TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

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?

@Wowthisisreal oh my gosh!! Maybe take another one just for safe keeping but I'd say that's a BFP!!!!

starsandstuff · 19/05/2018 09:34

Oh that's even better than a line Grin Test again if you like and I definitely think you don't have to use FMU - Ive seen other people get BFPs later in the day. But that's a BFP! If it was me I'd probably have to stop myself retesting every 3 minutes!

Do you know how many dpo you are?

ErikaSt · 19/05/2018 09:40

@wowthisisreal did you get implantation bleeding?

@delilah7 I’ve Googled implantation bleeding after your comment and now not sure if my bleed was or not. Apparently it can happen 10 days after ovulation - which, if Flo is right, I should have ovulated on the 7th May, exactly 10 days prior to when my bleeding started. It was different from usual AF to start with on Thursday, but then seemed like normal AF yesterday, but then stopped that PM, then suddenly this eve I’ve now spotted again. So confused!! Everything on line is so contradicting! 😫 And says I shouldn’t test for up to 5 days later?!?!

Wowthisisreal · 19/05/2018 22:17

@ErikaSt @rosesandponies thanks!! And no, no implantation bleeding... I had some weird cramps when I thought it might have been but no bleeding at all.

Had all day feeling v strange. Obviously over the moon but also really worried and hyper aware of everything. Just keep on looking at the tests and I keep telling Hubby I just want it to grow and be healthy. I presume this is normal. I booked a dr appointment because that's what you do right!?

ErikaSt · 19/05/2018 22:31

@Wowthisisreal Awww, what a lovely feeling. I’m so happy for you! Looks like that bottle of white will have to wait for wetting the baby’s head now! 😉

Wowthisisreal · 19/05/2018 22:34

@ErikaSt I know!!! 😫😂

RESPONSIBLE. That's the word for how I feel.

hamandpease · 20/05/2018 07:48

Congratulations @wow!

I now have the period pain (4/5 days early 🙄) grrrr

Hopefully next month!

@Wowthisisreal congratulations!! That must be so exciting for you!

@Fredthespider we're doing the Clear blue trial too!

Although I had peak fertility last Thursday but my bbt still hasn't risen over the cover line yet which is weird. Does anyone know if that means I haven't ovulated? Or can a slow rise after bbt be normal? Not sure if I should continue testing...

Wowthisisreal · 21/05/2018 23:30

Thanks @rosesandponies and @FlapJackered 😊 x

Wowthisisreal · 21/05/2018 23:31

@rosesandponies and YES! So broody!

@FlapJackered tbh I haven't been able to spot any sort of change in my body temperature at all at any point in my cycle - ovulation strips seem to be the only thing that helps me. I just used a normal household medical thermometer and charted it. It's not the right indicator for my body, but others swear by it

How is everyone getting on?
I am not sure where I am in this cycle. Testing on Friday, but feel very doubtful as temps are still all over the place!

Delilah7 · 29/05/2018 11:04

@FlapJackered feeling super down and deflated. Took a test said negative but everyone keeps saying it could be too early. I've got massive boobs weird taste in mouth and just feel strange. AF is due either Friday or Monday. How're you?!

FlapJackered · 29/05/2018 11:13

@Delilah7 sorry to hear that, how many dpo are you?
If AF isn't due until Friday it could be too early? Those symptoms sound promising though! Maybe we should wait and both test on Friday morning?

I have no symptoms and my temperature is still below the cover line, so even though I had a positive digital opk I am not convinced I even ovulated. I am not holding out much hope Sad
