TTC chat

[GAAJ04]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to start a chat, for anyone else like me who's trying to conceive!
It's the first time for me and although I'm only 3 months in I feel very overwhelmed and emotional!
I feel like I'm driving myself mad … I'm trying not to put any pressure on myself but it's so hard! I also feel quite alone … my husband is amazing but sometimes he doesn't understand.
I'm due on my period on Monday but took a sneaky test earlier today … negative :(

Anyone else feel similar to me?

Xxx

Hello.

Im with you there... I have a wonderful husband who wants it just as much as me and great friends but I find this journey so lonely 😭

I'm about 7/8 days post ovulation... Cycle 7 of TTC.... Feeling like this is not our month but need to way and see. I now totally dread AF...tgat feeling of starting a new cycle of getting so deflating.

Spending love ❤️

I'm with you! Only month 3 ttc but last month I went crazy POAS so trying to hold out this month and didn't bother with OPKs. I'm due on 29th so going to try hold out testing until next Saturday. We are only giving ourself 6 months as we have such a busy 2023 already and a tiny baby would be difficult! Fingers crossed. Its so disheartening seeing the BFN!

Yeah so hard. To be honest I've managed to not but a pregnany test yet I've just wait till AF arrives. I'm very tempted this month tho... Just want to know.
Do you track ovulation? Ive been using OPK however I hate the fact that when I get my surge it mean sill ovulate sometime the next 2 days 🙈 not sure I want to start tracking temps though. x

My period is due next Friday so Hopfully I'll be testing with you next Saturday 🤞

I haven't started using ovulations tests yet, just trying to have a lot of sex (husband is obv happy)
I'm trying to keep it as relaxed as possible to be honest! Consumes my mind though which is so hard!

Haha yeah I bet.
I think next month I might give them a miss and have a more relaxed month.
I prepared for an influx of early symptom spotting next week 😂🙈

Hi,

Also trying to conceive. Totally get what you mean, I feel like it's all I think about. Just consumes every thought! I'm currently in the TWW, about 8dpo. But we only managed to dtd once around ovulation so I'm not feeling very positive. Just counting down the days so a new cycle can start!!

I'm tracking my BBT at the moment, I think I might prefer it to OV tests. But this is just the first month so to be honest I'm not sure what I'm looking at, think it will take a few months to get the hang of.

Do you guys ever notice many symptoms during the TWW and convince yourselves they are pregnancy symptoms? Soul destroying!!

@Arly90 I have used OPKs but not this month. I've read about them being able to show a surge but you not actually ovulating too! I was convinced last month it was our month but it wasn't so trying not to obsess this month!

@HollyB7 I might try BBT. How do you find it and what thermometer do you use??
I literally symptom spot from the day I ovulate 🙈🙈 it drives me crazy

Hopefully one of us will get a BFP this month xx

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️.. I am now on cycle 11 ttc #2. I am finding the process so difficult and just cannot see me ever getting a bfp! I am expecting my period today and I think in these past 10 months I have became so in tune with my body I can feel it coming from about 5 days before 😞

I'm going to have to figure out what all of these letters mean haha

It's so nice to have something like this where we can talk and everyone understands what your going through!

Sending positive vibes to everyone

I only know as I have been reading these forums for about 10 months but only in the past couple of days have I decided to eventually comment 🤣

Also does anyone have an option on what tests are better? I've seen another post saying that clear blue tears aren't the best!
