Preparing to TTC in 2022 - part 5

[WingingIt09]

Hi ladies, we're onto thread 5! I'm afraid I've completely lost track of the list since I took a break off Mumsnet.... so let's make an updated one!

Roll call for those

• TTC graduates.... pregnant ladies who are you and when are you due? Hope you're all doing well

• Actively trying.... what cycle are we all in? Any particular plans for this next one?

• Waiting to TTC.... what month are you planning on starting?

@DesertSnow I hope you get your BFP too!! Fingers crossed for little time stealers being carried into 2023, it'd be the best reason to have a dry new year! 😂

I'm a little lost trying to read through this thread it's so huge! But I'm trying to learn and take it in as I've never tried for a child so it's new!

I said to Mr about having a plan and he said surely we just do the mischief over and over? Nice to see where his priorities lie bless him 😂

BFN this morning at 10dpo! Thanks everyone who had their fingers crossed… will wait to see if AF shows now on Monday!

CD22 today, peak was around Wednesday, ovulation was yesterday and I feel a bit drunk. Progesterone can cause that. Will check LH again tonight, I suspect it'll be in free-fall now. So either today or tomorrow signals the start of the TWW. Good luck to all and I hope for many BFPs xx

@Bananatoast123 ahhh so sorry to hear that - will cross everything left that AF doesnt arrive monday!

I'm completely failing at keeping up these days! The chat moves so fast.

@Bananatoast123 sorry about your BFN.

@DesertSnow there should definitely be an edit button!

@SarahShorty welcome to the TWW. I'm now 4DPO, not confident of our chances this cycle as we didn't manage to DTD day of or day before ovulation. In some ways it's helping me be a bit more chilled as I'm not expecting to get a BFP

@Bananatoast123 I'm sorry you got a bfn

I've got my private scan tomorrow, absolutely bricking it 😭

@DanisEndo @WingingIt09 @EdinburghGirl1 thanks all! I’ve booked in for day 3 blood tests to give me peace of mind! My OH and I agreed to be proactive than reactive! Going to get these if they are all normal we will continue for 4 more months and then we will try get him checked and my internal structures! Just don’t want to get a year in and find out there’s something we can do! I know it’s still only 6 months of trying but feels better doing what we can control… if it all says we are healthy and normal then we’ll let nature take its course!

@Dreamingof3 good luck I hope it all goes well

Hi Ladies!!

I'm new here on this thread was on one of these threads when trying for my first and found it such a buzz being in it together with so many amazing women - it was an awesome suppprt network and would love to repeat it second time around!

I'm on cycle 1, about 6 days past ovulation and not dealing well with the dreaded TWW!!!

I already have a gorgeous 3y old who is SO ready be be a big sister. Excited to be starting this journey

@Bananatoast123 I'm so sorry for the BFN 😞 it sounds like you have your next steps all planned - everything crossed for your blood tests 🤞🏻 keep us posted

Had a wave of nausea hit yesterday and today, skin still sucks and I have some bloat - I'm not reading into it, could have been from the heat and could just be early period symptoms.

DPO 8/9 today. Holding out til Sunday to POAS (tests are in the house now too, which I'm struggling with)

Hope everyone else is keeping well, good luck with your scan @Dreamingof3 - will be thinking of you, & welcome @MichaelAngeloScreamedAtMe

@Bananatoast123 that sounds like a good idea.

@Dreamingof3 good luck with the scan today.

@MichaelAngeloScreamedAtMe welcome. I'm in the tww 4dpo so just behind you. Hope you've got a busy weekend planned. I find days with my DD keep me busy lol

@dobby13 fingers crossed they are positive signs

@Dreamingof3 good luck! Hope it all goes well x

Morning all.

Well, I crumbled. 9/10DPO and tested this morning with a FRER - BFN. I'll do a cheapie if AF doesn't arrive next week as planned, but at least that's put me out of my misery for now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Onto next month.

@dobby13 sorry to hear this. Hope you're ok

Thanks @EdinburghGirl1 - I'm okay, disappointed, but ready to try again next month ☺️

We will all get our positive at some stage ❤️

@dobby13 so sorry for your BFN too! Onto the next cycle together ❤️ It’ll happen for us! When is your AF due?

Thanks everyone, scan done! 1 healthy awkward little baby, measuring 9+1 so about where I was expecting!

Relieved 😌

Congratulations @Dreamingof3

Congratulations @Dreamingof3!

Today's been a hard day. DS has had multiple screaming fits- he still can't talk but he's got ear-splitting tantrums down to a fine art.

Sometimes I wonder if TTC2 is a good idea when DS has such high needs. We're waiting for an official diagnosis, but essentially it's ASD and Global Development Delay. Everyday is a constant cycle of exhaustion from him screaming at us in frustration.

A part of me thinks that a sibling would be good to help his development, but days like today, I second guess myself.

Congratulations!

Congratulations @Dreamingof3 - so pleased to hear that it went well ☺️

@Bananatoast123 - not until Wednesday or Thursday - we'll see when she deems to show (sooner rather than later I'm hoping)

@dobby13 i’m monday or Tuesday so we aren’t far off each other! What number cycle are you on? I’ve googled and only 50% get a BFN prior 6 months which has helped mentally! Trying to remember what’s important in life aside from this!

Congrats @Dreamingof3 so pleased for you!

@HeathenPlayingHouse I don't have any advice as don't have any children but really hope you're ok. I think it's completely understandable to feel that way even if your first child doesn't have additional needs. Have you spoken to your partner about it? Hopefully just a wobble and you will feel better about everything after some sleep

@Dreamingof3 Congratulations! Wonderful news xx
