TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO.8

Thanks @flapjackered
I think it's unmistakable this cycle - got a really good chart! To say it's normally cd17 or 18 is crazy! I hardly got any ov pains or anything either so didn't see it coming. Xx

Morning all!

Sorry I've been on such a downer the last few days. Genuinely overwhelmed by last week's news and the fact that I've been infertile until now. And that I'm only fertile for a limited time.

Tentatively hopeful. But scared.

Thank you all so much for listening. You've been a great support. X

@Crossfitgirl are you sure you're right about ovulating early? Have you been temping this cycle? If so maybe post your chart and we can try and work it out.

@gemmajen @MrsEG we have just moved house too! Just ordered a new bed and mattress, haven't got round to Ikea yet but it'll definitely be on the agenda for storage!
Congrats @sric1994 :-)

Well, I'm miffed because I ordered some FRERS yesterday thinking this could be my month, but then just now I googled the chances of conception on the day of the temp rise (the only time we DTD this cycle) and everything says it's too late and the egg will have already gone :-(

8dpo and was gonna test sometime this week as I am due AF tomorrow and haven't had any spotting yet when I usually get about 3 days worth! Although I think flo is lying about my due date as it shortened my cycle from 28 days to 23 based on me ovulating early.

Ho hum 😐

@cupcakesandglitter this was an FRER. Given that it was so late at night, I’ve been drinking and only went to the toilet an hour earlier at the most, I’m sure it should be darker if I test in the morning. However I have no tests left 😂xx

Wow look at all these BFP's flying around!! Fingers crossed for everyone else during the festive period

@cupcakesandglitter thank you! I can’t quite believe it yet! I only went to the toilet an hour ago before that. I tested on Thursday and it was a BFN. I need to get another test tomorrow xx

@AngeloMysterioso thank you so much for you quick reply! I feel less crazy now. I don’t want to get too excited because it could just be an evap line. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Sric1994 think I can see something! Fingers crossed!

Hi ladies,
Please help me out! I’m not sure if I’m seeing things or that I have a very faint line!!
What do you think? Xx

I just had a crazy TTC lady moment.

I wanted to do a quick OPK test before my shower to see if I should drag my DP up for an early night tonight and dropped the glass rameken I keep under the sink for tests (which I wash between uses, don't worry). Thankfully it smashed before I used it, but I still had to explain what I was doing to a bemused and concerned DP who came running in thinking I'd smashed the mirror or something 🙈

Anyway, lh surge is still there, I think! Hoping the success of sunshine1987 CookieWaffle and MrsEG rubs off on me!!

@GemmaJen we’re in the same boat - trying to get a new fence sorted and new kitchen fitted, as well as redecorating - IKEA is our second home!! Just keep telling yourself it will be all worth it when it’s done! I find home improvements are a nice TTC distraction too :)

How's everyone's weekend been?

We've had an Ikea weekend, getting our house in order - moved recently and it's a mess! But looking a lot better now

On the ttc front I've no clue what's going on after the MC so I'm going to concentrate on organising the kitchen cupboards for now

@SullyWifey the giveaway for me when I got pg was sore boobs.

@SullyWifey That’s exactly what my boobs are like at the moment, they were sore to sleep on last night. So fingers crossed for you!!

@flapjackered I'm gonna give it til Tuesday (10dpo) and if there's no spotting by then, I'm testing!
I usually spot 2-3 days before AF so will see. Xxx

@sullywifey if that's not normal pms for you, then POAS!!

I have terrible boob ache, can hardly touch them. Literally sitting here topless because even my top hurt against them 😂.

I also have killer back ache and standard period cramps.

Tell me that's a very normally PMS symptom and I should not POAS until Thursday.

My Clue app is saying my predicted fertile days are CD12-15 and ovulation day (singular) CD16, my FF app is saying predicted fertile days are CD15-17 and ovulation days (plural) CD18-24! Clue app predicts next period to start on the 24th Dec, FF app says 30th. How are they so wildly different?! I've been using Clue longer and more regularly, could that be it? Should I go back and try and sync up my FF app to my Clue app?

Head spinning again...

Thanks @FlapJackered! I've already got the Amazon cheapies so will get cracking with them. What's the deal with charts and the FF app and taking temperatures and stuff?

@BabySquid sorry you're having a tough time of it lovely. It's so hard isn't it. Take care of yourself. I hope we hear from you again soon with news of a bfp. ❤️
