TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD 10!

@Charm23 I’m so sorry to hear that, I hope you and your DH are doing ok.

@MrsLBear definite wife points there! Got to admit I’d have kicked DH out of bed though rather than going myself!

@KatBeCool I’ll be making a Yule log on Monday. I did red velvet last year so might go with double chocolate this year.

@EltzBee my cat chews the branches of my tree, but she doesn’t climb it or play with the decorations so I guess that’s something. We can’t have tree chocolates though cos she’s a committed thief so that would just end badly

@cupcakesandglitter I heard that ewcm before af is due can be a good sign, fingers crossed!

Ever feel like you're surrounded by pregnant women?!
Sat at work with 2 colleagues who are both pregnant!! With the question of "when are you going to have a baby"
😩

@03cclarke OH MY!!!! Congrats. Santa came early with an extra special gift!!!! xxxx

@MrsEG oh gosh! Last year our littlest kept climbing the tree and attacking the baubles. Our oldest cat just ignored it totally

@MrsR16 ah how annoying! My Fertility Friend app still says I'm due on tomorrow. I'm waiting for her to start so DH can book his flights to US next month, as I can then better guesstimate my fertile week. I think after our disagreement last night he now is just gonna go for one week, after I explained 2 weeks with 3 weekends gone is going to be a right pain when my fertile week can vary by a week!
I might have lost my cool slightly with being irritated. He tells me he wants a baby loads and then doesn't get why buggering off for two weeks might be a problem. Grrr.

Guys I'm sure I got a paint line on FRER this morning!!!!!!!!! Too faint to be seen on a camera though 👎🏼 I'm gonna do anotherNd update you later xxxx

Goodness me, ladies, this thread's hard to keep up with! 😂😂 welcome to any new ones! And it's great to hear from some graduates of this thread 😜

Flo's back up to her old tricks of changing my AF date! This morning, i inputted my symptoms for today and it changed AF to Christmas Day. Late this morning, I had some twinges in my stomach (god knows what they are), input that and it changed back to Christmas Eve! I'm just going with it for now and see what happens on Monday/Tuesday!!

@GemmaJen @cupcakesandglitter DH doesn't like strong chocolate flavor, so no double chocolate for me. It's looking more like raspberries, chocolate shavings, and cream for me, and vanilla cake.

@Delilah7 nice to hear things are going great for you!

Hi everyone

Stats for me
Age: 29
TTC #1
Cycle: 2
CD: 25
DPO: 12ish

Feeling the absolute rage and i have one sore and swollen boob! Probably just AF. OH had Xmas do and a colleague staying with us around O so suppose it's unlikely we will get BFP. Would be amazing if we did as it will be Xmas eve/day we test....if not AF will be coming for Xmas and she really was not invited!

Fingers crossed for everyone on here.

Hey @SullyWifey glad you're doing well, sorry to hear about MS though! Xx

So CD25 for me (I caved and checked Flo). Went to the loo, pants were super wet (odd given I've been bone dry the last few days). Wiped and had EWCM... thought I'd check my cervix and omg LOADS of EWCM!! 100% not from sex - what the hell is going on?!

Hi ladies, just wanted to say I'm still lurking and hoping every single day to see you all get a BFP on here. Sending lots of love and positivity.

Just to remind you it took me 11 cycles of proper timing to get my BFP so keep going girls! It's prob a huge coincidence but first month we used pre-seed it worked!

Just to say, it's not all lovely happy maternal roses over in the other thread. I have been super sick since 4+3!!! 7+3 today and no sign of letting up!! I feel it's my punishment for wanting this so badly and always being jealous of others who where announcing!!

Baby dust to all. Fx for Christmas Day xxxx

@Bettythecat

I just wanted to send you some hugs and strength after your sad message in the last thread.

31 is a fine age to be starting a family... I am 34 and most of my friends have started families in their mid-thirties. I am glad we left it a little as we had more time to be carefree and have fun!

Maybe it's worth telling your family you are TTC so they can be a little more sensitive about the situation. Then smugly knock back some wine and get as merry as you like!

There was some research on women falling pregnant, which found that after six months of trying, 81 percent were pregnant. And after twelve months of trying, 92 percent were pregnant.

Stay strong - another cycle, another chance, FX 2019 is the year for us all!

@Crossfitgirl ah I can imagine, just enjoy every second of it 😊 and also enjoy every second of your new bed!! I'm good thankyou, currently lazing around the house with a super sore throat, drank far too much this month but just relaxing and taking it slow. Just checked Flo and I'm CD26 so AF should be here Christmas/Boxing Day! More wine for me 🍷

Thanks for organising new thread @MrsEG

Me:
Age- 34
Baby- 1
Cycle- 4
Dpo- 4

@MrsEG we don't have our tree up yet either, that's this weekend's job. We got a new one last year that is pre lit so just have to put the baubles etc on it!

Our youngest cat thinks it is the best toy EVER so having it up any earlier when were at work is just pointless

@cupcakesandglitter remember though most people are already like 4 weeks at testing as they count it from the day of your last period! I'll be 7 weeks on Sunday and it's going sooooo slowly.
The house is also moving slowly! Although I've had the week off I've basically felt like doing fuck all, not even any washing let alone sorting! I can start feeling okish by early afternoon but eurgh i just want to sit and do nothing! On the plus side our new bed and mattress have arrived so we'll be moving to the master bedroom soon :-) how are you doing?

Morning ladies. Forgot to do my 'quick recap' yday so here it is:

Age: 29 (30 next month)
Cycle: 6
Day: CD28 - DPO11 (AF due tomorrow in FF)

Temp is mirroring virtually identically to previous cycle 'normal' so very confident AF is going to turn up imminently, probably tomorrow. I was looking at last months which had spike half way through Luteal Phase and then suddenly came on heavy 3 days early, and wondered if maybe last month we did catch the egg and something went wrong. Who knows eh!

Bit gutted as we DTD at all the right times, but hey ho, on to the next cycle (and a G&T...) Determined not to get upset this month, it is what it is. Fingers crossed for next month!!

Really congested today so worried I'm coming down with a cold! Took an antihistamine which I thought was helping but back to feeling all blocked nose again, noooo! Not for Christmas AGAIN! lol.

@crossfitgirl oh now I hope your sickness/nausea doesn't last too long!

Yes @MrsLBear get that Maccies!!! Fx you have a sickness-free Christmas! X

@Crossfitgirl oh dear, I suppose at least Baby CrossFit is cooking in there nicely! 😂 I can't believe you're six weeks already! Feels like yesterday you had your BFP! How's the house coming along? X

@cupcakesandglitter not so lucky now, I was so smug thinking I'd escaped but I've felt constantly hungover since Tuesday. Not been actually sick but just feeling nauseous and... I can't describe it any other way - that queasy feeling when you're hungover! I'm only 6 weeks though so probably got a while to get through it yet! So glad yours is calming down @delilah7.

@flapjackered well done on staying is chilled, i will be so happy for you if it worked!! When are you due now? Let me know when you test!! Xxx

Hi @Delilah7! Oh wow 12 weeks on Xmas day how amazing is that! Have you told all friends and family yet or are you having a big Xmas reveal?

@cupcakesandglitter @MrsEG oh for sure. I will be putting in my orders for tonight. Feet up, being waited on. Tbf I'm out tomorrow night and he's dropping me there and picking me up so... payback is a bitch. Might even get him to drive to mcds on our way home just cos I can.

@cupcakesandglitter always the way getting ill around Christmas. I'm so glad I had it last week cos I couldn't deal with work and being unwell. Having said that I bet I get something else xmas eve cos EVERYONE I come into contact with is infected!!

@Delilah7 that's good - not long left to go!! Hopefully second trimester will leave you glowing fabulously! X

@MrsEG so annoying, I'm not a sicky person so when I do get ill it's horrendous. Just as the time off kicks in too!! I agree with you though, @MrsLBear make him make it up to you! X

@MrsEG I'm hoping my symptoms are calming down with the sickness now haha. X

@cupcakesandglitter well sickness seems to be calming down. Don't want to jinx myself. I'm 12 weeks on Xmas day so... I'm getting there. But there's none of this pregnancy glow!x
