TTC First Baby Thread 22

@Lozzlepop no weird location this time! The tww will be in japan! Though I've just worked out that I'm on a work trip when I ovulate so I think I'm out completely this month. At least I can enjoy raw fish/ sushi without worrying!

@Whatnext11 congratulations! 🎊

@Kiza I'm booked in for some tests when I get back from holiday. Good luck with yours.

@lottiepink thank you so much.
@valid user, hoping it's your month too.

@Whatnext11 congratulations! What a line!

@MrsH497 pleased to see your doing ok; bet you cannot wait for that scan 😊 I hope this is your time!

@ValidUser i hope this is your time too, you deserve it 😊

Thank you!!! @mrsh497 it's called 'can you see it'. Eek. @anny27 it's complicated! It is sort of cycle 1 but due to some other issues, I've had therapy for several years and just got a go ahead to try. Didn't think it would ever work if I'm honest

Thats amazing! @whatnext11 what cycle number is this for you?

14dpo. Thought I was over and out as had spotting and cramps just like before AF. Went a bit quiet on here as I was gutted. Eek!!

@whatnext11 just saw it - the most positive test i have ever seen haha. Congratulations :D how many dpo are you?

I'm all over the place, posted a test pic on another thread as it wouldn't let me do it in here - can you see it. Line eyes welcome

@Lozzlepop we live in Birmingham and we're really surprised that we got them done straight away (friends in other areas have had to wait 3 months). They did my partners semen analysis and my bloods on the same day.
They're testing me for about 12 different things with my bloods but it's mainly progesterone as the test was done in cd21.
I've read that it's a bit pointless them testing me for some of the other things such as fsh on cd21 as that test is supposed to be on cd2? It's the NHS though 🤷🏼‍♀️ they said my test results all come back at different times over the next 2-3 weeks so I'm going to wait until they're all available and then go in to find out as I want to know the exact numbers of each test not just a generic 'it's ok, or it's average'.

@larrydavid thank you - thats good that you are getting further with the wedding stuff and you've eased the pressure off yourself :D

@Lemonysherbet i have moments of feeling really positive thinking this is my month and then moments of "but what if it isn't" haha

@lozzlepop doing okay thanks :) we had our 2nd wedding anniversary last week so been focussed on that and not too much on ttc which has been a nice change haha!

@Anny27 thanks lovely! I just didn’t want to be at work thinking about it so will be nice to go away for a couple of days! How are you getting on?

@MrsH497 how exciting not too long to wait! How are you feeling about everything?

@Kiza oh Cape Town sounds fantastic too! Are your tests on the NHS? How long did you have to wait for your appointment? Can I ask what sort of tests you got done? We’ll be getting tests done soon hopefully 🤞🏻

@Larrydavid do it- you won’t be disappointed (I hope) where are you off to on your hols? More SMEP in an unusual location? ☺️

@Larrydavid possibly up to 3 months. We shall see!

So I can't get as good a picture as I had this morning because I'm in an Airbnb for work and don't have my pink background sheet.

But my line is still there and comes up when the image is inverted. Stick baby, stick!

@anny27 it's so confusing isnt it! Let me know.hoe you get on Saturday. I've got weird symptoms but I think it's because I feel poorly and run down. Got bad back ache, nausea and burning in my stomach. when I got my BFP before it.felt very diff so I think it's just me feeling run down sadly! I feel like.ive had every possible ailment this past week, roll on holiday!!!

Hey ladies, how you all doing? I've been a bit silent - too much work and am trying to cram it all in ahead of a holiday next week! We're also going full steam ahead with wedding planning - found a venue and have a date. It's all very exciting! Have kind of come to the conclusion that it's unlikely a baby will happen before the wedding and it's made me feel a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. I'm on cycle day 10 - we're continuing with SMEP regardless.

What did I miss? Hello new people! 👋🏼

@ValidUser - that's a line! How long do you take progesterone for? Fingers crossed it works. Really hope this is your month!!

@Lozzlepop you've inspired me to try a pumpkin latte!

@Anny27 good luck with your testing this weekend!

@MrsH497 i really hope this is your month!

@MrsH497 sending lots of sticky baby dust your way and hopefully the next couple of weeks waiting for your scan go by quickly for you.
@Lozzlepop Wow Vienna sounds amazing! I'm good thanks, on a mission to try and get fit for our Cape Town holiday at new year- if not pregnant by then! Just anxiously waiting for results back to see if we're both ok fertility wise. I'm 39 in a couple of weeks and worry that I may have fertility issues due to my age 🤷🏼‍♀️

@lemonysherbet same i wont test till Saturday (will be 13dpo). I am feeling soooo tired. But then again i have had 2 very early starts for work so its probably because of that haha

No other symtpoms, boobs just as sore as normal AF and just a bit bloated as usual.

Any more symptoms for you?

@validuser you must implant pretty early then - lucky as then you can pick it to start the progesterone. I am really hoping this is your month :)

@Lozzlepop hey lovely - glad you have a mini break planned for when #1 was due 💚

@kiza ahhh thats rubbish :( i always have spotting the day before AF too so its always two waves of dissapointment. 1 when the spotting startsand 2 when AF comes properly :/

Welcome @pixelflower :) this group definitley helps to not feelisolated when ttc :)

@pixelflower hey :) it's so confusing when all of the symptoms are so similar to being due on!
I'm 26 and TTC my first as well, been trying since March/April time. Got a fertility appointment booked in as my periods were random and bloods showed me as having low progesterone. It is a bit isolating I find as when your are so ready for a child, it can feel obsessive and if people around you have children (a lot of my friends do) it compounds it all! I keep getting told I'm too young to stress out and to not panic and it'll happen when it does! But I'm not a patient person alas and I have such a worry that it'll never happen for me, also I was on the pill for 10 years (me and husband started going out young both of us at 16/17 so didn't was a PG before having a house etc) ...I worry that the pill has messed me up! Eek 😖 ...I'm testing in 6 days also so good luck 💖
