They usually do your thyroid with LH and FSH x
Hope you get to sleep tonight hunnie.

I'm in bed, got work in morning. OH in work, won't get in until 4.30am
Tired, irritable and crampy 6 dpo

Hope everyone is all ok xxxxx

You sound like me! My husband works nights so I sleep alone and I am now 7DPO and feeling the cramps

 

[Sparklegirl]

A friend from work text me to tell me she's pregnant again. I really should just get used to this!

I feel your pain, another friend of mine is pregnant too and another one is expecting twins. Its always hard to hear even if we are pleased for them it dosent lessen my pang of jealousy

 

[MrsS15]

Afternoon ladies!

7dpo today. I had the worst backache and stomach cramps all day yesterday that didn't ease up. Still lingering today but not as bad. My boobs woke me up I don't know how many times last night. Can't stop peeing either. I know no matter how many symptoms I have a natural bfp isn't on the cards for me!

Sparkle, it is hard. I want to be happy for people but I know it's my sadness for myself that's overcrowding it!

Hope everyone's okay today xx

 

[Crazycatwoman]

Evening ladies,

Hope your all ok !
Very quiet in here lately. Miss talking to you all x

I'm 8 dpo. My cm has been dry since ovulation. Today looks I had a bit of creamy cm ( white in knickers )
I'm feeling out already

 

[Donna88]

Evening ladies, thought I would pop in and say hello.

I don't know if any of you remember me but I came on here quite a lot over Summer, due to different circumstances we had to stop trying but we took the route of not going on contraception and just using condoms (I'm hoping this has done my body some good as it took me over a year to get some regular periods back after being on the depo)

We're not trying just yet as we now have a cruise booked, but looking to start trying in April.


I'm sorry to see that some people who were here back when I was trying before are still here, but looking forward to starting my journey again with you-fingers crossed you will all have your BFP's before I start and then that I won't be too far behind you *hugs* to you all

 

[MrsS15]

Morning (ish)

I'm feeling out too Hayley. I'm 9dpo and although I've been having lots of cramps lower backache tender boobs and peeing loads I know my body is just playing tricks on me. The boobs aren't sore now I'm in work and haven't noticed any cramping. I've started getting some random spots though which is always a telltale sign for me my period will come. I just can't wait to start treatment now, I'm so by all this!

Donna, lovely to see you back. Your cruise sounds amazing, you've got that to look forward to and before you know it April will be here! Xx

 

[Crazycatwoman]

Morning,

Welcome back Donna. Maybe you should TTC whilst on your cruise, you will be totally relaxed and not thinking about it.

9 dpo, not much symptoms. I've had crazy and weird dreams since ovulation and sore crusty bloody nose for about 4 days.
Few niggles but they have gone,

Leah, are you due the same time as me ? I'm due 22nd x

 

[MrsS15]

I'm the opposite and have quite a lot going on, but learnt these mean nothing to me. Don't think I'll even bother testing!

I'm due the 20th or 21st, my LP is 13 or 14 days. Our cycles seem similar though so we should stay in sync xx

 

[lillith112]

Morning girls, I'm 8dpo, no symptoms, all usual pre af, sore boobs but not pregnancy sore, cm is bone dry, no weird dreams and my skin is oily and red blotchy, when I am pregnant my skin goes lovely and pale and clear. I know I'm out too this month. I'm currently sat in hospital waiting for 21 day bloods, well day 22. AF due on the 22nd. Sorry to hear you girls think you are out too. I'm wondering whether to even bother ttc anymore. xx

 

[sexylips]

Hi girls just wondering if anyone can help...I started to lose blood at around 2-3ish yesterday afternoon since then I've had a lot of stomach cramps backache and a lot of pressure around my private area almost like something's pushing down from inside I'm not bleeding loads but the pain is uncomfortable any help appreciated I'm on cd27 my cycles are usually around 31 days

 

[Donna88]

Sorry to hear AF looks like she's on her way MrsS when do you start treatment?

Thanks crazycatwoman; our cruise isn't until summe but you can't travel if you're over 24 weeks; so I might be already pregnant on it... if not then will be keeping fingers crossed for a nice relaxed cruise baby lol.

Lilleth I'm sorry you're feeling that way; don't give up... this TTC business is hard going and can be a massive strain emotionally but you will get there.


Sexylips sorry I don't know what to suggest; just see how things go up until your period is actually due. I think it sounds like too much blood to be implantation bleeding :/ but I am no expert so don't take my word on that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

 

[Donna88]

April does seem so far away; husband had gone off the idea of TTC whilet we weren't but now we're talking about it again he's getting quite excited and I think I'm going to have to be the strong one as he seemed quite up for just throwing caution to the wind; as much as I do want a baby we can't really afford to waste the money we've spent on th holiday if we got pregnant sooner and then weren't allowed to board

 

[sexylips]

The bleedings not heavy nor is it light its mainly the pain that's uncomfortable keeps making me feel sick and weak x I'm going to ring out of hours see what they say x

 

[lillith112]

Bless you Donna, thankyou for the positivity, it will be 2yrs ttc on the 25th of this month. One bfp September just gone but lost it, it seems like it will never happen. I am stopping ttc in August this year as I will be 45yrs old, way too old. To be honest the stress of ttc now is at the point that I am close to throwing the towel in. My fiance said that he wants to give up due to the disappointment each month. I'm pretty happy if it never happens now, at least we gave it all we could. You can't force something that isn't meant to be. xx

 

[Pinkz]

Lillith I'm sad to see the stress and disappointment of this all. It can so easily take up so much of your life. Maybe just a break would help? Or are you sure about giving up? A lot of women I work with have had their firsts recently around 45. Some naturally. Some with ivf. Dont think you are too old though!

 

[Donna88]

So sorry to hear that, only you can make that decision and what is right for you and your fiance. It can be quite patronising if a stranger on the net keeps telling you things will work out. I wish you all the best though and will still keep my fingers and toes and everything else crossed for a little miracle for you before you give up

 

[MrsS15]

Lilith, so sorry to read how you feel. I'm right there with you, long term ttc is one of the hardest things, actually probably thee hardest thing I've ever been through. Chucking a loss in there too is just horrible! Please continue until august though, your little rainbow could be just round the corner!

Donna I've got my first ivf appointment to go through paperwork etc next Wednesday. So looking forward to it! I hope you get a lovely little cruise baby.

I think I'm 10/11dpo. I've had cramping practically the whole tww, peeing loads and the biggest thing I've had is huge amount of cm. I've never had so much! I know it al means nothing and just another example of how my body loves a trick!

How's everyone else? Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Fx that it is a good sign though leah
I agree with pinkz lillith, many mums only start having thier firsts at your age ! X

 

[MrsS15]

I hope so hun but accepted it won't mean anything. I just bought some cheapies today from b&m but don't know how good they are. I'll test tomorrow although I know the outcome, I don't have mega sore boobs, only tender. Really painful boobs has been my telltale! When I was pregnant with my son I never had any symptoms bar loooads of cm and cramping but no sore boobs. He's been my only successful pregnancy so really I should base my symptoms on his pregnancy more often. Thinking about how similar I feel now is what's giving me the little bit of hope!

How are you keeping Ashleigh? Sorry I don't venture into pregnancy section much to keep up with you but I always think of you xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Ahh! Hopefully you won't need that ivf!! Personally I'm not keen on b&m tests. Home bargains are the best one imo. Also I hate the pound shop ones you know the clear and simple ones. I was getting only faint lines on them but had 2-3 on digi wtf. Made me worry for nothing.

You don't have to apologise, I never went in the pregnancy section either, it made me sad, seeing where I would have been with all my pregnancies.
I'm ok. Had my 8 weeks scan baby has a good heartbeat, but I'm measuring smaller then what I should (which is how my miscarriges usually start) but it was abdominal and not a tv scan so I've read I have to take it wth a pinch of salt basically, the epu were terrible so I'm booking another private scan. I've never got this far, usually I miscarry at 8 weeks so fx that it's my rainbow!! The women said I have a bump stating where my uterus is, oh I cry over everything lol.Was sick also for the first time this morning and I was so happy (lmao, never had nausea or sickness with the rest). Xx
