TTC Feb 2021

[HattieJJ88]

Hiya lovelies 😘

I just wanted to Introduce myself, I'm Harriet I have a 10 month old and had my implant removed today! So we're going to try for another baby 🎉

I'm super excited to be starting the TTC process again and love to connect with like-minded ladies on the same journey ❤️

Hope you're all sane in lockdown 😘 xx

@MeltingSnowflake I believe I’m the same just waiting for AF to arrive! Although if I didn’t I would be so happy!! I’m keeping my brain busy and just thinking it’s PMS 🤣

Hi ladies. Looking forward to joining and getting my feelings out. I've been reading all the posts the last few days and It's great to feel like someone else is feeling how you feel. This is our 7th month trying. I'm 38. Have 2 kids, got pregnant so easily but that was 10 years ago....we've had some months where I feel we dtd at the wrong time and my cycles have been irregular since coming off the pill but seeming to come back to 30 days of so now. AF due in 2 days and I really thought this month was the month. Started spotting last night but convinced myself it could be implantation bleed so I did a test this morning....negative. I've had a cry and am ready to dust myself down and carry on again. Thinking of maybe going to the doctor this month....or should I keep going myself for a while....not sure. Just wanted to check in I suppose, I cant remember everyones names but wishing you all luck on your ttc journeys.

Hi @Dagray21 I know how you feel! Next month will be month 11 of trying for our first! We have had 4 friends and 1 family member post about being pregnant and god it’s heart breaking! I am 24 so young but I do have endometriosis so if it doesn’t happen this month I’m thinking of getting help as consultant told me to give it a year! We shall see! I’m not going to stress or panic just nice and chilled keeping my brain busy! Sending lots of love to you ❤️

Thanks @fraane. Wishing you luck too. Suppose if it makes you feel better it would do no harm to chat with the doctor at least. Sometimes even just doing that and hearing a bit of advice will put you at ease. It's so hard when everyone else seems to be pregnant! A good friend of mine didn't know.i was ttc amd confided in me about her pregnancy....her 4th, she wasn't happy to be pregnant....wasn't trying and while I was happy for her I just felt.....God! Why can't that be me!!!! And then you feel bad for thinking like that!!!

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well?
Cycle day 29 here...had tummy ache last night so assuming AF is on her way. Sounds like @MeltingSnowflake @Fraanne we are almost cycle buddies ☺️

What’s everyone doing to keep themselves busy? I’m working from home and it’s far too easy to spend 3/4s of the day symptom spotting in the internet 😂 I also don’t like my job so no drive to focus on that either haha! Any suggestions gratefully received!

@Hayesdays rubbishy mystery/thriller novels!

They’re getting me through 😄 Read a couple of Jo Spains and a Lisa Jewel (all not great but perfect for mindless reading!) and now I’m devouring The Holiday by TM Logan, which looks a little more promising.

Hahaha thanks @MeltingSnowflake I will defo have a look!

Hi guys, been quiet for a week so sorry! Hows everyone? How are you getting on @HattieJJ88 the heck is that possible so time to DTD every night

@Dinomama21 how you getting on x

Hey @Markygirl1995 how are you? Time to DTD every day now! Im at a similar stage to you, had a static smiley yesterday and cramps last night😁 BBT is all over the place though! Am I right in saying there should be a dip and then temperature shoots up after the dip? Its dipped slightly today, so I'm assuming it should rise tomorrow Tbh all of this TTC business and MN is keeping me sane from lockdown and work, dreading the TWW though not sure how sane I will be then!

@markygirl1995
Hey Hun!! I ain't a clue how I'm doing 😂😂 I think I may have ovulated 2 days ago. And we dtd a couple of times over those days. My ovulation tests are very clearly negative now. I'm testing BBT but I'm not sure how accurate this will be as I'm can be up several times with Baby which has an effect.

I think I'll just have to see this cycle through to get a true picture of where my cycle is at.. keep testing BBT etc. Xx

Thank you @Dinomama21and @MeltingSnowflake

What's worse is that darling AF has left me wanting to throw up since 1am, the joy, not even pregnant and feeling nauseous. It's either cramps or nausea - gotta love our bodies eh!

Looking forward to reading everyone's updates though, sending you all lots of baby dust!

I hate the TWW now and it’s only cycle 1 😂 So so tired but only 7 DPO. Holding off testing until AF is late as there’s so little chance in month 1 of TTC.

Lots of baby dust to you all who have had smiley faces on your OPK!

Absolutely sick of this now cd39, no AF and BFNs.... either I've ovulated late or my body is just pissing around to toy with me. And it's only month 1. Should have started proper tracking from the beginning rather than being in limbo land. Ahhh!

@pixiedust21How annoying! Have you been taking pregnacare at all? A few people have said this extends cycles 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Itsjustme20 oh really?? Not pregnacare but the Boots cheap version lol. Wonder if that's the same.

@pixiedust21 @Itsjustme20 I took pregnacare at the beginning of this journey and my cycles were all over the show! I decided to just take folic acid and it’s not upset my cycles! I mean I have long cycles anyway but with pregnacare some were 20 days some were 90 days! At least now they are nearly always 45ish days

Hey everyone, I'm new here!
I had my coil removed last week so we can start ttc!
I've started my folic acid and had a chat with my Dr to make sure I'm good to ttc on my daily meds and got the green light!
Not sure where I am in my cycle as I've had no periods on my coil (I was on my 3rd, it's been a blissfull 11 years of no visits from af!) so for now it'll be a case of wait and see! I'm hoping if my period is gonna show up itll be sooner so I know where I'm at!
Not expecting to conceive straight away but fingers crossed for the next few months!
Were not telling people we're trying so I thought this would be a good way to ask questions if needed and just chat with people going through the same thing!

@Fraanne ahh that is interesting !! I might look at just getting the folic acid then as I can't be doing with this every month lol.

@SkaterChick welcome!! I'm 1 month in and it's already an exciting and crazy time... definitely helpful to have this place as a sounding board :)

@SkaterChick Ah welcome!! Crikey I should’ve used the coil if you had no AF - what a dream 😂

Lots of luck and baby dust - hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later for you!

Thank you!
No af has been the dream. I'm honestly dreading her visit, my first visit when I came off the pill all those years ago was the worst thing ever. Hopefully this won't be as bad!

Hi @SkaterChick I’m on cycle 1 as well (ttc #2 for us) and have absolutely no idea when to expect AF let alone when I may / may not ovulate, so many unknowns but exciting to get started!

Hey @dunkedbiscuit I'm super excited to start my journey! I just found out I'm going to be an auntie again in July as well, great timing as now I can have their baby stuff when they're done with it 🤣🤣

@Dinomama21 all good here thanks chick, yeah mine was all over the shot too still is hahah! I'll share a pic of mine. Going to DTD till we are sore ahaha! First month if it happens that'll be amazing however I'm destined to have a 2022 baby for some reason.
