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

@BambiOnIce80 can't actually quite believe it if it is... didn't know ovulation would happen that quick! 😂

Sounds positive to me @Delilah7. Bear in mind it was an early MC so more chance of your cycles getting back to normal more quickly. Go for it!

@CrystalBlaze ahhhhh it defo feels like it!!

Ahh ladies, this will make you laugh. I just went on LinkedIn and one of my connections posted a report their business just released. It actually refers to being a woman as a 'diversity status'! Well if that hasn't put us back 100 years, I don't know what has. I think being a woman is bloody awesome!

Being awesome if definitely something to remember while TTC, especially through the highs and lows.

Too right @MrsO!

Spotting today, but probably too early for implantation and definitely too early for AF.

Hi all, can I join you all. I have been reading through the posts. TTC almost a year, 11DPO. Can anyone recommend the best test to use? Thanks

Hi, hope you don't mind if I join?
TTC #1 waiting to start my first proper cycle. Stopped the pill end of June and had my withdrawal bleed and nothing since then! I've had no twinges or anything to speak of and no sign of AF. Has anyone else had experience stopping the pill and had to wait so long? Just want my body to kick in and get going so that we can start trying.

Thanks @Delilah7. From what little I know I think you can ovulate fairly promptly again after a miscarriage -- so you could well be.

@RanchoRelaxo yes, it definitely feels like it should have happened by now! It makes the years of anxiously taking birth control, occasional MAP and terrified pregnancy tests seem very ironic.

@BambiOnIce80, thanks, that's good (well, useful) to know! You're right that there's still plenty of time, so fingers crossed -- for us both!

Remind me how many dpo you are @ValidUser? I've read implantation can occur between 7-9dpo (one source said 6-10 too).

@Hopefull37 welcome 👋 If it's the early preg tests you're after, I bought the onesteps off amazon which are sensitive down to 10IU/ml. Anything that gets down to that level should be good for an early test 👍

And welcome @Buttons28 🙂 I had the minerva taken out rather than being on the pill, but one of my friends came off her pill in April and still hasn't had AF yet. She went to the doctors and they said to not worry because it can take as long as 6 months 🙄 Hopefully yours will get here sooner rather than later 🤞

Absolutely 🤞🍀 for us both @TakingtheLeap 🙂 And don't be a stranger, you lurker you! 😉

Thank you. I got the boots one in the way home I really want to POAS now, is it best to wait until the morning? I’ll check if it has sensitivity you mention.

@BambiOnIce80 I'm somewhere between 2 and 4, so very unlikely! Theoretically possible very early on but apparently rare before day 6.

Psychological pregnancy, methinks!

@Hopefull37 you're better to wait until first thing in the morning straight after you wake up. If the HCG is there it'll be at a higher concentration then, so less likely to get a false BFN that way.

I'm 1dpo @ValidUser, so I'll be joining you very soon with the psychological shenanigans 😄

Welcome new ladies!

If it's any help for all those about to symptom spot, I only had symptoms in the second week of the tww and most of those I could find some alternative reason for. I think the going to the loo alot from about 12 dpo was the first thing that got me thinking. And then the tiredness from about 13dpo. Got a tiny brown implantation drop on 11dpo, I suspect it happened arond 9dpo. Otherwise was a pretty normal couple weeks!

Called docs today, didn't realise I don't go and see anyone til 8 weeks, it's like I still can't confirm it for another month. It's like the 2ww became the 4ww!

@CookieWaffle I'm a doctor. If I agree you're pregnant does that count?

@ValidUser the syringing makes a lot of sense now - you're no stranger to them! 😂🤣

Good luck with the 4WW @CookieWaffle! 🤞

Yes Bambi. I am comfortable with a syringe in my hand. And apparently in my vagina too.

(That face is directed at myself, not at you.)

@ValidUser that made me laugh. I am starting to drive myself a bit mad symptom spotting. Keep casually feeling my boobs which definitely doesn't look weird at all.

Ahaha yes it makes sense now hah. And I was gonna suggest vet.

I feel like I have so much power, I could make up all sorts of things now and the docs would believe me. I'm actually really skinny I'm just wearing lots of clothes. I identify as a gerbil. Oh this chocolate? It's actually lettuce. Yes I'm pregnant, it's a panda baby.

I tried to identify as rich once but the bank took issue.

@ValidUser after the amount of fertility lube applicators I've gone through this cycle I'm beginning to think that embracing the syringe approach is but a tiny step away 😏

@CrystalBlaze my boobs were particularly uncomfortable in the last TWW & I too found myself copping a feel to try and judge if they were getting more or less uncomfortable... it's only a matter of time before I'm caught in the act by colleagues 🙄 Really need to think of a good excuse, just in case I need it 🤔😂

Haha i know that feeling

Well I did a test this evening at 6pm and it was negative, no AF still though so will wait til Wednesday morning and do another test first thing if still no show. Would be day 34 by then... Is there not the rule like with the ovulation tests where the first pee isn't accurate, or is first pee the best with pregnancy tests?
