Preparing to TTC in 2022 part....7?!

[Dreamingof3]

Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@BethSuz27 oh no sorry about AF. Hope you're ok

@Welshgal85 fingers crossed for you this is your cycle

Thanks @LucyLoopyLu still nothing!

It’s Day 2 of what I thought was AF, it’s so so light, I’m wearing a pad and barely getting anything on it, it’s light pink and I’ve had no stomach cramps or leg cramps like I usually do, it’s very odd

@BethSuz27 maybe it's an implantation bleed? How many dpo are you? X

Good luck @Welshgal85 and @BethSuz27, sounds like you’re both still in this month 🤞🏼

@Houseelf90 hopefully though I’m not feeling hopeful at the moment… got another BFN earlier 🙃

@Welshgal85 oh that’s more frustrating just being in limbo 😩

@Welshgal85 oh no, sorry to hear about the BFN

I've just realised I'm meant to be on my period right when we're doing the beach part of our holiday. I'm absolutely gutted, don't know what I'll do as I usually have 2 or 3 really heavy days that are difficult to manage even when doubling up on pad and cup.

@LucyLoopyLu 15dpo, did a test this morning but nothing so think my hormones must be off this month and it’s just a weird light period

@Houseelf90 Got AF overnight so atleast I know where I am now!

oh no sorry to hear about the timing of AF @LucyLoopyLu I hate it when that happens! I know you can get tablets from the GP to delay period for a week, but then not sure how you’d feel about that?

hey! I’m quieter on here these days! Just catching up!

@Welshgal85 sorry AF showed, it sounds like it was a difficult month of being teased.

@LucyLoopyLu Thats the worst for you that AF is impacting your holiday! Especially as you decided to take a break from ttc! AF is the worst! Try enjoy your holiday as much as you can!

8dpo for me. No symptoms either way, after 12 cycles I’ve stopped trying to suggest it would be a positive this month! This one feels like the hardest so far as it means we officially aren’t one of the 84% who conceive in the first year.

I am feeling really stagnant at the moment. A friend is due end of May and another of our friend has got engaged. I feel like I’m stood still in life waiting for a BFP or Proposal so I feel like I’m moving forward and we are as a couple. It’s a really weird time, I just feel like I’m not living in the present because of it all

Hello all!

My plan was to take a break for a few months, but I can never really stay away! 😂

Today is CD5- my last cycle was 30 days and unmedicated, so I figured there was no time like the present to get motivated again.

I ran out of inositol pills last week and they were out of stock for a few days, but I ordered another 2 months worth today. I've made the decision to cut back on caffeine as I've been struggling with an overactive bladder for quite a while now, and I know that it makes a difference. I'm too much of a coffee snob to buy decaf, but thankfully I don't mind my tea that way!

Speaking of tea, I need to get back to drinking spearmint tea- 2 cups per day is meant to help reduce testosterone. Basically I'm trying nearly all the things I did before getting my BFP with DS.

Hope everyone is doing well ❤️

Just checking in. How's everyone doing?

@Dreamingof3 have you had your baby yet? 😅

@PinkButtercups no 😭😭
38+3 now and I just think I'll end up booking in a section when I see my consultant next Friday. I do have a sweep Wednesday though so who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️😔

@PinkButtercups I’m 11 weeks today!! Have my dating scan next Wednesday! I have days where I don’t feel pregnant at all and days where nausea is horrendous but looking forward to seeing baby again!!
How are you getting on? Babies ok?

@Dreamingof3 good luck for your sweep!!! Hopefully baby comes soon!! Hope you’re feeling ok!

I’m CD15 of cycle #7 and awaiting ovulation, should be within the next few days, so far we have BD CD10,11,12,14 so we are really trying 😅 we are using preseed for the first time this month which I’ve heard really good things about!
managed to book in a consultation with the GP to discuss everything, since my partner has low testosterone which can cause problems with sperm they should offer us testing, I’m looking forward to it and it’s nice to have something to bookmark in this journey…

I hope everyone else is doing ok!

@Houseelf90 I hope your scan goes well! I'm so uncomfortable 😂 baby is super low and having loads of Braxton Hicks and crampy type pains but they never lead anywhere 🙄

@Dreamingof3 thank you! Bless you, I’m not looking forward to that stage of being uncomfortable! Although you are getting so close to meeting your little one!! Have you finished work now? I’ve obviously got loads of time yet to plan but thinking 2 weeks before due date, I have an office job and can work from home as much as I like!

@Houseelf90 I finished ages ago 😂 I had really bad pelvic pain and quite a lot of holiday to use so left about 31 weeks. I'm glad though because I feel like Ive got everything sorted and spent lots of time with my older 2 as well. I think I'll have like 2.5 weeks maximum until we just evict her so getting really close now ❤️

@Dreamingof3 I don’t blame you at all, I’m rather jealous 🤣🤣 I think I’ll have a couple of weeks holiday to use but I want to try and maximise time off once little one is here as I think I’ll only be taking 9 months rather than 12

Hi everyone, thanks for posting and loved seeing everyone's updates.

I'm still on a break until we get back from our holiday. Going end of next week so that has come around fast! It's actually been good having a little time off from being consumed about babies and TTC. I have some new and exciting things happening with work when I'm back from hol as well so that's good.
Think my next cycle (11, not counting the break) will be April/May. I just really hope it happens for us soon

Hi everyone, hope all well. Lovely to hear your updates.

@Dreamingof3 Fingers crossed she makes an appearance soon!

@PinkButtercups Hope you and the twins are well?

@Houseelf90 Congrats! How exciting you're coming up to the dating scan, hope all goes well!

@LucyLoopyLu Good to hear you have some exciting work stuff to look forward to. Hope you have a lovely relaxing holiday and you get your BFP v. v. soon.

@BethSuz27 That's great news you're getting a consultation. I used preseed the cycle I conceived, so fingers crossed for you!

@HeathenPlayingHouse That sounds like a good plan, trying to replicate what was successful with your DS. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm approaching 20 weeks now and have the anomaly scan in a couple of weeks (DH is away next week when it was meant to be.) Fingers crossed all is ok.

Hi,

I got my BFP in January but wanted to wait until l got to the 12 week mark . Thankyou so much to the ladies here who l have vented to on many occasions.

Congratulations! ❤️

Congratulations @BritishDesiGirl 🎉
