TTC First Baby Thread 19

@ValidUser How amazing!! My consultant on Thursday gave me her work mobile and said if I were to fall pregnant before my results come in ‘Just call me, there’s always something we can try’ - it makes all the difference doesn’t it knowing someone is there to help you! Good luck for Monday x

@LokiCat It could still be an implantation dip at 7DPO; keep the faith! Hopefully it will start climbing again 🤞🏻 enjoy the weekend of food!

@ValidUser i’d say that looks totally negative to me. Fingers crossed for darkening this week!

Morning ladies! So I had a .2 dip in temp yesterday and then another .1 dip this morning. I'm 7dpo today - is this normal? I first thought implantation dip but then that's only a 1 day drop, right? I'm getting the feeling I may be out this month because my temp is all over the place... plus FF doesn't think I've ovulated since I didn't have my 3 day temp increase after ovulation 😩

@Daisydoodles92 Your post is so sweet. I'm sorry to hear about your MC. We'll be here when the time is right for you to start TTC again :)

@starkid Glad you got some answers at your the appointment. How interesting that they're able to see what phase you are in your cycle! I hope you get your referral through soon and that all is okay!

@MrsEG sorry you didn't have a good day yesterday, but glad you enjoyed the show! Your weekend ahead sound brilliant - enjoy! I'm quite partial to Jake Gyllenhaal - although I think Bradley Cooper/Ryan Reynolds are my pick

@ELW85 glad you got your peak and that you caught O!
Hope all goes alright today - good luck mediating and sometimes carbs are necessary!!

@Imjustme2019 So sorry AF arrived. Sometimes we need to get a good cry out to feel better, rather than holding it in! Enjoy yourself this weekend and I hope your new cycle is a positive one!

@careergirl86 Welcome and I hope your TWW goes by fast! I'm 7dpo today and just want next weekend to arrive already so I can get some answers!! TTC is pretty much a rollercoaster of emotions!

We've got a big dinner with mine and DH's families then off to a food festival tomorrow, so a weekend filled with lots of food. I'm very excited 😂
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! X

@MrsEG - happy Ov day indeed, haha! You inspired me though, so I’ve just scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom. Probably best I’ve gotten rid of my pent up energy before the ‘session’.
You’re right, there isn’t a right or wrong, it’s just entirely individual emotions. DH’s mother is a combination of stubborn and rash, which is I think how this scenario occurred...I’ll update later

@Imjustme2019 - you’re welcome and thank you. It’s going to be a case of time needing to pass I think :)

Thanks @MrsEG and @ELW85 you've really boosted my mood with your support.

Best of luck for today @ELW85 too, hope it settles soon. Men can be really sensitive about those types of things, he'll get there I'm sure. Kind of you to mediate.

@careergirl86 Hello and welcome to the madness of TTC!

@ELW85 Happy Ov day haha! Oh GOSH what a horrid situation. There’s no right or wrong really is there?! I bet you’ll be able to cut the air with a knife... enjoy the mediating!
I’m loving the cleaning, I’m also reorganising all of DH drawers/cupboards as they’re such a mess and I’ve wanted to get my hands on them for months!
Also, Pho is SO simple but looks so impressive it’s my go to dinner party dish! When all it is is broth, veg, noodles and an egg - genuinely getting the soft boil on the egg right is the hardest part!!

@Imjustme2019 Definitely Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, it’s a minefield on its own! I’m sure @purplefig can help with what some of the smoothie ingredients are too :)

Thanks @MrsEG part of the withdrawal from the SSRI that I'm experiencing is outbursts of crying too so it's just heightens it with all your normal hormones that you get then too. Managed to keep it together just at work but when I get home anything can set me off happy or sad. I'll check he's taking a multi one too. He worries I put too much pressure on myself so will do it covertly . We definitely need to eat better, trying to shop for the smoothie ingredients at the moment, having to google some to find what they mean, green protein, superfood greens etc @purplefig, might need to check with you again.

Hi @careergirl86, I just joined yesterday, similar scenario to you, TTC since Sept, you're right it's such a rollercoaster

@MrsEG @Imjustme2019 - I’ve not had a temp rise yet as I think it most likely happened early hours of today, so expecting the temp rise tomorrow.

So that totally lines up with your thoughts, @MrsEG in counting O as today :) thank you!
And how talented are you with your homemade pho? Awesome!
Cleaning can be so therapeutic, especially when it’s rewarded with lovely food and a Netflix session that you can totally buy into! 💯 with you on your choices - sounds like a fantastic weekend!

We are off to visit the MiL today which isn’t going to go well. We lost my FiL completely out of the blue just over a year ago, and now MiL has broken the news that she’s met someone.
DH isn’t taking it well, so I’m going as a therapist/mediator.
This will require wine, which is off limits, so expect me to commit carbicide later 😂

@careergirl86 - welcome!

@Imjustme2019 - sorry to hear you’re feeling low; I think we’ve all been on that emotional rollercoaster, and some certainly more than others, but as the lovely @MrsEG** says, we will all get there.

@careergirl86 - welcome to the group! We had 2 BFP's in last couple of days so fingers crossed for more soon :)

Hello lovely ladies!

I’ve never joined a forum like this but since TTC I have spent hours reading your conversations and I’d love to join you all of you’ll have me!

I’m 33 and TTC baby #1. We are only 2 months in and currently 5DPO on 2nd cycle. What an exhausting crazy ride this is!!

What I look forward to most is seeing the BFP come through for all of us!!

@ELW85 I personally count it as today/day of - I could be wrong but that’s what I’d do! Thank you - weather is so miserable but DH is away this weekend so cleaning the house, will later make some homemade Pho and have a netflix sesh where I can watch ONLY WHAT I WANT TO WATCH (I’m thinking something starting Jake Gyllenhaal). Do you have much planned for the weekend?
Oh also I’ve seen Les Mis a few times it’s one of my faves - you’ll love it!

@Imjustme2019 AF is so shit, have a cry and allow yourself to feel a bit sad but don’t get too down on yourself - it just wasn’t your month! You can throw yourself in to your next cycle. My DH takes zinc and Vit D but I think a multi Vit would be fine. I do all the cooking so while TTC he’s been eating healthy whether he likes it or not (although he did try and smuggle a Greggs wrapper past me the other day...)
Don’t worry - it takes time, but you’ll get there x

@starkid It’s so good!! Oh I hear you on the impatience - already counting down the days to my results. I just wanna know!!! Hang in there - we’ll get through it!

@MrsEG, glad you enjoyed The Book of Mormon, I really want to see it, can't beat belly laughter.

@ELW85 are you talking about your temperature increasing overnight for CD13? I thought that your temperature surged after you ovulate which if it surged by the CD13 it would mean your ovulation day would be CD12. I could have got it completely wrong so do correct me.

You'll get there @starkid, we all get impatient waiting, hopefully it's not too long for you.

Stupid AF arrived today, bang on time, had a little cry, felt really down, I know it's silly. As it's the first month I've been off the SSRI, I don't think I actually ovulated (no EWCM, sorry for TMI), the same happened in September when I reduced my dose then. Didn't stop me hoping that I could still conceive this month.

I think I might book myself in for acupuncture and try the smoothie for the next month ahead. Does everyone's DH/DP take a conception vitamin? Mine takes cod liver oil, but I'm wondering if we should look at him taking something, he's not much of a healthy eater unless I make him.

Hope you all have a nice Saturday.

@MrsEG - sorry you had a bad day yesterday but great that you got out to a show :)
I’ve just booked Les Mis as a surprise for DH; not seen it before but very excited!

I hope today is better for you :)

Can I ask you ladies for your logic please?My peak yesterday (CD 13) has gone to a high, probably overnight, so would you count O as today (CD 14) or yesterday?

Also love Book of Mormon!😎

Thanks for messages 😊 am so impatient with waiting for the next steps! 😣

@ValidUser It was SO good, I would so so gladly go and see it again!

@starkid Glad you’ve had some answers today and I really hope like you say it’s nothing sinister. Hope your referral goes through quickly! I have had SO many internal probes at this point, I’ve lost count. You get used to them eventually haha!

@FlapJackered Lots of love to you, enjoy your month and look after yourself xx

@Fivebyfive2 Oh gosh what an awful dream!!! How’s your relationship with MIL? Mine.... isn’t the best aha! Sounds like the kind of dream I’d have (she’s lovely but mother’s DH terribly, I will never be good enough...) Yes please do update us tomorrow!

@Daisydoodles92 What a lovely post, so sorry for your loss - I’ve been there. Like you say, you wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I try to keep hopeful and positive (even on my really shitty days) that it will happen. Look after yourself and MN is here for all the support you need!

Didn’t have a particularly good day today. One of the bad ones. But just went to see Book of Mormon with a friend and it was hilarious. Belly laughed all the way through - exactly what I needed! Have great weekends all x

@Daisydoodles92 what a lovely post, so nice you felt it was time to post.. looking forward to hearing from you again.. when the time is right 😊

What a lovely post @Daisydoodles92 :) welcome (back)!

Thank you @ValidUser
🙏🤞 for you next week!

Hey
Another new girl here...ish!
I've been lurking since end of November/ December when started TTC. Had MMC end of March and ERPC end of May due to retained tissue. Not quite back on the TTC yet but I'm lurking again 😂. Was so happy when I realised the same "TTC first baby" thread was still going...I must seem like a right weirdo haha.
I recognise so many of you that got your BFP around the same time (Thread13 🤔) and have also now experienced MC. Not felt the need to post anything before as there's so many supportive pros on here to answer everyone's questions. Lovely to see some BFP today. You're such a supportive group of ladies.
I will probably mostly be lurking but I love seeing the BFP and hopefully can share my own with you all one day...fingers crossed we all graduate this thread ASAP. I see a pregnancy post on Facebook and I'm like it's not fair not another...I see it on here and I'm like yesss! I love seeing them, especially after heartache, although I wish it didn't happen to anyone else ever. Unfortunately it does and the only thing we can control is giving each other support and the next ladies hope, which some of the recent graduates have done for me.
You may not hear from me often, it's hard to keep up sometimes, but I'll contribute a bit more when I'm back on the TTC bus properly. ❤
