TTC 1st Baby. Keep positive thread. Please join

Thank you @Rinoa, trying not to get my hopes up as it is faint. But FC 🤞🤞

Nothing really @MisssC3025 which is making me doubt. I had almost 48 hours of a dull ache like period pains this weekend but no period which was very random. And I had a tingley nipple a few times. 🤣

@StephyRose second test is looking good definitely a bit darker and more visible! 😀

Thank you @MisssC3025 @Jurassiclover and @imnewtothis ... ❤ really got my hopes up now as its defo darker. Why do we do this to ourselves?

I've got four more tests (ouch, bank balance!) coming to work tomorrow ... so I won't test again now until Wednesday which is meant to be my AF due date. I have everything crossed. 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you all again 💗

@StephyRose I see it, hopefully it progresses for you, keeping my fingers crossed

@MisssC3025 yeah definitely a bit of a guessing game atm but we're just trying to BD every other day and hope for the best. I think if nothing this cycle I'll buy some OPK's just to double check when OV is happening and then I'll try following SMEP!

Yeah I'll keep updated how I'm getting on! Had some what could have been the start of EWCM this morning so maybe this cycle will be shorter 🤞

Sending lots of baby dust your way!

@StephyRose that looks promising to me! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Comparing the two, this mornings is definitely darker.

Gah. Going slightly mad! My cycles since coming off the implant are anything from 24 days to 28 but the average is 26. Based on average, I'm due Wednesday on the 25th but with two days to go, I thought it would be darker than that.

Hi folks,

This is this mornings test. Definitely something there but again faint - after two days would have expected it to be darker. I feel like this is just a dodgy batch of FRER tests. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Still darker than Saturdays test. Not sure what to think.

@StephyRose good luck, I see something v v faint as you say but definitely worth trying again in a couple of days! I hope you can keep busy til then and the days fly by!! 
I'm still only on cd 6, but been busy packing before we move on Thursday. We have started dtd every other day already to make sure the swimmers are super fresh when we get there!
@MisssC3025 I have been taking preconception vitamins with folic in, I believe it's best to take at least folic before you get pg as it's most important in the first few weeks. The rest is probably all pointless but I need the iron and B vits anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

@MisssC3025 I'm feeling good! I still feel like baby number 1 is so far away though, like I feel hopeful but also feel like it's going to take ages idk why! My af according to clue is due 18/10 but that's based on my last cycle being bloody 42 days. Recently off the pill so I'm pretty sure my cycles will be weird for a bit, first was 28 days then 42 now I'm on cycle 3 after the pill so not really 100% when AF will show or even when I'll ovulate 😂

When's your AF due?

@StephyRose sorry for the typo 😂 obviously meant to put hope* !

Meant to tag @Rinoa in that last message 😋 x

Thank you!! I think DP would think he had super sperm 🤣😋

@MisssC3025 Thanks for being a cheerleader!! It is ridiculously faint but I keep thinking it's not pure white though ... I'll try again tomorrow and let you all know. I'm hopeful but at the same time its cycle #1 so I'll pick myself and start again.

I'm taking folic acid and these tablets called Vital DHA. They are Omega 3 fish oils and they are for pregnancy and pre-conception. They are meant to be good at preserving egg health. See? I've bought it hook, line and sinker. Love a gimmick me! I might try Concieve Plus for next cycle but if not, I'll try PreSeed. Heard great things about both.

Another reason I'm really putting pressure on myself is that I'm a secondary school teacher and the perfect time to fall is Nov/Dec for a September baby so that you almost get a full year off and the maternity pay works out best that way. For example if I had a baby in June/July which wouldn't be the end of the world, I'd actually get paid less for August/the holiday than I usually would. So a lot of teachers plan to fall in Winter and so many colleagues actually do🤣

I think that is why I am trying every gimmick going. 😋

@StephyRose I totally see a super faint line hoe it gets darker for you ! 🤞

Oops sorry for the double (now triple!) post 🙈

Won't let me post a photo. I'll try again ....

Hi @MisssC3025 and everyone,

Why does Sunday night roll around so soon? Literally cant wait for next weekend already ...

Feel ridiculous for posting this but here goes. It's a real squinter! 🤣 Will try again tomorrow morning at 13DPO but if not, on to next month. I'm going to try that Sperm Meets Egg plan.

Plus I bought that Concieve Plus Fertility Lubricant ... 🙈 I'm a consumers dream, I know!!
