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

Hey @Virgo89 glad you had a talk with your friend. I forget sometimes how amazing they can be when you open up to them. All the best to your nan, doctors can do amazing things these days xx

@ValidUser I'm loving your updates!

As for me I'm reserving any judgment on this cycle until at least tomorrow. Not sure what to think of it right now...

I love all the positivity on this thread... I'm in need of some myself-
So, AF is due today... however, as I said yesterday I had very light, pink spotting yesterday, that went away before 2pm and then nothing. This morning, I have just had very light brown spotting... could this be an implantation bleed? I thought that occurred earlier??
Or am I getting my hopes up and am going to be cheated out again by AF!?!

@CookieWaffle be positive but with a tinge of specticality. 😘

@BabySquid when j found out I was pregnant I didn't have any cramps or anything, but it could be implantation, or could be start of AF. Have you taken a test??

@Delilah7 So sorry to hear about your Grandad 😔

@CookieWaffle I'm a bit out of touch, what's happening with you at the moment?

@BabySquid Hmm, not entirely sure there. I've read about implantation symptoms (cramps, bleeding etc) on here and was googling it the other day (as I had a few random twinges) and came across a website which said it wasn't a thing and that you wouldn't know when implantation had occurred? Bit confusing! As hard as it'll be, try to keep yourself busy and not be in the loo every 5 minutes checking your knickers lol, hopefully AF will not appear!

@Delilah7 no I'm trying not to test until at least Saturday (my birthday)
@Virgo89 that's the problem, I am in the loo every 30 mins!! But luckily I drink a lot of water anyway so by that point I kinda need to go anyway! Lol

Morning All,

Sending love and hope to @Virgo89 and @Delilah7. I lost my grandad a few years ago and I still miss him now. He bought me up, so he was more like my dad really.

@BabySquid, I read that implantation bleeding occurs in about 1 in 3 pregnancies (so about 33.3% of the time), which means it's not rare but also not frequent. Implantation should occur at about CD 7-9, so what you're experiencing might not be that. Don't lose hope though - I also read that pregnant women can get very light bleeding when AF is due, so you're not out yet 🤞

I feel your pain! In spite of my dalliances with syringes and no possibility of any kind of placenta yet, I've developed morning sickness. Pseudocyesis anyone?

@BabySquid I've been spotting ever since my BFP last Friday. I can't tell you what yours means, but it doesn't necessarily mean AF. Have you tested today?

@Virgo89 that's a lot to be going through. I really hope your Nan pulls through soon. @Delilah7 and @CookieWaffle are right. She's in the right place.

@Virgo89 thank you. Had a lot happen in the last three years. Nannie died who was my best friend, my OH's dad, my auntie and my other nan so just want abit of good news!

@BabySquid try and hold out hun, it's hard but try. 😘 could be a lovely birthday present!

@BambiOnIce80 thank you, it never gets easier does it :(

@ChaosMoon good advice there. I didn't have the spotting so it's nice to know someone who has!

@Virgo89 AF is due either today or in the next couple days. Had a CP last month and I'm having deja vu with this month...

@CookieWaffle isnt it strange how time goes so fast when that happens. It's a week already since I miscarried.

And yet the tww feels like an eternity!

@CookieWaffle I know 😂😂😂

@ChaosMoon no I haven't tested. If I still have nothing I'm going to test Saturday.
I've not had anymore spotting now, and usually AF is in full flow by now so I'm just keeping everything crossed🤞🏻 and hoping she stays away

That's a really good sign @BabySquid! Sending lots of baby dust.

I could do with the CM trackers amongst yous advice please, if that's alright ladies?

I haven't been paying too much attention to mine because I don't get a lot of it (thus why I started trying the preseed last month) and I can't be arsed sticking my fingers up there to check properly like the guides tell you to (I apologise now for the TMI ladies - there's going to be a lot of it in this post!). However, in the interest of giving my flo app as much info as possible, I've been trying to pay attention when the fertile window is coming up. I'm CD 11 today, so wasn't even going to bother with OPK's until tomorrow, but I've noticed both creamy CM and EWCM today... Should I be cracking out the OPK's today? It seems way to early for ovulation to me (I'm a 28-30 day cycle and got BFP OPK on CD15 last month) 🤔 Your thoughts would be massively appreciated.x

Ah I'm feeling some bfps due soon, holding out for you CookieWaffle and BabySquid
ValidUser if you do get pregnant this month it will make a great story to gross the grandkids out in years to come 😂
Glad you are starting to feel excited again Delilah7

Hello :) I know this post has been going for a while, but do you mind if I join?
Age 27
Cycle #3
CD16, hopefully ovulation is any day now!

My OPKs are still equivocal and I'm on day 15 of a 27 day cycle (and my back is still dodge).

Might have missed my positive opk with work, but plan on another syringe of jizz tonight.

If this works, will it be an immaculate conception? Will I need to change my username?

Hello can I go hop into this thread? I'm 11 days late and have tested three times all negative 👎🏼 but planning to test Sunday to see if time helps?! Never had af be this late so I'm a bit confused

Welcome newbies. Lovely to have you here!

@purplestar9 cycle 3 is a good one to be on! Good luck Hun!

@KVS14 very confusing, have you been off contraception long? Xx

Hi ladies, I’ve been reading about the benefits of drinking a glass of grapefruit juice each day up to ovulation. Apparently it encourages CM production so you can more easily see EWCM (if you’re tracking that). I’m giving it a go this cycle. Fingers crossed!

Good luck @MrsO10D. If you can keep a glad of grapefruit juice down you're a hero ! 😂

@ValidUser definitely!

So I got a voicemail from the hospital earlier and my hormones are going up as normal. It's such a relief!

@Delilah7 👋 I have been off them since November and fell into a regular cycle straight away. This is very odd for me.

Great news ChaosMoon 😁
