TTC First Baby Thread 20

@LokiCat - thank you so, so much! ❤️
DH is at work so I’m sat in ecstatic disbelief!!
I realise I should have told him first but I just can’t and needed to triple check and make sure I wasn’t going mad!
Are you testing today? Got everything crossed for you xx

@ELW85 omg!!! I knew it! Huge congratulations! That is a very clear BFP!! Ahhh I'm so happy for you lovely ❤️❤️

Guys - I’m absolutely shaking but I think this is it???

@ELW85 Caroline is too cute!!

@LokiCat I am day 11 of this cycle. Cycles are usually 30 days.

Good luck all the girls testing this weekend. X

@FlorenceLane well I went to the drs in April for an unrelated matter (I still suffer from hormonal acne at the age of 25) and she asked if we were trying as it limits what they could give me and I said yes but nothing had happened yet. She said we would need to have been trying for 2 years before they would look at intervening. But I think if nothing has happened by the new year, then I might try and get an appointment to check things out.
@ELW85 @Maisy24 thanks both, just have to keep hoping. Originally I was adamant that I could only fall pregnant at a certain time due to the event season with my horses, but now I am beyond caring and just want it to happen!

P.s. took a test today (DPO 10)... BFN :(

@Eventrider1 aww well you are not alone. I've been to my friends baby shower today, which I planned, I am so happy for her and I done everything possible to make sure she had the best day but at the same time it's heartbreaking, because there is just no reasoning as to why it's easy for some and so hard for others.

I find what makes it harder is the constant questions from everyone asking when I'm having one, and the "you're not getting any younger" comments. I shrug them off but they really get to me. If we could all have them at the click of a finger then them questions would be ok but some people are just rude.

Let's hope our time is the next few months and I really hope you get your positive this month

Xxx

@Eventrider1 I'm 10dpo too!! Fingers crossed for you guys this month. I'm on cycle 3, but can relate to how you feel about everyone getting pregnant so easily!!! It's like no one around us knows the agony of failing every month... If things continue as they are, at what point will you seek GP advice? I've been wondering about going myself xx

Evening all! Currently distracting myself from tomorrow’s testing day with a Letterman interview of Kanye. Might have also had cookie dough...

@MrsH497 - thank you, she’s a sweetie! And what a gorgeous rose! It must be lovely for it to be your namesake :)

@LokiCat - garlic knots. Can ship some please? They sound unreal and you sound very talented!
Thanks for the bathroom tip - I’ll have a little google now :)
I hope you’ve had a lovely evening?

@Mrskcam - keeping everything crossed for you! I’m due AF Mon/Tues and am just hoping against hope these aches aren’t anything to do with her impending arrival.

@Eventrider1 - you’ve come to the right place for support and ladies who are going through very similar experiences, so welcome. Keeping everything crossed for you that this cycle is the one.

Hi all,
I have been a long time lurker but thought it was about time I posted something on here.
Im 25 and my DH is 39. We have been TTC since November last year and I think I am cycle 9 now. At first I was very relaxed about it all and expected it to happen quickly like all my friends around me but alas that has not been the case. I never thought I would be one to get jealous of other people but I feel like every week someone I know is announcing they are pregnant and I am starting to get that pang of ‘why hasn’t it happened for me yet’ and then I feel guilty for those feelings.
The last two cycles I have been convinced that I was pregnant each time as my period was late on both occasions for nearly a week but it turned up eventually both times. I am now 10DPO and praying that this month is my month.
None of my friends know we are trying so hoping to get some support on here so that I don’t go stir crazy!

Af due tomorrow. Keep running to the bathroom thinking she's here but no sign as of yet. We shall see

@ELW85 love the Caroline pics! She's so beautiful!

Could never get anything with my name on as a child so I'm well chuffed about my rose!

@ELW85 ahhh Caroline is so cute 😍😍 definitely keep updating us with her photos! It's been sunny here luckily.
I love Italian food! Found a recipe for garlic cheese knots, which turned out pretty nice and made a chicken pie to go with them.
Ah no, that's frustrating! We had the same issue when getting a new kitchen fitted. Have you looked at Howdens? That's who we went with and they do bathrooms as well (just need a builder with an account to get a quote). Their prices are around midrange.

@MrsH497 what a beautiful rose 😍

@throughthemountains tentative congratulations for your bfp! Spotting is supposed to be normal in early pregnancy. Fingers crossed the line gets stronger and all is okay 🤞🏽

Hi guys. Not really sure where I'm at. I was convinced I was due AF but I've just spotted here and there for a couple of days which has never happened. Took a test today and think I got a very faint line (posted in another post) but we'll see. Bit concerned that I'm still spotting.

Lovely rose!

Good luck for all the testers tomorrow :D

This is something to brighten up a cloudy muggy Saturday the Naomi rose x

Ah so gutted for you @ValidUser but like you said it has now given you the reassurance that it'll happen. Hope you enjoyed the prosecco!

@ValidUser I’m so sorry hun, I really want this to happen for you so badly! Your attitude is amazing and wishing you all the luck and the best of vibes with this next cycle x

Afternoon all!

I hope everyone is getting on ok?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo of Caroline, so here she is to cheer up a rainy Saturday afternoon!

I’ve picked up the FRERs just in case, but I’m feeling pretty crampy now after not feeling anything earlier so I’m pretty sure they won’t be needed.

@LokiCat - the toastie was amazing, DH has made sure it’s been a lovely day together!
How about making lasagne, so DH can have some later? Maybe I’m just in the mood for Italian food 😂
Bathroom shopping was good but still looks eye watering price wise. Boo.

@Lozzlepop - I reckon you’re onto a winner with dry for July?
We had lunch out before, and DH denied me blue cheese...just in case. I hope your BBQ gives you some nice preggers-friendly food that you don’t get blocked from 😂

@ValidUser, I'm really sorry hun, keeping everything crossed for you that it happens soon. You have an amazing attitude and are awesome xxx

@Lozzlepop to be fair since we had the gas leak and bath leak it's all been good and we've been here 4.5 years.
I'm ok today oddly. 8/9dpo today not feeling lucky this month though

@ValidUser I'm so sorry :( really had my fingers crossed for you, hope the Prosecco and curry chips helped a little! Good luck with the injections, and hopefully this will be your month x

@ValidUser I'm so sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself and I hope the next cycle will be kinder to you! I have all hope that you'll have a sticky bean soon ❤️

@Lozzlepop that's crazy that they won't come earlier than a month! Fingers crossed no more rain!
I follow so many home accounts on Instagram! I love getting bits for the house and doing ours up.
Hope you manage to come up with an excuse for tonight 😂 has your nausea got any better?

@ELW85 ooh toastie in bed sounds brilliant. I hope bathroom shopping is more successful today. I think I'm just going to test on a cheapie tomorrow. if I don't see a line I won't waste a FRER. Will then wait till AF is hopefully late 🤞🏽

@newgirl89 welcome to the group and the TTC journey! Do you know where you are in your current cycle?

@Imjustme2019 it definitely took getting used to when I first moved in with DH but now after 2 years it feels weird without it 😂
Enjoy your lunch!

@XjustagirlX sorry about the bfn! Sore boobs and darker nipples sounds positive. I hope the spotting stays away 🤞🏽

I have another day of varnishing the balcony as DH is away at work today. Got some tunes and a cold drink ready to keep me going! 😂
Going to look for some recipes to make something different for dinner tonight 🤔 not sure what I'm in the mood for! Any suggestions?

Hope you ladies have a lovely Saturday ❤️

@ELW85 @Lozzlepop as af is due on Monday I think I will still test tomorrow and Monday. I just can’t help myself. Obviously I won’t if I get spotting today or tomorrow.
