WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Hi all,

I eagerly awaiting your BFP's. I have a feeling we will see some soon

Presh - sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of baby dust x

Miss M - how are you feeling?

AFM had our dating scan yesterday. First time we have seen peanut so we were a little anxious, not knowing if bean was ok. Peanut was moving around alot and measured 2 days ahead. My official due date is 28th July x

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Hey emz - that's great news about your scan!

I'm glad peanut is healthy and kicking away! I bet it was fab seeing him/her on the screen!

Hey Emz, glad your scan went well and baby is doing great. Love the nn peanut! I think our nn would be jellybean!

Thanks for advice on chart, someone told me to go on a website that makes adjustments for time differences, and use the temperature given on there. That's what I've done, but I suppose at this stage it doesn't really matter what I put on there. It's not a temp I needed to determine ovulation, so at this point I'm either pregnant or I'm not, and what temperature I choose to put on my chart isn't going to make a difference to that fact! I suppose it's just for spotting patterns on later cycles really.

I really hope this is our month! Don't know whether I can hold off another week to test, can see me caving in on Wednesday at 10 dpo, and then I'm just going to be disappointed (I don't feel very confident, think I'm going to be having a 2013 baby!)

I know it's easier said than done but try to stay positive. Your BFP will show itself soon, I'm sure

Hi Emz, great news about your scan. I don´t know how I´m going to be able to last that long without seeing him/her. I´m a little bit worried as until last Wednesday my symptoms were getting worse each day but since Thursday they have got loads better. The nausea only lasts for about 10 mins and comes maybe only twice a day and I´m nowhere near as tired as I was. I have my blood tests next Thursday and then nothing until my scan at the end of Feb but I´m sure they´d phone me before then if they noticed a problem with the tests. Until then I´ll just have to wait I guess.

Maz, as you said, the post ov emps aren´t overly important so don´t worry too much about it!

Hope the rest of you are all doing ok. Looking forward to some Jan/Feb BFPs!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Hey miss malteser. Aww, your LO is a blueberry how sweet!

I'm sure everything's ok with your bean. The fact you are still getting the nausea is a good thing. Bet you can't wait for your scan.

I'm 8dpo today and have been getting some stretching twinge type pains all across my lower abdomen. My boobs arnt sore but feel a bit more bruised than normal. I didn't really have many symptoms until 2 days ago. It's our first cycle using Conceive Plus so hoping and praying it's going to help us get a BFP.

Hope everyone else is ok

[mazndave]

Hi Miss Malteaser, I'm sure your little one is fine, and the weeks until your scan will fly by. Try not to worry too much that your nausea is fading, some people never experience any at all, and others only have it for a very short time (and then the unlucky ones have it for ages!)

I'm 7dpo today, and have developed a very itchy red rash in the creases of both elbows. Ive never had this before - had heat rash onb my chest before on holiday, but never anything like this at home. Has anyone ever heard of this being a symptom at all, or am I just wishful thinking?! My temperature is still rising as well, up to 36.72 at 6.30 am, which is the highest I've had so far (bar the high one the other day which I didn't go with) I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much though as I don't want the crashing disappointment when it's a bfn!

Hi all.
Hope everyone is well?

Elz - lovely summer baby! Are you going to find out the gender?
Malteser - I'm sure all is ok, and like Mazndave said the weeks will fly by.

How is everyone else doing? I'm now cd 3/4 and have had a very odd cycle! I spotted on and off for three days, light flow for one day, nothing then spotting again today. Guess it will regulate eventually. We are due the ovulate at the end of the month which will back AF / testing due around valentines day.

I'm really trying to lose some weight as don't want something I can control being the reason why it isn't happening. So am all stocked up on healthy food and have been exercising quite a bit so will see how we go. My mum and aunt are doing it with me too so have some support. X

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Thanks ladies.

Miss M - You're still having symptoms so that is great. TBH all I've had is some nausea and tingling boobs now and then. Nothing to shout about at all. I'm sure everything will be fine x

 

[miss malteser]

Thanks for your comments. My midwife phoned me this morning to change the time of my blood tests so I mentioned it to her but she doesn´t seem too worried and said that with some people the symptoms do calm down very early and don´t necessarily continue non stop for the first three months or so. But, I still think the 5 week wait until the first scan is going to go veeeeeery slowly indeed!

BabyBump and Maz, FXd for some BFPs this week!!

 

[mazndave]

BabyBump and Maz, FXd for some BFPs this week!!

Well, I caved this morning and did a test! Knew I wouldn't be able to last until Saturday....

It was a BFN as expected, but to be fair I am only 8 dpo so there is still a glimmer of hope. I've been looking at charts on FF & quite a few have negative tests at 8, 9 & 10 dpo, but go on to get bfp's at 11 onwards. My fingers are crossed that this happens to me, and I have a feeling I'll be testing every day this week in the hope that it does!! I just don't think it's my time yet though, unfortunately.

I have a dull ache in my lower back and abdomen today, but that could just be the onset of AF, and I also feel a little bit sick but I think that is probably psychological!

xx

 

[miss malteser]

You´re definitely not out yet! 8dpo is so early and if you don´t use OPKs, FF only estimates your ov date, so you may only be 7dpo.

I´ll be looking forward to the daily test updates!

 

[mazndave]

I have been using OPK's this cycle so I think my date of cd22 should be correct. Had 3 positives on cd 20, 21 & 22, and had temp rises from cd23 onwards.

I'm hoping it's not AF coming as then my LP will be pretty short, want it to hold off for at least 4 more days so that it's 12 days in total.

I'll be on here every morning with my test updates - good job I got 10 for £1.50 from SME otherwise I'd be wasting a fortune!!

[mazndave]

9 dpo .............................

Stark white BFN

Thought it would be. I know there is still chance yet, but I think I'm pretty much ruling myself out. Will def think that if it's still negative tomorrow at 10 dpo. I've got sniffles today, and cramps and backache again, but I'm classing that as symptoms of oncoming AF. TMI, but feel a little 'wet' inside as well which could be due to it being on it's way. I hope it holds off til at least Friday so that my LP is over 10/11 days.

I know in comparison to others we haven't been trying for long, but I'm really starting to wonder when it'll be our turn What if it never is??!!!!!

xx

 

[PreshFest]

I've never gotten a bfp before 10dpo.... So don't stress. And even if you do end up with a bfn this cycle, don't give up. This is only your third cycle trying, so you are still so early in the game. I've heard that it takes on average 8 months to get pregnant.

 

[mazndave]

Hey Presh, thanks for the encouragement! I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed for my BFP tomorrow!

I know we haven't been trying long and it's only my third cycle, but I think it's because they have been long it makes it feel worse. Like so far my 3 cycles have added up to 117 days and counting, which would mean I'd be into my fifth cycle by now if I was every 28 days. So I feel like I have less chance of getting pregnant within the 8 month time frame as I'll only have had 6 chances rather than 8, if that makes sense.

And even though I know it was unlikely to happen straightaway and that's completely normal, I still can't help having that niggling worry that it's because there's something wrong with one of us. I don't think you can help but have that thought really.

I hope you are keeping well? xx

 

[PreshFest]

I definitely know how hard it is to not get caught up in it all! Just hoping you can relax a little and not stress. Especially at this point when you actually still could be pregnant!

I am doing well. Just waiting for af to come so we can start trying again. But I refuse to stress over it all this time. I'm determined to let it happen when it happens and be relaxed about it. Obviously because of the ectopic I will need to test right away, but other than that I just want to be chill about it all. My last two pregnancies I was trying to control everything, which is nuts because you can't control any of that stuff! So, wish me luck. I hope I can actually achieve this!!!!

 

[Elz]

Presh - glad you're doing well, stay positive!! x

Maz - you're definitely not out yet!! So don't give up hope until you get either a BFP or AF (obviously a BFP would be infinitely better!!!) x

Well I'm 10DPO today and very nearly caved and tested, but I made myself think that it could show a BFN even if I am pregnant so there's no point in wasting a test just yet! I'm going to try my very best to hold out until Saturday morning where I'd be 14DPO and AF would be 1 day late (that's if she hasn't turned up already by then!!) I just hope this week goes by quickly and if I do end up getting a BFP this weekend, it would be the best birthday presant EVER!! If not, then nobody would be suspicious that I don't have a birthday drink!! Fingers crossed..... x

Hi ladies.

Good luck Mazndave and Elz with testing, can't wait to hear your results!

Glad to hear you're doing ok Presh x

Same old for me really, not cd7-8 I think but kind of counting this month out already as I've completely lost my mo jo - have no sex drive at all, and that is very odd! I have ally going on at the moment with work, alot of people were made redundant yesterday unfortunately and know it's going to be a tough few weeks some of those are really good friends of mine, in different departments but so horrible. I think me and my team are ok, for now.
