TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

@delilah7 I agree, it's getting darker, I reckon your positive is on the way later today or tonight. Maybe even tomorrow?
@lougg soak it in vanish if you have some. I find it works a treat. Or soak it for a little bit in normal bio and give it a bit of a scrub before you wash it.
@validuser I have a book on low carbs, haven't read it yet but keep meaning to, it's called something like "Why we get fat" I am gonna try cut down on bread and pasta at least anyway.
Meh I hate the spottingness, it's like AF just teasing you isn't it?
Good luck for BFP or wine day anyway. I've had so many cocktails this holiday I could be an alcoholic!
@sunshine1987 I'm intrigued!! Haha

My husband came back drunk last night so no Baby dancing for us, he’s out for the count this morning. Kind of missed the window now this month which is annoying. I feel so angry at him which is bad I know & I shouldn’t. I’m worrying myself that I’m taking the fun away from it all

Like @sunshine1987 says, if it's darker later then log it as positive then. If it isn't and it's lighter (because the surge can come and go really quickly), then I'd still log it as positive on the assumption that you've just missed the peak of your surge. Either way, I'd get DTD today and Monday as a minimum lovely and cover your bases (I hear you on the lack of vagina cooperation for overuse 😂).

Remember we've seen loads of lovely ladies on here that have never seen a 'true positive' OPK who are now preggers. So get DingTD and covering those bases! You are in fertile week!x

@delilah7 I wouldn’t log it just yet. Would wait and test again later, I think you’ll get a much darker positive later. I think that’s just slightly negative, a bit like my one at 2pm yesterday then my positive at 4pm. I’m so excited for you!!!!

@Delilah7, between the OPK's going in the right direction and your ov pains I think you know you're ovulating withinin the next 24 hours, right?! Remember the LH surge happens 24 to 36 hours before ovulation, so with your ov pains I'd just get on it for the next 3 days if I were you (better to cover all your bases 😉). It's your DP's lucky weekend 😄

Congrats for the BFP's ladies and on the house @CookieWaffle! 🎉🏡💐

@Crossfitgirl apparently keto is good for progesterone levels and luteal phase, so might at least stay low carb. Sweets are my downfall too. And take away.

Negative FRER this morning at 10 dpo, and spotting, so I think I'm out.

Still not convinced enough to have wine, though! CD1 will be my wine day, and then on to my health plan!

@delilah7 that second photo you’ve uploaded is so good, I definetely think try again at 2 and you’ll get your positive! Then jump on your man 😉

@delilah7 I would test again this afternoon, I reckon you’re so very nearly there!!! They’re definetely getting darker!

Yeah you’ve gotta laugh, otherwise it becomes too serious lol. Will jump on him again tonight and tomorrow, then see what happens in 2 weeks time lol 🙈

@delilah7 fingers crossed lovely, we need to get you back to feeling empowered with it all again!

Tried to do the whole sexy thang last night after my positive, we were both tipsy and it did not work well lol, not even going to bother counting it as sex lol 🙈

@flapjackered argh that’s so frustrating 😔 that’s the only thing with temping that it adds another level of wtf
@delilah7 just seen your OPK from yesterday, would keep going with them chick. Could be everything has thrown your cycles out xx

So confused! FF is saying I ovulated back on cd16 but that was before (what I thought was) a positive IC opk. Also I had creamy CM. I just don't want them to take my blood next week and say I am not ovulating when it's just a weird month and I am ovulating later.

Arg!! What is going on?! Temp rise to 36.59 but no static smiley (still flashing 🙄) and now negative opk this morning.
So confused as to whether I have ovulated or not?!

@Delilah7 have you done one this morning?

Congratulations @Bettyhop & @Hopefull1981 so exciting for you!!

Thanks for all the congratulations guys. Moving day went swimmingly. I'm now away with all my family.

AF has arrived in full force. In fact in such force there is a spot on the fresh white sheets 😳. Any tips on getting it out? We're staying in a rental cottage.

@validuser we are both going on a health kick after hols too, we fly back tonight.
My downfall is always sweet stuff. Are you just gonna eat better or doing any specific kind of diet?
I can't wait to go back to the gym when I get home.
I've not been for about a month now which is unheard of for me!

Sorry @delilah7 got too caught up in sex talk! 😂 mine only get lines like yours in the few days up to ov. Totally blank the rest of the month. Just keep testing til it's positive. Mine varied in darkness too, I guess depending on how much I drink as I'm rubbish at holding it when I need to pee but can't not drink water!

You never know, you might ov later than you think, and ov can also vary depending on the cycle. Are you doing SMEP?

We've managed to DTD twice since weds so I'm quite pleased- gonna try keep up every 2-3 days now til ov for me! Maybe more in the fertile week. A relaxed version of SMEP!

@flapjackered I'm not normally that confident, it does still take me a little while to psych myself up, but the thought of having a baby has made me think more "fuck it, just go for it" :-)

Have a lovely morning 😉
