TTC First Baby Thread 18 Already!

@MrsEG hahaha I know, bloody typical huh but at least she is here and we can try again next cycle!! Did you have a good birthday? What's on the agenda today?

@FlapJackered @purplefig Thanks ladies think I’ll give it a whirl, can’t hurt I’m sure!

@purplefig Ooh could that be an implantation dip there?? You want your temps to keep rising the day or two before expected AF date and then you’re on to a winner - it should only drop just before AF, if pg it will stay elevated 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Lozzlepop Yaaay!! So pleased for you haha (although what a bugger right before your hols!!) - have a fabulous time and wishing you all the luck for your next cycle!

Morning Ladies, so got up this morning after DP went to work as I am working from home this morning POAS as you do, went to wipe (Sorry TMI) and guess what AF has arrived - not sure weather to laugh or cry as I go on my hols tomorrow 😂when I went back to the test there was a squinter of a line so not sure what that means? maybe just an evap as it is an IC and had to use an app to see it properly! CD 1 WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!

@ValidUser That's exactly how I feel!! After 9 mo this of nothing, not even a squinter, I think I'd be in shock!

@MrsEG I've been for 2 accu sessions so far and I really like them. My acupuncturist is lovely and it's so nice to just talk to someone about it all! But beyond that, the first period I had after was so much better than usual - less painful, I was less emotional etc.

I'm now 10dpo and temp still rising...,is that normal?! I woke up feeling very hot today 😅 tbh hits relieved I'm edging closer and closer to a normal LP.

@MrsEG I have just started acupuncture and I have to say I was very sceptical but after one session my ovulation day was brought forward by 5 days, and I can't think of anything else that would have caused that. So I am pretty happy with it. Definitely going to continue with it.

@LokiCat hurrah for the temp rise!! 😁

@cupcakesandglitter don't want to get your hopes up but that sounds promising!! When were you planning on testing? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@cupcakesandglitter How many DPO are you? Could you grab a cheaper test somewhere just to check??

@LokiCat Enjoy the work meeting!

Morning ladies! Had a temp rise this morning (but that may be because I got up half hour earlier than usual..) and some EWCM (first time this cycle!).
Off to the midlands this morning for a work meeting. Hope you all have a lovely day 😊

@cupcakesandglitter as @ValidUser said, could you pop into a Poundland maybe to get the cheap strip tests? It does sound positive, so fx for you!

Hi all, sorry to just drop in - thought I'd started AF earlier... nope. Big blob of cloudy EWCM 😩 don't know what's going on, don't want to waste my FRER

@MrsLBear @LokiCat Thanks ladies, it’s been fab - even DTD! Wouldn’t be a birthday without that though, surely ;) @LokiCat I LOLd at ‘the flip’ ahh the romance of TTC sex positions!!

@ValidUser TWW is just awful; I always try and keep myself really busy but particularly the first week of it just drags!!

I so agree with everyone above, I bloody love these threads - my fave little secret corner of the internet!!

Ladies who have acupuncture - would you rate it? I’ve finally found someone local with availability - going to ask the consultant on Thurs her thoughts on it, but wonder what you guys have thought/how you’ve found it? I’ve had accu before for physio / back issues but no idea what happens when it’s for conception!

@ValidUser I completely understand. When I got my previous bfp I was so shocked and it didn't hit me until a few days down the line that it was actually real. I'd assumed I'd always cry when I finally got it but nothing because I was so surprised! Rather seeing a bfn doesn't seem to shock me. As you say, it's normal to me now.

Just hope these two weeks fly by! AF due on 15th.

@ValidUser ha, tell me about it! Who said romance is dead 😂

I'm with you on tww dragging! If I take my OPK peak as ovulation day, I'm only 2dpo 😩
I imagine seeing the trigger positives makes you want the actual bfp to come faster!

@ValidUser we told my parents and best friends straight away and DH told his best friend. We would have told his parents but they were abroad and then I had the mc. I'm glad I told people as they were amazing support during the mc and I'll probably do the same next time. I think DH would rather not tell anyone, though. He's completely different to me and keeps everything to himself, whereas I can't hold something in for too long! 😂

@MrsEG sounds like you had a great birthday! I haven't had a 99 flake in ages. May keep an ear out for the ice cream van next time!

@Lozzlepop hope she shows up tomorrow! Not at all jealous of your relaxing holiday!!

@Dollywilde sorry you had an upsetting weekend. Of course you can be over the moon for someone yet feel some sadness for yourself. I really hope cycle 3 is the one for you ❤️

@FlapJackered 3 parties in London sounds brilliant! Fingers crossed for Friday.

Looks like we have a few testing/waiting towards the end of this week. Everything crossed for you all.

I have to say I agree, I love this group 😊😊

DH managed some energy for some sexing earlier, bless him. Not enough to be on top so he suggested another flip after we finished but I didn't want to risk.. mess everywhere 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Happy birthday @MrsEG!! Hope you've had a lovely day.

@Fivebyfive2 I think that sounds like a fab idea, how exciting!! Yes, hospital have told me scans before 7 weeks are actually really not reassuring as implantation times can vary so much that you often can’t see much before then and it just adds to the stress! So I think 9 weeks is perfect, you’ll get to see lots I’m sure!! Do let us know how it goes!!

@Validuser, I loooove this thread, it's why I'm still showing up like a bad penny 😃

@MrsEG, it was good thanks hun! Pretty much the same as before, except obviously went through what happened with the miscarriage. She seemed very positive about it all though, said it's fine to go on holiday on 20th 🙂. Hospital won't do an early scan, but she was very encouraging about me having a private one, especially as I'm now past the 8 week mark. We've found a place we like the look of, gonna book one for this weekend, I'll be 9 weeks just about. If we weren't going away I probably wouldn't have one, but will be good to know if all is ok before we go! I think dh really wants one too, so he can see for himself if that makes sense?? Xxx

Hello everyone, just checking to see if anyone else can see a line?

@ValidUser Thank you, I really really hope so! I’m actually quite excited about it - with my other two losses we were just left to it, it’s nice to know I’m getting some help now :)

@Fivebyfive2 Just remembered it was your booking in appt today! How did it go? Did you ask about the early scan?

@Lozzlepop I can't help but say it's sound promising for you.... 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Dollywilde sorry to hear you were feeling down when AF arrived but onwards and upwards to the next cycle Hun!!

@purplefig I don’t temp so just going by my OPK results on Glow which had OV down as CD23 I just wish she would hurry up already

@FlapJackered it’s probably Sod’s law huh it will happen the second I get off the plane ☺️ We are off to Majorca on Wednesday for a week of relaxation 💃 I will have everything crossed for good news for you! As long as the fish has been frozen beforehand then sushi is safe to eat so a reputable restaurant should be ok!

@MrsEG sounds like a fab birthday, an extra flake huh 😉 well you do need one for each scoop of ice cream! I might test tomorrow out of curiosity if she hasn’t shown up!

@ValidUser we didn’t tell anyone last time however if we are lucky enough to catch again then I probably would tell my closet friends and family so they are there as a support network should anything go wrong.

@dahlia123 I know right I’ll be moaning she’s not here then she’ll arrive and I’ll moan more haha! Thanks for sharing the article I wasn’t aware of this so good to know!

@Kiza according to Glow she is due today but so far no sign 😒
