CD1 - Anyone else?

Hello all,

A new cycle unfortunately started for me today. I really thought last cycle was going to be the one but unfortunately not the case and AF has shown her ugly face!

I had an early miscarriage in early September and this was the first cycle back TTC #1

Just wondering if anyone wants to join on the journey this month - always nice to be able to speak to people in the same situation!

Baby dust to all x

@MaryHua very true! Hopefully it'll keep my mind occupied. It's hubbys birthday at the end of the month too so there's lots going on.

I'm glad you're doing ok! So exciting that your scan is so soon x

@Biscuitsarelife1 glad that you didn't have to explain yourself at the lunch. But your mind must have kept going back to your pregnancy every second thought. For the first week I couldn't focus on anything else.

Hiya @rosecbrm
Thankfully you have Christmas and new year to help with the 2WW now, and you just never know.

I'm doing ok, feeling a bit less nervous this week which is strange? But I think it coincides with increased symptoms. My boobs are only just starting to ache now, I have nausea in the mornings and I'm very tired. Was at a meal tonight with the neighbours and I could barely keep my eyes open after 9pm!
Just over a week to go until my early scan - hoping that I'll see a heartbeat as I'll be 6W+ 6 or 7 weeks by then... 🤞

@Biscuitsarelife1 ahhhh omg! That's amazing news, congratulations lovely! So pleased for you!!

@MaryHua no new for me lovely, I am assuming?? I am 1/2dpo maybe? Haven't got high hopes for this cycle as my ovulation was all over the place, who even knows if I did ovulate!!?

Biscuitsarelife1 · 19/12/2023 19:26

@MaryHua still went to the lunch but didn't drink! Wasn't the only one and no one batted an eye lid luckily

Biscuitsarelife1 · 19/12/2023 19:25

@MaryHua strange isn't it! I ovulate early too, usually day ten so my cycles are slightly shorter. But honestly take the date with a pinch of salt. My first due date just calculated on dates was 9th Nov, then after my early reassurance scan it went to 6th Nov, then my NHS scan 3rd Nov! Made his appearance 27th Oct so all fun and games haha

I've got very sore boobs, feel a bit queasy which I'm expecting. The morning sickness at 6 weeks hit haaaard which is great so can't wait for that again lol- all worth it though. And just twinging and cramping which I had last time too! Hoping to get an early scan for mid Jan when I'll be 7/8 weeks. How are you doing?

MaryHua · 19/12/2023 18:39

Also I take it you had to come up with a fast excuse to miss out on the boozy lunch @Biscuitsarelife1 ? 😅😅

MaryHua · 19/12/2023 18:38

Aww mad how my late ovulation means that our due date is actually in the same month (I'm thinking 14th august for me) despite this being the next cycle for you.

Any symptoms?

@rosecbrm any news lovely? X

Biscuitsarelife1 · 19/12/2023 18:17

Thank you @MaryHua I am in complete shock. Apparently 27th August ?! But my date changed 3 times the first time and he ended up being a week early anyway

MaryHua · 19/12/2023 16:52

Omg omg omg @Biscuitsarelife1 !!!! That's amazing news!!! Congratulations 🎉
Delighted for you.
Welcome to the baby club!
What would your estimated due date be?
This is amazing news for a month of "not trying"

Biscuitsarelife1 · 19/12/2023 10:01

Holy f*- I'm pregnant

CD1 - Anyone else?
Biscuitsarelife1 · 19/12/2023 09:47

Nothing still- off to get a test as out for lunch in two hours!!

Biscuitsarelife1 · 18/12/2023 19:12

Hmmm no sign of AF and haven't had any spotting like I've had the last couple of months but have had cramping and usual twinges. I still really don't think I am this month but like 10% of me is thinking what if i am?! I have a work lunch tomorrow with drinking - if I don't come on by tomorrow morning do I get a test?!

MaryHua · 17/12/2023 18:42

I ovulated on CD21 @rosecbrm so late ovulation doesn't rule anything out! Keep us posted xx

@Biscuitsarelife1 fingers crossed for you lovely, keep us updated!

@MaryHua mine will be nearly a week late, I've had more EWCM today and ended up doing an OPK which was a blazing positive, so I actually think my peak must be today with ovulation tomorrow maybe! CD19 today! X

MaryHua · 17/12/2023 18:00

@rosecbrm well my ovulation was a week late last month as you know... so you just never know! 🤞

Good luck to you both this month xx

Biscuitsarelife1 · 17/12/2023 06:09

No updates from me girls. Due Tuesday so only like 2 days now!

rosecbrm · 16/12/2023 22:29

@MaryHua ahh that's exciting, only just over a week to go 🤞🏼

I'm not sure tbh, I think I am potentially ovulating today.. had some EWCm the past few days and today I've felt some twinges, so if I am that's a few days later than normal for me! We'll see though 😅 x

MaryHua · 16/12/2023 22:21

Hiya @rosecbrm !
All ok so far 🤞
Just can't fully relax or even look beyond January in my head.
I have managed to get a scan booked for in Ireland instead though on 27th December - I'll be 7 weeks, so that's more manageable. Don't think I could have waited 3 more weeks!

How are you? Do you think you're possibly in the 2WW?

Any update @Biscuitsarelife1 ?

How are you @MaryHua x

OP posts:
MaryHua · 13/12/2023 07:25

@rosecbrm I had a scan booked for 21st December but cancelled it as I would be just 6 weeks then and I'm scared that if it's too early to see a heartbeat then I'd panic all of Christmas so rescheduled to 7th January instead. X

@Biscuitsarelife1 keep us updated!

I think I'm due to ovulate anytime around now!

OP posts:
Biscuitsarelife1 · 12/12/2023 14:09

Ahh well you never know I guess but not getting my hopes up!! I just caved and looked, apparently ovulated last Tuesday (I'm not so sure it was but who knows), and due on Monday or Tuesday, so a weeks time!

@MaryHua glad to hear you're okay lovely!

Ahh yes I would be the exact same, it's hard to trust your body is doing what it needs to but I'm sure everything is all okay! When is your scan again? X

OP posts:
MaryHua · 11/12/2023 18:26

Hiya @rosecbrm thanks for checking in!
All ok, so far not much to report. Trying to limit my testing but my anxiety is through the roof at certain times of the day if I don't keep myself busy. I can't seem to think rationally or logically at all, and it's all new to me as it's my first.
Just hoping I can get through the next few weeks unscathed until my early scan.

You just never know what could happen for either of you @Biscuitsarelife1
All it takes is one lucky time. Keep us posted x
