TTC 1st baby # Thread no 4

[Newbie2]

Wishing everyone a happy BFP!!!!!

Nicola yay for the box of goodies :)

I'm sorry to be so moany but I'm really crampy again just like I was last month 2 days after I got a fake CB smiley face. I'm so fed up :( I'm going to walk to starbucks and treat myself to a mocha frappicino and I don't care that it's coffee...sod trying to avoid so much food/drink when I'm not even pregnant. Rant over :)

Thanks Lisa, sounds the same as what I am thinking. Will be small but don't know when or anything. We have agreed that baby is the priority but not sure what that means for wedding really!

Hope you enjoy your box nicola! I'm three days in now, getting the hang of the routine. Already got a date wrong on my paperwork though!

Woohoo thanks to AF arrival am eligible for clear blue trial. They finally rang me today. I am no longer a reject! Here's to cycle 3 although it could possibly still be two as the first I was't aware I had ovd. I can stop using my cheapies. DH is most perturbed by prospect of buckets full of wee in the fridge tho!

Ha ha...I've not told H2B about it yet. I'll leave that til the box arrives :-)

I don't think I ovulated my first month, echo, so am counting this as proper cycle 2 as well.

Hi everyone

Hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine!

I am feeling quite down today - think maybe I'm not coping with the mc as well as I thought.

I think I am going to start using ov sticks - do you just use one each day of the month until you get a smiley face?

Hi woody sorry your feeling down. I'm feeling really low too. Probably not the best person to talk to :) I understand that you're meant to start using the sticks from CD6. I am using them everyday now because I am on everlasting cycle 1 cd 72. My theory is use the sticks until they run out!

I started my clear blue trial sticks on cd5 and will keep going until I get an lh surge and hope I ov after that.

Sorry to hear you are feeling low woody

Sorry to hear that you are feeling down newbie

Hope you are ok.

Woody I started day AF finished then tested EOD until about day 12 Then would have tested every day. But my CM kicked in so decided not to bother just DID as much as possible. But we are still in early days of TTC.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the welcome. Went to the FP clinic today just to speak to a doctor and she was reassuring in terms of I'm still in my first year of ttc so should relax and enjoy it. (just hard to do at times as we all know) what are all the detailed listed for people in earlier comments? Still learning the shorthand. @Maclairey, I lots of people don't know they're pregnant at your stage, try not to worry too much. I think it's harder because we are actually TRYING. @Woody 17, I was (and still am) very up and down about my mc, make sure you speak to people about it and don't hold it in. I've been using Ovulation tests since too.

Just updating my (hopeful) BFP date as ov'd later than I though so pushing test back a bit - will test on 2nd Aug if no AF :)

Also congrats to dulcet on the engagement, lovely news!! Sorry to hear some of you feeling down too xx

I have this massive urge to do a pregnancy test for no reason at all!! I seriously should not be allowed to keep tests in my house :)

Newbie2 I did one yest even though logically I knew it would be negative. Consuming thought thought isn't it? I'm getting too used to poas at the mo. doing a cb ov test every morning patiently waiting on that smiley face. xx

Can I ask what AF is? And are your cycle numbers how long you have been trying? X

Hi loveinny

Af is aunt flo or your period and yes the cycle number is the cycle number we are on for ttc so this is my 4th cycle

Thanks Lisa, so many abbreviations! Well I guess I'd be on cycle 4 after an early mc. No idea when to expect AF as not been regular since mc. have you been on here for long? X

There are still some abbreviations that I don't know!

I've been on here since just after starting ttc and have learnt some invaluable information

Sounds great. It's good to have people to chat to that are going through the same thing. x

Sorry people are feeling down :-(

We need a BFP or two people...particularly from someone who has been trying a while.

Yes we need a good BFP to lift the spirits!

Agreed we need a BFP although not likely in our camp. DH is still feeling v sorry for himself over broken finger distinct lack of DTD.

Nicola think we should call it cycle 2 sounds better.

Dulcet contracts great news.

Lovin the list is when we will test for our positive. Helps us shamelessly egg each other on to pee on a stick (POAS ). Most of us need little or no encouragement to wee on a test stick of any variety. CM is cervical mucus by the way. If not sure just ask on acronyms we're a helpful bunch.

Maclairey does your hospital have an early pregnancy assessment unit might be worth trying to ring them direct. You may be able to get an appointment or something or at least speak to them.

Dulcet meant congrats obviously.

Morning all,

Hope you are all ok. Why are we all feeling down in this lovely weather. Isnt it Funny that we are all doen at the same time?I'm quite annoyed this morning, cbfm still showing high, no peak. The LH line started toget darker on cd11 and cd12 and today it is light again. I no you shouldn't read yourself but i thought I would have a cheeky look at them.

Chins up girls someone has to give us BFP soon, please x

Will be interesting to hear how you all get on with the cbfm. How exactly does it work? I've promised DH not to start peeing on OV sticks until I've had 6 cycles - I think he's worried (understandably!) that I might become addicted.

I'm still confused by my weird AF. Came on Saturday but has never progressed past mild spotting (almost gone now)....I'm starting to think maybe I didn't ovulate last month after all, although I was pretty sure I did. I know it's only my second AF off the pill, but I've never had one this light. Does a light AF mean you didn't ovulate?

Worried that it might be all sorts of fertility-related problems now:(

Purplefairies have you tested for your BFP? The light spotting could be implantation bleed
