Hey everyoneSmile

Please join me on my journey of TTC baby no 1 (5 months of TTC). It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and I think a positive thread of news, updates and tips is needed!

Feel free to introduce yourselves and explain where you're all at in your journeys. Smile

MisssC3025 · 22/09/2019 18:09

@Rinoa @StephyRose @Jurassiclover

Girlies thanks so much for your messages literally read your comments and teared up! I'm so emotional hope it's not a sign of AF! Hope you're all well! @StephyRose You said you've seen a faint line at 11dpo that sounds promising??? Any pics?

I just chilled out and DP made a roast (h felt guilty for the argument) and I'm now going to watch TV until bed time! @Jurassiclover A face mask sounds like
an amazing idea 👍😂 I have a fair few!

@Rinoa let's keep each other sane 😂❤️

@SoonToBeMrs91 wow your story sounds so much like mine. I'm 28 and we have been ttc #1 since January and I had a mc in July at 6 nearly 7 weeks. I ovulated either Friday or yesterday according to my opk (actually the first positive opk I've had since mc although I have had 2 af since so may have just missed it). We were married in December last year so coming up for our 1 year anniversary soon! Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Hope this month is a successful one for us both 🤞🏼

Jurassiclover · 22/09/2019 13:09

Aww OP, sorry to hear about that. But these things happen! Try not to get too worried about it all. Me and DP had a row on Friday again all because of TTC it's crazy how stressful it can be. But I always think anything that's important and you really want in life is never going to be easy! As long as you've realised what's causing the issues then all should be fine! Have yourself a nice bath and face mask or something today to help bring stress levels down! Always helps me (and is definitely my plan for tonight haha)

StephyRose · 22/09/2019 13:02

Bless you @MisssC3025. The night DP went to sleep last week because he was tired when we should have been DTD, I cried for about 3 hours straight on the sofa ... I was just so stressed and disappointed so I totally get it.

You may very well be pregnant so keep faith in that. ❤ I dont know why we get so stressed about it when women fall pregnant and have babies every single day ... why is it so ridiculous that it could be us too? I'm finding that I am talking myself out when I really should be talking myself in.

Dont beat yourself up too much. You are only human. If you can, have a nice lazy day, watch something you love on TV and eat your favourite dinner. Cuddle and joke.

One way or another you will have a baby. 💗💙

Update on my test: line was super faint and I was 11DPO so I'm not holding out much hope. Still have random dull period like pains for over 24 hours now - no period, not due until Wed 25th. Weird 🤷🏼‍♀️

Rinoa · 22/09/2019 12:54

@MisssC3025 @MisssC3025 don't worry these things happen. As long as you've identified it's the stress talking you can take a step back and try again. Allow yourself a quick scream into the pillow or cry lol then move on, at least I try that !

Didn't realise we were close on CDs! I'm 6dpo going to try and hold out until 30th September to test lol

MisssC3025 · 22/09/2019 12:38

Hi all it's OP here!

I'm 7dpo now (I think as my natural cycle app can't figure out when I ovulated this month, as my basal thermometer was being temperamental) I have the sorest of boobs more swollen than normal. Had a painful twinge in side/back yesterday.

I'm trying to stay positive, but today DP and I had a huge argument over the littlest thing (which we both identified was because we are so nervous about TTC as it's really getting to us!) worried the stress level I got up to this morning may have a big effect!

Would love some comments of positivity, as I'm feeling quite low today 😞

Hope you're all well xx

Hi all, mind if I join?
I'm 28 ttc from February, had a mc at 6 weeks in July with cycle going back to normal straight away. Ovulated today according to OPK, hopefully it will be our month. We are getting married next month so it would be amazing if it happened now

Jurassiclover · 21/09/2019 20:59

@Xarx123 ahhh it's definitely getting stronger! It looks promising. Fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated!

MisssC3025 · 21/09/2019 20:34

@StephyRose thanks for you lovely comment! I'm trying my hardest to stay positive ☺️☺️ good luck for 25th🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Hayleylou89 yes you probably are best waiting! Plus saves you money and you can buy a FRER with the money you've saved from buying lots x

@AL94X keep us posted !!

@Xarx123 I can see line ! It's getting stronger I can see it 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 keep us posted ! X

Thanks for tips on drinking @Rinoa and @Hey1256 update- I had like three sips so all good! Wasn't too hard!!

OP posts:
Rinoa · 21/09/2019 13:57

@MisssC3025 I would not drink at all, but that's just me! and really if it was me I wouldn't go lol I like my drink so I know I'd be tempted too much , me and bottomless are BFFs! FYI if you ever need a place try hotbox in London, never fails!

AL94X · 21/09/2019 10:43

@MisssC3025 probably didn't keep it horizontal as I lifted it up against the light to see it better. it was definitely there but must of been a tiny bit of colour still moving across then disappeared. Oh well ill try again in a few days if still no af. Good luck to everyone else this month ❤

StephyRose · 21/09/2019 09:44

@MisssC3025 thank you! You are so positive to talk to so the name of the thread is very apt xx

These pains feel like period pains and I usually have PP on the day of AF or just before ... but day 22 of cycle is far too early. I've never had a cycle that short before ... 🤔

I was disappointed an hour ago when I thought it might not be. But I feel okay about it now. Plenty of time for trying next month .... DP won't know what has hit him! 🤣🤣

Will test again on the 25th anyway. 🤞🤞

Hayleylou89 · 21/09/2019 09:41

@MisssC3025

I will... with being so far from AF im probably best waiting a while before testing arnt i? Not due AF until 1st October x

MisssC3025 · 21/09/2019 08:58

@StephyRose well you took the right test if testing early. They do say FRER can detect few days before AF and I guess it's only 4 days! So 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 maybe don't take anymore until 25th (I know that's very hard but will be a lot stronger then if you are pregnant!)

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

MisssC3025 · 21/09/2019 08:56

@Hayleylou89 This sounds very promising if it's a pink colour! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 have fun today and keep us posted!

StephyRose · 21/09/2019 08:37

Hi lovely ladies,

I am a glutton for punishment as I tested just now when I promised I wouldn't... AF due on 25th and have been getting very odd pains which cant be period pains - unless AF comes early.

I did a FRER test. I'm not going to post a photo as the faintness of the test line is embarrassing haha! BUT if I look hard enough it is there. I opened a second test and I couldn't see a test or pregnancy line at ALL in comparison to the one I just used.

Thoughts on this one? Maybe I am just being a Hopeful Hannah. Hmm

Hayleylou89 · 21/09/2019 08:19

@missc3025

Thanks for replying ...So i come off the pill in January and was getting a married in June so was using the app to prevent for the first 6 months, Went on honeymoon in Aug so this is first month really TTC my cycles are either dead on 35 days or dead on 38 but each month its one or the other... yes its so wierd that im So far from AF and it definitely wasnt like AF it was a light pinky colour, I dnt really feel any other symptoms my boobs arnt sore, (they were a little during ovulation as always and i had ovulation pains too for a couple of days) but no sore boobs now, just a little headachy but nothing major, ill try and post pics in a few days, Im going the fair today for neice and nephews bday (think ill
Stay off any rides just incase) xx

imnewtothis · 21/09/2019 08:07

@MisssC3025 thanks so much that's super helpful, I sent a picture of the smiley to my partner so he is prepped for extra baby dancing haha

MisssC3025 · 21/09/2019 08:02

@Hayleylou89 hey I use Natural Cycles! Great app! The fact you had something when you wiped could be implantation bleeding 🤞🏼🤞🏼 as you're so far from AF yet!! You won't be able to download a picture yet if you're new to Mumsnet! Think it takes a few days.

If I were you I would wait until first day AF is due to test! And I would use a FRER as pink dye is more sensitive. I have everything crossed for you!

How long have you been trying?
