TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

Waahhh AF is here 2 days early!! 24 day cycle, OV was cd18, only 7 day luteal phase this time...!!
Even if my egg met sperm how can it even have long enough to implant properly???

😥😥😥

I'm starting to think I should go to the docs

At least I can drown my sorrows in cocktails when we go on holiday on sat 😭🍸🍹

@stormtrooperjulian its a very addictive site so be warned!

Thanks for sharing that link @CookieWaffle that site looks really interesting!
I only tested today cos I’m away with family now for a long weekend and I wanted to know whether I should avoid the red wine 🍷 🍷

Ahaha I love a good dingbats game!

@stormtrooperjulian not necessarily. I wouldn't usually (in my measly 5 months of trying) test before 12dpo. Here's a good link for you:

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=11

1 in 5 pregnant women who tested got a negative at 11 dpo.

Bfn on a frer this morning at 11dpo so I guess that’s me out for this cycle? Not sure when I’m due af as this is my first proper hormonal contraceptive free cycle since I was 15 😂😂

Oooh, it's just like dingbats @CookieWaffle! 😍

🦌❄️☃️💥

(@BambiOnIce80 this was the best I could do)

@CookieWaffle I whole-heartedly appreciate the reciprocation of the emoji overuse 💖😍 I am soooo bad at overuse 🙄 You should see the state of my WhatsApp chats with DP 😬 My inner SSP definitely does the "Hah! Made you look!" thing far too often... she's usually slurring that sentence though 🍸😉

@Crossfitgirl, it is indeed all of our inner symptom spotting psycho's that get unleashed in the TWW. We coined it on our little old thread - it nicely sums up how normal, chilled, professional, logical women totally lose our 🤬ing minds with noticing every single 🤬ing twinge or taste or smell and turn it into a pregnancy symptom in the TWW! We were wondering if we used it enough if it'd get included in the mumsnet abbreviations list 🤔😉

@BambiOnIce80 I'm trying, thankyou ❤️ I think I'm going to not 'ask' or remind DH about DTD, and just let it happen when it does for this cycle.

Oh @Crossfitgirl :( onto the next cycle!! I agree, stupid stupid boobs 😂

@babysquid that has just made my day!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Crossfitgirl she's the inner Symptom Spotting Psycho 😂

@cupcakesandglitter that's pretty much exactly how mine have been! Every day since ovulation. I had a glimmer of hope after my meltdown when DH kept turning down sex in my fertile week, and it was just my body being MEAN and tricking me into thinking there was still a chance!
Stupid boobs.

I may be asking a stupid question here but what is SSP?
Euh spotting is getting darker. It's AF. I know it.
😭😭😭

@BambiOnIce80 🤣 I'm actually quite jealous of that goblin for the first 2 weeks 🍾😴. Mines definitely an old lady with a stick who stands there watching me until I randomly get poked in the ovaries as she shouts "Hah! Made you look!". 💥➖🤛👵

(I tried to be on your level with the emojis there!)

Life does have a way of messing with our best laid plans, doesn't it @cupcakesandglitter?! Please try not to beat yourself up about it though. The pressure won't help.x

Thank you so much ladies, having somewhere to vent makes it all easier to bare! R16 this has to be our month. Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all. Be lovely to see some bfp! 💖💖💖

@BambiOnIce80 that was DH's plan!! We've been super busy 😩 I'm going to try and make a proper go of it xx

@cupcakesandglitter, it sounds like you'd benefit from SMEP (if you've got the stamina! I certainly don't! 😂) or trying to DTD every other or couple of days. Less chance of missing the fw, wherever it may be hiding! Don't beat yourself up about missing CD14 when that might not be when you ovulated.

@CookieWaffle 😂🤣😂🤣 I personally picture my inner SSP as a wizened little goblin, possibly green in colour, sleeping on a pile of rags at the back of my mind, snoring and clutching a half-full bottle of JD for the two weeks after AF starts. Then, just as my progesterone levels start picking up in my luteal phase, the first sniff of the tiniest hint of boob tenderness wakes her from her slumber and then the crazy really kicks in!! 🤪

@shelleybear0313 maybe next month will be our month 😁

@BabySquid you've been all over it! 🤣 love it!

@Crossfitgirl my boobs are sore today too, I've logged it in flo and I've attached it below to show you last cycle - i usually get a couple of days but last cycle they were hurting every day!! Sorry if it doesn't help but I swear our bodies do it on purpose! X

@BabySquid I suppose a few days isn't too bad, Saturday will come so quick too!! Fx - and well done on that BDing!! xx

@Crossfitgirl you're not out until AF! Xx

@BambiOnIce80 mine were between 30-33 days but this month it messed up and was 23 :( But I'm hoping now this cycle goes back to normal and it was just a blip! It doesn't help that I don't get positive OPKs either, I have no idea when I ov 😂 x

Ooh @shelleybear0313 lucky girl ;) make the most of it!! Xx

I've uploaded my BBT chart so far too - it looks like it's all over the place 😩

@BabySquid Ahh thats good to know then! :)

@BambiOnIce80 Thanks m'dear, it's like SSP is AF's older and more evil sister, who smells of cabbage.
