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

Haha I know, it is frustrating!!
I have had a strange burning sensation on my right hand side this afternoon/evening, around my right ovary area. Could be another symptom that means nothing, has anyone else had anything similar?

@Originalusername6432762 don’t even get me started 😢 my youngest sister was in secondary school last year 3 girls in her class got pregnant in their last year there (aged 15-16). Makes me so angry thinking about it they just live off benefits and have a house given to them I know they’re probably not bad mums but they had they’re whole lives to do things before getting pregnant and I feel like I’m letting my OH down at times because of not getting anywhere with TTC. We’ve only been trying a short time and I already feel bad.

@LRW26
Don't panic too much. My surge often comes within a 36hr period! Test a couple of times tomorrow to keep an eye on the progression

TTC chat!
LRW26 · 06/11/2020 21:51

@MamaMoonbeam ah okay, thank you. I’ll test a few times tomorrow and hopefully I get a surge 🤞🏻

MamaMoonbeam · 06/11/2020 21:53

As long as you DTD in the run up to the surge, you'll be alright. Watch out for CM too, that's a good indicator @LRW26

Originalusername6432762 · 07/11/2020 09:37

This sounds stupid but I'm quite proud of myself for surviving this 2ww 😂
Af due tomorrow - doing a cheapie test first thing unless it arrives early, I'm looking forward to a cider when it does!

BellaStar2020 · 07/11/2020 10:30

@Originalusername6432762 fingers crossed for you!! Let us know how you get on. My af is due in Thursday

Waiting2BeaMama · 07/11/2020 10:55

Hi ladies, how we all getting on? I’ve been spotting on and off since Wednesday which is super unusual for me, but now thinking it might not be implantation as surely it wouldn’t go on for days?
@MamaMoonbeam I’ve been getting twinges in the ovary area as well. Still having cramps, sore boobs and a bit or lower back pain.
I stupidly did a test today even though I knew it would be negative, obviously got a bfn 🙈 don’t know what possessed me 🤷‍♀️

LRW26 · 07/11/2020 10:56

@MamaMoonbeam we decided this month we’re just going to DTD every other day for the whole month so that we don’t miss it! I had a second close family member announce they’re pregnant yesterday, who ‘wasn’t trying’, and it just feels like a kick in the gut (they don’t know our situation). I just so hope this month is our month.

This is our 9th cycle (I miscarried on my 6th) and it’s just so frustrating. We’re both 26 so I honestly didn’t think it would take this long. I feel so much for those who have been trying for years.

Fingers crossed for all of you for this month too! 🤞🏻

BellaStar2020 · 07/11/2020 11:02

@Waiting2BeaMama I caved today too and got a really faint positive, I mean really faint so I am going to disregard it.
I will test again on Monday.

BellaStar2020 · 07/11/2020 11:04

@LRW26 i can imagine it being frustrating after trying for so long. I havent been trying for long but my other half didn't want to start trying until recently. In that time my younger brother has had 2 children and I love them to pieces but whenever i see them I have a really bitter sweet feeling afterwards because I so want my own children. FX for you that it happens soon xx

Originalusername6432762 · 07/11/2020 11:09

@BellaStar2020
Faint positive is still positive isn't it???

BellaStar2020 · 07/11/2020 11:12

@Originalusername6432762 I don't know. It was a Sainsbury test and after looking up reviews there seems to be a LOT of people complaining about false positives. Its kind of made me feel really bad, a bit on the fence, I shouldn't have tested today!!!

MamaMoonbeam · 07/11/2020 11:12

@Waiting2BeaMama my boobs are so sore 😭 more sore than usual but don't know if preconception vits would effect that? Feeling seriously fatigued and irritable too.

Omg @BellaStar2020

@LRW26 the pregnancy announcements are such a boot. I think im ok and then an announcement and it really floor me so can appreciate the feelings you're having. Im sorry it's not happening as quickly as you'd like, fingers crossed this is your month - scans in time for xmas, hopefully

@bellastar2020 ooh! Fingers crossed for you! I know how it feels. My 2 younger sisters had babies within 3 months of each other and my OH has only just agreed to start TTC so this is our first cycle. Im going to so frustrated with every BFN whilst my DNs get bigger

apwilso · 07/11/2020 11:12

Still no sign of AF for me😳 quite usual for me to have such a long cycle!!

OP posts:
Waiting2BeaMama · 07/11/2020 11:16

@BellaStar2020 faint positive is still a positive!! Congrats 👏 🥳
I’m going to try and wait til at least Tuesday as I just annoyed myself today. Worried with all the spotting that it’s just been af or something that’s causing my symptoms 😞

Waiting2BeaMama · 07/11/2020 11:19

@MamaMoonbeam my boobs are really sore especially at the sides and they feel quite hard. Not sure if this is normal or if I’ve just never really noticed before.
Just wish the next week would be over lol 😫🙈

BellaStar2020 · 07/11/2020 11:20

@apwilso fx for you. When are you going to test?

@MamaMoonbeam yeah I then feel horrible that I feel that way too!!

Originalusername6432762 · 07/11/2020 11:27

@BellaStar2020
If I was you I'd buy a couple of the branded early tests and do one straight away!

My SILs pregnancy announcement has been a blessing in disguise! I was upset, especially as they already have a 5yo and my bro has a 14yo, but my mum told them about us trying and it's given me someone as to talk to as she found it difficult too.

1992EM · 07/11/2020 11:28

I hope everyone is well . I have lost track of the chat. Has there been any BFPs ? Good luck to those still waiting on AF /to test. I am now cd 12 so heading into fertile week soon. I should ovulate between cd 15 to 18 roughly. X
