TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

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

@MamaSJ15 honestly that's the only way to get properties here too. Either you know someone or be nosey before it hits the market..yea not ttc related but keeps my mind off it at least 😅 I think im CD 17 today and praying I've ovulated. I cannot be dealing with bbt at all. My skin feels hotter that's the best I can do 🤣

@MrsCristiano the rental market is just crazy at the moment!
CD16 here, still not ovulated but think it's close 🤞

Glad we managed to DTD last night with this test this morning! 😂

Been toilet training DD this week so not been on Mumsnet much 🤣
Plus I got really miffed by some posts on the pregnancy board about lying about your symptoms to the doctors to get an early reassurance scan at the epu which just made me raging! 6+1 today, sure the hormones are making me permanently pissed off 🤣

@MrsCristiano yay well done to your DD amazing results! She should be really proud of herself!

@MamaSJ15 yay for peak finally! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@Tropicana1 hope your ok and feeling as sick as a dog, I know that sounds mean but symptoms are good!!

A girl in my work did this lied about ectopic pain and got an early nhs scan. Skipped in with a scan pic later that day. It angered me then and it angers me now. It's not fair when the nhs are crippled as it is xx

@MamaSJ15 brilliant!!! 🙌

@MrsCristiano so premom is now saying my peak is today, and so ovulation us tomorrow? Is that right? Or should it be today?

@MamaSJ15 depends on your next OPK annoyingly

@MamaSJ15 if your actual peak is today ovulation is tomorrow. Premom needs to see another reading before it decides 🙄

I know it can be exhausting and not quite as enjoyable when it's so frequent and planned but has anyone just tried DTD every other night from the last day of your period onward, without tracking and trying to time it exactly within the ovulation window?

So I'm 11DPO now, did a test on the AM of the 9,10 and 11DPO and BFN! Symptom wise seems to have calmed, apart from constipation and that's been since 5DPO and driving me nuts! So I drunk some prune juice and now I'm half going and half feeling constipated too 🙃 (sorry for too much info). It's super weird though as my tummy is doing all sorts right now and I'm thinking it's because AF is due in 3 days? And they feel like period pains? But them what's the last week been about as I never have cramping until the day before and day of my period. I'm so confused! Xxx

Does anything think these are positive sighs? Or just AF rearing her ugly head? Xxx

@Alice1608 could be implantation cramping!? Any spotting or anything? It's so cruel that both things have similar symptoms ☹️

@canonlyhopexo maybe, who knows!😫 And no spotting as of yet, but keeping an eye out! It feels like my monthly cramps now, but it's never this early before AF. Xxx

@canonlyhopexo I did the SMEP method once. Got pregnant it was another chemical 😭 less is more in my book

@MrsCristiano I did another this evening and it was almost as high but not quite so premom has marked this morning's as peak. Will do another tomorrow and hopefully I can stop then! Not sure we can actually be bother to DTD again 😂 thinking I'd ovulate around cd 14 meant we started fairly early and were not ones for DTD that often haha.

@canonlyhopexo we started off by no tracking and just DTD when we felt like so it was a bit more natural but it turns out I've been ovulating later than I thought (only known since doing opks) which means we've been missing the window 🤦🏼‍♀️ but if you know when you'd ovulate then something like that I'm sure would work well. But I do think that doing it too much wouldn't necessarily have the desired effect, the man would need sufficient time in between to 'restock' so starting too early may not be helpful.

@Alice1608 unfortunately it's so hard to know. I think I've mentioned before that I had one cycle where I had so many symptoms and was convinced I was pregnant but was definitely not! As someone mentioned it could be implantation. But at what dpo did the cramping start?

@MamaSJ15 yes I'm beginning to think it's all I'm my head! Cramping started at 5DPO and has been now and then and then today was stronger resembling AF pains. Xxx

@MamaSJ15 mines on the decrease thank god. 0.4 something today. No more timed DTD...til next month🙄

@MrsCristiano @MamaSJ15 we conceived that way the first time and had our son but it was also about 8 weeks after a laparoscopy. We haven't tried it like that this time around as of yet but thinking of giving it a go again but we find we don't have as much time 😂

@Alice1608 ah so too early for implantation then. How long have you been TTC?

@MrsCristiano that's good. How long are your cycles usually?

@canonlyhopexo yeah totally different second time around isn't it 😂 how old is your son?

@MamaSJ15 when is the earliest on implantation? And not long but its taken 12 years to pluck up the courage to do so after a extremely traumatic pregnancy at birth at 25 weeks. Xx

@MamaSJ15 he was 3 a few weeks ago 💙 ohhhh yes and even if we have a quiet night usually I just wanna chill out alone and enjoy being silent 🤣 we've been trying since March so not that long really but every month feels like a year when you're not getting the outcome you want right.

@Alice1608 I think implantation can occur between 8-12dpo usually. I'm sorry to hear of the traumatic birth. We did too with our DD, I had a reaction to the induction, put us both off having another for a couple of years.

@canonlyhopexo I know that feeling 😂 yeah we're about the same, Feb/March time. We tried for a brief spell last year and had a chemical. Decided to take a break then started again this year and had a miscarriage in June (I think it was June). Cycles have been all over the place since then but seem to be going back to a bit of a routine now. Oh it really does doesn't it!!

@MamaSJ15 aww OK, thank you and sorry to hear of what happened to you too, glad you are trying again and hope you get everything you wish for xxx

@Alice1608 @MamaSJ15 I could barely look at DH the end of SMEP month. I remember telling him pretend I'm someone else. It didn't work for him which I should be glad of 😂
