TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

So I usually get premenstrual spotting, but it started and stopped.

I'm also lacking my pms crankiness.

Boobs getting sore.

Things do smell funny and I feel sick. And headachy.

I bought a few FRERs this morning when I was passing boots. Might try in the morning.

Or AF might get me.

Either way, pregnant or not, I think I needed this bit of hope. Was losing my TTC mojo.

@ValidUser that's exciting! Do another tomorrow or in a couple of days?

Harry and Meghan are so lucky! Where is our baby making magic? Oh wait.. they stole it!

I had the same thought. It didn't help that my brother sent me the link saying: any news?

He got married the same month as Will and Kate and had all three kids within a couple of months as them. So is convinced any royal announcement must coincide with our family.

It's positive to hear someone 37 get pregnant pretty quick though!

@MrsC87 @Delilah7 @BabySquid me too! It's not fair! 😂 it is lovely news but every pregnancy announcement I get a mini stab of envy in my uterus!

I hear you @Delilah7 my exact reaction was wow that didn't take long for them.
What's their secret? Lol x

@Delilah7 they might not have money pressure but they have every other kinda pressure going. The pressure the get pg fast, the pressure to have perfect babies, the scare that press may find out too early, then chance of MC and someone finding out.
Didn't mean to sound funny... I'd take just money pressure over all of that any day.

Got a faint line on an early clearblue I think!

@FlapJackered do you know I JUST thought exactly the same thing!!!
They've only been married two mins!
It was my one year anniversary yesterday and I'm 8dpo so keeping everything crossed for a sort of anniversary baby!!

Has anyone heard the news about Meghan and Harry? How did that happen so quickly?!? And why can't it happen for us! 😂😭

Sorry for the bfn @ValidUser but it is early days so maybe that line will reappear tomorrow. 🤞🏻don't they say hcg doubles every 48 hrs?

@Crossfitgirl it was more "not more positive" than completely bare, but I'll test again in a few days!

@Delilah7 oh god yeah not surprising you have other things to think about, what will the mri tell you?

@Crossfitgirl - that is good you're not going to miss it, 🤞🏻 and you should cover it Dtd on fri and Sunday. Hope you're having a good time out there, is the weather good?
My last cycle was a really weird slow rise and no dip before. All other cycles have been positive opk, massive dip, then massive rise which is much easier to tell! I suppose tomorrow will tell if it stays high. We Dtd on Saturday morning and this morning but it could have been more and we didn't do it yesterday. So not great but not terrible either!

Comisserations on the BFN @validuser, I had my hopes up for you. This testing early malarkey is stressful! Even when it's not my own test! Lol xxx

@delilah7 yes I'd go with your body signs, you did before and that worked.
@flapjackered what is going on with your temps? Does it sometimes go halfway higher before it goes really high?

I get back tomorrow and my FW starts Wednesday, flo currently tells me I ovulate in 7 days so plenty time, however next weekend I am away again for work Friday night to Sunday so I'm hoping we can DTD Friday afternoon and Sunday night! Ovulation is next Mon (if correct) so can still DTD Mon and Tues if not xx

How's DTD going with you? If you think you've ovulated are you getting on it tonight?

@Delilah7 I have no idea what's going on with my body, temp up but negative opks. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would trust your body with it, but it's great you're being so relaxed about it this month.

@KatBeCool I normally do have a temp drop at ovulation but the last cycle I didn't at all. Then today my temp has gone up to 36.40 which is .10 over my coverline so I don't know what is going on!
The opks have not really got that dark at all.
I think perhaps opks aren't really working for me anymore, it's annoying as they were so helpful the first few cycles. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Hopefully it hasn't messed with your cycle too much. Have you noticed another other symptoms from the medication? I had way more energy when I started taking it.

@Crossfitgirl day 3 of flashing smiley 😫
I was really hoping today would be the day for the static as I have ovulation on cd18 more than any other day. However I got a temp rise to 36.40 from 36.27 which is over my cover line so may I ovulated yesterday. Which would be REALLY annoying as we didn't Dtd yesterday.
You must be coming up to fertile week soon? Will you be back from your hols in time?

Unfortunately I think I have some clear BFNs this morning!

Mumsnet not letting me post any more pics.

@justTrying1 it's hard not getting hopes up especially when you might be late but it might just be AF playing tricks.
@flapjackered how many days of flashing smiley have you had? Fx for ovulation soon!

I'm awake and patiently awaiting your test @validuser! I'm an hour ahead. Hope this morning's is less squinty! Xx

@FlapJackered mine have been 24 days last four cycles, one before was right after I took my coil out, it was 34 days and it doesn't count, and this one so far seems to be on track to 24 days as well. I can tell there's significant reduction in symptoms granted it's not like the boobs have to be in pain. Hoping the temps go back up.
Are your lines getting darker? Do you usually get a temp dip when you ovulate?
