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 I completely agree. Every twinge, ache pain. I have never been so attentive everytime I go to the bathroom just to check if there is anything slightly different colour down there!!

apwilso · 06/11/2020 13:29

@MamaMoonbeam it's mad but it I come on my period I'll be annoyed because what's all these symptoms!

@apwilso @BellaStar2020 it's maddening! What cycle are you 2 on?

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 13:43

@MamaMoonbeam I am only on my 1st cycle so not having much hope it will stick this month but will still be frustrated 🤣. I really feel for those that are much further along than me in the TTC journey. How about you?

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 13:47

@BellaStar2020 I'm first cycle too! I will definitely not be happy to see af. Im 37 so worry about my age 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 13:52

@MamaMoonbeam. Don't worry too much about your age, I have lots of friends who have conceived naturally and relatively quickly who are older than yourself. I am 31 but my mum has been telling me to freeze my eggs for about 5 years 🤣.

Hi ladies, this is my first time posting here. I am on CD1 of cycle 4 ttc. Got my period today after thinking that I might be pregnant this cycle, guess not. I ovulated much later so had a much longer cycle than usual of 29days. Feeling really upset, frustrated, disheartened.. Was my first time tracking bbt and using ovulation sticks so hard not to wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Periods is very painful so doesn't help me feel any better. Currently feeling sad about everything and allowing myself time to wallow

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:04

@BellaStar2020 thank you. Both of my younger sisters had babies this year and my OH finally said we could start trying but I didn't realise how invested I would feel in it.
Haha! Bless your mum, that's cute!

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:06

@ttcjourneyy I can understand the need to wallow. Pregnancy isn't guaranteed even when everything it's done perfectly by you. Fx you get your sticky bean soon ... and plenty of baby dust 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

apwilso · 06/11/2020 14:08

@MamaMoonbeam cycle one me! But far too frustrated

@apwilso @BellaStar2020
Yea! Frustrated first cycle ladies! When's AF due both?

Originalusername6432762 · 06/11/2020 14:19

@Waiting2BeaMama
Thanks!

I thought I had cramps but I'm thinking it's too high in my abdomen now so it might be the curry I had at 10am 😂😂😂

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 14:19

@MamaMoonbeam af is due on the 12th. Everything is crossed. How about you?

apwilso · 06/11/2020 14:22

@MamaMoonbeam mine was due yesterday

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:24

@Bellastar2020 I have a longer cycle so not due til the 16th 😭 it seems like so far away!

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:27

@apwilso oh yes! I remember you saying before now. I can't imagine being late and the tests not bring conclusive. I really would go mad. Are you working at the moment? Got something to keep you busy to stave off the knicker watch a bit?

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 14:34

@MamaMoonbeam that's frustrating. Although it is frustrating, it is so nice to have you ladies to talk to.

@apwilso fx for you also. When are you planning on testing next?

apwilso · 06/11/2020 14:35

@MamaMoonbeam yeah luckily I am but been needing the toilet loads and keep checking! But yeah well annoying! App told me yesterday for AF but now saying Tuesday so I don't know😳

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:40

@bellastar2020 it's definitely nice to have a couple of people in the same boat to talk to! 😊

@apwilso I suppose then that a test on Tuesday should be giving a more clear answer? Maybe? 😬

apwilso · 06/11/2020 14:48

@MamaMoonbeam can't help myself though hahaha.😂😂😂

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 14:52

@apwilso 😂😂 how many ICs do you have left?

Dex1521 · 06/11/2020 17:04

Treating myself to a cheeky glass cough maybe bottle cough of wine as bored of staying off the drink. Doubt there’s any sign of a normal cycle coming for me anytime soon so why not 😂 🍷 so sick of waiting for my cycle rn honestly would give my left kidney for one!

BellaStar2020 · 06/11/2020 17:29

@dex1521 have a glass or 2 of wine lovely and relax, it will do you good

LRW26 · 06/11/2020 18:25

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
I’ve just got a question about OPKs.. I’m using them this month to try and pin point when I would ovulate. I’ve been taking 1 everyday since AF stopped (I did miss a day by accident) and the app says I should ovulate tomorrow. Does the surge just come out of no where? I’m concerned that my levels have been really hit and miss, some days really low. I wasn’t sure if this was supposed to get darker over a few days or if just on the day I ovulate, it’ll be much darker? Can anyone advise please?? Xx

@BellaStar2020 @Dex1521
It's so frustrating when you try and be all sensible and you still don't get pregnant, and there's loads of people that get pregnant when they're drunk 😵
