TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

Oh no @BabySquid! 😞 The TWW doesn't half mess with us, doesn't it?! 😔 I've never been so sure I was pregnant as last month because I was feeling queasy and hypersensitive to smells the day before AF was due, but she turned up the next day, regular as clock work 🙄 Sending you much love.x

@BambiOnIce80 @Delilah7 I may not need to test. Getting more and more red spotting so I think AF is here and just being a real pain!

Just catching up on the events of the day. I'm sorry about your sister being like that @Delilah7, it can't be nice to deal with but we're all here for you :)
My thermometer arrived a day early so I can start temping from tomorrow! I know I'm mid way through a cycle but it's more just to get used to doing it daily!
How's everyone else doing today?

Thanks @Delilah7. Was reading the rest of the thread as well. Sorry that you're sister isn't being nice and supportive when you need her most. Like you said we are all here for you

Positive thinking and focusing on your future all the way @Delilah7 💖

When I hear about things like what you're going through, it makes me kind of thankful for being an only child! You can certainly choose your friend's, but not your family.x

Hi! I'm TTC naturally by making adjustments to diet, health and taking some Indian herbs to help. I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months back. I tried Clomid on my own for three months but didnt work. It made me gain a lot of weight wont go back to it now. This whole proess is making me so depressed esp as all my girl friends are getting pregnant and I;m the only one left.

@Delilah7, that's definitely the kind of limelight that we can all do with out. Try not to let her get to you. Try to focus on yourself and let her get on with it.

@BabySquid, I know you said you didn't want to test until the weekend, but maybe reconsider if it's driving you crazy. Another day and a half is a very long time to wait in TWW terms - take this from a hopeless symptom spotter like myself!

@Delilah7, in my experience if you get a BFN and then you get your AF, then that's not a miscarriage - that's just someone not being pregnant and getting AF. Do you think your sister is maybe trying one-upmanship on you?

@Bettyhop, I can see your control line good and clear, but not much else - maybe try the inversion trick on your photo editor to show us if you think there's a faint line there?

@catlady3 welcome 👋 We're pretty used to TMI on here (and lucky you for the dirty weekend 😉).

@Delilah7, sorry to hear your sister's still being a bee-atch 😔 You'll have to tell her that a good number of strangers think she's behaving badly too (or maybe don't if you want to stop fighting!).

@Delilah7 did you tell your sister? If so then she should defo have been asking after you before now. Or at least I would if I had a sister in your boat.
On a bum note... I still can't decide what's happening with me and AF... she's not fully here but this spotting is more red than yesterday but still not like she's fully here... and I NEVER get this!! AF is always either in full swing or just nothing at all! This is so frustrating and it's getting me all emotional.

Hiya, joining in! Tentatively started trying this cycle, but I hadn't been charting and was only returning from a trip the day I probably ovulated so knew the chances were slim. Period started today! Will be charting / temping properly from now on, and I think we'll be having a dirty weekend away just before I ovulate, so that'll be extra fun ;-) Anyway, there's a bit of TMI to brighten your day!

Day 8po today...can anyone else see anything or is it just me?! I know it's so early and these tests are rather unreliable but with my short cycles i think I'm only 4 days until AF should be here x

@Makingbabies I do have a habit of waking up early (like 5am) sometimes but this week I've been knackered by 9pm which isn't usual!

@Delilah7 thanks lovely. I really hope things turn round for you soon! I’m really rooting for you. 🤞

I know I’m awful for SS and I’ve read in so many places that it’s highly unlikely to get symptoms this early on anyway but I still over analyse every slight twinge. 🙈

Thanks @CookieWaffle FX for you! Are you normally a good sleeper? When are you due to test? (Sorry if you’ve already said but this thread is super long and it’s hard to keep up).

Hey @Makingbabies! 13dpo here, good luck tomorrow! xx

@KVS14 oh no, luckily I haven't found that with chocolate yet. I hope that doesn't happen!

I passed out at 8pm last night only to be wide awake at 2am. Something weird is going on!

Hi girls! Hope you don’t mind if I join?
This is officially cycle one but unofficially cycle 4. I came off the pill last October and I’ve only seen AF 3 times since then.
She seems to have settled back down into a normal routine now. Myself and DP have been to Dr for all the checks and no problems there so it’s just the torturous waiting game now.
I’m 11 DPO and will be testing tomorrow on a FRER. I just needed some moral support as we’ve really tried this month and I think I’ve already got my hoes up too high. I’m the symptom spotting queen so I know I’m bound to be dissapoInted tomorrow.
Good luck and baby dust to you all! This is such a horrendous process!
Congratulations to all of you with BFP too! 💖

Erm about 7/8 years with a few gaps in-between I think.. or maybe even longer than that! @KVS14
