First time TTC - thread 6

Sounds like good news for you Loxy!

Temps back up again this morning, think I need to take less notice of them though as its SS on the worst level. Normally they are hovering above coverline at this stage Basset so its hard not to get my hopes up.
I'm going to test on Sunday if AF doesn't show up as that'll be 14DPO.

basset I dunked it, this is actually the second one I took. The first I thought was neg then about ten minutes later I glanced at it and thought I could see something. So I took this one and took that photo at the two minute mark to check something did appear early on.

Derp, cd26 I mean

11 dpo, cd 25

So this is.... mental. I mean I knew I was mental for testing but this is even more mental.

Wow loxy!! what dpo are you??

In answer to your question, kaydee

What on earth is this?

Sorry ladies, seem to be having the busiest few weeks at work, so struggling to keep up!! My 'spotting' tailed off yesterday morning & now is just a beige tinge, so who knows!! Also no idea if this is unusual for me or not, as we're only cycle 3, I have no idea what usual is!!

Kitty your holiday sounds perfectly timed any news on the provera?

LSFX pyjamas, loxy, basset, kiwi & flora!! Who's next to test??

Very jealous of your holiday kitty! It's our first anniversary soon and we found it really difficult to decide what to do. In an ideal world, we would've gone skiing - but the potential prospect of being not able to ski or indulge in apres ski 🍷 was not appealing to me!

Have still got fx for you Flora - could still be on to a winner 😀

AF due in a week - still nothing of note to report.

Good work on the holiday Kitty - life is too short and think its important to have things to look forward to that you can actually control!

So my temp went back up a little this morning so in less of a bad mood, seriously though my temps this month are so high compared to previous. I would have been THRILLED with this temp at the same stage last month.

Still not particularly hopeful but at least I'm feeling less murderous!

kiwi got my FX for you! its soo hard not to symptom spot during the TWW
pjs i think your right there we all need some months were we dont track or anything just to relax and go with the flow :) stress free

ah flora Hopefully AF stays away!!

Zohz Yeah i get what you mean it will definitely change everything but it would be for the better :) everyone i know with a baby lives have changed massively but every single one of them have said they wouldn't change a single thing. I suppose when your in that position you just adapt and change accordingly as your not your own priority anymore.

Bliss Got my FX for you! maybe use one of the tests that you can use 5 days before your period is due they arent 99% accurate the earlier you use them but might give a hint of something.

Im still waiting on provera to come into pharmacy ( Begining to wonder if its a sign ) been waiting since Sunday! they keep saying it will be in the next day

Also me and my partner have went mental and just booked a holiday to Greece for Summer we said this year we wouldn't be going on holiday mainly because we thought I would be pregnant long before now and to save money. But we thought even with us still trying theres a risk i could still be not pregnant by then and ill be like brilliant no baby or holiday Hopefully I will be pregnant and sipping mocktails complaining of morning sickness in the sun. plus the main reason we are going is my partner lost his dad last year to MND so thought a nice relaxing holiday would help him out holistically ....... Its weird im feeling super guilty typing this like i shouldn't be allowed to go on holiday just because we are TTC

loxy TWW here for me too and symptom spotting all over the place - I have had had ewcm for over a week continously now since ov and I will be gutted if I'm not this month now!! Stupid symptoms..stupid af..stupid ttc argh!

Hello hellooooo - yep, am still here ☺️ Quiet, but still here and following everything! Work has been annoying me no end. Am on CD20 here so about a week to go on the TWW - no symptoms whatsoever, which is the same every cycle.

Zohz - you hit the nail on the head there, those thoughts cross my mind every time. I really really want that BFP, but I suspect a very small part of me will be screaming "what have i done!!!!" when it does happen 😂

Sorry about the temp dip flora - those temps can drive us batshit!

On the DH/performance/pressure issues - I always say to DH it's not compulsory, but this is the right time so just let me know if you want to, then totally leave it. He usually then initiates himself!

Still not temping or tracking anything, and I'm loving it 😁😁

I'm fairly sure I felt Ov pain basset but I haven't tracked it so I guess it could be! Very little today & seems to have stopped now, so back to the waiting game!!

Ah no flora but you're not out until she appears!!

Zohz I kind of get what you mean, it's a big adjustment so bound to have an effect on your life but 99% for the better I reckon

Do you know what your usual lp is bliss? That would give you an indication of when AF is due, and at 10dpo testing, FRER is prob best for the most accurate result! Have my fx for you!! CD20 so a day behind you, and going to try & hold out until the 11th!!

Massive bold fail

Welcome loxy

Basset* try not to feel to bad you could say the positive of not TTC next cycle means no xmas baby?? I know we've talked about this before and I'm one of those who will be trying regardless, however I'd probably be a little relieved to not have an xmas baby.

How is the spotting going kaydee?

Sorry for the temp dip flora not out yet though. Fx

Is pjs still around?

Zohz I have wanted a baby for what feels like a lifetime and I certainly haven't been dealing with TTC well. But I have to say when I was looking at holidays I could book this year I couldn't help but feel sad that it those kinds of holidays aren't baby friendly. And I also love my sleep and have serious concerns how I will cope with the lack of.

So it's cd21 and according to ff 5dpo my 'usual' cycle is 26 (but that hasn't been the case the last few cycles) I've learnt this cycle that I ovulate later than I thought. I k ow it's rare to see a BFP much before 14dpo however I'd be 10dpo when my af would be due. I'd be testing on cd 26 regardless as that's the day I have my gp appointment, guess I'm a bit confused about when I'd show a positive?
Long one again sorry

My FW has started! On a side note, do any of you feel like you really want to get pregnant and have a baby of your own, but still second guess yourself when thinking about the way life will change and how it might affect your job, marriage etc?

Seems that I jinxed myself ladies. Temp dip this morning so think AF will be here by the weekend. Urgh

Hmm think it might be too early for implantation? Fairly certain it's the DTD but thanks for the fx

Feeling good about some BFPs on this thread soon!! Fx ladies!!!

Thanks Blanket :) fx for everyone!

I'm just glad I haven't been tempted by the giant stack of tests under my bed XD seems like every month my body decides to present a different symptom only to then go "Fooled ya, just AF" so I'm trying not to get too invested in the idea. Trying at least, haha

FX everyone :)

Hi Loxy
kaydee I was thinking the same as blanket, maybe implantation!
flora was going to ask how many dpo you are and then saw you'd read my mind. Hope the temps stay high and af stats away.

Seems a few of you are in tww - hope there's at least a couple of bfp's this month!!

She's due on Wednesday Eva but already spotting :( and getting bloody uncomfortable cramps to boot

Oh Basset :( maybe he's getting stage fright? Because he knows how much you both want this and the pressures getting to him? Is he as concerned about the lack of finale as you?

Kaydee could that be implantation bleeding?!

Ohhh Flora! Must not make your ss worse by me getting excited

Welcome Loxy! Looks like you could be on to a winner?
