6 months plus ttc (continuation of 6/7 months ttc) all welcome

[Twinkletoes85]

Hi everyone just another continuation thread 😊

@Tink2019 I'd definitely take that as peak, close enough 😂

Looks like a lovely peak @Tink2019 whoop!

@Baileys123 lovely news thanks for sharing. So sorry to hear of your loss, must be incredibly hard.

@Baileys123 congratulations, that's such amazing news. I hope all goes smoothly for you!

I think I am out this month. I was so certain, but I feel very 'heavy' and am spotting this morning. The usual for the day before my period, it is due tomorrow. I am actually feeling ok, a bit teary. Just hard to figure out why it is not happening. My midwife comes back from maternity leave in August, so I'll book in to go and see her. I wish all of you lots of luck this month, it makes me so happy to see when people get that amazing news! I'm sure I'll be back telling you all I am certain next month too lol!

Hi everyone- this is my first post after being a mumsnet stalker for the last 6 months, so hello! I hope it's ok it I tag along on this thread. Nice to meet everyone ☺️

I have been TTC since January. Had an early miscarriage in April. Just got the dreaded period today :(

Looking for some support as although it's not been a long time, just six months now, I'm finding it hard to stay positive. It can all get overwhelming can't it! Period days are particularly hard.

Any advice on how to keep positive gratefully received. Most do my friends for preggo straight away so can't relate!

Thank you! 💛

If any of the new ladies on here want to join our FB group, just let us know :)

@Lellabump welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear about your MC. I also had a MC first time round and then had a successful pregnancy. What I found helped me was talking to friends about it, I was amazed at how many had been through the same and also knowing that I was able to get pregnant. Unfortunately so many pregnancies do end in MC and the vast majority of those women will then go on to have successful future pregnancies.

@Fraucherie I’m so sorry to hear you think AF is on her way, hopefully she will just stay away.

I'm in the fb group already but didnt want to upset anyone by my bfp. I was going to wait until someone else got one 😘

@DSC1 thank you for that. I just have to stay positive... it's just much more difficult than I naively thought! It's helpful to see others all on the journey. Thanks again 😊

@gypsywater hi id love to join the facebook group please.

Thanks

@Tink2019 Nice stripy lines! I'm on cd 25 and no sign of anything remotely high on OPKs. I'm not particularly patient as it turns out

@Tink2019 wooo great news, hopefully temp stays up now and you get your bfp x

Hi @Lellabump, it's more difficult when everyone around you seems to get pregnant so quickly isn't it! This group has been a great support, just saying what you're feeling and realising someone else has felt/experienced the same helps so much x

@Douya I feel your pain. When your cycles are long and irregular it makes monitoring everything so bloody stressful - do you also feel like you're peeing on a stick your whole cycle just in case you miss the positive OPK?! I had another peak reading today so now not sure if today is O date or two days ago...my husband wants to kill me because we basically end up DTD every other day every month as my fertile window always shifts 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully your LH surge happens this weekend.

I completely agree @Aokbaby, this group is amazing x

@Baileys123 did you have implantation bleeding at all, I'm about 7/8 doo and having spotting when I wiped this morning x

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA. I just wanted to drop a wee message and say that I'm still around 👋. I'm just having a wee break from the TTC rollercoaster. I'm not tracking anything this month and trying to stay off the forum for a wee bit of head space. I've actually felt better as the past few cycles it's been all consuming for me. Too much and constant googling. I just wanted to let you know that I am still thinking about you all and keeping my fingers crossed for BFP for everyone. I'll be back soon ❤️💙 xx

Hi everyone

New to this thread and to mumsnet, I’m just feeling so lost I need to talk to people that understand.

I’m 33 and apparently healthy (we’ve had basic blood tests and my husband’s sperm checked) and we’ve been TTC for about 11months. We finally managed to get pregnant on cycle 10, but sadly I miscarried in my 5th week. Back trying again Now 3 weeks later, now 8dpo in the tww. (I’ve had 2 close friends announce they are pregnant in the last week. Pleased for them but I feel so sad for me too.)

It’s so hard doing everything right, having sex when your supposed to and nothing happening. I can honestly say the time it actually worked we did nothing different it just took for some reason. Before we started trying I had been off birth control for like 4 years.

Sorry to vent! But if someone else who’s not going through this tells me to ‘just relax’ one more time ... 🤯

P.s does Anyone know HOW to ‘just relax’?

Hi can I join
9 months TTC, 2 chemical pregnancies (December & February).
I think OH sick of hearing about things as I obsess every month. No-one else knows much about us TTC so it's nice to have somewhere to discuss things. X

@dbop100 just read your post as a newbie above mine and could have written the same myself (apart from 9 months rather than 11, haven't been to doctors yet)
Also just had close friends announce and feeling the same.

You're not alone if that makes you feel any better. X

Thanks @lamby12 appreciate your kind words.

I should probably already have said that we’re trying for our first baby. I should probably be happy to know I can at least get pregnant. That’s never happened before. Feels like we’re back at square one. Really trying to be positive it’ll happen again. But I’m so afraid it’ll be another 10 cycles of waiting!

I guess I also wanted to just let others know that it can take a really long time even when your doing everything ‘right’. I remember crying 2 days before I got my BFP because I had cramps and thought my AF was coming Again and I was at the end of my sanity.

Xx

@lamby12 @Dbop100 welcome to the thread. It's a great bunch of ladies who offer an immense amount of support through this tricky journey

Thank you @Tilly1403

@Dbop100 every month feels like an eternity doesn't it! Especially in lockdown it's so difficult not to obsess. Sometimes I don't know why I do it to myself spending hours googling the same things... none of which will change the outcome.

I'm currently 1 week late but I have done a gazillion tests over the last fortnight all BFN apart from one faint line a week ago, so I can't possibly be this month. Worried about another chemical because of the faint line.

If this month isn't it I wish AF would just hurry up so we can get on with next month.

@PinkFlamingoGirl definitely a good idea to take a break from the TTC rollercoaster. I’m also not doing any testing this month as I just want a little break and to not feel like it’s consuming every day of the month. Keep well and hope to hear from you soon... hopefully with that BFP!

Welcome @Dbop100 and @lamby12 to the group. @Dbop100 I also suffered an early MC first time round and there is genuinely no reason as to why you shouldn’t get pregnant again, especially if all your bloods look good. I fell again quickly after mine and now have a beautiful 2 year old LG.

I once watched a video about getting pregnant and exactly what has to happen - it’s so interesting and helped me to understand why it perhaps doesn’t just happen straight away.

Hi @lamby12 and @Dbop100, I'm fairly new to this group too, but it's been so so helpful so far. I'm sorry you've had chemical pregnancies and miscarriages, I've not been through that and it must be heartbreaking. Just want to say, a friend of mine said it's ok to feel what you feel and it's really helped me. I don't think there is a way to relax unfortunately but don't feel bad for not relaxing or being sad when friends announce pregnancies (I've had 9 since we started trying last year and felt so many emotions). Also I read somewhere that stressing about trying to conceive won't make a blind bit of difference to your chances...it's natural. It's only major stress that can really upset hormones etc - not sure how true it is but it made me feel better xx

@PinkFlamingoGirl hey, glad to hear that you're enjoying your break, it's sometimes good just to forget about it all and get your head showered!! I intend to do the same next cycle of nothing happens this month

Hi to @Dbop100 and @lamby12 see this whole 'relaxing' crap that people keep talking about, drives you nuts. Have you noticed it's always the people who have children or are currently pregnant dishing out this 'relaxing' talk, my best friend is a complete worrier and she happen to get pregnant second month of trying and is constantly telling me to relax!!ahhh it's very annoying!
This group is great for support/venting, hopefully we'll start to get some bfp's soon xx

Hi everyone! You’re all so nice 😭

Yes the relaxing thing is BS! Also friends asking me why I don’t just take a break and it will happen? Erm, I don’t think so. If I decide myself to take a break for my own reasons sure that’s one thing, but someone else (other than my husband - ok he can have an opinion) telling me to stop? Hello no. Also it makes you feel like it’s your fault and your doing something wrong because you care too much. It’s really not helpful for us to hear.

Hey everyone.

@Tink2019 @Douya I feel your pain I'm cd24 have had 9 flashing smileys but no peak yet it's so frustrating!

@PinkFlamingoGirl hope you're ok, sounds like a break from it is exactly what you needed x
