TTC first baby! Continued...

New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

@NewSparkle huge congratulations!! Keep us updated 😊

@MrsM2017 you sound like me I'm very regular 28 day cycle with the same LP as you! So I guess I ovulated either 13th or 14th as I was having pains and EWCM so I have DTD 10th, 12th, 14th and 15th. But done a amazon stick pregnancy test at 7dpo or 8dpo depending. Flo said 13th I ovulated. But it came back BFN :( xx

Still sounds like early days for you @Delilah7 - but definitely sounds like you baby danced at the right times so you're still not out for this month 🤞🏻💕

@MrsM2017 I'm just so concerned as obviously what happened start of the month so have no idea if I actually have! 😔😘

@NewSparkle Congratulations!!! 🥂🎉

@purplestar9 temp should rise above cover line after ovulation then it dips normally the day before af or day of af for me.

@MrsM2017 that must be so frustrating for you. could you have ovulated later than you thought?

@Delilah7 yeah from what I've read it drops just below ovulation then rises afterwards. Then I've heard if it's stays high then it's a good sign for pregnancy but if it drops then it's a sign of AF. Not sure how accurate these things are but maybe me temping at different times over the weekend might have thrown it out a bit! I guess I'll keep at it and see what happens!

@FlapJackered what happens between ovulation and AF? Does that make any difference? I'm still about 8 days away from AF being due.

@Delilah7 that's the frustrating part of all this TTC business isn't it - not actually knowing anything for definite....and it's so hard to take your mind off of it all isn't it?

@FlapJackered I'm not sure....I guess anything is possible although I was tracking cm and had ovulation pains at the time of the positive ovulation test....so I really don't know....? Been having period type symptoms every day (dull aches and twinges but nothing painful) since 9/10 dpo so was thinking these were implantation cramps or something but I would've thought a test might've shown a positive by now if that were the case....very much hoping that this isnt the start of my regular cycles turning into 30 day + ones!?

Also, just to throw it out there... I'm so spotty at the moment! I feel like a teenager all over again! I'm hoping this isn't what my natural cycle is going to be like now! 😕

@MrsM2017 very frustrating. But I don't want to use OPKS all the time etc tbh at the moment...

@purplestar9 try not to worry this will be my 4th cycle and my spots are finally clearing abit!! X

@Delilah7 no, I don't blame you. I've found tracking everything these past few cycles quite hard work. Keeping everything crossed for you though x

Morning ladies,

@newsparkle! Wooohooooooo!!!!!!! Congratulations! How exciting, and definitely a very strong line 😊 have you told your other half?

@crossfitgirl thanks for the advice, might try it next month if needed. Ah so we are both in our first cycle together! That’s great news about your DH initiating 😊 I’m sure every other day will be more than enough, it’s amazing how much time you spend trying not to get pregnant before this and now it seems like there is so much more involved!

@mrsM2017 Sorry if you have already said but do you know how many DPO you are? Maybe if you are normally bang on time with your cycles it might just be a later implantation so not enough HCG yet? Keep the faith and try in a few days, in the meantime I will keep everything crossed for you

@validuser how are you this morning?

Agreed about trying to keep up, its brilliant to have so many people to talk to but trying to remember everything to reply to is a nightmare, I’ve started writing replies as I read the thread then cutting and pasting them but not sure if I always get it right so apologies to anyone i miss, its defintley not intentional

@ttcat32 I do that cutting and pasting thing too 😁

I'm 16 or 17 dpo - depending on whether ovulation was cd 14 or 15 (I got the positive on cd14 but know there is a window after that for ovulation). So either I implanted late, if pregnant - or my cycle is messed up this month?! Lol.

@MrsM2017 you too Hun xx

@ttcat32 I was just having a ' I miss you ladies ' moment 😂😂

Xx

@MrsM2017 I think you're definitely still in with a shot, although understand that it's frustrating, this whole ttc thing is a lot of waiting around for your body to do stuff 😂 maybe try testing in 2 days tomorrow morning xx

@Delilah7 ahh bless you, hope you are staying positive! 😘 xx

@ttcat32 ugh tell me about it! 😂 I thought the TWW was bad enough, now this!!! Lol

@ttcat32 my OH thinks I'm crazy when I say BFPS, BFN, CM etc so I need you guys 😂😂 xx

@delilah7 i don't tell DH about any of that, i gave him a brief overview so he has a general idea of what goes on but didn't go into detail re the logistics.

Thinking i'm around 5/6dpo, still doing the ov tests daily though! Have had 2 nights off dtd so need to keep an eye on them in case it wasn't last week and i'm in for another long cycle. Have zero symptoms other than sore (.)(.) but they're not exactly "au natural" so cant always be relied on lol

@NewSparkle congratulations!

@ttcat32 still intermittently spotting. I do occasionally get this before AF, so might be a sign of that.

But I desperately want it to be implantation.

Hopeless enough to wear a towel and not do a FRER. Hopeful enough to keep checking if AF has come!

@ttcat32 well I meant our terms hahaha I don't go into the ins and outs! lol xx

@newsparkle wonderful news congrats!

@mrsM hang on in there- it must be very frustrating...

All- still sitting it out here- stopped getting email notifications so thought thread had gone quiet! Got just a few more days before testing - technically due on Friday so let’s see!

Thank you @Angliski 😊 good luck to you too! 💕

@purplestar9 once the temp has dropped before af it should stay low until a further dip before ov then rise after.
I am so spotty too especially after ov! Not good.

Feeling really nauseous today at 7dpo but looking back this is an AF symptom for me so I am trying not too read into it too much.

Omg congrats @NewSparkle 💕

@ttcat32 I'm with you, I can't keep up 😂😩

@MrsM2017 you're not out yet!! Maybe wait a couple of days if AF doesn't arrive, then test again? Xx

@Delilah7 oh sweetie 💕 once AF comes you have a nice start again, just don't pressure yourself too much xx

@cupcakesandglitter trying to feel happy if AF comes so it means I can get a fresh new month and know I'm regular! Xx
