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

Same problem here @ChaosMoon and @BabySquid. Got a family thing this weekend. I'll be a few days dpo so too early to know anything and not sure what to do! Reading conflicting advice about whether its ok to have a glass of fizz!

What would others do?

Hello lovely new ladies 👋

@CrystalBlaze, I've been reading up a lot on when it is and isn't OK to drink (as I do love a drink! 🍸). Given that an embryo wouldn't implant until 7-9 dpo, most guidance say drinking in moderation is OK before that time frame. During and after that it's best to play it safe and abstain until you know if you're pregnant or not.

@ChaosMoon, my bestie is coming to visit about 2 days before my next AF is due, so I've been giving the fake drinking some thought too 😄 If you can stomach a nice tonic (I think I'd go for fever tree Mediterranean 🤔), then I reckon that with a garnish should create the desired smoke screen 😉

Thanks @Bambi that's really helpful. Maybe I will partake of a small glass

Also good idea on fancy tonic

@ChaosMoon I like the idea of the DH-trap to guard the tests - I might have to try that one!

Happy birthday for the weekend ladies.

@ChaosMoon, @BabySquid and @CrystalBlaze same here. My MIL especially gets super-suspicious if I just ask for a glass of water instead of something alcoholic.

@BambiOnIce80 thanks for the info!

I drink things that look like they could have alcohol in them, like @BambiOnIce80 has suggested maybe a nice tonic?

If I'm handed a drink, I'll try to tactically ditch it. It helps that DH can be my sidekick...

In the interest of sharing, we have turkey basted me 3 times.

Probably due a positive OPK today (and I ovulate fairly soon after that) and my back has yet to improve for sexy purposes.

Morning everyone, and welcome to the newbies
Lumosnox that's all I have been taking up untill now, saw they were recommended on the NHS website
Right, I am making a vow now that I will get pregnant this month 😂 I am cd 9, my fertile week starts next week, I have started taking vitamin C to help my luteal phase and am using pre seed this month, wish me luck guys I am not going down without a fight this time 😂

Happy birthday ladies for the weekend have a lovely time. Love seeing all of these posts, kind of make me excited for the 2ww again and trying!

@RanchoRelaxo go on girl you can do it 😘

@RanchoRelaxo, I'm cd10, so looks like we may be TWW buddies this time 🙂 Thanks for the vit C tip - I suspect my luteal phase could do with all the help it can get!

@Delilah7, that's the spirit lovely 😘

Me too! I’m cycle day 5 and now really looking forward to this month. All this talk is making me excited! We’re going to try SMEP this month and already use Preseed. Fingers crossed for all of us

Got so much love for this group. So glad I did another thread! couldn't of got through nearly the last week without you guys. Seems weird to say I was pregnant nearly a week ago! Very strange.
Looking forward to trying again. Hoping flo app can get it right again soon! x

Once again @ValidUser, I am in awe of your dedication!! It's also the second time within a week that I have sprayed tea across my desk reading this thread 😂 🤣

@Delilah7, thank you so much for continuing the thread. It really is a massive help keeping me upbeat/sane in a process that can be disheartening/head wrecking💖

@BambiOnIce80 well I wouldn't of been able to get through this miscarriage without the support of you all!

@Delilah7 that's lovely. I'm so glad you've been able to get a bit of support

@CrystalBlaze my OH and family ( apart from my devil sister ) have been amazing.

@RanchoRelaxo I've been taking them because of the NHS website as well. Thanks for mentioning vitamin C, I'll add that to my list. You've got this, girl!

@Delilah7 so glad you're feeling excited again. We're here for you, lovely. 😘

This is probably a silly question, but a few of you have mentioned preseed - what is it?

We can do it, ladies! Here's hoping September is our month!

Or August. 😂🙈

Hi everyone

I'm new to this so please bear with me I've recently come off microgynon after being on it for 13 years, I've had my normal withdrawal bleed and have been sexually active with my husband since, I'm suffering cramps and nausea but I think this is mainly from coming off the pill after so long and my body getting back to normal. I've tried to figure when I'll be ovulating but not sure what my cycles will be etc until my body settles. I just find I can't stop thinking about getting pregnant and worried I'll start seeing symptoms that aren't there haha! Is anyone else in / have been in a similar situation ith trying straight after coming off the pill?

Laura xx

Hello ladies,

@Delilah7 I'm so glad this group has helped support you through this. It's weird isn't it, I was pregnant for 4 days then I wasn't. Wishing you lots of luck for your next cycle xx

@ValidUser Ahh I can't wait to hear the outcome of that! xx

@BambiOnIce80 how are you doing? 11dpo today and the only symptom I have so far is needing the loo alot. However I have been drinking alot in this heat! Will probably cave in and test tomorrow!

@LumosNox I think it's a lubricant. Thank you lovely 😘

@laura1405 welcome lovely. I'd say the first 3 months its hard because it can sometimes be coming off the pill symptoms or actual pregnancy symptoms! I had a lot of those symptoms the first three months and the 4th month ( this month ) I got pregnant. Unfortunately I miscarriaged but I can happen!!

Honestly @CookieWaffle it's so strange and such a weird feeling isn't it?!? I'm hoping it's easier from here on out. How're you?? Xx

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that! Sending big hugs, hopefully this month is your month. I think I need to just remind myself that any symptoms I feel I may have are likely just my body getting back to normal after being off the pill. So frustrating that we just have to wait isn’t it xx

@laura1405 all I'll say is I didn't have many symptoms when I fell pregnant. My jeans had got abit tighter on my legs and I had no cramps of a period coming and then I was two days late and pregnant! Xxx

@Delilah7 what doesn't kill you makes you stronger :) I'm glad you're feeling positive for trying again. This TWW has been the toughest so far but it's nearly over at least, just a few more days. Struggling on the positivity today as I feel very not pregnant and I've overexcited myself this cycle. But just need to hold on a few more days...

@CrystalBlaze I'm a firm believer in "drink till it's pink". Maybe not loads, but abstaining when you don't know how long this will take seems crazy.

Sadly @BambiOnIce80 I've never liked tonic, but it sound like a great idea if you do! My plan for the party is too make a fake pimms and real pimms. I'll have a very pregnant friend coming so I can say it's for her and no-one need know which I'm drinking! Getting past my aunts in the pub will be more difficult - we only ever drink wine when we get together!

@ValidUser, I am loving your dedication! 😂

@LumosNox it's a fertility lube. You're vagina changes pH in your fertile window and it's designed to match it. It's also thinner than the normal stuff. It makes it more sperm friendly than a normal lube and is great if you don't get much ewcm. Worked for me.

So glad you're feeling more upbeat @Delilah7. Good luck to everyone who's approaching their fertile window!

Welcome @laura1405. I'm afraid feeling symptoms that aren't anything inevitable - we've all done it! Just try to enjoy out of you can.

@CookieWaffle I stopped feeling anything the day before AF was due. I have absolutely everything crossed for you!
