Anyone TTC Dec 2023

[Cantcareless]

Just looking for some company with ladies planning TTC 2023. There's already a thread for Jan 2024 but would be nice to keep company for Dec :)
Initially planned to start TTC 2024 Jan but it's feels time is going too slow and too broody now.
Also, worried about age turned 34 few months ago and feel clock is ticking(just my opinion).

Hi all :) am trying for my second - first baby took us two years to fall, this is our third month trying and I'm due for AF on 27th, I got a really strange pain to the left very low down 3 days ago that lasted a few days kind of like a stabbing pain, have been reading about implantation pain, and now I feel like I'm
Getting my hopes up Don't know wether to test early to get it over with just, keep thinking it will be like last time

@3ornotto3 i really don’t know what to say, I don’t know you but I want you to know that im here for you!! And if you ever need a chat im always here to listen. Sending you all the positive vibes possible xxx

Thank you guys, my other half is very excited for sure, he does suffer from anxiety normally, so he thinks his body is confused. Which I guess the body produces the same hormones for both so 🤷

As for me, I'm a little overwhelmed. I thought it would take me so long like it did the first time.

I wish everyone luck and baby dust 💕

Thanks so much everyone, this group is lovely for support and congrats on all the positive tests 🥰
@3ornotto3 im so sorry to hear this is happening to you 😔 fingers crossed it’s just a precaution and that everything comes back clear. 💗 sending big hugs xxx

@Fawklight I’m sure once the initial shock has gone it will be excitement (and nerves 🤣) only!! Xx

Just an update ❤️

I’m 12DPO and I’m pretty sure that’s a lineeeeee! 🥹

It’s mad because I told you lot even before my husband! I love this group… and now I’m going to tell my parents and siblings on Christmas Day.. because they will know as soon as I don’t drink any alcohol 🫣

I really didn’t expect this to happen so soon.. I’m also overwhelmed but absolutely over the moon of course. I just want to send loads of baby dust and positive vibes to those who are still trying, waiting, good things come to those who wait as they say ❤️

I’m going to do the digital on Christmas Eve as that’s the predicted day for AF.. will be lovely to see the words ya know 🥹

loads of love to you all girls. So glad I jumped onto this thread xx

Congratulations @LottieW93 that's a lovely line ☺️
I am hoping everything is ok @3ornotto3

@LottieW93 congratulations, beautiful line 🥰♥️

Oh @LottieW93 that's amazing! What fab news. So happy for you!

I know, I find myself less obsessive googling about stuff now I can come in here and have a chat about it with a lovely group of women who understand!

I dream about the day I get to tell my family that I'm pregnant, it's one of the things I look forward to the most, and what a lovely time to do it! <3 love to you xx

@3ornotto3 am so sorry to hear what you are going through, I have everything crossed for you ❤️

@LottieW93 massive congratulations 😃✨

I don't have sore boobs at all and I'm sure I did the last time I was pregnant, I'm sure that's one of the obvious symptoms but mine are not in the slightest (maybe a time bit bigger I notice easily because they are so small anyway haha)

So tempted with testing early!

Just caught up on everyone’s posts 😊 love this little thread of ladies 💓

@LottieW93 amazing!!! So happy for you hunny! Sending you all the wishes for a lovely pregnancy 💕

@Fawklight so happy for you hun, congrats!! Also with friends like that who needs enemies!!? I think that was a good decision to no longer associate yourself with them…you don’t need that negativity in your life 💕

@@hol92 I personally would wait for AF…I think it is less disappointing to see AF come instead of a negative test 💕

@3ornotto3 I'm so sorry you are going through a shitty time. Sending you luck & love 💕 🍀

@jossiwood 8DPO today aren’t we!! I’m trying my hardest not to symptom spot but obvs that is impossible! 🤣🙈 I’ve had a crappy taste in my mouth for the last few days & been trying to work out if it would be classed as metallic..god knows. Also my lower tummy has felt like it does the day before AF yesterday & today…so that’s weird. Also I’ve seen so many ladies on her with implantation bleeds that I’ve convinced myself now that unless I get that I’m not pregnant with I know is stupid as not everyone gets it! I’m a mess 🤣😂🤣😂🙈 How are you getting on? x

so feeling a bit low lately and not in much of a xmassy mood, CD 38 and no AF, negative test today, having some serious family issues, my dad has terminal cancer, my sister has medical problems (has pain and cysts on her ovaries) and a newborn baby to look after and my brothers partner has just left him and my 2 nephews! 😔(sorry for tmi!) so AF must be late due to possible stress or late ovulation, just needed to rant sorry ladies!

but huge congrats to all ladies with BFP ❤💝

@Cazzy87 oh hunny, you are really going through it aren’t you 😔 I’m so sorry you have so much going on at once. As difficult as it is please remember this too shall pass. My mantra but not always easy to take I know. Stay strong lady & hoping AF comes soon for you so you can start a fresh cycle 🍀💕x

@4LeafCloverBaby thank you hun! really sort of struggling but we break up from work tomorrow and going to a xmas market sat, with a wheel and ice skating on sat with my daughter and partner so will try to enjoy that! im the eldest child so trying to support my baby sis and bro and mum as well so there feels like a lot on my shoulders atm... but as you say hopefully it will pass and 2024 be much more promising!

@4LeafCloverBaby I could have written your post 🤣 weird taste in my mouth but not really metallic 🤷‍♀️ low abdomen pain and as of today, sore boots. And cos I've had no bleeding I've convinced myself I'm out so you're right we need to remember that we might not have an implantation bleed ! Cos I'm mad I've been testing since 6dpo and clearly a bfn.... keep us updated!

@jossiwood 😂 my ttc twin! Lol. I don’t really have sore boobs though…I keep pressing them thinking “do they hurt” 🤔😂
wow testing from 6DPO!! That’s a lot isn’t it. Must be so deflating every day seeing the white space 😔
Everything crossed for us!! 🍀🤞🏼

@4LeafCloverBaby I'm an idiot with no self control ,I think is the main problem 🤣 even when I know its gonna be negative my brains like 'nope that's it I'm out ' 🙄 when are you gonna test ?

@jossiwood you are not an idiot lol, just desperate as are the rest of us!! 🙈
well I don’t have any tests in the house purposely for this reason as I think k would be a nightmare! I’m due on 27th/28th so if AF hasn’t shown them I will test on the 28th 🍀🤞🏼

@4LeafCloverBaby wow you're amazing 👏 really need some of your self control. I think it's cos last month I found out on the 21st so I kind of assumed it would be a bfp already - but when I tested on the 21st it came up with 2-3 weeks on digital so I was obviously more than 8dpo ! I've gone from so chilled I didn't even notice I was pregnant to this mad person . What are your cramps like , as mine aren't like typical period cramps, more like tightening 🤷‍♀️

@Cazzy87 oh that sounds tough. I am happy for you to rant away as it good to just get things off your chest.
I think I might be ovulating tomorrow which is earlier then expected. I thought it was going to be on Monday as it has been around day 17 the last few months but I have just had thick mucus. I will check my lh when I get home to see if it is on the up. I thought my fertility window started today but may have started a few days ago. Luckily we BD 2 nights ago.

@jossiwood ahh I see, well that completely justifies your craziness! 😉🤣
mine is hard to describe but not so much cramps as like an annoying achey feeling & feeling like I just want to lay out on the floor. It’s probably not pregnancy symptoms at all…just the placebo of it all! Lol

@4LeafCloverBaby @jossiwood just for you to know I didn’t have implantation bleeding this time! I have no other symptoms… apart from sore boobs. And on like maybe 9DPO I had a sharp shooting pain going through my stomach and down below.. it was like a really painful intense period pain but it nearly brought me to my knees!!

@Fawklight hows things with you since BFP? ❤️

@LottieW93 what a great line! Congratulations to you ❤️

@4LeafCloverBaby @jossiwood I’m just in front of you guys - 9dpo. Just noticed some spotting so think I could be out again. Normally Jane spotting 4 days before af but this is 6 days before. Must be coming early 🙄
