TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD 10!

I'm due on 19th not feeling positive this month we didn't BD as often during fertile window shifts just got in the way. Days off now and exhausted 😴

@KatBeCool mostly dietary changes, I exercise regularly anyway but my diet recently has been terrible. Just had the biggest piece of Christmas cake ever, had to finish it before the healthy diet starts tomorrow 😂

@MrsAW2018 @Random2468 yay cycle buddies! When are you due AF? I’m due on the 14th, will probably test next weekend.

@MrsR16 I'm on cycle 1 after the pill so lord knows when AF will turn up!

I will be adding a paragraph to my letter that says the free TTC boob job can stay. I'm liking this new hourglass instead of pear shape I have going on this week. Haha!

@stormtrooperjulian that sounds like you did the right thing waiting to get your implant out! But it's frustrating when you want a baby about three months ago haha I frequently have chats with my body - "why are you failing at making a baby?!?"

@Jessikka OMG that made me die! "Strongly worded letter" I love it! I miss the pill for the simple fact that I knew when AF was going to hit every month - now it's a bit hit and miss...

Today I'm (possibly) 5dpo and my cramps and backache are so strong I'm actually nauseas. Won't lie to you ladies, im missing the easy days of the pill. No cramps, no pains etc. Aaaaah the good old days haha!

If I have to go through a week of these pains every month whilst ttc only for AF to arrive I will writing a very strongly worded letter to my lady bits and expressing serious dissatisfaction.

@stormtrooperjulian and @MrsAW2018 I'm also joining you as cycle buddy - 3dpo!! I'm going to try and wait till AF due... Will I last...... 😬 Health kick also starts for me Wednesday!

Ooh @stormtrooperjulian we're nearly cycle buddies... I'm either 3/4dpo! When are you planning on testing?

@stormtrooperjulian you can do it! What's involved in your health kick?

Thanks @FlapJackered and @GemmaJen temp went back up today, boobs are even more sore, I feel some "fluttering" in my lower abdomen sometimes. I did a cheapie, bfn. I'm not touching frer at least for another two days. Those might be good symptoms but they aren't reflected on any hpt.

Thanks @MrsR16 hopefully this is the one for both of us! I did think about getting my implant out sooner so my cycles could settle but I didn’t want to be dealing with periods etc on my honeymoon, and considering how bad I felt for a few weeks after removal with my hormones crashing I’m so glad I wasn’t going through that on my honeymoon, would have totally ruined it. I knew it might take longer after my implant, I just hoped I’d be one of the lucky ones!

@GemmaJen try not to worry too much! I would have thought that such a strong line was a good thing?

I’m 4dpo now, in that annoying slow part of the tww where it’s impossible to actually feel anything one way or the other. My post Christmas health kick begins tomorrow!

@FlapJackered thank you,

@Crossfitgirl it's possible I was closer to 10dpo. I made the mistake of googling high early hpt... I should now be banned from Google! Enough worrying nfo to give you a stomach ulcer 😂

@PinkFizz19 so sorry about AF, totally sucks.

@EEK18 fx for you x

@KatBeCool sounding good, fx for you. Lovely that your DH is involved. I try to explain things to mine and I can physically see him glaze over.

I'm feeling a lot better this morning, the talking to worked, still having a few worry moments, but allowing myself to be happy is helping 😊 Went around our friends yesterday to meet up with everyone, think I might have laughed too much, lol. Cards against humanity is brutal! Though I'm not enjoying my new role as designated driver, really fancied a snooze on the way home 💤😴

@PinkFizz19 welcome. This is a super friendly group!

@FlapJackered looong day lol. I can't even sleep. It was bfn yesterday, didn't dare to test today. My boobs are still sore with no sign of improvement which is very unusual, even DH commented on that. He's also counting DPO, which isn't helping.

@MrsR16 @stormtrooperjulian @FlapJackered Thank you for the welcome. You're such a friendly and helpful group Here's hoping we all see our BFPs soon xxx

@ValidUser *no (not 'now')

@Crossfitgirl so lovely to hear from you and to hear everything is going well! Not long to wait now until the scan!
I am cd5 (satisfyingly with the days of the month this cycle!) and the headache has subsided now thankfully. Really hoping these Soy isos do the job!!

@PinkFizz19 welcome! 😀

@ValidUser not long to wait now for the op. Then hopefully there will be now obstacles in the way for that bfp. X

@KatBeCool There have been temp dips on lots of people's charts before they got their bfps you're not out yet, and it's not a proper dip, keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow's temp x

@stormtrooperjulian Side effects are better today thanks lovely. Headache has gone but still fairly over emotional. DH is taking cover 😂

@stormtrooperjulian absolutely! We will get our BFPs soon! My feeling is that I haven't been ovulating since coming off the pill, so last month was the first proper chance I had! Fingers crossed for you this month though, lovely! Xx

Hi! Checking in.

Cycle 3
TTC 1
8dpo

Having cramps and some light pink bleed.
Hoping that this is it

@FlapJackered how are the soy side effects feeling today?

@ValidUser glad you’re feeling positive about this cycle! How quickly will you get the surgery after seeing the specialist?

@PinkFizz19 and @Jennamiah welcome!

@KatBeCool there’s still time for your temp to pick back up again, you’re not out til AF arrives

@MrsR16 I’m on cycle 6 too, I just keep telling myself that it’s totally normal for it to take up to a year. Although I’m not sure if the first few cycles had any chance at all, with minimal periods and being on the NSAIDs that can both prevent ovulation and prevent implantation!

Oh thank you hun!!!
It's so nice to know theres people in the same boat as me. I hope we all get some good news soon xxx

Okay, I’m back and feeling more myself again

CD 14. Noticed a changed in my EMCM yesterday that has persisted today. DTD yesterday and we plan to do it tomorrow.

Went back to school yesterday and had quite an intense day. So EVERYTHING hurts today. But don’t want to take anything but paracetamol just in case. So sat here with hot water bottles and a cup of tea watching Luther.

Hope everyone is doing okay :)

@PinkFizz19 aw hun that damn AF! She's so rude turning up when she's not welcome! It sucks, but you still have time.

@Jennamiah welcome Hun! There are lots of success stores and they keep popping back to catch up every now and then, so this is a great place to be! Not so much a success story, but I'm now on cycle 6 of trying - I hope I get my BFP soon!

@KatBeCool oh, you're not out till you're out! Just take it one day at a time xx

@Crossfitgirl aw, great to hear from you and glad everything's going ok! Hope your symptoms settle soon enough xx

So temp dipped today but not as low as cover line. Not sure if I should expect the doom of AF but definitely gutted.

Hi Guys,

I recently got married and myself and my husband have been TTC.
We have been trying since November 2018 but with no luck. Last month I tried to follow my ovulation calendar so we are hoping this month we get our BFP!!! we thought we would get our BFP in December but there was nothing which made up quite sad.

I would like to hear success stories or any tips as to what we can do to improve the chance.

@crossfitgirl Hope I've tagged you correctly Thank you so much for your post...unfortunately AF got me this afternoon feel so silly getting my hopes up and then still trying to be positive after my BFN this morning. Ohh well CD 1, Cycle 2 it is. We were meant to be taking it easy and just letting whatever happens..happen while BD more but i think I'm going to get some OPKs to try this month then I'll get a better idea of my cycle. Especially if it's going to be different from previously. Wishing the next 3 weeks to fly by for you then you get to see your little one xxx

@ValidUser fingers crossed for you that this is your month and you'll get a BFP or your surgery will help make it easier for next xxx

@GemmaJen Huge Congratulations!! xxx

@Crossfitgirl I get the worry - if I were to get pregnant this cycle, I'd be terrified of the hydrosalpinx causing miscarriage. Your symptoms sound reassuring.

Salpingectomy is removal of the dodgy tube. Hoping he'll be able to clear the good one permanently. Apparently he might be able to close off the bad one with a clip or a sclerosing agent which would be a smaller op, and great!
