they told me to ring each morning to try and catch an available phone appointment 🙄 still got a slight brown when I wipe but have a nearly peak opk and my temp dipped this morning so hopefully I'm going to ovulate tomorrow 🤞 how are you feeling? Any other symptoms?

@LT103 I mean this in the nicest way possible but do you not stress yourself out with the snooze button 😂😂 I literally couldn't not get up to my first alarm. I can't understand it..

@stabal. I actually annoy myself with it sometimes hahaha. I always set it early to give me half an hour to wake up before I actually get up. It ultimately turns into longer, then I’ve had a completely broken hours sleep and wish I’d just got up at the start. I’ll maybe learn one day 🤣🤣🤣

@LT103 aw god no I honestly couldn't. I don't know how my fiancé does it, I always yell at him why don't you just set it for the time you know you're going to actually get up and he always says but maybe I will get up earlier.. You won't, you never have 😂

Hahahaha. I get where he’s coming from @Stabal. I usually have great intentions of gettin up early then just don’t want to when that first alarm goes off. I sometimes have alarms set on my phone and my clock and snooze both 🤦🏻‍♀️

Morning everyone! Hope you are all well (apart from snoring and snoozing partners haha).

@Stabal that is so annoying about getting an appointment, I hope you get one soon. Fingers crossed for ovulation tomorrow and enjoy DTD haha!

@Faith82 sorry to hear about AF but sounds like you have a good plan for this month.

I'm still just in the annoying waiting game in the 2WW. It has helped to tell myself that no symptoms whatsoever will happen until at least Friday. So cue me being mental on here on Friday 🤪

I didn't sleep that well last night though. General anxiety at the moment that I can't seem to shove. Think it is just all the uncertainty of everything at the moment. Going to try some lavender aromatherapy sprays on my pillow tonight that I ordered.

@Stabal it sounds like it could be ovulation bleeding 🤞🏼 time to DTD today & tomorrow hehe!
I’m ok, no more symptoms so it’s made me doubtful. I thought I had some pregnancy tests left but I don’t, so I walked to the shop on lunch picked up some food etc and came home and forgot to buy the tests that I went for 🤦🏼‍♀️ haha useless. saved me money + the desire to test earlier than I should

I’m with you both on the snoozing though, how anyone gets up on the first alarm is beyond me. 2 maybe 3 snoozes wakes me up enough although sounds like @LT103 takes it to another level snoozing 😂

@CAG14 we DTD this morning and thankfully off tomorrow so will DTD in the morning and evening hopefully that will cover us haha. Is AF due Friday? Gah, I'm so anxious for all of you! I hope you get a better sleep tonight though

@LMA27 I would have come home and ordered some online 😂 you definitely have some willpower!

@CAG14 Aww sorry to hear that, anxiety is a b*tch, I’m useless when I don’t sleep either, hopefully your lavender sprays help you sleep tonight 💜

@Stabal ok I have to admit I looked on amazon but they won’t get here till Friday and AF due that day so no point is there 😂
