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?

@delilah7 it makes sense to keep doing what worked for you, and if you don't need to do OPKs then definitely stick to just using flo, I think that sounds much more relaxing to be honest! I'm happy I did as now I know I'm ovulating later than all the apps told me, I must have a weird cycle, but for you it sounds like it's got it spot on. It has adjusted now that I've put my positive OPK date in, so it seems accurate.
You seemed to be really in tune with your body through all of this too and I think that is really the most important thing.
I'm glad you are taking your time - it's a very tough thing to happen.
Have you got anything nice planned for you and your OH to look forward to? I always find having a nice little date night or something in the diary helps me think more positively when I'm down, even if it's a while away.

@Crossfitgirl thank you lovely 😘 means a lot. My periods were very regular too so I was lucky. Well not yet, got a party tomorrow to let off some steam and see some long distant family! I've just had abit of an afternoon my sister and me just had a full blown argument. She doesn't see what she done wrong not asking how I was for a few days or being there. She's saying I'm making her look and feel bad for no reason. Arghhhh. Flo app has defo been good for me obviously haha x

@Delilah7 - thank you so much for your lovely words. I feel so guilty for feeling so sorry for myself when I can't begin to know how difficult it has been for you recently.
I have the day off today and went back to bed for a bit and feel a bit better so I think it was all a bit exacerbated by tiredness.

I think it sounds like a good plan taking your time about it all. I hope you're feeling ok.

Thanks @Crossfitgirl . I did talk to OH about it and he is trying to be supportive but doesn't really know what to say to make me feel better. He did suggest we try and get to see a fertility specialist about my long cycles if this one is a long one again.
Off to Italy so at least it will take my mind off everything if nothing else.

@FlapJackered we all have different issues and hurdles. Mine isn't worse than anyone's - we are all in this together and will be here if you need us anytime xxxx

@Delilah7 am so inspired by how strong and positive you're being - you will be such a great mum, such a rock! Sorry that you've had a family row, as much as we do love our families they do get away with saying such insensitive stuff!
@FlapJackered sending hugs your way - it's often a struggle with the husbands isn't it? Like all of the responsibility is on us to make things happen. I hate my long cycle

@daisiesandpeonies thank you ❤️ unfortunately it got ten times worse last night and it finally blew up. Xx

Such a loser how smug I feel entering 'unprotected sex' into Clue and Flo calendars 😂 Starting to enjoy it more than the actual sex 😂😂

@daisiesandpeonies satisfying isn't it?!

@daisiesandpeonies I am exactly the same! So satisfying!
Feeling a bit more positive today, seen the doctor and she is going to do some bloods for progesterone and testosterone and I am getting scan, so hopefully will get to the bottom of the irregular cycles. 🤞🏻
Day 11 of flashing smiley, but got some ewcm today so who knows what's happening! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Delilah7 - Are your family not being supportive? If so that's not kind when you have been through so much. I hope you're ok? 😘

@FlapJackered everyone is apart from my sister and her husband - no shock there tbh. 😘

I'm the same, love seeing those little love hearts and rabbits on my apps! Does anyone else sneakily try to put it in your phone straight away? I have done while DH is in the bathroom after!! Haha.

That's good news @flapjackered, has it given you some reassurance now that you may get some answers?
I have read somewhere that CM is the single best way to identify when you're fertile, that does sound confusing though with the smileys - maybe go with your body rather than clear blue this month, it's got to be a sign of something, it is only EW to help those spermies up to your egg so must mean something! Are you planning to DTD again?

@delilah7 bloody family!! They always know how to rub us up the wrong way!
I am sure it doesn't mean she doesn't care or isn't worried about you, she is your sister after all, but I guess not everyone is very good at being empathetic or knowing what to say? What made things blow up? The last thing you need is family stress on top. Try not to let it get to you lovely, you have enough to think about xx

Why are my posts always like essays?? 😂😂 sorry ladies!

@Crossfitgirl it blew up because my brother in law posted on my Facebook our dirty laundry so everyone could see. Didn't mention thank god about my miscarriage but if I'd of written back something about it he'd of looked like a right arsehole. Then he got into a heated argument with my mum etc etc xx

Guys will someone make a new thread under this name with #2 on or something. It can stop after 1k posts :(

I have started a new one and tagged the latest posters. Hopefully got everyone!

Thanks everyone is it going to stop quite soon then? @Crossfitgirl I enter it with him next to me tbh, he's just given up on trying to stop me being crazy about it all now 😂 @Delilah7 sorry to hear about all of what you're going through with the family - they've picked a really bad time to be nasty!
