TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

[Delilah7]

New thread ladies ❤️

@babysquid congratulations! Wonderful news xx

😂😂 ValidUser good stock piling

My kitchen is shit and I don't have any frers, but I do have a nice icy glass of gin which tastes lush 😀 have tried to upload a pic to show you lot how lovely it looks but it won't upload 🙄 haha

@ValidUser I'm with the others, you have my respect too 😂 you need a bloody award for patience!!

@Delilah7 ooh yes it does help! It's just so bleeding expensive 😩😩 I need an endless pot of money to do everything I want to the house. Just seems like one job after the other!

I had my darkest OPK earlier (pretty much matches the control) BUT I've just done another and it's sooooo much fainter 😭 what does this mean? (Planning on pouncing on DH when he walks through the door)

@RanchoRelaxo you win 😂 enjoy my darling!! Have one for me too x 🍷

I’m obsessed with that shade of green bambi I’m looking for a sofa that colour at the moment, I figure I’ll need an upgrade when I’ll be spending so much time on it during future mat leave

Thanks cupcakes 😀 and as for the opk, how long apart did you test? Apparently the surge can sometimes only last for a few hours so quite possible you missed it, especially if the one from earlier was almost positive anyway! I would judge it as positive today and get baby making 😁🍆

@RanchoRelaxo I tested around 5pm I think, and then whatever time I posted when my last message was 😅 a few hours - but if this one is faint and I've missed the surge, am I still in with a chance? I'm planning on it don't worry 😈😈 x

In with a chance how? I think opk results are a bit dodgy sometimes, can vary on stuff like how concentrated your wee is, ive had months where I haven't got a true 'positive' and like you just had almost positives. If I were in your shoes I would test again tomorrow, and if the lines really faint still, take today as the positive and presume that you just missed the surge in the few hours that you didn't test, and prepare for ovulation to happen within a day or two 😊

Okay, I will do ☺️ thanks @RanchoRelaxo x

Ooh @BabySquid congrats!! Very exciting! xx

House hunting was interesting. Everywhere in our price range is gonna need some work, which is great but I'm just watching the money drain away...

SSP woke up again today and as my shoulder has been a little sore today it has convinced me I'm having an ectopic. I'm sure it'll find something else to focus on tomorrow.

If anyones into Reddit there's a trying for a baby subreddit with a weekly bfp thread. I like to read these for the symptom spotters. What's funny about this weeks is that most of the ladies who got their bfps this week had no symptoms at all. Thought that might reassure any of you who worry you're out this month!

WAHHHH! Congratulations @BabySquid That's the best news!!

Omg I love the kitchen porn @BambiOnIce80 @Crossfitgirl @Delilah7
How are your kitchens SO tidy!? They look like model homes!
Slightly tempted to post mine but even at its tidiest it looks like a dump compared to yours!

@flapjackered don't be fooled. This was when we were having photos and viewings for selling it. I only took a pic because it's never looked so tidy before!!! Haha xxx

Got a static face/peak reading on my test this morning... going walking in a bit with the family, but will have to get the 'fancy frillies' (as my dh calls them!) out for when we get home to entice him into dtd again :)
FlapJackered, don't worry, I'm sure your kitchen is tidier than mine! My mum does a slight eye roll every time she visits! You can actually see her mentally re-organising everything for order! Xx

@FivexFive go girl!!! Get your DTD on! I'm waiting for my positive OPK xx

@FlapJackered we have changed a few things since I took those pics, only like the kettle etc etc but it does get messy. We have too many cupboards and not enough stuff to put in them. Bring this baby on world! Hahaha xx

@Delilah7 I have the opposite problem, too much stuff and not enough cupboards! We only moved in a few months ago, having a tiny kitchen is driving me crazy. Can’t wait for the building work to start!

Hi everyone,

So after a possible missed chemical last month I’ve just had these. I think I can see the faintest hint of a line on both, both are fmu and came up in the 5 min window. Am I seeing things or could this be the start of a bfp?

I’m 11dpo and period is due on wednesday.

It’s a real squintier so might just be in my head, and there’s not much colour.

P.S. I’m very jealous of all the beautiful kitchens! We’ve been debating whether to ours since we moved in and it really needs it!

Hi girls, so after a small bleed which I thought was AF coming early, 3 days of spotting and nearly 2 weeks of sore boobs, actual proper AF has finally showed her face on day 1 of our holiday, just as DH was starting to get lovey dovey and feeling me up to get on it like a car bonnet.

Well Fuck you mother nature! I'm now enjoying my rum and coke completely guilt free, in the knowledge he does not in fact have super sperm that can last from 4 days per ovulation, and I am abandoning baby thoughts and house thoughts until a week today.

(Although there are a few cute babies here in Kos with their mummies making me feel sooooo broody it is untrue)

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and @dimblebimble sorry I can't see a line however I am squinting in the sun and i have had rum so I don't think you can rely on me! Are you new to the group?

Oh wow CrossFitgirl that looks lovely, I'm very jealous. What better place to forget about AF than beside a pool in the sun with a drink in your hand! Have a fantastic week 😀🍹🍺

@Dimblebimble I can see a faint line but I don't trust those tests, best try a frer if possible

@crossfirgirl, yes I just joined a couple of pages ago but we’ve been trying for around 7 months.

@ranchorelaxo I bought the internet cheapies for the first time this month to avoid wasting money on the expensive tests 😖 I now feel like taking a frer and I have one in the house but it won’t be fmu now, so maybe best to wait and see if it’s darker on the ics tomorrow 🤔

I've bought some internet cheapys for the same reason @Dimblebimble but have seen quite a few posts recently of people getting lines like you have and then finding out they were false 👎 but then there's every chance that your line is real! Will keep my fingers crossed for the frer in the morning

Sorry @Dimblebimble read your post wrong, thought you said you would use your frer in the morning, will keep my fingers crossed for a darker line 😊 (I would defo not be able to resist the frer in the morning though haha)

@Crossfitgirl please relax darling you really deserve to, so have that RUM, GIN, whatever you fancy! Eat what you like and enjoy yourself. I'm sorry AFs turned up, I'm already sure I'll be joining you next month even though ovulation hasn't even occurred 😂😂 love to you xxx

@Crossfitgirl, are you sure you wouldn't rather be glossing skirting boards than sitting poolside in the beautiful sunshine supping rum and coke?! No??!! 😂 Sorry AF turned up, but at least you can chill, drink and enjoy a relaxing holiday now 🍹☀

@Dimblebimble I had to really, really squint and can maybe see what I'd normally think could be an evap line. 11dpo is way too early and there's a high chance of false BFN's. Maybe wait until 13dpo and get a FRER with a high sensitivity (10IU/ml). Looks hopeful though🤞🍀

@CookieWaffle, you're putting my SSP to shame!! 😂 Is a sore shoulder really a thing for ectopic pregnancies?! Are you going to put an offer in on any of the places you saw yesterday?

I woke up in a foul mood this morning 😒 DP has realised and hastily stopped titting around on computer games and started painting the en suite (his designated task for today 🎨). Had another vivid BFP FRER dream last night (had one last cycle too). Dream me was like "but I'm in my fertile week - that can't be right 🤔" 😂 Really deep purple control line again with a pink test line this time - what's with the deep purple lines?!

Oh wow @Crossfitgirl I mean, that's going to the extreme to treat yourself on CD1, by the pool in Kos with a rum and coke! Enjoy yourself! I'm due AF in 4 days, I wonder if there's any cheap flights going this week.

@Dimblebimble I can see something faint but I wouldn't like to judge what it is just yet. Hopefully you'll know for sure in a few days.
