TTC & Pregnancy

[CatiaR]

Hi ladies,

the other thread is full now!

I will try and add everyone back in but please check if I’ve missed anyone.

@Ncl31 really hope that this is a sticky bean 🥰

@Huriya hiya lovely! 20 weeks already! Time goes fast and a baby boy how exciting. Thank you only 5 and half weeks now so still feels unreal!

@Hotmalibu94 , @Hollie1802 , @etaketak1991 , @ginny93 hopefully you ladies are all doing well?

@Roseberry22, @EK37 , @Myna13 , @NLmum4 @thejollytrolleydolly good luck for this cycle!

@EK37 try not to feel deflated.
im not massively hopeful myself this cycle to be honest. We DTD on Saturday(late evening) and Sunday(morning) - I got my peak on Saturday.
i didn’t want to put too much pressure onto DH last week as he was super stressed with work.
but now my OvuSense predicts I ovulated on Saturday from my temps whereas Premom predicts Sunday form my OPKs so who knows. If it was Saturday I know we may have missed the little egg but only time will tell.
Now the pressure of ovulation is gone DH seems up for BDing morning noon and night 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t win!

@Ncl31 i think those timings sound good as I know the egg can last up to 24 hours! Fingers crossed this is our month! I said to my partner if we’re not successful come March I’m going to book a private female fertility MOT just to make sure everything is ok and there’s nothing underlying I don’t know about! I know they say wait until at least a year but I might just fork out the money for my own peace of mind!

@EK37 just be aware that sometimes has the opposite effect, when I had all of my tests done and they all came back normal I felt even worse that my body wasn’t working. DH kept run by to tell me it wasn’t but he ahead has a son (who we unfortunately have no contact with) so I felt like he is able to do it but I can’t

@Ncl31 yeah I know what you mean! It’s so hard to think what is the best thing to do!! I know that these things take some time and I need to be a bit more patient 😂 I had a few blood tests done a couple of years ago just after I had come off the pill as my skin had got awful and I was worried the pill had caused some issues as I had been on it for about 10 years and they all came back normal but I think maybe if I got an ultrasound done to check the other bits that can’t be tested on bloods it might make me feel a bit more relaxed!!

we can do this 💪🏻

@EK37 we can do this, we will do this.
It took us 24 months to get our very first BFP, but I now know my body can get pregnant, I’ve just got to hope that next time it’s about to cling onto that little bean

@Ncl31 @EK37 You both can and will do this!! Keep positive, we are all here whenever you need a chat or a moan!! 🩷

@Hollie18 thank you so much!!

it’s so hard not to symtom spot in the TWW 😂 this time I seem to be bone dry (TMI) when usually I would have some creamy CM. Not sure if anyone else has had this or am I clutching AGAIN! 😂

@EK37 i can’t decide if I’m bone dry or have creamy haha!
last month in the second half of TWW I definitely had a fair bit of cm I remember that.today I’ve come down with a cold, probably means nothing at 4DPO though. But again, last month I was poorly during the TWW.

any symptoms other than your bone dry cm?

@Hollie18 thank you :)

@EK37 I was definitely bone dry during the TWW when I got pregnant. Creamy cm ramped up after my BFP for sure. Otherwise I had really not much else to report, except absolute lack of sex drive - sorry DH 😂

@Ncl31 oh bless you, hate feeling poorly. Hopefully you feel better soon!

Fingers and toes crossed for you both!

@Ncl31 no other symptoms at all! But I am only 8dpo so I guess it’s still too early anyway!

@Hotmalibu94 ooo okay this is exciting! Normally I have creamy CM until about 1-2 days before period is due but this time I have had barely any! And I’m not dehydrated I drink so much water and green tea throughout the day! This time next week hopefully I will know 🤞

@Hotmalibu94 im feeling slightly better today. Maybe it was a 24 hour thing…
@EK37 fingers crossed you will know by next weekend and you will have positive news.

@EK37 when are you going to test? Fingers crossed for you!!

@Ncl31 glad you're feeling better!

I think I am going to do my usual and wait to see is AF arrives!!

Hi all! Happy Saturday 💃🏼 has anyone had any experience with implantation bleeding? When I went to the toilet last night after I had wiped there was the tiniest spec of bright red blood, not like a period was literally about the size of a pea if not smaller! Went to the toilet again this morning and nothing! Bit worried as I have heard implantation bleeding is pink/brown but this was red?? Google doesn’t seem to help me 😂

@EK37 nothing I've experienced personally but a lot of people say they've had it so fingers crossed for you! When is AF due? X

@EK37 yeah I’ve not had implantation bleeding either so can’t be of much help either.

fingers crossed for you tho 🤞

Went pram shopping today 😍 ordered a travel system and I'm so excited 😂 also brought the nursery wallpaper and started looking at carpets! Lovely little baby centred day 😍

Period is due Wednesday/Thursday, I am 10dpo today! It’s probably nothing for me to get excited over 😂

@Hotmalibu94 ahh that’s so exciting!!!!

@EK37 are you tracking your BBT? Is that stop over the cover line?

@EK37 On the home stretch! 🤞🤞
@Ncl31 Hope you're feeling better ❤️ How are you getting on?
@Hotmalibu94 How exciting and what a lovely day 🥰

@etaketak1991 I’m still full of cold. But trying to cling onto some hope from it. In December when I conceived I was full of cold in what was the TWW but I just hadn’t realised it was because didn’t realise I’d ovulated. Hoping that this is a positive sign again but trying not to get my hopes built up. If anything it’s making this cold tolerable!
7DPO today, last cycle I think I got my positive around 12DPO by the time I worked backwards and looked at all my symptoms

@etaketak1991 yeah nearly there!!

@Ncl31 yes still above cover line, infact I have had the highest temp I’ve ever had at 36.98!!! Never got into the 90’s before let alone high 90’s!!!

@EK37 ooooo that looks good. Fingers crossed for you.

@Ncl31 ok I jumped the gun there a bit 😂 just checked through my whole two years of temping and my highest was 36.93 way back a year ago so this is still the highest 🤞🤞🤞

@EK37 oooh fingers crossed! The fact your BBT is still increasing is a good sign 🤞

@Ncl31 sorry to hear you're still poorly but hopefully it's a good sign after last time!

@etaketak1991 oh it was such a lovely day, topped off by baby girl kicking DH for the first time 😭❤️
