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

Well now I'm super confused AF disappeared after 3 days of not really anything much. Boobs are still sore and I've still got cramps. I think its just hormones adjusting but who knows what this body is up to.......

apwilso · 10/11/2020 14:08

@Bouncytree I have had bleeding but like basically hardly any it's just been a different period. I feel as if I've been stressed so probably not. Mental health has been all over especially this weekend 😳 so luckily I'm off work Thursday and Friday and working from home today and tomorrow so more chilled. Thank you xxx

@1992EM thanks lovely! I think I might but I think I'm just being delusion. You'll have to let us know how you get on!!

@MamaMoonbeam sorry to hear that!!! I've still got my fingers crossed for you!❤️

@BellaStar2020 at first I thought it was but then I went off the idea. But I'll check to be on the safe side 🤭

@Waiting2BeaMama im sending all my wishes to you!!

@apwilso thank you huni! Feeing quite down today which is the first I’ve been bothered, but I’m sure It’s probably just pms lol 🙈

1992EM · 10/11/2020 21:52

@apwilso hope you are ok . Worst week of the cycle but you are closer to another chance and another tww.

Opks for me are now near peak but not quite there yet. Dtd each day hopefully this week and then onto the tww yet again 🙈 . So far has been a lot less stressful than previous months. It got a bit too much the last few months and was having a big impact on me. My oh and I had a discussion about it all and I think i was so worried about stressing him out, I wasnt letting him know how I felt and then getting annoyed when he didn't understand why I felt certain ways. Trying conceive plus this month which is similar to preseed so will be interesting to see what impact that has, if any.

Hey everyone, lost my baby at 13 weeks last month, and going to start trying again from now!! Feeling nervous but hopeful and would love to follow all your journeys too! Fingers crossed for us all x

Misty84 · 11/11/2020 07:37

How is everyone getting on? 4 more days left for me before AF does/doesn’t arrive...this is definitely the longest wait out of my 15 months of TTC...probably because I’m the most hopeful this time (I was super naive and hopeful right at the beginning but that soon waned!!). These “symptoms” that I’m experiencing this time could easily just be more intense PMS though...it’s so frustrating that most of the symptoms are so similar. Wish I felt nauseous!!!

I was just wondering, how are everyone’s other halves during all this? My OH certainly isn’t counting things down meticulously like I am, and I think he’s just more worried for me when I get my hopes up this much (looked positively alarmed when I ordered baby reveal cards in the middle of the night). He always says “Our time will come”...he is 30 and I’m 36...

Hope everyone has a lovely day! x

@Collins99
Sorry to hear ☹️

@Misty84
My oh doesn't like to show his emotions but I know he wants it just as much as I do. I don't think he has any worries about running out of time though!

apwilso · 11/11/2020 08:30

@Waiting2BeaMama bless you. Hoping the best for you lovely!

@1992EM that's true! I forget that it's not just me in the process I forget about my boyf and I spoke to him and he was like I'm stressed bless them!!! I've heard a lot of people speaking about preseed we looked it at but might give it a go this month!

@Collins99 I'm so sorry to hear about that!❤️

@Misty84 awwww I felt the same but obviously mine ended in BFN😟 my OH like I mentioned about is going with the flow the first chat we had he was stressed and he doesn't want to get his hopes up so he's trying to stay relax. He knows I'm dramatic so he doesn't know if he's coming or going with how I feel😂

Morning ladies, how are we all doing?
Im feeling quite ratty this morning and have convinced myself af will show up, as usual, on Monday. Saves me being tempted to test and being hopeful.
Probs just PMS, we all love the progesterone fuelled pre-menstrual, possibly pregnancy, related symptoms 👍🏻👍🏻
I suppose I am enjoying my boobs being the biggest they've been for a long time. Im assuming prenatal vitamins somehow makes the symptoms worse? 🤔
Anyway, halfway through the week and Remembrance day. Will people be observing the silence?

Originalusername6432762 · 11/11/2020 18:21

I'm leaving the forum for a bit as I need to chill out and stop symptom spotting.
Good luck everyone, hope you all get good news soon x

BellaStar2020 · 11/11/2020 19:06

Look after yourself @Originalusername6432762 xx

How is everyone else doing today? Xx

1992EM · 11/11/2020 19:47

@apwilso it is hard for them.

I have had my peak opk today and have ovulation pains coming and going . I will hopefully ovulate tomorrow. Then onto the tww again.

Dex1521 · 11/11/2020 19:50

Well I’m bitter @BellaStar2020 a girl from work who is still on maternity leave from baby no. 2 in feb has just announced she’s pregnant again. I know I sound awful and should be happy with her but she’s bragging all over Facebook about how easy it is to get pregnant and it they weren’t even trying to get pregnant so she’s admitting it’s a mistake 🤬

1992EM · 11/11/2020 19:51

@mamamoonbeam I hope you are ok . We did do the silence at work . I work in a school so had an afternoon of Remembrance day activities.

1992EM · 11/11/2020 19:53

DEX1521 I have also had 2 pregnancy announcements this week. One of which was a mistake. It is so hard. Especially when I am currently peeing on sticks to find out when I ovulate 🙈 I wish it was that easy

BellaStar2020 · 11/11/2020 19:54

@Dex1521 sorry you felt that way. It is really hard when you are struggling and some people seem oblivious to others situations. Keep your chin up lovely xx

BellaStar2020 · 11/11/2020 19:55

@MamaMoonbeam I did do a 2 minutes silence but was at home x

MamaMoonbeam · 11/11/2020 19:55

@1992EM I'm feeling a bit bummed out this evening. Got a banging headache, crampy/achey ovary/top of uterus (which is coming and going) and feeling cold. And my OH has to be up at 0430 for work so have kicked him to the spare room to sleep, so no cuddles :-(
Are you primary? I work as support staff in secondary

1992EM · 11/11/2020 20:13

@Mamamoonbeam I teach in a primary school. X

1992EM · 11/11/2020 20:17

@mamamoonbeam . The tww is a killer . I hate how close pms and pregnancy symptoms are. I wish you could find out straight away if you have a chance z

MamaMoonbeam · 11/11/2020 20:18

@1992EM aw, my da moved up to secondary this year. He's as tall as me now too and im not short!
How are you and your colleagues finding managing with covid? Are you all in bubbles? xx

MamaMoonbeam · 11/11/2020 20:18

*ds not da 🙄

My oh keeps asking if there's any way we can find out sooner. Dear of him

1992EM · 11/11/2020 20:22

@mamamoonbeam it is crazy how fast they grow up. It has been tough. We are lucky to have not had any cases at my stage yet . We are in bubbles within our year group . Much easier to manage I imagine compared to secondary. How are you guys finding it ? We also got our flu jags this week so feel a bit more at ease that at least I have protection against that .

1992EM · 11/11/2020 20:25

@mamamoonbeam I don't tell my oh if I test or symptoms etc as don't want to get him hopes up so just say if AF has arrived . Its hard as the tww is then very lonely but I don't want to get his hopes up at the same time. Catch 22.
