TTC First Baby Thread 20

@XjustagirlX - great news! Let’s hope I’m not far behind you :)

@orangeloo - ah sorry mate, I didn’t even know there was a score like that on there!
Is it just based on symptoms?

@Fivebyfive2 awww that picture is lovely. It’s crazy how baby like he/she is after only 12 weeks.

Update - my solid smiley arrived this morning. Finally! So now I need to DTD today, tomorrow and Thursday (and we did it yesterday too). SMEP is hard. Wish me luck 😫

Morning guys.

Lovely scan pic @Fivebyfive2 must be such a lovely feeling.

Fertility friend users. Does anyone recall what the highest pregnancy score they've been given is and not been pregnant? Mine is 79 today the highest I've ever had. Pretty sure I'm not pregnant though as I tested on a FRER at 11DPO and BFN and I have my usual pre af spotting now.

@Fivebyfive2 I'm good thankyou - I'm rubbish at it too but it NEEDED doing! The couple that were here before very obviously didn't look after it, I couldn't take anymore of a crappy overgrown mess so just decided to keep myself busy with it. We've not been tracking or anything this month so I guess it's worked!! Oh my god how adorable 😭 good on him 😏 how're you? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter, hi sweet!! How are you? I'm impressed you've done your garden, I absolutely sucj at gardening!! I knew we were close together on the map! My brother has already said he's ordered an Aston Villa baby grow 😂

@Larrydavid - pizza and Glasto both sound awesome! I would have loved to have seen Stormzy :)

@Fivebyfive2 - congratulations- lovely scan photo!

@Lottiepink - seems we’re all having weird OPKs this month! Good luck with it and hope you get an answer soon!

My OPKs went to high earlier this evening so I have no idea if I’m gearing up for a late Ov or missed the surge. Time/temps will tell I guess!
Gonna DTD tonight to make sure we’re covered :)

Just checking in...
@Fivebyfive2 what a beautiful sight 😍 I bet you are over the moon!

@LikeTheFruit congratulations 😊 lovely news! Hard when going to the wedding tho, especially if you would normally drink. I would be screwed as everyone knows how much I love a vino 😬 see how you feel, maybe give yourself up to a week before and see if you feel it's a good time to say?

@Larrydavid pleased you enjoyed glasto, was watching it on tv a bit over the weekend, looked fab! I get the ewcm a few days before opk is positive but it seems to lessen between then and ovulation, but think that it's more it stays in and not come out as dh notices I'm more slippy 🙈 tmi 🤣

@orangeloo gave me a laugh too, Hope your dh sperm analysis goes well tho, we are getting booked for my dh to get his done, and I've told him the exact same, think it makes them feel a little bit better about it all 😊

@MrsEG I'm sure I'll be back on before Friday, but really have my fingers crossed for you for Friday 😊

I got a positive opk this morning, negative tonight, so think I maybe missed the surge over night? Got a few twinges which are quite strong. I would say from how I feel that I'm going to ovulate tonight? But will have to dtd and wait for temps.. my apps saying Wednesday tho... we will see 😊

@Fivebyfive2 omg congrats!! Lovely scan pic ❤️ I did admittedly see this on the other thread but I've been silently lurking for a bit 😂 ps you were round the corner from me, I'm less than five mins from where you had it done! Told you we lived close 😂 xx

Hope all you ladies are okay, sorry I've been a bit silent - finally getting my bloody garden sorted!!! Xx

Hi all! Just to update, I had my 12 weeks scan today, they put me at 12 and 5 which is awesome!! All good, feeling super relieved and very excited!! I'll still be popping on to see those bfps!! Xx

Whoops posted too soon

Thanks @Larrydavid hope Glasto was fab!

@orangeloo that's so much, and also thanks for the sperm laugh!!

@ELW85 I'm in my gym gear eating pizza! (Seems very unlikely that I'll head to the gym today!) highlights were Kylie and the streets - both were so unbelievably good (and completely different from each other!) How are you doing?

@Larrydavid - welcome back! What was your Glasto highlight?
Jealous of your pizza - I’ve just put my gym gear on :(

Hey ladies! Hope you've all had a good week!

@LikeTheFruit huge congratulations! 🎊 so exciting

I survived Glastonbury- I managed to keep to SMEP (apart from the last DTD - which frankly was too inconvenient as I was running around a field!) I'm not convinced I really know when I'm ovulating- OPKs say one thing then (tmi) EWCM follows days later! Anyone else had this?

But I'm feeling pretty chilled about it. I might be 5dpo - I don't think I'm going to test this month because last months CP was a bit crappy. But we'll see!

How is everyone doing? Going to read back through posts whilst I sit on the sofa with a pizza!

@starkid - nice to hear from you :) I hope you’re doing well and everything crossed that you get a BFP before September!

@LokiCat - I think the Pregnacare has enough B Vit in to help with progesterone/LP issues but not enough to suppress Ov.
I’ve been taking 100mg of a B complex on top to try and improve my progesterone but I’m now thinking it’s suppressed my Estrogen too much.
Lessen learned!
Hopefully it’s got a short half life so will be out of my system soon!

@ELW85 @LokiCat
Thanks ladies 
I'm glad I raised a laugh haha xx

@orangeloo apologies, that should say your DP*

@starkid oh no, sorry the appointment isn't for a while! Best of luck for your DH's SA, too.
Hope these next few weeks go by fast for you!

@ELW85 hmm that's interesting. This is the first month I've been taking the Pregancare tablets and I'm wondering if that's what's causing my weird cycle/ovulation delay (I saw quite a few people mention that in reviews). I may go back to the folic acid tablets I was taking before as my cycles were normal then!!

@orangeloo haha spermatozoon made me giggle out loud in the office 😂
Hope this week is better - sorry you had a stressful week! Good luck to DH for his SA tomorrow. I'm sure your reassurance will help him a lot. Fingers crossed all is okay 🤞🏽

Hi everyone, me again. Just had a quick browse and saw a few BFP's, so congrats to everyone!

Just an update my end, my fertility specialist/gynaecologist appointment with DH isn't until end of Sept so nothing for me to do until then but keep plodding along... DH is getting his sperm tested in a couple of weeks though.

Stats currently are Cycle 12, CD18, 3DPO - and distracting myself as usual rather than getting hopes up!

Will probably lurk on and off, but best of luck & fingers crossed to everyone as usual xxx

@orangeloo - you’ve just cheered me right up! I reckon your DP would be less nervous if you started calling it spermatozoon 😂

You sound very supportive and although I’m sure everything will be fine with it, reaffirming that you’re in it together is exactly what he’ll need 😊

DH is putting his SA off - he’s just not comfortable, which I get. He’s got a daughter from a previous marriage and now that my bloods are back ok, I think his mind is racing.
I’ve been doing similar to you and telling him that nothing could change us, and we will be parents no matter what happens :)

Did not mean to write spermatozoon haha

Weirdest wrong/right autocorrect
I meant sperm analysis

@ELW85 oh no!! I really hope not as I've been taking them too this month. I'll see when af comes if this cycles longer.

Hi guys, been away for a while due to shitty stressful week but hoping I'll be able to keep up a bit more now.

DP's spermatozoon analysis is tomorrow I'm pretty nervous and sure he is too although he doesn't say much. Just gonna reassure him that whatever the result I love him dearly and we are in this together and there are things that can help.

On a plus I'm spotting less before af this month which is great and I think may be the supplements.

@LikeTheFruit massive congratulations x

I’ve just done a load of reading and apparently B Vits can delay Ov!
Immediately puts them in the bin

@LokiCat I think I'll keep quiet for 1st one and let husband help me with my drinks. Second one I think I'm going to tell ( she as close to a sister as I've got). Luckily there's lots of room round tummy so bloating should not be too bad just worried I won't be able to zip up over boobs!

@MrsH497 they're at least a third to a half bigger already!! The dresses are all off the peg so don't have a maker. I'll need to research some local tailors I think just in case. It's in 3 and a bit weeks.

@ELW85 I really hope so!!
