@DuchessofSuffolk Oh that is annoying! I love period pants but I don't have any skin coloured ones πŸ€” maybe something to get for the future!

@Favofit I'm sorry πŸ’” TTC can be all consuming πŸ˜” would stopping BBT and OPKs (if you do them) help relieve any pressure? Xx

Favofit · 29/06/2023 20:45

@LeopardLover we've been TTC for so long but this is only our second month using OPKs and first month tracking BBT. I've had a good cry already and a glass of Baileys, might go for another in a minute. This is so hard 😩

LeopardLover · 29/06/2023 21:17

@Favofit Oh I wish I could give you a little squeeze πŸ˜” you enjoy that Bailey's. It's so unfair you've been waiting for so long. πŸ’” Your future baby will be so very loved. Hopefully next cycle is THE cycle πŸ™πŸ»

Sending lots of love to those with AF symptoms, it's so shit.

I'm so lost with it all, I was so excited to start ttc but it's all consuming! I think about it all the time, every cramp/headache/bout of sleepiness I'm googling it, could it be?

I've started colouring and reading more as a poor attempt to take my mind off it buy my GOD it's hard!!!

I'm considering tracking my temp but I fear I'll drive myself mad.

If it makes anyone feel better, my friend has been ttc for 9 years and finally got accepted for IVF late last year. She is currently expecting and they had a private scan and it's a boy πŸ’™, so it can and will happen girls! I know it. I can't wait to celebrate BFPs with you all. X

Reading is such a good distraction! I'm going all wedding mode keeping my mind off of all the TtcπŸ₯²
Hoping you're all okay x

CAGH03 · 30/06/2023 03:23

@LeopardLover
I'm not usually someone who suffers with headaches so it is a bit strange! And I'm so thirsty! Like I'm drinking so much but still feel so thirstyπŸ₯² meant to have a meal now on my break at work but I feel so nauseous I can't even think of food😩 and I can't test today either as going straight to my MIL after work and won't be home until Saturday afternoon πŸ™ƒ so will have to wait until Sunday morning to test which is when af is due 🀞🏼x

Favofit · 30/06/2023 05:24

@LeopardLover thank you so much ❀️

CAGH03 · 30/06/2023 06:02

Gone to have a coffee a min ago at the end of my shift and almost threw upπŸ₯² I love coffee but the thought of it at the moment 🀒

LeopardLover · 30/06/2023 07:25

@CAGH03 Oh wow!! So not testing until Sunday is probably a good thing because that way you'll know for sure. Is nausea in your TWW unusual? Because I always get it! I don't normally pay it attention but obviously have been since TTC. Are there twins in your family? Just asking as my friend who had twins felt sick early on!

LeopardLover · 30/06/2023 07:26

@CAGH03 I meant to say very sick, not just a bit of luteal phase nausea like me πŸ˜…

Huge congratulations to your friend! She must be over the moon ❀️

I remember getting obsessed with BBT but it is a sure way to track ovulation. In a few months I'll probably buy a watch that does it for me.

Sorry you're feeling it's all consuming! I think I go through phases. I'm not too bad this cycle, but that's because I don't feel like there's much chance. πŸ˜… Next cycle I'll be back to obsessing over symptoms I think.

I like the thought of colouring as a distraction!x

I'm actually a twin myself πŸ₯² I usually feel a little nauseous so my doctors have given me anti sickness meds but I haven't taken them for about four months as haven't really felt nauseous but coffee making me feel sick is definitely a new thing. Knowing my body, it's probably just a new period symptom 🀣 wishing I bought my thermometer with me tho! Just used a regular one to see if my temp is still high, which I know isn't how you do bbt but I've been laid in bed since 6:15 and it's the best I can do while I'm at my MILπŸ₯² still 36.5 which is 0.4 above cover. Definitely feel like I'm getting my hopes up tho! Due period tomorrow so will have to see if it arrives, if not I'll test Sunday x

LeopardLover · 30/06/2023 07:37

@CAGH03 Oh no way! That's cool. It definitely doesn't always skip a generation πŸ‘€ ahhhh okay, so maybe that's it with the nausea although seems a little extreme re coffee πŸ€” I went off tea completely during my pregnancy with my son!

Not long to wait now 😊

I've never gone off of coffee, always loved it, but even the smell is like 🀒 there's other twins on my dads side of the family. Will just have to see if my period shows up tomorrow or not. Usually my temp would have dropped by now but no point being too hopefulπŸ₯²x

Sealover123 · 30/06/2023 12:22

@LeopardLover I don't use OPKs we just tend to do it frequently when I'm in my fertile window. When we got pregnant before (ectopic) we only did it once that month and I got a bfp. So I can usually tell the good times to try lol

Sorry for those who have started. We really need someone to get a positive up in here!

LeopardLover · 30/06/2023 12:25

@Sealover123 oh well that's good! I know what you mean though, my libido definitely increases 🀣

I agree! We need a BFP this month! Who else is on their TWW?

Favofit · 30/06/2023 12:27

Fingers crossed for BFPs here ladies ❀️

That's why I'm not too hopeful for this month, we only did it once which was the morning I found my peak. But it was the first time we had done it first thing in the morning for a while and apparently that's the best time to🀣x

@LeopardLover right at the beginning of it here - currently 2dpo... Will do my best πŸ˜†

DuchessofSuffolk · 01/07/2023 07:28

I’m out. Booo. Looking on the upside first 2 days are usually tougher on AF so at least I can chill this weekend.

HoneyBlossoms112 · 01/07/2023 07:38

Hi all,
some of you may remember me hijacking your old thread with a BFP a few weeks ago. (I was away with work and had no one to talk to. You guys were lovely.)

Well, looks like I’ll be migrating back to the TTC boards. I had my first scan at 7 weeks yesterday and found out that the pregnancy isn’t developing. Absolutely gutted. I thought after I got a BFP that was it, but turns out it is just the beginning of more uncertainty, and for me, heartbreak. So yea, now just waiting for it to pass naturally so I can start all over again. πŸ’”

LeopardLover · 01/07/2023 08:00

@DuchessofSuffolk Oh boooo! Sorry to hear this but hopefully you can have a nice relaxing weekend. ❀️

@HoneyBlossoms112 Oh I'm so sorry, this must be a really stressful time. πŸ’” What are your next steps, do you need to wait to be rescanned or has baby definitely stopped developing? πŸ˜” Sending you virtual hugs!

HoneyBlossoms112 · 01/07/2023 08:11

@LeopardLover Yea, it’s very crappy. I feel a bit in limbo at the moment, unable to try move on quickly like I usually try to do.
I’ve got to go in for a rescan next Friday to confirm, as they need two scans for comparison, but I’m supposed to be almost 8 weeks and it was measuring more like 5 on the scan. They couldn’t see any fetal structures, so even if I ovulated/implanted a bit later it wouldn’t account for how small it was. Also, I’ve had a tiny bit of bleeding and all my symptoms have faded save for feeling annoyingly bloated all the time. Nature can be a bitch! :(

Glad I went for an early scan though, as otherwise I might have gotten to 12 weeks without knowing! Unless I started bleeding of course.

LeopardLover · 01/07/2023 08:30

@HoneyBlossoms112 I'm sorry, it definitely sounds like you're stuck waiting for that next scan πŸ˜” Unless things start before Friday, naturally? I really hope that's the case for you so you can move forward sooner.

I think early scans are such a good idea, sadly someone on another thread had a similar experience recently πŸ’” I did that last time and will do so again (hopefully). Hope you're taking it easy this weekend xxx
