Keep calm and TWW.. yeah right!

[beckyBP]

Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

@bluemagicalsky I had bleeding very early on with my first pregnancy and everything was absolutely fine, go and see your doctor and get checked, I think bleeding early on is quite common, also have heard of people having periods still throughout their pregnancies. Hope you're ok

Oh bless you @bluemagicalsky  I hope like @peach1234 says it may actually all be ok for you 🤞🏻

Hey ladies, please can I join? I'm 5dpo and it's our first month ttc. I had my jaydess coil removed beginning of november, and periods not come back yet. I went for a pelvic and fertility scan yesterday as I just for peace of mind, and the sonographer said I had ovulated from my right ovary and endometrium was 7.15mm thick but I don't know if that's good or bad. Feeling pretty normal, some slight cramps but mainly what feels like a gassy feeling in the bottom of my stomach without passing wind. Anyone else had that? Testing on 23rd so really hoping for a bfp

I’m on my first month TTC our first.
Today is 12dpo with AF due on Tuesday. I had what I think was a faint positive this morning (not FMU) on a FRER. Just got to hope it sticks!!

Thank you so much @Chica1990 @peach1234 @mooloop Really appreciate the kind words, knowledge and advice ❤️

@beckyBP ah sorry to hear that but keeping positive is key to keep your body healthy ahh its normal to cry though those hormones are crazy this is coming from me who has PMDD are you taking vitamins? Makesure you get plenty of dark green veggies in system ready for next cycle wouldn't hurt to get hubby eating his greens too lol
Heres to the next cycle atleast we can enjoy some vino with Christmas Dinner

@beckyBP I started with brown blood this morning, af is due today, so think I’m out this cycle! Xx

Awww sorry to hear that @Jordie24 it's never easy seeing AF turn up

AF was due today for me but not arrived yet. Been having cramps for a few days and full of spots though so I've no doubt it's round the corner

Hey dolls.

Took some time off whilst AF was here to settle into my new job and also not obsess over TTC.

Only cycle 7. I went and bought some pregnacare conception for me and wellman for him and I'm going to get some preseed.

I don't know about you girls but the last day of my period is the happiest/most chilled I am all month. No stress just ready to get on with DTD!

How is everyone?

Sorry AF came @Jordie24 🤍

You're so right @Melonbee90 pass me the Christmas wine 🍷

@bluemagicalsky oh gosh I'm so sorry doll. How are you?

*onto cycle 7 not "only cycle 7". Certainly doesn't feel like an only 🤦🏼‍♀️

@beckyBP hey lovely so glad you're feeling bit more relaxed now last day of af today for me! And got myself some baileys salted caramel to enjoy so I'm actually looking forward to that! Get yourself your fave wine girl enjoy yourself!!

@beckyBP It was pretty crushing at first and I felt so down, but I saw my best friend (the only one who knows we're TTC) and told her about it. I can't tell you how much better sharing with her made me feel. So I'm feeling positive and looking forward now. CD7. Here we go again! Hope we can both share some good news this cycle! I won't be testing before AF again unless absolutely necessary. Gutted I missed sharing a glass with my brother for his 30th & engagement but we had that positive test so was the right thing to do

@Melonbee90 ooo how was the baileys? You deserve it!

@bluemagicalsky bless you. Handling it like a trouper clearly. You're so right it definitely helps to talk. I've spoken to a few friends, my mum and sister in law about it. I know people don't like to but for my own sake I have to.

You defo did do the right thing and I agree, I think not worth testing before AF (easier said than done as we all know)

Hoping for an incredible start to 2021 for us!!

Hope everyone is ok! Xx

@beckyBP Completely agree. DH is great but there's nothing like talking to your mum or your best mate about these things.
Have a Great Christmas all. I'm in Tier 4 in Essex so will certainly be a bit different this year! X

@bluemagicalsky You're spot on!! And you've got us ☺️

Oh no I'm so sorry! I hope you shave a lovely Christmas regardless. We're tier 4 Wales so Christmas Day can be somewhat normal

What a year hey!! Xx

@beckyBP its lovely! Highly recommend it if you like baileys. This year is getting ridiculous with every day by the seems of it. When they did the announcements other day it actually made us consider putting ttc on hold but now we've settled a bit we're going ahead trying for baby #2 however u got to dtd for that though and we've not in ages because we're always so tired 🤣

How are you holding up did you manage to get any Christmas shopping done before we were put in to lockdown?

@Melonbee90 some of the girls keep banging on about disaronno velvet which I think is a bit like baileys.
Just a mental year isn't it. I just feel like nothing surprises me and I'm going to keep going with my life (what I can control) as much as I can! Mainly, TTC!

Yeah got pretty much all of it done and the last few bits are Amazon prime. How about you?

Used preseed for the first time tonight. I'm a fan! We didn't use it properly (not in my fertile week yet) just used a small amount on him but yeah.. it's a 👍🏽 from me! Xx

Merry Christmas ladies 🤍 hope you all had a good one.

I think ovulation is today for me (CD 15) but not tracking. Just trying to monitor CM but not confident I know what I'm doing there 😅.

We DTD CD 9, 11, 12, 14. Will also try to do it the next few night also. I definitely feel like it's easier in lockdown and Christmas period!!

How is everyone?! Xx

Merry Christmas!
Hi @beckyBP Great to hear from you. Looks like you've covered it very well! A BFP for the start of 2021 would be amazing!
I am also CD 15 but am 5DPO as I ovulate CD 10
DTD CD 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 & 13. Bad back pain and creamy CM today the same as my last cycle which ended in a CP. Only time will tell!

Are you working in between Christmas and New Year? I am and hoping that work will keep my mind off it! X

Hi anyone had achy thighs and was pregnant ny af was due today but havent started i got back ache and achy thighs which I don't get was wondering if anyone else has these

@imzeeimz1991 my backache rarely leaves me! Sounds like it's time to test for you!

Lush to hear from you too @bluemagicalsky

I think I feel an ovulation style pain today (not sure) but I'm going to DTD. Didn't yesterday in the end which annoyed me 😂

Well done you! You definitely covered it! Keeping everything crossed for you.

No not working, back in on the 4th! Xx

Hey ladies, going to join this thread! This is our first time TTC and am currently 2dpo. Feel like I have ages to wait. Fingers crossed to all of us waiting and trying and congratulations to the bfps! x

Hi all

Dreaded AF turned up on the 19th for me, 5 days late!! it's like our bodies play tricks on us. So I'm now CD11.

I've ordered some cheap ovulation test strips from amazon to give those a try as the CB ones were expensive. DH and I weren't really actively going for it last month, just DTD when we felt like it and not using contraception, but I'd like to try and up it a bit this month and try to DTD every other day if possible. Won't be too easy when we both go back to work next week though!

Hope everybody else is doing OK and had a lovely Christmas

@MsCrapola Welcome and wishing you lots of luck! ☺️
Hey @mooloop oh sorry to hear AF arrived, that really is such a cruel trick 😞 Did you do any tests in those 5 days?
That sounds like a great plan. Are you all settled in to your new house?
