TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

[Delilah7]

New thread ladies ❤️

I'm with @Crossfitgirl tell us @BabySquid your DTD plan!!

I think 9Dpo is still rather early isn't it even though your periods due. Defo take another @Crossfitgirl night just be too early. Have a lovely time and try relax sweetie. You deserve it xxx

@BabySquid yay congratulations!!!!

@Crossfitgirl sorry for your BFN, fx it's just too early. Where you going on holiday?

@BabySquid congrats! That’s great news!

AF has arrived for me so on to cycle 2. Annoyingly DH and I are away on a group holiday over my next fertile week so opportunities to dtd may be scarce cos we’ll be knackered.

Congrats @BabySquid on your BFP 🎉 how are you feeling?
@Crossfitgirl your not out just yet, like the girls have said take another test later. Use the holiday to relax and have fun with dh, it's amazing what a holiday can do! 😘

So @Delilah7 @Crossfitgirl we DTD quite often... every other day or three days, but that's how we are anyway... or at least within the past three months. I think it's important to DTD often anyway and not just in your FW, it brings you closer as a couple and gets his swimmers used to 'regrowing' quicker.

@BabySquid that's good too know.. I don't wanna just DTD in fertile window either. I don't wanna feel I use him 😂😂😂

Congratulations BabySquid that's brilliant!

CrossFitgirl 9dpo is still early especially with those rapid response tests, I understand if you don't want to hold out hope but maybe there is still a small chance that bleeding was ib?

Hope you are both feeling a bit better today CookieWaffle (I loved viewing houses when we moved!) and BambiOnIce80 (hope you jumped your fella last night 😉)

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Found you all!!! Just skimmed through the whole thread and what brilliant news to get at the end! Congratulations @BabySquid

How is everyone else?! So sorry I've not been on this week. Work is totally manic. Only seven months to go till mat leave...

Thanks @babysquid. You know what? I might just suggest to him we do that. I don't have to opk or temp then... And we can relax and just have more sex.

@lougg we go to kos in Greece for a week. Flying around 4pm ish!

Thanks to those saying it's too early @mrsc87 @poodlepip, it could be - I'm bringing a test with me just on the off chance.

@shelly10 @mrsof20118 I have contacted Amazon and they have refunded me for the non-FRERS!

small win for me despite the BFN. Lol.

@stormtrooperjulian onto the next cycle with heads held high and legs open wide!

@delilah7 I meant to tag you in one of those replies lol.
Did you get your positive OPK yet? Xxx

Congratulations BabySquid! :)

@CrystalBlaze how are you finding keeping the news from everyone?? Or have you told some people? DH and I have agreed to tell both set of parents on Halloween. We're thinking matching(ish) skeleton tshirts 😁

@CrystalBlaze we've missed you!!!!! How are you?!?

@Crossfitgirl heads held high legs open wide is hilarious motto. I'm going to live by that 😂😂 no not as of yet. IM CD9 so FLO is saying I've just got into my 'fertile window' as ovulation should be 13th. Keeping an eye on my Cm and ovulation pains (when they arrive). I'll keep doing the OPKS though and will post when I get one I thinks really strong. Xxx

@Delilah I have missed your hilarious mottos! 😂

@BabySquid keeping the news from people is absolutely bloody impossible. Told our parents and DP's brother and planned to just tell a couple of close friends but everyone keeps bloody twigging and guessing. We went out for dinner the other night with a few friends and then I got two separate texts with "not drinking I see" the next day. Maybe I had more of a reputation for loving gin than I thought!

When do you think your due date is?

@CrystalBlaze Flo has calculated it at 22nd May which is a week before my mums birthday. I think May is quite nice tho, not too cold, not too hot. (Although I'm much more of an autumn fan myself!)

@Crossfitgirl 😂😂 great motto!

@BabySquid that's exciting!! Oh my af is Monday to. I'm too scared to test, I feel it's less disappointment if af just comes rather than 1 line.

@Crossfitgirl I hope you have a nice holiday, and I hope your af doesn't come xx

How did your OH react when you told him @BabySquid?

Congratulations @BabySquid!! 🎉💐🎊 That's cheered me up a bit 💖

9dpo is pretty early, even if amazon had sent you the FRER you asked for @Crossfitgirl. Maybe wait until you're at least 12dpo before testing again?

@CookieWaffle house hunting? Exciting! 🤩 Maybe SSP is leaving you alone so that you can fully focus on finding the perfect place 😉

@Delilah7, don't be so hard on yourself lovely. Are you still on the antibiotics or have you finished them? That might mess about with your sex drive and your cycle (but they're totally necessary of course, so make sure you finish them 😉). When I started back on the OPK's, I started using them earlier than necessary, which meant several days of BFN's. I found that really depressed me, which I know is daft, but totally effected my mood - even though, sure enough, I'd get my BFP on CD14 OR 15. I guess what I'm saying is, don't let the OPK's get you down because you're getting BFN's at the moment. Your BFP will be around the corner 😘

So, we've got 2 jetting off abroad, 1 at a wedding (who now can't drink 😂), 1 house hunting... and I'll be spending my weekend sanding and glossing skirting boards 😕 Hope everyone else has something exciting on.x

@crossfitgirl I agree with everyone, 9DPO may just be too early. The bleed you describe doesn’t sound like a typical period. Did you expect your LP to be 8/9 days?
Bon voyage btw, I’m very jealous!

Congratulations babysquid if I get a BFP next week then I would be due on the 22 May too! I’m a little bit scared to test in case it’s a BFN but I’m 10 DPO today so might get a reliable result.

@CrystalBlaze well I really badly needed a wee so couldn't contain it much longer... at 6:10 this morning 🙈 so when I cane back in I whispered are you awake... he sort of grunted, so I said 'it's two lines' and he went sleepily* 'yaaaaay' then sort of went back to sleep haha!! Men! 🤷🏼‍♀️
But now he's more happy about it, but trying not to show it too much as we're seeing all our family and friends today for a wedding and we don't want them thinking anything!

@CrystalBlaze they've been abit quiet recently but they're coming back 😂😂 see that's where I'll be ok as I never drink so no one would know. It'll just be when my tits grow even more massive to what they are!!

@BambiOnIce80 all done with antibiotics and morphine 😂 thank fuck! Makes me say some weird shit hahaha. Just gonna try like you say put too much pressure on me this month but I'll reckon I'll ovulate when I would normally!! I hope so. Our family and myself need abit of a boost! Oh invite me I love painting skirtings!!!! 😍 xxx

@BabySquid my OH would of been the same he loves his sleep too much 😂😂

@gjchapman,totally agree about finding AF rocking up less depressing than a BFN on the FRER.

@Patapouf, I'd leave it to 12dpo if you can face it, but that's just me!

@Crossfitgirl, totally agree with you too. DingTD every 2 or 3 days really takes the pressure off. I don't think we quite realise how much we're stressing ourselves out with all the tracking we embrace. Still don't think you're out this month just yet though 😉

@RanchoRelaxo, I did indeed rock his world last night 😈😂 Tried the proper preseed lube rather than the conceive plus version this time... bit of a faff having to fill the syringes yourself?! I made DP not come out of the bathroom until I'd finished sorting it out! Surely watching your sexy lady filling a syringe with lube and jamming it into her lady garden has got to be an instant mood killer?! Think I'll be going back to the prefilled conceive plus stuff next cycle 🤔

Haha aww @babysquid that's men for you! I was the same, woke up at 5.30 and just had to go and do the test. Good luck with hiding the non drinking at the wedding!
My SIL was early pregnant at our wedding and we thought she drank the whole way through- turns out she was ordering tonics without the gin, and prosecco but not actually drinking it when when she was pretending to sip it!
I'm totally going to have to do that when I do get my BFP as I ALWAYS like a drink, I don't drink much but even if I'm driving I normally do just have one before a meal.

To those asking, yes I my period has come at 9dpo both of my last cycles, I normally have a 8-9 day LP.

@bambionice80 aww sanding and glossing is the worst. We did all that recently to tart our house up to get it sold, it's even more soul destroying when you're not even doing it for yourself! I would put on some loud dancey music and have some snacks and drinks to hand, I can always rely on snacks to make any situation better!! Lol.

Is your OH helping? What else are you decorating? What colours are you going for? Xxx
