Hi ladies, thought I’d kick start the May thread.
Baby dust and positivity to all of you
XxX
Good luck to you all xxxx
Hi ladies, I think officially I’m not ttc this month as I think I will miss my ov with the 2 week ban. They do recommend that you wait for your first natural af after surgery anyway. Like to be nosey and see everyone get the bfp, if you don’t mind me lurking. Xxx
Babydust to you all.Xxx
And sticky beans lol.Xxx
Scared and excited - waiting for second period after methotrexate and ruptured tube and surgery. This will be the first month TTC again - will I ever feel ready to go through it all again?
Hope I don’t have to wait too long - sending lots of baby dust to everyone else too!
Xx
Hi fran. I’m so sorry to hear about your ep. Sending you the warmest of welcomes to the TTC boards.
Personally I’ve found TTC again has been an emotional roller coaster at times, but the support from these boards has been invaluable.
Wishing you baby dust and positivity in your journey.
Bec - I think you’re right about waiting. Time and space to heal, emotionally and physically, is so important. But please do “lurk”. Your kind words and advice are so very helpful. Also if you need support, please just say. We are all hear for you.
Lots of love to all xx
Hi Fran. Xxx
Thanks. Officially we could start ttc next week but I’m thinking that’s too soon for us and having the af to date from will be reassuring and helpful. I’m still bleeding heavily at the moment so I’m sure it’s going to have an effect on my normally perfect 27 day cycle with ov on day 13 to 14. But after a chat with hubby we are just going to have " productive fun" lol so no opk for us next month. Xxx
I’ve just got period number 2 post op, so will be nervously trying this month. I have long cycles, so at nearly 33 I’m only just learning to identify signs of ovulation.
I’ve had 2 ectopic pregnancies in the past year (one on each side) so am worried about catching a further ectopic early, assuming that the remaining tube is not blocked.
I never expected that baby making would become this stressful
good luck everyone x
I know what you mean kew. They only ever tell us how easy it us to get pregnant at school, they never tell us about the pitfalls and heartache.
Sending you loads of baby dust. Xxx
Ps, I’m 33 too and just recovering from a blighted ovum that required surgery. My ep was in 2011 And was blessed with my little girl ( who is my world alalong with the hubby) in 2012. Xxx

Hi ladies - I don’t tend to come here very often then I have odd ‘symptoms’ which make me log back on :? :? !! I’m on CD22 of a 23-27 day cycle & we did most of our BD’ing between CD8-14. I don’t really class it as BD’ing anymore because we’re not really intentionally trying anymore. We did try for a long time then it all got too much and we backed off.
Anyway, I’m only posting now because from CD17 onwards I’ve had strong AF symptoms. This is highly unusual in that I don’t start getting any symptoms until a couple of days before AF - sometimes I don’t get any. It started with really sensitive nipples - so bad that it hurt when I got dressed. That was followed by waves of mild nausea, achy boobs, cramping, lower back ache, gurgly tummy & wind :oops: :oops: ! The symptoms have gone from being really strong to mild & today they are barely there. However, I feel completely exhausted (like I’ve run a marathon) & feel a bit light headed. Still getting on/off twinges in my tummy & back though but they don’t feel like regular AF twinges. Not sure what to think! I can’t believe that after years of trying and failing, it would happen now! On the other hand these symptoms, although not totally unusual, are a bit out of synch & it’s confused me a little. Going to monitor symptoms & if no AF by Fri/Sat I will test. Confused.com!! Good luck to the rest of you lovely ladies. xx
Meche, I have read recently that although it generally takes up to 10 days for implantation, it can actually happen within a day or two. Can’t remember the source, I’ve been reading all sorts recently (try to stick with reputable sources though). So could be symptoms.
Bec, I also had a blighted ovum. That was in 2012 before the two ectopics, and by far the worst experience of the 3. Probably because we went to the 12 week scan expecting all to be well. And surrounded by other pregnant women getting exciting news. I hope you are doing ok xx
Thanks Kew - who knows! Because my cycle can be as little as 23 days, I can ovulate as early as CD8-9 so dates could tie in. I also read up about these things but everyone’s body is different - mine confuses the hell out of me sometimes :? . I guess what will be will be. I can’t allow myself to fully believe that I could be pregnant but because these symptoms are so unusually I have the ‘what if’ question at the back of my mind. It’s very probably my body playing another cruel trick!! xx
Hello Everyone,
I had key hole surgery for an ectopic pregnancy on the 11th of March. I feel ready and eager to try again. Hoping it won’t take too long! It’s good to know that you’re all out there cos it can be very a very lonely experience sometimes regardless of how much support you have. Here is to some positivity and some good news for us all in the not so distant future! 
Hi meche. Welcome to the board, you seem to know your body well. I am so hoping you have positive news on the weekend (when is ad due?) just thinking of the weekend is earlier than ad then there is a chance of a false negative. It’s never over until af comes knocking.
Hi Chrissie and Kew, I’m so sorry to hear about your ep’s I had surgery too. Please be gentle with yourselves and remember to take time to heal not only physically but emotionally too.
I so hope we all get out dreams come try soon. I spent so many years being so cautious about not getting pregnant (overly so at times) now I’m so wanting it, I just can’t do it. Feeling sad today and lacking hope as time slips by.
Wishing everyone all the best in their recovery and TTC journeys. XxX
Aw thanks for the welcome. AF due anytime. Cycle ranges from 23-27 days. Officially CD23 today. Weird symptoms continue. Cramps/twinges feel different from normal - lower in my tummy and a real achy back. I’m really sorry if this is TMI ( :oops: :oops: ) but when I wiped this morning there was a stringy, sticky mucus type thing about 3cm long :? ! It didn’t overly concern me but never had that before… not even with EP! Feel hungry but slightly nauceous at the same time. I don’t know!! Just going to sit tight and wait a few more days. Good luck to everyone else. xx
Hi all,
I had surgery in February which resulted in my left tube being removed. I’ve been following this forum for the past couple of months and have found it really helpful to get through the difficult and emotional time following surgery.
After waiting two cycles we have now started our first month of TTC. I’m excited but anxious & already finding the TWW is taking forever. Trying to keep positive and sending lots of good luck to everyone TTC this month! Take care all x x
Hi Ladies, sorry I’ve been a bit absent recently! Welcome, kp82, I hope your stay here is delightfully short, for your sake!
We began our 1st cycle with Clomid this month which has caused me to feel like an hysterical crazy woman, but hopefully it will be worthwhile! I tested this morning (1st day after af due) which showed the faintest of a second line. When I say faint, I mean we really had to squint to see it, so we’re not convinced. We’ll try again in a few days. In the meantime we’re hoping to book a holiday, anyone know how late we can fly when pregnant?
Best wishes to all. XX
I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Xxx
Thanks kew, yes I’m doing fine, finding this easier than the ep but the waiting for it to all stop is hard again. Xxx
Good luck everyone. Xxx
