Thank you all, I just feel like I don't dare to wish

blodyn91 · 06/08/2020 18:22

@Franklydear I felt a bit under pressure the first few months of ttc as we had a deadline. This last month I decided to focus on other things - buying a barn and acctually wedding stuff again. So I do think forgetting about ttc helps. Saying that I still did seed cycling, OPKs and bbt 😆 but found them interesting not stressful.
Need to tell my sister soon as due date is hen do weekend 🙈🙈

2020mission · 06/08/2020 18:23

@Nichelette congratulations! Must be an even more amazing feeling after trying for a year 🎉

@LaceyMermaid I won't miss that bitter grapefruit juice 😂 but it gets easier to drink each time. You can probably add something to it to make it nicer but it definitely seemed to increase CM for me. That's the real purpose for it 👍🏼

Missgoldilocks · 06/08/2020 18:25

@Nichelette congrats!! I'm on month 13 and dying for a bfp, my OH is really wanting a baby and he's been calm this whole time ⌚ did you do anything differently?

@Minster2012 I'm sorry I haven't really been on but from skimming other comments I can see that you have lost your grandparents? I'm very sorry for your loss that can never be easy xxx

2020mission · 06/08/2020 18:25

Also just realised my autocorrect on my phone changed Tropicana grapefruit juice to tropical 😅 making it sound better than it is

lucyrp · 06/08/2020 18:40

@blodyn91 omg due date and hen weekend on the same day 😂🙈🙈🙈

MrsCrumbtious · 06/08/2020 18:40

Huge congrats @Nichelette 🎊🥳😁

Any testers tomorrow? Feeling so stupidly emotional tonight, potty training a toddler doesn’t help either lol 🤦🏼‍♀️

Franklydear · 06/08/2020 18:44

@blodyn that can make your hen do interesting...
I am going back to work soon and that means holiday club for ds, uniform, lunches,... Lots more to do, I already started seeing more people and feel super busy, it definitely won't be so intense when I do have other things on

Clairey844 · 06/08/2020 18:45

Congratulations @2020mission, @glowingtwig and @Nichelette

Nichelette · 06/08/2020 18:47

Thanks everyone :)

@Missgoldilocks I had naively assumed it would just happen based on how fertile the females in my family seem to be, so we were being very lax planning wise. The last few months I've paid more attention to when I'm actually ovulating though I know those who have been waiting a long time will already be doing this. I'm 34 and my periods have been getting lighter over the last year or so which jolted me into action a bit. I honestly thought I was infertile. I really hope it sticks.

LaceyMermaid · 06/08/2020 18:53

Yes I thought it sounded nice then realised! 🤣

2alreadywantanother · 06/08/2020 20:40

Congrats @nichelette

@LaceyMermaid have u any kids? The reason I'm like that is I've 2 and I'm nearly 40 so age could be a big factor

KateColx · 06/08/2020 20:40

@2020mission aww congratulations lovely!!! Please don't feel guilty for putting it on here, we're all here for the high and lows 🥰 I'm definitely adding Oreo chocolate into the mix this time 😂 x

@Katao aww messed up cycles are the worst! Do you normally have regular cycles or have you just come off the pill? I'm feeling good about the no testing, it's nice to be sure you're hitting the right dates but I just felt like it added loads of pressure so hoping this will make it better 🥰

@Ltay2 aw I get the anxious thing, I'm a nightmare at the best of times so can imagine I'd be the same. But no need to worry if everything feels fine, try to enjoy it all 🥰🥰

@Newbie0818 hope you're okay, I found a little break helped me 💕

@notyetamumbuttrying you won't always be here ☺️ did the short skirt trick work?? Haha I know what you mean, I feel like in any other circumstance sex every day would be fine but it can feel like an effort when TTC. We're on holiday (hopefully) around my OV dates in September so I'm quietly holding out hope for that month 🥰

Katao · 06/08/2020 20:51

Congratulations @Nichelette. Thebfps are just rolling in!
@KateColx I came off the pill in February and my first few cycles were regular but now have gone weird so itssort of the opposite of what i would have expected! Think I'm just fed up looking at sticks now!

LaceyMermaid · 06/08/2020 21:00

@2alreadywantanother yep I’ve got 3 boys so realise I’m extremely lucky already! So if it happens it happens but if it doesn’t then I appreciate what I’ve got. I’m 38 and it’s been almost 12 years since my last was born so my body has probably aged a bit!

Ltay2 · 06/08/2020 21:06

@KateColx Did another cheapie test tonight to ease my anxiety so it's helped a little! I'm telling my mum tomorrow too so that'll be nice plus it'll give me someone other than OH to talk to about it.

BEESY90 · 06/08/2020 21:20

Hello everyone. I really need some encouragement. I am 13 dpo. No sign of a period. I have been trying to conceive for 6 months and using fertility drugs. I know I need to take a test but I am too scared!

Florence13 · 06/08/2020 21:20

@Nichelette congratulations on your BFP!!

Hoping August continues with the BFPs for us all 😊

KateColx · 06/08/2020 21:22

@Katao oh yeah that is super annoying!! It's exhausting isn't it, feel like I was either looking at ovulation tests or then taking pregnancy tests from about 3DPO 😂 where are you at with your current cycle? X

@Ltay2 aw that's good, do what you need to make yourself feel better 🥰 I imagine I'd be peeing on so many sticks a day haha. That'll be nice, does she know you were trying? X

2020mission · 06/08/2020 21:23

@KateColx that Oreo dairy milk bar was such a treat as I tend not to eat a lot of sweets and chocolate... my husband is type 1 diabetic so I feel guilty munching them around him and I prefer to keep our chocolate stash full for cases when he needs it. He told me to eat all the chocolate I want though as it doesn't bother him 😆

@Ltay2 how often are you testing? I've got one FRER left... not sure whether to go straight in again tomorrow morning as my first test was quite faint or to wait it out a couple more days before doing another. I've ordered my first CB digital pack from amazon due to arrive tomorrow so that I can try it and see the actual 'pregnant' for peace of mind 😅 but definitely holding off a few more days for that incase it doesn't pick it up this soon.

2alreadywantanother · 06/08/2020 21:24

@LaceyMermaid i hear ya. My youngest is nearly 10

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/08/2020 21:24

@Missgoldilocks ooh a massage would be lush right about now! But so called Dh has gone round a mates, so much for doing it on ov day. 😒 these men really fuck me off!! Yeah it's roasting here too! Where u based btw?
@Nichelette ahh how amazing!! There's hope for me yet! 😃 I'm also 34 and starting to worry something is wrong! I'm booked in for bloods next week as I couldn't wait any longer! I'm month 11 so I'll try and chill out.
@KateColx erm no it didn't 😂 he's gone out! He even asked if he could go 😆 he knew I didn't want him to but I can't bear saying he can and can't do things, especially when it involves seeing his friends, but tonight of all nights, what a twat lol! I've been obsessively poas sticks too the last couple days, shouldn't of bothered! Aww hope the hol goes ahead! I'm due on when our holiday comes 😂

Ltay2 · 06/08/2020 21:33

@KateColx She doesn't know specifically that we've been trying right now but I don't think it will come as a huge surprise as she knows that we were wanting to try this year!

@2020mission I did my first test at 13DPO and second frer at 15DPO. Haven't tested at all since then but felt the need to just 'see' today at 18DPO. I've ordered some CB weeks tests that I'll do at the weekend then if they say 3+ weeks I'll stop, or if it's still only 2-3 weeks then I'll do another a few days later/a week later until I get the 3+, hopefully will get a call from the midwife soon to organise the booking appointment but I've been told it can take a couple of weeks to get the call.

LaceyMermaid · 06/08/2020 21:41

@2alreadywantanother very similar then! What will be will be! How old is your eldest? My other 2 are 15 and 16!

Katao · 06/08/2020 21:55

@KateColx cd3 🙄
@Franklydear @LaceyMermaid @2alreadywantanother I have to say I'm a little fascinated by you girls who are ttc after a gap. Did you think you were done and then change your minds? I always hear people saying you know when you are done but I have my doubts 🤣 I feel like I would always want just one more!
