Anyone else ttc #2? Thread 2

[Chanel05]

New thread ladies!

I feel like I need a hug/ Mumsnet support 😄. On the plus side, I've had a lovely long luteal phase this month (about 14 days today!) which is great after last month was 10. I've been having mild cramps for a few days mostly in my back and twinges here and there. Sore boobs which feel more sore today. But about 3/4 cycles ago my cycle was 31/32 days and I'm on day 31 so very much expecting I might come on tomorrow 😥 I'm too scared to test, somehow waiting for me period feels a bit easier even though each time I go to the loo I'm dreading it haha.

This waiting is horrible and I don't know why I'm doing it to myself! But each day for the last few days I've been thinking okay I'm sure I'll come on today. I still could today! Or tomorrow ...

The frustrating thing is I felt like I was coming on when I was pregnant with my daughter but I don't remember how crampy I was, just that I did feel like I was coming on ... Ugghhh

Hugs please 😅

After a five week spell on the pregnancy board I’m back. MMC was diagnosed this morning ☹️

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so sorry 😞😞 take care of yourself over the next few days, that must have been very difficult news 😞 I hope you have support around you x

@lovesT Yes my husband has taken a few days off work to look after me :) We’re doing ok, just keen to get back to trying.

@TheBirdintheCage oh that's good 😊 I hope it doesn't take too long for you x

Wow even her pears were laughing at her.

May I join? We have finally made the decision that it’s now or never so we have started to try! Fairly confident we’re out this month. Never really focused too much on planning around ovulation for our first LO, we just went with the flow but not as easy with a LO.

How are everyone? Sorry to hear of peoples difficult experiences 😞 sending though and 💐

Hi can I join please? TTC for 6 months now with ovulation tests but still not happening, finding it stressful and nor sure if anyone has any other tips to help please? I'm turning 34 shortly and I keep reading lots of unhelpful articles about how mu fertility will decline rapidly at this age 😭

Can totally relate to this, I have been told this six times or the last month - helpful 😞

Anyone awake? 😊 I haven't been sleeping well the last few night, that mixed with my daughter waking up a lot and the fact that we are moving today means that I'm up at 5:30 😴.

Aoz according to my Premom app, my period is 6 days late. I've been having cramps for maybe 5/6 days now but they basically disappear at night and this morning they haven't started again. My boobs have been sore but seem to be a bit less sore in the morning, not sure if that's due to my daughter having milk in the night. They seem to be more sore later in the day.

I've been putting off testing because I'm too scared to get my hopes up and then it be negative .. I don't want to tell my husband yet either because I don't want to get his hopes up 😅.

I'm trying to get myself to test this morning, may as well if I'm up this early!!

Well flip!! I got the courage to take a test and ... !!

Now comes the anxiety of hoping it's a healthy one ❤️🤞🙏. I think I'll buy a digital text later!

@lovesT omg 😭 that definitely looks positive!!! Please do a digital and let us know! Im so excited for you! 🤞🏾

@lovesT eeeek amazing!! I've been keeping an eye on this thread and I've been routing for you 😍 get a FRER!!

Yayyy @lovesT!! I just came on to ask how you're doing and so so happy to see this! Congratulations!!! So happy for you. 🤞🤞🤞 It's a sticky bean, I'm sure it will be. 6 days late is SERIOUS willpower, no idea how you lasted that long.

Welcome to the newbies @Kelbelz17 and @Izzyboo1234 🙂

@TheBirdintheCave😔😔 sending you love, hope you're doing ok. ❤️

I think I'm 1dpo or 2dpo today. Ive had a horrible cold but we did DTD day of my LH peak and day after so 🤞🤞🤞🤞 after not being sure I wanted to try this month for various reasons, the waiting game and hope is back! 😅

@lovesT how are you feeling, have you told DH? X

@GreenFlipFlop @whatsthecraic thank you! 😍😍

@Skylark1990 haha thank you!! I don't know how I had the will power but I just kept thinking surely not 😅 also we moved to our first own home today so there has been lots of distraction!!

We had lots of people helping us move today so now they've all gone I finally just told my husband, he's so happy and can't believe it as we missed my peak due to him being away this month 😄. I took a digital and it says 2-3 weeks!

I've been taking Pregnacare for a few months but I wonder if taking a vitamin B complex and vitamin C has helped at all as last month my luteal phase was 10 days and my boobs are so sore haha. I've also been cramping quite a bit but not at night.

@Skylark1990 fingers crossed for you this month!! 🙏🤞🤞 And of course everyone else ❤️❤️

Whoops was supposed to add this

@lovesT Aw I'm so pleased for you, congratulations!! 🎉 I've been stalking the pages waiting for your BFP! Such a lovely day to find out too on the first day in your new home ❤️

@lovesT

Ahhhhhh congratulations 🥰

Thank you for the welcome 💐

Hi,

34 (nearly 35) newly TTC. Wondering what all the abbreviations are on the threads. Can anyone help?

Thanks so much everyone, really hoping for more positive pregnancy tests on here 😊 of course it doesn't feel real but I'm excited! Also for anyone still breastfeeding it makes me happy that breastfeeding didn't stop me getting pregnant x

@JEGGLE12 Hi Jeggle, welcome 😊
Are there any abbreviations in particular?
OPKs - Ovulation Pregnancy Kit (I think?)
DTD - Doing the deed
TTC - Trying to conceive
BFN - Big Fat No
BFP - Big Fat Positive
AF - Aunt Flo (period)
EWCM - Egg White Cervical Mucus
CD - Cycle Day
LH - Luteal Hormone
DH - Dear Husband
SPEM - Sperm Meets Egg Plan (having sex every other day)

Hope that helps 😊 took me ages to get my head around it all initially!

@whatsthecraic91 It must not be too much longer for you now?! How are you doing? How many weeks are you? Hope you're feeling ok!

14 dpo, bfn, on and off cramps, breasts been tender for about 3 days now. Really want a positive. How long should I wait?
