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?

Hi ladies. Been AWOL this weekend sorry! Trying to catch up with everything and one.
To anyone having doubts or worrying please keep faith. Love and baby dust to you all. Want to see those BFPS! Xxx

@FlapJackered it's so annoying with long cycles isn't it? I have no idea where I am or if I've missed ovulating or not this month. I'm starting to feel pre menstrual now as well 🙄 @Trying1stBaby I'm sorry love, keep the faith you won't really know until AF does/doesn't show up! Sending hugs 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@rosesandponies so frustrating! What cd are you on?

Thanks @rosesandponies. Just struggling to keep positive ATM. I have a bad feeling about it all. Sorry to hear the annoyingness of long cycles. I have a friend with three children who has a very long irregular cycle. Just have to keep the BD up for a longer time hehe.

Sperm analysis test booked

Fingers crossed

Morning guys.

Feeling really low and emotional today. Probably doesn't help me and OH didn't have sex yesterday which is defo near my ovulation day apparently it should be tomorrow. So feeling abit sad xx

@Delilah7 - sorry to hear that, can you bd today instead, you might still have time?
I missed ov this cycle (well we Dtd 4 days before so I think it's unlikely).

@hamandpease - me too!! I have got DH going to ask the GP about it on Thursday.
I just figure that I am killing myself trying to stay healthy, not drink too much etc etc and if DH has lazy sperm it will all be for nothing, I could have been having a few more gins! 😂

@FlapJackered it's saying my ovulation day on app should be tomorrow so I'd be in time wouldn't I? Xx

Yes definitely - in fact even better! Just found this graph which is quite interesting and shows I might still be in with a chance this month as we dtd on -4.

Weird how there is more chance on day -4 than -3?

@FlapJackered can you work mine out lovely?? What does - mean against ovulation? X

It basically means your probability of getting pregnant if you dtd however many days before ovulation, so -1 is 1 day before ovulation, -2 is 2 days etc.
You won't know for sure until you ovulate but if your app is saying you will ovulate tomorrow, and if you get a positive opk then you know you will dtd on the purple days which are the best. Does that make sense?

@FlapJackered I really didn't wanna use OPKS yet wanted to try do it relaxed x

Definitely no need to use OPKs, I have learnt this cycle for me I need to just because my cycles are so irregular and long and dtd every other day is a bit much for us, so I think if we left it to chance it probably won't happen.

@FlapJackered but I guess if I don't use them I won't know for sure? My tummy is cramping abit but only noticeable occasionally xx

@delilah I'm so sorry to hear your having a tough time ATM. And don't worry about missing one day. It only takes one BD to get pregnant. Just got to hang in there. Which is easier said then done and your allowed to feel sad about things. Just got to try and keep positive. It only takes one shot and it's done. Send you lots of love and hugs!

Sorry you're having a tough time @Trying1stBaby I know it's frustrating when you think you might have missed a chance, but you're definitely in with a chance the day before ovulation day

You guys thinks? it's going downnn.

Hope you ladies are ok. Been selfish today and haven't asked! Xx

Hope everyone's ok today 👍👍👍

I'm 3dpo and felt a bit of cramping earlier and thought ooooo but probably just needed to fart or something 🙄🤦‍♀️

@hamandpease 😂😂😂 the symptom spotting is hilarious! I was feeling a bit nauseous today and then realised it was more likely due to the entire tub of ice cream I ate. 🤢 Oops!

Hi ladies. I'm not sure how I'm getting on ATM... I have been testing everyday and the test has been gradually getting darker. I have attached today's one... I'm just worried it's not getting darker enough quick enough or it's going to just stop and IL have another chemical... I didn't realise how much it affected me. I feel quite negative. But I'm probably just looking out for myself a little.

That is quite a bit darker now! When is/was your period due? I know it's hard to relax after a chemical, but I think it's a keeper this time! So many congratulations!

@Trying1stBaby oh my gosh how dark is that!! We all have our fingers crossed for a keeper. Keep faith and hope darling x x congratulations!

My period was due Monday Tuesday or today... On average. I am trying... I get so nervous each morning when I do another test. If I keep getting darker tests until Monday IL pop to the Dr and ask them to do blood work to check my HCG is high enough. But need to get through the next few days... Take it a bit of time at a time I guess.

@Trying1stBaby I understand it's probably hard to get excited again isn't it. :( I feel for you. Do let us know. We love a BFP! X

@Trying1stBaby got everything crossed for you x
