TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

Reposting from other thread again... damn you guys move fast!

I've had a slight breakthrough after my setback last week- my GP has spoken to an endocrinologist and decided to start me on thyroxine now instead of waiting for my next blood test, so hopefully when I get tested again in 4 weeks time I'll have the green light to get cracking. Fingers crossed! Feeling much more hopeful now!

Hey ladies
I just came across this thread so thought I’d chime in- not familiar with all the terms!
I wasn’t especially Ttc but I was less than careful with my pill the last few months and missed a good few including 4 in last cycle off the pill entirely almost 4 weeks. Cycle is usually like clockwork.
AF is 16 days late done 4 tests in last 10 days and all neg so very confused
Some symptoms like sore legs hives and a lot of cramping?
Don’t know what to think. My OH is a twin and his twin brother has twins so wondering could it be the hook effect?
Have a gp apt tomorrow and not sure if it’s silly going and no idea what to expect!
Any advice or thoughts most welcome!

@mrskbabymama I have all of that too look forward to! Recently engaged after 11 years together but decided to try for a baby first. Felt like the saving and stress would just end up being another reason to delay ttc. Also we both have 6 siblings each and 12 niece's and nephews between us so we'd be saving forever for a wedding 😂 I don't think my ovaries will last that long!

Hi Ladies,
Can I please join in

TTC: no 1
Cycle: 8
Age: 28
Had chemical pregnancy last month, really hoping for positive result this month.
Long cycles from 30-46 days, but 34 is average, AF due on the 12th September

@Ranchorelaxo I agree I’d always wonder what If...

Normally 28/29 days cupcakes .. short luteal phase which I am trying to work on!

@RanchoRelaxo you're right, you can't Not try this month, just in case! I have 4 weddings next year, and if this is my month, I'd be due right around one of the major ones, not to mention the same time as my best mates hen do and I'm her MoH... but we can't put our lives on hold. Not when it's for something this big a deal. They'll be more than happy for us. Xx

ValidUser are you going for the 'traditional' method this month or using the good ol' syringe way?

Haha always enjoy catching up on this thread glad to see the positivity. Had brown/pink spotting or cm it’s just there when I wipe since yesterday afternoon so I expected AF to start but still not here. Not normal for me so I’m not sure what to think anymore....

Oh god @RanchoRelaxo 😅 I get what you mean - but you're exactly right! If you put it off, you'd regret not trying this month and always have that "what if" niggle in your head. Do what's best for you 😊 how long are your cycles, if you're ov at CD20? Xx

Haha cupcakesandglitter love it!
I am good! Cd9, I have still got some sticks left for my clear blue ovulation tracker and I've ordered some cheapy opks from amazon too :) will start using them as soon as they arrive I normally ov around cd20 do a while to go yet!
Am feeling a bit guilty this month, if we do succeed my due date will be slap bang right around the same time my best mate gets married and I'm a bridesmaid. I can't not try this month.. what if this is my month and I miss it! Ahh 😩🤯

@Delilah7 of course!

I don't need to be a milf, but plan to be healthy for pushing a human out of my foo!

Oh definitely @Delilah7 !! As long as we love ourselves (and our DPs love us) that's the main thing!

@mrskbabymama honestly it's the best feeling ever after the wedding, realising that you never EVER have to go through it again 😂

Hey @RanchoRelaxo not a fat lot - lots of us ready for cowgirling again this month! Oh and talking about becoming MILFs how are you? Xx

Mrskbabymama, hearing you with seating plans! We didn't have one in the end! On the day we pointed to the tables and said 'sit wherever' !! Ours was more buffet style, so could get away with it. But don't let people ruin the excited feeling! It'll all be awesome on the day :)
All this chat about Milfs! Making me chuckle!

@mrskbabymama I got married a couple of months ago, and I was kinda relieved once it was over cos then I didn’t have to worry about organising it any more!

Thanks ladies.

Currently at the point where if one more person mentions a seating plan am for cancelling the whole thing haha wedding stress is real 😂

Do like this idea of eventually becoming a MILF though.... *sighs while currently eating chocolate watching Masterchef

Hi guys Ive had a lovely break from being so obsessive but I'm back now! 😂 how's everyone doing? The thread is so massive i can't catch up properly, have I missed any gossip? Anything exciting? Missed you all! X

I second a meet up!!! Please can we arrange this would be so nice to put names to faces x

@MrsR16 it's so hard being patient isn't it 😂 I'd hold out until CD30 if possible!! Fx xx

Well we stuck to it until life got in the way on one day (gutted that was ovulation day 😩) & although it is hard going I actually felt like I was doing as much as poss to become pregnant, you'll be fine girls👍🏻 @Delilah7 @sunshine1987

@cupcakesandglitter well, I've had 2 BFNs (one on Saturday morning and one yesterday evening) but if this is IB, then I'll have to leave it a few days! As @Delilah7 suggested, I might have to leave it till CD30 to test again, just to make sure! Goodness knows what my body's currently doing! Hehe 🤣

@mrsc87 I don’t know why I’m putting myself through it again this month 🙈
