TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@PeanuttyButter oh gosh, sorry about yesterday - hope you're ok. Can completely understand how a TWW over a due date would be hard! xx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you! The positivity stems from the same kind of realisation I think you’ve had- so much pressure on the process that it really puts us down and actually we have complete control of our mindset if we step back and take some pressure off! It’s important to live life whilst TTC! Weirdly having a chemical last month has made me feel more like taking the pressure off as the spiritual part of me thinks I was way too obsessed and focused on TTC last month which is why it didn’t work out!
Going into this month with a more chilled attitude! CD3 too so not far behind you!

Thanks @PeanuttyButter positive polly has left the building but she lasted a while.

Hopefully this is our month xx

@alwaysseeingstars thank you! I'm really tired and quite crampy, equal parts excited and anxious!

Hi ladies and short LP twins 😁 CD4 for me (i've calmed down a bit now after the huge disappointment after all that sex...anyways 😁) to my surprise the GP didn't ignore me and has booked me for hormonal blood tests, swabs and a scan. I also have an appointment with a gynecologists on Sunday that i am seeing privately. I will update you after in case the information helps you. Fingers crossed they help with my issue.

Caved and tested early BFP.
Can't believe it!
Your turn next @RMS0209 fingers crossed we both have a sticky bean this cycle!

This has made my morning!!! Congratulations I am sooo happy for you! X what a great line

Congratulations @PeanuttyButter 😍

Great news! Keep us updated x

Thank you all, I wasn't hopeful this month after it being just after my last loss. Still need to hope this is in the right place and that I make it past 9 weeks but let's hope bean number 5 is a sticky one!

Also this is my second month on progesterone post ovulation, for a short LP and the second month ive been pregnant in a row. So it really does work. I've started aspirin as directed by the consultant and hopefully they will start my clexane injections once a pregnancy in utero is confirmed xx

Hi ladies - hope it's ok if I hop on this thread!

Just started TTC number 2. Currently CD 13 and waiting for my positive opk, last month it was CD14 and the one before CD 18 so trying to have sex every other day waiting for it but I really don't have the energy 😂

Congratulations on your BFP @PeanuttyButter !! That's a good line!

@PeanuttyButter oh my gosh, congrats!! So happy for you 😊
@Tropicana1 welcome! I know what you mean, DTD regularly when you 'have' to is very different to just having an active sex life for fun!! Ask @RMS0209 to keep you sane, I think she's the queen of this thread for EOD 😂

Congratulations on all the BFP's! ❤ wishing you healthy pregnancies! Xx

Hi ladies!
Hoping I can join this thread having watched your journeys from afar(well aware that sounds stalker-like) but I've put my big girl pants on & decided to post!
I'm TTC #3, I have 2 DD (6 & 13) and this will be my OHs first baby.
I had my implant removed on 23rd March, cycle seemed to have kicked straight back in & judging by EWCM(who knew that was a thing?! Every day is a school day) I seem to ovulate CD13-14, saying that I'm only 2 cycles in.
Currently on 2WW at 6-7dpo, feeling a lot of cramping, I guess like AF used to be before the implant (I've had 3 back to back in between pregnancies) so not really sure where I'm at but have already become a POAS addict! I've ordered some OPKs for next cycle if I'm out this time, sorry for the long post!

Welcome @Clairey3010 and @Tropicana1 . There are some smashing ladies in this group 🙂

Congratulations @PeanuttyButter! I am so happy for you and I have my fingers crossed this will be your baby xx

@QueenBee22 You sound like you have yourself pretty sorted after you added all those extra times! You must have good stamina :p

@Hjudge56 I am glad you are feeling relaxed about TTC but please don't ever think your perspective or anything you did contributed to the chemical. Something just didn't happen the way it should have, and next time hopefully it will :)

@RMS0209 My experience tells me that early pregnancy is just like pre-period pain. And now I'm on about day 14 of "period pain" in a row but of course no period- not at all what I imagined. Although my DH swears he predicted this and "knew" pregnancy wasn't a break from my period/ severe pain I have. Not sure when he became an expert though :p I admire your self-control to wait. It is quite impressive... But you are also making yourself wait longer for potentially good news!

Thank you for your kind words @pocketbunny ❤️ Really appreciate!

@PeanuttyButter I really am delighted for you, such wonderful news.
Hi @Tropicana1 oh don't.. me and my OH were every 2 days until I got my peak on CD22/23.. never been so happy to have a peak haha, you can do this!

@alwaysseeingstars haha the keeping sane is lone gone! today's google searches are out of hand! how are you?
@Clairey3010 hi stalker! haha joking - welcome thanks for sharing your story with us :) sending you luck.

hellooo @pocketbunny how you doing? I keep getting off and on cramps very light though.. and I need to stop checking the toilet roll for bleeding (TMI sorry!) I think I was just feeling so hopeful before Im scared I am devastated its negative when I test..,BUT i cant have a few more loopy days so I think I might test Friday if I have no spotting by then? that way I will be 13DPO... next worry is what bloody test to get?! haha well done to your DH! he knows it all oooooh if I have good news you can give me in trouble for waiting so long to test! how does that sound ha ha x

Hi all, hope it’s ok to join!
2nd month TTC, hoping for a BFP end of the month, last cycle was longer than expected so think I ovulated later and didn’t take that into account when DTD!

Hi @HS99
Sending you luck for a BFP! X

Thanks, sending you luck too!
I didn’t realise how crazy I would get doing tests last month 😂 and how down a BFN actually makes you, fingers crossed for everyone x

@RMS0209 haha I bet they are, very proud of you for holding out on the testing so far!! I'm good thanks, just want AF to F off now to start the long stressful journey of OPK's 😂definitely not going to start them as early this time though as it seems I ovulate pretty late each month. Wishing you so much luck x

Hey @HS99 and @Clairey3010 !

Well said @pocketbunny to @Hjudge56 , there really is no 'fault' at all with a chemical! One of those things we have literally no control over.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Thanks @pocketbunny 😊

Haha @RMS0209 omg that is a late peak how were you not exhausted by the time that came around DTD every 2 days 😂 well done to you both I am impressed - fingers crossed it's paid off!

Well... light pink when I just went to the toilet... that's ok, will try stay semi positive - onto next month! :) x

@RMS0209 oh no! sending huge hugs x I've tried keeping positive by reminding myself in a perfect world I'd have a spring baby, so there's still time... (you may not want to speak to me if I don't fall pregnant within 2 or 3 months haha)
