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

@Bouncytree thanks for that! I'm sure I did a test yesterday probably didn't upload it knowing me hahaa!

@MrsLauraM I'll keep an eye out👀

@LRW26 it's nice to have the support. Also I was literally saying that today these girls who can just fall pregnant I'm so jealous. My friend literally had a one night stand and got caught! How!! I don't get it!

@amy2503 try and stay positive and relaxed. It's easier said than done but don't get stressed and put yourself under pressure!

@amy2503 most pregnancy symptoms can be very similar or the same as AF symptoms so don’t stress about it just yet. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🧡

Annie1290 · 26/10/2020 20:09

Hi all, can I join?

Like @Tabbycat92 I'm in Cornwall and ttc number 2. My son has just turned 3.

Caught first cycle last time and then had a very dramatic pregnancy with HG, and then an emergency c section due to complications from pre eclampsia at 30 weeks.

So feeling very nervous, but have definitely got very excited since I had my implant out on 8/10. Had a bleed straight away so hoping I will ovulate soon!

amy2503 · 27/10/2020 07:46

@MrsLauraM @apwilso

Thank you so much ladies. I definitely think it's on its way- I don't really get cramps, but rather a deep dull ache, so I always know it's coming :( I keep telling myself it might be pregnancy but I know this month isn't my month. Maybe next month x

Originalusername6432762 · 27/10/2020 08:08

@amy2503
I always have a little bit of hope until period starts, even if I get symptoms. I try not to think anything but I can’t help it, and so far I’ve always been disappointed. It’s definitely the worst time of the month for me! Hope you are ok 🙂

Tabbycat92 · 27/10/2020 08:33

Hello @Annie1290 😊 how exciting, someone else from Cornwall 🤗 whereabouts are you? I'm in St Austell.
Are you tracking your ovulation? Fingers crossed for you

Tabbycat92 · 27/10/2020 08:39

So I did one of my hundreds of cheap hcg tests this morning, and obviously it was a BFN 😅 but what did I really expect at 7dpo. Its not knocked me at all, I expected it to be negative as its far too early, but it's certainly not cured the itch to test. So I expect I'll be testing every morning for the foreseeable.
I just feel pregnant, I can't really 100% put my finger on why, but I just do 🤔
Hope everyone is OK this morning ☕

Originalusername6432762 · 27/10/2020 09:07

@Tabbycat92
Fingers crossed for you :)

EllyNC291 · 27/10/2020 09:12

@Tabbycat92 I tested too haha, so silly as I’m around 8/9dpo so still early! Yet was a bit disheartened by the bfn :( feel like I’m out now really!!
Welcome @Annie1290 fingers crossed for you for another quick catch and a nicer pregnancy

Ttcbm8687 · 27/10/2020 09:13

34 years old TTC baby number 1! Pray for me 😂

MrsLauraM · 27/10/2020 09:19

Hi @Annie1290 oh dear, let’s hope your next one is a little less eventful for you! 😊

@amy2503 it’s disappointing when those little telltale AF signs start isn’t it. It’s good that you’re looking ahead positively though. Keep us updated on how things go over the next few days.

@Tabbycat92 morning 😊 have you had any other symptoms? I had another really bizarre dream last night but it felt so real again. I never normally dream like this. But then I’m just concerned that I’m causing them myself by being so obsessive about this tww! I wish I could just switch off.

MrsLauraM · 27/10/2020 09:22

@EllyNC291 I wouldn’t say you were out just yet. Implantation can be anywhere between 6dpo to 12dpo with the average around 8/9dpo so you’ve still got time yet.

@Ttcbm8687 welcome and good luck!! 😊

Tabbycat92 · 27/10/2020 09:26

@EllyNC291 why do we do this to ourselves? 😅 Still plenty of chance yet! Alot of people won't have even implanted by 8/9dpo.

@MrsLauraM still the same really. Generally a constant nausea, achey, heavy prickly boobs. Yes my dreams have been quite vivid, but then I do often have vivid dreams (I think I eat too much sugar at bedtimes 😅)

Annie1290 · 27/10/2020 09:34

@Tabbycat92

Hello *@Annie1290* 😊 how exciting, someone else from Cornwall 🤗 whereabouts are you? I'm in St Austell. Are you tracking your ovulation? Fingers crossed for you

I'm in Truro so not far 😊 I'm going to do some OPK's but this is only first cycle since implant removal so it's a bit of a guessing game at the moment. Before the implant I was a very regular 28 day cycle so fingers crossed it goes back to that quickly.

Good luck to all!

Tabbycat92 · 27/10/2020 11:55

@Annie1290 ahh not far at all 😊 yeah probably worth waiting for your first AF then track from there. My cycle took around 3 months to return to normal after coil removal.
I recommend taking Vitex Fruit to regulate your cycle, really helped me a lot

amy2503 · 27/10/2020 14:23

@Originalusername6432762 me too. I'm so so tired if having to start over yet again. I'm really feeling sad x

Originalusername6432762 · 27/10/2020 14:45

@amy2503
Hugs for you!
Have you spoken to your GP? If not, maybe do that, or stick a date in your diary to do it in the future. I felt a lot better after contacting mine, but I know that the help you get varies.

apwilso · 27/10/2020 15:41

@Tabbycat92 exciting times for you! I know what you mean. I feel like something is different this cycle🤔

How is everyone doing today and welcome to all the new girlies!💙

AF has arrived. Still light and no cramps but think that's me out this month. 😔

MrsLauraM · 27/10/2020 16:04

@1992EM aw no, sorry to hear that 😢 sending hugs ❤️❤️

@amy2503 I’m sorry it’s not been your month 😔 it is really disheartening but try to remain positive. I know that is much easier said than done. I agree with @Originalusername6432762 about speaking to your GP.

@apwilso I’m having some mild cramps in and off at the minute but only 6dpo so 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also feeling very teary and quick to snap. I’m just going to put it down to progesterone though because it’s still very very early.

apwilso · 27/10/2020 16:15

@1992EM I'm so sorry to hear. Sending my wishes 🙂

@MrsLauraM that's me every day ahhahaha!

@MrsLauraM and @apwilso Thank you 💕

AugustLove · 27/10/2020 17:02

Hi all,

Just had a read through, seems as though lots of us are now in the TWW, I’m very very early in so just plodding along really and promising myself not to start obsessing as the days roll on!! Fingers are firmly crossed for everyone.

@1992EM sorry to hear as well, be kind to yourself 💕

I hope everyone is ok? We found out for certain today that our little one who passed in the summer definitely didn’t have any genetic issues so I feel a relief there. Must just keep believing that all will be well with our rainbow....

Xx

1992EM · 27/10/2020 21:05

@AugustLove thank you 💕 I am glad to hear there should be no issues with you getting pregnant again. Hopefully you have your rainbow baby soon. 🌈 x
