Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

Tryingin2018

5dpo today. Had AF like cramps earlier which wasn't pleasant. Days are going quickly though so it's a welcome distraction, I'm so busy at work. If I have too much time on my hands I obsess

Rambosmum

HappyLassie - yeah I find it difficult to think of anythign else, even though this is really only cycle one, I'm now 2 dpo and just can't think of anything else, despite being quite relaxed about whether or not I want another child at all! I think the difference is, I just don't like the not knowing.

Can I be changed to 2WW 2dpo (cd13)

T4taylor

KatieBee, HappyLassie and Rambomum I am exactly the same! Now on cycle 5 and I think it is because I am so organised in the rest of my life and we have control over almost everything so I assumed 2018 September baby- no prob!
I think about it all day every day, going on different forums and groups, taking my folic acid and EPO, looking at my temperature cycle. It is crazy because I am so busy at work and trying to buy a house but my body clock takes over everything. I even got offered a big opportunity yesterday and said yes but in my head I was thinking can I get out of this as it is not what I want right now. I am right in the middle of fertile week and feeling the pressure, although trying not to show it to hubby.
Going for every other day this month as strong swimmers can take 48hrs so if anything I will have to play it cool with him, in case he is more eager!

KatieBee that's exactly how i'm feeling now, waiting for ovulation, so then i can wait to test, etc. Its such an obsession. I have a busy day today and tomorrow and a full diary with work next week so hopefully that should keep me sane, or at least i can hope.

RambosMum, T4Taylor you've both hit the nail on the head, having no control and not knowing what is happening inside your body is excactly why we obsess.
Naively we are brought up to think, on BD and you'll be pregnant so be very careful, and it really isn't the case. I for one did not realise how much effort, on timing etc went into it.
You expect to decide to have a child, DTD and bam 9months later a little bamino in your arms.

I'm due to ovulate tomorrow, from my app, we've DTD Sunday, Tuesday hopefully tonight and then we'll try for tomorrow as well and saturday just to see that we've covered ovulation. But then i worry it's too much or too little ha ha.

That's my little rant of today.

Happylassie. Thats exactly what Ive said to friends, you get told at school, keep away from boys you will get pregnant but in reality its not that simple for most.
Its now two years since I stopped taking the pill.
I need to get realistic and start thinking about how it might not happen for us.
OH has said once the wedding is out of the way we should go to the drs. I had 21 day blood done before which confirmed I ovulate.
I guess I!!!8217;m scared of a doctor telling us it might never happen. If We dont go then we dont get bad results if you see what i mean.

HappyLassie13

Munchkin it is most definitely harder than the picture they paint. I came off the Pill in November (so not long really) but i thought "oh January will give us what we want"

I do see what you mean, no news is good news as they say. However, if there were bad results at least there are other avenues and options to try, but none of us want to hear it.

When is your wedding? My OH and I are putting a deposit down on our venue on Sunday, exciting times. although we aren't tying the knot until November 2020.

Munchkin84

Our wedding is June so really not long at all.
Think Im just feeling a bit negative about TTC at the minute. OH is away and my grandma is still not well and the redundancy last month.
Just got a lot on and none of it seems positive.
Apart from the wedding.
Sorry, feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

HappyLassie13

Munckin we all have to feel a bit sorry for ourselves every now and again. It's a roller coaster of emotions. Life loves testing us, that's for sure.

Hi all,
I agree - it's the lack of control and not knowing I find most frustrating. We're getting married at the start of May, we bought a house a few months ago which we're slowly doing up, I'm crazy busy at work trying for a promotion and still all I can think about if timings, CM, symptom spotting, etc.

CD25 here expecting AF tomorrow - slight cramps this afternoon and heavy boobs for the past two days, so I'm expecting the witch to arrive bang on time.
