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!

@ChaosMoon absolutely, hope you feel a bit more human soon!! X

@purplestar9 I'm one day behind you! 11dpo AF due Wednesday, sitting on my hands not to test!

Welcome @mrsof20118 and everyone else!

X

@Malichick only 3 days to wait until there's pretty much a 50/50 chance!

@MrsC87 good! Keep up the energy! I'm good thank you, just waiting out the next few days to see if AF arrives on time, this 2ww doesn't feel like it's been too bad, just gotta keep myself busy now!

Welcome @mrsof20118 👋🏻

@ttcat32 we can do it!! I have to wait till at least Wednesday to test if AF hasn't arrived because I got DH to hide the tests!! Haha. I could probably find them if I REALLY wanted to but I'm trying to be good so I'm resisting the urge!

Wow so many of us in the same boat - great to hear everyone’s position and news.

@cupcakesandglitter I have just poured a massive glass of a lovely white wine and I am enjoying it so much. I hardly drank in my TWW - kept feeling worried or guilty even though I don’t think it would really affect anything so soon. So this is the (small) upside of AF arriving.

I had some gin tonight too ladies and tomorrow 😈

@PinguPengo yep! Gave it a miss during tww, and enjoying now.

Check you out @Delilah7! 😃 I hope you're enjoying it 🍸🥂

@MrsR16 yes the wait is awful. I have been lucky with work being stressful the last week or so meaning I haven’t had chance to obsess whilst there but I make up for it at home

@Malichick I was planning on testing after 2nd but then I saw group on had a deal on early tests and ordered a load! Not sure I will be able to wait! When are you going to test?

@BambiOnIce80 just trying to put this month out of my head as I'm sure I'm out! Hope you're ok.

Sorry I've been AWOL been at my mum and dad's 39th anniversary dinner!

Hi new people. Hope you've all had an ok TTCing journey or looking forward to starting 😘😘

Wow this is a busy thread 😂 hi everyone, am sure I will get to grips with new names as the thread goes on 😊 well my period hasn't started yet (I had cramps and usual pre AF symptoms Friday so was sure I was out) although I am only 8dpo, some months af starts at 9dpo so am still not holding out much hope.. feel like I need keep going to the loo to check cause i constantly feel like it's starting 😂

Am actually impressed I haven't poas yet this month! That's a new record for me 😁

Hey people

I’m 29
TTC #1
Cycle 8

Trying to be optimistic... i think this month is the month haha 🤞

I'm impressed with your willpower @RanchoRelaxo! 🙂 I'm hoping AF stays away for you🤞

Thanks Bambi enjoy your gin! And everyone else having a drink tonight 🍺

OMG this is already massive! Thanks for the add @Crossfitgirl and replying to your past post on the last thread 😂 they usual take houses off Rightmove when the estate agent has seen your mortgage approval paperwork stuff - good luck 🤞🏼
Think most of you know me but if not:
Age 30
Married
TTC #1
Cycle 4
On CD32 - I have really long cycles ranging from 29 to 40 days
I'm 90% certain I'm out as PMS is here with a vengeance: boobs really hurt, bad cramps and thought I was going to physically attack husband this morning when I discovered that he'd drunkenly polished off all of my fave breakfast cereal last night - M&S chocolate crunch is my PMS comfort food 😭

@Delilah7 @BambiOnIce80 @PinguPengo @ValidUser bottoms up girls, I'm rewarding myself tonight 😂 (frantically Googles if alcohol helps with AF pains) enjoy!! Here's to the next cycle 🥂 xx

I’m on honeymoon at the moment and have been having a few drinks each night 😬 no idea when I ovulated this month flo app was soo wrong 🤪
Had the clear blue ovulation tests and must of missed it! So need to test every day.
What tests do you ladies recommend? X

@Kileah18 sorry, I have no positive experience with OPKs! But are you temping? X

So I've just tried to have a glass, and it's made me have heart burn? Never had this before, only had a couple of sips but it's just not agreeing with me. Not even going to attempt the gin 😂 hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday! XX

Catching up on the night shift 😴 thank you for making this new thread!
Ttc baby number 1
4th cycle
Miscarriage on cycle 3
Age 23
Would tell you where I am in my cycle but...who knows! Finished bleeding from the mc on Friday, but not sure where that puts me in a cycle. Just going to try and focus on getting back to health this month I think and ttc properly after my next period.
Hope everyone is okay👭❤

@delilah7 I feel our stories are so similar atm. I think I'm about 2 weeks behind you with the mc so going by what you've said about your cycle returning so quickly I'm hoping mine go the same way. How long did it take you to ovulate after you finished bleeding? 🤞 for you girl xxx

@bettyhop I am on a night shift as well the joys lol. That's what we did after our miscarriage.

So I'm currently sat on the loo, waiting for my OPK to work whilst catching up on all these posts!

It's so great to see all these different stages of the journey and it's really made me smile how everyone is embracing the crazy! From cycle 1 to cycle 8+, from acupuncture to AF comfort food, gin, seabiscuits, syringes, honeymoons, wedding anniversaries, and of course although sad, it is nice to see those of you after MC coming back strong and trying again.

I had plenty gin last night and I got back too late to DTD so feeling a little sad and guilty, but flashing smiley has come back today so I'll see how I feel later. I didn't intend to drink a lot but... I did 😥 hopefully it won't impact too much on my ttc!

I've started temping this month, which I'm finding stressful but along with the OPKs I want the reassurance I'm ovulating as I have PCOS. Does anyone else?

I really like the ideas of reading, acupuncture, and relaxing. There's been lots of talk of meditation/ mindfulness on the other thread which I have yet to implement, but I am going to try and do some fertility yoga this week as I have been sooooo stressed. Anybody seen yoga yin on YouTube?

@kileah18 I would recommend testing at least twice a day, I only got my positive test later in the day last month and it disappeared after a few hours.

Ps, I think it's safe to say, my posts always seem to be essays!!!! Apologies in advance 😂😂

@Bettyhop by my EWCM and ovulation pains exactly same as normal which was about a week or so after my bleeding finished xxx
