TTC first baby... mega thread!

Ah I'm sorry @Delilah7 that sounds rough. Are they all aware what you've been through or not?

@Flapjackered I blame myself for that one Bad influence but also it wasn't fmu so you should do another one tomorrow

@Chaos sorry you're feeling crap! In what way are you suffering?

@cupcakesandglitter me too. Feeling deflated. Went round OHs families and the baby talk started. Got home and cried :(

@CrystalBlaze if I'm honest no idea it's either 12th 13th or 14th. 😂😂😂 flo has changed a few times since I've added a few things.

@FlapJackered no cramps at all :( feeling ok. But up and down.

@ttcat32 thank you so much. Really means a lot xxx

@purplestar9 I'm ok how are you? Xxx

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting though I’ve read through lots of your posts today!!
Thought I’d say hi 👋🏼 And introduce myself;
I’m 30
TTC #1
Off the pill for 13 months
Cycle 1 trying this time (tried 4 cycles last year)
Cycle day 18
2 days P.O.
DH and I are back on trying after a break because last year the stress all got a bit much. It’s been so uplifting reading all your lovely posts and seeing all your BFP and happy news and join in with my TWW to keep sane!!! Xx

@MrsReader congratulations! Loving this positive thread today!!

Welcome @babyxbee @Stormcloud0313 and @jq28 hope you're all well!

@FlapJackered I've heard of many people not getting their BFPs till a week after AF was due so you're definitely not out yet!

@Delilah7 not caught up with you for a while, how are you?

@ttcat32 thank you! The cramps have stopped now and no sign of AF so there's still hope! I'm 12DPO, so not long left for me to wait now!!

No don't leave us! We want to hear all about your journey!

I'm sorry I've not caught up with everyone, been at my sisters all day (felt her baby kick for the first time too which was cool! She's only got 6 weeks to go!) will catch up with everyone properly later! Hope everyone is good!

In fact scrap that last comment - pretty sure it's an evap. I think it's grey.
Omg I am like a crazy lady! Need to reign it in and find another hobby other than poas 😂😂😂

Oh god, I went and stupidly did a test now with a B&M cheapy and there is the faintest of faintest lines 🙈 but the test flooded a bit so may well be an evap line.
How do I tell if it is or not?
I tried to take a picture but it's not focusing well enough to see it.
Gahhh I should have waited until tomorrow!! Now I keep on staring at it! 😂🙈

Oh wow! Massive congratulations @ttcat32 and @MrsReader! 🎉🌹 What a lucky bank holiday this is turning out to be!

@MrsReader how's your DH now the news has had some time to sink in?

I'm glad everything's going smoothly and no nausea so far @CrystalBlaze I have everything crossed that it stays that way. I feel like a big ball of rubbish but hey ho. 😊

@CrystalBlaze @gjchapman thanks for the info hoping it doesn't take too long to kick in but would also like it not to come next week as going on holiday
Can't have it all ey!
Good luck to all and congrats to the BFPs!

Thanks so much everyone, just took a FRER and I'm deffo pregnant 🙌🏻

I'm gonna stick around too, I feel so invested in you ladies now and want to see all your BFPs when they come!

@Flapjackered I'm only 5+2. Time is going so bloody slowly. Think we are going to tell our parents next week. It's still early but I'm not sure I can keep it to ourselves any longer!

@CrystalBlaze Thanks love! fingers crossed you're right!
That's so lovely of your DH! How many weeks are you now?

@Flapjackered I have a good feeling about it

I had sore boobs too. But it was actually on and off in the first couple of weeks so I veered between thinking 'maybe...' to 'definitely not'. Keeping everything crossed for you!

@CrystalBlaze really? Oh god I am going to start hoping again now! Will test again tomorrow if temp is still up.
I am not really that crampy but sore boobs and a bit nauseous. Who knows!? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ttcat it's so exciting! What's your due date do you think?

DEFINITELY don't go @ttcat32 we love you and want to hear all about your pregnancy journey. We are all sticking together now!

@Flapjackered you are definitely not out till AF shows my love. I have just looked at my app and I didn't get a bfp till 13dpo. And had bfns before that. Not even a hint of a line.

How are you feeling in yourself?

All good here. I feel very well and DP keeps telling me I look radiant, bless him. Waiting for that all to be obliterated when I start feeling crap in the next couple of weeks though.

@purplestar9 I had a lot of cramping Friday afternoon/ evening would have definitely thought I was out but @ChaosMoon said she had the same! Keep the faith it could've a good sign! 🤞

@RanchoRelaxo @FlapJackered still plenty of time for those bfp to appear, I thought by this time mines would be much stronger but 🤷‍♀️
🤞🤞🤞

@Delilah7 hope you enjoyed your meal out hun, glad to hear you have kept your hat on 😂😉 you are doing amazingly well being so positive!

@MrsReader congratulations!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 this is turning out to be a lucky thread!! Has it sunk in yet? 😂

Welcome to all the new people!

Thank you to everyone who has messaged, still shocked and now realised I don't have the first clue as to what to do next so ran out and bought a book 🤷‍♀️

Genuinely can't thank you all enough, the support on here is unbelievable. Please don't make me leave! Would love to stay and follow everyone's journey xx

💕✨💕✨💕

Just reread that and realised how overly obsessed I am 😂 🙈

@CrystalBlaze - hi lovely! I am 12dpo which is normally AF day but no show so far. Got a definite bfn yesterday (boo hiss!) so think I am out. A temp rise this morning though has given me a glimmer of hope as I normally get a dip below cover line on 12dpo. I have once got af on 13dpo though so maybe just AF playing silly buggers with me! Acht who knows!
How are you feeling??! How's it all going?

Congratulations @MrsReader!

@MrsC87 I can give you a summary of what I have been given if you like? There is a lot of info on where you can get nutrients etc from that are needed. I’m not being super strict but have tried to make sure I’m getting my 5 a day taking folic acid and cut out sugar and reduced my caffeine intake

Congratulations @ttcat32!

@jq28 I was on a similar one to you. I came off December and have ovulated the last 4 months that I can tell. My periods came back quiet quick but my body took a while to work properly. Good luck

@Flapjackered what's your latest?

Cycle 8! 6 days past AF (not great with the short lingo!) ovulate between now and the next three days! Trying every other day this time! Crossing everything! DH is starting to feel unwell so hoping I can get at least two more times out of him! (Is that mean!!)
