TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

@summer28 They sound like pg symptoms, but then it mimics AF too so who knows? I've had the same apart from the backache last few days. Xx

Let's hope we all get our positives soon. I took a test this morning and it was negative. I think I've been in limbo so much for the past few days I actually feel ok with seeing it as I'm not driving myself crazy not knowing now and can concentrate on moving forward now.

Sorry for all the bloody witches that have crept up yesterday but glad you're all able to move on to a fresh cycle.
Welcome to the newbies too :-) great to have new ladies on here to share the fun!

I may be joining you all very soon with AF, I am due AF Saturday but got a teeny but of pink spotting last night and very crampy today. Feels like it's coming and soon!

I'm sort of excited though, as soon as AF arrives I can go get my blood test done.

For those of you that have had the day 1-3 and day 21 blood tests before, I have a question - do you count spotting or full flow as day 1? My GP suggested that if I normally spot for a few days before AF starts properly, I should get it done on the 3rd day of spotting, however everything I've read online points to that the first day of full red flow counts as day 1?

Hi everyone, just caught up on the thread from the last couple of days. I'm glad AF finally arrived for those of you who were waiting. TWW dragging over here, my toughest one yet as I've felt poorly and just not right for the last 5 days or so. Falling asleep as soon as I get home, back ache, painful abdomen. So I've been miserable! Anyone else feeling like this this time around? Xxx

@Delilah7 wohoo! Finally you're moving forward!

@FivexFive while TTC you can dye your hair any way you want. When pregnant, you can use ammonia-free dyes.

@FlapJackered welcome to the other side of AF! My fertile week has started yesterday.

@cupcakesandglitter maybe it's like that due to stress, absolutely possible. As long as it's gone, you're good. Sounds like a very light AF.

Looks like there'll be lots of us in the 2WW together this month! CD3 for me today...

Just checking in and see that AF has arrived @Delilah7! I know a bfp is preferable and I know for you 34 days is long but at least it wasn't longer. That's not too far off your normal which I think is a really good sign your body is getting back to normal.

@cupcakesandglitter if it is AF for you I am glad that you know where you are. This cycle for me I started bleeding and then it suddenly stopped until the next day and then it started again,

I have just finished AF and gone from feeling very low to feeling positive and philosophical about it all. I am staying with my gorgeous nephew this week, he is mostly lovely but he is teething and has started trying to bite the poor dog and his parents and me. It's not an easy job raising a child that is for sure! 😬

@cupcakesandglitter, you wouldn’t be normal if you didn’t get mad as shit about the witch that is AF!!!
Fingers crossed this is the last we see of that witch for a while!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thankyou @ValidUser @SenoraSurf @Teachermummy83 ❤️ I'm being positive now but I guarantee I'll be mad as shit tomorrow 😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter just saw that AF arrived. Hugs and hope!

Thinking of all of you❤ little pip is 7 weeks today! Hoping lots of you will be joining us in this retchy tired hormonal camp asap!! Xxxx

Officially on the bus! Well, the November bus I guess...
Stats are
Age- 24 (DH 28)
Cycle 1
CD 2!

Super excited and have been following you ladies for 3 months now. In a perfect world, I'd fall in December but we're trying from now and seeing what happens.

@Delilah7 @cupcakesandglitter I'm both sad and glad for you both to read AF has arrived girlies. Fingers crossed this is the cycle!

Xoxo

WooHoo @Delilah and @cupcakesandglitter! Never thought I’d be happy for folk to have AF arrive in here, but I’m glad you now know where you stand.
This WILL be the cycle for some of us, I just know it! Positive thinking all the way! Bring on the babies!!!!!

@BabySquid holding out but driving myself crazy. Given myself such a headache today worrying and sure my other half thinks I'm crazy. Got an appointment tomorrow at the early pregnancy unit. Going to take another test in morning though and see what it says incase it is negative and least then someone who needs appointment can have my slot. Had very small amounts of blood since first thing when getting up. A bit tonight other than that a bit of brown blood. No pain at all apart from a bit of cramping Saturday. Just want to know either way now so hoping they can do hcg blood tomorrow x

Hi all! Sorry to hear about the af's arriving, but glad you guys now know where you are at least. Not much to report this end, just waiting for Optimal Bonking Time!
Random and probably ridiculous question: is it ok to dye hair when ttc? Got an urge to go dark red for Autumn but not sure if it's ok??

@Delilah7 I'm wondering did you ovulate after stopping OPKs? Would possibly explain long cycle?

(My timing may be all off here.)

Hey @mrsof20118 how are you doing??

@Delilah7 least you can start to track with a new cycle now must be slightly relieved xx

Make that 3 of us! I think AF has joined me today too! Light brown when I wiped this afternoon.

@delilah7 yes girl! Happy but not happy for you at the same time, but glad you can now start fresh and get cow girling!

@catlady3 I am also a cat lady!

@Delilah7 onwards and upwards!

@Delilah7 perfect excuse to get back on your game and DTD as much as you can this cycle ;) yeehaw! X
