TTC first baby thread 24

@whatsthecraic91 yeah must be so hard trying to focus on work right now!
Out of curiosity what days did you DTD?
@Annny27 I'd definitely recommend Accupuncture for regulating periods and spotting, I'm definitely returning to it once lockdown is over.

@Annny27 aww thank you! I am planning my life out in my head at the minute - I need to put the brakes on for the next 8 weeks til I'm in the safe zone 😥

Here's my chart! Remember I thought I hadn't ovulated and it was a really weird month!! Now look 😆 we only DTD twice too!

Ahhhhhh thats amazing lovely!!!!! I am glad we didn't all hype you up for no reason haha @whatsthecraic91
can you share your chart so I can have a look at it? And how many cycles has it been? Worth it in the end 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

@kiza @orangeloo yes ever since my miscarriage I have been spotting for me than 4 days before AF......used to just be 1 and occasionally 2 days! Might try acupuncture when lockdown is over

@orangeloo @Kiza thank you both x

I actually can't believe it!! I'm just sitting in work like well what do I do now 😆😆 every twinge is freaking me out tho

@Anny27 yes I have heard that but def need to hear it again. Thank you! And that she's been trying for two years is great! X

@whatsthecraic91 yessss! Huge congratulations to you both!! It's funny but it did sound promising and I just get a feeling when someone else in here is going to get a BFP. Amazing.

@whatsthecraic91 ahhhhhhhh so happy for you!!! Congratulations ☺️ how did DP take it? How are you feeling?

LADIES!!! I am shaking!!!!!

Ahh sorry @whatsthecraic91 for putting pressure on 🤦🏼‍♀️ think we all got a tad excited!

@Annny27 that's good to hear about that other lady, not only about her trying for 2 years but also the spotting as I know @orangeloo and I have this most months (sometimes about 10 days of spotting too!) sorry to hear about your BFN also, even though you weren't tracking this cycle it's still a bummer.
Although my hypnotherapist has now trained me to have affirmations when AF arrives, saying things like 'I'm grateful that my body is still menstruating and working perfectly for me to conceive'

@Lozzlepop what's the temp been like in Scotland? You're east Scotland aren't you? I'll be honest after 5 years up there I'm so excited for a good old hot English summer 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Really crampy this evening so my excitement is over 😐 my body really does love to play tricks on me! Only going to test in the morning if my temp is still up. DP is all for it!

@Annny27 sorry about BFN x

@orangeloo thanks lovely! One thing that keeps my spirit up is another lady who I was on another thread with who had been try for almost 2 years, she has spotting and the month that she got her bfp recently she still had the same days of spotting so it isn't always an absolute "I am out" thing for you🤞🤞🤞

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 haha if you want to wait that is very sensible and strong!

@Lozzlepop I definitely go through phases with wanting to strangle yes. In the beginning I told him to go in lockdown at his parents because he was annoying me so much haha

@Annny27 sorry about the bfn. Definitely still sucks even when it's expected.
I'm 9DPO and spotting as per, so I don't hold out much hope. I will try and wait until AF due but I prob won't haha.

so I caves at tested 12dpo - BFN. Waiting for AF too arrive. Was expected but still sucks :(

@whatsthecraic91 omg yes please test soon. Like @kiza said we need a bfp from one of the oldies on the thread!!!!!

@orangeloo are you close to testing?

@Lozzlepop weather has been gorgeous hasn't it! Been blessed with lovely weather

@orangeloo @Kiza @Lozzlepop

Oh ladies you are putting me under pressure now 😅 I'll see DP tonight and we can decide when to test as I told him I wouldn't do it without him again. He will have the sensible head on and will probably try and talk me into waiting 😆

@Lozzlepop loving the weather too it's absolutely fab ☀️ think it's to break on Wednesday tho 👎🏼👎🏼

Hi ladies how are we all? Sorry for the silence but it has been super sunny and for Scotland this is not normal so I have been making the most of the weather! Hello to the new ladies that I may have missed. AF has just finished for me- thank god, my periods have been really weird since the last miscarriage.

@XjustagirlX I am so so sorry to hear its ectopic 😔I dont have any experience of ectopic but having experience 2 missed miscarriages one where i took the medication and one where I waited for my body to naturally miscarry I would probably pick the medication again, it can be really emotionally draining constantly going back and forward to the hospital waiting for things to happen naturally. I hope you are doing as well as you can be and are being kind to yourself right now.

@whatsthecraic91 oh I am feeling very positive for you, I would test tomorrow, I have found out at 12 DPO before so a FRER should give an accurate result 😃

Hows everyone else doing? Anyone wanting to kill their DH during lockdown? 😂

@whatsthecraic91 oh I'm excited for you! It's about time one of us old timers had a BFP as we've all been on this thread for so long 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 omg exciting! This is sounding good for you. FX

@Annny27 I'm actually shitting myself tbh 🤣 I don't know if I should wait to Wednesday AF is due tomorrow. Aww well you weren't really trying this month anyway sure yas weren't? Still disappointing isn't it! Are you going back to properly trying next cycle?

@whatsthecraic91 i meant last time I got my bfp at 12dpo haha**

I got my bfp at 12dpo and the thing that made me test was waking up sweating!!!! Test :D

Yep I am 12dpo and had some brown spotting so thats me out probably for this month!

@Annny27 how's you? Any symptoms? We are the same DPO aren't we?

@Anny27 well now I am officially freaking out!! My fem has detected a triphasic pattern 😆 i woke up this morning sweating but other than that I feel normal, no sore boobs, no cramps & no spotting which I should have by now!! 12DPO 😥

My temps weren't significantly higher in June July August but when I got my bfp in September it was! So don't think the weather has a significant difference as your house will roughly be the same temperature? Don't let him burst your bubble just yet 🤣🤣 @whatsthecraic91

@Annny27 I'm thinking Wednesday, AF due Tuesday. My temps are the highest they have ever been since I started temping and I was getting excited and told DP and he was like well the weather is warm so of course you're going to be warmer!! Is he right?! The prick has burst my bubble 🤣🤣🤣

Fingers crossed @whatsthecraic91 :) 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 when will you test?

@kiza yep I can't believe I went years of not noticing cm when we weren't ttc and now I don't think I will ever not know my body and where I am in my cycle again haha

Morning ladies 11DPO and I woke up at 7am and felt so sick and had to go back to sleep again! I feel fine now! My temp is the same as yesterday's and I don't feel like AF is coming, I've usually started spotting my now and no sign! Trying not to get my hopes up! AF due Tuesday so I will try and hold off to Wednesday 🤞🏼

Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous weather, we had a bbq yesterday and sat out the back all day 😎
