TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

@CookieWaffle I do keep trying to tell DH that, but as he has MS he had to have his swimmers tested a few years ago, and apparently he's got strong ones... don't know if that makes me feel better or not knowing that this is month 4!!
It's been every other day pretty much so we're not that bad. 🙈

@CookieWaffle I know it's hard, but try and keep SSP out of your head 😔 7 more days and you'll know for sure 🤞🍀🤞🍀

Thank you ladies.
Baby squid I honestly had my hopes up this month. Everything was different. On the plus side I now have made it through my first month of Clomid, I'll be more relaxed this time as I know what to expect. Dh all ready planning naughty hotel stays so it can't be bad! 🙈😂xxx

@BabySquid temps are looking good. That's a lot of BDing! Make sure you give the sperm time to regrow!

7dpo here too, failing again on not getting worked up and feeling a bit emotional today. Certainly not feeling like anything's happening this month but then I felt that at the same time the previous 2 months... Just feeling like my eggs are getting too old for this

Wow @BabySquid seriously impressed with your BDing on your chart! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@BabySquid I'm going to wait now until Monday

It will literally be TFI Friday for us this weekend @cupcakesandglitter!😂 How many days are your cycles on average? I'm a 28 dayer, but from the OPK's I know that I ov on either CD 15 or 16. The fertility tracker apps just stick a pin in the middle of your cycle and say that's when you ovulate, but in reality you could ov earlier or later. So. Don't stress 🙂 You're still in your window and are far from out.x

I think my temp chart is looking pretty good... missed a few days but still...

@Crossfitgirl you can do this... be strong and hold out.

@babysquid it's nerve wracking thinking about getting a false negative isn't it. fingers crossed anyway though. you'll have to like, dehydrate yourself and wait as long as possible to wee when you get up so that your pee is super-concentrated!! lol!

I'm pretty certain AF is on the way, as I've started to get the teeeenyest bit of spotting today, and last month I had 3 days of spotting before AF arrived.
Still got unusually achey boobs though which I've never had, I'm sure nature is doing this to be cruel and confuse me :(

I nearly tested this morning but held back, 7dpo is pretty much zero chance of being accurate!

@cupcakesandglitter I'm testing Saturday morning. Bit scared tbh I really don't want a false reading as I'm not due till Monday.
However I've been given antibiotics from my dentist so asked her if they're safe to take if I am pregnant and she said best not to, which is one reason I'm testing early, and also coz I'm going to a wedding so want to know if I can drink or not. (However I won't be on these bloody tabs anyway!)

Ooh @BambiOnIce80 I'm CD14!! Yeah I think it's super important not to stress out, easier said than done, but I think it's so easy to forget that it's sex rather than thinking of it as BD 😂 at least you have your rest tonight, and then are ready to go tomorrow 😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter I'm CD13 today, so well and truly in my fertile window like you. Discussed the game plan with DP and he's up for every other night going into next week (starting yesterday, so at least we've got one in the bag 😉) , and any other time he's feeling particularly up for it 👍 The main thing we're trying to avoid is getting stressed about it and causing performance issues for him and unnecessary tears of frustration for me!

@shelleybear0313 ah sorry :( onto the next month!! Onwards and upwards like you said x

@BabySquid how long until you test? X

I didn't get a chance to DTD with DH last night and won't get to today either - according to Flo I ovulated yesterday so I'm a little upset that we've missed it. Still torn between whether we DTD every other day or just relax and DTD when we feel like it 😩

@shelleybear0313 so sorry lovely I had my hopes up for you.
I'm feeling impatient this week. I never usually do I'm quite easy going. Go with the flow and all that but it's starting to get to me now. I think it's coz I feel differently this month so I'm convinced this is our month.
Can't even drown my sorrows if I'm not, sodding dental antibiotics!!

Mrsr16 in the same boat this morning, af has begun to show her face, not properly yet but I'm sure it will by the end of the day. Actually quite sad, tried really hard this month. Onwards and upwards I suppose. How are all you lovely ladies this morning? Xxx

Morning all! Thanks for making me feel less crazy :) Got my first flashing smiley face this morning. Was about to go 'get on it' then my cat threw up so that kind of put us off! Hopefully tonight though :) DH words... 'Yay you're eggy!'
We're almost at the weekend ladies. Hope you all have some good stuff planned? X

@babysquid although my AF is due sat, I don't know whether to hold out til sunday, as I'll only be 9dpo. At least then I'll be "late".
Plus if its a bfn I won't be depressed all the way to kos. I kinda wanna test now though!

@mrsof20118 it depends on your average cycle length - there is a leaflet inside the box which gives you a guide of when to start testing.

@Delilah7 I think we're about on a very similar cycle this month.

If I were to start doing the clear blue ovulation tests when is the best time to start?

So how many of us are testing on Saturday???
🙋🏼‍♀️
@Crossfitgirl
@Patapouf
@gjchapman

I hope we get all 4 BFP's🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@gjchapman def a sign to wait! That happened to me the one cycle I tested. I was gutted! Used a really old test lol. Come on weekend hurry up!
