TTC first baby... mega thread!

[Crossfitgirl]

For those of us TTC first baby, a continued thread for August 2018 :-) a place to share our new mummy journeys!

Thank you @Delilah7 and @sunshine1987 - awful frustrating isn't it!! Have you got cramps too?

@MrsC87 I'm in Cornwall 🙂

Hi all!

Please can I join?

30, married 2 years. Came off the pill about 5 months ago but only this week have we 'properly' started to try and I'm already incredibly excited (and super nervous!!)!

Good luck all, can't wait to follow your journeys!

@AlwaysInJods yeah, had cramps and pinching since Saturday and felt like I had done sit ups. Then this evening I've started spotting but it's not like blood blood, like brownish/pink. I dunno. Have you had any other signs? x

@sunshine1987 yep exactly the same. I started feeling really nauseous on Sunday pm & have been feeling sick in waves since. My boobs literally grew on Monday 😂 and tmi, sorry, have had quite a bit of white creamy cm over the past few days.

I usually get really bad PMS (DH & I ALWAYS have an argument 2-3 days before)... so far I've had nothing. What about you? X

@AlwaysInJods felt sick only when in the car but generally other than the cramps and spotty there's nothing really. Had a bit of creamy CM but nothing that needed a liner or anything lol. Symptom spotting out in full force 🙈 bring on Saturday x

Ahh I'm honestly driving myself wild!! Have you done a test yet?
I just read that light pink spotting can be a sign of stress... now I'm stressed because I've been stressing 😩

@sunshine1987 @AlwaysInJods I've been having cramping as well and feels like I've pulled a muscle (but without the pain!) in my stomach... I'm exhausted all the time even with going to bed at a very reasonable hour! I can't wait till we can all test!

@mrsof20118 Birmingham :)

@AlwaysInJods sounds like it could be IB! Fx

@MrsR16 how long until you test? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter officially AF is due on Monday... so I should be strong and hold out till then! I'm so keen to know either way though even though I'll be gutted if it's a BFN

@MrsR16 that's understandable- not long to wait though, fx this is your month :) x

@MrsR16 all sounds positive though! Fingers crossed it's your month x

@AlwaysInJods when will you test? I've not yet, going to wait until Saturday as that's when I'm due on x

@cupcakesandglitter @sunshine1987 aww thanks ladies! We shall see 😊 I hope we all get our BFPs soon! Xx

HI everyone, just trying to catch up on the thread.

Big big congrats to purplestar what a lovely anniversary present!

Welcome to the thread cats

Hi all! Can I join please?

TTC #1, 27 years old, got married last year, had the Mirena coil removed to start trying. Now on cycle 9/10 and 3DPO today, eek!

Good luck everyone!

Wow just catching up - so many posts

Congrats @purplestar - is that three BFPs on this thread? Such a lovely lucky thread and looking forward to hearing about your journeys (and hopefully to following you into BFP territory myself soon).

Welcome @MMKMN and @bananabanana and other newbies (still a newbie myself really though).

@crossfitgirl how was JT? Have to say I am more than a little jealous and hope it’s cheered you up after a tough couple of days. We don’t tend to DTD that much either so I think I might be having similar stresses next week.

My temperature has dropped overnight so AF is on her way, my body has been so shit this month giving me symptoms I've never had these last 6 months. Feel so deflated.

@sunshine1987 you're not out yet... keep positive love 🤞🏻
Also @MrsR16 good luck to you sweetie.
Welcome to the new ladies @bananabanana & @MMKMN hope you find this thread as enjoyable and useful as I know I do!
BFPs for some on the horizon I can feel it 🤗

Also to @AlwaysInJods sorry I missed you sweet, keeping x'd for you too 🤗

@AlwaysInJods no Hun I'm waiting for my first period after MC xxx

@bananabanana @MMKMN welcome newbies.

Day 30 of my cycle. 5 weeks since miscarriage bleed started and stopped. No signs of AF! Doctors tomorrow.

Good morning ladies, hope you don't mind if I tag along? Just looking to make some friends on this baby journey.
A little bit about me, been ttc now for just over 3 years, had an ectopic last year with right tube removal due to large rupture. On my first month of Clomid. Symptom spotting is driving me a little loopy. Af due Monday. I'm currently experiencing sore nipples but not breast, this is really unusual for me as I got big boobs but they just don't work usually. Lots of lower cramps and had then since ov. Tired but insomnia, mood swings, cried on an advert yesterday! 🙈 and excessive creamy cm, sorry tmi. 2 bfn yesterday and today. Feeling a bit glum today. Anyone else had the same symptoms or can offer advice?
Thank you ladies, and baby dust in abundance to you all. 💖x

@shelleybear0313 welcome hunny.
I had a pregnancy last month and had creamy/watery cm about a week before BFP. I took my test a few days after AF was due. Keep your head up. You're not out till AF shows xx

Good morning all and welcome newbies 🌞

Just catching up on yesterday. @BabySquid, I hate testing early too but I did last cycle because there was a big night out and I didn't want to be all bitter and twisted if I missed out on lovely cocktails only for AF to rockup the day after 😒 Got a BFN, AF did indeed rock-up the day after and I didn't mind quite as much because I'd had lovely cocktails with my friends 🍸

I'm also a biomedical scientist and thought about the salivary ferning, but even I draw the line there! 🔬 SSP needs no further ammunition than I'm already giving her to send me nuts 😉

It's also my first acupuncture session today ladies. I'll report back for you @Rach142 📍

@BambiOnIce80 let us know how you get on lovely 😊

@Delilah7 good luck tomorrow hun, keep us posted xxxx
