TTC First Baby Thread 21

@LokiCat - Thai is an amazing choice! I’m so pleased you had a lovely time, so deserved :)
I’m good thank you, really tired with the sorest of boobs and never know if I’m going to be sick or not, but I wouldn’t swap it! How are you, and how many DPO? Xx

@Makingawish - congratulations!

@Larrydavid - lovely to hear from you but sorry you’re not feeling great. Have you got your thermometer for temping?

@Larrydavid sorry SMEP hasn’t been successful so far! we are going to try it this cycle for the first to see if it work for us! What ovulation tests have you been using along with it? The IC ones never really worked for me

@Anny27 @Larrydavid thanks ladies x

Onto cycle 8....

Hey ladies, hope you're all well! I've been a bit quiet. Have had period pains for a few days now
and it just feels a bit crappy this month. We've done three months of SMEP (which has actually been lots of fun) but it's still disappointing when it doesn't work. I'm sure as soon as it's here I'll feel better.

@Makingawish massive congrats on your BFP!!

@flossy12 I'm going to start temping this month! I swear I'm ovulating later than I think

@Lemonysherbet I totally hear you! It seems that everywhere I look someone is pregnant. It's very bittersweet right now. Hope you're ok!

@whatsthecraic91 I'm sorry. Have a big glass of wine or some chocolate.

@Anny27 think it's something I might have to think about properly as really want to catch before late sept as got a hen do next year and won't be able to fly if I'm heavily PG but already paid £300 for it x

@Makingawish such a cute way to tell him :D

@LokiCat i am a recovering POAS addict. Our first cycle i must have used about 7 tests haha!

@whatsthecraic91 so sorry AF has arrived :( nice glass of wine and some chocolate to treat yourself xx

@flossy12 i find temping super useful to help me know when i ovulated. Its really easy as well :) i have the fermometer and its great

@Lemonysherbet ahhh pregnancy announcements from friends are aswell bittersweet :( x

Also not sure how good a deal these are but they're on offer in superdrug. I might invest in shares in frer 😂

Hey girls,

Happy hump day!! Congrats @Makingawish that's a super clear positive. 🥰

I'm having a proper meh day. We only DTD once in my fertile window due to me having a dodgy tummy but to be fair once is my fertile window is pretty good going for us. My husband doesn't have the highest sex drive in the world much to my disappointment 😒

Just found out another friend is pregnant. Obviously I'm incredibly happy for her, and I don't know her situation and how long (or even if) they were trying but I feel like I have heartache every time someone else tells me. My husband has noticed it too. It's like I can't control it. It genuinely feels like heartbreak.

Tomorrow is another day luckily, but right now I'm feeling pretty meh.

@Makingawish love the way you’re telling your DP so cute!!

@lozzlepop AF has just arrived, can’t believe it tbh.

Hello ladies,

Sorry for the late reply Mumsnet has just not been cooperating with me! How is everyone’s day going? I have actually had a really good day at work! Got a load of stuff to catch up on tomorrow morning then I have a wee half day from work so looking forward to that!

@whatsthecraic91 how are you doing?

@LokiCat belated anniversary wishes, hope you had a lovey day and nice meal ❤️ AF not due till the end of next week so still a while to wait! Does he? Hehe that’s great, my DP was sitting complaining how brutal it was, I think it must be a new series!

@Makingawish congratulations what a lovely line! Have you had any symptoms?

We have had massive thunder and lightning storms here all afternoon and the rain has been insane!

@Lottiepink do you find temping really helps then?? We want to go hammer and nail next cycle if AF arrives so I want to give myself the best chance, I'm going to order some OPKs but don't have a Strong enough thermometer 🙄 don't want to waste my money if they don't really make much difference x

@LokiCat I can't post my FRER because it's saying I've posted 6 images today 😭 I haven't though so I think MN is just having a fit still. It's very clear though!

@Makingawish post your FRER! I love seeing them  So happy for you!
That's so cute how you're planning on telling your DP! I'm sure it'll be a lovely reaction 😊

@Anny27 the cheap OPKs I get from eBay always come with 10 ICs, which are perfect for these situations 😂 I think Poundland do 3 strip tests for a £1, as well.
Although, it's probably better if I don't have them - I go crazy POAS! 🙈

Thank you @MrsH497 @Macbless 💜

I'm only 10DPO and got a BFN on Monday but I've just felt so tired the last week or so and just had a feeling something wasn't right! I used CB OPK to track ovulation so I must have either caught it bang on the day or maybe earlier.

I've just set a little light box out on the stairs which he'll see when he walks in saying 'Hi Daddy ♥️' with the tests laid out. It's so surreal not being able to talk about it IRL 😄

@Makingawish congratulations! I’m 3 days behind you. Hoping I get one of those too. Don’t feel any different to normal so have very little expectation. Away this weekend so not planning to test until AF due on Tuesday... if it doesn’t arrive! How are you going to tell your DP?

@whatsthecraic91 fingers crossed that AF doesn’t come! Xx

@Makingawish 100% see that beautiful line congratulations!! And only 10dpo that's amazingly clear x

@Anny27 @whatsthecraic91 @LokiCat thank you 💜 I just done a FRER to make sure and that's undoubtedly a BFP. I just can't believe it.

@Makingawish congratulations :D always perks me up so much when i see a positive on here :) :) :)

@LokiCat i need to get some ICs i have some frers which makes me hold on a little longer during the tww as i dont want to waste 4 pound for it to be negative haha!

@Makingawish definitely a positive there! Congratulations 😊x

@LokiCat ahhh really?! I'm struggling to believe it 😭 I had a BFN on Monday! Yeah I'm going to use a FRER when I can squeeze another wee out 🤣

@Makingawish I didn't even need to open that photo to see the line, that's 100% a positive!!
Huge congratulations lovely! That's a great line for 10dpo! Will you test on a FRER?

@Anny27 thank you! 😊 I always say I'll wait till AF is late to test, but then end up testing early with the IC 😂 if my temp is still rising, I may test next Wednesday!
I think less pressure makes it a lot more enjoyable. Have everything crossed for you 😊

Hi all,

Could I possibly borrow people's line eyes? The test line is 100% pink in colour and shown up within a few minutes. I've used tests out of this batch before and have never got anything more than a very clear negative. I'm only 10dpo. I've uploaded to PreMom and it's saying positive but I still don't know. Thank you in advance! X

@Lottiepink I haven't tempted a cycle yet no, just been following my moods, Cm and all that business, yeah I mean there's time yet but fingers crossed!!

@Anny27 I know 🙃🙃 for the last cycle or two they've been the same dates but this positive OPK has thrown them all off

@LokiCat yes deffo feel less pressure this cycle with SMEP! The sore boobs sounds promissing! Will you wait till AF is late to test or will you test early? P.s happy anniversary :D

@flossy12 ah how frustrating that all the apps have different predictions!

@whatsthecraic91 good going for waitingto test again till the weekend. I dont think i would have the restraint!

@Lottiepink yea my cycles are usually 28/29/30 but this is now CD33! I tested on Monday morning and it was BFN! Definitely waiting until the weekend to retest if AF doesn’t show between now and then!

No spotting today so far but a bit crampy don’t know what to think
