TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

Hope all my lovely ladies have found it again. Thread no.5. Best mumsnet group ever 😍😍😍

@cupcakesandglitter don't apologise! We all have our low moments and everyone needs to let it all out at some point or other. Yes give them a ring Monday and book yourself in.

@Dosmamas - so I have blood sugar/insulin issues so I take a multi-vitamin that helps control blood sugar, folic acid, fish oil, vitamin e, Ubiquinol (coenzyme q10), magnesium, maca root powder, vitamin d3, probiotic, vitamin c and inositol 😳
I would say the most important is a good pre-natal vitamin, CoQ10, extra folic acid and vit D....and the fish oil unless you eat lots of fish.

Thankyou @sunshine1987 @FlapJackered ❤️ xx

Congrats to the positives for @gdog35 and @malichick and hope all you other ladies are doing ok.xx

Hi guysssss!

Symptom spotting at 3dpo: twinging pain on my ovary. Same as last month. And boobs wierdly sore again!

@cupcakesandglitter chin up, stay positive, it could be your month you just don't know yet, none of you are out til you're out! I would just go to docs and get an answer. How late are you?

@flapjackered loving the supplement queen. @dosmamas I just take boots conception support. It's got folic acid which is the main thing and a few others in it.

@delilah7 see what you think of the clearblue, I've decided after next cycle I'm stopping using them and sticking with ICs as I don't think they are sensitive enough and I need to test 3 times a day so CB would bankrupt me!

Smiley sticks is a wonderful name!

@FlapJackered thanks for all those I'll have a little read up on them 😊

@Crossfitgirl I should've been on by Monday I think (CD32). Flo is logging me as officially a day late today? Which I don't understand 😩 the last time my cycle was this long was when I had the implant out and my cycles were all over the place xx

@cupcakesandglitter I think if you are up to 5 days late it can still be classed as a normal variation in your cycle. 5 days and above is classed as "late". Tomorrow would be 5 days if you were due Monday right? Do you know how many dpo you are? I have a feeling you don't track ov do you? Or do you? Lol sorry xxz

@cupcakesandglitter also any other symptoms? AF has only ever done the opposite for me and everytime I had a feeling I was pg, she came early!! Can't imagine how frustrating it is her being late esp by so many days and esp as it's not normal for you.

Maybe it's just too early or maybe you're one of those that tests don't show up on.
Stress can sometimes make you late, or other stuff anything unusual happen this month?

@Crossfitgirl I'm 18dpo Hun - I've got backache, vomit has come up a few times, I've broken out (I usually have a few on my chin but this is all over), more hormonal than usual, boobs seem bigger, I've had cramping and ovary twitching, and today was the metallic taste in my mouth xx

@Crossfitgirl and no other stress 😩 I've really tried to take it easy this month and not think about it too much. I was doing fine until AF didn't turn up 😩 my average cycle is 29 days according to Flo which would make me 6 days late. I've also worn a pad for the last six days as I could've sworn AF was here. Even told DH I was out - but never turned up

@cupcakesandglitter omg. That is loads of signs. I'd be going to the docs literally first thing in the morning for a blood test!
Surely you must be. Surely?!!!

@cupcakesandglitter oh hun, don't apologize and don't worry, just because you didn't test doesn't mean anything has changed in your body. If you're pregnant, then you're pregnant, test or not. Usually you wait to be late at least two weeks before you schedule a dr appointment or even begin to worry. Don't panic. Everything is OK, you shouldn't have any concerns this early. Fingers crossed for you!

@Crossfitgirl @KatBeCool that's how I feel :( I can't stop crying today. I don't want to convince myself I'm pg and then I end up just having irregular cycles but I feel like I could be and it's really hard. Kat how long do you think I should wait? I suffer with anxiety anyway so this is pushing me through the roof, I can't deal with not knowing what's going on and the thought of my cycles messing up again is making me so upset. I've waited so long to be able to FINALLY be in the position to even start trying and now it's like my body is playing tricks on me

Oh no I hope that wasn't taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to be concerned / panic, I just meant I would just be too impatient and wanting to find out! @katbecool is right though, if you are pregnant then you still will be in another week. I am keeping everything crossed for You! (And for the other two of you still in limbo!)

@Crossfitgirl I didn't take it that way don't worry, I get what you're saying. That's why I'm so wth about what's going on because all the signs point to me being pg too 😩 x

@cupcakesandglitter do what you need to do to stop worrying. If reassurance from the docs is what you need then go, the last thing you need is to feel like this for longer than you have to. They may not be able to tell you anything different until they have done tests etc but at least they can rule out anything else and discuss what's normal etc and when you should / shoudlnt be concerned?
Will you have to wait another week if you don't go tomorrow or Monday?

@Crossfitgirl DH looked up my symptoms with the NHS symptom checker thing and it's advised me to call 111 - going to call them now.. yeah either Monday/Friday, won't get a chance for another week x

@cupcakesandglitter just to give you some peace, the symptoms you're having aren't the symptoms of something horrible. I understand your anxiety, it's hard not to be, but don't immediately think that something is wrong. Everything will be fine. I'd stop testing for now, it only brings you more anxiety, wait until you see a Dr.

@cupcakesandglitter you're not. We are here for this xxxx what did 111 say? xxx

@Crossfitgirl that's what I wonder. I really need one I can do everyday once a day. I don't have time to do it three times! lol xxx

My temp has dropped today so AF is finally on her way, actually do feel quite relieved as I am not sure I could have taken another day of no AF and bfns.
Breathe and onto the next cycle!

@cupcakesandglitter - oh hun, what did 111 say? I would book an appointment today with the docs if it is worrying you this much. As CrossFit said - at least then they will be able to tell you what's normal and also take a blood test to double check. ❤️ Xx

@FlapJackered sorry for AF 🙁 I guess I'm slightly ahead this cycle so we probably won't be DPO twins. But we can still hold hands for support. My apps are all confused about my ovulation day, good thing I got the tests or I'd miss it for sure.

So. I took a clearblue digital and wish I didn't. 😔

@FlapJackered sorry for AF on her way hun :( think mine is too xx

Morning all, how is everyone today? I’m 5dpo and so far I’m mostly managing not to do any pointless symptom spotting.
