Thank you for this wonderful reply! One of the most supportive, and non judgemental

I also wish you lots of luck! I will try and update on here as much as possible, and will be adding trackers etc at some point.

AF is pretty much full flow today, and cramps so bad they woke me up.

I'm, to say the least, devastated

Sorry af got you hunni it is vile when you are convinced that your symptoms mean you must be preggo and then the nasty witch flies in anyway. Just keep doing exactly as you are and you will get your bean I hope you don't have a long wait like I'm having! Xx

I think mine is about to show up, as well. Been cramping for the last week or so and yesterday had a smidge of blood (which I really don't believe could be implantation bleeding but who knows). I just have that feeling that it's coming. I am pretty sad about it, and don't know how my OH will react since this was our first month of trying, but I guess we'll find out soon!

Better luck to us all next month!

Oh and forgot to ask - where are you from? Sorry ahead of time if you didn't want to say or if you've said before, lol!

I am not trying to sound condescending but it is a reality of what is needed to live. I just met with a financial planner and was told the rule of thumb is to always have at least 6 months of living expenses in the bank otherwise something could happen (like losing a job, injury,ect) and you could be out of a home or in debt. And it is even more important when you have to take care of a child, you do not want to put them in that situation. My best friend growing up always had a family who struggled and I saw what she went through having to live in and out of motels and apartments and she was miserable even though her family treated her well. She ended up living with me for years because it was such an unstable environment. It happened because her mom had an injury and couldnt go back to work so they could not afford what they used to. Sometimes the unexpected happens and thats why they say to have 6 months of living expenses.

Anyway I am sorry AF showed up for you. I am on my 3rd month so I understand how upsetting it is, you can do everything right and still have no luck it is frustrating isnt it!? My good friend has been trying for over a year and her and her DH got checked out and they are both normal. I think even if you are doing everything right you only have a 1 in 5 chance any given month. You would think it would be easier If you havent yet you should check out the great sperm race on Youtube, there are 6 parts to it. It is very interesting and shows you how difficult it can be to get pregnant. It at least puts me a little more at ease when it doesnt happen. Good luck next month!

My AF joined the Bitch Club today too, love.
I hope next month is our month.

Hi this is the first thread I've read on TTC and it's a little contraversial but very relevant to me

I'm Chloe, 20 and we just decided to TTC this month I haven't really started properly on my journey yet, so I can't really say I understand, but I'm here if you want to chat about anything and I wouldn't worry too much about the criticism, there'll always be someone/people who don't agree with what you're doing. I don't plan on telling my family either, as a) it's not their business and b) I want to be able to relax into TTC and not worry about outside pressures x

I know - it's so cruel :'( I was so convinced! I don't understand why it didn't work

I hope it works out for all of us

Sorry to hear that (and sorry I'm late)!

Hopefully this month is ours! No more BD'ing for me as me and OH had an argument last night, and now he's gone home, so no idea when we're going to make up but we did BD on CD11 and CD13, and I think I ovulated yesterday. So hoping it's our month but doubting it, to be honest.

I'm really scared I can't get pregnant, tbh. A lot of girls my age and younger are getting pregnant, and, although I've been on a lot of bc, I haven't always been careful yet have never fallen pregnant! I'm scared there's something wrong with me ..

Oh, and I'm from London. x

VERY frustrating especially when all these horrible people around me are getting pregnant, and I have a friend who's 17 with two kids, and possibly pregnant again (her youngest ds is only 5 months old!). She's a better Mum than some young Mums, but still could be a lot better. She shouts at her two year old a lot, and there's no real routine in the kid's lives. It's so unfair ..

I've checked it out. It's pretty cool
