Hi ladies,

Month 10 of TTC #2. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

I have a one year old daughter who took almost a year and a half to conceive. I previously had a chemical pregnancy not long before she was conceived.

Really hoping this cycle will bring good news ❤️

Please feel free to join if your ovulation is around 26th/27th April and/or AF due around 7th/8th/9th May.

Wishing luck to us all xx

Boots have their own brand range similar to the pregnacare which I find good but always out of stock cuz way cheaper 😂 I'm on prescription high strength folic acid cuz of my Crohn's disease aswell.
Worth getting bloods done aswell to just be aware of your hormone baseline, I was worried mine was out of sorts and seen a private doctor for a prescription and she said my horomones were grand thank god! Any imbalance at all can have such a knock on effect! Xx

Aw @Freya8 you'll get a BFP eventually. It just sucks that it seems to be all down to luck. But keep trying!

I just remembered I took Agnus castus the cycle I got pregnant with the one I lost. Not sure if it made a difference but something I thought about earlier...

Hahaha slugs unite! Ever since my coil came out I've been sluggin' it for like 6 days straight each cycle. I take it as a good sign but it can be a bit annoying! 🙈

Haha it's annoying but a great sign! So all my excitement is over I just started spotting as I normally do before AF but at least I can stop all my craziness I was getting obsessed with testing again 🙈 here's to a march baby for us all! 💖

That's actually great to take for balancing our hormones I took it when I came off the pill years ago as my hormones and skin went haywire!

Morning ladies, I hope everyone is okay ❤️

15dpo here now and my line looks like this:

I also had a 2-3 on a Clearblue weeks indicator yesterday. Touch wood, my lines are progressing nicely and getting stronger. I go on holiday next Saturday for a week so hoping that will help take my mind off worrying about things. So far, each day feels like a week and I’m only 4+2 preg! It’s a long old wait.

sending you all luck and baby dust xxx

@TTCing those lines look great!! My advice would be if you can, stop testing now it will help with anxiety ❤️

AF has started, so we move to the next cycle! Xx

@Freya8 ive always had the same response as you to AF arriving and feeling really despairing at the end of one cycle/start of a new one! You are not alone in that! I would usually feel better towards the end of my period. Sending you love xx

Daniki · 09/06/2023 08:51

@Freya8 aw it's so tough tho, I was upset yesterday but feel ok today just sore and have my period migraine 😅 delightful! Just have to be ready for the next cycle.

My husband so frustrated at why it's not happening when it happened so easily last year with the 2 miscarriages 😫 I wish I hadn't give my body a break after the second one and just continued on, maybe I'd be pregnant by now! Approaching my second due date so I know Il be emotional next cycle 😫

This group is great tho, feel like I can't talk to my friends like this they all would say "stop trying too hard, stop testing"etc not what I want to hear 🤣

StressyErica · 09/06/2023 10:04

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @Daniki and @Freya8 . I'm not far behind! I have long cycles so AF will probably start on Sunday or Monday and I'm definitely feeling it because I'm getting livid about everything. I think DH will keep his distance for a bit. 🙈

Ah I know what you guys mean about the new cycle. It's like there's still that tiny glimmer of hope until AF actually starts and then you realise you have to do it all over again and it's mentally draining. We haven't been trying that long but I was hoping for a quick and easy process but guess not! But we just need to keep going. 💪 Let's get these hormones out of the way and start getting ready for the next cycle. I really want a March baby so I'm going to manifest one. 😂

And excellent lines @TTCing ! 😍 Gosh I remember the counting of the weeks and time just seemed to go sooooo slow!

missmoosh · 09/06/2023 10:40

So sorry to hear AF has arrived girls!

Mine has just ended so I'm back into the swing of the things again.
Deleted all my social media and Flo app this month, can't be dealing with all the announcements lol. Probably try to take a little step back on here as well just to give myself a mental break from it all!

@missmoosh good idea, try and plan some fun things for you and husband to do this month and relax a bit I think we all need it! That's my plan for this month anyway 🙌🙌💖💖💖

StressyErica · 10/06/2023 17:24

So I got a BFN this morning and it's 13dpo. Stupidly I went and dug the test out of the bin and I think I can see something. It's probably an evap but I did an opk and the line was way darker than it has been recently. I'm freaking out a bit and only have one cheapie left. Think I'll save it for the morning and see what happens. I totally feel like AF is about to arrive but this has thrown me off a bit!

Freya8 · 10/06/2023 20:38

@StressyErica oooh please please let it be pos tomorro morn! Wen u due af? Xx

StressyErica · 10/06/2023 22:00

Fingers crossed but it's probably a BFN lol. I'm a bit irregular but should be due tomorrow or Monday? I don't know if it's a coincidence but I am feeling ridiculously nauseous all of a sudden. I had to take myself to bed early because I thought I was going to be sick. I think it's probably something I ate or I haven't drunk enough after being out in the sun, but the feeling reminded me of the horrendous sickness I had in my first pg. I do hope it goes away asap!

Daniki · 11/06/2023 03:52

@StressyErica ooh fingers crossed!!! 🤞🏻🤩

Freya8 · 11/06/2023 07:00

@StressyErica well any news? Xxx

StressyErica · 11/06/2023 08:22

Sorry for getting your hopes up! It was a BFN! I know it sounds weird but I am relieved because I felt (and still feel) so rough I was terrified I was pregnant and it was going to be another HG pregnancy. I had HG with my first and then lost it at 18+ weeks, and I felt I had all that sickness for nothing and I think it messed me up a bit. If at 14dpo it's a BFN I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant so it must be a bug which means I won't feel like this for ages. 😃

So I'll be hanging out in this thread a bit longer! 🥰

Freya8 · 11/06/2023 08:44

@StressyErica awh babes like am gutted for you that it wasnt a pos but at same time im glad u feel relieved due to the past. Sendin love 💗💗 we get to do this altogether for another cycle xx

The coq10 one would be good actually! You could look for an all in 1, designed for conception! Proceive conception is good but it's pricey, but on their own website and on boots it's for 3 for 2. I used it to build myself back up after miscarriage, not using it now but maybe I should actually and I'll get pregnant this cycle! Iv still two boxes of the trimester 2 in my cupboard from July last year 🫠

Ah sorry @StressyErica 💖 we're all in for another cycle it seems! Hope if it's a bug it fecks off soon, we've had our fair share of them here recently.

My AF started in force today have been spotting the last 3 days.

@Bethpotter111 looks like EWCM so you possibly are! Cover all bases and dtd now over the next few days! Xx

Ttcmumma · 11/06/2023 10:26

So I gave in yesterday and tested... Cd27 of a usually 30 day cycle. Haven't tracked ovulation to know how many days past but thought I'm pretty close to AF now. Negative... I've been quite crumpy like pms recently and sore boobs but belly not cramping. I've woken up today to bloody discharge in my PJs and now I'm wiping I'm spotting pink. Either AF is on her way or only just implanting 🤷🏼‍♀️. Let's see what today brings!

Freya8 · 11/06/2023 11:47

@Ttcmumma awh i really hope its implantation for you xx

@Bethpotter111 looks cert like ewcm to me!!

@Daniki did proceive alter ur cycle in anyway? Ill take all these this month n sure see wat happens! I was on pregnacare the first month n sure i had 2 frickin surges an skipped a period lmao 🤣 dunno if that was to blame like but then i jus went on folic acid n vit d n ive never been more regular in all my life i swear!!! But obv as so depressed there went out an basically bought boots lmaooooo

Daniki · 11/06/2023 11:50

@Ttcmumma hopefully implantation, fingers toes and flaps crossed for ya 🤞🏻😂

@Freya8 no never altered my cycle and I fell pregnant straight away after my first miscarriage so hopefully it helped! X
