I laughed out loud then ( If one more person tells you to chill ) 😂😂😂 xx

Haha honestly I'm not sure who they think will benefit from that as I can guarantee that no one has ever turned round and said 'oh gee thanks I totally hadn't even thought about that! Thanks for your advice, after all this time, the only thing that I needed was to relax! Who knew''. Wow i'm ranty today! @😂

I was like that yesterday, I was not a happy bunny 😂 one of the boys in work asked me is it my time of the month 😂😂 ranting is good , it's really hard to relax when your ttc so many people have so many opinions it annoys me so much xx

If someone said that to me, I'd instantly be pissed off🤣 my partner said it to me about 2 years ago when we first got together, hasn't said it since 🤣 my boyfriend thinks it's weird that I have this app because he's like you don't need to talk to anyone about it, it's weird. But sometimes it's just nice to talk to people that are in the same boat x

That's an interesting thought, maybe!? Although we were doing crazy house renovations the month I fell pregnant! So I wasn't really chilling but was probably distracted 😅

I thought I was due 3rd June but after logging my positive OPK it has moved to 4th! I'm only going to start being really disappointed from end of August I think as I'd really love a Spring / Summer baby. I also need to sort my diet out 👀

Omgosh the relax thing makes me MAD! The opposite of relaxed. Some people talk without thinking.

This is our first month trying properly but we've been keeping it a secret. My friend has also just started TTC #2 so I know I'll probably be disappointed if she falls pregnant first 🤣 she's younger than me!

Haha perhaps more 'distracted' than relaxed then! I'm hoping that theory works for us this month as our TWW is so busy with weddings and friends visiting, so hopefully we'll ''Relax'' 😉How old were you when you had your first?

Try not to be disappointed, although I know that is so easy to say, but not so easy to do! That's something I have had to come to terms with having to have fertility treatment, that you have to have hope, as that is what keeps us going and keeps us positive and going again the next month. Every single month is a chance to change everything, just take each one month by month - you got this! 💜

Oh gosh can you imagine? my best mate is the same so I feel you! Should have odd on it happening - could make some money in the process haha xx

Defo!! I've not told my partner I'm on it as he'd have something to say about it am sure! he shouted at me the other day for consulting Dr Google on what every symptom meant, and then got mad when I said that apparently I had a brain tumor that's why I was having headaches! 😂I love that you just told him straight that no one relaxes, especially when someone tells you to relax! It's usually women who say it though to other women trying to conceive (i'm generalising here at my MIL!!) But I get you - it is nice to talk. If it makes him feel better, start a private group chat with us and then it's not for everyone to see :-) xx

Where do you work and what do you do? I lost my shit at 2 lads in the gym the other day when I went to use something and they said 'we're using that' (they were sat on a bench on Insta) and I said 'are you tho? I mean you're not are you, you're on insta. How about you come to the gym and actually work out?? Novel I know!'' I told my husband when I got back and he was was like wow what a bitch! haha

I'm gonna tell you to relax on day 12 now you wait!! x

chlx3 · 25/05/2023 16:13

He just thinks it's weird and I said well Google tells me I'm basically dying whenever I search my symptoms so it's nice to ask other girls if they have the same! He said there's no point getting worried about it because it will happen soon but that's so much easier said than done!
If my MIL told me to chill I'd be fuming 🤣 she stresses me out more than anyone! I talk to a girl on Snapchat about Ttc and he always asks who it is, so I say and he says it's weird. I feel like men don't understand what we go through every month, especially the tww! It's so stressful. And the testing and planning and taking vitamins ect whereas they just chill and don't really think about it😅 if I didn't mention it to him or anyone, I think I'd drive myself insane! xx

That's good tho that you have something reliable and not too stressful so you can focus on home life - works for paying bills after all, not life xx

Haha yeah tell him would you rather me panic over everything and ask you all the time, or tell some random people I Don't know every detail about my CM and period pains 😂That's such a bloke response. My husband said that too, I was like it's alright for you, your bits all work properly 😂And they totally don't! how old are you if you don't mind me asking, and are you married? All they have to do is rock up, have some sex, then bugger off again! bxx

chlx3 · 25/05/2023 17:15

@GeoSmed
I'm 19 and he's 22, not married yet but hoping he'll pop the question soon! Told me he's planned a surprise for me within the next couple months 🤞🏼 been together 2 years. And yes exactly! Literally all he does is has sex and then that's it! He doesn't have to worry about whether or not ovulation is happening, or if something isn't right! Been told I don't have pcos but would need to see a specialist to rule out endo (my mum has it) so I always worry that I can't actually have children! And I'm sure he doesn't want to know about my cm! I said last night that I had cramps and it could be a good thing and he said you always say you have cramps.. I only get them when I'm on my period so he doesn't understand why I'm excited to test on Saturday/Sunday! I'm probably just getting my hopes up just to be let down again :( but it will happen eventually xx

Oh brilliant distractions planned 🤣👏 I was 34, had him at 35! 😊

Yes, you're right. I felt gutted when my sister in law fell pregnant even though I wasn't ready for #2, because her first is the same age as mine! But now baby is here I'm not so jealous haha. We're dealing with the terrible twos so I need time for that to settle 😅 are you mentally prepared for your bestie to fall pregnant? You are happy for them but it's still hard!

P.S my husband knows I have mumsnet friends 🤣❤️ the support required never stops! It's invaluable in those first 12 weeks too. I told most friends when I was 4 months pregnant last time (covid/wanting to do it in person) 😅 I needed my online pals! X

Hi ladies, I'm also having lower back pain too but I've been working at my desk a lot so might just be stiff. And I'm in my late 30s so maybe just getting old. 😂

I patted a dog today and the dog smell is still in my nose. Pregnancy superpower or smelly pup? 🤔

Has anyone been dizzy or headachy or other potential signs? xxx

i wouldn’t have in a normal world but I think AF showing up, hormones and just one of those days I turned into a cow! 😂
I know what you mean about happy but deep down it hurts and you feel so guilty for feeling that way, but you can’t help it. What’s your little boy called? Don’t worry if you don’t want to say on here as I know that children are private.

she already has one and her daughters a darling. I love her so much and she is really close with me so I am really happy that she’ll have a brother or sister but I don’t know I’d feel about her being pregnant if I’m not. Hopefully all the stars align and we’re pregnant together … ha. Fat luck of that ay! How about you and your sister?

spooky - I too work in marketing. Digital marketing manager for a cyber security company. Niche! i used to be a graphic designer but I f op out of love with it and find I ended up working more in digital anyway with campaigns. How about you? What do you do in marketing? X

where in the uk are you? Any more cramps / sign? Xx

LeopardLover · 25/05/2023 20:31

@Amy95 I guess it's like that in a lot of places! I real mixed bag of people. It's good if you enjoy it enough to just crack on 😊 Most of my friends have left now, so it's not bad but potentially time to move on. Just tricky with trying to conceive. Not sure if I should just wait and switch afterwards! Marketing (for agencies at least) is pretty fun. I'm not sure how I'd cope in a serious job 😅

@GeoSmed Oh no way! Also in digital marketing but I work in Comms. I do get involved in internal marketing but mostly client side (I work for an agency). So copy and creative ideas etc - mostly for social media. So cool you have design skills too! I bet that comes in handy. X

Eeek! How many DPO are you? These are REALLY common pregnancy symptoms. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure I had a bad headache for a few days when I conceived my son. I actually forgot about that!!

Yes it is a big mix of people but most of the team I work with are really nice plus most.of them started the same day as me so we're basically like a big family, I get good and bad days ,it's hard deciding if you want to move jobs and plus your ttc aswell so that's hard would without the job 😂 basically like a second job I think, your job sounds so interesting xx

@LeopardLover I'm not 100 percent sure but I'm guessing around 6 or 7 DPO? We DTD a few times last week when I felt like I was near ovulation.

When I got pregnant before I remember I got really early symptoms. Was your headache sort of sudden and out of the blue when you conceived before? How soon is your AF and how many DPO are you? When will you test first? x
