Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

So i think 10/11 dpo now but not entirely sure. CM generally seemed to match the pattern though so fingers crossed we managed to BD at the right time. I was an absolute idiot and tested last night though, which of course was negative BECAUSE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE YET.

The TWW is clearly sending me insane

Oh cats I was exactly the same last month... even as I was POAS I knew it was a giant waste of money! I just can't bear not knowing... 2ww starts tomorrow... good luck!

CD 2 for me today and feeling really crampy and fed up. I was at work yesterday morning with a small group of kids and I suddenly wanted to burst into tears I just felt such a rush of disappointment and emptiness.

Cycle 6 for us now and I just want to fast forward to getting some help from the Dr. I'm also sending my CB study materials back. I just can't be bothered with all the faff and added stress.

This month I'm thinking about stopping all caffeine and wine. I find it really hard to stick to 2 cups of tea per day so have bought some decaf tea bags. Also considering buying myself a CB monitor thingy and giving SMEP a try next month.

On the subject of weight, I am lucky to generally stay within a healthy weight range fairly easily. However, at the moment, if I don't lose half a stone or more asap I'm going to have to buy some new clothes because I'm so flipping uncomfortable! Everything is so tight and I also keep thinking I'm pregnant because my bra is too small...but no, I'm just fatter than usual :mad: :rotfl: (I'd happily keep the boobs if I could just shrink my backside )

Keep on going ladies, it's all we can do after all

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this group but I was in the 'less than 12 weeks' thread. Our baby had anencephaly, found out at our twelve week scan. OH has had to have a surgical termination which went as well as it could have. On the mend emotionally.

Both wanting to try again. We've started a healthy weekly meal plan (it helped her making it as it felt like something positive to focus on, making sure we've done everything we can to give us best chance), she's started on pregnancies again. Yesterday we went to GP to get 5mg folic acid prescription which should reduce the chance of recurrence.

Will hopefully be trying again in the next month, as soon as she's had a normal AF.

Feels good to be looking forward again after the horrible feelings of the last few weeks.

Welcome along ianri, so sorry to hear of your loss and hoping your stay back in TTC is short

Oh chickp bless you, have you tried the cb dual hormone opks? I've found them really useful as we started bding on the first flashing smiley rather than waiting purely for a positive ic opk. Keep your chin up x

Fx for next few days cats, its still early!

:j for ovulation mancs! Let the 2ww commerce

Not much going on here, definitely feels different this cycle, a lot more post o symptoms which I'm Hoping is a good thing and will mean a longer luteal phase. Not sure if/when I'll test, I said next Friday at 12dpo but I have a poas addiction....

Hubby has decided I'm already pregnant, he doesn't know why, he just has :rotfl:

Men!

Hi IanRi, so sorry to hear you've had a difficult few weeks. Here's hoping you and OH get some good news soon and aren't here long.

Afm, it's 10dpo and I'm fairly sure I'm out - temps haven't yet dropped, but are at the lowest point of Lp average, and my cervix came down low and hard this morning. Obviously it's not done till AF shows, but I'm pretty certain and have surprised myself by how down I feel. This will be month 9 - if I'd fallen first time I'd be about to drop now, just like three of my friends are. Having a massive case of woe is me!

cats2012

Oh Black Ribboner massive hugs, but as you say you're not out yet!!

I've really shocked myself on how much this all gets to me, this is only cycle 2.5 for us (saying .5 for first as it was coming off pill so bit hard to tell) and I'm still just so worried/anxious about it all - which of course then doesn't help!!

My skin has gone icky too which is usual an AF symptom

I was so naive, loads of people just said "yeah we fell pregnant straight away", so i was convinced I'd be the same.

Welcome aboard Ian and I'm so sorry to hear about the last few weeks. I hope your stay here is short!
