TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

@Katie1109 Morning chick! Yes, so excited. Hopefully we will cover ourselves well this weekend 🙌🏻👌🏻 yay to the vivid dream, that could be a good sign! Hmm, well I think you can get watery CM after O too? There's not a lot you can do (apart from jump on him as soon as he is home) so try not to worry. Remember, that what will be, will be. What CD are you?

@Raizelrea sorry to hear that lovely, I bet that was lovely though. So pleased for you seeing the silver lining! And remember, you're not out until AF!

@claireb707 you could still be in if still no AF at all! Are you back from holiday today? I hope you've had a lovely time!

@Hewie30 Happy Friday babe, how are you? X

So sorry @Raizelrea, I got a BFN this morning too...
Cd29, 19dpo still no sign of period

Morning ladies, it was a BFN for me sadly, not even a shadow of a line. It was nice test with OH though ☺️

Morning ladies, Happy Friday!

@myttcjourney Yes I think so too. It takes a while for the little swimmers to get up to the egg so it's best to DTD (do the deed) on the run up so you get more chance of having the sperm there. That's why I'm going for every other day and then everyday over the FW to make sure. I guess, if we just go for it, something should happen right? 🙊

@Makeafamily19 thank you for explaining the dye sitch perfectly 🤣👌🏻 I'm yet to even use my FRERs. This will be the month. How exciting!!

How is everyone today?

@Raizelrea are you testing chick? Good luck!

@myttcjourney haha don't worry it takes a while to pick everything up, especially the acronyms! Blue dye apparently can show more false positives - like evaporation lines from the dye drying and bleeding lines I think. People tend to trust pink dye more as they tend to show up better and be more accurate 🙂 I've not been here that long though. My 4th cycle but weren't massively trying for the first 2. It takes a while to monitor your cycle if you haven't paid attention to it before.

@Gigi318

Yea I feel the same, I started testing a bit late I think and I read your chances are higher if you do it the 3 days before you get your static smiley..which we didn’t! Feel like next month could be more successful 😀

I haven’t heard about the pink dye thing? What is that about? xx

@Makeafamily19 hehehe yes it does. It's crazy what the body does. I'm hoping I'll spot some soon, but not mad if I don't. CM already watery so we're at a good place. Thank you, I'm enjoying it at the moment and plan to just make it all count!

@myttcjourney welcome! Not too much longer for you to wait now. These lovely ladies suggest the First Response Early Result (FRER) so I'd go with those. Or cheaper ones as long as they're pink dye. It's all very exciting. Last month was my first month and I joined MN after my fertile window and feel like I have learnt so much and we didn't get to give it a good shot to be honest. So hope this month is it 🤞🏻

@Makeafamily19

Oops can tell I’m new here, tabbed the wrong person in my reply 😂😂😂

@gigi318 ahhh amazing, yes we are very close in cycles

This is our first month trying. Think it would take a miracle to happen first month, but we can hope 😂

@Raizelrea fingers crossed for tomorrow! 🤞🏼😄

@Gigi318 jealous of your EWCM too 😂 I seem to get it some months and others not, so strange. Though I read you can get it but sometimes it stays higher up and doesn't actually come out if that makes sense?! Enjoy all the DTD and being in control 😊

@myttcjourney welcome! We have similar cycles, my AF is due 12/10 and I think I got my peak 26/09. How long have you been TTC?

Hey everyone
Hope it’s ok to join this chat

We are TTC. My LMP was 11th sept. Was using the clear blue digital ovulation kit. Got a solid smiley on 24th. We DTD 24/25/26

Now getting faint cramps (possible implantation cramps) 🤞🏼

I won’t do a pregnancy test until 11th when period is due

Does anyone have any recommendations of which tests are best?

Wishing you all the best on your journeys 😊😊😊

@Raizelrea eeeek so exciting. Less than 12 hours to go now. I am sort of jealous of you, but I'd also be very nervous too. You know I hate POAS 🤣🙈 I do usually get EWs and always find it a bit creepy 🙊 but it's a positive thing, I guess!!

@Gigi318 I'm jealois, not sure if I ever get anything that's super obviously egg-like 😆 And thanks, I'm feeling pretty nauseous but that may just be nerves haha!

@Raizelrea exactly chick, I'm excited now. I'm hoping that I'll start to spot the stickiness soon. Definitely think that it'll get sticky if not EWy soon. I do usually get very obvious EWs. So we shall see. I am excited for you for the morning. I wish I was at this stage 🙊

@Katie1109 Thank you! I'll keep you all posted of course ☺️ I hope you do get the little girl from your dream! The beginning of the TWW can seem like it will take forever I know, but it will be here before you know it! Are you testing next weekend?

@Gigi318 Thanks lovely! Ah watery is good, I sometimes struggle to tell EWCM and sticky CM apart but I know watery always means things are on the right track! I'm good, just really impatient now haha!

@Hewie30 Yeah I hate UTIs but not much I can do - I even had an ultrasound of my bladder done once to see if anything could be making them more frequent but didn't amount much. Just one of those things. Hope your clears up soon!

I'm CD 11 so will be testing imminently, I don't have your patience so most likely will be tomorrow morning, Saturday at latest.

@Katie1109 that's good, so you're not driving yourself too crazy yet. That's definitely handy to know, so you can see if you've maybe caught again. Hurrah. Yes mine are usually tender before AF. So if I get that post O then I shall be pleased hehehe! That's true, but you may have missed it or there may not have been much. It's a waiting game!

@Hewie30 hello, hello! Oh chick, that's not good. Make sure you rest and drink lottssss of water. At least double what you normally would to help flush it out!! That's fantastic. Well, today, I am a woman defeated. Exhausted from that workout class yesterday plus too much wine and not enough sleep. I can barely focus today. Roll on bedtime, I say! No updates as of yet, I don't think. The watery CM is here and hopefully I shall spot some EW soon! Enjoying DTD, which is nice. Although I don't think I have the energy for it at all today 🙊 how is AF today?

@Raizelrea Oh really! Hopefully that doesn't mean another long cycle 😂. I've stopped the pregnacare so should be interesting to see if that's shortened my cycle at all this month. Do you? That must be horrible!! You must get fed up of it? My sister used to suffer with cysitits alot and hated it. How are you? Where are you in your cycle now?

@gigi318 Thanks hun 😊❤️, I'm attempting the laid back approach and just been really knocked with this UTI, work are sending me home today so I'm just going to rest up! We have haven't we! Isn't it weird, it's like it knows we're talking about it 😂. Haha yay!! Yeah I'm just taking it easy and chilling at the moment. How are you? Any updates for moi!

@flossy12 how are you hun? You getting on okay with little peanut?

@Raizelrea eeeek that's good. All you have to do is wait for FMU and you're good. Woohoo! You've got this. Less than one day to go!!! So far, it's got a lot more watery and don't worry, not weird at all. Not to me anyway 🤣 so we're looking good, could just do with some EWs now and woohoo! How are you??

@Katie1109 thanks chick, everything is looking good. Yes, hoping I may spot some EWs like Sunday or something - that would be handy. Not sure which day will be peak, so will shall see. But I also don't really want to overthink it! So just plan to keep DTD and enjoy the next few days. And if I spot some EW at any point, then I'm in luck. Hurrah! How are you today chick?

@Gigi318 Yeah I think may do tomorrow, original plan was friday but unsure if my impatience will get the best of me haha. I'm kind of expecting it to be negative though as I'm not really having symptoms other than brief waves of nausea and on and off pain in boobs.

Eciting indeed - I'm sure your OH would agree haha! Almost the weekend! Have you noticed any changes in your CM so far? (Sorry weird question to ask I know haha)

@flossy12 hehehehe yay, totally going to do that when we catch then 🙊🥰 we hope you have an amazing time. Some much needed relaxation for you and peanut!!!

@Raizelrea eeeek yay, that's good. I also woke up really early too this morning (4.30am 🙄) after a crazily dream!!! Yayy. Maybe tomorrow?? This is so exciting. I love testing time (as long as its not too early). Exactly, I am not so worried as I think we will cover the run up for definite and if I happen to spot any EWs when he is gone then we can quickly DTD when he is back, just in case! Such an exciting time!
