TTC First Baby Thread 22

@gemster19 did you retest? 🤞🤞

@Larrydavid sometimes you just need to let yourself get a little bit sad before picking yourself back up. I am motivated for cycle 4! Ovulating early is always a bonus :D fingers crossed for you!

@LokiCat thanks for your kindness 😘😘 how have you been feeling?

@Lottiepink i have a feeling this month that your relaxed approach might just be the best thing :D

@MrsH497 how strange! This cycle is throwing all the unusuals at you

@Lozzlepop I'm good thank you, in holiday and so chilled, it's amazing! Think the no stress approach is helping me, just feel like I'm not bothered this month, with going to the docs next month I don't feel pressurised,
Plenty dtd just when we want 😂

@Motherofkittens28 that's lovely, congrats on setting the date 😊

@Sunshine8888 congratulations that's amazing!!

@Sunshine8888 ahh congratulations lovely, those are great lines!! So happy for you!

@Anny27 I'm so sorry to hear that. It may possibly have been a CP. It's understandable to be upset and sometimes better if you do have a cry. It is difficult staying positive, but I hope it will happen for you soon lovely. Treat yourself to something. I have everything crossed for you 💕

@Larrydavid well done for sticking with BBT and SMEP in a tent! Hopefully you caught ovulation. Why do you think you haven't ovulated? I'm assuming you didn't take OPKs as well (props if you did! Haha).

Hope you're all well xxx

@Sunshine8888 congratulations!! 🎊 you must be so happy. So glad the mystery long cycle turned into something positive for you!

I'm not sure how accurate my temping is this month because I took my temp twice in a tent (and missed a day!) but it looks like I've ovulated earlier than I thought. Apparently I'm on 5dpo though I'm not convinced! Hopefully by next month I'll have a better understanding of temping!

@Anny27 how confusing - it sounds like a CP - especially if you got a line on two. Hope you're ok. I'm on cycle 5 now - I know what you mean about losing your positivity!

@Lozzlepop Oh god! Cat sick is not the way you want to start your day! 😂 hopefully it's better for you from now on. I was up at 6 with awful dreams and when straight to the gym because I was so bloody hot!

Thanks ladies 😊 @Anny27 yes I called him into the bathroom and waved a stick in his face 😂 it wasn’t the most romantic. Then I made him stay with me while I did a FRER after. I feel really nervous about it all! That’s odd about your lines @Anny27. I wonder what that was about. I did test on the 20th with a cheap test as my boobs hurt but there wasn’t even a glimmer of line. I put it down to ovulation but if that was the case then I’m not due period to the 1st sep and I’m not sure the cheap stick would have showed if I was that early? The only reason I tested was because of the oddly high ovulation stick result

@Sunshine8888 congratulations lovely thats an amazing line!!! Have you told DP? Such a relief after your long cycle!

@MermaidKiss welcome :) i am also on cycle 3 (about to go onto cycle 4....). Everyone gets a bit demotivated and down from time to time but kepe remindinf yourself that a healthy couple can take up to a year :)

@Lozzlepop i was also up very early (thankfully our cat wasnt sick haha) just very hot in our house

Not sure what happened this cycle - I had a few more very faint positive lines and then stark negatives and now AF on the way. Either a CP or a dodgy set of tests but i had a few symptoms as well that have now disappeared. In a way the silver lining is that if it was a CP then the sperm can meet the egg and thats one hurdle!

Onto cycle 4. Losing some positive motivation if i am honest and had a little cry last night but in the grand scheme of things 4 months is nothing, just feels it at the moment

@XjustagirlX - ah just a really long cycle then? Stress can do that, along with lifestyle changes so make sure you’re looking after yourself!

@sunshine8888 o wow that’s a great line

@ELW85 my temps have been going higher and higher and this morning FF says I ovulated last Friday but it’s a dashed line. Unfortunately we had stopped DTD over a week ago. I’m so annoyed with myself for not continuing DTD. 😢

Thank you everyone. I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I still can’t get my head around it. Think I’ll get a clear blue digital just to triple check

@Sunshine8888 - congratulations!

@XjustagirlX - If I had to put money on it, I’d go with an anovulatory cycle, as you can’t really see a temp shift.
Conversely though, have you taken any HPTs?

@Sunshine8888 that is wonderful news, congratulations!

@Sunshine8888 wow congrats, your long cycle makes sense 😆
@Lozzlepop I'd say lucky you but I moved from Scotland down to Birmingham at new year as I missed the English summers too much- and friends and family of course 😄

Ladies have any of you battled with thrush during your fertile window? I'm about to tackle SMEP again starting in a few days but now have damn thrush which usually takes awhile to clear up for me. Do you know if the cream will affect TTC in the same manner certain lubes do?

Morning!

@MrsH497 wow that’s a long day, I hope the next few days fly by!

@XjustagirlX I’ve never temped I’m afraid so can’t she any insight on your chart!

@Kiza I did have a chilled evening, thankfully I live in Scotland so it’s not as warm lol!

@Sunshine8888 ahhhhh massive congratulations look at those lines! That will explain the long cycle ☺️

I’m so tired, the cat was sick at 4am so had to clean that up and felt so sick that I couldn’t go back to sleep 🙈 roll on 5pm!! Hope everyone has a great day!

@Sunshine8888 Arrgghhh YAY!!! Omg this is soooo exciting!! Have you not POAS before in this cycle? Congratulations!! 💕💕

@sunshine8888 CONGRATS!!! so happy for you

@Sunshine8888 Aaah congratulations!!!

@flossy12 shaking like a leaf right now....

@Sunshine8888 have you tried POAS HPT? Ovulation sticks can sometimes pick up pregnancies x

@flossy12 oh yeah hadn't thought about the diluted pee!
@Lozzlepop hope you managed to have a chilled evening... especially in this heat!

Evening ladies. I could really do with some help! My boobs are really sore and I’ve had loads of watery CM today on CD40! Just peed on an ovulation stick and LH levels are really high!! How can this be so late in my cycle? I haven’t really been tracking anything but AF is due 1 September (based on a long 45 day cycle) - but how now on CD40 am I getting this result?! Confused is an understatement

@Lozzlepop Still no AF. I’m now 9 days late. My temperatures have been a bit strange though coz they are slowly going up. I’m so confused. I’ve attached my chart to see if anyone has any ideas.
