TTC First Baby Thread 21

@MIW01 - thank you, DH is amazing so all full of happiness on the home front; he’s doing a great job of looking after me, just hoping that we get a happy ending🤞🏻

@Sunshine8888 - welcome!

@Imjustme2019 - thank you; sorry if I’ve forgotten - are you using OPKs or temping?

@Eventrider1 - can definitely see something, fingers crossed for your FRER!

@MrsH497 - jealous of your weekend! I’ve always wanted to go to Devon!

@ValidUser - how was your scan? I hope all was well :)

@Lottiepink - thank you so much. Just waiting now, but quietly hoping that everything is ok ❤️

I hope everyone has had a decent Friday? I’m totally shattered but looking forward to a semi-quiet weekend of house clearance and haircut 💇‍♀️

Good luck to anyone testing and trying out new gadgets 😃

Hey you wonderful ladies, just popping in as I'm a nosey cow and love seeing how you're all getting on

@Lozzlepop I'm so sorry to read your news lovely, look after yourself xx

@Lozzlepop AF was due yesterday. According to my flow app I am 16dpo but I’m not sure I trust it’s predictions.

@Lottiepink I will try and get a frer today!

@Lozzlepop oooh amazing! I really want to see the Lion King film! May try and go next weekend.
That makes sense, sometimes work is the best distraction. Thank you! I'm going with some colleagues, so shouldn't be too bad 😊

😘@Lozzlepop definitely will! Xx

@LokiCat we are going to go for a bite to eat then go see the new Lion King film- very excited already!! I am actually at work today, I am feeling good and everything has settled down so would rather have my mind focused than sitting at home moping about! Lunch with a friend sounds good, wow that sounds an intense course hope its a quick week for you!!

Morning @Lozzlepop, I'm glad you're okay and a date night next week sounds lovely, any idea what you might do? I hope you're at home today and hope you have a relaxing weekend with DP.
I'm very very happy that it's Friday, finally!
Meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow and then off to Midlands for a week for a training course.

@Eventrider1 I can see more of a line on this one than the one from last night. CB digitals are very sensitive, so it may be you're testing slightly early to get a bfp. As @Lozzlepop suggested, can you get a FRER?

@MrsH497 I am doing ok thanks hun, just feel kind of numb is the best way to describe everything! Oooh that sounds like a lovely weekend, have a gin for me!! We thankfully don't have any plans this weekend but we have scheduled in a wee date night for next week which I am looking forward too 🙂

@Eventrider1 I can see a line....can you get a FRER? how many DPO or you/ whens AF due? Sorry if you have already mentioned this previously

Always helps to add the picture before posting.
(Excuse the hideous tiles. They are due to be ripped out soon!)

Well I had an annoying morning. Thought I would use the fancy digital clear blue to get a definitive answer but the bloody thing came up with an error
Did my last little stick test and there was a faint line so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Have ordered some more tests which should arrive in the next few days so here’s hoping!

Hey @Lozzlepop how are you?

Going to Devon to see my in laws it's my sister in laws 30th birthday party so plenty of gin and a bbq can't wait to finish work

Morning ladies, how are we all? I’m so happy it’s Friday! Does anyone have any fun weekend plans?

Morning all!

@Maisy24 thank you! She's a big ball of fluff 😍

@Eventrider1 I can see the faintest smudge in the area where a line should be 🤞🏽

@Sunshine8888 welcome! Sorry AF arrived, although after 45 days I guess it was also a happy welcome.
I didn't realise how much there was involved in ttc as well! I was in a happy bubble not knowing about OPKs and temping 😂 I hope the OPKs are helpful for you this cycle :)
There are a lot of very knowledgeable, supportive ladies on this thread so you're in the right place!

@Anny27 I think I'm even more excited to temp in the mornings now, which is not helping my crazy obsession 😂
Love me some Love Island as well! One perk of DH working late is that he doesn't pester me to change the channel 😊

@Imjustme2019 it may be that you're ovulating later this cycle? Don't lose hope, fingers crossed it happens!!

@MrsH497 nope should be fine to start temping from now!

@ValidUser thank you!! Good luck for today!

@MrsH497 totally!

@LokiCat fabulous kitty!

Ladies who temp.. in CD2 can I start now or is it too late?

Thanks @Anny27 I think I’ll try similar although I think I’ll be later rather than earlier due to my last cycle being 45 days 🤔.

@Lozzlepop so sorry to hear your news. You're definitely right,we're all here for each other.

@ELW85 glad things have improved

I don't think we will have a chance this month,I've been recording my temps and no ovulation calculated, normally happens around cd11 I'm on cd18

@sunshine8888 welcome :) i started TTC at the end of May so similar to you. Currently cd18. I used ovulation sticks this month and found them really helpful to pinpoint when i ovulated. I started using them about cd9 and ovulated round about cd15. What day do you think you will start testing?

@LokiCat yep i found the femometer really easy to use even when i was half awake at 6.30 haha!

Just finished watching love island (guilty pleasure) and looking forward to a hopefully quiet friday at work

Hello ladies, I have been watching this thread and it’s lovely how caring and supportive you all are to each other. I am 31 ttc baby number 1. I only started this journey in June after coming off the pill so it’s very new to me but I find these forums very helpful. I am CD1 after AF arrived today after 45 days 😬 I have just purchased some ovulation sticks for this cycle in the hope they’ll help me work out what’s happening when. I am already feeling overwhelmed by ttc. I know it sounds stupid but I never realised before ttc what a lot of us have to go through 😬

@LokiCat wow Loki is so beautiful 

@Eventrider1 I think I can see a faint line! But don't want to get your hopes up it could be my dodgy eyes, I am praying it is for you xxx

Posted this in the last group before realising you had already moved to a new thread!

Can anyone else see a line or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?

@ELW85 haircuts are great! A chance to be pampered and walk out feeling like a new woman 😊😂 enjoy!
Having lunch with a friend on Saturday and then off to Birmingham on Sunday for training for the week. DH has been working quite late this week and so a bit sad I won't even have next week with him!

@MIW01 sorry about the BFN. If AF isn't due till next week, though you may have tested a bit early? How many dpo are you?
Good luck for your interview next week! I hope AF doesn't show!

I've been hanging out with my little Loki again this evening.
Have a good night ladies ❤️

Oh @Lozzlepop so sorry to hear that! My heart goes out to you. Hope DP is about for hugs and support.

@XjustagirlX sorry to hear AF arrived, that sucks. I still can't believe how difficult this procreation stuff is in reality!

@ELW85 I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Be kind to yourself in the meantime and hope the home life is as stress free as possible.

Weirdly, feeling relieved after BFN yesterday, at least I know now. Well, I'm assuming so. AF due next Tuesday, ironically the day I have a job interview! Great timing. So if she doesn't arrive I'll test again but the 1 I used is pretty sensitive so should have indicated something. Poor DP is clearly disappointed. He is really looking forward to Fatherhood!

@Lozzlepop so sorry to hear that 💔 xx
