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?

Can't wait to join you guys in testing!

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 12:45

Shall I try again tonight too? As I had sex Tuesday today aswell but ovulation day was yesterday?

starsandstuff · 18/05/2018 12:58

Can't hurt Wink

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 13:00

@starsandstuff other half will be happy 😂

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 14:57

@hamandpease @rosesandponies me too! 😂😂😂

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 14:58

Can one of you ladies share with me why FRER is the best one to do? It's all everyone seems to use!! I bought clear blue early response digital - are they not as good?

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 15:01

@Delilah7 Hubby has already mentioned we haven't DTD since ovulation.... oooops! 😂😂😂

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 15:04

@Wowthisisreal I'd go for clearblue but they're too expensive for me haha. Don't wanna spend all that money. And uhhhhh oh!! You're in trouble ;)

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 15:07

@Delilah7 I did say there was nothing in it and to be honest I hadn't noticed. I'm quite lucky I guess that I don't think I'll ever have to worry about him turning me down around FW - he is always up for it!! 😂

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 15:08

@Delilah7 and yeah I guess it's obvious I am a newbie to this 🙈

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 15:11

@Wowthisisreal oh my gosh please don't worry I am too. New and so naive about stuff. 😂😂I didn't pay enough attention in sex education Hahahaha

Wowthisisreal · 18/05/2018 15:18

@Delilah7 I swear I'm PSHE they used to take the Mean Girls school of argument that if you have sex unprotected you will get pregnant. End of. 😂 And then you go to the dr and they tell you miss one pill and that's it, you've got a baby on the way.

I mean it obviously happens and I knew the biology of it all this time but it still makes me giggle when I think about it!!

I mean it obviously happens and I knew the biology of it all this time but it still makes me giggle when I think about it!! The amount of times I took a HPT and I really didn't need to!!

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 15:33

@Wowthisisreal I wish that you would bloody happen now!! I missed three before I actually stopped mine 😂😂😂

@Wowthisisreal I feel the exact same hahahaha - I remember convincing myself I was pregnant so many times from missing one pill, sending boyfriends on missions to the get the morning after pill, panicking if I was a day late and calling my mum up crying.... I'm really laughing at my younger self now!

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 16:54

I did that like 4 years ago 😂😂😂 I was so naive.

ErikaSt · 18/05/2018 18:22

Catching up on this thread and the comments are so funny 😂

I’m sure when I was younger girls just got drunk and fell pregnant..who would have thought it would get so scientific- wish I paid more attention in sex ed! 😄

You are all so brave continuing to test so early! After testing last month because AF was late and seeing a negative response, I don’t think I can do it now til I’m overdue by a few weeks. I felt so deflated. Not that I felt much better when AF came this week. Just to do a test made it real I guess

Anyone find it a bit ironic the supermarkets put tampons next to nappies and baby stuff?! Never noticed that til yesterday.

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 18:25

@ErikaSt I wish it was that easy now to get bloody pregnant 😂😂

I'm with you Erika I'm not sure whether I'll test early. Might wait to see if I'm late but not like I'll know as I haven't had my first period off the pill yet!

How strange.

ErikaSt · 18/05/2018 18:40

@Delilah7 haven’t you? Oh my goodness, that must be so confusing! Have you been off it for long?

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 18:43

@ErikaSt nope, so I stopped taking it like couple days into May. Had what I thought was my period as my period was a few days away but everyone's been saying it was my withdrawal bleed?! So I'm so confused 😂😂

Wowthisisreal · 19/05/2018 08:59

OMG so I'm actually shaking as a write this. I just took a test and it's a BFP?!?!?!!!

It's a Clear Blue Early digital one. I'm in shock. I'm on CD 30 and I used my FMU. AF could be 4 days late or 4 days early.

Can you get a false BFP?!

I'm in shock.

Delilah7 · 19/05/2018 09:04

@Wowthisisreal OH MY GOD!!! Show us!! Congratulations!!

Wowthisisreal · 19/05/2018 09:06

@Delilah7 should I take another one?!?!

TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?
starsandstuff · 19/05/2018 09:09

@Wowthisisreal that might be a great username!! Congratulations! You can't have a false BFP, you'll only get a line if the pregnancy hormone is there. Fx for you Thanks

Wowthisisreal · 19/05/2018 09:16

@starsandstuff slightly freaking out. In a good way. But still freaking out. Just despatched DH to buy loads more tests! Can I test in the same FMU or should
I try again later!?
