TTC First Baby Thread 21

Awwww look at them ❤️ Just amazing! So happy for you ☺️

@Lottiepink @lozzlepop Naturally they’ve uploaded in the wrong order so it’s the second pic you can see the two sacs haha! I just can’t stop looking at them. Very surreal to think they’re in there!

@Lottiepink @lozzlepop They’re non-identical, both in separate sacs - I must have released two eggs and both have been fertilised! It’s the safest of twin pregnancies luckily as it means they will have a placenta each. We are still just so shocked it’s happening but delighted too! Yes sure - here are the pics at 9+5 - in the first pic you can see both sacs but twin 2 lies a little further back so she did another pic of him/her - just lay there chillin :)

Hope everything is fab with you ladies and sending lots of luck and the very best wishes to you all xxx

Hi ladies,

Sorry for the silence but I haven't been getting any notifications for new messages! A big hello to all the new ladies 😀

@LokiCat how are you? How is SMEP going?

@ValidUser that sounds promising!

@MrsH497 I am ok thanks, had a nice weekend out with DP enjoying steak and some cocktails and am now firmly off the alcohol. How are you doing?

@Imjustme2019 good luck for SMEP

@LikeTheFruit how are you doing?

@newgirl89 congratulations!! Thats a great line!

@hopeandpray1988 I am ok thanks, starting OPKs to see where we are this cycle and to make sure we don't DTD in FW this month! That all sounds really positive hun, I have everything crossed for you!

@MrsEG thats fantastic news you both must be thrilled, I'm not sure if you have answered before but do you know if they are identical twins or non identical?

How is everyone? What have I missed?

@Nearlyusnai well done on holding off wish I had off! I’m going to wait now until Sunday then I will be a day late, and DP text me today to say he is taking me out Saturday night cocktails 🍹 😊

AF has arrived today - onto the next cycle. I knew it was coming as on saturday i burst into tears because a bumblebee had been caught by a spider in its web in the garden. My PMS emotion is strong haha!

@LokiCat nearly at peak thats exciting :D good luck for this cycle!

@imjustme2019 thank you! I have my negative moments but overall try and remain positive. Where are you in your current cycle?

@whatsthecraic91 sorry about your BFN but its still so early so fingers crossed :D

@LokiCat hahaha typical man eh! 🤣 I've just found a way in Flo to record positive ovulation tests but that then assumes you've ovulated that day so puts me at 2DPO. I'm at least 1DPO so I'll go with that for now 😊

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear the BFN. I chickened out this morning after last night's BFN. I'm gonna test on Saturday I'll be a day late then. I think I know myself but sure.... May as well use the test. 🙄 Cheap as chips they are. Lol

Just messaged DH saying that I think fertile week is starting because I felt quite 'wet' down there. He asked me if I was sure I hadn't wee'd myself 🤦🏻‍♀️ such a joker that man 🙄

@ELW85 Ah hope the journey was okay. You there for work?
Haha yeah, I just thought this cycle we just have to power through! 😂

@Makingawish ah sorry didn't realise! 1dpo for today sounds about right, I think.

@whatsthecraic91 fingers crossed you did catch it. It may be that you ovulated later then and it's just to early to test? As others have said you're not out till AF shows!

@Lottiepink yay for positive OPK! Time to get busy
I know, I wish our bodies were easy to figure out!! It makes TTC even more confusing/stressful.

@LokiCat I don’t know how many DPO I am as I didn’t get a positive OPK this cycle, I was using IC ones and only tested once per day, could have possibly just missed it!

@LokiCat No, I don't temp because I sleep terribly and you can't take another test because it stays stuck on the static smiley for 48 hours so this is my problem 😩 I think I'll just say today is 1DPO.

Morning all!

On a train to Edinburgh and I’m absolutely exhausted.

@Imjustme2019 - the SMEP is pretty tough, but it really only does take once - cliche I know.
It’s really finding what works for you. In the book I have on fertility (Taking Charge of Your Fertility) the author explains that DTD every day doesn’t work for some couples, so try not to put too much pressure on yourselves :)

@LokiCat - thanks lovely! It was a relief to get it all sorted at work.
You made me lol when I read about you jumping DH after night shift! Good on you 😂 xx

@Makingawish - you do tend to Ov 12-36 hours after a static/peak, but you won’t get another static on CB in the cycle so if you’ve been DTD since Sun-today, you’ll be covered :)

@hopeandpray1988 - how are you feeling? Everything sounds really positive so I’m sure you’re in a good place!

@whatsthecraic91 - sorry about the BFN but definitely not out until AF shows!

Morning ladies! Happy Tuesday 😊

@MrsEG thanks lovely. It sounds like you're doing everything right by listening to your body x

@hopeandpray1988 all of that sounds very positive! Thank you so much ❤️

@ELW85 that's great! Nothing worse than having a bad time at work, considering we spend most of our time there. Glad all is well xx

@Makingawish it's a difficult to say, I think they say you can ovulate anywhere from 12-36hours after getting a peak. Do you temp? Did you take another OPK test the day after, if it's not another static smiley then that may be a good indication as well that you have ovulated (I may be wrong about that - sorry!)

@whatsthecraic91 sorry about bfn! How many dpo are you?

Felt some more EWCM this morning. Still no peak this morning, so will keep testing and DTD 😂 think I'm likely to get it next Tuesday/Wednesday.
Have a lovely day all xx

Well BFN!! Should have known!

@Imjustme2019 to be honest we were daunted by it as well! We've DTD twice in the last 4 days so on target so far just need to get my static smiley on OPK and then go for it! X

@Anny27 sorry to hear, but temp could still go back up. Love your positivity too looking forward, best way.

Glad to hear you're well @MrsEG

I'm a little daunted by SMEP @MrsH497 and @ELW85 but it's worth trying

@nearlyusnai you’re not out until AF shows her ugly bake!

If I got a static smiley on a CB ovulation test yesterday, when is best to count as my ovulation day? I can't go by the apps I have because they're not predicting me ovulating for another couple of days! I can't go through my TWW not knowing exactly how many DPO I am 😄

Indeed I thought with your tag you would be too! Lol

I stupidly did a test tonight and it was BFN and so I've packed away the test for tomorrow. The disappointment is real but I know you should use your first morning pee so dunno if I'm clinging to straws.

@nearlyusnai LOVE your username are you also Irish?

I’m gonna test in the morning 🤞🏼 Good luck to you xx

@whatsthecraic91 we are cycle buddies to the day! I'm feeling super weird this month but Im not sure if I'm just desperate to test and I'm imagining it. Mostly I feel full to brim and sick all the time! 🙈 I'm gonna do an early response tomorrow morning.... I can't wait any longer. 😳

@MrsH497 - I think it’s awesome that you’re going to be helping inform the work stance on miscarriage.
Sometimes employers can be a bit blunt in their approach, so anything to make it more human and supportive of others is fantastic :)
I always see the SMEP is like a marathon! Good on you for giving it a go!

@LokiCat - work actually went really well today and not the Armageddon of last week so pretty happy! And thank you, lovely! I really want it to be the best news ever and I’m sure it will be 🤞🏻💕

@MrsEG - cannot ever go wrong with bread, so I’m in full support :) thank you again for checking in on me. It really means a lot! Looking forward to giving you good news on Wednesday xx

@LokiCat thank you chick 😘 I'm hoping its good news. My boobs are getting more and more sore and my DH definitely reckons they are bigger (and heavier 😂) and my spotting has stopped. I've got normal cm now but seems to be more than I would usually get before I got my bfp. I'm also really tired 😴. Hopefully all good signs 🤞🏻

Glad you managed to dtd and I have everything crossed for you this cycle! 🤞🏻😘

@LokiCat @MrsH497 You both 100% will; for some horrible reason it just isn’t quite a straight road for all of us. But it will happen :)

@ELW85 Ah yes we’re so pleased and honestly the weight gain doesn’t bother me much, especially given my new diet of bread and more bread. I’m just listening to my body and giving it what it wants - carbs and sleep!! Will check in on Weds and see how you get on x
