TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 11!

Oh my god ladies can other people see what I see here? I’m freaking out....

Hopefully @AnnaMC214 😊

Omg @FlapJackered yeeees 😂😂 well going by my cervix I don't think I'm ovulating either, it's just a bloody long wait!! Glad you know exactly how this feels 😂 x

Ha ha ha! I see I am not the only one to have never known 'bone down'. Love it though!

I am trying to get my OH to 'bone down' tonight. Pretty sure I ovulated on Saturday and we have been busy in the bedroom all weekend! But just in case, one more time, in case that egg is still roving about...

Fucking knackered with it all though! 😜

@fivexfive

I always through DTD was doing the dirty! And BD was baby dance!

@Nextchapter19 Yes I'm the same. Came off the pill in November and had my usual withdrawal bleed..5 days with 3 quite moderate - heavy. Had my first proper AF beginning of Jan and lasted just 3 days! All very moderate compared to before.

@FivexFive - Bone down 🤣🤣 Love it. Made me giggle. Surely we should want Bone Up though - BU i know it's not a bone. Ohh I'm digging a hole. Lol. Moving on...thanks alot for the leaflet confirmation. I had read it all but my memory is like a sieve. I think it'd confused me about you not being able to buy the sticks separately so I'd thought you had to stick with the same sticks and holder if that makes sense? Thanks again. I got a flashing smiley this morning so hoping the static comes soon. The Flo app predicts Sat 19th as O day so we'll see if they match up.

Welcome to this crazy journey @sausageface

@cupcakesandglitter I really don't think you could have missed it then. Perhaps that one was less diluted or something so looked stronger. Also I know you can get mini surges at other times so maybe it was just one of those. Fingers crossed you get a good strong line soon!

@Bettythecat haha I'm awful at thinking up usernames but I thought it was unlikely something like that would be taken already!
10 days apparently til AF.. hopefully I won't be too neurotic in that time!

@AnnaMC214 I'm CD14 and testing three times a day atm, but just don't know how long to hold it in for 😂 all of today's have been faint again, so the dark one is an anomaly right now... hoping I get a positive soon, I've not done an OPK in months! Xx

@cupcakesandglitter what cd are you and are you testing twice a day? If you are then it seems unlikely that you could have missed it. I'd say it looks like it'll be in the next day or so. I generally test once in the morning before work and then again when I get home.

😂 Bone down is a new one on me too but will now be forever what BD gets translated to in my head! Now I see where it's from I love it even more!

@sausageface welcome! The more the merrier here. We're all on this crazy journey together

@FivexFive NINE NINE!!!! (Did you watch the new episode?!!!!) it was amazing!! Xx

Also following from my last question sorry lol, how often does everyone do their OPKs? X

@sausageface with a name like that how could we refuse?! 😂😉 I don't think anyone can understand the emotional rollercoaster it is until you've been through it! It really is crazy how obsessed you become right from the start! X

Ha ha I'm glad you all like Bone Down! It's from Brooklyn 99

Now that I think about it, baby dance is more fitting for the thread... I'm obviously just a gutter mind!! I love the 'clutches pearls' !! Man it's good being back on this thread with you ladies xxx

Can I join you here too? Cycle 1 of ttc our first. I thought I'd be pretty laid back/not really think about it during the tww due to just not expecting to fall first time, but oh my goodness! I'm 5 days in and analysing all these stomach twinges/pains that I'm getting that I don't normally have. I'm fully aware it's probs not going to be baby related but just proves to me I'm not as chilled about the whole thing as I thought! So here I am on the edge of my seat with the rest of you, if you'll have me!

Bone down 😂

@TrashKitten10 @FivexFive I thought it was baby dance too!! I think @FivexFive might have invented a new meaning and I think I love it 😂

@FivexFive

Cross post! Goodness I read BD as baby dance. Is it bone down?! I'm sticking with my acronym clutches pearls and goes for a lie down

@Bettythecat, no worries!!

Also, I'd probably scream at my dh just for suggesting salad, hormones or no hormones!!

@miyajima90

I don't know if there is an official list other than the main mumsnet one which explains quite a few but I think I've worked out the following from the TTC boards:

BFP/BFN- Big fat positive/negative (pregnancy test result)
OPK- Ovulation prediction kit
FMU- First morning urine (the wee you are best off using when testing)
FRER- First response early result (brand of pregnancy test)
CD- Cycle day
DPO- Days past ovulation
AF- Aunt Flo (period)
TWW- Two week wait (between ovulation and expected period)
POAS- Pee on a stick (take pregnancy test)
FW- Fertile window
CM- Cervical mucus
EWCM- Egg White cervical mucus
DTD- Doing the deed

I am prepared to be corrected however :)

Ttc - trying to conceive
Poas - pee on a stick!
Frer - first response early results (pregnancy tes brand)
Ewcm - egg white cervical mucus (we're all waayy to close on here!!)
Fw - fertile window
Af - period
Dtd - doing the deed. See also bd, for bone down!
Optk - ovulation testing kit
Bfp - big fat positive
Bfn - big fat negative
Dh / dp etc - dear husband/partner

Anyone think of any others?? Xx

P.S just screamed at DH for not making the right salad for our packed lunches 😐🤭... usually a tell tale sign that af is on her way when I start being totally irrational 😫

@FivexFive thanks for this! I've not had those before. Explains a lot as I was there wondering what everyone was on about with the flashing smilies 😂
