TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

New thread ladies as were nearly at 1000 and I don't want to lose you guys 😂

Thanks @Tropicana1 😊 how are you feeling?

@Tropicana1 🙋🏼‍♀️ hello again!

Hi ladies! Nice to meet you all! How are you all feeling? Xx

@Alice1608 I'm going to grumble even though the pregnant people should be grumbling. Ovulation hurts!!

@Alice1608 I'm feeling overly emotional this evening for some reason 🤦🏼‍♀️
Do you have any children or are you trying for your first?

@MrsCristiano aww bless you! Is it like period pains? As I don't think I get a pain. Ovulation is CF17 for me and I don't notice, but I'm cramping like pains now and 6DPO. So this isn't normal for me.. and I've felt a little queasy today, so wondering if perhaps there is another reason.. xxxx

I read the entire thread and would love to join please? I feel I almost know you all.

TTC #2 and currently in theTWW. Symptom spotted like crazy last month, late AF and lots of BFNs. I'm determined not to symptom spot this month.... (spoiler alert - I already am! 🙈)

@MamaSJ15 I have a DS who is 12 years old. He was a severely premmie baby at 25 weeks and I've been scared shitless since of another. My fiance and I would like to try for another but I'm worries at 35 it may not happen and will overthink everything because of past experience lol
Anyways.. what's making you emotional tonight? Can I lend a listening ear? Xxx

Hey ladies, any chance I can join?
TTC baby number 2, this will be month 6.
Have one DS aged 3 that was conceived after a laparoscopy to diagnose severe endometriosis, had been trying for about a year prior to that.

@Alice1608 all good signs 😊 we were DTD last night and I swear he must have poked at it because the pain 😳 which turned into period like cramps. I was literally up all night with a hot water bottle. Got to sleep about 4am.. it kicked off again there but is ok now. The good news is I AM DONE with the timed DTD !

@MamaSJ15 you ok? It's a hard slog which will likely end in AF for me but sure 🤷‍♀️ I've literally done all I can. I've been off these 2 days so back to some normality tomorrow

Welcome @Crazycatlady19 @canonlyhopexo !
Aww @MrsCristiano that sounds so super painful! Has the pain stopped now? Or is it still hurting? Xx

@alwaysseeingstars mildly nauseous today, eaten my calorie requirement in dry jacobs crackers I think 🤣 how are you?

@MrsCristiano yay for ovulation though it's here 🙌🏻

@Crazycatlady19 great name, I lam definitely a crazy cat lady 🐱

@canonlyhopexo welcome! Did they suggest you might need another laparoscopy prior to TTC number 2? I know it was recommended to me after my first and was about to explore getting a second referral for it when we conceived last month

I can't remember but is it normal to feel like you need to go to no.2 and can't? This has all started since the cramping.. and similar to monthly cramping, although then I normally have a slight case of abnormal stools. No idea is this is all normal and good signs or not? (Sorry if too much info! I just couldn't think of a polite way to word!lol) xxx

@Alice1608 all good now. I'm absolutely shattered though. DH sleeping in spare room tonight too in case he gets over amorous..I think I scared him last night 😂

Welcome @canonlyhopexo and @Crazycatlady19 ❤️

@MrsCristiano haha your DH doesn't sound funny in your posts and so very supportive! Did the cry out in pain not deter him? Lol xx

Thank you @Alice1608 💖

@Tropicana1 I haven't seen my consultant since my debrief appointment in December 2018 when I was already 7 or so weeks with my first, and I haven't spoken to anyone about second time round. The wait time for a lap atm is years. This would be cycle 6 which even for someone with no issues is quick conception I believe (should it happen now). But then again, if I went to GP and said it's only been 6 months would they tell me to try for longer before a referral - or because there's already concerns identified they'd "accept" it - I had kinda pushed it to the back of my mind tbh so unsure as to what to do really x

@Tropicana1 I have 2 cats. They hate me.

@Alice1608 I think constipation is one of my earliest signs. If I'm going too much I know I'm out b4 a bfn. I've a big age gap too. DD 16 but was a whooper of 8lb 13 at birth

Thank you @MrsCristiano hope you have a more restful evening tonight. I feel your pain sometimes, it can be like that for me at times! 🤍

@Alice1608 shockingly it turned him on. I think I'm married to a sadist 😅

4 weeks Friday to the wedding and then it's pills in bin time... been loading on the pregnacare conception vitamins - has anyone else noticed stronger smelling/more yellow wee when having this?
Any hints/tips for starting this journey would be amazing! Excited but super nervous in case something is wrong!

@MrsCristiano so you go too much when on your period and then feel the need to go but can't when things maybe pointing towards a pregnancy? I never knew this before! Lol
I just know I have the cramps like the monthly and this normally indicates needing the toilet, so I know something is different now. Lol not to mention I'm not due for another 8 days and feel abit queasy lol

And ha! Maybe you did marry a sadist lol but he is certainly questioning his choices from the spare room.tonight haha xxx

Aww congrats @PPop! My wedding is on 4th November! ☺️
I think you seem covered for the moment, well done with the vitamins, I sidnt know about this the first time.around! Lol xx

@Alice1608 yes! Exactly what I meant to say in a roundabout way. For me anyway! God im tired 😴

@MrsCristiano oooo this is good then! I just have to hold out till at least 11DPO to test! Pray for me that I dont let my impatience get the better of me! Lol xxx

@Alice1608 thank you! We are eloping to Las Vegas as that's the kinda people we are small group going over and it's been broadcast to those who can't make it! Saved us a fortune and it's my last whoop 😂

How soon after coming off the pill did people start doing ovulation tests? I haven't had a period for ages as I have the desogestral so just go back to back... no idea what my cycle is like! No idea what fertility would be like but googling stats it looks positive!
