TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

@FivexFive one word... spooning!!! 😏

Hope you are all well ladies. Think I'm coming up to fertile window providing my cycles aren't messed up due to chemical so been sneaking mine ovulation tests in a notepad into the ladies at work. Only way I can get away with it without lugging my bag about and making it obvious! X

Hi all, so things are pretty quiet here, AF is due sat/Sunday. Stupidly just did an early response test as I've had really sore boobs this cycle and it's a bfn. Never gets any easier 🙄
How is everyone? xx

@FivexFive @BabySquid or... face down ass up? 😂😂😂😂

@mrsof20118 what a bloody clever idea!!! Xx

@MrsC87 not bad how're you? Defo do believe now I'm not testing till AF I know it's hard but I had a BFN before my BFP before x x

@Delilah7 I'm good thanks, trying to keep busy! Yeh I haven't anymore tests other than a digital so now not going to buy anymore until I get a missed AF. I'll be disappointed either way but it's just pissing money down the toilet quite literally lol xx

@babysquid @Delilah 7, love coming on here, you gals have the best tips :)

@MrsC87 good idea hun. Take it easy on yourself xx

@FivexFive yes girlllll

@MrsC87 Acht sorry about the bfn - they are so mean! Although still very early so you're definitely still in the running this cycle!

@mrsof20118 I love the covert notepad operation. Your colleagues must think you're extremely devoted to your job going to the loo with a notepad all the time 😂

@FivexFive oh no! Those pesky colds always come at the wrong time...paper bag over head? 😉

Thanks @FlapJackered & @Delilah7 😘
It's good to be back chatting with you guys too, missed this thread recently 💕

Hi girls I'm back, I've had an early loss, obviously gutted and don't think I will be as active on the thread for a bit but just wanted to place mark back on here

Still no AF! Have decided to just presume that not pregnant and DTD every other day anyway. Very frustrating as worried I’ve missed a cycle and won’t ovulate now this month.
I feel your pain MrsC87 I have wasted a fortune this month!

@RanchoRelaxo I'm so sorry darling. Such a hard thing to go through. Take your time. If you need us we are here. For anything xxx

@cupcakesandglitter I'm going to do nothing but temp this month, yay for no OPKs and less stress!

@flapjackered yes I went this morning, AF came properly Saturday. Good luck for your scan! Prepare yourself for needing to pee VERY badly! Let us know how it goes :-)
Yay DH enthusiasm! I'm going to initiate after tea and i have put my sexy silk black pjs on so I'll update you later! Still bleeding a tiny bit, but he isn't bothered about that.

Also totally with you on starting OPKs later. As above, I'm gonna try avoid them this month. Eek!

@delilah7 yesss for DTD.

@robync19 love it!

@sunshine1987 fab news about the docs being supportive! It's reassuring when you get taken seriously isn't it. Also, my temp stays around 35.7 to 35.9 for the whole first half of my cycle so I'd probably be dead if 36 was too low! It's good to see your own doc i think!

I've just had my day 3 test today so waiting for my day 21 test in 3 weeks.

I don't know anything about coeliac disease and pregnancy complications, didn't even know it affected it - amazing what you learn on here.

@MrsC87 you too lovely x x

@Crossfitgirl @cupcakesandglitter I'm with the yay to no OPKS but I'm not start temping yet either.
One DTD under my belt. Would tonight but I seem to have been bitten FUCKING EVERYWHERE. so do not feel sexy at all 😂😂

I wouldn't know half as much if it wasn't for my mum! X x

@RanchoRelaxo, so sorry sweetheart. Take care of you and like Delilah7 says, we're here if you need us xxx

So sorry @ranchorelaxo xx

@RanchoRelaxo oh no, I am so so sorry. I hope you're ok and have support. We are here for you whenever you need us.

@Crossfitgirl well done on going opk free. I may do the same next cycle if they mess up for me again.
Ooo sexy pj time! I need to invest in sexier clothes, my pjs are all t-shirt and baggy bottom combos, doesn't scream rip me off!

Actually really nervous about the scan, my sis has bad endometriosis so I just hope there is nothing nasty hiding away there.

So sorry to hear that @RanchoRelaxo 💕 @Crossfitgirl I ditched the OPK's this last cycle but have decided I'm going back to them. We attempted to dtd every other day but our lives just get in the way- stressful jobs where we finish late and then end up being super tired!!
However not using OPK's definitely made me more relaxed, I just think I missed the window not knowing when I ovulated this cycle x

Evening all...
Mind if I join you all? Been hovering about the waiting to ttc post and I'm inbetween that one and this one... I think
A bit about me... started ttc last November and got my bfp in July and unfortunately had a MC at 7 weeks at the beginning of August. Me and OH talked about waiting for a we while as I'm looking for a new job. But we are both struggling with waiting!! So stopped being careful from this week and seeing what happens. No pressure/temps/opks for now so just letting things happen and then come April we will start properly trying

Not sure whether to count this as cycle 12 of trying or back to cycle 1 as we only had 6 weeks of not trying after MC!

Hope that makes sense

@delilah7 fellow coeliac here! I got diagnosed in January. Have you had an endoscopy? Specialists say you cannot get golden seal of approval without it but I went gluten free before seeing the specialist. They did a second blood test and mine had dropped enough to say I have it (they wanted me to eat gluten for 6 weeks before having the endoscopy and I flat out refused....Because I would 100% shit my pants if I did!)
Have you looked at silent coeliac? It's where you have no outward symptoms when you eat gluten but it still causes severe damage inside. Definitely a huge reason as to why you struggled first time around. We wanted to try earlier this year but knowing what I knew I wanted to wait till I had a good few months of a gluten free diet before we did. If i accidentally eat gluten which has happened a few times it makes my period really late. So now we are trying I am being really really careful.
I really hope it helps you. I felt like a new woman going gluten free but if you don't have outward symptoms you might not notice but it will definitely help your fertility if you do have it!

@FlapJackered saggy bottom pjs won't get you very far haha.

@RanchoRelaxo so sad! But as my Dr said, it showed that you're capable of getting pregnant, so that's encouraging and means you can do it again!

So sorry @RanchoRelaxo

Welcome @Rachael321

Ugh, I feel so down tonight.

Everyone around me is either pregnant or with new borns or getting engaged and I'm sat here like:
"When will it be my turn for these exciting life milestones?" It's getting me down. I feel like crap tonight. End of AF hormones or genuinely sad. Either way I'm not in a good mood right now. I just want to cry.
