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?

@Hcna23 I can't really tell when I wipe myself. I just feel so damp and loose. Sorry TMI! im never like that. And I constantly keep thinking it's wee and it's not hahaa

@delilah7 I know it’s a bit minging but have you touched it with your fingers to check the consistency?

@Summerbab it feels really wet... and slimyish. also my toilet paper is white but when I wipe and look the stuff that's obviously come out has a tinge of yellow ish to it or something...

@deliliah7 hmm that is weird as you’re due on. I’m not an expert at all but my pregnant friend was telling me how much discharge she has now, and it’s comparable to when she was ovulating. Fingers crossed, are you gonna do another test tomoz?

@Summerbab I'm convinced I'm not and don't really wanna even bother wasting money but I'm never normally like this before AF. I'm normally dry right until the day I'm due and then I come on which is the wetness normally!

@Delilah7 that sounds like me last week

I would definitely test again x

@hamandpease it's just so weird I'm never normally wet like this before a period but I just have this feeling I'm gonna come on so x

@summerbab ooh well good luck! I think you definitely notice every little thing much more now - it's impossible not to!
@charlotte1x yeah I googled literally EVERYTHING I'm now a fertility expert (Google told me so 😂) I'm totally hooked on it all! I had every symptom I'm sure in the first month lol.
@luckykitty13 thank you and good luck in your 2ww, feeling any symptoms?
@delilah7 if you're due on, if just wait a day, then if you're late then test. It'll be much more reliable, if you test again now and it's negative you're prob still not gonna be sure if you are or not!
I'm sure you can get some really cheapo ones for a couple of quid from wilko for desperate times though?? Then you won't feel like you're wasting them and save the good tests for when it's late enough to be sure!

No symptoms yet ladies, but only 2 days po. Is desperately wishing and hoping a symptom?! I'm going to use cloth nappies and have been searching eBay already for good deals!

@LuckyKitty13 don't get too hung up on symptoms. I've learnt on my second month if it'll happen it'll happen. If I stress I'll miss my period and think I'm pregnant so what's the point xx

Hello can I please join?

I’m also TTC with first baby on first cycle.. cane off the cilest pill and hoping things happen quickly haha but what will be will be! Sending baby dust to you all

Hi @Em0203
I also was on cilest - how long have you been on it? Are you planning on doing and opks? Or just going with the flow?

Hello @LuckyKitty13 thank you for your reply! I was on Cilest probably about 5/6 years on and off. I’m planning to go with the flow however it’s easier said than done haha, & I find myself already obsessing just cycle 1 .. my other half also works away for some of the month so fully expecting it to take longer haha! How about you? X

@Em0203 I'm so obsessed already! Cycle 1 after being on cilest for about 4 months (condoms for 2 years before that). I'm really hoping my cycles aren't too messed up, but I didn't track them before so I'm not sure what normal is for me. I'm currently in the TWW - only 3ish days post ovulation at the moment. I've used opks this cycle and did have a peak at day 18/19. We've also DTD almost every day from the day my period needed, so I hope it's worked. Not sure I could keep it up every month!

How's everyone else doing?

Welcome @Em0203 and good luck!

@LuckyKitty13 very good going on Dtd everyday! I am not sure I could handle that 😂
Did you start testing opks from the end of your period?

@Delilah7 how are you doing? Have you tested again or are you waiting for a bit longer.

@FlapJackered hi lovely. I haven't tested. I've got ( TMI) a pad in waiting for the lovely period to start. I'm sure it's going to. :( x

Does anyone get lower back pain during ovulation? Not sure if I’m due to ovulate however today I have really bad lower back pain & pain in one side? xx

@FlapJackered yes I did - I was keen to know if my cycles were normal-ish. I was a bit worried that I had no positives at all by day 15 - but then at day 18 evening and day 19 morning I got positives. Then they went negative again. I'd read that you can have a surge for just 12 hours so it can be difficult to miss - pleased I caught it!

Think I've got some pink stuff so I'm out... :( xx

@Delilah7 sorry to hear that. You can join me on the next cycle. Got a good feeling about this one for a bfp for us! 🤞🏻

@FlapJackered I haven't right now lol x

Sorry @Delilah7 thinking of you. Xx

@LuckyKitty13 thanks lovely xxx

@Delilah7 I'm sorry about that had my fingers crossed for you xx

@hamandpease thank you. However ladies I am keeping an eye on it as yesterday if defo seemed like it was a normal period but at the moment it's once again been different x
