TTC chat!

[apwilso]

Hey!

Want to get a group of ladies who are TTC at the same time to have someone to chat to during this journey together. It's a lonely process for me and only
In early stages of trying but would love advice, tips and general chat. This is an open chat and can't wait to chat to you all

X

@Bouncytree thanks! I will do! Boyfriend works away Monday to Thursday every week so restricted now with BD but we did have ten days off with each other just gone so hopefully that should be fine !🥺

@amy2503 @Bethy1995 @LRW26 hey girls! How is everyone x

@apwilso

I'm driving myself made with my weird cycles. Don't know whether to call the doc or not but I've been under a lot of stress with work also so that may be what's cause my 6day late AF and my 4 day early one. Odd goings on really and impossible to predict my cycles. Never have I ever been this irregluar, before my last MC I was every 28 days without fail now I have a 30 day cycle. How are you? X

Symptoms...I’m in! Raging indigestion tonight! I made my husband rind me like a baby 😂 Had indigestion when PG on DS. It CANNOT by a PG symptom yet...1 day dpo so it’s ridiculous. Been talking myself out of it all evening.....but you just can’t help wonder can you 😆. TWW here we goooo 😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😅

@1992EM thank you for the advice, there’s just so many things to try, sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming can’t it! Wishing you every luck with you TTC journey xx

@apwilso I’m okay - it’s always awful when your period turns up every month. We’re trying for our first baby so I guess I’ve just got the fear that maybe I can’t have babies which I know is a bit irrational after only 8 months of trying but honestly, that’s how I feel. My cousin announced she was pregnant a week after I had my miscarriage (she didn’t know about what happened to me) and I just felt so jealous and sad - I also felt awful for feeling that way. I always thought trying for a baby would be so exciting but it’s far from it.

@LRW26 I know exactly how you feel! That’s what I feel - you panic because your period arrives and can’t help but think something is wrong. It’s so hard isn’t it. When someone close announces their pregnant, it’s normal and natural to feel jealous and wishing it was you not them. We all go through it - we show we’re happy and behind the scenes we’re braking. We will get through this xx

@Bouncytree
I have been starving for a couple of days and started to wonder if that was a symptom [lol] but I think it's just my tummy is confused since the clocks went back!

@LRW26 bless you that's awful! There's nothing worse.it'a hard when your going through it but can't say anything. But least you've got us on here to chat to!

As for symptoms I've been quite bad. Very confusing. Ended up being sick last night, pelvic cramps and nausea. Very random but my ovulation test is the highest it's been 🥺

When will this tww end 6DPO and soooo desperate to test so that I just know.

How is everyone else as we enter a new week?

DS decided this morning he was gonna continuously cough, so we are now isolating awaiting test results. Typically since the test he hasnt coughed once...

@LRW26 of course, it’s natural to feel pangs when you hear and see others getting PG. it can really sting.

@apwilso intriguing! What percent...High or peaking? Perhaps your ovulating? Other possibility you ovulated early and the opks areahowing up hcg the pregancy hormone...this can happen. Very confusing. The vomiting is encouraging. That sounds like a Wierd thing to say 🤔

@Tabbycat92 oh no what a nuisance. 🤦‍♀️

Lol I’m the same TWW taking waaaaaay to long. And I’m symptom spotting at 2 days dpo. Acid reflux and stitch today. Of course it’s way to early but finding it impossible not to let my mind wander there. Are you still have symptoms?Are you tempted to test early?

@1992EM any developments since your last test?

@Tabbycat92 typical one cough and it's COVID haha!

@Bouncytree attached a picture it's wild how much it's shot up. Thing I've been doing the pictures and awkward way so think that's why it's so off then ive taken the odd picture. Just started feeling sick again now and nausea but it's horrible. It's weird because I briefly stopped doing OPKS and I thought I'd missed my ovulation day but that's thrown me off 😟

@LRW26 it definitely can be overwhelming. Thank you. 💕
@apwilso I would say you are ovulating today and those symptoms are due to ovulation if it is high. I usually ovulate between 16 and 18 days and I am a 30 day cycle so is possible.
@Tabbycat92 I hope your oh is ok. Worrying times just now. Being out working, I have the fear I will catch it as can't always distance in my job.
@bouncytree good luck in your tww. 💕 Thank you for checking in. AF hasn't shown and this is CD30 . no spotting or anything so far (except yesterday which was because I stupidly tried to feel my cervix 🙈🤣) . I normally spot for 2 or 3 days before AF and AF should have been today or tomorrow so will see what happens.

@bouncytree yeah still got symptoms, I have a load of cheap hcg tests from my first pregnancy, I think they're a few months out of date, but I might attempt a couple 😂

@1992EM would you say so. I didn't know if the symptoms were just too extreme for ovulation. Gutted because DTD all last week and this morning and now my other half is away until Thursday 😟 hopefully I've had enough to stay in me!

@apwilso if you dtd this morning you should have covered it if it was ovulation 👍x

@1992EM great! Thank you x

@apwilso if you are going to ovulate today this morning was very good timing...takes some time for the sperm to swim up the Fallopian tubes to meet the egg. Your level is 66...you need 70+ for peak. And you can also rise and fall a bit before. I would keep testing till you see a definite peak so you can be sure. When I peak it can up to 200%. U will know when you see it. Also you missed CD 18 so possible it was yesterday. Test regularly till you see the peak. But like 1992 I think it’s likely you are around ovulation time.

@1992EM eeeep fingers crossed for you. Your not out till AF arrives. Such a waiting game.

@Tabbycat92 lol that sounds like a way to put down the time! 🤣🤣😅 May as well 🤷‍♀️😆. It will scratch the testing itch for a bit!

@ferling very acidy tonight. Would love to think it’s a symptom...but that’s crazy talk 🙊

Evening ladies ☺️
Just checking in. Hope everyone is doing ok.
The pup had me up through the night and I had a really strange dream which I woke up crying from so I am super tired today. Found myself tiptoeing into symptom territory again but quickly pulled myself back and told myself to stop being so ridiculous 🙄😂😂

@1992EM it’s good that AF has stayed away and the fact you haven’t had any of your normal spotting is a positive sign.

@apwilso I agree with 1992 in that it’s likely you’re ovulating today. I think you’ve covered yourself well regarding DTD so wouldn’t worry.

@Tabbycat92 & @Bouncytree I feel your pain. 5dpo here and it feels like time is standing still!

@LRW26 so sorry to hear about your MC. Let’s hope you’re not kept waiting to long for your rainbow baby 🌈

@Bouncytree Thanks, I am trying to stay realistic 🙈 ill end up getting my hopes up and AF will arrive.

@MrsLauraM Thank you . I have had some really bizarre dreams recently too. I am just praying AF keeps away but I know when I let my guard down it will show.

@AKcheer it’s awful isn’t it. I’d do anything to just be someone who got pregnant by accident and I’m so frustrated I’ve spent years putting off getting pregnant for my career because it was never the right time to then be really struggling to get pregnant but like you said, we will get through this. Sending you lots of luck for your TTC journey x

@apwilso thank you, I’m actually really glad I joined this group and can speak to ladies in a similar position x

@Bouncytree I actually had a chat with my cousin about it a few weeks after when I had time to process and it felt really nice to actually be excited for someone and just hoping that one day, that’ll be excitement for me x

So because I’m new to all this... is there anywhere I can find out what all the acronyms are because I’m reading what all you lovely ladies are talking about but don’t fully understand because I can’t figure out what they mean 😂

@1992EM testing ovulation seems really complicated.. how long did it take you to get the hang of it? X

@MrsLauraM aw thank you so much 💞

@LRW26 It took me a couple of months. I just did it every day for the first two and then I could roughly estimate when I would ovulate and was usually pretty accurate . That way you save on opks too x

@LRW26 ttc - trying to conceive. Dtd - doing the deed. AF- Aunty Flo (period) . Opk - ovulation predictor kit. FRER- first response early test . CB- clear blue. BD- baby dance . Dpo- days post ovulation. CD - cycle day. These are all the ones I can think of just now . I was exactly the same . I hope this helps xx

Got that pre-period full ache in my stomach. I think I'm out and I'm heartbroken. x
