How are you feeling?

[Emilyx00]

Hi,

How are you all feeling?

This is my first attempt at taking ovulation tests and I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly. Trying to relax and take everyday as it comes but it is so difficult. Can’t speak to DP about how I’m feeling because I don’t want him to feel any pressure.

Weirdest situation happened yesterday. We DTD but nothing came back out. Usually I have to use loads of tissue after but no, this time I didn’t have to use anything. I didn’t want to ask if he faked it and I could feel it as he finished (sorry tmi). He assured me that he did finish. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hey! I'm feeling crappy as always 🤣 I've had a difficult journey so I spend most months feeling a bit rubbish! How long have you been trying, and are you TTC your first?

I've had that happen to me before but with home artificial insemination so I 100% know that the stuff went in haha. Happens rarely but sometimes!

Hey! I’m TTC my 3rd. Been TTC since April last year. Had a miscarriage in December so just trying again. Feeling pretty deflated but I’m trying to keep ‘positive’ and ‘relaxed’ because I know that’s what’s recommended but it’s so difficult.

Are you TTC your first? How long have you been trying? Sorry to hear that you’re feeling crappy too! Do you want to talk about it? Thought a feelings thread might be a good idea to just come and rant and talk about our feelings because TTC and everything that comes with it is so stressful.

I’m glad it’s happened to you too! I was so worried, it’s like my vagina just swallowed it (sorry!! TMI!). Made me even more worried that this month won’t be the one.

Yep it's so hard to stay positive! Scientifically whilst being relaxed is good for you (for your overall health too) being stressed isn't enough to stop you getting pregnant so try not to worry about not worrying if that makes sense 😅

Yeah I'm TTC my first - was trying 2.5 year with my ex and then had an MMC at 11 weeks (we ended up splitting a few months later, triggered but not caused by the loss, it was definitely the right decision). Then 6 months TTC with my current partner ended in MMC at 10 weeks. This is now month 7 of trying again since that loss. So a bit of a rollercoaster!

My main mood is fed up - just feel like life is not moving forward and it's totally out of my control.
