TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

@sunshine1987 how long is your cycle? If you know you ov late it'll be fine. I ovulate around cd17 and I always feel like it's ages after AF that we start DTD.

Totally wanna do an Xmas pregnancy announcement too.

It would be perfect!

I'm cd2, quite heavy AF still, but...
.. doctors orders... DTD every 2-3 days even on AF! What are my chances later tonight I wonder... hehe. My DH doesn't give a shit when I'm on usually haha x

@crossfitgirl Wouldn't it just!
I want to get little vests saying "I love you Nanny and grandad" on for my mum and dad and an auntie one for my sister! Just hoping for a BFP this month or next!

Still no AF here I can’t afford to keep taking tests! I’ve never missed a period before in my life either. Wish it would come so I can start again tbh.

@Peoniesformissannersly just stop taking tests. Try not to get too worked up over it. Keep going your days as normal until next cycle should begin. I know it's hard to just forget about it. But you'll only stress yourself out and if you are pregnant it won't be doing any favours to little bean. Then test on or near when next cycle should be due. If it doesn't come then go to the doctors. Xxx

@crossfitgirl about 28/30 days long. I ovulate around day 18/20 and then 10 day lutheal phase x

Omg @essjayycee I totally think those things too! For me it would be getting our niece and nephew t-shirts saying best cousin ever and seeing my sister and mum in laws faces when they open them!
My parents would probably just get a Christmas card saying to grandma and grandad!

Ahhh I so want it to be real right now x

I haven't done the deed since the 23rd!!! My god. My noonie is going to be as tight as a ducks arse if I get it on tonight 😂😂😂

@crossfitgirl Ahhh me too!
I only have nieces and a nephew on my other halfs side so I wouldn't be able to do that but cute idea!
It's got to be our turn this month surely!?!?! Fingers crossed!

Oh my goodness @Delilah7!! You need to get on it! 😂 It's been 7 days for me but that's partly AF's fault.

@EssJayyCee mine was AF and then it being late too 😂😂

@delilah7 I feel pleased that we DTD only 4 days ago (given our track record of hardly ever) but I don't think it counts when the jizz lands on his leg!! Haha.

Get on it, I feel quite horny tonight haha.

@Crossfitgirl you'll always have pre-jizz. ❤️

@Crossfitgirl don't know if DH is up for it. He's chest is still bad bless him x x

@delilah7 oh, the excitement will clear his chest right up!

And @validuser you crack me up 😂😂😂 salvaged that one alright! Love this thread! Xxx

@Delilah7 just do the hard work yourself.. he doesn't have to work too hard! ;)

I too feel a little horny, but I'm still bleeding ever so slightly and my other half isn't too keen on it when blood is involved

Do you partners still have sex if AF is still around?

Sorry I've been out of it ladies, needed to deep clean the house this weekend, god knows why 😂😂

@Delilah7 I agree with @EssJayyCee - let him sit back whilst you do the work, I'm sure he won't complain 😉

@EssJayyCee we do!! I'm pretty much at my horniest when it comes around 😂 it's not the nicest and afterwards I don't want to see anything, DH is scared it messes up my cycles but I cannot go without sometimes 😂

I've decided to not temp or chart anything this month - really want to focus on losing the weight and not pressuring myself too much. I'd like a normal cycle this month 😂

Hope you're all doing well ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx

Figured I'd post an example of positive OPK (back of Clear Blue and internet cheapie) , for the new people that join and ask this 😊

@Delilah7 you gotta get it on! You don't want old sperm. There's a reason why they test it when it's 2-5 days old.

Hey everyone! How are we?
I'm back from hols and ready and positive for getting on it soon! 💪🏻🐎

@Crossfitgirl has AF turned up properly now? Have you booked in the blood test?
I have got a scan on Tuesday to check if there are any cysts etc which I am dreading!
DH initiated this evening after I told him we are doing smep starting today so great start!
Is your DH still going well with the enthusiasm?

@KatBeCool @CookieWaffle it is so frustrating when people make comments isn't it. My brother said to me this week that we should just get on with it. Well thanks for those wise wise words, I hadn't thought about it at all! 🙄
My DH is extremely unsympathetic at AF time, I actually had words with him about it as I wanted to know he is as invested in the decision to start a family as I am but I think it is just a guy thing.

@Delilah7 how are you hun, what cd are you on now? Any progression with the issues with your brother and you Mum?

I'm cd10 today and resisted starting the opks as the earliest I have ever ov'd is cd18. So I am thinking of starting the ICs on cd12 and the clearblue on cd14. It will be Sod's law if it is the one month I ov early!

Showed DH my positive OPK, he said "Shouldn't we have sex right now?". Men...

@Crossfitgirl @EssJayyCee @cupcakesandglitter I got on it ladies don't you worry. X

@FlapJackered I'm CD7 Hun. I'm ok apart from stressed about everything lol. No progress they're still twats. Turns out he bitched about my mum to her unwell dad. X x

Me and my husband were talking about the fact if we were lucky enough to catch we would be 13 weeks by Christmas Day and I would wear this this Christmas dinner

@RobynC19 that's lovely! Xxx

Update on last night - OH was so up for it. Just wanted me to initiate which I did anyways 😂 lasted all of 5 mins as it was too tight for him after not having sex for two weeks 😂 still, I needed that bit of loving and de stress

@Delilah 7, get in their girl!

So, my ap says my fw should start this weeekend coming. I thought I felt some ov signs yesterday and my last cycle was unusually long. We dtd last night, then I did a smiley stick this morning and got a flashing face! So this week we shall be dtd at least every other day (circumstances permitting) :)

@FivexFive go girl! See listening to your body does pay off! 😘

Morning all, had my doctors appointment this morning after being told a BBT of 36.10 after was too low, turns out that’s not true so hopefully that helps us.

My doctor though is amazing and is checking my thyroid and running day 21 and other tests just for peace of mind. Wasn’t expecting that and came away feeling positive that I wasn’t just turned away and not listened to, hopefully these will just confirm all is ok and give me another boost to keep at it
