Has anyone had cramping pain since ovulation during their 2ww and gone on to get their bfp?
 
Wondered for the longest time what TTC meant! Glad to have found this thread as a 29 year old woman who is looking to stop birth control in Jan and let nature run its course. Would be super useful in the next thread to have something that explains abbreviations, TTC, AF, cycles, BC, OPK (still don’t know what a few of these mean haha!). Think I’ll get a diary so I can start to track my hormonal changes and mood for the first few months x

Wanted to test today because of Christmas tomorrow (due on Boxing Day) and got a negative ☹ I had a really vivid dream last night about showing my partner a positive test so I feel a bit sad but we go again next month!

Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to join!

I’m now on cycle 4 (really not long I know) after having my implant removed. (2 implants over 6 years) & before those I was on various contraception methods such as the pill / depo injection etc, so I think altogether I have been on some form of contraception for around 10 years!

Me & my partner are currently TTC & I had my implant taken out in August 2020. I had my withdrawal bleed around 2 weeks later & then my periods have been regularish since (between 31 days & 25 days)! Which I am super thankful for as I know it can take years for cycles to return to somewhat normal.

I have also been using OPK’s & ovulation date has varied massively depending on cycle length. This month my positive was on cd11 very early considering the month before my positive OPK was cd19!

I am currently in the 2ww and due my period around 2nd Jan I think. I had some light pink cm only one wipe around 2 days ago which would be 9/10 days before my period date, (hoping it’s implantation bleeding) as I have never had anything remotely similar before. Been feeling very tired during the evenings and a lot of cramping. But then again, I’ve had symptoms before that I’m certain I just put into my head and then went on to get a BFN! Crazy how are body and minds allow us to trick ourselves, really not fair. I also understand that cycle 4 after having my implant temoved really isn’t long at all and I do not expect to blessed or fortunate enough to even be pregnant yet.

Anyway, I’m going to stop rambling on, but thank you to whoever made this thread! I have found it so helpful and reassuring during my time of TTC and love that there is a little community of us and that we can all turn to someone if we need advice :)

I’m praying for all of you amazing ladies that haven’t got their BFP yet & hope you all had an amazing, relaxing Christmas! 💖

So hard isn’t it. 😔

I don’t want to get jealous but I’ve had a few girls who have already got children announce they’re pregnant again yesterday and I’m like “but I just want one 😩”. Then I tell myself to snap out of it and be happy for them, every child is a blessing no matter what number child it is. But still just praying for my one 🤞

hope you’re ok x x

I’m currently miscarrying. Sorry if that is TMI but because it was so early, nobody had been told other than my husband and I just need someone to talk to. This is my second miscarriage this year and my third in two years. I’d been put onto Dalteparin and aspirin when this pregnancy was confirmed as I have sticky blood (I’m under the care of my local recurrent miscarriage clinic) and I honestly thought that with treatment plan in place this time would be different. I’m just heartbroken. I desperately want a child but I don’t know how much more I can put my body and heart through when this is the result.

Not sure if anyone else has read it, but Luisa Zuissman wrote a blog called Maybe Baby about TTC. I’ve just spent £70 on supplements on Amazon after reading it... lots of good reviews so hopefully they do make a difference!
