TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO.8

@Crossfitgirl thanks I will test again and then I can see how long my surge actually is then because i've no idea. Don't know what it means if its a long or short surge 🙈 Don't think like that, keep positive and you might be seeing your BFP soon....Baby Dust 💕

@flapjackered Friday does seem ages away! Although for me i would usually be due on Saturday had I ovulated at normal time! So wouldn't even be thinking about testing now on a normal cycle.

My temp has varied, first month temping it gradually dropped after ov and dropped more at the start of spotting, second month it stayed high until a few days into AF, and last month my temp was so all over the shop i have no idea.
This month has not really dropped at all, similar to month 2, in fact it's gone up slightly this morning but only a teeny fraction. I don't think I can trust it as it's been so variable I don't have a "normal" with it yet xx

@daydreamer1707 i would DTD every day for 3 or 4 days starting the day of your positive test, as ov will be 24-48 hours after the positive, and there's still chance the day after ov too xx

And yes glad the tests won't come until Wednesday. Tbh, I bet spotting and AF will come before then anyway 😭 I hate this! 9dpo is the hardest!!!

@Crossfitgirl 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 do you normally get a temp drop before you start spotting? As hopefully it's a good sign your temp is still high?
I am not really sure when I am due. Before the last two cycles my LP was reliably 12 days then the one before last was 14days and the last one was 10! I know LP isn't meant to change but my ov dates are pretty obvious with temp changes and opks.
FF is saying due on Friday which will be 13dpo. So I will try and hold out until then to test as af would probably have turned up by then if I can hold out! It's sooo far away though 😩

Oooh @autumnfires cycle buddies with flapjackered and I!
@MrsEG right there with you on the needing a camera. I mean why can't they let us have home ultrasounds to track our eggies all the time?? Lol! The clearblue aren't as sensitive as some other tests so maybe try a different brand?

Xx

@Crossfitgirl all sounding hopefully to me! Try and keep calm though, easier said than done I know. Maybe it's a good thing the test don't come till Wednesday. I would try an hold out for as long a you can before testing 🤞

@MrsEG I know how you feel with the camera idea 😂. This is also my 1st cycle since my MC in October x

@FlapJackered We DTD yesterday so I will test again today to see if it is still positive and then just DTD again sure the OH won't mind 🙊

I know @flapjackered, and thank you - I can't help it, my hopes are totally up, but I know deep down that we probably missed the egg and it's just AF starting and tricking me, I would usually start spotting around now ish anyway - it's just that it's a different colour which is not normal for me, and I just can't help myself!

I'm already well and truly set up for a huge disappointment, but.... argh! I want it so much!!

Youre right though, one month my boobs were so sore the whole 2ww and it turned out was just my body being a dick. Lol!!!

When are you due? It don't be that long after me?

@autumnfires are you 9po too? CrossFit and I are too! I just want to fast forward the next few days. I have an internal monologue on repeat of 'maybe I should poas' 'no it's way too early', 'but maybe I should just for fun'...😂🤦🏼‍♀️
When are you due af/testing?

@autumnfires Before I was pregnant in October I had kind of brown, rusty stains in my pants at around 11dpo, nothing when I wiped. I think pink is also a sign of implantation too though!

So I’m having a weird one today. After my FRER faint line, I then took a ClearBlue digital, which came back negative. I did it at like 10pm last night full of Diet Coke but still, at 13dpo I’d expect a BFP at this stage?

Anyway, AF is due today and my boobs are so, so sore I cannot even touch them. As this is my first cycle post-MC I won’t even mind if this is just a really painful period (I’ll just be glad to have a normal cycle back!) but I have no PMS of AF symptoms at all. A bit baffled! I know I ovulated 14 days ago, as used my OPKs.

Honestly, sometimes I wish I could just shove a camera up there to take a look for myself what’s going on!!!!

@crossfitgirl I randomly had pink last month and usually get brown too. Your temp chart looks really good aswell though doesn't it?

Did any ladies who got bfp get pink implantation??

@Crossfitgirl it sounds like the right time for implantation bleeding keeping everything crossed for you!!!!
I know it's hard but try not to get too excited, not to be a downer but our bodies seem to find excellent ways to screw us over sometimes too. Just don't want you to be too disappointed if it isn't ❤️

@DayDreamer1707 I would get bd-Ing! Once you have had the first surge you have 12-36 hours before you're likely to ovulate. I have only ever had more than one positive on one cycle so you may not get another one now. As long as it was the same or darker than the control line, go for it!!

@Crossfitgirl Exciting! If it is implantation bleeding you won’t get a BFP for a few days anyway as the HCG doesnt happen until fully implanted. So try and wait just a few days!! Fingers crossed for you!!!

@sunshine1987 @MrsEG @CookieWaffle thank you xx just shows it can happen for any of us literally any cycle.

@sunshine1987 I bet sunshine vibes helped in Mauritius though 😊 I love the fact that's your name as well.

Got my fingers crossed for all you ladies waiting to poas in next few days. 9dpo-12dpo drags soo much.

Omg! Ok so I'm ridiculous but I'm shaking a bit.
Just went to the loo and wiped and it was pink.
I have literally never ever had any discharge that has been that colour before... if I get spotting it's always brown or dark brown.

If it's implantation spotting I'm literally going to go mental!

Argh!

The FRERS I ordered aren't even meant to come til Wednesday even with Amazon prime cos it's been flipping black Friday weekend! (Don't know why we bother paying for prime when it's never next day anymore)

I can't even help it, my hopes are so so so high right now, sooo high! I'm going to be devastated when I probably get a BFN on weds but.

What do you think ladies?????
9dpo.... x

@DayDreamer1707 I will do one tonight after I’ve nipped to the shop. I showed OH when he came in from work this morning and he can see it too.

Baby dust to you all xxx

Well I woke up this morning with no boob pain or any pain at all. So thought I would save my test. So annoyed! Happy Monday girls. Have a good day x x x x

@ValidUser I'm so sorry for your news, I cant begin to imagine how you must be feeling and it's totally understandable. I hope that you are on the right track now for the support you need. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Sric1994 You need to do a test today, I think I can see a very faint line and I am hoping for a BFP for you!!!

@GemmaJen I love going Ikea even if I only come out with candles 😂. This is my first cycle after a miscarriage and I've not a clue whats going on. Trying to see it as a positive new challenge if that makes sense.

I got my first positive reading on my OPKs yesterday, I am going to test again this morning around 10:30 to see if the surge is still there. As this is the first time using OPKs i'm not actually sure when that means I will ovulate. Will it be in the next day or so or when I start to get negative results again? I'm new to tracking my ovulation 😫

@Crossfitgirl yes 9dpo, so not long to wait for you now 🤞🏻
My temp went down slightly today, I know it doesn't mean much but I am feeling slightly less positive about this cycle now. I did have a real feeling we had done it this cycle but suddenly today I don't think we have. I just want to know now!

@flapjackered true, well - all I can do is wait it out! Are we 9dpo today? I've lost count! Thought it was 8 but actually think it must be 9 now!

@validuser it's a pleasure to have you on here, I'm glad you've found support from us. It's awful to think fertility is in any way compromised, but everything now points to a Christmas BFP for you - an unblocked tube and increased chances this month like they said... just get DTD got all my fingers and toes crossed! Xx

@ValidUser I’m not surprised at all, it must be tough news to get your head around especially for something you want so badly! Try and stay hopeful - at least you have your answer now. I have everything crossed for you!

@Crossfitgirl it does look like it doesn't it, you never know though, so don't lose hope. If you didn't catch it this cycle at least it won't be too long before you're on to the next one as you ovulated earlier and you can try again.

@ValidUser I am not surprised, it must be so difficult to process, there is still lots of hope though. As hard as it is just try and stay positive and look after yourself. We're here if you ever need support. ❤️

Thanks @CookieWaffle. And I'm so delighted for you. These BFPs give me hope! ❤️

Sorry @ValidUser I had to check back on the news. Sounds like you've been through alot. Sounds like you had answers though and an action plan (I love an action plan). I'm so glad that you know what's up now and know what to do, it's horrible not knowing what's wrong or why something's not working. Keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx
