TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO. 9

@FlapJackered oh hun, that's never fun when DH isn't up for it!

@KatBeCool fingers crossed everything works as it should! 😊

Well, Flo's changed its mind yet again! I'm back to being due AF on Christmas Eve!! I feel horrendous - can't figure out if I'm coming down with something (always do when I stop for Christmas!) or if these are actually pg symptoms...

@FlapJackered thank you but I didn't do it. I had a bit of spotting once when I wiped last night so didn't think there was any need. I really think I'm out this month and my body just still isn't ready. Safe to say I had a massive cry this morning feeling extremely sorry for myself. I'm sure if you DTD tonight you all be fine, as long as you've done it a couple of other times too x

Temp has gone half up and lots of ewcm and ov pain. I am guessing I am ovulating right now and guess what, DH doesn't want to have sex because he is cycling into work today and won't be showering 😩 (I had to be all 'that's fine, no problem' as we are meant to being chilled this month 😂)
Instead he said we can do it tonight but I am worried it will be too late.
Oh well. It is what it is I suppose.😡

Ah so many Christmas Day testers!! I wil have to keep checking over Christmas, surely one of you will have a Christmas bfp!
I will be likely testing on New Years Day I think.

@KatBeCool it is hard isn't it! As you can see from above, I am struggling too with that strategy!

@DayDreamer1707 thinking of you this morning with the frer. Let us know how you get on. X

@FlapJackered it's hard to relax entirely as getting pregnant is still on my mind pretty much at all times. As well as the approaching date of visiting the SILs house. Maybe I'll add some laxatives to the desserts I'm bringing. But it's easier not to poas. The hard part is I kinda know when I'll ovulate as it's been pretty consistent. But still not going to poas, only temp.

@MrsR16 Oooh - FX for you this weekend then!!!

@MrsEG regular-ish! Between 25 and 32 days. Af last hit on 26th November and finished 29th, so was a short period compared to my standard 5 day ones!

@MrsR16 Oh how confusing!!! Maybe see if AF shows up this weekend and if not do a test? When was your last AF - do you have quite regular cycles?

@MrsEG not for sure, as I don't temp or use OPKs. Flo reckoned I ov'd on 9th, but I think it might well have been the 8th, going off cramping I had. It's now saying I ov'd on 6th so AF is due Friday! I'm very confused!

@MrsR16 I don’t use Flo so I don’t be know I’m afraid - do you know what date you ovulated this month?

@stormtrooperjulian FX for you, you’re not out yet! I completely agree - TTC is just of (usually rubbish) surprises!! We’re all due some nice ones!!

Flo's changed my AF date!!! I'm now due in 3 days! God knows what it's done... any ideas? Xx

@starkid fair enough x

@MrsLBear I'll be testing Xmas morning I think!

@MrsEG her eggs 😂😂 same 😂😂 I'll be testing with you too, and same here - I've not symptom spotted or anything, I don't even know what CD I am 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DayDreamer1707 oh bless him! Xx

@MrsEG I just feel really frustrated and my emotions are all over the place. Don't really know what to do but just put it down to the MC I suppose. Hope you get a nice Christmas BFP x

@MrsLBear I'm not normally a bath person but OH just wanted me relax, I'm not very good at relaxing especially at the moment. X

@mrslbear I’m trying not to google things as that’s when I become obsessed and stressed! Will DTD tonight just to be sure.. there goes my early, comfy night now I’ll be lying with my legs together trying not to let any escape 🙈😂

@MrsMcNtobe I've had quite bad o pains this month and I have a tugging feeling today as appears to pain (like yday) and apparently you can feel "things" before, during and after O. If you haven't O'd yet then I'm sure it's imminent.

@MrsEG that really made me laugh "squeezing my boobs" honestly the things we do. I did the same last month, even had DH cop a feel to see if they were harder than usual. He looked at me like I was mad. Oh of course, my DH is super supportive and would listen if I told him and would be totally on board but in a way I feel like if I keep it to myself then I myself aren't making it a bigger deal even though in my mind it's huge. That would be an amazing surprise plus I sort of see it as I'd rather surprise them if and when that BFP comes than let them know every detail which could mean nothing.

@DayDreamer1707 jealous of your bath!! We don't have one atm and it's all I want!! Fx you get some clarity soon and are on your way to that BFP.

@DayDreamer1707 Oh bless him. Enjoy your bath, you bloody need it! How do you feel generally in yourself at the moment?

@MrsEG @starkid can't be my AF, was just spotting I think, along with lots of Cm and now just more CM. OH can see my frustration and stress and just made me a bath 😍

I can't wait for some of you lovies to flood this feed with absolutely massive BFP!!!!

@MrsMcNtobe Maybe! I sometimes get a mild cramp the evening of or day after ov - DTD if you can, make the most of it!!

@MrsLBear Same! Don’t get me wrong DH has been so supportive especially when we had our early MC but I don’t really think he knows what to do with himself when I’m going mad squeezing my boobs to see if they’re sore and cramming FRERs in to every cupboard (‘they’re on offer in Boots I had to’) - keeping it all quiet this month and if (fingers crossed) we get good news Xmas day it can be a big surprise for him!! It’s acually quite fun, like having a little secret - and I totally agree it’s this thread keeping me sane and calm throughout it all!!

@mrslbear I’ve just started getting some dull/grumbly pains on my left side so I’m wondering if today is O day 🤦🏻‍♀️

@DayDreamer1707 - sorry to hear that xx

@MrsMcNtobe @mrslbear - hooray cycle buddies!! makes it more exciting haha

Also! I'm not telling DH anything cos he didn't wanna know when I was O'ing etc so just gonna keep it to myself - and you ladies ofcs! This thread is actually keeping me sane!

@MrsEG that's so good you've not caved and poas if you normally do! Keep going!! Xmas day would be amazing plus the fact it's your other half's bday. Bigger bonus!! Fx for you!! Sending you positive vibes!!
Think there's a few of you! Gonna be so excited to check this thread xmas day!

@MrsMcNtobe @starkid ah yay three of us!!!! Fx for us all!!!!!! Hopefully those Xmas day testers can set the scene with lots of BFP!
That's good though that you just listened to your natural symptoms!! Ewcm is a mega plus!

We can symptom spot together too 🤕 and drive ourselves insane. Cos I tell myself every time I won't but I do. I'm probably 0/1 DPO and I've already started haha! Tragic.

@MrsLBear I’m testing Xmas Day! AF is due that day so as long as she doesn’t show up that morning I’ll be testing. It is also DH birthday that day! I can’t decide if I’m nervous, apprehensive, excited or what - we really have been so chilled this month. Normally at this point I’d be symptom spotting like mad and thinking 6DPO yeaaahh let’s test just for fun. Not this month!! Haha. Anyone else on Xmas Eve/Day?
