So sorry to hear that xI'm having a very light period, 4 weeks after having a miscarriage at 12 weeks. I'm going to start tracking again although god knows if this is my actual period or what. Think I'm going to just chill over Christmas and then start tracking ovulation in the new year. How is everyone doing?
Thank you. Yeah I'm not going to worry about ovulation dates etc over Xmas but I'll be interested to know what happens with my cycle after the miscarriage. I'm never very regular so who knows.So sorry to hear that x
Chilling over Christmas sounds like a good idea. It’s always such a busy time anyway so it’s good to take some time out for yourself too
4 DPO & I’m having the exact same symptoms as you.9 DPO today and having stretchy cm which I do not normally get. But mild cramping which does feel similar to pms symptoms.
I don’t know if it is your thing or if you would hate it but I felt like this for so long and then started following @thisisalicerose on Insta. It’s completely changed my mindset and my ideas that the universe is against me or my body is sabotaging. Sending you a huge hug.So glad to find this thread!
I’m two years into the journey, had a range of tests and nothing is coming up as unusual.
stressed as fuck teacher which doesn’t help but I’m feeling so lost and disheartened with it at the moment. I can’t get it out of my head that I’m not getting pregnant because my body/the world or whatever knows I wouldn’t be a good mum.
like you I’ve been waiting for “the right time” my partner has wanted for ages and I said we needed a bigger house, more money behind us, I needed to have been in my job longer, further in my career etc. Then I got a new job a year ago and despise it and can’t find a new one so I’ve been like I should wait for a new job then stay there 6months - 1 year before getting pregnant. Now this year I’ve realised life is too short and family is the most important thing and the only job I’ve ever really wanted is to be a mum. I’m also 27 and I honestly thought trying to not get pregnant was the hard bit. We’ve only been trying a couple of months but I was so naive and thought it would be pretty instant and then it kicks in if it doesn’t happen soon I won’t be a mum in 2021 either. Time ticks away from you and now I’ve been reading fertility declines from 27 I thought it was 30’s. Most of my friends are already mums and I’m feeling so old. If you want it just go for it life’s too short.Not completely relevant but I’ve been told that my job is at risk of redundancy next year. I’m so gutted as it’s going to throw a spanner in the works with my baby plans! I’m all ready with my ovulation strips for our first proper month of trying and now I don’t know what to do
A few people have said “don’t worry you’re only young” (I’m 27) but I’ve been waiting for this ‘right time’ for so long now I’m just so gutted. Part of me is tempted to just start trying anyway.
There never is a ‘right time’ honestly Im currently pregnant with my first fell pregnant over the first lockdown and I really wanted us to have bought and be moved in to our own house before we had kids and not be in the middle of a pandemic, but life really is too short and a baby is always a blessing at any time although to you it may not seem like the ‘ideal’ time. Sending everyone on this post lots of baby dust and hope yous all get your little babies soonNot completely relevant but I’ve been told that my job is at risk of redundancy next year.

Thank you for this, sounds like we’re in the same boat. That’s exactly what I keep saying to my partner - we might put it off until I hear about my job next year, but then it could still take ages. He’s supportive and wants a baby too but I think it’s completely different for women. I have that same feeling, I just want to be a mum and I know the pressure I’m feeling is only from myself but I just don’t want to wait any longer!like you I’ve been waiting for “the right time” my partner has wanted for ages and I said we needed a bigger house, more money behind us, I needed to have been in my job longer, further in my career etc. Then I got a new job a year ago and despise it and can’t find a new one so I’ve been like I should wait for a new job then stay there 6months - 1 year before getting pregnant.

Thank you - I think you’re right, there’ll always be something! We were waiting until we had moved house, which we have now, but the redundancy thing has now happened. In hindsight now I’m think we should have started trying earlier but it’s one of those things isn’t it. Congratulations on your pregnancy though, so exciting!There never is a ‘right time’ honestly Im currently pregnant with my first fell pregnant over the first lockdown and I really wanted us to have bought and be moved in to our own house before we had kids and not be in the middle of a pandemic, but life really is too short and a baby is always a blessing at any time although to you it may not seem like the ‘ideal’ time.
