TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 11!

@FivexFive how early did you start feeling 'damp'? (Feels like the weirdest question I've ever asked anyone 😂)

@flapjackered, you go girl, ride that train!! Good on your chap too!! Hope he's not too sore xx I'm feeling ok, no massive symptoms yet, just The Damp! Knowing I'm seeing a midwife in two weeks has made it feel more real. Just hoping all goes ok xxx

We’re doing SMEP and my DH is nearly broken... my app said my FW began on CD7 so I’ve been on his case since then, but I only ovulated yesterday (CD20). The poor lad looks like he’d rather do the washing up for a year than one more BD... I’m surprised they haven’t set up a support group!!

@FlapJackered give the man a break! 😂 he'll have none left 😂😂

Lovely DP came in from work in a very flirty and lovely mood. I'm glad he's as on board as me! Although I think it's a bit late in the month to make much difference god loves a trier doesn't he! I just want to test now 😫😫

@bettythecat, wooo!! See, The Damp was a sign for us both!! I'm so happy you got your bfp 😀 When you're ready, feel free to join us the 'catching up with those from the ttc thread' on the pregnancy board! Sorry I'm rubbish, don't know to link it while on my phone!!

Just an update, I called dr today, no need to go in. They told me to call Sure Start; I have my first apt with midwife on 4th feb. Apparently it might be a bit early for when I'm meant to go, but the next slot isn't for 2 weeks after, so they're slotting me in.

Oh and @flapjackered, I thought I came out with some stuff, but 'borrowing his equipment and giving it back after fw' is definitely a winner!! Xx

Wow so many BFPs lately!! You go girls! Congratulations @Bettythecat!!
Fx for the rest of you ladies. And lots of baby dust to you all ✨✨✨✨✨✨

I'm really struggling not to test. Debating getting a FRER to do Wednesday at 6 days early. I'm best just waiting till Friday and doing one then only 3-4 days early aren't I 😬😬 I don't have any patience at the best of times but this is doing me in

@FlapJackered @DuchessofPemberley @validuser ha! Laughing too. After DTD twice yesterday Ive just been told, whilst he is putting up a shelf, I’ll have to ‘hop on’ if I want it tonight! He knows he has to have it every day this week until Friday!!!!!! Romance is alive.

Congrats @Bettythecat!!!

Congrats @Bettythecat

I caved and did a test, BFN of course so I'm definitely just imagining symptoms roll on AF and the next cycle

Just in case anyone uses clearblue digital ovulation tests like me, Groupon has a good offer on 20 for £19.99. Not the advanced ones just the normal ones! :) I know they are pricey compared to other types of predictors etc but am sticking to what I find easy! :)

@Lozzlepop I'm glad your feeling better!!

@FlapJackered I've been creasing at this 😂😂 will be like a peperami by the time your finished with him!! 😂😂

@ValidUser that is commitment!

My husband is exhausted. I went in to cuddle him one night and you could see the panic on his face! I had to reassure him that I wasn't making any moves! 😂

Men! They wish for their entire lives to be married to an insatiable woman, and then when they actually are...! 😂😂😂

@FlapJackered not too far, it would be so much easier 😂😂😂

@ValidUser yes!! I remember! God that seems like a billion threads ago! 10 points for practicality though 😂

@Lozzlepop the month I put my back out, we did actually use syringes! 😂

So romantic. Very glamorous.

@FlapJackered we're all having quite a laugh at your expense! 😂 I mentioned your "twice a day" to DH and he shouted "how does he manage!?!!??" Your DH must be a crazed sex machine with a magic rod for his man bits.

@cupcakesandglitter @ValidUser this convo has me creasing myself 😂😂

Congratulations @Bettythecat !

CD26 today, bit of backache, I suspect I'll be moving onto cycle two before the end of the week.

@thumper59 I’m sure you will, AF has finished so feeling a bit more myself now thankfully and DP will be happy too 😂

@ValidUser I'd rather have wank + syringe over DH finishing and then having to kick him out so I can too 😂😂 TTC is not very romantic at all 😂

@FlapJackered 😂😂😂😂 I'm sure you've covered all bases, don't panic!! Xx

@ValidUser I'm hoping this is your BFP! 🤞🏽

@starkid you should be fine, I wouldn't recommend the Monday because it might be too late x

@Lozzlepop I better be able to! I need to do something to make this week go faster 🙄😬

I feel like @FlapJackered will be on the sex board next ' help I've broken my dp's dangly bits' 😂😂😂😂

@DuchessofPemberley yes so hard not too but no symptoms is good too. Just hate waiting around, this week is going to be a massive drag!!

@FlapJackered I totally agree with @KatBeCool I think you have yourself covered. Nobody times it perfectly every time and sometimes I think you have more chance when you don't try to time everything if that makes sense, sometimes less is more 😉 Plus your DH might be scared of his soldier dropping off if you've been at it a lot 😂
