TTC first baby... mega thread!

@CrystalBlaze thanks Hun. 😘

@ttcat32 it'll be so nice won't it. I root for everyone on here I so wish we could all meet up it would be lovely!!

@purplestar9 that's not me trying to make you worry or anything darling either it's just me trying to make sure you have that support! Oh god 😂😂😂. You're in for a fun 9 months now hun!! Hahaha xxx

@ttcat32 @MrsR16 thanks guys! I'm so glad I waited till AF was late to test, made sure that line was visible!

@Delilah7 yes very good plan. DH's family live 60 miles away whereas mine are only about 4-5 miles so it's definitely them that need to know, just in case anything happens I need someone around me who can help.

I told DH that when I'm pregnant he can have a new xbox... he's just remembered haha! 😂

@purplestar9 massive congratulations! That's awesome news!

OMG @purplestar9!!!!! Congratulations sweetheart! Absolutely delighted for you and 2-3 already! So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️ I had a feeling that it would be when you said you were having the strange cramps!

@Delilah7 glad you are going to see the gp, if anything it will put your mind at rest a bit. On your last comment, I can't wait till the day you tell us! That's the lovely thing about this group everyone genuinely roots for each other even when the are having a difficult time themselves 💕

@Crossfitgirl sorry you had such a shit day yesterday, hope you are feeling a bit better now. If all else fails set your alarm then minutes earlier in the morning and "snuggle" in a bit, take advantage of what nature provides 😂😉

Very good advice @Delilah7 xx

Caved and used the pregnancy test I've brought on holiday as it's cd36 and 12 days PO - totally BFN not even a hint of a line! So this is looking like a 40 day cycle 😭

@CrystalBlaze @purplestar9 I agree. Very hard not to tell everyone. All I'd say is the tell the people you trust the most to be there, xx

@purplestar9 So delighted for ye! Congratulations!

@daisies that's really cute. My DP loves feeling loved too

@purplestar9 I was desperate to tell people when we found out. Have only told a couple but planning on telling DP's parents when we see them next.

@daisiesandpeonies you crack me up 😂

@bettyhop definitely speak to your gp even just to put your mind at rest.

@purplestar big congrats to you

AF finally arrived for me today first since stopping bc so least I can start tracking and hopefully have some idea of where my cycle is.

@Crossfitgirl I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time with DH and getting enough baby making in. It's a problem really close to home for me and we've only had a couple
of months where I've felt positive about it. All I can say is regular sex is a habit - once we got into it, it became easier, but there were so many tears beforehand. I also had to explain how the monthly cycle actually works several times to my husband before he accepted it - that there is a golden window and if you miss it then it's game over that month. Also in the blur of TTC when we are only thinking about one thing we can get a bit short sighted with our DH - is he stressed? Bad week? Does he need support? They're not always very forthcoming in saying how they feel. A nice cooked dinner and night of hugs/tellling him how great he is and how much you love him/keeping him company whilst letting him watch what he wants to watch on TV could help? I find that when I do this my husband could well initiate the same night or next day as he feels more loved ❤️❤️❤️ They're soppier than we give them credit for 😂 I try to be more loving towards him from a few days before ovulation is on the horizon... Not that that's all I'm thinking of or anything 😂😂😂👶👶👶

@CookieWaffle I know, I couldn't believe it, it showed up before the control line and stayed darker! DH has been so cute, I had no idea how he would react when it happened!

Hi

My stats
TTC #1
Cycle 1

Very new to this. Took my last pill 8th August. Had breakthrough bleed 10th till 15th.

I've got a history of gynae issues (fibroids and ovarian cysts. So not expecting this to be easy. Anyone else suffered with anything similar?

@shelly10 agree. Cmon let's get more BFPs!!!! 😍 I'm not gonna lie it's going to be seriously exciting telling all your ladies again whenever I am. You've been such a big part of my journey xxx

Thanks everyone! Think the nerves have started kicking in a bit!
@BabySquid yeh, there are a select few people we will tell early but not many. My mum will be one of them, she knows we were trying so she'll probably figure it out anyway!

@Crossfitgirl you know how we were pretty much cycle buddies? I've been using CB OPKs and still no smiley yet! So annoying!!!!!!!!! Looks like POAS will be a daily event for now at least. Also, really sorry to hear you were having a bit of a shitty time.

Ladies- keeping fingers crossed for this thread to just get luckier and luckier!!! Xx

Great news @purplestar9 that's so exciting!!!! Congratulations!!!! 💫💫💫

@purplestar9 wow that's amazing news. I bet you're completely overjoyed 😁
I must say I agree with your DH, keep it to yourself for now even though you probs wanna shout it from the rooftops!! 🎉🤰🏼🎁

@purplestar9 just want to up my chances after what happened I guess. I'm gonna stress myself out 😂

LADIES THIS IS A LUCKY THREAD. 😍😍😍 look how many BFPS we have already

OMG @purplestar9 that's a fantastic line you got there! Congratulations!!! xxx

That's lovely news to start the day with! Congratulations @purplestar9! 🎉💐🎊

Thank you @FlapJackered 😃 we're so happy!

@CrystalBlaze thank you!
@Delilah7 if you know it works why change it :)
@Lougg I know! Not much to be honest, I felt strangely normal. AF was due yesterday so was a day late, some minor cramps over the last few days, backache and muscle tenderness (I didn't think it was related to pregnancy but apparently so!)
@Crossfitgirl I will :) it hasn't sunk in yet... it may take a while! Got DH's mum visiting later but he doesn't want to tell her yet!
