TTC bubba #1

Genevive123 · 28/02/2021 21:37

Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

@xojellybean I know but they aren't cheap and I'm not spending a fortune keep buying them so I am rationing!! 🤣🤣

xoJellyBean · 25/03/2021 15:58

@Neom87 im either 6dpo or 8 dpo depending on when I ovulated... you have great self control :) i would be doing 5 tests a day lol :)

Neom87 · 25/03/2021 15:02

@xojellybean how many dpo are you now?

No I just did the one on wednesday and them the ones today, to see if it had gotten darker as the hormones are supposed to double every couple of days. I will prob do some at the weekend and end with the digi then thats it!

xoJellyBean · 25/03/2021 14:30

@Neom87 eeeek looking good! Are you testing everyday?? X

@Genevive123 I looked up the tarot lady on fb and I'm so tempted!! I wanna know if I'm pregnant 🤣. X

Neom87 · 25/03/2021 08:53

AF due tomorrow according to the app, the digital is less sensitive at 25mlU so I will take some boots ones over the weekend to make sure I am getting a positive on them as they are 25mlU too and then take the digital. I also did a cheap strip this morning which is less sensitive and there is a faint line starting to show up

@Neom87 I don't think so lovely I usually get cramps up to a week before AF !

Oh my gosh no mistaking that!! So exciting - you gonna take a digital soon? Xx

OP posts:

Neom87 · 25/03/2021 08:36

@genevive123 probably not!! Are these cramps earlier than normal for you? Is there not a chance it could be implantation? I have had mild cramping that feels there same as AF the last couple of weeks. I took a second test this morning for progression...

Morning ladies

@xoJellyBean oh bless you I hope it's your month! I'm due AF 29th of March! I feel like she's gonna come before that, got some insane period cramps today but then I guess it's only 4 days! Omg 4 days for my next cycle which I was predicted, can't tell you how excited I am to start it 😂😂

@Neom87 oh no lol! Sounds like I won't get any work done for 9 months!!

Look at us all wanting water births!! Xx

OP posts:

Neom87 · 24/03/2021 22:33

@xojellybean I am not entirely sure one app puts me at 4+4 and one 3+6?? I don't know my cycle length, so not sure whether it's best to calculate from LMP or ovulation day?

xoJellyBean · 24/03/2021 22:15

@Neom87 I'm due next Tuesday 🤞🏻🥲 here's hoping!! So how many weeks would you be at the mo??

Neom87 · 24/03/2021 21:35

Thanks guys.... hopefully I can be a lucky mascot! 🙏

@xojellybean are you due AF on Friday? Fingers crossed she doesn't show!!

@hopingforbabym2021 congratulations on your peak!! I was over the moon when I got mine and couldn't nieve the change in it percentage wise!! Fingers crossed your conceiving a little poppy seed in the next few days!!

I would also like a waterbirth if possible! 🙂 @ genevive123 I would like to say once you get your bfp things change but they don't, I'm just as obsessed and can barely work!! 🙈

xoJellyBean · 24/03/2021 21:09

@HopingForBabyM2021 I'm am doing good thank you, so happy you got your peak!! You better get busy 😜✨

@Genevive123 no not usually, I would get a bit ratty but not crying for no reason 🥲 I think my supplements are working! X

I'd also love a water birth!! 😊

Genevive123 · 24/03/2021 19:52

@xoJellyBean oooh maybe it is? Do you usually get emotional? X

@HopingForBabyM2021 it's so hard isn't it, feel like I can't get of MN all day either anything baby is all I'm thinking about!!

I'm based in Gloucestershire ! I have thought where but if I can I'd like a water birth xx

OP posts:

HopingForBabyM2021 · 24/03/2021 19:46

@Neom87 definitely stay!! We need to hear all about how you're doing!

@Genevive123 all I think about is my cycle and TTC too 😭 it's only month 1, how will I continue!?

@xoJellyBean how are you doing lovely? I'm so happy that today I got an insanely high LH surge. On the premom app it's 2.0! Feeling relieved that my body is doing what it's meant to.

Jumping way ahead now, but has anyone thought about where they want to give birth? Where are we all based? I'm in London xx

xoJellyBean · 24/03/2021 19:26

@Genevive123 I'm ok 😊 feeling emotional... hoping it's pregnancy hormones 🤪🤣 work was absolutely mental so I'm glad to be home! X

@Neom87 defo stick around!! We want to hear all about it ✨ x

taytay2020 · 24/03/2021 18:52

@neom87 so happy for you, congratulations! 🙂 Definitely want to hear how you get on!

Genevive123 · 24/03/2021 18:50

@Kty09 awh don't worry we'll get it next month !! With your partner at home that will be so much easier ! 3rd time lucky for me next cycle and hopefully birthday luck too!!

@Neom87 oh please do stick around !! I want to see how you get on too! If we conceive next cycle we'll still only be a month or so behind so will still have loads to talk about !!

OP posts:

Neom87 · 24/03/2021 18:13

@genevive123 no not yet - I feel like I should leave it a couple of weeks 🤔

@kty09 yes I did and he was exactly that!! As am I! It is hard to digest as you find out this massive news but then nothing happens....its wierd!!

I hope I can still stay here with you guys, I want to keep an eye on how you all get on 🤞🤰♥️

Kty09 · 24/03/2021 17:15

So exciting, bet it’s feels unreal and hard to digest still @Neom87 really chuffed for you!! 💕 is your other half excited/nervous?!

I’ve felt AF symptoms good and proper for the last couple of days so if it’s here tomorrow or Friday then looking good timing for OD 🤞🏼@Genevive123 i also have the dreaded hormonal spots!

Genevive123 · 24/03/2021 14:21

@Neom87 ah bless you I'm so excited for you have you called the doctor yet? I hope the next cycle is the one for me 😍

@xoJellyBean good thanks hun, finding it so hard to work at the moment all I think about 24/7 is my cycles lol , how are you?

OP posts:

xoJellyBean · 24/03/2021 12:48

How we all feeling today??✨

Neom87 · 24/03/2021 10:03

Hi all, thankyou for all your kind comments 😊

@genevive223 I told my partner when he came home about an hour later, i took the test the one rare time he actually had to got to the office - he is usefully working from home! He is excited, but we are also quite nervous as it is early days. I love your positive attitude, hopefully this next cycle is yours! 🤞

Oooh @lisamxxx fingers crossed!! Plenty of BD-ing for you over the next couple of days!! ♥️

lisamxxx · 23/03/2021 22:27

@xoJellyBean nope, we decided to take a laidback approach at first and just see what happens. This is just our 2nd cycle trying but I think I might be tempted to start using opk's if it doesn't happen this cycle.

Can't wait for the next few days to be over tbh so I can get on to the 2ww and and start attempting to symptom spot 😂
