TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

I really can't @shelly10. Freaking out a bit. I never imagined it would happen so fast though I realise we're very lucky.

Yeah @ValidUser, I'm guessing the FRER's don't stand much of a chance at 8dpo. Sorry your feeling sick, but I'm hoping it's a good sign for you 🤞🍀

@BambiOnIce80 8dpo. Negative test as expected. But I'm feeling really sick, so even though it may be psychological, I'm hopeful.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh @CrystalBlaze Congratulations!!!! That's great news! I bet you can't believe it?!

Congratulations @CrystalBlaze!! 🎉💐❤️ I think I'm going to bin my FRER's 😂

@RanchoRelaxo, who knows?! This could very well be your month 🤞

Oh my god.

Morning everyone!

CookieWaffle I am gutted for you, I love an action plan too, hope you are okay X
CrystalBlaze keeping my fingers crossed!

I am 1dpo (I think) and I'm off out out today 😃 DH was out last night till late so we didn't have sex on ov day, we did early this morning tho so am hoping we've done it (plus doing it every day for the rest of last week)
I know it's daft and I'm probably setting myself up for a fall, but me and DH always seem to have big life events happen in may.. so in my head it hadn't worked the last 6 months because it is supposed to happen this month, for a may baby.. slap me now girls I am obviously going crazy 😂😂

So sorry that you're having to go through this @CookieWaffle 😔 It's great you've got the support you need around you ❤️

Keeping everything crossed for you that AF stays away @CrystalBlaze 🤞

How's everyone else this morning? Any updates @RanchoRelaxo @ChaosMoon @TakingtheLeap @purplestar9 @Delilah7?

I'm desperate to know if the syringing has done the job @ValidUser! Anything to report?

I had a long chat and a cry with mum and I have my lovely DP who brought me a huge bag of treats from tesco so I'm all sorted thank you :) xx

Oh lovely that's understandable Have you got plenty of support around you?

@CrystalBlaze I'm a bit broken, feeling every emotion under the sun, but nevermind ;) it's the weekend at least! Reading anything I can find about why CPs are a positive thing. I'm loving this site i found right now, not just this page particularly www.thebump.com/a/chemical-pregnancy

I also tried the OPK tests, but did a bit of reading around and your LH levels can vary through the cycle and can surge near AF so it's not the best indicator, although some have definitely seen a positive around their positive pregnancy test. Don't give up hope yet but don't trust them :)

Morning @Cookie! How are you feeling?

Welllll....Af was due yesterday and so far hasn't showed. Boobs are sore. But had too bfns already this week so trying to hold off till tomorrow.

I used an OPK to POAS this morning and got a faint line. Can't work out if this means anything or not though!

Morning ladies, I need an update. how we all doing?

@ValidUser @CrystalBlaze a sniff of anything yet?

Trust me @Delilah7, I'm sure you won't be the only one ringing them 2 days in a row. If they can answer your question about whether this is normal after MC or whether you need to see a doc, I'm sure they will.x

So sorry you're feeling this way @Delilah7 😔 Would it be worth giving the Tommy's midwives a ring for some advice if your GP surgery isn't being helpful?x

Here's that link about how long your cycle is, what your luteal phase is and how accurate a FRER would be:

www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/lutealphase

@CookieWaffle, I can only imagine the level of not OK you are right now 😔 You sound like me with your action plan - I love a good action plan 😍 Helps me cope with difficult things; hope for the best but plan for the worst is one of my favourite sayings. I've already got mine lined up for cycle 5 if/when AF rocks up next weekend!

Fingers-crossed @CrystalBlaze that AF stays away and maybe you got a false BFN yesterday 🤞 I was reading an article yesterday about the accuracy of FRER's and it's basically hypervariable about when they are accurate because it totally depends on your cycle length and how long your luteal phase is. It ended up basically saying don't bother putting yourself through the heartache of getting a false BFN and wait until AF is at least a day late before POAS. I'll see if I can find the link again and post it 👍

@Delilah7 it sounds like it's really hard to judge your cycle this time with what you've been through 😔 Try and kick SSP to the curb and come up with your action plan for next month so that if AF does arrive, you've got your eye on the prize for next cycle 😉

@ChaosMoon we absolutely should! 😂 I wonder who you get an abbreviation on there 🤔 Maybe we just have to use it enough so that they have to 😁

I'm glad you have a plan @CookieWaffle, and that you're taking some time for yourself today. I hope you have something to focus on to keep from driving yourself crazy with it all though.

I like SSP @BambiOnIce80. 😂 Can we get MN to add it to the acronym list?

Big hugs for everyone in the 2ww and dressing AF.

@Cookie sending love to you.

@Bambi I had bfn yesterday at 11dpo so starting to lose hope a bit. AF due today so we'll see.

Hope everyone else is okay.

Hey @BambiOnIce80, I'm not really ok, gonna take today off work to chill. DP and i had a long talk yesterday and we've got an action plan (I love a good action plan) about things we need to do, TTC related and not. Gives us a bit of focus.

I think you need to find some distractions this week to combat SSP Netflix is good!

I'm very glad it's Friday @Delilah7! 5dpo today, so I know my inner symptom spotting psycho is very ready to come out and drive me crazy 🤪 It's starting already! 😞 Tiny little weird tightening in my lower abdomen this morning and inner symptom spotting psycho (let's just call her SSP 😉) is like "ooooh, maybe..." No! Stop it! I'm not ready for a week of driving myself nuts 😒
