Twenties TTC - Join Me Pleeeease!

[Etcha]

I'm 23 and hoping to try for a baby from next month.

Anyone else?

Hey ladies,

Been busy researching Dp's Mums Family tree - she has the attention span of a goldfish - its been exhausting, but luckily it has taken my mind off the dreaded AF that outstayed her welcome - I think she has finally left which means its time for a BD marathon!!! )sorry tmi )

Joy - I am amazed at your strength!! It will be all the more sweet, knowing you've held out for what you want. Good Luck to you.

How is everyone else??

Hi ladies,

Ray- eek! That all sounds really positive, and I'm so glad that you are getting some answers after all you have been through. Hurrah! Keep us posted...

I have surprised myself with being able to hold out. The truth is, I don't know when I ovulated, as I don't temp. I had EWCM on CD11 and CD21 (and some since then), so that doesn't help at all. I'm now on CD39 (ridic) and a BFN would be all the more crushing now- but would still be a possibility if I ov'd after CD21.

BUT

Tonight is the night! I probably won't be able to post until tomorrow morning due to internet access issues. But post I shall!

Oh god. Am dying, DYING with the nerves.

Bubble i cant believe that nasty piece of work!! How dare she say something so hurtful!!

OHHHHH joy good luck tonite!!!

Have decided i am going to start a BFP chant in my head (works pretty quiet this morning so iv nothing else to do lol)

Are you still testing on sunday, seany?
Fingers crossed!

Hi joy, ive decided im going to wait until af is late b4 i test again, so hopefully ill be testing on monday.
Let us know how tonite goes!!!

hey I just thought id let you know, have been to the drs this morning and found out that i am indeed pregnant. somewhere between five and three weeks so early days. Thanks to you all for your support. x

Thats brilliant news Trikken!! Congrats and good luck! Hope you have a lovely pregnancy!

Hopefully all of us arn't far behind you!!!

congrats Trikken......... hope you are well

Excellent news, Trikken! So pleased
Can I just urge all you preggos not to disappear from the thread? It would be great to know how you're getting on.

Thanks, I do hope all ttc the best of luck. I wont leave the thread, probably because im too nosey for my own good. lol.

Congrats Trikken thats great news.

Goodness me the amount of BFPS coming up are great.

Joy lots and lots and lots of luck for tonite CD39 is a long cycle and i think you must be Pg please please let us know as soon as you can im on the edge of my seat here.

Took temp again this morn and was still high after Ovulation was 98.1 -9.4 yesterday it was 98.8 and today 98.9 so quite a hike realy. Do i dear to hope ? have got alot of aches and pains down there but not AF just a general aching. Just have to think only 6 days til i can test. I could probably test now but it is to early isnt it?

Trikken thats brilliant. congratulations

joy good luck, im thinking of you. i am dying to know u have just got to be pg.

Ray i hope that you have struck it lucky this month. im keeping everything crossed that you get your bfp next wk too.

Bubble,

I am realy hoping that i have too although with my track record it could be anything. I have actually got my hopes up over smaller things then this and when i was talking to BF she said its all falling together to much not to be good news.

I am dying to test but also dont want to test. Actually feel very calm about it all and keep looking at my chart and thinking 'that is a second set of high temps 7dpo surely it wouldnt just happen for no reason, there has to be a reason' but there is also apart of me that doesnt believe it at all and am expecting AF to arrive as per usual. Am i making sense ? i feel very chilled whilst being hopeful at the same time.

OMG joy i am dying to know please say it is BFP.

Hi Ladies don't know if you'll remember me-I was with you near the start of the tread!
I had my 12wk scan on tuesday-I was terrified before as I was convinced there would be nothing there-but everything is ok at the moment I'm suffering VERY badly from morning sickness and have had to been medicated to avoid me spending weeks in hospital on a drip.

Just wanted to give you a quick update and to give you guys a bit of hope-we were trying for almost a year. Also to say that I got my BFP 5 days before AF was due and I really regretted that as it has just made the wait to the 12wk scan last forever, I would say if you can wait as long as you can-if you are pg you still will be. I suppose the problem is when you are very actively TTC it is all you are thinking about......I suppose you need to weigh up the pros and cons of either worrying if you are pg or not and worrying about mc if you do get a BFP-I hope this makes a bit of sense?!!!

I just want to wish all you lovely ladies all the best of luck and I see there are lots of you about to test-i'm keeping my fingers crossed

Congratulations on the BFPs as well!

Morning girls!

Joy im up early waiting for your news so excited for you

Ray im hoping that it is a bfp. you get that second rise when ur up the duff. is it a tri something pattern?? (saw it on fertility friend)

Hi Sammy its nice to hear from you. im so glad all is well and youve got to that 12 week mark. when are you due?

well ive not bothered to temp this cycle. i wake every 30 mins from about 5 onwards so there is no point. im so sleepy at 5 i wouldnt remember to take my temp or be able to read it. So im hoping that just using opks and watching cm will suffice.

Bubble i am waiting for Joys news too i have to go out at 9 and want to know before then.
I also have a book that shows the tri pattern and says it does it because at 7dpo the egg will implant causing a rise in progesterone and therefore rise in temp. I am trying very hard not to get hopes up too much and to not to test. FF says 10DPO at the moment so according to that can test tues at 14DPO. I know i could test earlier but in 2 minds as to wanting to know and actually not wanting to know if you get my meaning.

Where are you in your cycle now ? are you going to do OPKS this month ?

Ray its so difficult when you want something that much not to get your hopes up. i think its best to wait til you are late to test but i wouldnt be able to wait that long Im getting excited for you. if you have had the second temp rise then u must be

Im on cd5. AF left the building yesterday but im still getting cramps. it was a wierd 1. 4 days early and so heavy. im gonna start using opks on day 8 and prob follow the deanna plan. i hope it works this month. im feeling pretty desperate

Bubble thanks for getting excited for me at least if other people do then perhaps i can contain myself.
I am trying to think of other explanations as to why i would have the second temp rise just to try and explain it away but finding it very difficult my brain keeps doing a 'you're UTD your UTD' its all very surreal and keep thinking of things i can do for the next week to keep me occupied so i dont test.

I followed the deanna plan and did the OPKS to as well as the temping and it worked the last time i did in Nov so i hope it has worked this time for me and hope it works for you to.
God better get ready have to leave at 9 and not even dressed yet. Doh.

I'm not pregnant

And now really worried...

Oh bloddy hell joy im so so sorry this TTc lark is a bitch. Realy gutted for you.

The only explanation is that you Ovulated later or you didnt ovulate at all.

Thanks Ray
I did a test last night and one this morning to be sure.

You know, I was totally OK with not being pregnant this month. If I'd just got my period when it was due I would have been fine.

Two friends have just started trying for babies and I feel I'll be left behind. We've been trying for 10 months with one mc, and I feel the one-year mark looming.

I don't want to be the woman who has miscarriages, who can't concieve, who has mad cycles and has to fret and worry about her fertility and go to the doctor for tests. I'm 28 ffs!

I just feel so sad, and I know 10 months isn't that long, and I know I'm being dramatic and wallowing in self-pity, and it's not a big deal.

But it is a big deal. And I could do without this further madness from my body.

Awww Joy im so sorry. You're not being dramatic, I understand exactly how u must be feeling. We have been trying for 10 months as well, and it does get so frustrating, esp when ur body keeps playing such cruel tricks on you.

And your right it IS a big deal.

Thanks for the support guys.

Feeling a tad better now but still very grumpy and sad.

My partner doesn't seem to understand at all and couldn't appreciate why I was crying. He just thinks it'll happen when it happens, and when we get a BFP we'll be really happy but there's no reason to feel sad in the mean time. If only I could think the same way. He also seems to think I could still be pg despite what the test said (don't worry, am not kidding myself that I could be). We had a bit of a bicker about it all. Soooo not how I envisioned last night was going to be .

Sick of it all. Almost wish we'd never started trying.

How's everyone else? Any good news?

ps I'm really sorry if I'm being insensitive towards lovely ladies who have had things much harder than me and been trying longer. I appreciate that things could be a lot worse, and will be smiling again soon.

I'm just on a whinge binge and can't seem to snap out of it!
