TTC First Baby Thread 21

@whatsthecraic91 thank you lovely happened in May. Emotions still catch me off guard sometimes but we are trying again and 🌈will happen.

Good luck with testing!

We did ok until the 3 days in a row and life took over and just couldn't do it. If we aren't successful this month we will try again

@MrsH497 sorry to hear about your loss I didn’t know

I’m due to test tomorrow/Monday, super nervous tbh, tested Tuesday it was BFN - probably too early!

We are going to try SMEP next cycle if AF arrives, sounds like hard work tho!

Hey ladies we are back from our friends wedding what an emotional day! Bride herself has experienced a loss (ectopic) she was so lovely. Her mum even came over to say how sorry she was to hear about our loss. Bride at the end of the night asked how I was and I cried! Our other friends who've recently had a stillborn were also there and struggled as well. Beautiful wedding and I am so grateful for them all as friends.

Anyone due to test?

We didn't do very well at SMEP!

@whatsthecraic91 let us know if you test :D We are on cycle 3 :)

@Lottiepink i am the same - only tell DH that its one of the higher chance nights if he isnt in the mood haha! Hope the TWW goes fast for you!

DH is at a friends bbq today so its just me and the cat! Not got much plans, probably do a bit of cleaning (oh the excitement!)

Happy Saturday ladies! I've been used to not coming on here so forgot to check back in! I went to Mexico in may for my bils wedding so had to pause for 3 months due to Zika risk. Back on it now and we actually DTD in my fertile window! Nice to feel like I'm back in the game. Doing lots of DIY today, I'm exhausted!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

@LokiCat I’m 1DPO too haha the only time you’ll hear me utter those words lol!

@whatsthecraic91fingers crossed for you lovely

What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend?

@anny27 I’ve never ever had sore nips before so could be a good sign! This is cycle 7, I come off my pill on Christmas Eve, taking much longer than I hoped it would. How long have you been trying?

@whatsthecraic91 sore nipples sounds super promissing! Fingers crossed for testing on sunday/monday then :D how long have you been trying?

@Anny27 AF due tomorrow/Sunday so I will test if she’s late! Feeling emotional today and have extremely sore nips so 🤞🏼 I have a feeling that she will come even tho I don’t feel like she is!

@LokiCat sounds like you have done all you can do this month :D now time to try and relax during TWW! I am cd4 so probs one more day of AF and then on to DTD!

Anyone testing this weekend? @whatsthecraic91?

Thanks my dear @LokiCat! DH seems to have come round a bit too, so hopefully he gets some time off this weekend to relax :)
Got everything crossed for you it flies over 🤞🏻
Are you relieved the SMEP is done? 😂 xx

@ELW85 ah no, sorry it was a bad day yesterday, but I'm glad you're feeling better.
Thanks lovely, just hoping these two weeks go by quickly now! Xx

Sorry I missed loads of posts yesterday for some reason?!
I had a rubbish day, so I obviously wasn’t paying attention!

@LokiCat - I’m doing loads better than yesterday (crazy ex wives) thanks! Lion King sounds great; we’ve still not gotten round to seeing it!
Fingers crossed for those temps for you 🤞🏻 Xx

@PippaPug - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/3629552-catching-up-with-those-from-ttc-thread-5

Morning and happy Friday! Ended up going to see The Lion King last night after dinner. The original will always be better, but I still loved singing along to the songs 😊 also managed to DTD last night as well.
1dpo today according to apps, but FF is waiting for three temp rises to confirm.

@Lozzlepop Fingers crossed you haven't caught it and you'll be okay 🤞🏽

@Lottiepink thanks! Fingers crossed for you too. Looks like you've covered your bases - now we just need to get through the dreaded tww together!! I think we're going to try once more tonight to be completely sure 😂

@hopeandpray1988 thank you! It was a lovely night, DH has been working so many late shifts so it was much needed to have some time together :)
I think that's a great idea. It's so easy to stress yourself wondering what each rise/dip means. Hopefully all will be okay at your scan!

@Macbless that's great! It does feel nice to finally have some pressure off. I'm due on the 16th, so will most likely be testing around the same time. Hopefully it's a lucky week!
Your weekends away sound brilliant - hopefully enough distraction from the TWW 

@Anny27 yeah I was thinking the same, get something small. It's so much easier rather than trying to think of an extravagant present each year 😂
Your plan sounds great. Haha it is funny how all plans to have a relaxing TTC journey go out the window. I'm too controlling to just leave it up to chance 🙈
Are you still on AF?

@Imjustme2019 sorry to hear that DP is stressed. I hope all is okay?

Meeting some friends to go to Swingers crazy golf (thought I should clarify 😂) after work. Have a brilliant Friday ladies - so happy the weekend is almost here!!

Morning all - happy Friday!

@hopeandpray1988 - definitely stop temping, I was given that advice a while ago and I’m pleased I did :) you’ll need your rest and it can fluctuate so don’t let it occupy you unnecessarily!

@Imjustme2019 - yes, it was amazing thanks! I hope you’re ok?

@ELW85 so pleased for you, a little heart beat is amazing.

@Lozzlepop glad to hear your cycles are getting back to normal quickly.

Not sure if we'll get to do SMEP DP very stressed at the moment.

@LokiCat we did paper last year but think we will just do a token small gift and then a day or weekend away as thats always so much more fun than a gift :D

@Lottiepink you have been doing well - did you do SMEP?

@Macbless i totally know what you mean with the pressure of DTD on the fertile days. Think my DH feels the pressure as well as usually he is in the mood a lot more but its taking its toll on us!

@naylor19 it might be best to ask on a pregnanct thread as most of us ladies are still ttc and have never been pregnant. Hope you find your answers :)

This month i am thinking of DTD every 3 days at start of cycle untill it gets to my apps "fertile week" prediction and then go to every other day and then when i get peak OPKs probs a few times in a row (i remember before ttc i said i would never be one to schedule DTD......yet here i am 😂😂)

@LokiCat we did manage to DTD again. Today my app says not fertile and it’a Nice to feel the pressure is off! It definitely changes how I feel about DTD! App currently predicting AF for 13th August but got some nice plans for a London weekend and a weekend in centre parcs before then!
@hopeandpray1988 sounds like a good plan to stop temping and get some rest.

Afternoon ladies! Hope you're all having a lovely day!?
I woke up this morning feeling pretty drained but I've decided to stop temping and setting an alarm for 6:30 so had a lie in! It feels nice letting go and not putting pressure on. Have the view that whatever will be when I go for my second scan at the epu on the 14th.

@LokiCat hope you enjoy your date night and make the most of your time with DH.

Anyone got any nice plans this weekend? Anyone due to test? Xx

Sorry for random double post 🙈

@ValidUser this is my 4th I missed a week because of work. It's relaxing if nothing else. SMEP is hard work I just couldn't stay awake but I had my positive OPK Tuesday night (DTD then) and will make up for it tonight as I'm off work until Tuesday!

@ELW85 - that would be fantastic, thank you!

@Lottiepink - Beach is stunning! My best friend knew (as I knew the bridesmaids were wanting to drink the morning of the wedding, so she drunk mine 🤣) and the photographer knew because I was getting really really cranky with the couple photos and I ended up just saying I’m not being a pain but I’m hot, hungry, cranky due to being pregnant (one of them when to go and get me some food 😂) other then that no one knows! Loving the honeymoon but I’m excited to come home and have a scan already.

Are you in the TWW now?
