TTC first baby thread 24

Evening :)

@kiza I am with you with the no early testing this month! Don't have any tests in the house and with lockdown I only go to shops 1 time a week so I won't be easily tempted haha! And yes we managed to dtd for the 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation - not sure if we cba tonight haha!

@lizzie198 yep I sometimes have those issues in the tww 🙈

@lizzie198 @Etonmess20 I'm 8dpo! I'm definitely going to wait until AF is due, wasted waaaaayy too many tests over the last year and half! @lizzie198 sometimes an increase in progesterone during the TWW can cause constipation (happening to me too this month! 💩)

@Annny27 did you manage to get some good DTD in for the early O?

@Etonmess20 I became a bit of an addict before we took the break and I have a draw full of one steps.

I really want to be stricter about it now we are back TTC and hoping being in work will keep me occupied (working from home though so may have to get Hubby to hide the tests lol).

I'm really not holding out much hope this month though as we only managed BD once in FW, on the day I should have ovulated and I didn't do any OPK's just used my app this month so don't even know if we caught it.

More organised for next month now we've decided to start TTC again.

@lizzie198 do you test every month? I don't usually test as I don't like to see the negatives but might give it a go this month! Next Sunday is probably a good shout!
It's my first month on clomid so I have a fair few symptoms I don't normally have, so we'll see if it's worked!

@Etonmess20 yay we can be test buddies when do you think you will start testing?

I really want to try and hold off til next Sunday as AF is due a week on Monday and think I would rather know that it's bfn that just have AF arrive and feel gutted.

@lizzie198 I'm 7dpo today too!! Sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit rubbish, fingers crossed it's your month for a BFP!

Feeling rubbish today been unable
To go the loo properly for about 4 days and feel completely exhausted today. 7dpo and hoping it's for a good reason as then will be worth it lol.

Hope everyone's had a nice Sunday 😊

morning:) pretty sure I have ovulated now so today is 1dpo - cd13 so it came earlier this month which was welcomed 🙌

@Kiza aww that made me really excited for when I do get to tell my DH :D when we first started trying he was definitely not as into it as I was but then when we lost the baby he realised how much he wants a baby and now he is the same sad as i am when af arrives.

@Etonmess20 its good to keep track of the changes and symptoms because then you know whats normal for you 🙌

@IamHopeful2020 love that - we are all mums to be just waiting for our babies :D

@Kiza yep all the time and he is getting so
Excited about the prospect whereas last time we were trying he was quite chilled about it.

Fingers crossed and baby dust all round that we can give them the good news soon xx

@Kiza oh don't you'll make me cry! Every time af arrives I can always tell my DP is sad ☹️ can't wait for the day I can give him some good news!!

Do you ladies ever daydream about telling your other half's and how happy you will make them? When we first started our journey 21 months ago DP was so chilled and relaxed, as time has gone on he wants this child as much as I do. I sometimes imagine how amazing it will be when I can give him that amazing news and place our baby in his arms for the first time and that I was able to give him so much joy. 💜 mushy and cheesy but I think about it more and more as each month passes.

@Kiza You're welcome. Yes, I know that for being here alone means that all the women here are very strong.

I'm very happy to find an amazing group where we can all rub minds together as friends & sisters and discuss the female body & fertility.

Shout out to all moms-to-be here!!!

@IamHopeful2020 aww thank you that's lovely of you to say. So many of the women on here are strong, we've been on such incredible journeys and have all had periods of darkness and struggle. However the women here (some of which have had their amazing BFP and moved on) have helped me so much, not only with emotional support but their knowledge of the female body and fertility. It's an amazing group ☺️

@Kiza Thanks a lot for the warm welcome, I've been silently following your posts too, you're such a strong woman.
I wish us all, that good news we've been waiting for in this month.

@Etonmess20 OH, that's the best thing I can do for now to keep my sanity intact. Even my DH is getting exhausted coz he thinks I've turned him into a baby-making machine coz the way we usually DTD during my FW is like preparing for an exam .
I've even resorted to reading online books now, probably they'll distract me in this TWW.

@Mamainmaking congratulations for you!

@whatsthecraic91 lovely to hear from you and that you're feeling great. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will fly by until your scan and maybe you'll get to hear a heartbeat! I'm looking forward to those pregnancy boobs!
Yep on 7dpo, even if I'm not BFP this cycle I'm hoping the royal jelly will have balanced out my hormones and reduced my spotting as last cycle I began spotting around 7dop and all seems to be good so far.

Welcome @IamHopeful2020 ☺️

You're favourite time is soon upon you @Annny27 😂

@IamHopeful2020 all you can do isn't it?

@Etonmess20 It's so frustrating, we just have to stay positive and keep hope alive.

@IamHopeful2020 super frustrating, DP & I have been TTC for 18 months & I am at the point I don't like to see or hear about pregnancy or newborn babies. All other children are fine but I just find it really angers me. Hate feeling like that too as I'm not like that, I suppose it's just jealousy on my part!
We all need a rant sometimes!

@Etonmess20 Hopefully! I wish all of us baby dusts.

To think that the same pregnancy some people get easily when they aren't even ready is the same pregnancy we're trying for is so frustrating, gosh! A younger cousin of mine even called me yesterday to tell me she 6 weeks pregnant and she isn't ready for it blah blah blah and I was like different strokes for different folks....... Anyways, life goes on, we move on.
#Sorry for ranting#

@IamHopeful2020 ah, that makes sense. Hopefully you get a nice BFP very soon then!

@Etonmess20 We've actually been trying since last year January 2019, just that we weren't too serious about it then until we got married 5 months ago.

Not yet, we're planning to ring the GP if nothing happens after this cycle.

@IamHopeful2020 *GP sorry,bloody autocorrect ruining my life as per

@IamHopeful2020 good luck to you! I assume as it's not been a year yet you haven't been to GO etc? X

@Etonmess20 Thanks for the warm welcome dear. Yes, TTC for baby #1
