TTC First Baby Thread 20

@ELW85 unfortunately in Scotland you can’t count on dry summers! Yes, he has his moments hehe! Oooh I love looking at house bits I actually have a home Instagram account 😂 fingers crossed that they stay up lovely! We are due to have a bbq with friends and then a 30th tonight so trying to decide what my excuse is 😂😂

@newgirl89 I used OPKs so the first month we used those we got our BFP, sadly we had a MMC so when we were ready to try again we done the SMEP plan this time around and had first time success! I just used the cheap one step tests from amazon and the Glow app which lets you take a picture of the result and you can keep track that way! ☺️

@ELW85 thank you very much

@Lozzlepop this is literally the first month so haven't got a clue about tracking. Any tips definitely welcome!

Hi ladies, welcome to the new ladies.

Sorry @ValidUser, hope you enjoyed the curry chips and prosseco.

@LokiCat and @ELW85 I sleep with the fan on 365 days too, it's routine and the sound I think.

Off to lunch with my friend who's just announced she's expecting her second, she knew we were trying so wondered how I'd take the news. Told her not to be daft.

@Lozzlepop - ah I hadn’t realised that! What a nightmare! Hopefully we have a dry month so you don’t have to worry too much about it :)
Aww DH sounds lovely! Pleased you’re getting looked after :)

Well today is more bathroom shopping for me and getting the FRERs collected for tomorrow’s testing party 🥳 haha!
I’m not too hopeful but my temps have stayed up nicely which is good.
If they dip tomorrow (they usually do a day before AF) I don’t think I’ll waste the FRER.

How about you? Any plans that won’t antagonise the nausea? 😊

@MrsH497 to be fair it’s the first major issue that we’ve had, all our other snagging is just superficial! How are you feeling today?

@ValidUser ahh lovely I am so gutted for you! You’ve been on such a journey so far and you really deserve that BFP although not a 5 headed baby 😂 take care of yourself this weekend and onwards and upwards for your next cycle!!

@ELW85 I think for the first 2 years everything major needs to go through the housebuiler to remedy 🤷🏽‍♀️ We’ve got pics and are on the case, thankfully the rain has stopped! Oooh yum to the toastie, I made DP go make me a tea and he came back with digestives for the nausea 👌🏻

@ hello and welcome 👋🏻 Always space for one more! Are you tracking your cycle with OPKs or temping?

@XjustagirlX it’s still early so maybe see if you can hold out till Monday if AF doesn’t show?

What’s everyone’s Saturday plans?

Welcome, @newgirl89 - definitely space for you! And you’re right, everyone is wonderful, knowledgeable and supportive so you’ve found a lovely group of ladies here!

@XjustagirlX - fingers crossed for you that spotting doesn’t show! When are you planning on testing?

I just took a frer. It was negative. I’m ok though as I know it’s probably too early to test. I’m only 9 or 10 dpo. I should see if I get any spotting today. My boobs are so sore though and I swear my nipples are bigger and darker.

Morning Ladies, hope you are all well.

Just wanted to say what an amazing group you all are - all so supportive and encouraging!!

Also congratulations on all the BFPs! It's so exciting to see / read!

Have you got space for one more in your group?!

Me and DP have only just started TTC. So very new to me. Would love people to talk to.

Have a great Saturday xxx

@ValidUser I'm so sorry. That sucks. You have an amazing, resilient attitude and it will happen for you. I'm sorry it wasn't this month ❤️

@ValidUser - morning matey, so, so sorry to read about that. You’re a wonderful lady with an amazing attitude and I have every faith that you’ll get your sticky little one soon ❤️ I know the chips and Prosecco aren’t much of a consolation, but be kind to yourself.

@Lozzlepop - a month is ridiculous. Can you go ahead with repairs via home insurance instead?

I’m about to embark on a day off ritual of a coffee and toastie in bed. Rock n roll.
I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday 😊

Oh @ValidUser so sorry lovely xx

So sorry @ValidUser :( i definitely saw the line so probably a CP :( xxx

@Lozzlepop we have a Taylor wimpey home has our fair share of issues! But I do love a new build

It's a smoothie I've had before as well

@MrsH497 that’s not good!

Come home to water pouring in again, Taylor Wimpey says they will send someone to have a look......in a month 🙈🙈 DP went up in the loft and confirmed we have a hole in the roof 😫

@Lozzlepop a smoothie just did not sit well had awful heartburn as well

@XjustagirlX i think you have to have quite high hcg levels for the OPK strips to pick it up ao probably wouldn't detect untill a week past period due. Not entirely sure though

I just went a bit crazy and read online that opk strips may be able to detect pregnancy. Something about the molecules LG and hcg being similar sizes. The opk will have a dark line if pregnant. Has anyone ever done this? I’ve just done it but no line showed.

@MrsH497 what was it you were drinking out of interest?

@LikeTheFruit I’m with you on the smells, things that smell nice smell absolutely amazing and things that don’t smell so nice make my stomach churn!

@Mrskcam deffo not to early to test 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX I have everything crossed for AF not turning up ☺️

@MrsH497 af due Sunday, I'm like clockwork.

@LokiCat af cramps here too so confused what to think

@Lozzlepop af is due on Monday and I usually get spotting for two days before so my spotting should start tomorrow.

@Mrskcam I don't think it's too early.
I had a bfp at 13dpo previously and will be doing the same again on Sunday!

My cramping keeps getting worse 😩
Constantly running to the toilet to make sure af hasn't started! My colleagues must think there's something wrong with me!
