TTC First Baby Thread 23

congratulations both of you :)

it's funny that griefs been mentioned, my first cycle I lost my grandad a couple of weeks prior but felt mentally like I'd come to terms with it very quickly but it ended up being a 26-day cycle instead of 28.

Hoping it's going to be back to normal this one so AF i think is due thursday evening so I m waiting until then to test at least.

Sorry to hear it's been rough @Lozzlepop

Fingers crossed for you @whatsthecraic91

Hope all is well @Lottiepink

It's all very frustrating when thi is don't work out the way you want! I think we all are all very patient and virtuous in this journey!

Hehe thanks for keeping my feet on the ground @KittieKath

Congrats @georgiexo !! How far along are you? I reckon I'm 4+5 today.

@Anny27 yes Sep 22nd - have hardly had any symptoms today apart from raging hunger and thirst and feeling tired, actually now I think about it I had terrible insomnia last night and was awake for hours! Could be hormones I guess.

Ooh fingers crossed @whatsthecraic91 !!

@Lozzlepop I'm so sorry - do you have a free day tomorrow or are you working?

@Anny27 awk thank you so much reading that really made me smile 😊 I hope it’s your month too 🤞🏼

@Lozzlepop

@georgiexo wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months x

Forgot to say yesterday I lost another 1lb 😁 that’s not walking either, I really need to get back into it again! 4lbs to go!!

Also I’m treating myself to a baileys tonight, 17 days alcohol free is pretty good I reckon! Would have broken it before the end of the month anyway as I’m for Kraków on the 29th! Have a nice evening all 😘

Thank you everyone! I'm shitting it for the next 8-10 weeks. I will leave this thread now as not to make anyone upset but I wish you all so so so much luck! You've all been great to read. You're not alone and it WILL happen for you ❤️❤️❤️

Hi ladies!

Well annoyingly the place we went for lunch yesterday was closed for its winter break still 🙈 so had to make do with a subway lol!

@Kiza ah it’s just a little white lie, sounds a really positive outcome and fret to know there’s a plan if you don’t get your bfp before then!

@Anny27 thanks lovely! Yeah I know, I look back and do wonder how we’ve got through it to be honest- it’s really tough!

@timswifey here you don’t even see the doctor you just self refer to the midwife so I wouldn’t worry too much! Glad to hear Tim is thrilled ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 thanks ❤️ Deffo feel this has been the worst experience pain wise!

@georgiexo congratulations ❤️

@Lottiepink thanks lovely! How’s things with you? How have the appointments been?

@whatsthecraic91 I have only felt “pregnant” once because I felt really nauseous but the rest of the times I have felt normal so don’t count yourself out yet!

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday, I’ve had a regression and am in so much pain again 😭 really hoping this is over soon, I’m so over it now!

@whatsthecraic91 the cycle I conceived I remember saying on here "i have no symptoms" - literally only had the cramps and then at 10-12dpo I was shattered and really hot at night so decided to test.

So there is every bit of hope! I know this is silly but I really am expecting a bfp for you this month. I reaaaaaaly hope I am right

@timswifey CD21 today ovulated early this cycle CD13, well that could have been when I’ve been ovulating all along but just didn’t know as I wasn’t temping! Now I think of it I always assumed I was CD16-18 so could be the reason I haven’t caught yet 🤞🏼 I have no symptoms at all today! How are you feeling?

@georgiexo congratulations 🥳

@Lottiepink @anny27 we are all around the same this cycle! CD21 today and 7/8DPO 😁 when should we start testing 😜😅

Zero symptoms today ☹️ I feel completely normal, had crampies and creamy CM a couple of days ago but that’s it 😕

Happy sunday girls :D 7dpo and no real symptoms apart from cramps at 5dpo and backpain

@Lottiepink hey lovely, it's hard to keep up sometimes isnt it! Yep I am 7dpo today, ovulated a few days later than normal this cycle! AF due next Sunday 😬😬 will you test early or wait for AF?

@georgiexo congratulations 🥳🥳

@timswifey I remember being alarmed by the cramps in early pregnancy but they are very normal, just the uterus expanding :D so exciting for you! End of september due date?

@whatsthecraic91 creamy CM sounds promissing 🙌🙌🙌 I actually didnt have an implantation dip when I was pregnant but I know that quite a few people do have them! I had a cycle without being pregnant when i had a dip as well. So it's a guessing game haha!

Hello everyone,

I keep trying to get back into messaging and then get side tracked with work etc, so busy at the moment, but missing having you all to chat too!

What a time to come back on though, @timswifey and @georgiexo, congratulations to you both! amazing news!

@lozzlepop I'm so sorry, what you are going through is so awful, sending lots of love

@anny27 how you getting on? Think we were similar cycles? I'm CD22 and 9dpo, my apps say I've Ov'd on cd13, really early for me. It's so strange since we started the fertility appointments I seem to be ovulating earlier, no idea why, previously it was 16-19 I usually only have a 10 day luteal phase tho, so af should arrive Tuesday 🙄

Guys I'm freaking out. Just done a first response test bang on 2 weeks after conception and it's positive!!!

I'm going to do more but wtf 😭😢😭😭😭😭 shaking

@timswifey I suggest not getting TOO excited about going to the doctors... I waited a week for an appointment, and then it was such an anti-climax. They didn't even test me. Just asked my weight and height, and gave me a flu jab. Then sent me off again to organise my own midwife appointment online! ha ha!!

Sorry for multiple messages - it's my phone grrr! Tim very happy and excited 💕

Ooh @whatsthecraic91 what CD are you? Little cramps have been pretty much my only symptom.

Ooh @whatsthecraic91 what CD are you? Little cramps have been pretty much my only symptom.

• a big rise again too

My spelling isn’t usually this bad - is that a symptom? 😂😂

@Lozzlepop so sorry you’re having such a bad time! hope you had a lovely lunch!

@Anny27 my temp has had a bit rise against too! I was googling and learnt of an implantation dip! So I’ll be looking out for this! Have you had this when pregnant? I’m still a bit crampy and I have lots of creamy CM and I’m usually very dry after ovulation right until my AF 🤞🏼

@timswifey still so buzzing for you 😁 I’m sure you found it hard to concentrate at work! How did Tim take the news?

Aww thanks so much ladies! Have been working today so just catching up now - can't seem to concentrate on anything.

@Kiza love that you are trying hypnotherapy. I think I'm 16dpo

Yes @Anny27 I've been thinking the same. Would it be truly awful if I just said my last period was ten days after it actually was (so tell them it was 17th Dec rather than the 7th). I just have a feeling explaining that I was grieving might make it too complicated and they might just ignore me...?

Aww @whatsthecraic91 and @Lozzlepop 🥰 how was your lunch? I feel so lucky that I've not really had any nausea yet and food still appeals to me 😂

Thanks @KittieKath 💕 and @MIW01

I actually wish I'd tested yesterday as now have to wait til Monday to call the doctors.

@timswifey oh wow, what a line! Amazing news for you!

@Kiza yes day 21 blood results depend on amount of body fat/waist circumference but as a general rule ought to be over 30!

Hope you had a lovely lunch today @Lozzlepop

Thanks @Kiza and @Anny27 yeah it's weird, there's definitely an energetic shift since I found this out. I am continuing my EFT and reiki self healing stuff and the more I do, the better I feel and the easier it is to eat right and make better choices so 🤞

@Lozzlepop will be thinking of you on Monday for sure! Yep 4 miscarriages, especially in a year is certainly a lot to go through :( thays good that your consultant is soon!

@kiza definitley good that you pushed at the new GP! Do you have your tests upcoming then? I don't have any knowledge of progesterone levels sorry xx

Any of you ladies knowledgeable on day 21 blood results. Just received my results letter and it says I had a level of 51 but after googling this makes no sense to me other than I ovulated? Wondering what a good level should be?

@timswifey

Yay! Such wonderful news! And such a strong positive too.... congrats!

I have been popping back on here to find out and was keeping my fingers crossed for you... wishing you a H&H 9-months.

🤗

@Lozzlepop @Anny27 yes we saw a consultant at the hospital mid December. I had to lie to my GP as when I went to my first GP after 6 months they said it has to be a year of trying despite me being older. We then moved house (coincidentally) and I lied to the new GP about how long we had been trying to ensure we got referred.
The consultant said she will wait until we have had all the tests and then book in for a second consultant on. If all tests come back ok we will then be referred for 1 cycle of IVF before I turn 40 in October.

@MIW01 nothing better than not having to set an alarm, I’m still lying in bed! That sounds fab that you have the option to go private- I would deffo go for it!

@Anny27 I think it passed on Thursday night- think that’s why I was in so much pain. Just really hope that Monday brings good news, even the sonographer couldn't believe what we’ve been going through!

Going to go to my face little place for lunch today, it’s literally in the middle of nowhere but they do the best sandwiches and cakes! Hope everyone has a lovely day

@timswifey massive congratulations there’s no doubting that bfp ❤️ What lovely news, so so pleased for you!
