TTC First Baby Thread 22

@MrsH497 that’s amazing I have everything crossed a sticky bean for you! I’m doing ok thanks, better now that the scan date and OV have passed and looking forward. I know it’ll still be a few weeks until getting our letter through but remaining optimistic it will come quickly! Just getting ready to go back to the gym which I’m oddly looking forward to! When are you seeing the midwife? How far along are you now?

@Absa sorry IC stands for Internet cheapy, I got a strong long one in the first time I was pregnant but subsequently lines have been squinters and think they are bad for evap lines. Have you considered temping to narrow down when OV happens? I would deffo do your OPKs daily and around the same time to get an accurate result. Also log any other symptoms, the more info you can put into your apps the better they are ☺️

@Kiza we are going to Vienna, I am a sucker for mulled wine and Xmas markets so I will be in heaven 😂😂😂 how are you?

Hi ladies. Been reading through the thread and felt a range of emotions for you all. Usually lurk around but wanted to post as you've really helped me feel less alone.
TTC #1
34, husband is 37
Came off the pill end of 2015 but only started actively TTC the start of the year.
Been symptom spotting like mad and totally confused Ovia which is saying CD 28, 6days to pregnancy test and 9 days till fertile window. Average cycle is 30 days.

@Anny27 madam AF is now lurking, spotting started this morning. Onwards to cycle 13 and awaiting results of blood tests and DP semen analysis 🤞🏼

@Lozzlepop sounds like a well deserved break, where are you thinking of going to?

@Lozzlepop originally O prediction would put me at 14d PO now, updated one is 10d PO but the only reason that prediction has changed is because my app once recorded that I get AF 10D PO and because AF isn't here yet it just keeps pushing my O date back. I didn't get a positive OPK this month (few days where I didn't test so maybe missed it).

@Lozzlepop I thought I knew when I O'd and then my predictions seemed to change so I think I'm about 10d PO. What does IC stand for?
Yes will wait a few more days / until the weekend.
Just annoying that I'm normally so regular with 27/28 day cycles. Haven't had a 30 day for years. And now it's just dangling that carrot that will probably be taken away!!

@MrsH497 I’m the same I love the crispness and cosiness of autumn and winter ☺️ How are you getting on? Well I would deffo recommend one!

@Lottiepink it really is, just a good end to a horrible year and make some nice memories, it also falls just after our anniversary ☺️ And hopefully be that point we will have had our appointment or be very close to getting it! How are you doing?

@Absa do you know when you ovulated? I would hold off a day or so and test again with a FRER as sometimes the IC can be really unreliable

Morning everyone,

Hope you are all ok!

Welcome to all the new members 😊

@ValidUser I definitely see it too! I will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Lozzlepop hope you enjoyed that! Never had one of those before! A city break will be amazing and just what you need 😊

Morning ladies,

I keep not getting any notifications which is really frustrating as I’m missing so much!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words after my previous post I have decided to book a city break so we are away over what would have been due date #1 as I think that’s going to be tough!

@Lemonysherbet when is AF due? I have felt sick on and off for the last 2 weeks and it does really throw you!

@ValidUser I see a faint line, keeping everything crossed for you lovely 🤞🏻

How is everyone else doing? Have I missed anything else? I am embracing Autumn as it’s my favourite season and currently in line for a pumpkin spiced latte, I’m going to enjoy these few months to the full!! Xx

CD30 today, last 2 cycles have both been 27. BFN with no squinters and no signs of AF (other than PMS / a few tummy churns). Normally I spot a couple of days before AF arrives and this normally starts CD 25.

Very confused!

That said, I've only done cheapy tests... but surely if I was actually late I'd see a very faint line? I have a clear blue, just wanted to wait to use it.

What do you all think?

@anny27 yeh no testing from me. I'm feeling run down so I think it might just be me being ill rather than pregnancy symptoms. I have ordered some frer but they won't arrive until Saturday - I'll.either do one Saturday if I think there's a chance or just pack one in my suitcase and wait until af is a bit late

What are you planning on testing or will you try to avoid?

Thanks @Lemonysherbet!

@Anny27 only about 8. Only testing so early this time round to decide whether or not to use the progesterone. I started last night and so far not regretting it!

I'll keep testing now. And hopefully third time lucky and baby sticks. And then I'll stop testing. FRER may go out of business. 😂

@ValidUser definitley something there! :D how many dpo are you? Its a good thing you have you progesterone ready to take :)

@Kiza i am not so moody anymore and not really having any symptoms! How about you? Will you test soon

@lemonysherbet are you still holding off testing?

Hows everyone else feeling?

10dpo for me today - no symptoms, not testing yet, temps still high so just holding out till sunday

I see something @ValidUser!!! Keeping everything crossed for you

Still squinting, but it shouldn't be the trigger at this stage.

Is my cautious optimism warranted?

@Lemonysherbet cautiously pleased!

Thinking of you and your strange crampiness! X

Oh exciting @ValidUser keep us updated. I'm crossing everything for you!

I feel so weird tonight, I've got achey legs, back ache and mild cramps. Feel sick. But I feel ill from it all more than I think I'm pregnant. It's worrying me

Good evening all. Welcome new people!

I have a vvvvvvvvv faint line that may still be from the trigger shot. Or may be the beginning of a BFP.

Going to start my progesterone tonight just in case and keep testing. 🤞

@Lemonysherbet we're hormonal beings- we're allowed to be 😆

@kiza I'm always a bit of a Mardy cow but less so today 😂 thanks for checking in on me

Holding out hope for you @Absa 🤞🏼

How was your first Accupuncture session @MotherOfShihTzus?

@Lemonysherbet @Anny27 are you two feeling a bit better in your moods from yesterday?

So cd28 and 13dpo, AF due any day between today and Saturday. Literally zero symptoms and no pre menstrual symptoms either, usually get spotting a few days before AF and cramping before. Gonna try and hold out testing till the weekend 🙏🏼

Thanks @galaxygirl24 and @makeafamily19 (and welcome to the chat, everyone is lovely and reassuring and we help each other get through the good and bad times :) )

I've got so many odd symptoms I don't know what's going on this month. Only 9pdo so it's too early to tell too! Are itchy nipples even a thing?!!

Hi ladies, can I join? Been following this thread for a while. Also on some other threads and finding the support helpful.

Sorry about your MC @Lemonysherbet 🙁
