First time TTC - thread 6

[bassetmum]

Well thats another thread full of our comings and goings.

My details again
29
Cycle 6
Cd25

Hmm think it might be too early for implantation? Fairly certain it's the DTD but thanks for the fx

Feeling good about some BFPs on this thread soon!! Fx ladies!!!

I think so blanket. Well I think this months efforts are finished. Definitely had some sharp pains on my right side. If we don't catch this month next cycle will be a dud as my OH is away for most of my fertile week.

Could it have been delayed ovulation bleeding kaydee?

Loxy good on you for not testing.

Hopefully there are a few bfps soon!! Im not due till 14th march so still a while for me yet

Seems that I jinxed myself ladies. Temp dip this morning so think AF will be here by the weekend. Urgh

My FW has started! On a side note, do any of you feel like you really want to get pregnant and have a baby of your own, but still second guess yourself when thinking about the way life will change and how it might affect your job, marriage etc?

Welcome loxy
*
Basset* try not to feel to bad you could say the positive of not TTC next cycle means no xmas baby?? I know we've talked about this before and I'm one of those who will be trying regardless, however I'd probably be a little relieved to not have an xmas baby.

How is the spotting going kaydee?

Sorry for the temp dip flora not out yet though. Fx

Is pjs still around?

Zohz I have wanted a baby for what feels like a lifetime and I certainly haven't been dealing with TTC well. But I have to say when I was looking at holidays I could book this year I couldn't help but feel sad that it those kinds of holidays aren't baby friendly. And I also love my sleep and have serious concerns how I will cope with the lack of.

So it's cd21 and according to ff 5dpo my 'usual' cycle is 26 (but that hasn't been the case the last few cycles) I've learnt this cycle that I ovulate later than I thought. I k ow it's rare to see a BFP much before 14dpo however I'd be 10dpo when my af would be due. I'd be testing on cd 26 regardless as that's the day I have my gp appointment, guess I'm a bit confused about when I'd show a positive?
Long one again sorry

Massive bold fail

I'm fairly sure I felt Ov pain basset but I haven't tracked it so I guess it could be! Very little today & seems to have stopped now, so back to the waiting game!!

Ah no flora but you're not out until she appears!!

Zohz I kind of get what you mean, it's a big adjustment so bound to have an effect on your life but 99% for the better I reckon

Do you know what your usual lp is bliss? That would give you an indication of when AF is due, and at 10dpo testing, FRER is prob best for the most accurate result! Have my fx for you!! CD20 so a day behind you, and going to try & hold out until the 11th!!

Hello hellooooo - yep, am still here ☺️ Quiet, but still here and following everything! Work has been annoying me no end. Am on CD20 here so about a week to go on the TWW - no symptoms whatsoever, which is the same every cycle.

Zohz - you hit the nail on the head there, those thoughts cross my mind every time. I really really want that BFP, but I suspect a very small part of me will be screaming "what have i done!!!!" when it does happen 😂

Sorry about the temp dip flora - those temps can drive us batshit!

On the DH/performance/pressure issues - I always say to DH it's not compulsory, but this is the right time so just let me know if you want to, then totally leave it. He usually then initiates himself!

Still not temping or tracking anything, and I'm loving it 😁😁

loxy TWW here for me too and symptom spotting all over the place - I have had had ewcm for over a week continously now since ov and I will be gutted if I'm not this month now!! Stupid symptoms..stupid af..stupid ttc argh!

ah flora Hopefully AF stays away!!

Zohz Yeah i get what you mean it will definitely change everything but it would be for the better :) everyone i know with a baby lives have changed massively but every single one of them have said they wouldn't change a single thing. I suppose when your in that position you just adapt and change accordingly as your not your own priority anymore.

Bliss Got my FX for you! maybe use one of the tests that you can use 5 days before your period is due they arent 99% accurate the earlier you use them but might give a hint of something.

Im still waiting on provera to come into pharmacy ( Begining to wonder if its a sign ) been waiting since Sunday! they keep saying it will be in the next day

Also me and my partner have went mental and just booked a holiday to Greece for Summer we said this year we wouldn't be going on holiday mainly because we thought I would be pregnant long before now and to save money. But we thought even with us still trying theres a risk i could still be not pregnant by then and ill be like brilliant no baby or holiday Hopefully I will be pregnant and sipping mocktails complaining of morning sickness in the sun. plus the main reason we are going is my partner lost his dad last year to MND so thought a nice relaxing holiday would help him out holistically ....... Its weird im feeling super guilty typing this like i shouldn't be allowed to go on holiday just because we are TTC

kiwi got my FX for you! its soo hard not to symptom spot during the TWW
pjs i think your right there we all need some months were we dont track or anything just to relax and go with the flow :) stress free

Good work on the holiday Kitty - life is too short and think its important to have things to look forward to that you can actually control!

So my temp went back up a little this morning so in less of a bad mood, seriously though my temps this month are so high compared to previous. I would have been THRILLED with this temp at the same stage last month.

Still not particularly hopeful but at least I'm feeling less murderous!

Very jealous of your holiday kitty! It's our first anniversary soon and we found it really difficult to decide what to do. In an ideal world, we would've gone skiing - but the potential prospect of being not able to ski or indulge in apres ski 🍷 was not appealing to me!

Have still got fx for you Flora - could still be on to a winner 😀

AF due in a week - still nothing of note to report.

Sorry ladies, seem to be having the busiest few weeks at work, so struggling to keep up!! My 'spotting' tailed off yesterday morning & now is just a beige tinge, so who knows!! Also no idea if this is unusual for me or not, as we're only cycle 3, I have no idea what usual is!!

Kitty your holiday sounds perfectly timed any news on the provera?

LSFX pyjamas, loxy, basset, kiwi & flora!! Who's next to test??

In answer to your question, kaydee

What on earth is this?

Wow loxy!! what dpo are you??

11 dpo, cd 25

So this is.... mental. I mean I knew I was mental for testing but this is even more mental.

Derp, cd26 I mean

Loxy there could be something but it does look a tad flooded. Can you get a frer? Also did you pee on this or dunk it? Dunking is so much easier.

Kaydee I wont be testing till the 15th if af doesn't turn up.

Im looking at booking a holiday to italy with my mum in may so who knows what position I'd be in then.* So your holiday sounds fab kitty*.

Flora how strange have your temps done this before?

basset I dunked it, this is actually the second one I took. The first I thought was neg then about ten minutes later I glanced at it and thought I could see something. So I took this one and took that photo at the two minute mark to check something did appear early on.

Sounds like good news for you Loxy!

Temps back up again this morning, think I need to take less notice of them though as its SS on the worst level. Normally they are hovering above coverline at this stage Basset so its hard not to get my hopes up.
I'm going to test on Sunday if AF doesn't show up as that'll be 14DPO.

flora sounds positive - hope you get your bfp!
kitty I have holiday envy! Thank god im going away in 3 weeks, need a break
loxy looks like a Bfp!

I've had a 'mare - started doing clearblue monitor on Monday, And had flashing Tues and Weds but then had bloody static this morning!! Not good, I'm on cd13 and didn't expect to ov til cd15 and with DH having his sperm analysis yesterday we haven't DTD since Sunday - FML, looks like this months a write off!! Will DTD tonight but I've already lost all hope, the sperm analysis couldn't have timed much worse.

Eva remember that you ovulate 12-36 hours after the surge (which the static) is picking up on so you should be fine! SMEP tells you to DTD for three days after a positive OPK (which is what the static is) so just get on it tonight!!

Sorry that makes no sense but I was excited for you with a static smiley!

eva like flora said, a positive opk doesn't mean you've missed it, just get it on asap, haha!

I'm going to keep an eye on this with my cheapies, my digital test I'll reserve for when I'm actually late. Can't actually believe this might be happening.
