TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 11!

@starkid @MrsAW2018 I also find the not knowing what's actually going on inside your body really hard. We obviously have clues from the OPKs and temping and CM but we don't ever 100% know what's happening and during the TWW even more so- I always feel so stupid for restricting myself with booze etc and symptom spotting when I'm never pregnant.

@MrsAW2018 - definitely agree it's the not knowing if it will ever happen that's the hardest

Hi All, I have 4 days of my pill left before I come off it to start TTC. Excited and nervous. We have waited for this for so long.

I won't be too upset if not pregnant straight away as we have a cruise booked for April with all inclusive alcohol!! but what's for you will not pass you!

Best of luck to all on here!

@Bettythecat yes it's so lonely, this thread keeps me sane! I remember someone saying on here a few threads back that if they knew it would happen one day then it wouldn't be so bad but it's the not knowing for definite that's the hardest part😔

@MrsAW2018 this is cycle 5 for me which I know isn't long in the scheme of things but as you all know feels like an eternity. I feel like my life is in limbo waiting for this to happen and it's such a lonely thing isn't it.

@Beddie11 you're welcome - I find the app much easier to navigate than the website! X

Hey @DayDreamer1707 welcome back! Hope you're doing okay!

@Scotslass55 sorry to hear you think you're out 😔when are you due AF?

@MrsAW2018 thank you! I wasn't aware there was an app lol, i have now downloaded it. X

Think I'm going to get back in the game!! Feeling much more positive after a couple of weeks off and my AF being all over!! We will get our little bundles of joy 💕

Cycle number 3 after MMC
Age 28
CD12 got a positive OPK, which means the weekend shall be fun...😬

@KatBeCool so sorry about AF arriving. Hope you’re being kind to yourself.

Looks like I’m out too. CD25 here and I’ve got my usual pre AF symptoms: bit of cramping yesterday, over-heating, tired, bit of bleeding today. Feeling a bit down as had really hoped this might be the month. Trying super hard to eat well this week for Slimming World so cant even drown my sorrows in sugar!

Hoping for better news for the other ladies coming to the end of the 2WW.

@Beddie11 are you using the app or the website? If you're using the app you just need to @ and then type the username. Not sure how you do it on the website though!

@Random2468 yeah now I've thought about it, I don't regret doing the FRER as I just want to know ASAP! Having never been pregnant before and trying for 8 months I think I would just be pleased to know it is possible despite knowing the risks of early pregnancy. Sorry to hear about your MMC, I've got my fingers crossed that this is your month, your temperatures sound promising!

@Bettythecat sorry you're feeling down today... I totally empathise with how unfair it all is. My mom found it really easy to conceive me and my sisters. I didn't expect it to take us so long to conceive😞 where are you up to in your cycle?

Thank you guys, think im going to give it until the end of January before i POAS although its quite tempting lol. Im sorry can you tell me how to @ people so i can answer/qsk indidually if need be? Xx

@Random2468 that sounds so positive! Fx you have some good news!! Remind me what cycle this is for you?

I’m feeling really down and anxious about it all today. It feels so far out of reach for me at the moment. I feel so confused and it feels so unfair that it hasn’t happened yet and everyone else seems to catch first time. I don’t know anyone who didn’t get pregnant first month, including my own mum and step mum.

@MrsAW2018 😂 whatever you need to do to keep the urges at bay and get through the day!
I know it's quite weird really but I have read someone on here saying it's easier to know it's a bfn by getting AF as there's the new hope of a new cycle rather than getting the bfn and having to wait.... also I'm a bit worried even if it was good news to know so early - so much can go wrong and I think the anxiety will be tough for me.. especially following my MMC 😫 But anyway...let's get a bfp first before worrying about all that hey! I'm quite jealous of these people that just happily get pregnant and only realise at like 10 weeks!

@Random2468 yeah I'm hoping it's just too early for the result to show. I've ran out of FRER now so getting some more either today or tomorrow (haven't decided when to go yet) won't do another FRER until Sunday/Monday anyway I don't think but will do an IC tomorrow just to satisfy the urge to POAS! You're very good not testing until Tuesday... I'm a POAS addict! I'm 9dpo and I just can't help myself lol 😁

@MrsAW2018 ooooh no! It's not over till AF arrives. It's probably just too early to know. When are you next going to test?

I have some hope as I think my chart is showing a triphasic temp pattern with the last 3 days all being above 36.68 and up to 36.98! Praying this may be some good news. FF thinks I'm 11dpo and natural cycles thinks I'm 8dpo so maybe I'll test on Tuesday.....

@MrsAW2018 - ah no, how frustrating

I now rearranged my progesterone blood test so it's actually at the right time in my cycle, so feeling more at ease now!

@Bettythecat it's where the test line shows up without the dye so it gives an illusion of a positive even though it's a negative as there is a line there. Mine is so faint that it doesn't show up on camera otherwise I'd be posting it on here immediately for opinions!!

@MrsEW2018 what’s an evap? Can you post a pic here?

Gah think I've got an evap on a FRER 😩 feel so stupid for doing it so early but I couldn't resist... don't know whether to show my DH or not as don't want him to be annoyed or to think I'm stupid😞

@starkid I know😩😂 the struggle is real... I just want to know! Xx

@MrsAW2018 - You know it's bad when you're spending christmas treat money on pregnancy tests 😂 fx for you xx

@MrsLBear ahh I'm so glad you're doing well! Don't envy you with the exhaustion.. I'm tired even now😂! Cramping is still there occasionally and I have just done an IC and it was a BFN. Period is due either Monday or Tuesday I think. Toying with doing a FRER either today or tomorrow but I only have one left. So I'm thinking about doing that and then going out to buy some more with my Christmas money I've got leftover! Can't make up my mind though!

@FlapJackered - yeah that's what I thought, well hopefully the doctor will get back to me otherwise I'm just having a blood test done pointlessly on CD16! Yeah I'm happy having the blood test as my luteal phase is quite short too so least it's one thing to test for to put my mind at ease :)
