TTC May 2023 💖✨ previous MC March 2023

[Freddie15VES]

Hi ladies

I thought I’d create this thread if anyone wants to jump on.

I have a little boy who was 2 in April 💖

we decided in March to start trying for baby #2 and we were delighted to get pregnant that same month! Unfortunately we lost the baby at the end of April at 6w 4d

The MC is completed and I have taken an OPK this morning which looks to be really high. Not quite peak but definitely high which is just great that I’m ovulating again! I didn’t know what would happen. We both feel ready to try again this month so will be going for it.

Whether you’re TTC baby #1 #2 #3 etc you’re welcome to jump on ❤️❤️❤️

@Westy22 well I'm in panic mode now! When a wiped I have loads of cm mixed with pale pink blood and I'm not due on till the 1st of September 🙈 last time that happened to me was in January and found out I was having a ectopic in Feb! Am trying to be positive that the chances of it being another one is slim! And because I havnt tracked or anything I crnt be 100% sure where I am iny cycle. Xx

Ah really, maybe your cycle isn't where you think and it's ovulation spotting? Stay positive xxx @Jadeypie

@Westy22 yeh that's true possibly could be! Xx

@Jadeypie do you think there's also a chance you could have ovulated earlier? If so it might be implantation 🤷‍♀️ As @Westy22 try not to worry too much, if anything it might be a really good sign! Hope you're doing ok in general x

@Sez281 there's a possibility I could have who knows suppose time will tell. It's either ovulation or implantation it's not the norm for me to have spotting in-between periods that's for sure.

Am doing alright. With all what's gone on these last few weeks I haven't even thought about ttc but now I feel like a women obsessed again 🙈

Hope your doing well xx

@Jadeypie I definitely would take it as a positive, you see so many people having similar on threads so fingers crossed 🤞Glad to hear you're doing ok. Im sure as shitty as the ttc obsession can be it might actually be a nice distraction for you xx

Been a bit absent but so lovely to see so many positive updates. Im feeling a little upset this week, hit the fertile window this week but partner doing very long shifts at work so we haven't been able to even try. The months just seem to fly by. 2 friends have announced their pregnancies & another came over with her newborn so maybe im just feeling over sensitive

@Ttc2023x it can be frustrating when months just keep passing by and exspecially when you feel like you've missed out on your opportunity. (Fertile window) I would try and find the positive in this month then and maybe plan a girl's night out have some fun! Drink some more coffee do all the things we won't do when ttc. Make it your month instead of the pressure of ttc xxx

Spottings stopped for me just clear cm. Going to try and forget I even seen it and get back on the relaxed train 🤣🤣 x

Yeah im out over the bank holiday weekend so will reset. Another month doesnt make a huge difference, just feeling like it will never happen today. Hate being a girl sometimes haha

@Ttc2023x Ah I'm sorry to hear that, it's so frustrating when that happens. My partner wasn't up for it too much last cycle (2 day hangover🙄) and I wanted to kill him, not much you can do about work though. Did you manage even one day? I realised yesterday that the 2 times I've had BFPs this year we dtd just one day and it was early in the window so you never know 🤷‍♀️🤞Either way I'm sure the next few weeks will fly in, as @Jadeypie says go out and enjoy yourself.

😂😂 absolutely never happened. I still think it was a good sign though! 🤞

I should have listened to my body and not the predicted date on my app. I got massive peak yesterday so today is O day 3 days earlier than I thought. Kind of raging we didn't dtd one of the earlier days but i do think we covered all the bases so not going to stress. As I said to @Ttc2023x my 2bfps this year we only dtd once so you never know 🤷‍♀️🤞 Hoping the tww doesn't drag. I'll be on holidays again testing too. Gonna try and hold off till AF due 🙈

@Sez281 don't these aps just get on your nerves! They are good in one way but I duno I feel like they just change too much mine this month has gave me a fertile window of two whole weeks. From previous ovulations I could be either 6dpo 7 dpo or just ovulated either way am ten days away from af my cycles range from 33days to 36days. When is AF due for you? Xx

@Jadeypie Jesus 2 whole weeks? You'd be shattered! 😂 AF due in 12 days so quite a short luteal phase. I'll test at 10DPO as I'm due to fly to Spain that day. I'll avoid drinking until AF arrives 2 days later just in case! My ov cramps are really strong today and have been the last few days. I don't know if that's a good sign or just my endo and fibroids playing up 🥴

@Sez281 telling yeh! It's mad isn't it all my other cycles r not like that so don't no why this month is. Oh so your due few days after me mines normally 14 well I think it is tbh I just don't no anymore 🤣🤣 fingers crossed it's your month this month I'm starting to think this is a early period it feels like it! feel crampy more spotting it's not red tho more like peach if that makes sense and cm no clue what's going on starting to piss myself off running the loo to check haha xx

@Jadeypie peach cm sounds really promising! But yeah very annoying not knowing wtf is going on 🥴 Honestly if I didn't know today was O day I'd swear I was about to get AF. Feeling so shit but also want to try get DP to dtd today just to cover all bases so I may ignore the bloat and cramps and get on with it 😂

@Sez281 pounce woman that's all I can advise 🤣🤣🤣 i have been looking on Google at implantation pics 🤢 why do we do it 🙈🙈 but mine doesn't even look as dark as any of the ones google is showing! I might just lock my phone away for a few days hahaha xx

@Jadeypie 😂😂 yeah step away. They should invent some sort of block on google for those of us ttc. I ended up watching YouTube videos on how fertilisation happens yesterday! 🙈 Honestly it makes me wonder how anybody has ever gotten pregnant!

As if I'm only 1dpo according to my app 🤣 this will be a longggg tww, im due on around the 9th. I'm also so over dtd all the time lol I'm hoping to strike it lucky with just once 😫🤣 I'm happy with how I timed it but not quite sure it's enough tbh but I'm a little more chilled this month and as youve said @Sez281 it only takes the one time lol which is how it happened for me in March.

I had pinky cm yesterday @Jadeypie i think mine is definitely around ovulation as it happened last month too although its apparently not that common 😕 The earlier spotting I had threw me a bit tho..however I did start evening primrose to help my hormones so maybe that did something 🙈 I'm honestly addicted to buying vitamins and supplements atm...Maybe its better than buying tests 🤣🤣

Keep us updated how you guys get on 🤞🤞 xx

Morning I think this is AF I've had cramps on and off all night and it seems to be like it's getting heavier so I've marked it as cd1 🙄 never in my life have I had a 27 day cycle! Putting it down to stress for how early it is.

Good luck @Sez281 @Westy22 xxx

Sorry to hear that @Jadeypie, I'd say you're right that it could be due to stress, the build up to it with the spotting during the week was so strange too! At least you know where you're at now. Hope you're doing ok. 🫶 @Westy22 yep it's going to be a loooong tww. I think the vitamins are definitely messing me up too (im on proceive max) I'm 1DPO and really sore boobs and cramps since peak day. I know it's ovulation related, i'm just thrown as it's so strong! There's no point in me symptom spotting over next 2 weeks as my body is out of whack anyway 🥴 And yes it definitely only takes once as we've both proven before 🤞

@Sez281 tell me about it I convinced myself it was implantation haha! Then flapped because of last time. Just glad I know it's AF now tho so I can stop googling 🤣 I've heard vitamins can do that it puts me off them in case I go all out of whack crnt even deal with my usual cycles never mind ones that go up the wall with extra vitamins haha. Xx

Girls please tell me it gets easier in the second trimester? I am quite sick and if I'm not physically sick in anxious about being sick. I find things with OH are tough as I couldn't even think of DTD atm. Do things get better and get back to normal a bit more? I am struggling quite a bit. I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow going by my last scan which is about 5 days ahead in total that what my last period suggests. X

Also should mention my OH has been absolutely amazing.. Nothing but supportive which makes me feel even more guilty 🙈

@Strawb28 awww it's tough pregnancy exspecially in the first trimester. Having my first I did find things get easier after 12 weeks your almost there🥰 as for Dtd my poor partner got nothing at all untill after our son was born. If your sickness carries on you can ask the Dr for something to help if it gets too much xxx
