TTC baby #1 fed up now

[Cha0907]

Hello :)

Been ttc baby #1 since January and totally fed up now. Feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant or giving birth 😭

Currently 11dpo have felt a bit different this week. Monday I felt so bloated and full when I woke up as if I had ate a massive meal. Had some mild cramping and felt a bit nauseous as well as extremely sore boobs felt as if they were going to explode at one point and have been so glad to have been working from home as haven’t put a bra on all week because of it 😂

Trying not to get hopes up but would be so nice if this was our time finally! Have lost about a stone in weight during lockdown and have started taking Coq10 and vital dha this month 🤞🏻

Have been on a few chats here but can’t find the ones from a few months back as had a few months off but happy to chat with anyone on same boat 😊

Hi,
All I can say is I felt exactly the same way.
Everyone around me was falling pregnant and little old me was quietly breaking inside!
It really is a horrible and lonely feeling.

It took us about 1.5 years to finally conceive. However, there were other issues. To cut a long story short, had funny periods for about a year since having contraceptive implant removed. Back and forth to the doctors as periods were extremely painful and not conceiving for over a year. Had a procedure in hosptial which showed that I had mild endometriosis. A few months later I fell pregnant which really was a shock, as I had totally lost all confidence in it. I was told after my procedure I could start fertility drugs in 3 months. Luckily, I fell pregnant naturally!

My very first symptom was breast pain and I had really sensitive skin under my boobs. Other than that, I didn't have a clue! My period was due and I took my routine pregnancy test, thinking it would be a disappointing negative. Boy, was I surprised to see two strong lines looking back at me.

I know everyone says it, but not thinking about it helps. I'd basically given up and it happened! I was stressing myself out trying to work it out my fertile window. The month I didn't check and boom!

But it sounds promising with bloating and nausea etc

Good luck!

Hey @PrincessEspresso

Thank you for sharing your ttc story. I am Defos out this month as AF arrived today 2 days earlier than expected. I was really confident this morning and planned to test this morning too but decided I would wait until Tuesday.

Maybe just going to try and not think about it next month and see what happens. Easier said than done though 😂 x
