TTC First Baby Massive Thread.

@ranchorelaxo doesn’t look like an evap to me! Congratulations! x

@RanchoRelaxo I agree looks like a BFP! Congratulations 😃❤️ x

@Delilah7 was positive I was out because I've had very strong AF cramps, even told DH that it's not worked this month, but then I stupidly tested this afternoon not using fmu and it's a squinter! 😂 Am convinced it's an evap line and trying hard not to get my hopes up, but this is the only ever second line I've had before. Will test again in a few days if AF hasn't shown I think

@Delilah7 it's possible your body a gonna ovulate earlier but didn't and then did later. So if your cycles are irregular, add two weeks (at least) to your later predicted ovulation. Or until you get some very telling symptoms. I mean if you're pregnant, it's not like you're get un-pregnant if you don't test.

@Delilah7 you kidding? This thread wouldn't be the same without noonie! 🤣🤣

@FlapJackered you can do it! Just a couple more days. I told myself I'm not waisting any more tests before AF is late. Maybe write a price on that frer, it'll keep you off. 😂😂

@Delilah7 I think your noonie needs to have her own profile here, and maybe an Instagram page. She's becoming quite famous. I mean we don't talk about anyone else's vagina here but yours and she's quite the character 😂😂😂🤣🤣

@Crossfitgirl yay for your OPK and mainly for DH being cooperative. As for relaxing, I don't know if being an adult comes with true relaxing. There's TV and maybe doing some art or something, but my mind is still trying to resolve everything at all times, especially if I can't control it. But it all depends on the personally type. Many intuitive people are the natural planners, their mind never relaxes. But then there are people who live in the moment, so they worry less, plan less, go with the flow more. I need something that makes me laugh to stop thinking about things. Or chocolate.

Arghhhh 10dpo and just got a first response out of the cupboard, put it back, got it out again and put it back!!
Until today I have been so good at not wanting to test at all - where does the self control go!!?! 🙈

@Squiff70 such good news!! congratulations!! 🎉🥂🎉

@MrsC87 glad you're feeling better hun x

@GDOG35 I use ICs and clearblue! Just to be ultra sure!! I have crappy irregular cycles though so no idea when ov will be each month. Opks and temping are amazing or I would be completely lost.

@Delilah7 😂😂

@Crossfitgirl yay for the positive opk!!! And just in time!!

@Delilah helps your mind & body work with each other if that makes sense. Makes you more balanced. I’m going to give it ago I need something. I have massages but they make me relaxed for an hour when I’m there but afterward I’m back to craziness. With acupuncture think you need a few session to really get into it.

Stress is definitely a factor, I am finding it really hard to relax though, we have issues with our gas fire I need to sort, house move stuff to sort, solicitors to chase, just got to fork out 4 new car tyres, it's never ending!
How do you guys all relax?

I find it hard to switch my mind off and not think about the things i can't control.

In other news, just got my positive OPK! Yay! I have told DH and suggested we have sex today and tomorrow morning before he goes away.

He didnt jump for joy but he also didn't say no....

🤞🤞🤞

@Squiff70 !!! Congratulations 💕💕💕💕 xxx

@Delilah7 😂😂 glad you've had your morning ride!!

So AF is due today/tomorrow Ish as I'm CD31. Feels like AF is coming (it did all day yesterday) but I've just been super wet. Don't feel pregnant at all, just waiting for AF now. Not sure what I want to do next cycle, I'm impatient anyway, but this is really slowly breaking me 😩

@GDOG35 let me know how acupuncture goes i’d definitely be up for giving it a try. I cut down on smoking but when I’m stressed I end up having a couple and I know I shouldn’t but it’s the only thing that relaxes me a bit

MrsMcNtobe I think stress plays a huge part. I know what you mean about missing chances. When my husband says he’s tired I get sooooo annoyed at him & angry as I’m like but we have to do it etc & I need to stop being like that. Every month I say I’m not going to be less stressed because even my husband says I need to relax, but then my mind goes into body ovulation overload & I become obsessed. This is why I need to find something to relax. I’m going to book in for acupuncture next week & see if that may help me.

@GDOG35 I think we’ll be taking a break tonight!! I’m just scared to miss my chance that’s all. I’m stressing wayyyyy too much and I know that’s the worst thing I can do!

@Crossfitgirl I have no idea when I ovulate. Even though I track on the flo app it's never accurate. I've also tried tracking with ovulation tests but have found that some months I don't ovulate at all! However my period is always on time

MrsMcNtobe I felt so sore the last week too I was throbbing for a day or 2 🙈 my husband had a ohhh sex drive I say ‘had’ he’s finding it exhausting some days & plus working etc it can get tiring. think next cycle may do it every other want his swimmers to be fresh & ready!! 🤣

@Crossfitgirl don’t be too hard on yourself! Other half has a high sex drive and I’ve been happy to go along with it since we’ve been trying although today I need a little rest.. a bit sore down there lol! X
