TTC First Baby Massive Thread.

[Delilah7]

Hope all my lovely ladies have found this group can't tag you all as there is too many!! ❤️

@LilMrsSunshine the last digital OPK I bought was faulty. It never showed a result other than low while internet cheapies were clearly positive. I used new sticks from the broken reader kit with one of my old digital readers (same pee sample) and it was a solid smiley. Maybe it's the case with you too. I can definitely see positive in your photo.

@FlapJackered what was your TSH level and how fast did it get to norm after you started taking the medicine? My next test is in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping it's under 2!

@KatBeCool it was 4.96 on my first test and they were mean about giving medication as I was borderline so tested me again 2 weeks later and it was 7.6 and then it went down to 2 point something within 1 month and now 4 months later is 1.7. What is your level again? Have they put you on levothyroXine now?

Someone kill me! 14dpo - af is 2 days late and temp is still up but negative frers! Where is af!! 😩

@FlapJackered they did, I started last week! The Dr said that since I'm TTC I should for sure start taking it and they won't wait until I retest. The first test last month was 4.8. Dr even said that if it's not under 2 by the next test, she'll increase the dose. When's your AF due again? I thought it was the 26th?

@FlapJackered I guess you just answered my question about your AF while I was typing it. Maybe wait a few more days to test again? If the temp is up, maybe you'll get your bfp still. I've seen plenty on 15-16 DPO.

@KatBeCool it was due the 25th/26th I have mostly had a 12day luteal phase but one cycle was 13 days. Never longer though. So I suppose it will probably turn up tomorrow. So frustrating.

Are you on 50mg? I would have thought that would do the job as your tsh is only a little bit high like mine.

@rj995 welcome lovely. Was it due to coming off contraceptive or? Xx

@MrsR16 see they can be nice when it matters can't they hahaha xx

@FlapJackered I'm on 25mg. Dr insisted I take the brand name so that the dosage is more accurate, she said generic brands can be off by up to 20% in either direction.

@KatBeCool did you get your medical exemption certificate? We hypothyroids get free prescriptions which is a nice perk! Just ask the doc next time you see them, if you haven't already.

Just to clarify re generics (and I know I'm pedantic), each company's dose could be off, but it's consistently off.

Regulations allow up to 20% discrepancy in dose, but if the manufacturers don't change things (and they don't tend to) it's consistent.

As such, problems can come from switching between brands, but not from using one rather than another.

And on a less pedantic note, I've gone from low to peak fertility. Funny that!

Morning Ladies, can’t seem to upload pictures but got my BFP yesterday after work. Hope to stick around and see all you ladies get your BFP’s too! :D x

@Malichick congrats lovely!!! xxx

@Malichick that's wonderful. ❤️

@Dosmamas sorry about AF. 🍷

@rj995 welcome!

@Delilah7 taking a FRER or has AF got you? X

@ValidUser waiting for AF tbh... don't wanna waste my money as I'm sure she'll show! Zz

I hear you!

Just had the quickest quickie ever! I'm still on leave but DH called into work, so time was of the essence. 😂

@Malichick congratulations!!! That's amazing news!

@ValidUser 😂😂😂😂 go girl!! Xx

@Malichick congratulations wishing you a sticky bean🤞🏻🤞🏻

@malichick aww congratulations! Aww shame you can't post a pic I love seeing BFPs. So much hope!

@validuser go on!!!! Haha

Well I'm 3dpo and I feel sick so clearly I am pregnant. 🤪

Also @flapjackered high temp still is promising! I can tell you're trying not to get your hopes up. All my fingers and toes crossed.

I think I'm gonna make a docs appointment. I just need to decide whether to stretch the truth a bit about how long I've been trying or not... hoping that my PCOS and family Hx of fibroids and endo will make them do at least some hormone levels and stuff.

@Delilah7 strangely not, I have been off contraception since the end of last year but my cycles have varied between 30-34 days but this month it dragged on. I don't know if it's due to taking new pre-contraception vitamins? Has anyone experienced a chance in their cycle with them?

@Malichick Congrats!! What amazing news

@Malichick congratulations!! Fantastic news!! 🎉🥂

@Crossfitgirl - there is a little hope but It's irrational hope as at 14dpo if a bfp was coming it would show up on a frer. I think af is just biding her time. Feel a bit better about it today but just wish af would show up now as I am sleeping really badly with all the 'what ifs' going around in my head!
As you know I did tell a white lie to the docs and got tested, it's only a couple of blood tests which is not a massive deal for them. It is reassuring to know where you stand too.

@rj995 me! I had to stop taking them as they messed my cycle up! x

@rj995 some people do say it messes up their cycle! Xx
