TTC First Baby Thread 23

We use tiny bit of pressed each time -cant hurt :D @whatsthecraic91

@1990shopefulftm I use clue and femometer (femometer helps determine whether an OPK is positive or not- you take a picture and it tells you:) )

can anybody recommend a free tracking app? Ordered some cheap opks to try after af is over.

@Anny27 yea stopped my pill Christmas Eve 2018! Oh I hope so I’m just so worried something is wrong. I know DP is ok as he has a DS. Good luck with SMEP this month! Might try preseed next cycle as it’s the only thing we haven’t tried

Ahh sorry lovely :( @whatsthecraic91 was it January 2019 you started trying then?

Yep definitely wise to see the GP and it might be something really simple that they can help with 🤞🤞🤞

@timswifey ahh yep definitley keep DTD if you are still getting fertile cm :D yeah I dont take notice of when my app says I will ovulate, I just know from my symptoms

I am cycle day 4 and period Is coming to an end so hopefully will be starting SMEP kn a few days :)

So I caved and tested early, BFN of course. I’m 12DPO so I reckon I’m definitely out. Just waiting for AF. Really thought being on holiday was going to be my lucky charm! Time to make an appointment with the GP 😓 can’t believe it to be honest, it’s been a whole year. I think I’ll just huff with life today and stay in my jammies and Netflix. Not even telling DP, what’s the point!!

Hello, checking in as it's been a while since I've caught up on the thread.

CD22 here but still getting fertile CF so going to keep DTD for now...

I've been re-reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility and getting inspired to keep a closer eye on my symptoms rather than just going off my Ovia app.

How are you all doing?

Oh ladies I’m trying not to think about it or get my hopes up!! I have been drinking everyday since Christmas Eve and ate a whole wheel of brie 😅 I’ve made sure I’ve enjoyed myself just incase 😂

Ahh sorry AF arrived @1990shopefulftm - compensation of being able to have a drink on NYE I guess! We might be on similar cycles for next month then :) i don't know if my ovulation will be delayed because of my miscarriage so guess we will see

@whatsthecraic91 that really sounds promising esp being pink!!!! My spotting before AF is always brown

@whatsthecraic91
Fingers crossed that it could be implantation bleeding for you.

@1990shopefulftm sorry AF got you 🙁

Second day of pink spotting, I usually do get a bit of spotting a day or 2 before AF but this is earlier than usual 9DPO today 🤞🏼

Well Afs started a day early. Hopefully cycle 2 could be the one.

@Anny27 yes they are which is why I m very confused that I ve had a tiny bit of spotting the past couple of days. Hoping it doesn't mean something is wrong

Morning :) we are having a restful day at home after 4 days of travelling the UK to see family haha!

@Kiza yes this is the only time I will ever be pleased for my period to have arrived! Enjoy Cape town, that sounds amazing :D yes definitley relax and take it easy, let us know how you got on when you are back xx

@1990shopefulftm you have pretty regular periods then, mine are a few days off usually

@whatsthecraic91 hope you had a lovely 2nd Christmas!!

@MIW01 congratulations! Such lovely news ☺️

@Anny27 even though it's never great for us to get AF at least this is now the proper end of that difficult cycle for you and the fresh start of something new

@Lozzlepop hope you had a lovely day celebrating and sharing your wonderful news with your family 💜

So Christmas SMEP completed and for once I enjoyed it, must've been the absence of work that helped!
Fly to Cape Town tomorrow which will be a great distraction during the TWW and think I may temporarily delete my apps to help me fully take my mind of it so if you don't here much from me I'm still thinking of you ladies but taking a mini break 😄

@whatsthecraic91 I seem to be getting a very small amount of spotting which hasn't happened before so Afs possibly starting 2 days early.

Morning all! Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!! DP is away getting DSS so we are doing Christmas Day all over again today! Thankfully no cooking as I have a mountain of leftovers 😀

@MIW01 ahh!! Congratulations over the moon for you!

@1990shopefulftm you aren’t out until AF shows when is she due!

@Anny27 that’s great AF is back so you can get started again!!

@Lozzlepop glad your announcement went well 😊

@Anny27
Late Saturday evening or early Sunday morning, varies by a few hours most cycles.

Morning ladies

@MIW01 ahhhhhh congratulations that's lovely news!!

@Anny27 thanks so much for the lovely words ☺️☺️ Everything seems to be going well and both sets of parents were delighted with the news!

I hope everyone had a fabulous day with family yesterday 🎄❤️

Morning :) I got a well welcomed christmas present....my period haha! Back to ttc this cycle now so can join you ladies with the tracking and DTD. 🙌

@1990shopefulftm ahh whens it due?

BFN again this morning, now to wait to see if AF turns up. Having some cramps this morning but it's probably all the food I ve been eating.

A Christmas proposal that's wonderful :)

I m going to test again tommorow morning then leave it till Saturday af will either be Saturday night or Sunday morning , I m normally very patient but not feeling so much at the moment.

Awwwh congratulations on your engagement @MIW01 ❤❤ wedding will be another thing to focus on now :D yayy!

@1990shopefulftm ahh let us know when you test again 🤞🤞

@Kiza wow our cycles like to surprise us every once in a while haha

Just recovering from a food coma haha!

Merry Christmas! Just wanted to pop in with Christmas cheer and good news . . . DP is now DF. Popped the question this morning! Best Christmas ever!

BFN this morning but probably really is too early since AF is due saturday night. If it doesnt happen this cycle, I ll try to be more patient but will get some OPK's so i know my cycle better.

@Anny27 weirdly I'm still spotting, it's now a tiny amount when I wipe but I've still got all the other usual Ovulation symptoms and opks are getting stronger. Just so weird,
It's been such a long one for you, hope Christmas gives you some wonderful memories though.
