TTC baby #1 Threat #2

Hi everyone, can anyone see a line? If you cant just say cause I'm not sure if I'm seeing things lol!

Hello everyone, I’d like to join this thread if that is okay?

I’m 30 and we’re TTC our first baby. We’ve been trying since September with no luck so far. I had the mirena coil removed at the end of August after 6 blissful years of no periods! I have had a 33, 35, 22 and 28 day cycle so hoping we’re heading in the right direction! I’ve not had any positive OPKs yet despite quite religious testing, which is worrying me a bit but I’m trying not to ruminate on it.

I’m currently on CD 4 and due to ovulate around 11th Jan according to my Ovia app. I am going to start OPK testing this weekend I think. Im committing now to not taking any pregnancy tests until the day my period is due - once I start i just get more worried!

I’m looking forward to having people to talk to about this as whilst my OH is lovely, he is not that interested in the detail!

Congratulations Curbside, Keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊

Thank you @itsemily
Today is CD 29. I usually have 25-27 day cycle. The line isn't that faint at all when I looked at it again. It's just not as dark as the line that's already there, if that makes sense.

I've felt sick since Saturday. I'm just feeling a bit cautious about the brown discharge.

I took a test at 6am and there's definitely a line DH could see it without his glasses on I had more brown discharge just before and was convinced it would be negative.

I feel so nauseous and still have some cramps, so I'm going to try to see a nurse or GP tomorrow for reassurance. My default setting is "Worry" which doesn't help, as DH has gone back to sleep and I'm lying here thinking about the symptoms of ectopic pregnancies

We're not telling family or friends until I'm much further along (I will be telling work though), so it might be difficult to hide if I keep feeling sick. We'll see!

BFPs and baby dust for ll of us in 2020

That sounds absolutely lovely @notalwaysalondoner have a great time! It really is helpful to be able to hop on here and spill all my inner thoughts. DH is so chilled about it while I'm inwardly obsessing over my cramps etc 🤦🏻‍♀️

@notalwaysalondoner sounds like you have a fab new year in store! Fingers crossed for you!if Cake counts I'm definitely in with a chance this month! 😂
I already have a major food baby on the go! Here's hoping me and my DH can get a real one in my belly too! 🤞 😂🤞

@CurbsideProphet I know exactly what you mean about a captain’s log, but this is the only place I can talk about it and it is such a help to talk to everyone here and share how it’s going.

I think I ovulated yesterday or today, had some EWCM today although I don’t tend to get much at all. Hubby was away 26-29th but we’ve DTD 29th and 30th and going to try again today if we can get the energy up! It helps we’re staying in a beautiful country house for New Years with a four poster bed and a fire in our bedroom... very romantic! I’m just so keen for this cycle to be the one as I’ve been more chilled and certainly stocked up nutritionally (if cake counts...)!

I've decided to test tomorrow morning if there's no AF, so I'll let you know either way.

@CurbsideProphet i tagged myself in the above instead of u 😂

@Cheyanne101 i remember a friend of mine who was convinced AF was on the way because she had real period cramps the exact same as AF, she now has a 6 year old lol, but i know its not the case for everyone. I think trust your gutt if feel better waiting another few days thats the best thing to do. Im gutted i can feel AF on the way too i actually get a lot of wind/ass gas lol so thats always a tell tale sign for me so sadly i know im out again! But you still have hope!!🤞🤞🤞 x

@Cheyanne101 I've been back through my Flo app and AF comes from day 25-28, though most commonly on day 26. So technically I'm not really late yet... Are cramps normal if I was pregnant? I'm reliant on google and the results have been conflicting

@bubblyboo900 I know what you mean. I've been on pins and would rather know now. I think I'll test first thing tomorrow morning if there's no sign of AF. That would be 15 DPO and should give an accurate result.

Obviously I've been googling my symptoms and am worrying about chemical and ectopic pregnancies because of my cramps.

I know what you mean about all those years panicking about getting pregnant when it's really not that easy

@CurbsideProphet this all sounds really promising? Are you usually very on time with AF? Personally i have an addiction to testing lol so if i was you i would be since your period os technically late? But i also see your reasoning for waiting because the BFNs are so hard to see!! Good luck either way xx

@CurbsideProphet. Thank you. I took a test nearly a week early so you are being very patient waiting!! I’m not sure I could do that!! I personally preferred to get the disappointment on my terms, rather than wait for AF. If that makes sense. My fingers are crossed for you 🤞🏻

Congrats to you @bubblyboo900
I'm currently deliberating whether to POAS I don't drink anyway and we've no plans tonight, so it doesn't matter from that point of view!

Hi guys. Thanks @itsemily for the new thread. I didn’t realise that ovulation happened so quickly after getting a positive OPK. You spend all your younger years trying to avoid getting pregnant and it turns out it’s pretty darn difficult anyway!!
I have had slight spotting and cramps, got a stronger positive pregnancy test last night which made me feel better. AF would be due tomorrow so hoping to get through the next few days, and have a clear blue to take at the weekend to hopefully get a really solid/dark line. Even though it’s so early we have found that we will need to tell a few people as I have a small NYE get together tonight and the works belated Xmas party on Saturday. OH doesn’t see the harm in telling anyone and everyone, but he doesn’t seem to get how hard it is to deal with the fallout of things don’t work out. It’s not telling people that bothers me, it’s the reactions they give. They don’t know what to do/say and last time I had an overwhelming feeling that I had to be ‘ok’ straight away. Anyway... I hope you all enjoy your Nye and that 2020 is the year of mega baby dust!!

I feel like I'm completing a captain's log or something here but I don't have anyone to talk to IRL.
CD 28
Still no sign of AF, but I still have some cramps and feel a bit sick. No brown discharge since yesterday morning.

DH thinks I should wait until the end of the week before POAS in case AF is just late. His reasoning is that waiting until Friday won't change anything if I am pregnant and it will save the downer of a BFN if I'm not, on top of the added glumness of AF rearing her ugly head. Plus I do have cramps and that would normally indicate AF is coming.

I'm working today, allegedly, and finding it so hard to concentrate. I don't want to get my hopes up considering this was only cycle 2 of trying.

Same!! Due to a loss in my partners family I'm gonna give it a break for a few weeks so probs missed my opportunity this month! :*

@Cheyanne101 this is only my 2nd cycle and I'm already a bit miserable about it. I don't have anyone to talk to IRL (apart from DH) so I'm very grateful for mumsnet!

Girls i really feel you, the impatients is real its all i think about day in day out. Im due AF in a week and im starting to get my usual PMS symptoms😢 this is our 3rd cycle and it seems to have not worked again..we usually DTD about 3 times in fertile week, usually going by my CM which i dont get big amounts of...thats really the most we can manage as hubbie has a few issues "downstairs" moral of my moan is im impatient and want to be pregnant so bad! Im so happy we have this chat-its very hard to be this open with my friends who are not in this position! X
