TTC First Baby Thread 21

@flossy12 enjoy every cocktail!! Sorry AF arrived such a bitch!

@LokiCat glad it's not just me imagining things as per! Yeah I'm ok so glad it's Friday been busy this week so looking forward to relaxing a bit. Will hold off further testing until next week I think.

@flossy12 sorry to hear AF came!

@LokiCat yep i am temping this month so i can make sure that when i think i am OV i am. Hope you manage to hold out testing as long as possible!

@Lottiepink thats the WORST when you test and then AF comes right after!

@MrsH497 ahh testing too early has happened to us all haha!

Has anyone else noticed that the more sex they are having the harder it is to notice EWCM? Before TTC i used to have very noticable EWCM but not its hard to tell!

@MrsH497 morning! I'm good thank you. I struggled to sleep last night, my mind was constantly wandering re TTC, which I know is not healthy. How are you?
I can't wait for the work day to be over, as well. Similarly, will be spending a rare weekend with DH so looking forward to it!
I see a faint line on the inverted photo, fingers crossed it turns into something positive!

@Lottiepink ah I wish I could be like that.. I get to anxious waiting for AF to arrive. I can be a very impatient person, unfortunately 🙈 I'll only waste ICs though, not the expensive ones!
Ha I loved Maura and her fanny flutter comments, she was brilliant 😂

@flossy12 that sounds great! Definitely enjoy yourself and some cocktails whilst you can :) hopefully Ov day will come again quickly! xx

@LokiCat @Lottiepink thank you huns 😘 going out for the day tomorrow and can have a couple cocktails now so going to enjoy my month before OV comes around again x

@Lottiepink ahh this is why I’m confused as now I’m thinking maybe I’m in my FW now rather than last week as I though. I’ve been trying to look at CM but there’s not really any so it’s difficult to tell! I do feel tired and moody though and have backache which is what happened last cycle the week before AF arrived. Who knows!! Will just keep DTD incase (and to help with those flutters) 😂

@MrsH497 that’s exciting! 🤞🏻 It’s more than evap line - keep us updated!

Happy Friday all!

@Lottiepink

@Lottiepink it doesn't come out on a pic at all it's an evap I'm sure nothing more exciting just odd I've never had one before.
We are having take out tomorrow and he's got some studying for an interview to do!

Morning @LokiCat how are you?

it's so grey and wet here!! Can't wait for 5pm when I walk out and get a weekend with DH!
Yeah 9dpo today. Well I stupidly POAS on IC this morning (I know!!) there's a super faint Evap line I think it's got no colour but came up in time frame. Never seen one on these tests before.

Anyone due to test this weekend?

Morning ladies! What a miserable grey start to Friday! Looks like it's going to be a horrible weekend weatherwise.

@Sunshine8888 I tried to feel for my CP for a few cycles and I just could not get it, but I suddenly realised what I was feeling for last cycle 😂
Definitely try after a shower, as it feels easier. Not sure what other tips I can suggest, I followed a how to guide online 😂
Not able to help re high sex drive, can't say I've felt that  I hope you and your DP have been enjoying it?

@flossy12 ah no, sorry to hear AF has arrived! Treat yourself this weekend and fingers crossed cycle 4 is the one! X

@Larrydavid ah great! I hope you find it useful too :) with the weather changes, not sure if an evening out in London is the best idea. Supposed to start raining heavily from 3pm! 😩

@Anny27 haha I think my DH has given up on trying to understand my obsession and has just let me get on with it! Yay for possible early ovulation! Do all the other signs (temps/CM) point to ovulation, as well? Enjoy getting busy this weekend 

@MrsH497 you're about 9dpo today, right? It's still early to feel symptoms! As you said last time you got them closer to when AF was due (same with me, my boobs felt really sore day before I got my BFP previously). Don't lose hope, fingers crossed it'll happen xx

@ELW85 awww that sounds brilliant! Have a lovely weekend with DH. You both deserve after the craziness you've had. I hope all has settled down now! Xx

Will anyone be testing this weekend? I'm trying to convince my addict side that Sunday will be too early to test (I'll be 10dpo), but with the number of ICs I have, I think she'll win 😂
Have a lovely day all xxx

@LokiCat @Larrydavid - date night is going to be wonderful; DH has booked The Lion King followed by mocktails and steak :)
More importantly we get a weekend together which hasn’t happened in over a month!
I hope you both have wonderful weekends! Xx

Good luck to all testing this weekend 🤞🏻

@LokiCat no more cramps today no symptoms at all so not optimistic.

@Larrydavid AF due next Wednesday ish so will hold out as long as I can. I'm not hopeful I have to admit bugger all symptom wise no sore boobs which I had last time (albeit 1 day before AF was due and they just got worse)

How's everyone? Almost Friday!

@Anny27 me too, ended up snapping at my OH today 😖

I have been so bad with keeping up with these messages recently!

@LokiCat @flossy12 i am the least chilled person when it comes to TTC haha! My DH thinks i am crazy....he probably isnt wrong!

@whatsthecraic91 if its not normal for you it could be a sign! But my AF sometimes starts with a few days of spotting

Welcome @Maria90 :)

I am pretty sure i am ovulatinf early this month (which is a bonus as it means a shorter cycle)

@Kiza it’s all I’m thinking about day and night!! Not really, had very sore nipples last week for a few days but not anymore, my boobs do feel bigger or it could be my imagination!! I’m quite tired too! I think I will just do that, a blood test would rule it completely out so I can stop obsessing!!

@whatsthecraic91 oh wow that is late, are you getting any other symptoms?
If no BFP or no AF by Monday perhaps go to the GP for a blood test to 100% rule out pregnancy?
You must feel all over the place... just wanting to know one way or the other!

@Kiza she was due on the 3rd/4th August!!

@whatsthecraic91 when is AF due? I noted mine down as spotting rather than first day of period as my period came on properly around the right time but the 10 days of ultra light spotting beforehand was so worrying!

@LokiCat thanks, definitely looking forward to a change of scenery!
@Larrydavid washed them away in the pool 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

@sunshine8888 - I go like that sometimes, not every month tho it’s a really weird feeling isn’t it! Like you can’t sit still 🙈😂

@LokiCat @ELW85 thanks for the recommendation- I've ordered one! It arrives tomorrow. It'll be good to pinpoint exactly when I'm ovulating! Enjoy your london tourist day lokicat!

@ELW85 Date night sounds good! What do you have planned?

@Lozzlepop I have a half day tomorrow too - I'm so looking forward to it! I'm good - feeling a little deflated with ttc but I know it'll pass as soon as I'm properly into next cycle. It's definitely a bit of a rollercoaster. Enjoy Florence! I love seeing her live!

@Macbless thank you! Going to throw EVERYTHING at it this month! Only got a few more months to catch - if we don't we'll have to pause for a bit so I can fit into a wedding dress!

@Kiza We did it for an extra day when I saw EWCM - we were also swimming a lot. I read somewhere that you should swim during fw though of course that could be nonsense (or I washed them all away 🙈🙈🙈) Enjoy Aberdeen!

@whatsthecraic91 hopefully testing again on the weekend will give you some answers!

@LokiCat suppose it could be implantation bleeding, I haven’t DTD since 28th July though don’t know if that makes a difference! Going to wait til Saturday to retest, if it’s BFN I’m going to take this as a super light period!

@LokiCat AF is already here 😢😩 on to cycle 4 we go x

@LokiCat I’ve been trying to feel for cervical position as well and monitor CM changes but I just have no clue! What is odd is that I’ve had an insanely high sex drive the last three days, I’ve never known anything like it! Like actual tingles down there 🙈 what is going on?! On CD22 and totally confused 😐

@Makingawish huge congrats!

@whatsthecraic91 @Maria90 @LokiCat thank you! I couldn't believe how strong it was for 10DPO in the afternoon too! DH was made up! He said he already had a feeling because my boobs felt different. I was like "do they?! News to me!" Still feels very surreal atm! 😊🤞
