TTC First Baby Thread 22

@PrincessConsuela12 just popped on to let you know I had a scan at what turned out to be 3+5 and they saw a 4mm gestational sac and that was all. I went back two weeks later at 5+5 and could see gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole on abdominal scan and then got to see baby's heartbeat with transvaginal scan!! They said they don't usually expect to see heartbeat till 6 and a half weeks and were surprised they saw anything on either scan so if you don't see anything don't panic but if you do then that would be awesome for you! Hope that puts your mind at rest a little x

Thank you all I've got a banging headache this evening but I think it's due to not eating properly today, I just couldn't believe it & spent most of my lunch break rushing to the chemist and home taking more tests

@smwh1 you can do it! If you've waited this long another few days is totally possible xx

@PrincessConsuela12 congratulations!! What exciting news 😃

Welcome @lunasunshine - it's amazing how quickly you can drive yourself mad isn't it?!

I'm due AF Saturday and promised myself I was going to wait until then to test. But I'm WFH all week this week and the willpower needed to stop myself testing when I'm in the house all day is unreal 😂

@whatsthecraic91 good luck with the house move and with taking a break. It’a Good to recognise when to stop for a while. I’ll miss your posts!

I’m on cycle 4 and this month DTD is definitely starting to feel like more of a planned chore than enjoyable part of our relationship. My DH has just changed jobs and is feeling stressed which does nothing for his sex drive. I feel like i’m adding extra stress by suggesting we have sex. I try to make it spontaneous but i’m such a planner it’s hard to!

@Sunshine8888 @flossy12 I would have no clue what to feel for with the cervix. Doing a bit better with CM. It’s definitely appearing to be more EW in nature which would tie in with FW.

Welcome newbies. There are lots of ladies and lots of posts but everyone is super supportive xx

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear your leaving us for abit 😘 good luck with the house it sounds exciting!! Xx

@Anny27 thank you! It’s weird, I’ve been so chilled and not in a rush to TTC for years, but as soon as we decided that we were ready I wanted it to happen straight away! I’m getting really impatient already ...

Hi Anny27, I'm only just 2-3 dpo so I'm being ridiculous to think I can feel anything! I just feel odd somehow and I'm hopeful. Wishing you a bfp this cycle!

Aww @whatsthecraic91 we have been on a few threads together. Wishing you some happy healthy relaxing months not thinking about ttc 💜 xxx

@Anny27 haha yeah I'm going to give it my best shot

@whatsthecraic91 good luck with everything lovely ❤ look out for yourself and enjoy a few months of wine and spontaneous (rather than planned!) Dtd :p

@lunasunshine welcome :D i am on cycle 3 and was also super bummed out when the first AF arrived after first month of ttc! Good luck with the journey:)

Congratulations again @PrincessConsuela12 :D thats quite a few BFPs we have had this month!!!

@flossy12 i have no idea about cervix and how to feel or what to feel for so i have given up on that one haha

@Motherofkittens28 welcome to the thread :) what cycle day/ dpo are you?

@Raizelrea welcome! And good luck during fertile week :)

@Larrydavid the temp dreams never stop haha!

I am 7dpo today and was having some cramping last night - no other symptoms!

Hi everyone! First ever post on mumsnet . I’m at the beginning of my TTC journey and would love to be able to chat about it with people who “get it”!

A little about me:

I’m 30, have been trying for a baby for 1 month (first child) and have just entered a new cycle (I’m on day 3). Currently using an Ava bracelet and will try the clear blue digital OPKs this cycle. Really new to all this TTC stuff. It’s a minfield! Oh and I was really bummed when AF arrived on Sunday!

Good luck Raizelrea!

@Sunshine8888 yeah that's what I'm like 🤦🏼‍♀️ hopefully see a change in the height/softness

Haha god no not after a red chilli! 🤦🏼‍♀️ that would definitely stop you DTD for a while 😂 x

It’s been a while!

Congratulations to all who have got their BFPs!

We have decided to take a break from TTC, we are moving house next month so we are going to start again in the New year, hopefully by then my cycles will have completely settled and I will have lost that half stone of weight My mental health has suffered greatly too 8 failed cycles really takes its toll.

I will keep reading all your updates and hopefully by the time I am posting again you will all have moved onto the pregnancy threads 🤞🏼

Good luck and baby dust to all ❤️

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I join in. I got married in June and we've been semi trying since although didn't really DTD on the right days so I'm only considering this cycle my first proper one. I'm 31, CD 13 and AF due 6 September - currently in my fertile window, hopefully 😊

Congratulations @PrincessConsuela12, so pleased for you!!

Thanks @LokiCat.

@PrincessConsuela12 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you @flossy12

@flossy12 I couldn’t check last night as I cut up a red chilli 🌶 for dinner! I couldn’t risk it - I figured missing a day is probably better than an internal chilli burn 😂🙈

@flossy12 it’s a minefield! I’ve been trying morning and night for the last couple of weeks and it always just seems to be high! Like hard to reach! And as for softness / open / closed i just don’t know. I’m going to keep trying though and recording - maybe eventually I’ll spot some sort of pattern throughout cycles 🤷🏽‍♀️ Same for CM!

@PrincessConsuela12 CONGRATS!! 💕💕

So trying to be proactive and check my CM and CP this cycle and I have no idea what I'm feeling, cervix is feeling quite high but one half feels like purses lips and the other like the tip of a nose (sorry for TMI) is anyone any good at this?

Thank you
@Sunshine8888 & @MrsH497

I've just done a digital because the line was v faint & 1-2 so I'm pleased
