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!

Hey guys... so I'll be testing early this month... due to a wedding as I've mentioned.
Do you think my Tesco's own will work or should I stop being tight and buy a frer?? I'm due on Monday so it's only 2 days early.

Morning all. I said I wouldn't torment myself this time and google things. Here I am 7 days to wait googling symptoms! Why do I do it to myself. Why can't I just wait!

@BabySquid check the sensitivity of the test. I'd of thought it would be fine. I've read that the early test ones are sometimes the same sensitivity as the cheaper tests when checked

Thanks @gjchapman I'll have a look. Do you know what is a good level of sensitivity? I've no idea!

@BabySquid just looked on google and first response is 6.3 mlU/ML and clear blue early response 25mlu/ML it should say on the packet or in the instructions what they are

@gjchapman I think I'll just splash out and get a decent frer🙈🤞🏻

@MrsR16 fingers crossed. Leave it a few days if you can Hun xx

Feeling so worked up and angry today. Not sure if it's work, ttc, hormones or just life but really feeling I can't cope. Not like me at all...
Hope everyone has a positive week xxx

Aww @bettyhop I hope you are ok. It's been a horrible time for you - you're bound to feel a bit down. Are you in work?

@gjchapman I am the same.
So, I hardly slept last night with ovulation type pain. Today my boobs are still sore which isn't normal. And for some reason - my legs ache???

I didn't do anything yesterday that could have caused that...
Or Saturday from what I can remember.

I felt a bit iffy earlier too, but then had something to eat and felt better.

I am symptom spotting like crazy. I'm only 4dpo!! Due Saturday.
Did someone else on here get achey legs before their BFP?

Xxx

Hi @Bettyhop I'm feeling the same so you're not alone...hoping it's stupid hormones and I'll feel better later. Sending lots of love!
Are you at work today? x

Morning ladies, did we all have a nice weekend? Hope everyone is well. I thought this morning would be my decider, I would either have my af or a positive test! I have neither! All my symptom spotting this last few weeks I thought would be at an end today! Now I don't know what's going on. Has anyone else been on Clomid and it made them late? I'm so exact usual the day I'm due on is the morning I come on, I'm never ever late! I honestly don't feel like af is on its was either! Here is to a few more days demented! 😂😭xxx

@Crossfitgirl you can get the pain 4dpo, I had cramps 5dpo and lower back pain. I'm tired. My boobs did hurt and don't any more and I've started the last few days with strange dreams. Oh and migraine but I get them anyway!

I really don't want to set myself up for a fall so I'm keeping it all to myself, just incase it's just AF

I hate the tww

Morning ladies! Seems like few of us having a similar experience. AF was due yesterday. No signs of AF and another BFN this morning. Don’t want to waste anymore money on tests so not sure how long I should give AF before I test again.

Hey @Malichick I'd give it a couple of days or more if you can resist. Keeping em crossed for you. X

@Crossfitgirl I had really achey legs after BFP, not sure if that helps! Are you definite on when you ovulated?

Ladies I've just started a new thread called in conception called ' TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread ' just in case we go over.

@Malichick couple more days should do it Hun xx

@shelleybear0313 hang in there girl you'll find out in a few days 😍

@Bettyhop we are here for you. Thinking of you xxx

@purplestar9 how soon after? I'm only 4dpo today but I feel like something is weird! I'm also quite stressed though and might be noticing things more, but my legs feel almost jelly like?? For no reason at all.
This is going to be a very long week!!

Nice one on the new thread @delilah7, you'll have to tag us all in it when we do get to the max on this one. Do they just cap automatically at 1k?

@Crossfitgirl I think so! I've added you ( and probably forgot some so I'm sorry so if @gjchapman can link it as I don't know how and she's found it 😂 xx

@purplestar I got my positive OPK on cd17, indicating ov on cd18, then got my temp rise cd19, so I'm pretty firmly assuming ov was cd18 xxx

Hi everyone!

I stopped taking my pill 6 weeks ago (microgynon) and Been TTC ever since. I haven’t recognised any signs of ovulation and don’t feel like my period is coming any time soon? Me and my OH are hoping to get a BFP although because I’ve been on the pill for 7 years My cycle is a bit messed up and don’t have an idea of when my period is supposed to arrive so don’t know when to do a test? Any tips would be appreciated I’m new to this and never TTC before so any advice I will be very grateful xx

@ttcat32 @Delilah7 I think I'll be naughty and risk it and test when I get home... DH is anxious for me to test again too! I have a feeling my cycle's going to be silly this month though, so I'm not expecting a BFP either way!

@Crossfitgirl pretty much as soon as I got my BFP but that would have been 15DPO. All down the back of my legs just felt like I had done a big workout (I hadn't), it lasted a few days then eased off.

Having some odd symptoms today.... 8/9dpo, very painful boobs, random cramps and pinching, a tiny bit of brown spotting, and I feel like I’m getting a cold. Going to test with a frer on Thursday, but might try an ic before that if I can’t hold out that long. I just want to know one way or the other, I hate waiting!

@MrsR16 you be naughty then!! Let's us know!!! Xxxx

@Ebonyx welcome, have you kept a calendar or have an app to track?? xx

@stormtrooperjulian brown spotting sounds good surely?!? FX for you darling xxx
