TTC First Baby Mega Mega Thread!

[Delilah7]

New thread ladies ❤️

@FlapJackered I feel you!! I was planning on doing some light boxing this morning... but bed wouldn't let me leave 😂

@FlapJackered no problem my darling! It's because we have too much fun! I am too hung. This period is lightening up so... could be soon! Xx

@Lougg honestly can't deal with them! Xx

I'm due weekend of 15th/16th and it's hubbys birthday on the 16th- I'd just love to get a BFP for his birthday! @Lougg

Thanks for adding me @Delilah7. I keep checking every day to see if we have any new BFP's 🤞🏻🍀

Thanks for the new thread @Delilah7 🙂 How're you doing lovely? I've been taking a few days off from obsessing, so I'm a bit behind with what's been going on with the thread! How was the doctors appointment on Friday?x

@MrsReader just want to start trying again now I'm bored!!

@BambiOnIce80 probably a good idea hun, I couldn't forget about you! It went INSANE. I got rushed to a and via blue light ambulance. My period came and I was in so much pain. They thought maybe some of the baby was left and that was making it difficult. Turned out my pancreas is inflamed and white blood cells are high which would normally mean PREGNANCY. :( but I'm not so that sucks :( want to hurry up and try again xx

Aww you've had a horrid time of it @Delilah7 ☹️ did dr say you're ok to try again or do you have to wait a while?

Holy actual f😮k @Delilah7*! 😨 I really picked a crap time to take a break from the thread, didn't I?! So sorry you had to go through that! The high white cell count is a good indicator of infection, which ties in with your pancreas being inflamed (I test blood and interpret the results for a living, so apologies if I go white-coated nerd on you 🤓). No wonder you were throwing up! How are you feeling now? Is the infection under control?

@MrsReader spoke to my doctor today and I'm ok to try again as long as bleeding stops in the normal amount of time which it is meant to!

@BambiOnIce80 😂😂 ooooh be a geek! They need me to test them again to make sure it's decreasing or whether it's staying the same as they aren't actually sure I have one! I don't drink so the pancreas is abit strange 😂 my dad also had some bad news about his heart, he had a heart monitor on and it spiked so much they said they were surprised his heart didn't stop and not start again due to his low rhythm he has! He's on beta blockers now so :( waiting for his MRI. I get bored of all the negativity. Gimme a baby for some positivity in my life 😍 x

@BambiOnIce80 I'm ok. Wanting to start trying but waiting this period to finish!! You ok?! Xx

You've been through so much in the last 6 weeks @Delilah7 that you have to be run down and that'll leave you wide open to an infection. It's good that the docs are keeping an eye on you and re-testing to make sure your results are going back to normal 👍

I'm alright thanks 🙂 Had my acupuncture appointment (2 now, actually) and he gave me a bit to ponder over 🤔 You all know how I feel about the whole "just try and relax and it'll happen" shtick, but the acupuncturist made some good points about the OPK's and the pressure I'm putting on my body. I know from the OPK's that I ovulate on CD15 or 16, so why bother using them and making the process more clinical? He did say "please don't punch me in the face" when he suggested throwing the OPK's away 😂

So, I'm not going to bother testing this month (😱😉), DTD in my fertile window, stick with the fertility lube and hope for the best. I must admit I do feel a lot better for giving my mind a little break from the TTC obsessing. I don't think for a second it'll help me get pregnant, but it's nice not to feel as stressed 🙂

@BambiOnIce80 I fully agree with the acupuncturist, I don't see the point in OPKs unless you've been trying a hella long time! (Sorry but I just don't!) it's added stress on your body which we just don't need as ttc is tough enough as it is!
Speaking of... £7 odd for one single frer!!! I feel robbed 🙎🏼‍♀️ it better give me the result I want haha

@BambiOnIce80 I know but I hate continuing to be negative. I don't like dwelling!

He's got a good point. Bare in mind I only got pregnant from an app, EWCM and ovulation pains. However I think I might test after this period due to the MC might mess me up abit so might just do them this month, think that's a good idea??

Aww, yes have a rest every now and then. We deserve it. Our brains go through lots!!! Xx

@BabySquid sorry to butt in! Did you have a look on amazon I got a pack of 4 for less than £10 😉

@ttcat32 no I didn't bother. I have one standard one from Tesco from a couple months ago, but just needed one to test with this Saturday as it's 2 days early (I'd never normally test early).

I'm of the mindset that I only buy them when I need them, and only use them after 3/4 days late, and have only used one a month when needed.

@BabySquid @ttcat32 think I'm going to do that now, only buy them when I'm a few days late! Best way x

@ttcat32 @Delilah7 Definite BFN for me! Looks like I'm just going to have a long cycle! 🙁

Hi everyone! Thanks for including me in the new thread :) I am still here, just trying to not be as obsessive this month so arnt really looking at the conception boards as much :) sending everyone loads of love x

I have bought the LH strips on ebay and they seemed to work but I have pcos so LH was showing a faint 2nd line in the lead up to the surge, not sure if any one else gets that? No luck cycle 1. Will be trying accupuncture for pcos this month.

So in terms of testing, do people wait until Af is missed or test on day Af is due?
I'm on cd17 which is 2dpo which is still early on in the 2ww, but should I experience any symptoms if I am pregnant before AF is due? Can you feel pregnant within the 2ww? Or will symptoms occur once you get a BFP?

I've been reading on google all about implantation and sending myself crazy!
Getting a little worried I'm only on cycle 2 and feel a little obsessive, when I know it's normal to take up to a year.

@MrsC87 you're not out till AF shows Hun!!

@RanchoRelaxo no problem hun, lots of love to you xx

@MrsC87 only symptoms I had was tightness when pulling jeans on and no cramps before AF was due... waited 2 day's after period and got a pregnant on test!

@Delilah7, I totally understand why you'd want to check when you're ovulating this cycle, so go for it 👍

@BabySquid I have indeed been trying for a helluva long time (4 years accumulatively with a 5 year break), so I think I ended up reaching for the OPK's just to see if I was still ovulating! 😂 The answer was yes, but then I kept flipping going at them 🙄 Having someone questioning "why?" was surprisingly helpful 🤔

@BambiOnIce80 I have this feeling I might ovulate a few days earlier so gonna stay on CD8 I think - which is on Friday! X

@BabySquid I'm impressed by your discipline, I'm still doing them every few days just to check 😂😂😂😂 @Delilah7 we'll see how long you last when we start pestering you!!

@MrsR16 oh no! But maybe because not FMU? You're still in!

@MrsC87 I had nothing right up till 9dpo then had horrible stomach cramps and a really stiff neck for a day a half then tested and got bfp

@ttcat32 I need to keep myself off POASing as I'm gonna drive myself loopy again! X
