TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

[Delilah7]

Hi ladies. We reached the max posts!! @BambiOnIce80 I'm feeling ok, just feel abit silly. My flo app says I'm due tomorrow but I am always 28 days and always have cramps which I don't have yet. How about you xx

@Delilah7 It's not about the time or anything else, it doesn't make it any less traumatic and sad. Be kind to yourself and talk to us when you need to xx

Good advice @CrystalBlaze 💖

You guys are so lovely. 😭 xx

@ChaosMoon, thinking of you today. Keeping everything crossed that it's good news 🤞

@ChaosMoon let us know how you get on xx

Well it's not bad news... there was a teeny tiny blob, that the doctor thought was probably a gestational sack in my uterus. But it was too small to be sure. So have blood tests today and I'll have more later this week. If my hcg levels go up, its not ectopic.

@Delilah7 I hope you've been taking some of this excellent advice and looking out for yourself today.

And I hope everyone else is ok.

Unfortunately, relying on turkey baster (read: syringe) this month. Put my back out and can't even get a bit jiggy with it.

@ChaosMoon I can't help but get excited for you. All looks positive right?! So keep us updated. I've taken it yes. I'm on half days till Wednesday and can have more off if needed but I'm hoping I won't. X x

@ChaosMoon, keeping everything doubly crossed for good news from your blood tests 🤞

@ValidUser, now that's what I call dedication to the cause! 😯 I don't think I'd be arsed this cycle if it was me 😂

@BambiOnIce80 it's month 1, hence the enthusiasm.

Hello everyone! Do you mind if I join you? My DH and I will be starting to TTC after my AF has been and gone (due 8th August). So excited to be finally starting this adventure!

@ValidUser I'd say it doesn't go away but it can get boring 😂😂

@LumosNox welcome! 😘

@ValidUser you poor thing. And that is definitely serious dedication.

@Delilah7 I'm glad you're taking it easy.

@Chaos that sounds like good news!

And welcome @LumosNox! It's all very exciting. I am just starting the TWW.

Thanks ladies, that's what I'm holding onto!

@Delilah7 that sounds like a really good move. I hope you are spoiling yourself on the off part of your half days.

@ValidUser I really hope your back's better soon! But A for ingenuity in the meantime!

Welcome @LumosNox

@ChaosMoon @CrystalBlaze I think I'm just gonna try relax. Can't do nothing when it's this hot 😂 x

Thank you for all the lovely welcomes. It's great to speak to people who are in the same boat.

@Delilah7 I'm sorry to hear the bad news, take all the time you need - only you know how you're feeling.

I've got everything crossed for you @ChaosMoon - it sounds good!

@ValidUser I hope your back is feeling better soon.

Hoping everyone has had a good day today.

Hi All,
DH and I are on C3 this month with AF due tomorrow (well, until I updated some symptoms in my Flo app yesterday and it changed it to Wednesday!) trying not to test too early as I have the past 2 months and feel like I wasted money just for disappointment! It's my birthday on Saturday so if nothing by then, I'm going to test Saturday morning and pray for the best birthday gift!
Wishing you all luck. Xx

@LumosNox thank you 😘

@BabySquid welcome! Defo try not to test to early, I know how hard it is! Keep positive. After 3 cycles it all gets more real. I feel pregnant on my 4th and unfortunately miscarried xx

Welcome @BabySquid! I've got everything crossed for you.

Another one late to the party🎉 this is our third cycle the currently cd16 and 5dpo. My cycles are 21-23 days normally but for the last 2 days my breasts have been so so heavy and sore. I know it's probably far too early to have any signs but I live in hope! I've been with my fiance 6.5 years, we are in the process off selling our first home and moving to our 'family' home, oh...and I'm also a midwife! Love (just about) every moment of it too. Hello to everyone! Hope we can all do this together👭

@Bettyhop fingers crossed my lovely 😍

@Bettyhop you sound very busy at the moment! How close are you to the big move? When do you think you'll be testing? Being a midwife must be so exciting!

Question to all of you - I'm currently taking folic acid and vitamin D as well as trying to eat a bit healthier. Is there anything else you are doing to prepare?

Welcome @Bettyhop and @BabySquid! Our gang is growing by the day!

Thanks @LumosNox.

@BabySquid That's a really good idea. I put my tests in a really awkward place that meant I'd wake DH up if I got them out in the morning. I need the loo so badly when I wake up in the morning there's no way I'd go to all that hassle so it stopped me doing it until I thought it was sensible to!

I hope you get the birthday present you want. My birthday is this weekend too. It's a problem I'm glad I have, that I'm currently deliberating how I fake drinking!

@ChaosMoon oh tell me about it! M-I-L is always so suspicious when I'm not drinking, going to be worse next weekend as it's my hubs 30th!! I'm sure we can think of some excuses 👍🏻 and thank you. Xx
