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

@MamaMoonbeam id try! Might speed it up but you won't know if you don't try! Legit knicker watching!!!

@Waiting2BeaMama fingers crossed. Negative past 3 days but I'll hold out now 😫 I'd say so tbqh sounds like implantation xxx

Ooh @Waiting2BeaMama sounds like it could be implantation. Fingers crossed it sticks! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@apwilso may your pants be AF free and your BFP be bright... and may all your Christmases be white 😅

Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 20:02

@apwilso @MamaMoonbeam thanks ladies. My af is like clockwork so I’m pretty sure it’s not that. Feel so weirdly anxious lol. Fingers crossed it’s good news.

I’ve definitely been joining in the knicker watching today 😂

BellaStar2020 · 05/11/2020 20:15

Hi, can I join conversation. We am TTC for the first time, all of this is very new to me. I OV'd on 30th confirmed by BBT and LH tracking using Natural Cycle. 6DPO today.
This month I seem to be noticing every twinge my body makes, some I know to be normal and some not normal but could be a coincidence. Trying to hold out to teat until I am 10dpo. It will be good to have people to chat to as i havent told any of my family or friends that we are TTC.

Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 21:49

Hi @BellaStar2020 👋 I’m also on my first month of ttc and 6dpo. I’ve been obsessing over every little twinge and cramp too. I had some pink spotting today and hoping it might be implantation even though I feel it might still be a bit too early. I’ve also had very sore boobs for the last few days and lots of cramping. Going to try and hold out til at least 10dpo before testing if I can.

BellaStar2020 · 05/11/2020 21:55

@Waiting2BeaMama I am not sure if I am just paying more attention this month or if its things that are symptoms ( although reading posts it seems that symptoms are rare so early on).
Are you testing on Monday?
I have had the worst heartburn last 3 days which was strange for me, it was so bad It made me sick. Plus some pain around ovaries and boots sensitive on and off. Really bloated and gassy (tmi 😂).

BellaStar2020 · 05/11/2020 21:55

Also heard that implantation can be from 6dpo so fingers crossed for you it could be implantation. Is it usual for you to have spotting in your cycle?

Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 22:00

@BellaStar2020 yeh I keep telling myself that I can’t possibly have symptoms so early, but I definitely am feeling it. Probably have this every month and just don’t pay attention. I never get spotting during the month though so hopefully that’s positive.
Not sure when to test really. Don’t want to do it too early and be disappointed if it’s bfn. Also weirdly anxious lol. When are you planning to test?

BellaStar2020 · 05/11/2020 22:05

@Waiting2BeaMama I am exactly the same, keep thinking surely I can't be feeling it this early but I think i feel different to normal?!
I use Natural Cycles to track and that advises for me to test from 10dpo which would be Monday af due on Thursday next week. Do you use anything to track?

Waiting2BeaMama · 05/11/2020 22:16

Yeh I use NC as well, and been using premom since recommended on here. My cycles differ a bit in length so it’s not telling me to test til the end of next week, but I feel like I’ll probably test earlier and see what happens.
Fingers crossed we get bfps at some point next week 🤞

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 06:45

@Waiting2BeaMama yes actually I must have misread mine as it is telling me to take a taste 4 days after af is due? I am going to test before that I think.
I had a slight .25 dip in my temp today which could indicate implantation? Or i could have misread it 🙄 who knows!!
I have also woken up with loads of spots but this could be a PMS thing for me too

Originalusername6432762 · 06/11/2020 09:56

@Waiting2BeaMama
I had pink spotting this month and got excited but I'm pretty sure I can feel af on its way :(

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 10:18

Yeah I feel as though the symptoms I am feeling are af on their way!! Just got to keep our chins up and know that it will be worth it in the end 🤞. My boobs are so weird today too and I do have a lot of cramping!

Waiting2BeaMama · 06/11/2020 10:25

@Originalusername6432762 aw hopefully it’s not af! I know I got quite a surprise yesterday and it hit me i could be pg, but trying not to get too excited in case.

@BellaStar2020 yeh I have had so much cramping all through the night as well. My boobs are really achey. Had a bit more spotting but light brown rather than pink. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself but definitely feeling different.

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 10:39

@Waiting2BeaMama yeah I am about 90% sure I feel different too but then in the back of my head I am thinking that It could be PMS. My mum has been really sick this year and so I would like to be able to give her a nice lil Christmas gift 🤣. I know that is prob putting some extra pressure on myself and she will still be happy another month if it happens!!
I havent had any spotting or signs of implantation other than some cramps this morning and a dip in temp

apwilso · 06/11/2020 11:13

Still knicker watching me! Nothing still usually cycle happens yesterday and mine is also like clockwork so bit odd. Tested had a faint line few days ago but negatives since. Feel off lightheaded some cramping but not my usual PMS symptoms. Gonna have to keep an eye out

OP posts:
BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 12:00

@apwilso fingers crossed for you.
I had heard of the two but didn't realise how much it would drive you crazy 🤣

apwilso · 06/11/2020 12:19

@BellaStar2020 honestly! I'm going mad😂😂😂

OP posts:
Dex1521 · 06/11/2020 12:28

I’ve decided to buy some agnus castus today. Hoping it helps bring back a regular cycle as currently I’ve had nothing since stopping the pill!

I’m also having the most awful mood swings these past few days and today I woke up craving liquorice alsorts. Craving them so much I had to go out and buy some or else I was gonna go mad it was all I could think about can I also add I’ve never had them in my life before 😂

Don’t know what’s going on with my body and hormones at the moment

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 12:29

@apwilso well you're still in seeing as AF hasn't shown plus cramping could be implantation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hopefully it's a sticky bean for you! 🧚🏻‍♀️

apwilso · 06/11/2020 12:33

@Dex1521 ooooftt liquorice 🤭 do you like them anyway or not? Not a fan me! I'm always moody hahhaa!

@MamaMoonbeam let's hope just a bit weird at the min for me. Feel different this time 😳

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 12:40

@apwilso I swear I have pg symptoms already, been really gassy and boobs really sore.... 4DPO though 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 I get sore boobs with AF but not like this before it 🤔

Dex1521 · 06/11/2020 12:42

Honestly can say I’m enjoying the liquorice alsorts but not sure if it’s just cause I was craving them 😂 only one I’m not a fan off is the coconut one

apwilso · 06/11/2020 13:03

@MamaMoonbeam I'm on 10dpo and I'm gassy as anything, frequent wees today only, the odd cramp and light headed but my sore nipples have stopped 😳 I was like that after 4dpo though!

I've never been a fan @Dex1521 but glad you're loving it hahaha😂

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 13:25

@apwilso isn't crazy how every little body sensation is magnified a million fold during TWW ?
It's almost unbearable! 🧐

I can't imagine TTC for months and months, I would be a wreck! ☹
