TTC First Baby Thread 19

I did my first FRER today and got literally the faintest line so have been frantically googling evap lines. Will test again but any second opinions hugely welcome.

@Daisydoodles92 - yep, was definitely lurking 😂

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I have to force myself to wait until next Saturday to test so it’s going to be a long week.

It’s seems a lot of you have been trying for quite some time so that’s really helped me set my expectations. For those that have experienced the losses I really do look forward to hearing about your BFP. It will happen!

@MrsEG totally understand where you are coming from, take as much time as you need and we’ll all be here when you feel ready to come back ❤️

@LarryDavid hope you have had an amazing time in NYC! Good luck for testing!

@Larrydavid - so jealous! NYC is my favourite place :)
Good luck if you’re testing; nearly 1DPO for me, so the TWW begins again...

Just catching up on this thread (and looking out for bfps 😊)

@purplefig - hugest congratulations- I've screengrabbed the recipe for your smoothies!!

@MrsEG - you're right there's plenty of time to make a decision if we wait till the end of next year to get married! (And a possible mini page boy/ flower girl 😍😍😍). So happy you got the appointment you needed too - your new doc sounds great. Take care of yourself whilst you take a break from here.

@starkid I feel like the only time I'd be 💯 happy in a body con dress is if there was a big bump to show off!

@FlapJackered I love the idea of a post wedding celebration! Milk this wedding! 😂 Also that pic of all your Frer's!!

@LokiCat yeah I think we'll carry on for now - I totally agree that it could be bloody ages trying. Fingers crossed for you that you get a bfp soon!

@Leodot thank you!!

@Lottiepink in my ideal world I think I'd have a baby first then a pregnancy free wedding but we'll see! I really need to up my exercise again - I've basically spent a week eating pizza in NY!

@ImMeantToBeWorking huge congratulations 🎉 so awesome!

@Daisydoodles92 sorry to hear about your loss. 💜

@careergirl86 welcome!

Sorry for long post!! My last day in New York. Hoping to do a test later maybe before I leave (or when I land in london!) not entirely sure how many dpo I am but I reckon about 12. Been so fatigued out here, I actually fell asleep in a comedy club - so embarrassing! Though could just be the jet lag! Fingers crossed for everyone on here - it really does make me so happy to see positive tests being posted.

@MrsEG you're probably already not looking at MN but just wanted to send you lots of virtual love and say thank you for all your kindness and support on these pages- you're a special lady who deserves your happy ending soon. Look after yourself.

@MrsEG - totally understandable, take care my dear xx

@MrsEG take care of yourself lovey xxx

@Lokicat thank you, am feeling less teary this afternoon, phew.

Thanks @ValidUser

@MrsEG and @ELW85 thanks! I know I need to stay positive.

@MrsEG Take care of yourself - will be thinking of you! Lots of hugs xx

@Fivebyfive2 what a gorgeous scan! That must have been so lovely to see! Such an exciting time!

@ValidUser that does look like a clear negative to me too. Fx for Monday!

support* even!

@MrsEG take care of yourself lovely. You've been a huge short to me this month. Thinking of you xx

@MrsEG, fair enough sweet, you need to take care of you! Sending all my love xxx ❤️🙂

@Fivebyfive2 I bet it’s such a huge relief, I can’t imagine. Enjoy the weekend x

Ladies, I am officially taking a break from MN for a little while. Had another blip this afternoon, not coping as well as usual the last 24 hours. Need a break from all phone/apps in general I think and get back to my counselling.

Will check back every week for sure to check on BFPs, and I have all my fingers and toes crossed for all of you - good luck ladies!! Speak to you all soon ♥️♥️

Thanks ladies!!

@Validuser, that's one of the better pics we got! They did a quick 3d type one, it looked terrifying! But it's lovely to think of little jelly baby moving around, heart beating away. I was really surprised how strong the heartbeat is actually! I'll be popping in still, keeping everything crossed for you this week 🙂 xxx

@MrsEG, thank you hun, we are feeling more at ease now, just knowing all is going how it should. I hope you have a lovely weekend xxx

@Fivebyfive2 Ahh what wonderful news! Internal scans are much better pre-12 weeks, and not nearly as uncomfortable as you’d think! I’m so so happy to see all is well. Hope you can go and have a relaxed holiday now!

So ladies! Scan went really well, we're so relieved /excited!! I was a bit worried because although they picked up the heartbeat straight away, for images they said they needed to do an internal scan! Apparently that's normal sometimes at this stage to see everything clearly. Little jelly baby is doing just fine, moving around and even measuring a day ahead so they put me at bang on 9 weeks 🙂

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Will be nice to join you all properly soon. Taking a more relaxed approach this time (she says!? Ha). Also, don't have a clue where in my cycle I am right now post ERPC so that's a massive factor at the minute.
@MrsEG I'm glad you managed to find some positivity in a crap day. Like you say we need to stay positive, although I can only try to imagine how difficult that is after 3 losses. Your consultant sounds amazing, it must be such a relief to know you are taking positive steps ❤
@careergirl86 glad I've not been the only one lurking in the background haha good luck with testing next week. I hope it's a smooth ride for you! X

@ValidUser - not sad at all! It’s so hard to hold out and I’m very proud of you; don’t think I would FRER (fair) so well. Christ; actually came up with a TTC pun.
Forgive me, ladies!!

Keeping everything crossed @ValidUser

Another high OPK this morning. Just glad my hormones are doing something! I don't hold out any hope of getting pg this month.

Bought a notebook and new pens for new role and started looking at bullet journals!

@LokiCat - about a week after Ov, you get a second surge of Estrogen, which causes a temp dip - nothing to worry about, but I found this out as I thought there was something wrong with my luteal phase; nothing to worry about, totally normal!
And thank you for the support :)

@ValidUser - looking promising!! Got everything crossed for you.
