TTC First Baby Massive Thread.

@CookieWaffle ooh that's exciting!! You'll be in your nice new home in time for your first Christmas there 💕 this will be our first Christmas in ours too I'm planning on going a bit OTT

Sorry @KatBeCool xx

So I did an OPK this morning with FMU and it wasn't as dark as the two yesterday but definitely darker than normal. May do some testing throughout the day? I did try a HPT but it's a cheap Poundland one. I could see a line where the line should've been but ever so faintly and there was no colour so I think it was an indentation line 🤷🏻‍♀️ considering going to boots to buy a FRER but then unsure if id be able to use it today or wait for FMU tomorrow? X

@KatBeCool if that is Af I am sorry lovely.

@Crossfitgirl that is frustrating with the flashing smiley. Are you still taking your bbt? Just keep an eye out for a rise just in case, as I never got my static this month but definitely ov'd as I got my rise in temp.
Hopefully it will go up and your timing was good.

@CrystalBlaze good luck at the midwife appointment, let us know how it goes! 🤰

@Delilah7 I am pretty sure I am not this time either, but there is always a flicker of hope!
I am itching to test anyway but I am going to be good and wait until Wednesday.

I have just got the usual AF symptoms. Cramps and sore boobs. Just waiting for that temp drop tomorrow or Wednesday. 👇🏻

@Crossfitgirl it's confusing, isn't it?! I used the LH only clearblue last month and they were positive when my ordinary opks were negative.

Hey @Crossfitgirl, CD12 and I'm just patiently waiting for the big O at the moment. I 'think' i had a positive OPK yesterday, not for sure because I forgot to check it and checked it about an hr later and was positive. So checking tonight and will be jumping on him if a BFP!

On other news, house stuff is all fast moving and hopefully will be in before Christmas!

Hi @cookiewaffle! How are you getting on? Xx

Glass of wine tonight @katbecool?
Well despite my positive OPK yesterday, my clearblue is still only flashing smiley today!!!

:-(

I thought we had nailed it, but if it's the same as last month where I seemed to have 2 LH surges, and got the solid smiley a couple of days after the positive OPK, then we will miss ov now as DH is away all week. Gonna keep testing with the OPKs.

Will try and DTD on Friday either way. Very confusing nevertheless!

Just popped back for a quick check on everyone. @RanchoRelaxo omg I'm keeping my fingers crossed that's a nice sticky one for you!! xxx

Hope everyone is doing OK xx

Sorry for AF @KatBeCool x

@Crossfitgirl was due on yesterday at 10dpo (usually only have a 9 day luteal phase) I wasn't going to test, I think I just wanted to cause it was a Sunday haha still don't believe it though and think AF will start at any point, I had (and still do slightly) strong AF cramps and no symptoms except white creamy cm around 8dpo that I've never had before

Thanks everyone for the congratulations, will keep you updated, will probs be spending half my day at work running to the loo to knicker check 😂

Aaand started spotting, AF is to be here in a few hours. So disappointing. CD1 for me. Sigh.

@Ranchorelaxo omg congratulations! It really is a true squinter that, but I can see a line. When was af due again? Yay!!!

@validuser can't argue that, sounds like a plan. I would pay for private screening.

Good luck to you guys testing Wednesday! (And whoever else testing next week?)
I'll be joining you in the 2ww soon, although my tiny luteal phase makes it more like a one week wait for me!

I may get some cheap pg tests this time. Managed to DTD tonight too so hopefully it's enough, I'm happy we've done what we can- both weekend days, the day before and the day of positive OPK.
I doubt we'll get one in before work in the morning so just have to cross fingers now, as DH away again til Friday!

@Fivexfive no af is good right? Xxx

RanchoRelaxo, omg congratulations! So happy for you :)

Just about caught up! Good luck to anyone testing this week. Cupcakesandglitter, it could be you next?!

Feeling a little overwhelmed this evening. Work is manic, got an AAT course to complete but struggling to focus on it now ttc is starting to take over... not that anything is really happening. I'm 14dpo tomorrow, no af yet even though it's cycle day 35. No idea what's going on tbh! Sigh.

So if I'm not pregnant this month, we're doing private screening next month. My insurance will cover a lot of treatments.

I know it's only cycle 3, but the more I know the more I can do.

#neuroticallyTTC

Started the fun on cycle day 6!

Got some less sexy exercise again too.

Oh @CrystalBlaze that gives me hope 😭😭 how are you getting on? Just seen below you're 9 weeks already?!

@Delilah7 it's just a waiting game I guess xx

@cupcakes that's what I had on an OPK before getting bfp. Just saying

@Flapjackered I'm good thanks! Very tired but am 9+3 tomorrow and had no sickness so far, touch wood. Have booking appt with midwife in the morning too.

@Delilah7 how come you think you're out?

@delilah7 hope you’re ok 😔 xx

@Delilah7 wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't :( The most horrible thing now is waiting for AF. Usually Flo has it bang on (other than last cycle) - annoying because my cycles were finally regular and now they're messing up again. Why is it so difficult 😭😭 x
