TTC First Baby Thread 19

@Imjustme2019 sorry I am only replying now - I used to log my period and sex - that's it. I would forget to log anything else if I am honest. I took the OV date as gospel (cause I forgot to temp last month) and as it was a Sat we DTD on Fri, Sat and Sun. Clearly it did the trick. That was cycle 5 of trying for us.

@Larrydavid!! sorry to hear you think AF came, especially after the line on the test!!

@Validuser I can see a faint line in one of the pics, I have often not seen lines on peoples pics and others have so I am not the best person to ask! As your in the same kind of area as me, what hops are you thinking of using? I haven't a clue yet and we have 4 within the same kind of distance.

@ValidUser fingers crossed. I can't see anything but my eye sight is rubbish and I can't make it bigger.

AF came today for me I think. So my positive must have been a CP. Boo. Onwards and upwards!

@Validuser, I can't make it bigger so it's hard to say, but it's so early... I'll be checking in to see your updates and sending massive bfp vibes your way!! Xxx

@Jooloo11 I don't orgasm everytime, but think maybe I should start doing that

@MrsH497 so sorry to hear it's a rubbish time.

@starkid, I know what you mean about trying to spot the symptoms, we all do it and say we won't. Fingers crossed for you.

@starkid - that sounds promising! Everything crossed for you!

@Larrydavid - exciting, look forward to seeing your next test but looked positive to me!

Guys my boobs feel like they're on fire 😣 and rock solid. Bloody uncomfortable! Not entirely sure if/when I ovulated, but possibly 7dpo, so countdown now/serious symptom spotting, much as I always say I won't 😂

@ValidUser keeping everything crossed for your testing this week too! Hope that trigger has done its job.

@ValidUser I tried to buy another test for the morning but the pharmacy was shut 🙄 but you're right, need to test again with fmu.

@LokiCat I'm not really sure. I think today is day 28 of my cycle. Maybe 29 (I didn't have a standard af last month, just spotting and light bleeding - I've had a coil for 15 years and am not in a regular cycle at all).

I think I'll try testing again on Tuesday if af isn't here and keep everything crossed til then.

@MrsEG sorry about your panic attack. Rest and TLC sound exactly like what's needed. I hope the counseling specialist is helpful and that you get your blood results through soon. Speak to you soon ❤️

@Larrydavid it's looking like a faint BFP to me. When is AF supposed to be due? May be early hence the faint line. From what I've read hcg is supposed to double every 48 hours, so may be worth waiting a day or two? Fx!!

@MrsH497 I'm so sorry to hear that. Life can be so cruel sometimes x

Thanks @Larrydavid @ELW85 @ValidUser just a really crappy time. My heart breaks for my friend who's now got to deliver her baby. Not the best few weeks.

@ValidUser when are you going to test?

@MrsH497 I'm so sorry to hear this.

@Daisydoodles92 @ValidUser I've just tested again and it's negative so I guess that must have been a cp or an evap line. Ahhh thought it was too good to be true!

@MrsEG take care of yourself. Panic attacks are awful and there's no shame at all in having them.

@MrsH497 - I’m so, so sorry. That is all absolutely horrendous.
I really hope you’re as ‘ok’ as you can be x

Just when I start to feel brighter in myself after the MC a friend at work suddenly passes away (32 with a 5 month old) and one of my best friends who is 6 months pregnant has just called us to say they have lost baby. How cruel can life get

Quick question v for you @ValidUser - I think you mentioned a few pages (threads?) back that you had issues with appendix internal scarring, is that right? Do you mind me asking if you had other surgeries as well to cause the scarring? Apologies if you have been through this already and I missed it! I had my appendix out and always wondered if it could have an effect, most things on the internet say it probably wouldn't affect TTC, I'm just always curious about the 'probably'!

I'm in my fertile week now.... I think someone else also mentioned a few threads back that they find it quite stressful, which I have started to understand - I do now worry about DTD at the right time, missing the most fertile days, or attempt the DTD 'flip' and then have spillage so it would feel wasted.

Personal q for you ladies (pretty sure we are all past personal q the things we discuss here!) - does everyone always have an orgasm every time during fertile week?? I know it increases pregnancy rates (by 10%?) but sometimes I really can't be bothered, especially when we're trying to do it a couple of days in a row... so I wondered how much you ladies bother? Of course maybe it happens all the time easily for you, in which case I applaud you, lucky things :)

@Larrydavid that is definitely a BFP! Congratulations 🙌🎉
@MrsEG I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Take some time out and look after yourself ❤

@ValidUser that's what I thought! Thank you for sending me a comparison. When are you testing for bfp? I'm not really sure how long my cycles are as they've not been regular since my coil was removed. So this could be a couple of days earlier in my cycle than I originally thought. I'm not getting my hopes up yet - will do another test later or tomorrow morning.

Thanks so much lovely ladies. I ended up having a very bad panic attack yesterday and had to go to hospital. I could feel it building but still not entirely sure what triggered it, but it ended up happening in the middle of Sainsburys (the shame). I’m resting today and have a referral to an early pregnancy loss counselling specialist who works alongside the RCM service at the hospital.

Will keep away for the next month until I have my blood results and then check back in with everyone again, hopefully to be trying again - wishing for two pink lines for you all ♥️
