TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

[Delilah7]

New thread ladies ❤️

@Crossfitgirl I just feel this month I'm going to be early... don't know why. Awww 😂😂 men always thinking of the money! Xx

@BambiOnIce80 missed you!! Okay that's cool. I just feel it's going to be early lol.... just wanted to get back on that horse. Lost all sex drive this month :( xx

@cupcakesandglitter that's cool to know that I'm not the only one. Wanting one to just show up! Xx

@stormtrooperjulian ok lovely I'll keep that in mind! Xx

@cupcakesandglitter aww that horrible AF! We should be on the 2WW around the same time at least 😁 I'm only 2 days ahead of you xx

Oops, sorry @cupcakesandglitter I meant @Crossfitgirl 😂

@FlapJackered, that is some super efficient OPKing regime you've got yourself there! You're not a scientist, are you?! 😄

And apologies for the provocation of tea snorting- I hope it wasn't hot 😯 I can't take the credit for the goblin 🙄 I've been watching an American comedienne on Netflix called Iliza who put the seed in my head with her party goblin. Has anyone watched her sets? She's side splittingly hilarious 😂 Even DP cries laughing! She's getting married this year I think, so I can't wait to hear her thoughts on TTC 😄

Thanks everyone, I’m not really feeling like this is my month for some reason. I’m trying to stay calm and distract myself because I can’t cope with feeling so awful when AF arrives. I felt truly dreadful last month and it’s too much of an emotional rollercoaster, especially if it’s going to take a while to actually conceive.

Sorry AF has arrived crossfit, I hope you have a lovely relaxing boozy trip!

@BambiOnIce80 I am definitely over obsessed with opks! 😂 it is because my cycles are so darn irregular if I don't catch a positive opk I haven't got a clue where I am. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Love a good Netflix rec. will check her out tonight!

@Delilah7, right then lovely - let's get you a plan formulated 🤓 It's your first time on the OPK's and I don't want you getting any more stressed out than you already have been - it won't be helping your sex drive at all.

Let's say go nuts and test every day this cycle, so you can get used to them and find out where your ovulation date is hiding. Hopefully there'll be a lovely BFP for you at then end of this cycle so you won't need a plan for next month, but if you do need them next month then only use them from a couple of days before when this months data says you ovulated. It'll hopefully tell you exactly the same day as this cycle. Should there be a cycle after that (I don't think there will be for you at all though) then promise me you'll bin the little buggers?! I don't want you ending up like me and driving yourself nuts and piling even more stress on yourself when you've already found out when you normally ovulate.

Most importantly - feel free to tell me to shove the plan 😉 Science geek can get a bit carried away sometimes 😕

ooh i'm gonna check her out on netflix too!
@bambionice80 very sound advice for @delilah7
@flapjackered I did them 3 times a day last cycle too, but I did them mid morning, then early afternoon, then evening.
On with some paperwork for the solicitors for our house now, so I'll check out till tomorrow :)
fx for those others that were going to test on Saturday with me, here's hoping AF stays well a way for you both!

Not that anyone else isn't amazing on here because you all are but @BambiOnIce80 you just made me cry. ( in a good way )

No one not even my friends have done that and written me a message like that. Felt so heartfelt. I really really appreciate it and I won't tell you to shove it as I think it's a brilliant idea darling. So wish I could meet you all or have you on Facebook or something. Just be so nice to know you all as YOU not as my Mumsnet BFFS!

Xxx

Evening ladies, has a stressful day today at work so just checking in!
5dpo and nothing to report other than going to bed at 8.30pm last night and sleeping all the way through! Funny taste gone!
How are you all ladies? x

Ladies I've just done another OPK.. could I have your opinions please? Top one is yesterday, second is lunchtime and third one was just. Sorry it's so blurry but the bottom is the strongest line I've ever got - am I/about to ovulate? I'm going out for dinner but plan on testing when I'm come back too x

@Delilah7 I'm so glad you know you have support on here too ❤️ it's so nice to have supportive ladies, I don't have this kind of support IRL either xx

@MrsC87 how are you? X

I think it'll be darker tomorrow, so maybe test in the morning @cupcakesandglitter but it's definitely on its way to being positive.

I'm good thanks, had a stressful day but now relaxed after a nice bath.
Only 1 more week until AF is due so trying to keep busy!

@cupcakesandglitter I think it needs to be as dark or darker than the control line? I got a very faint line today so plan to test a few times a day over the next few days.

Has anyone else tried ovaview ovulation tests or pregnancy tests from Amazon?

@Crossfitgirl you can relax on holiday not waiting for AF to show and enjoy a few cocktails and who knows what might happen

@MrsC87 ooh niiiice, definitely put your feet up and relax!! A week will have flown by before you know it x

@mrsof20118 I'm going to do another this evening, and then three times tomorrow too - and I've not tried ovaview sorry x

Someone stop me poasing!! I know there is literally next to no chance but I have such an urge! X

@Bettyhop when are you due sweetie?

Not until 13th🙈 although that's only a guess as miscarried on 19.8.18 cycles usually 25 days but not sure how that will affect things. Boobies very very sore and feel like they are popping out of my bra😋

Awww @Delilah7 honey! 💖 You made me well up! 🤗 Thought I was being a bit too bossy, but I hope a rough plan will help keep your eye on the prize. I really wasn't doing well with all the disappointment stress last month (thus the few days of radio silence 🙄) and it was all because I got too obsessed with doing everything right. You've been through so much - I really don't want you to go down the TTC 🦇💩🤪 rabbit hole too.x

@FlapJackered and @Crossfitgirl, please let me know what you think of Iliza! I'd probably recommend her "freezing hot" show first, followed by "War paint" and then the one that has "Xennials" or something in the title. It's like her journey from dating to getting married - I haven't laughed so hard in ages 😄

Disclaimer: I recommended the new "Queer Eye" to one of my besties and she 🤬ing hated it 🙄 Each to their own 😉

@BambiOnIce80 I loooooooove queer eye!!!!

Hello gals. I have been sneakily reading and absorbing all your positive fertility vibes (31, cd9)

I have same problems of a tired husband as you @Crossfitgirl makes me feel like a nutter tracking my ovulation when he can't even pop his beans in at the right time (and sometimes right place) 🙈. More I want to talk about it the more touchy he gets about being too clinical and planned. Annoying!

Also super short LP, nuisance!

And @BambiOnIce80 how can one hate queer eye it is amazing!

@poodlepip let me know if you have any breakthrough with him, mine is the same and I feel like i don't want to bring it up again either as I think it will just put him off!

This iliza sounds amazing! I think it's a download for the plane on Saturday! Xxx

@Crossfitgirl Christ knows I'm erring toward keeping him as much away from the technical fertility bits as poss.
I've even bought an...outfit for the most fertile day to whip out will let you know if any success 🤣

@cupcakesandglitter and @poodlepip I know, right??!! She watched the first episode with the red neck margarita guy (incidentally; mountain dew + tequila = fricking trashy genius!!🍸🍸) and she thought it was "fake, crap and cheesey" 🤨 She reiterated this to another friend who advised her that she must have a "cold, dead soul" 🤣😂🤣😂
