TTC First Baby Thread 21

@hopeandpray1988 I have everything crossed for you today lovely!

Morning! Very nervous, not gonna lie. Did a test this morning so I felt more positive and it's still darker than the one I caved and did two days ago. Keeping everything crossed.
Will be thinking of you @ELW85 hope it's the news we want xx

Thanks @ELW85 both were shattered last night was probably more of a struggle than it should've been 😂 good luck for today!

Morning all!
Scan day and totally nervous, but trying to stay calm and optimistic!

Thank you @LokiCat - I’ll update after the hospital 💕

@MrsH497 - yes, I’ve had that before! Good luck with the next couple of days 😂

@hopeandpray1988 - thank you and good luck for today, my dear. 🤞🏻 Xx

@ELW85 @hopeandpray1988 just wanted to wish you both luck for your scan appointments today. Have everything crossed that all is okay ❤️

Hey guys. Just marking my place here so I can keep up to date with where everyone is at xxx

@Makingawish sounds like you are doing everything right! I really hope it works for you xx

@Macbless your cycle could still be the usual length but you may just ovulate later on. You've got more willpower than me not having pregnancy tests in the house! I bought a pack of about 30 🤦🏻‍♀️ we've been properly trying only about 4 cycles including this but I'd only been using the cheap OPK's previously so may have mistimed ovulation previously. We're also following SMEP and using preseed so I've got everything crossed this month xx

@Makingawish hopefully my temp will have risen in the morning and TWW have begun! If the apps right then my cycle will be 31 days long which is much longer than usually (normally 26-27 days) but trying not to read anything into it! I was talking to a friend who told me she spent a fortune on pregnancy tests so much so that he banned them from the house! I’ve not bought any and have managed to stop myself the last two cycles. Made a deal with myself only to buy one if AF is late. Hoping I can stick to it!
How long have you been trying? X

@Macbless I got my static smiley on Sunday which brought my ovulation forward a day or 2 so now AF is predicted 12th August! When does your TWW start? X

@MrsH497 good job you using the OPKs! My app and the OPKs don’t seem to be rallying up either. Good luck with the 3 days in a row! Xx

@Anny27 thanks for the reply, new to these chats! I have been doing ovulation tests on and off, going to keep up with them now daily. Also have the flo app to track changes see if that will help. I know the doctor will just tell me to lose weight.

I was on the implant, had it out and didn't have a period for 4 months, had 1 and haven't had one since.

Argghhh!

I know everyone is in the same boat but am seeing so many success stories I am hopeful I can get some advice.

Also saw an article on medication to bring on a period. Does anyone have any experience with that?

@Anny27 thanks love! I'm sorry AF showed up! Take care of yourself and fingers crossed this cycle is the one 🤞🏽❤️ hormones can make our emotions so crazy!!

@Lozzlepop I'm good thank you. SMEP is okay, have only DTD twice so far - think I've got a week to go before I get a positive OPK. Annoyingly DH's work had to cancel his rest days, so he's been getting home after midnight last few days (continues till tomorrow!), which is when I'm normally sleeping. Going to try and stay up tonight, so most likely will be shattered at work tomorrow. The things we do to TTC! 🙈
How are you doing? Your weekend sounded lovely, I love a good steak 😊
Are you thinking of taking a break from TTC this cycle?

@MrsEG what gorgeous scan photos! That must have been so exciting to see. Very happy for you! Xx

@hopeandpray1988 haha he does make this journey bearable! Definitely lucky to have him and his lame one liners 😂
Everything crossed for the morning for you lovely xx

@MrsH497 have not had it myself, but good thing you caught the surge! Time to get down to business!! Enjoy

@Makingawish this is only the third cycle but i’m 36 almost 37 so I feel a bit of pressure from that! When did you get your static smiley? My Af is now due 14th August with the later ovulation. Any time close to you? Xx

@MrsEG beautiful pictures! So pleased for you.

So I took a clear blue OPK this morning first flashing smiley this cycle did one just now as I know people have said that you can actually get a surge in the evening and it's gone to static smiley?!?!! Anyone else had this?? Doesn't match up with my app at all!! 3 days of BD here I go I guess

@LokiCat thanks chick. Scan in the morning at the epu so will let you know what they say.

@ELW85 fingers crossed chick. Is your scan tomorrow too? Good luck 😘

@Lottiepink hoping you get your positive opk soon! 🤞🏻

@LokiCat your hubby sounds like a hoot 😂😋 least he can make light of what can be a tricky time for the men! 😂

@Lozzlepop ah bless you. 😘 least you'll have a better idea of what your body is doing for when you're ready to start your ttc journey again 🙂 I'll message tomorrow when I've been to epu. 🤞🏻

@MrsEG congratulations! Bet you're so happy! Double the trouble when they're here 🙂

@Macbless I know what you mean! I don't temp but have used CB digital ovulation for the first time this cycle and got my static smiley about 2 days before the app predicted it so I think that's pretty accurate! How long have you been TTC? X

@Makingawish maybe i’m impatient and my temp will rise tomorrow morning. It’s just my app said ovulation would be yesterday and now it’s saying Wednesday... I think i’m Probably just stressing over nothing. Just not sure how many more times this cycle I can DTD! Xx

Oh @MrsEG such a magical sight your darling twins! X

@MrsEG - what a wonderful sight 💕 so happy for you! Xx

@Macbless do you not take the static face on your CB OPK as sure fire sign that you're ovulating?

@Lozzlepop shattered!! Got a high OPK so closer to the positive and the 3 days of DTD 😂😂😂
Trying to be positive!

@MrsEG lovely pictures. I can understand the shock but so lovely.

I’m a bit confused. I’m CD16, temp still low, had static smiley face on CB OPK yesterday and done loads of IC OPK all negative. Had very little EWCM. Usually I ov about CD14. I am hoping it’s not going to be annovulatory cycle. We’ve DTD cd 8,10,12 and 15, hoping I can persuade DH to try CD17 too... but would be nice to know that I am actually going to ovulate! 🙈
