TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

[Delilah7]

New thread ladies ❤️

Ooh @BambiOnIce80 I'm CD14!! Yeah I think it's super important not to stress out, easier said than done, but I think it's so easy to forget that it's sex rather than thinking of it as BD 😂 at least you have your rest tonight, and then are ready to go tomorrow 😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter I'm testing Saturday morning. Bit scared tbh I really don't want a false reading as I'm not due till Monday.
However I've been given antibiotics from my dentist so asked her if they're safe to take if I am pregnant and she said best not to, which is one reason I'm testing early, and also coz I'm going to a wedding so want to know if I can drink or not. (However I won't be on these bloody tabs anyway!)

@babysquid it's nerve wracking thinking about getting a false negative isn't it. fingers crossed anyway though. you'll have to like, dehydrate yourself and wait as long as possible to wee when you get up so that your pee is super-concentrated!! lol!

I'm pretty certain AF is on the way, as I've started to get the teeeenyest bit of spotting today, and last month I had 3 days of spotting before AF arrived.
Still got unusually achey boobs though which I've never had, I'm sure nature is doing this to be cruel and confuse me :(

I nearly tested this morning but held back, 7dpo is pretty much zero chance of being accurate!

@Crossfitgirl you can do this... be strong and hold out.

I think my temp chart is looking pretty good... missed a few days but still...

It will literally be TFI Friday for us this weekend @cupcakesandglitter!😂 How many days are your cycles on average? I'm a 28 dayer, but from the OPK's I know that I ov on either CD 15 or 16. The fertility tracker apps just stick a pin in the middle of your cycle and say that's when you ovulate, but in reality you could ov earlier or later. So. Don't stress 🙂 You're still in your window and are far from out.x

@BabySquid I'm going to wait now until Monday

Wow @BabySquid seriously impressed with your BDing on your chart! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@BabySquid temps are looking good. That's a lot of BDing! Make sure you give the sperm time to regrow!

7dpo here too, failing again on not getting worked up and feeling a bit emotional today. Certainly not feeling like anything's happening this month but then I felt that at the same time the previous 2 months... Just feeling like my eggs are getting too old for this

Thank you ladies.
Baby squid I honestly had my hopes up this month. Everything was different. On the plus side I now have made it through my first month of Clomid, I'll be more relaxed this time as I know what to expect. Dh all ready planning naughty hotel stays so it can't be bad! 🙈😂xxx

@CookieWaffle I know it's hard, but try and keep SSP out of your head 😔 7 more days and you'll know for sure 🤞🍀🤞🍀

@CookieWaffle I do keep trying to tell DH that, but as he has MS he had to have his swimmers tested a few years ago, and apparently he's got strong ones... don't know if that makes me feel better or not knowing that this is month 4!!
It's been every other day pretty much so we're not that bad. 🙈

@BabySquid Ahh thats good to know then! :)

@BambiOnIce80 Thanks m'dear, it's like SSP is AF's older and more evil sister, who smells of cabbage.

@BabySquid I suppose a few days isn't too bad, Saturday will come so quick too!! Fx - and well done on that BDing!! xx

@Crossfitgirl you're not out until AF! Xx

@BambiOnIce80 mine were between 30-33 days but this month it messed up and was 23 :( But I'm hoping now this cycle goes back to normal and it was just a blip! It doesn't help that I don't get positive OPKs either, I have no idea when I ov 😂 x

Ooh @shelleybear0313 lucky girl ;) make the most of it!! Xx

I've uploaded my BBT chart so far too - it looks like it's all over the place 😩

@Crossfitgirl my boobs are sore today too, I've logged it in flo and I've attached it below to show you last cycle - i usually get a couple of days but last cycle they were hurting every day!! Sorry if it doesn't help but I swear our bodies do it on purpose! X

@shelleybear0313 maybe next month will be our month 😁

@BabySquid you've been all over it! 🤣 love it!

@cupcakesandglitter, it sounds like you'd benefit from SMEP (if you've got the stamina! I certainly don't! 😂) or trying to DTD every other or couple of days. Less chance of missing the fw, wherever it may be hiding! Don't beat yourself up about missing CD14 when that might not be when you ovulated.

@CookieWaffle 😂🤣😂🤣 I personally picture my inner SSP as a wizened little goblin, possibly green in colour, sleeping on a pile of rags at the back of my mind, snoring and clutching a half-full bottle of JD for the two weeks after AF starts. Then, just as my progesterone levels start picking up in my luteal phase, the first sniff of the tiniest hint of boob tenderness wakes her from her slumber and then the crazy really kicks in!! 🤪

@BambiOnIce80 that was DH's plan!! We've been super busy 😩 I'm going to try and make a proper go of it xx

Thank you so much ladies, having somewhere to vent makes it all easier to bare! R16 this has to be our month. Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all. Be lovely to see some bfp! 💖💖💖

Life does have a way of messing with our best laid plans, doesn't it @cupcakesandglitter?! Please try not to beat yourself up about it though. The pressure won't help.x

@BambiOnIce80 🤣 I'm actually quite jealous of that goblin for the first 2 weeks 🍾😴. Mines definitely an old lady with a stick who stands there watching me until I randomly get poked in the ovaries as she shouts "Hah! Made you look!". 💥➖🤛👵

(I tried to be on your level with the emojis there!)

I may be asking a stupid question here but what is SSP?
Euh spotting is getting darker. It's AF. I know it.
😭😭😭

@cupcakesandglitter that's pretty much exactly how mine have been! Every day since ovulation. I had a glimmer of hope after my meltdown when DH kept turning down sex in my fertile week, and it was just my body being MEAN and tricking me into thinking there was still a chance!
Stupid boobs.

@Crossfitgirl she's the inner Symptom Spotting Psycho 😂

@babysquid that has just made my day!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
