TTC #1 Thread 7

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

Here we go ladies...this really IS it for us all!

Hi Raspberry and Lol wave wave! Firstly a massive congratulations to you Lol! You must be over the moon! How are you feeling?

I'm well thanks ladies. The 1st trimester was one hell of a roller coaster as I ended up having 4 scans with the NHS in the end but baby pear was doing well at my last 12 week scan. I have another scan next week when I'll be 16w just to check everything is developing as it should.

Block I noted a slight tingly boob at 7DPO if that helps!

kbaby Welcome baby and I hope this thread gives you the support I needed when I had some very crazy moments! Just wanted to tell you that what you're feeling is totally normal. I was a TTC loon but luckily I fell pregnant on the 4th month of serious trying (I don't count the 1st as I had no idea what I was doing). I too used conceive plus on the 4th month and that really helped in many ways but that wasn't what got my BfP but I'm sure it helped. Time is what gave me my BFP, my body just needed time to adjust after coming off the pill. If the CBFM doesn't work for you then I would advice switching to clear blue OV sticks as I found them far more accurate in the end when I compared the two. Good luck!

Hi Block

Married life is lovely, thank you...if rather sexless due to the pregnancy, ha ha! :-/

The 8 week scan was fantastic. Saw the jelly bean and heartbeat :-) Excellent to have, I think, as reassurance as it is a horrible limbo in between the positive test and a dating scan. I'd still be waiting for my first scan if I hadn't paid for one. And I'm not the patient type!

Picture of the scan on my profile, BTW. :-)

Hi to kbaby.

Hi everyone yep I'm totally insane I did not no things could get obsessive and a congrats to all of you that are pregnant x. But I'm going to keep been positive and persistent I'm not giving up this month with out a fight lol xxx

And another quik question please if some one could answer shall dtd every day when my cbfm is on two blocks or every other day as I don't wana feel like I've missed a oppertunity x

Every other day is enough to get you pregnant. Every day is a belt and braces approach! :-)

Lol I might try the belt and brace way x

Congratulations lol!!!!!! fantastic news!!!

Hi kbaby, I have the cbfm, it's the peak days (full 3 bars) that are when u Ovulate so those are the days when it's def dtd day!!

Hi that's what I thought but read a lot of posts and ppl think that you should go at it when it's on two days aswell ad the first month of using the cbfm might not pick up a peak. Xxxx

Just checking back! Its been 3 weeks since AF and app says im ov on monday! Ive been doing OPKs now for a week now! (first time using them)
Me and hubby both off work all weekend (extremely rare occourence in our house) so ive booked for us to go to comedy on sat night!
Now looking forward to dtd lots and then playing the SS game again!! Where is everyone with testing??

Good news on those BFPs guys! We're on our second cycle of TTC, and the only real blessing is that the sex is great! ;-)

Nothing else exciting going on here!

Hello everyone, just checking in! Still waiting for my first AF post-mc then if will be seriously committed TTC. Conceive plus, digital OPKs, whole nine yards.

Yep block like mrsbri I was sans any cm - she told me it was a good sign too (and was right). Fx for the next few days for you (I'll take all the potential AF-ness with pleasure)

PS, if you are pregnant, the CM will return with a vengeance in a bit! :-/

Great, thanks mrsB - i'll look forward to it! You and coke are getting my hopes up now!

• I'm not holding out too much hope, but we'll see on Wednesday!!

Raspberry's are you with me or a few days behind?

Hi block I'm a few days behind u!! Next weekend is the earliest I'll test.

The first week of the 2ww I'm ok - now into the 2nd week & I'm driving myself INSANE!!! thinking about babies, prams, cribs anything baby related. Doesn't help that I love Christmas & I'm up to my ears in Christmas stuff at work, the nativities, the Christmas craft & activities, just want to do it with my own kids, not everyone elses.
Got a busy December planned & lots to do, even got a night away booked with dh!!

How are u doing with the wait block? Will u test on Wednesday?
What about everyone else? Hope you're all doing ok. [danios]

Don't know what danios is?!!!
Was meant to be a

Morning!

I don't know, I might wait till Saturday, AF would be due to start and finish by then, so if it's still not arrived I will have more hope! I also don't want to waste the test as I'm quite sure we've not done it this month, In fact, I've been getting some quite nasty stabbing pains and Evil Dr Google says it could be Endometriosis, which would put a spanner in the works quite a bit.

But I'll wait to speak to a real doctor before writing myself off just yet!

I'm sure I'll crack, but I'll try to wait till the weekend so we can have a double BFP

Dr Google is evil. Are the stabbing pains on one side (i.e. could they be [whispers] implantation pains)? I'm a menace with SS, sorry!

Definitely not implantation pains as the evil wench that is AF just got me!!!

Rubbish!! - Its all on you now Raspberrys!

No Christmas +ve /sob!

anyone else about to get their BFP's? I need to share someone else's happiness if I'm not allowed my own!

Nooooo. That sucks, i'm sorry. New Year BFP instead with me? And September babies that will be super intelligent as the oldest in their year?

Bugger Blockette, was getting my hopes up for you! At least you can enjoy a Christmas drinkie!

Got a couple of weeks before I can test and driving myself mental with it all. For no reason at all I'm exhausted today too which doesn't help! If I get a -ve it will be overe christmas, with difficult MIL around..... don't want that!

Oh Block I'm so sorry.

AF is a bitch!!

I'm super hormonal pmt style so I'm not thinking anything +, if anything feeling rather sad & negative.

Hope you're ok

rant alert*
Shit!!! Fuck!!! Bollocks!!!!!
I've turned into a hormonal cowbag!!! Was doing ok, but friend just text to say their 12week scan went ok & it's turned me into a tearful mess. I'm so pleased for them but also so insanely jealous.
Pretty sure AF is on her way, but it's all a waiting game.

Sorry for the rant, think I just needed it out of my system!!
How's everyone else?

Sorry for the rant, can't discuss with real world.

I know the feeling! - My cousins baby was born yesterday! It's very hard to smile while trying to avoid all the baby pictures! And pick out a card to send them :(
And having to hear about everyone talking about the royal baby!

Feel free to scream and stamp with us

AND remember, If its not your month this month, we will have Christmas over our next 2ww so that should fly by really quickly

But maybe you are so hormonal because you have something growing in your belly? When I feel like poop my BF reminds me that she had no symptoms at all till 6 weeks! then she was sick for the rest of the 9 months

PS I might have had a little cry yesterday too ....

Big hugs Block

2moro is cycle day 28, 10 days post ov - gotta hold out till the weekend, but I know I'm going to be gutted if its a -ve. But also desperately not wanting to get my hopes up, also desperately wanting it to be a positive. Does that make any sense?!
