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?

@Delilah7
Hey 😊
Nope nothing like that...1st cycle trying to conceive but not really properly...just dtd and now af is 3 days late. No bfns and today is the first day I'm feeling a symptom...body is aching and I am shattered. Normally with Af I just want to eat chocolate and can feel her coming for days haven't had anything like that this time.
So confused lol

Delilah7 · 14/06/2018 11:58

@Ask1984 hi lovely. Have you just come off the pill or contraception? Could be your body adjusting! Xx

Ask1984 · 14/06/2018 11:44

Hi lovely ladies can I join please?
Going a bit nuts over here so would love some advice and support
So it’s our first cycle ttc, did the baby dance once during ovulation (maybe a day or two before by my basic calculations)
I’m now approx 16dpo and af about 3 days late. All bfns since 10dpo and still no sign of af. I’m never late for my period so going nuts. Just want to know either way.
Have used frers, clear blues and Superdrug’s hpts.
With my dd I got a faint positive at 10 or 11 dpo!
HELP IM DRIVING MYSELF NUTS. First time posting ever 🙈

Delilah7 · 14/06/2018 11:31

@hamandpease excuse my French but I couldn't go inside and do it that creeps me out ( personally ) well think yourself lucky I didn't post a pic haha! Just when I wiped xx

hamandpease · 14/06/2018 11:29

@Delilah7 maybe too much information but I'm really not sure about the cm measuring 😂

Do you actually reach inside to see? Or just notice when you go to the loo?

Delilah7 · 14/06/2018 11:22

@hamandpease literally! I'm determined not to take one until I've missed a period. Problem is this month I don't know when to calculate my days past ovulation from. As I'm stopping DTD after tonight for a few days... but only had the stringy clear stuff yesterday! Xx

Hello - total newbie here!

TTC #1, 29 yo and husband 31 yo. Cycle 6 now (AF came today).

Tried the temperature charting thing which didn’t work as I get up 2747483 times in the night for a pee. Tried the Clearblue OPK kit for the first time last month two days before my supposed ovulation day and got a smiley. Though I’m not pregnant so obviously we missed the boat.

Anyway, just wanted to join in and speak with people in the same situation. I’m driving everyone around me crazy with TTC talk, and all I get is “it will happen, just don’t think about it” which doesn’t help at all.

❤️

FlapJackered · 14/06/2018 09:28

😂 it's sooo difficult to wait though!
@hamandpease I am 5dpo too! I think I am going to test on June 24th if I can hold out that long! I have a feeling this is not my cycle though. 😕

hamandpease · 14/06/2018 09:17

@Delilah7

A new take on the term 'pissing away money' 🤦‍♀️

P.s sounds like you're covered this month with BD/DTD 👌

Delilah7 · 14/06/2018 08:43

@hamandpease because it's so tempting!! Hahahaha x

hamandpease · 14/06/2018 08:02

I tested at 5dpo

FIVE

why?!?!?! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Delilah7 · 14/06/2018 07:24

@FlapJackered I done the deed. Think I should tonight too. Done it 2 days in a row atm x

FlapJackered · 13/06/2018 21:21

If it's clear get cracking! Clear means you're fertile but as far as I know it doesn't change on the day you ovulate.

Delilah7 · 13/06/2018 18:54

Ladies quick! Small blob of clear cm, is this before or after ovulation?!

Trying1stBaby · 13/06/2018 16:04

Thanks everyone. @rosesandponies no sign of AF... Which I know is a good sign. However a chemical can happen any time up to 6weeks. So I just got to take it a few days at a time. And fingers crossed I really want this to stick! It's just too awful otherwise! Thanks guys for how supportive you've been it's so lovely recieving positive vibes from you all ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

@Trying1stBaby got everything crossed for you x

Delilah7 · 13/06/2018 07:42

@Trying1stBaby I understand it's probably hard to get excited again isn't it. :( I feel for you. Do let us know. We love a BFP! X

Trying1stBaby · 13/06/2018 07:34

My period was due Monday Tuesday or today... On average. I am trying... I get so nervous each morning when I do another test. If I keep getting darker tests until Monday IL pop to the Dr and ask them to do blood work to check my HCG is high enough. But need to get through the next few days... Take it a bit of time at a time I guess.

Delilah7 · 13/06/2018 07:29

@Trying1stBaby oh my gosh how dark is that!! We all have our fingers crossed for a keeper. Keep faith and hope darling x x congratulations!

FlapJackered · 13/06/2018 07:23

That is quite a bit darker now! When is/was your period due? I know it's hard to relax after a chemical, but I think it's a keeper this time! So many congratulations!

Trying1stBaby · 13/06/2018 06:39

Hi ladies. I'm not sure how I'm getting on ATM... I have been testing everyday and the test has been gradually getting darker. I have attached today's one... I'm just worried it's not getting darker enough quick enough or it's going to just stop and IL have another chemical... I didn't realise how much it affected me. I feel quite negative. But I'm probably just looking out for myself a little.

FlapJackered · 12/06/2018 23:09

@hamandpease 😂😂😂 the symptom spotting is hilarious! I was feeling a bit nauseous today and then realised it was more likely due to the entire tub of ice cream I ate. 🤢 Oops!
