TTC first baby! Continued...

New thread!
@Delilah7 @daisiesandpeonies @Crossfitgirl

@purplestar9 I'm at home due to actually being sick in the morning. I'm debating whether I've just got an infection after the miscarriage and am now coming down with something :/ x

I hope not @Delilah7 please keep us updated.

A friend of my husbands had been told she'd had a miscarriage and they went through the mourning process and everything to later find she didn't have a miscarriage at all and she was 18 weeks along! They now have a healthy daughter! I hope you haven't been given wrong information too @Delilah7. I'm assuming you have done another test to see?

@purplestar9 yeah it was a negative Hun x x x

Did that the 10th August x

I have no idea why my last post went all bold! Haha.

@Delilah7 well as least you know then. Let's hope this is pregnancy! I bet you'll feel 10 times better about feeling like this if it was for pregnancy!

Still spotting. Cycle day 29. I always have a 27 day cycle.

12 dpo.

(Testing negative, but dare I hope?)

@purplestar9 if it was that I would t mind but I think I'm just kidding myself.

@ValidUser fingers crossed honey x x

@ValidUser fingers crossed lovely - until your period begins in earnest you don't know that it's negative for sure

Hello all....new here and ttc first. Stopped mini pill two weeks ago. No sign of AF yet x

6DPO and so bloated and have had intermittent stabbing pains lower tummy/ ovary area. Possible early implantation??

@mrsof20118 welcome! 😊

flapjackered I swear the TWW goes in slow motion. I’m now CD8 and the first day of SMEP!

That’s really interesting. Valid, for some reason I assumed keto was unsafe for TTC/pregnancy. My BMI is not in the normal range and I’d desperately like this to change because I’m terrified it will impacted TTC but keto/low carb seems to be the only thing that works but I thought I shouldn’t do it. Do you have any links I can have a read of?

Hope you feel better deliliah

@Patapouf thanks x

@Patapouf (obligatory I am a doctor but this is not medical advice), loads of people seem to get pregnant on keto but keto in pregnancy is controversial and generally not advised.

I'm comfortable doing it until I ovulate but would avoid in 2ww, but it's such a personal decision.

I'm CD19 my lower abdomen above my pubic bone is rock hard, my nipples are killing me and I have lower back pain. I'm pretty sure it's all in my head or I'm ovulating later than I thought, also super veiny. Help I think I'm been a massive symptom spotter x

Feeling sad tonight, I just know I am not pregnant but I just don't want AF to come again and I know she is going to. I am so fed up with getting my hopes up each time, I just feel like I am never going to be pregnant. 😢

Sorry for the rant, just struggling to wait to know until Sunday. It seems so far away.

@FlapJackered don't say sorry, it's completely understandable. It's easier said than done, I know, but try and stay positive. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason - your time will come xx

@FlapJackered I hear you!

I'm wanting AF to just get it over with and show up.

Verging on 3 days late but negative tests. 12 dpo.

Hoping your AF stays away. X

@flapjackered big hug to you - it is very tiring wondering and waiting and feeling uncertain

@delilah hope you are feeling better and

@mrsof welcome to our safe space!

No news this end - might test tomorrow eve.

@FlapJackered oh goodness lovely, keep your chin up! It'll happen when it's absolutely right for you. However, I completely get why you're so frustrated! It can't be easy. We're all here for you!

@flapjackered your time will come! Sunday is not long to wait... What cycle are you on? I think your body is just waiting for the perfect baby. It's not going to settle for any old thing :-) you want a sticky bean that sleeps through the night and never has tantrums! You never know, your holiday may just have been what you needed.
I agree with @cupcakesandglitter - everything happens for a reason.

@validuser what tests are you using? Sounds very promising, are you usually regular? Sorry if you've already said - I've had to read 2 pages to get here!

@delilah7 did you feel sick last time? I hope you feel better soon and if not, that it's for a good reason! If you had similar last time maybe it's a good sign?

@purplestar9 fx for ovulation! It's so hard to know what's real symptoms and what's symptom spotting isn't it! Go with implantation.... visualise... visualise! 😂 when will you test?

@Robync19 those symptoms seem very real pg symptoms! I do get bloated and hard nipples at ov, but not as much before AF. Is it different to normal? When are you testing?

Who else is testing soon? Good luck!!

Welcome to all the new people I haven't said hi to yet!

Sooo.. we just sold our house today and we are going to put an offer in on a 5 bed town house...are we stupid for doing this before kids?? Am I gonna be rattling around with all that space and be depressed at having no babies to fill it with yet?

I'm cd10 and will be going into my fertile week soon, please wish me luck with our first month of "PROPER" trying... I am going to try instigate every other day sex from tomorrow. It's cycle 5, but I'm tempted to say cycle 1... makes me feel better!

@Crossfitgirl oh god no!! Go you, and congrats - hope it all goes well! If we could have afforded to have a bigger house, we definitely would have I'm sure even if we didn't have kids I could still fill the space

And good luck! It counts as your first 'proper' month I suppose x

No worries @Crossfitgirl! Using FRERs, but hypothetically I could have started to implant at 10 dpo and if the HCG was rising slowly it mightn't give a positive yet.

I'm normally 27 days like clockwork. Occasionally early, but never late. Almost on cd 30 now.

I feel like I'm being unrealistic, but I think we all need a bit of hope on this journey.

Just thinking here, but I had 2 straight days of positive OPKs. Generally advice is to calculate from first positive, but I could still be 11 dpo and not 12. I could have ovulated as late as 36 hours after either positive.

I'd definitely keep testing every day just in case! I'm not sure how OPKs work but I'm guessing if you had the two days, you may be right in that you ovulated a day later? X
