TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

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

It sounds quite promising I have to say! Really hope your AF doesn’t arrive! I don’t even know when my AF is due, could be tomorrow, could be weds or Thursday. It varies each month. Doesn’t help when you’re anxiously waiting 😂

@Eka94 I know, it's the worst part. But I've just got a faint line on an IC 🤞 photo attached

Omggg!! That’s a positive my lovely!!

Eeeee!!! 😃😃

@MamaSJ15 eeeeek! That’s exciting! Massive congratulations, let’s hope you’ve got a sticky bean x

Ah @MamaSJ15 that's amazing!

Ahhh congratulations I’m so pleased for you! 🥰

@Ncl31 @monsteramunch @Eka94 thank you 😊

Still TTC after 13 months for our first. We used ovulation tests last cycle and my period was due yesterday.

I did a pregnancy test and it was negative so I think I'm just a bit late (my periods can vary by 2/3 days). My nipples are really sensitive, my lower left back aches and I'm super bloated but I think I'm just trying to convince myself these are pregnancy symptoms rather than AF coming.

I think I'm 17 DPO but I'm rubbish at calculating it? All I know is I had a flashing smiley on a clear blue test on 20th Oct. We obvs tried that day and did the day before as well so fingers crossed!

Congrats to everyone who has conceived this cycle. For everyone else we will keep going!

@colourPink i feel you. I’ve been getting cramping and got a skin breakout but I got a negative test yesterday. However my period may not actually be due until weds or Thursday because my cycle length can vary. I’m taking it as a negative though and am expecting AF anytime now

@Eka94

Ditto here - cramps, back ache and skin breakout for a third day today but still no period.

Feel exactly how I do before my period usually so still assuming it's definitely coming. AF was due on Sunday / yesterday. And am 14DPO today.

Can't do another test today, it's too heartbreaking every time seeing that fucking white space where I wish there was a line.

So just have to wait I guess. I have terrible periods too which makes it even shitter every month it doesn't happen.

Sorry, pity party day here 😞

Hope you're doing OK

@monsteramunch yeah I’m totally with you, I wish I hadn’t done that test last night to be honest and just waited for AF. I’m too impulsive and impatient that’s my issue! I’m trying to keep myself distracted until the inevitable AF turns up but just wish we could get it over and done with then get on with trying again next month. Pity party today here too! 🎻

@MamaSJ15 oh my gosh, congratulations!! thought I'd check back here and see how you were getting on, that's wonderful news!

It's horrible isn't it - the bit where you're almost certain AF is coming but there's always a little bit of you that hopes. Then it's even worse when it finally does arrive.

I'm sad you're going through the same thing but it helps to have a pity party pal on here as sometimes I feel bad for bringing the mood with bad news when lovely people are sharing their BFPs

@monsteramunch it certainly helps to know you’re not the only one! And you’re right you do still hold on to that bit of hope.

everyone is going through their own unique journey on here and I think we will all understand there will be a mix of good and bad so don’t worry 🥰

@alwaysseeingstars thank you 😊 how are you doing? How far along are you now?

@MamaSJ15 I'm 18 weeks now 🥰 struggling a lot with tiredness but otherwise pretty good! How are you feeling? xx

@alwaysseeingstars aw lovely! Are you gonna find out the sex? I'm all good thank you 😊 AF would have been due today, currently 4+1 so very early days. Getting a bit of lower back ache on and off and I've been very hungry today 😂

@MamaSJ15 we are, we've got a scan next Thursday 🥰
How did DH react? 😊

@alwaysseeingstars aw lovely! So excited for you!
He was happy when I first told him then later on he was a bit anxious and started worrying about money again! But overall this is what we want so it's definitely good news!

@MamaSJ15 omg congratulations that is amazing 😍 love seeing positive tests!
I remember when you said your husband was concerned about money, i am so glad you guys didnt give up as money is always a concern and they are never enough! 😆

@alwaysseeingstars i am with you! On top of this i managed to fell down the stairs last night all the way from top to bottom and hurt myself quite badly. We spent the whole day at the hospital today but thanks God baby is fine and i have nothing broken 😭 i was so scared! I am just all bruised now and in pain arghh

@Kitty901 thank you. I'm glad we didn't give too!!
Oh no! I really hope you're okay! ❤️

@MamaSJ15 that's only natural, my DH has been worried about money since we were TTC, now it's both of us panicking as I'll only get SMP and I'm the main earner! Some serious working things out needed over the coming weeks... What will your due date be?
@Kitty901 oh no, hope you're ok? luckily baby is super protected in there, but look after yourself as that's not a nice experience at any time - very glad nothing is broken!!

@Kitty901

Oh no! That must have been a real shock but really glad to hear everything is OK.

I had all my period symptoms (cramps, skin breakouts, backache, tiredness, grumpy) other than bleeding on the day my period was due and the three days following. But negative tests including yesterday (three days late).

Now four days late, period symptoms have gone and still no bleeding. But as I had a negative test yesterday which was 15DPO, I'm assuming it's on the way.

So frustrating 😞

@alwaysseeingstars exactly the same with us, I'm the main earner and weve just moved to a house where the rent is higher 🙈 but we'll be fine! 😂 Baby would be due mid July 😊
