So.... first baby 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼🙏🏽 Meant to be ovulating tomorrow. Main challenge atm is keeping things fun with the husband and not making him feel like a baby making machine 😂 How’s it going for other hopeful first time mummy’s?

@Flapjackered I never took any HPT’s until Sunday as With my messed up cycle I didn’t even think I was ovulating.. I guess I was wrong 🙈
We’ve only told my mum and we’re keeping it quiet from everyone else until after we’ve had a scan.

@Delilah7 oh yeah.. time for a username change 🙊

@RosesandPonies I deffo will do... I’ve just realised I said my appts tomorrow.. I’m losing my mind 😂😬 it’s on Thursday morning 🤦🏻‍♀️

@rosesandponies told two friends completely didn't intend to

We hope to get a private scan at 8 weeks (seems to be the norm here rather than 6???) and then will tell close family. (Will probably have to tell my boss before this for practical reasons but I'm fine with that)

Then wait til nhs 12 week scan for everyone else

@hamandpease that is definitely darker! That is pregnant for sure 🎉 Don't worry over the weekend, I'd be amazed if AF popped up now. How's your OH taken the news?? Have you told your parents?

@WaitingForThatBFP congratulations! Do let us know how it goes at the midwife, will be good to hear your progress and advice as we all (hopefully) get our BFPs too!

@WaitingForThatBFP good luck darling! No need for your username now hehehe xxx

FlapJackered · 19/06/2018 16:49

@WaitingForThatBFP have you told your family/close friends yet or are you waiting?

FlapJackered · 19/06/2018 16:47

*! Not ?

FlapJackered · 19/06/2018 16:47

@WaitingForThatBFP amazing! Good luck with the appointment? I wonder why it didn't come up on HPTs until now?

WaitingForThatBFP · 19/06/2018 16:03

@hamandplease yay congratulations ♥️♥️♥️

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow to see if we can try and workout how far I am.. my test line on my FRER is way darker than my control line and a CB digital is showing 3+ weeks so my doctor reckons I’m around 6 weeks? Who knows though

Delilah7 · 19/06/2018 08:22

@FlapJackered hard not to feel the same isn't it xxx

FlapJackered · 19/06/2018 08:08

@Delilah7 try and stay positive as you don't know if you'll have trouble just because your Mum did. I know it's hard though. It took my mum 10 years to conceive so it is always in the back of my mind that I will have trouble.

Delilah7 · 19/06/2018 08:01

@FlapJackered I just have no hope this
Month. Even though I feel I done it dead on the right times. Ever since they mentioned about me being like my mum I've worried that I'm not on the right diet and will struggle getting pregnant like she did xx

Delilah7 · 19/06/2018 08:00

@hamandpease oh darling how amazing. Congrats xx

hamandpease · 19/06/2018 07:19

@FlapJackered thank you! But I'm just sticking with optimistic until the weekend is over.

And hopefully we'll have some more positives in this thread by then! X

FlapJackered · 19/06/2018 07:12

I think they definitely look darker!! It's a BFP!! I think it's time to celebrate! 🎉 🎊

hamandpease · 19/06/2018 07:06

From above.. I think it looks ok?

TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?
hamandpease · 19/06/2018 06:25

Did two more strip tests and the lines seem wider but not darker?!

But I also did a FRER which I think is looking ok?

Period due Friday / Saturday so desperately thinking sticky thoughts til then!

@hamandpease I see a faint line!! 🎉 Keep is updated tomorrow

@Delilah7 - I know what you mean, it is hard. I feel like my ovaries ache every time I see a small baby! We just have to keep telling ourselves that it will happen, and good things come to those that wait!

I am on 9dpo and trying to hold out testing until Thursday, I have sore boobs and nausea but I often get this before AF, and we only dtd 4 days before OV so I am not very hopeful. When do you think you will test?

Delilah7 · 18/06/2018 21:23

@hamandpease thanks lovely just finding it hard xx

hamandpease · 18/06/2018 21:07

@Delilah7 don't think like that try and think positive you're only 5dpo you really never know xx

Delilah7 · 18/06/2018 20:40

Hi lovelies.
Any of you got some updates for me?
Went round my brothers today for my nieces birthday, my other half is amazing with their kids just made me feel really sad, I want this so bad and certainly feel this month I'm not pregnant. At all. :( I'm only 5dpo xx
