First time TTC - thread 2

[CinnamonTwist]

Thought I would create a fresh thread as the original had been going since Feb. This is for anyone TTC #1, a bit of moral support as we all attempt to embark on the scary journey that is parenthood! Join us if you are a mix of terrified and excited, don't really know what you're doing yet and hadn't heard of CM before you started reading Mumsnet!!

Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh congratulations!!!!!!!

Sorry for AF jj
I'm cd27, 10dpo and had another temp rise this morning but just don't feel pg so still not optimistic.

busy are you at work or home? I couldn't test on a work day I wouldn't be able to concentrate if BFP! All those opks which were negative - shows what they know haha!!

I'm at home I only work term time so at home most of the summer so just sat waiting for hubby to get home at half 4. I know they were all negative! Wtf. I've got past excited freaked out stage and gone straight to it's only 2 weeks I can't count on anything yet. Oh god. I'm going to be a lunatic.

Those temps look great eva better than mine did so don't count yourself out. The only thing I've had which is odd is the weird twinning heavy feeling for the last two days. Everything else I have pretty much every month.

jj sucks that AF turned up but at least your cycle might be getting back to normal?

Eva those temps look good!! I had no pg symptoms at all, only light cramps like af ones so don't worry, could still be a BFP! And remember so many people don't even realise they're pregnant until further on!

Thanks busy, yes just glad to know what's going on again and can plan again now (planning dtd, how sexy lol). Bless you waiting!

Thanks, I hope so, I have everything crossed

Congrats busy :D

Massive congrats busy

Sorry about AF jj

Fx everyone else!

Ooh congrats busy!!

When are you going to test eve? Fx for you!!

Either Saturday or Sunday marmite - can't test on a work day in case it's a BFP ha! Hopefully I'll manage to hold out til Sunday, that'll be 13dpo and should give me an answer either way.
busy how many dpo do you reckon you were today?

I was 18dpo! And was well and truly giving up as everywhere I read said you'd know before then!

If you get bfn eva don't give up until AF turns up or until the bfp does. I did cheapies until I got a squinter then the expensive ones. Might have got an earlier result on a frer but didn't want to spend a lot on it.

How was dh busy? How did you tell him?

He came in with the shopping and was chatting and I just said look got something for you and showed him the test. He went a bit blank and said what's that. I said it's a pregnancy test idiot and he went "oh well done" lol and sort of fiddled and dropped everything on the side then he seemed to click lol.

I will forever taunt him with "well done" lol!

Haha bless him! I do think it must be weird for the guys to be told.. must be a bit more surreal when they're not the one who has done the test especially if they don't know you've done one!

Lol I know he's one of those types who needs to see it to believe it and be excited so I think he's going to be processing for 9 months and only be excited when it's puking on him lol

Lol busy @ the puking! Ahh that's really interesting to know about testing, someone else said they didn't get BFP til 3 days after AF was due. I just want a definite answer, I'm so sick of thinking about it!! If I know AF is coming I need to stock up on wine and chocolate

It sucks eva there's nothing wrong about that lol. I don't feel like it's real. I'm worried I'm going to test again in a few days and it'll be negative. Hysterical pregnancy or something.

You're temps are looking really good though and you've got a good few more days yet to see how you get on. Just try to ignore the midnight google searches. They lie!

How's AF treating you jj? Is she being polite at least?

Right, back from the pub (wheels have come off a bit now that I know am out for this month haha)

Am so so happy for you busy! I had a sneaking suspicion with all the boob symptoms you were describing And the 'well done' from your DH! Classic!

I've got high hopes for you as well Eva - those temps are looking good!

AF has definitely left the building - another two day one. A few days of POAS freedom, then back to the smiley face opks!

eva... God the chocolate, I've just had almost an entire large bar to myself. AF is definitely in the building lol. At least I can have a few drinks this weekend too, defo making the most of it.

I was exercising 3/4 times a week before I got bfp but I stopped when I got it (partly from the tiredness, partly just laziness) although I know you should keep it up during pregnancy but I haven't got back in to it yet and the lbs are sneaking on. Back to it next week, want to be fit as I can be before conceive again.

busy ok actually, quite light at the moment but I'm sure it'll get worse! Bloated and yucky now but I'm sure the giant chocolate bar hasn't helped lol.

Another temp rise. I've decided I must put myself out of my misery and test so I'm going to definitely test tomorrow (eek). I fear my temps are playing tricks with me and I've really got my hopes up. At least if I get a BFN it's a Saturday and I can sit on the sofa and sulk all day watching crappy tv as DH is working tomorrow!

jj what exercising do you do? I really want to get fitter and was going to start running but they say not to start anything too drastic when TTC? What do you think? I might get a couple of yoga DVDs to do at home too.

Congratulations busy!

I have been waiting on AF but no show as of yet. Its taunting me with the tell-tale symptoms. So many dull aches and twinges. Im waiting a few more days for it to show before testing.

Ooooo Eva am starting to get excited for you now! All fingers crossed

Had my personal training session at the gym this morning - am shattered! That 2WW really stressed me out and exhausted me - might take up meditation again for next one. Looking forward to a few beverages tonight!

Hope AF is not being too much of a bitch jj.

How long did everyone's AF last after coming off birth control? Am now paranoid my two day ones mean there's something wrong! Always something to worry about...

Thanks pyjamas! I had been on the pill for so long (10years ish I think), stopped in April. First AF was 3 days. Second one was 2 days then stopped for a day and then another 2 days (how odd). And most recent one seems to be back to normal, 3 days medium and 4th day very light. I don't think you've got anything to worry about, it's quite common for them to be very short and odd when you first come off bc.
Fx for you difficultyear!
