First time TTC - thread 6

AF was here to greet me this morning unfortunately. Had a bit of a cry 😭 but doing ok now, for now. Congratulations Loxy! And sorry to the other ladies with BFN.

blissful 10dpo is early to get a bfp on a frer nevermind an IC so I still have everything crossed for you

Aw, sorry bliss just a case of wait and see I guess

Thanks guys! I have no idea what to do with myself now! I thought this would take ages to happen.

Sorry kiwi about your bfn :(

pjs af was due yesterday, my cycles are usually 27 days, never been longer than that. Last week I had fatigue, dizziness, a couple of days of giant back acne (weird) and massive hunger. Last few days I've been able to feel a little crampy tugging in my tummy slightly to the left and my boobs are aching more. I've had all of those symptoms in various combos before af but never all in one go, lol.

Congrats loxy

Sorry for bfn kiwi
I am in the same boat, 10dpo (which I know is early) however I'm cd 26 which is my usual cycle length.

I tested with an ic and it's Snow White.

Usually pre menstrual cramps and mood etc. I have a lovely night shift to cheer myself up later. Oh well doctors on Monday afternoon fx they say something helpful.

Good luck to the other testers.

Due today eva.... Tiny part of me is hoping i just tested too early :(

Yeeeeeeeeesssss loxy!! Congrats!! Remind me - was AF due today? Any symptoms?

Sorry for bfn kiwi 💐

Fx for you Eva - you never know!!

Congrats loxy
So sorry for the bfn kiwi but fx she stays away, when is/was she due?
flora?...

FF has now picked up ov as Thursday so 3dpo here. Not great timed DTD but still hope cycle 11 is 'the one'. Thankfully my holiday is booked at the end of this cycle as a pick me up if not. Getting my cd21 bloods done on Friday.

BFN for me :( AF due today but nothing yet..congrats loxy!

Reporting live from my bed - I think we have a winner!

Good luck to the testers!!!

Oh my god this is too exciting you guys!!

I need pee on stick updates first thing please! Fx for you all

Come onnnnn BFP's!!! 🤞🏻🍾

Ooooh, flora that sounds really promising! You sound just like me atm, I've been hungry all week, feeling crampy and since AF has been absent today I keep checking my cervix and it feels weird, not quite ovulation soft but much softer than normally before AF.

kiwi I didn't test today as I missed FMU and DH isn't properly convinced by my very very faint lines so I'm hoping a stronger line tomorrow will do the trick. :D

FX for us all! haha

Ooo good luck testers! Hope to see some bfps tomorrow

Well fx flora! loxy did you test again today? I'm testing tomorrow morning and already freaking out about it!

Noooo haven't tested yet! I'm too scared to! Will test tmrw unless she has shown up by then. Suffice to say though that I'm taking knicker watch to a new extreme

Ooh sounds good flora have you done a test? I don't think your luteal phase can vary by that much - only one day either side of normal length so could be something exciting!!

*soft

So it's all gotten a bit weird in this corner. After a huge temp dip yesterday - no AF. Then temps back up a bit this morning (still below coverline though) and in addition I'm 13dpo and last month luteal phase was only 10 days (11 the month before...) so not sure what to think. Still got a load of cramps, am ravenous (standard) cervix is high and sort and I've a dribble of creamy cm. Is my body just fucking with me....?!

That's fine in my book. I was planning on having the odd sip here and there anyway, especially as it's out 1st wedding ani end of this month. No way I'm not having a teeny tiny glass of champagne on that day! But knowing I can have a beer with curry night is fantastic XD

It's 0.5% (as a lot of non-alcoholic beers are) loxy , but I'm fine with that! Sainsbury's deliver Nanny State as well (am such a lush ha ha). Fx for you tomorrow!!

Pjs I didn't know brewdog did a non-alcoholic beer! That's fantastic news, I never really thought of trying something like that but I do love brewdogs :)

eva Wahey, good luck! Hope you can chill for the rest of the month :)

pie That's so rough. Good luck with the move, hopefully you'll have some positive developments soon xx

Last night I was feeling more and more crampy so I was convinced that I'd wake up to a mess as is usual for day 28 for me. Lay in bed for about an hour before I eventually decided to get up to pee and sort myself out aaaaand nothing. Still nothing now. Didn't take a test as in my low expectations I'd immediately started FMU without a cup to hand lol. I'll be prepared tomorrow if AF stays at bay - can finally break out the FRER!

Anecdote time - told DH i fancied a cheese burger for dinner, he said "Oooh! Blue cheese?" I was like "No. Not blue cheese " to which he replied "It's not my fault that you might be preg- oh. Oh yeah, no it kind of is my fault." Yeah, DH. It's at least 50% physically your fault AND it was your idea :P

Got home at 7, watched last night's celebs go dating, tonight's eastenders, about to watch the replacement, then will watch tonight's celebs go dating! What a riveting rock n roll life I lead 😂

Becks Blue isn't bad Eva - but Nanny State by brew dog is my favourite as I'm more into ales than lagers! I find the taste does take the edge off though. Good work on the dtd - I'm rooting for you!

Hope you're doing ok pie 💐💐

Oh my goodness pie that's a lot to take in. Is there anything they can give you to try to balance the hormones out? My friend has a similar thing and had a mc due to hormones and she mentioned something about injections. Sorry don't know too much about it. And as for the mini strokes - what are they doing about them? Your gp should do the bloods and refer you for a pelvic scan?

basset sorry for AF

pjs gah I know I could murder a glass of wine tonight but after the gp chat I'm scared to touch the stuff so giving it a miss! Maybe I'll get some becks blue in the fridge for when I get the urge.

Woo managed to get a DTD in last night. Temp rose this morning so think ov has already happened but going to try another (bribed) DTD tonight just in case.
I promise to put the thermometer away once ov is confirmed, and relax (that special thing they keep telling us about....)

Have a great weekend all, good luck for testing loxy
