TTC First Baby Massive Thread.

Morning @FivexFive 😊 that sucks about your BFN! But, as these ladies say, you're not out till you're out!

So I'm supposed to ov today and we managed to DTD last night which is awesome, but I've told DH that we absolutely have to DTD tonight! He's gone "yeah, alright then!" Haha! He makes me giggle

Hi all! So the test this morning was bfn :( But no real sign of af yet so just waiting to see over the next few days... Sunday and yesterday I had cramps and yesterday also headache and a bit 'odd' in the morning (like light headed almost?) Probably reading too much into it! Feel fine this morning so far.
Delilah 7, hope you were able to get in another dtd :)
Anyway, good luck to all and have a nice day! Xx

@FlapJackered yay DPO twins! AF due on the 24th though. My TSH was 4.8, highest norm is 4.1. It was tested after the ovulation last month which does make it go higher. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and they'll retest since it's not skyrocketing.

@ProseccoBee eek 3 christenings?!
September is clearly THE month isn't it. June/July is nice, after exams when they grow up.

You'll know this then, August babs can select which year they start school in now can't they?

@surfingthesouthwest hiya also a teacher and I regularly daydream about when I could take my maternity in relation to term dates hahha! Also a tad worried about a summer born child but if it happens it happens! Me and Oh are both a July and August born ourselves and although growing up didn’t notice any difference now day to day in my job I just feel so sorry for my little summer cherubs who are always at a disadvantage due to testing etc!

Well seems like it was the weekend for feeling down, I was also having a down day. Somehow AF turned up on day 27 which has never ever happened, gone from the extreme of 55 days last time to 27 this time so seriously wandering what on Earth is going on with my cycle! Have ordered preseed and clear blue ovulation tests for next month as I’m ready! Just got to get through the next three weekends...3 christenings off the trot.

Hope everyone else is doing well today!

@KatBeCool we are dpo twins! I am 4dpo too 😀 when is AF due for you? Mine is due on 26th.
That is great your bloods came back normal, I have got my blood test tomorrow to check progesterone and testosterone. Do you know what TSH level your thyroid is? It should be ideally under 2 for conceiving (or at least under 3) as otherwise it can lead to trouble conceiving and miscarriages apparently. So if it is over that I would talk to them about levothyroxine.

Fingers crossed for you @FivexFive!!

Welcome @SurfingTheSouthWest 😀

@delilah7 ignore the opk tests and just keep dtd! X

Thanks Delilah7 :) Hope you feel more positive soon xx

Delilah7 eeeek thanks. Well technically I have to be in the job 26 weeks at 15 weeks before due date week. So in theory, once next AF comes, financially we can go for it.
Just a little worried about the prospect of a July or August baby. I know the child is more important than the birthdate but not sure if I should just wait a little longer to avoid it or not. Getting impatient and frustrated I think!

Hi ladies,

Any teachers on here? I’m trying to wait till November/December to ttc to maximise summer hols pre baby but thinking of starting in October.
Not sure if I’m being impatient and whether I should suck it up and wait. Only started at this school in September 2018 (after 2 years at previous school).

So my stats are
Me:24, dh:29
Ttc from November
Cd14, came off pill in February

Been a lurker for a couple of months. Sorry to hear of your troubles
Recently Delilah7. Cupcakesandglitter , I totally feel your desperation 😩

Xoxo

Just catching up, sorry to hear so many of you are feeling down today. Sending good vibes. Hopefully things will start looking up for us all soon xxx

I can confirm I cracked today and purchased a 2 pack 'early' pregnancy tests! Will take one tomorrow even though it's probably too early and my af will probably appear literally Right as I'm peeing on it (anyone else get that phenomenon?!)

@FlapJackered I'm CD18 and 4 DPO. Boobs sore, lower back kinda sore. Usual fun stuff. And hungry.

On a positive note, my bloodwork came back normal and so did my husband's sperm test. Next testing the lining and hopefully I won't need that. Seeing the Dr on Wednesday about my other blood results, my thyroids came back a bit high, hoping it's nothing. But I know what she's gonna say, as all my results show that I need to exercise. So I'm trying haha, it's boring.

@KatBeCool I wish it would have a different way of letting me know! 😂
My temps are up so I think I have ov'd but just not sure when as I didn't really have a dip it was more of a slow rise and the two apps I have are saying different days 🤨
I think either way we didn't Dtd enough before so probably doesn't matter.
How are you? What cd are you on now?

@Delilah7 it's a pain in the arse isn't! I hope when I get pregnant I am one of those women who get beautiful clear skin, knowing me it'll be the opposite! 🙄

@FlapJackered and you were so worried you missed your peak. Your body is there to let you know you ovulated by presenting you with acne. I normally just want to eat all the time after ovulation.

@cupcakesandglitter sorry you're having a tough day. I feel exactly the same. Honestly can't see how it is so easy for so many people!
I am going to try that link later and do some visualisations!

@Delilah7 ❤️ hope your grandad is ok.

@Crossfitgirl nooo! That is extremely inconsiderate of him 😂. It's a shame they can't just leave the vital part at home when they go away 😂
I think stress has a major impact, my cycle is much shorter this time and I am almost 100% positive it's because I haven't had so much work on.

Urghhh my post ovulation acne is back in full force today. So frigging annoying!!

Haha any tips on syringes?? 😂😂
Well I'm not sure it'll make a huge difference, I'm CD 9 and have been ovulating on like CD17 ish, so I'm not actually due to ovulate until the weekend anyway...

However I have been wishing ovulation forwards and wishing for a longer luteal phase, and the wish may well have come true as the flashing smiley did not come this soon last cycle.
I wonder if less stress, plus the preconception vitamins have actually done the trick and I may ovulate sooner this time?

If so, I've totally shot myself in the foot!

I'm not even sure how to approach DH, I don't really wanna tell him it's FW as I think it put him off last time. Might just wait it out and see if he comes on to me at the weekend and hope that's around ov!

@Crossfitgirl you clearly need a spooge courier.
