TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

[rosesandponies]

So.... first baby 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼🙏🏽 Meant to be ovulating tomorrow. Main challenge atm is keeping things fun with the husband and not making him feel like a baby making machine 😂 How’s it going for other hopeful first time mummy’s?

@delilah that is so so natural. When I didn't want a baby I would really want one when I held a baby of someone I love. And then experiencing that when trying yourself it will be on another level. And it's not a mean thought either, you just can't wait to be in their position. My best friend is pre ATM and we are so close we were each other made of honours and everything and I am so insanely happy for them but I get green eye monster and want what they have. It's ok to feel like that! And it will be you before you know it ❤️ xxx

Sorry pre ATM means pregnant haha. Bloody phone 😉 xxx

@Trying1stBaby thanks lovely you've made me feel normal. Makes it worse as everyone says it suits you or you'll be a great mum haha xx

@delilah I know IV had that too and it's like I'm doing everything I can hahaha! But it will happen soon and you will be an amazing mum! Xxx

@Trying1stBaby same for you lovely! Would be so nice to have someone to fall pregnant with the same time to join me on this journey! Xx

@delilah I know it really would. Someone you can chat to and understands everything. Xx

I've definitely had that too girls - feeling happy for someone else's baby joy but jealous for myself, even before we started trying. My best friend has 2 babies now and they're adorable but it's hard not to feel sad when I leave her home to go back to mine, it feels empty. Just have to remind myself that the fastest way to make yourself unhappy is to compare yourself to others' - life isn't a race!

@rosesandponies defo harder now me and OH have a 4 bed house when there's two of us! Makes me realise how much happier we would be if we could add a baby now too it. You know 'new house new baby' saying 😂😂

@Delilah7 @rosesandponies I had exactly that today, looking after my nephew who is a year old and he was just so so cute. At one point he was so happy to see his Mum coming into view and my heart just broke as I so want that. 😩

I am now on cd43 and giving up the will to live with these bloody cycles! What's worse is I have been feeling sick for the last week and reading so much into it even though I have had bfn's and no real sign I have ovulated so it is highly unlikely. I just want to stop hoping now and have a fresh cycle to focus on, but AF just won't show her ugly face. I am in a 4 + week wait kind of purgatory!

Is anyone testing this week coming? We need a bfp on this thread!

@FlapJackered your nephew sounds lovely, hopefully yours won't be far behind x

Hey ladies... Please don't judge but I totally caved and did a test this morning and got a really faint line... I'm just so nervous... As soon as I saw the test I was so upset because it could the same way as last time. I just don't know how it all works... Because IV had one chemical will I have another?? 😥 In a way I wish I didn't know and I waited to see if AF would come this week.

@Trying1stBaby congratulations! I know it's a worrying time for you, and we've got everything crossed that it will be a sticky one.

Congratulations @Trying1stBaby I've got everything crossed for you xx

@luckykitty13 and @hamandpeas thank you. I'm just trying to go on as normal and IL just have to keep testing for a week or so. IL of course keep you posted. Xxx

🤞🏻and a tentative congrats! It's impossible not to test when you know you could get a bfp isn't it.

🤞🏼 everything crossed for you!

Thanks ladies, literally haven't told anyone apart from you guys. I just prefer to talk anonymously and with ladies who will understand. IL keep you posted! Just trying to not get ahead of myself and take each day as it comes xxx

@Trying1stBaby oh my god darling congratulations. Fingers crossed for a good result!! Xxx

Thanks @delilah. Just have to wait and see what happens now I guess. I'm not as nervous as I was this morning though. I'm feeling now what will be will be and I can't guess. Just got to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

@Trying1stBaby try have hope. My nephew is the reason I believe in miracles and faith so keep strong xxx

Hey guys sorry I’ve been a bit awol..

nothing much to report here so decided to take a break from mumsnet to clear my head in a sense.. I’m coming up to cd95 😬😩 so frustrated by it..
DH has his SA on Thursday so we’re going in to see the doctor on Tuesday for the results and hopefully to get referred to a fertility specialist fx..

Will keep you updated with whatever happens

I think I might be having another chemical 😣. I did a test again this morning and it is no different to yesterday. It hasn't got any stronger. 😥

I know it's tough but try not to worry yet @Trying1stBaby that is only 24 hrs give it another 48 hrs and see. If there is still a line you're still good 🤞🏻

@WaitingForThatBFP sorry to hear that, I am feeling down at 45dpo so I can't imagine how you are feeling. These long cycles are so demoralising aren't they, you just don't know where you are with them.

Natural cycles is now saying I ovulated in saturday and DH and I only Dtd on Wednesday so think it's unlikely for me this cycle which is so frustrating. I stupidly gave up on the opks because it was such a long cycle I thought I wasn't going to ov. Idiot 🤦🏼‍♀️
