TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

Congratulations @Glitzy07!! 🎊💐🎉So many exciting things happening for you with a new house and BFP!x

@BambiOnIce80 thanks so much, I feel less like I’m going mad now haha. I’d love to be pregnant but if it’s my first AF due I’ll be glad to see it if it stops this nausea, I’ve not been able to eat in days which is not like me, I love my food xx

I hear you @ValidUser - I swore to myself that I wouldn't test until at least 3 days post AF being late from now on... until last cycle when it became clear that if I didn't it'd unnecessarily stop me from enjoying cocktails on a night out 🍸😄 If you do cave in and test early, please make sure you get one that has sensitivity for HCG down to 10IU/ml. Less chance of getting a false BFN that way. The normal ones are usually only sensitive down to 25IU/ml, so they're not designed for an early test and you'll be wasting your money.

Don't ever apologise for being frustrated (especially about symptom spotting!) on here @laura1405 🙂 You're in very good company with us!

I felt horribly nauseous with a heightened sense of smell for 2 days last cycle right before AF was due and had never been so convinced that I had finally gotten pregnant. Then woke up the next day with no nausea, a BFN and AF rocking up 3 hours later 😕 I feel your pain! Rant away 😉x

@validuser just saw your previous posts about your 2ww next week, good luck!! Wishing you lots of baby dust your way xx

Thank you @validuser we're super excited! We didn't think it would happen so quick. I always felt it would take forever I'm 31 this week and my partners 6 years older so always thought we'd have issues but we've been very lucky. Obviously only early days. The clear blue says 2-3 wks means 5 wks from last period which works out the same as what I thought so if am goes well an April baby xx

@crystalblaze Good luck, do you feel super tired? The only symptoms I really got were super tiredness, tender boobs when I touched them, got a cold and sore throat which apparently can be a sign. Hope baby dust comes your way, not long now til you know

Congratulations @Glitzy07!!! ❤️

I finally did a pregnancy test morning... so our 1st cycle, been taking prenatal vitamins for a couple of months or so, coq10, l'arginine and conceive plus lubricant and we BD 2 days which I think from my Ovia app works out a day before and after ovulation. AF was due last Sat/Sun, I held off testing til this weekend. Ordered it online as was so busy with the move and arrived today... did the test... :)

Afrernoon everyone!! How's everyone ? We completed on our house on Friday so been very busy with the move!! Still unpacking as we speak and back to work tomo for 2 days then it's my birthday and can chill :) congratulations @cookiewaffle!! Soooo pleased yay.

Happy Sunday everyone . I’m suffering with very bad nausea now coupled with heightened sense of smell making it worse and still trying to determine if this from coming off the pill or not. I went to the doctor Friday and he did a pregnancy test which was -ve but has said it may be too soon to tell. The logic part of me doubts very much that these will be pregnancy symptoms as I think it would be far too soon too tell as only came off rhe pill end of July and only been trying for last week/fortnight but I can’t help but get my hopes up. I genuinely wouldn’t mind feeling so sick if it was down to being lucky and pregnant but right now hating my body as it’s probably not that. Needed to vent and get it out my system sorry. Xx

You're so right Bambi! I'll try not, but I'm already starting! Will try my best to wait for a late AF to test. May be a lot to ask of myself though. 😂

@Bambi I don't think so yet, usually ovulate around cd20 I think, but not sure if these vitamin C tablets might have an effect on that this month.. am using my clear blue digital ovulation kit and it still shows a clear circle so nothing yet! Sounds like we are both doing everything this month with extra supplements and stuff, keeping everything crossed for you 😁
@ValidUser hope you have a speedy and successful tww!

Oh, poor you @ValidUser! One of my work colleagues has Ehlers Danlos, so I know a little bit about it from her. She had her last baby at the age of 46... not sure if she had your initiative to embrace the syringes though 😉

Try not to drive yourself nuts symptom spotting over the next 11 days (says someone who always tries and fails not to drive herself nuts during the TWW 🙄). It never fails to amaze me how every little twinge you'd never normally give a second thought to takes on huge significance and is obsessively analysed as a sign of implantation during the TWW!

I think TWW time is a bit like dog years versus human years - 1 TWW day feels like 1 normal month 🤔

@BambiOnIce80 we syringed me 9 times during fertile week and starting first TWW (more like 11 day wait) today!

Back recovered a bit. Danced at a wedding last night. Now firmly back out. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is fun.

So you can join the rest of us cracking on with the TTC fun then @Delilah7 🙂

I got a BFP on the OPK yesterday (CD14) and DTD CD11, CD13, CD14 so far and hopefully going to go for it again tonight. We've used the preseed everytime this cycle, pillows under bum afterwards for at least 10 minutes and we're both taking conception support vitamins... we're throwing everything we've got in the arsenal at it this month!

@ValidUser, how's the syringing going?

@RanchoRelaxo, are you in your fertile window too? If so, how's it going?

If you don't mind talking about it @Delilah7, what did the doctors say about when you can start trying again? Do they say to wait for next AF or can you start straight away (if you feel ready, of course)?

Sending you love @Delilah7 💖 It will happen for you and I'm sure it'll be soon.x

Ooh I get those sometimes and they're huge and sore I think I'm gonna die of some horrible disease and then I pop it and it goes away...
