TTC First Baby Thread 23

Forgot to say. 13dpo today, had a bit of brown cm yesterday but now normal cm and I am also very constipated. Not testing again till tomorrow morning

@whatsthecraic91 guess we are in the waiting game now 😭 didnt bring a test to my grans so will do one at home tomorrow morning unless AF arrives

@Kiza my DH said that about pressed haha! We ended up reducing the amount we used haha

@ValidUser that's awesome! Is that the egg quality measurement?

Also DP commented on the preseed tonight saying it felt weird, that it was too slippery... 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh well, 4 days in a row for this months marathon!

Welcome @ToCaden this is a fab group of ladies with so much support and knowledge and makes you feel like you're not going crazy! 😆

@ValidUser yay that's great news! Did you just find out today?
@whatsthecraic91 we got our results about 10 days later over the phone with the GP so he could ask questions and explain it rather than a letter.

@Anny27 I think she will be here by morning so I’m counting myself out this month! Not actually feeling too bad as earlier DP called me to say he has got his sperm analysis appointment at the hospital this coming Tuesday! Gives me something to focus on! Does anyone know how long it takes for the results to come back?

@ValidUser that’s fab!! Well done 👏🏼

@whatsthecraic91 yep my temp was still up this morning but I am at my grannies tonight and didnt bring my thermometer so wknt know tomorrow!

Yep haha i was "feeling nauseous" last night and now If Af comes I know it was all in my mind haha

@Anny27 is your temp still up? Mine is and higher than yesterday and I haven’t had any more spotting since this morning! I hate the way our bodies play games with us 😐 I always say I’ll wait to test but I never ever can! Same here I always think I am every month, I’m sure my DP thinks I’m a nutcase the things I say to him 😅

@whatsthecraic91 line eyes are getting me too!! Its so hard. I think If i am out this month I reaaaaaaallywanna wait till AF is late next time to test.

@MIW01 ahh okay that makes sense, so DTD every other day is best for his sperm?

@ToCaden welcome to the group:)

have had some brown stained CM so not sure whether AF is on the way!

If she comes I will be distraught, really thought it was it this month 😭😭

@ToCaden sorry to answer your question no there was no colour, I had a case of line eyes!

@ToCaden it was a one step IC so I’m hoping it’s just faulty - I don’t buy FRERs anymore as they are too expensive. I have 2 clearblues in the house for if I get a line on a cheap one.

Welcome to the group, we are a great bunch if I do say so myself 😁

@whatsthecraic91 does the line have any colour to it? I'd say if you tried with a frer at 13dpo and got a negative there's not much luck this cycle, though exceptions do happen. Other tests can take longer to tell for certain.

New to the group. Sorry to those of you who've been attacked by AF this month. Best of luck for next cycle. TTC is definitely an exercise of patience.

@1990shopefulftm @Lottiepink sorry about AF 😔

@Anny27 same here but I think I have line eyes as when I take a pic too it’s not there 😢 woke up this morning with an absolutely banging head and had a weird acid reflux thing when I woke up. Had a wee bit of pink spotting this morning too but don’t feel AF like at all. I’m 13DPO surely it would be showing positive by now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry to hear AF arrived @Lottiepink @1990shopefulftm

Fingers crossed the line darkens @Anny27

Sorry for confusion @Anny27 @Kiza DP has already had 1 SA I meant GP advised him not to DTD every day because of his SA results he needs time to replenish lol. Anyway, we chatted about it and decided to leave it last night.

Noticed I've not had any EWCM this month and cervix position doesn't fit with usual fertile signs!

@1990shopefulftm @Lottiepink sorry to hear AF has arrived for you ladies..
@Anny27 that is sounding promising, you have such great will power to hold out for a couple of day's! 💪🏼

@ToCaden welcome, are you new to the group? Or maybe I missed you? Try to hang tight for a decent testing day

@Anny27 Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Awwh sorry @Lottiepink and @1990shopefulftm :(

I tested and there is a SLITHER of a line.....but cant even pick up on camera so I am not convinced. Will retest in a few days but I am not holding out much hope

Af arrived for me this morning, woke me. up at 3.30 with the pains 🙄😕 good look @anny27 and.@whatsthecraic91

Af arrived this morning , annoyed it was a little bit late but onwards and upwards. My knees pretty uncomfortable this morning so on the bright side at least I m safe to take something for the pain.

7dpo here. Had a huge amount of cramping radiating from the crotch on 5dpo, a large temp dip below coverline morning of 6dpo, and spent much of today and yesterday fiddling with my shirt due to sore nipples.

I haven't had sore nipples since age 13 when they first appeared so that is not normal for me.

Trying not to get my hopes up to avoid disappointment, and also to help discourage me from testing ridiculously early. I managed to get the timings so well this cycle so it'll be difficult not to be disappointed if it still hasn't worked.

Promised myself I can test Wednesday morning, but can already tell it'll be hard to hold off that long.

@anny27 I may join in on the action, I'm supposed to be 14dpo tomorrow. My luteal is usually only 10/11 last cycle was the same. I'm not sure if it's coincidence or that the apps getting my ovulation wrong. I know your luteal never usually changes so it's really odd!

I have a feeling af is coming because of the tell tale signs with on and off cramping etc. Had a few symptoms that I've noticed last 2 days ...
Creamy cm this morning, heartburn, bit of a sore head, felt hot all day, bloated, gassy and constipated, I don't know if they are just the usual af symptoms I get every month or anything more, but I will keep my fingers crossed!

@Anny27 @whatsthecraic91 @1990shopefulftm oooh exciting that all 3 of you are testing tomorrow!

@Anny27 I'm currently on O day so DTD every day at the moment due to a delayed start because of DP 2nd SA and him not being allowed to ejaculate 48 hours before the test @MIW01 not sure when your DP SA is but will probably be the same rules.

@Lozzlepop glad you're feeling better in yourself, just take each day as it comes as you've been through a tremendous amount.

I rang the hospital today asking when my TV scan would be and they said end of Feb so don't think our consultant is waiting until all our tests are complete and then she will meet us again to deliver the results and discuss next steps.

@whatsthecraic91, in all honesty I dont know. I ve gotten barely any pre AF symptoms since I was 18 and I m almost 25 now.
