TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

@RobynC19 I'm also 5DPO, it's not always a bad thing to not feel any different. Stay positive hun I know it's hard.

@Crossfitgirl ah I see, tricky one! Quality of life is so important too and if your having to give up things like CrossFit to do the job then maybe it's not worth it if you don't need to?
Which Italian lakes are you going to? I went to lake Iseo in August which was amazing. 😍
Good luck with the morning sex initiating tomorrow! DH has promised yet again we will have sex tomorrow morning too.

@flapjackered We're going to Lake Como. Excited! Any Italian tips?
And with the job, I'm very much starting to think it's not worth it to be honest.
Good luck for the morning too! Hehe xx

@sunshine1987 I honestly don't think I'm pregnant. It was just my period. But it doesn't seem to want to end.

Ladies....... it's positive!!

@summer28 congratulations that's fantastic.
🎉🎊

Wow @summer28 congratulations!!
So exciting!!! How many dpo are you??

@flapjackered how did it go? My morning sex Did happen eventually... I tried to initiate but wasn't getting a response and after a while he turned round and said that's so annoying! You're just tickling me! Euh I felt so stupid, I turned over and started crying silently. Then he said look if you want it then just come and get it! And demonstrated how he just takes my pants off when he wants it. So that's what I did and we got there in the end. Im pleased though as i wasnt in the mood at all, then he pretty much killed it, but I pushed it aside and tried again anyway and we managed to have fun.
Not the best day 3 of smep, but at least I know to just be direct next time.
I guess that's what we've said on here all along!

Hope your morning was a little better than mine. @summer28's certainly was!

Summer were you doing SMEP?? Xxx

@summer28 massive congratulations 😍 well done holding out testing too, was definitely worth it x

@summer28 ahhhhh congratulations!!! 😍😍

Thank you @Delilah7 @BabySquid @sunshine1987 and @Crossfitgirl !!! Still can't believe it. I didn't do smep, we DTD a couple of times before my fertile window then every other day during it. This was my 3rd cycle, and I'd had a very early mmc in cycle 1. @Crossfitgirl I think you called my pregnancy symptoms a week or so ago because I did! I'm 19dpo today and I'm really glad I waited it out xxxxx

Whoever advised not taking pregnacare as it increased their cycles I should have listened to you, first month taking them and should have ovulated today but not even a slight second line on an OPK. Bloody annoying 🙈

Congratulations @summer28 💕

@Summer28, Woooo!! Massive congratulations :)

@Crossfitgirl, if your gut is saying the new role isn't worth it, I'd say listen to it to be honest. Unless there's a Big incentive (pay etc) to power through. Especially if they'll let you slip back into your old role (where it sounds like you were happier) without too much issue. I had a similar thing in my last job; was pressured into taking a team leader position. It was a bit more money, which was nice and of course it was a bit of an ego boost to be wanted etc, but overall it was just waaayy more stress for not much reward. But, I should stress, that company wad all kinds of F'd up, hence why I'm no longer there! If your company can offer you some support while you get used to the new responsibility, it could be worth powering on? Anyway... enjoy your holiday! Eat lots of pasta, take lots of pictures :)

OMG @summer28 congratulations!!!! Such good news!! 🎉🥂🥂🎉

@Crossfitgirl oh no that doesn't sound very kind of your DH, but good that you know that he likes the direct approach and that you managed to get the job done 😂
We had success too, DH is much better with morning sex as he is already standing to attention when he wakes up. It was a really good one actually and I woke him up with a massage which he said he really liked.
Flashing smiley today so no messing about now!
Have a lovely time in Italy 🇮🇹 xx

Does anyone else find that all the sperm just seems to fall out after sex? I can't see how any of it gets where it needs to go when it's coming out for the next few hours.

Thanks @fivexfive that's really good advice. I have asked to be supported on a stress management course, so I think I've decided that unless they agree to that, I'm just going to withdraw my application. Need to choose life over work!

@summer28 yesssss called it! Haha. What were the symptoms again? I can't remember it seems ages ago now! How did OH react?

@sunshine1987 can you be certain it's the pregnacare? Lots of things can affect your cycle, not just vitamins, and also sometimes your cycle varies for no reason at all. Maybe try it for a couple of months before deciding? My cycle hasn't changed much since taking vits, it's been 1 day longer this last 2 cycles, but then it's been getting gradually longer since coming off the pill anyway, so could be anything Xx

@crossfitgirl no I can’t be certain but my cycles are regular and this month just happens to not and coincides with taking it. Normally wouldn’t care but have blood tests booked that have to be taken on certain days during my cycle x

@crossfitgirl sorry that last post sounds shirty reading it back lol, wasn’t meant to be. But I know you’re right and could be anything, just a bit frustrated the one month I needed it regular lol x

@sunshine1987 haha no it didn't sound shirty, it's just sods law isn't it the one month you need it regular! Are you having day 1 / day 21 tests? I'm having that, and I'm worried the timing won't be right as I don't ovulate til cd17... and i have heard you're meant to have it around 7dpo but GP wouldn't believe my OPKs and insisted I must ovulate cd14 as I have 27 day cycle. so it's prob gonna fall around 4dpo x

Hi all. Do you think it's better to do an early test if you suspect pregnancy or wait until the day your period is due to avoid potential disappointment? Obviously no right answer, just wondering what you would do.

I have one expired pregnancy test (oops) in my possession and so I was going to wait until the missed period to buy more so I don't get my hopes up. I'm 11dpo, af due Tuesday or Wednesday.

And congratulations @summer28!!

Congratulations @summer28 what wonderful news!

@rosti hold out if you can. You risk getting a false negative if you test too early. If you can wait you could save yourself some unnecessary disappointment

@crossfitgirl yeah exactly that. So now worried the tests will be done at the wrong time in the cycle. I think I’m going to call Monday and just see what they say. But at this rate instead of having them Tuesday I should have it Thursday/Friday x

Congratulations @summer28!

AF got me today, cycle day 1 for me.
How are you doing @Lougg have you tested yet?
