TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

Hope you’re ok this morning @cupcakesandglitter xx

Sorry to hear AF is on her way @flapjackered, the only upside I guess is the limbo part. This month I sort of found it easier when I came on even though temp didn’t tell me as it stopped me getting anymore negatives and stressing about why I was if AF wasn’t here yet.

@delilah7 sorry babe you didn’t get the answer you wanted x

@stormtrooperjulian well done hun!

@sunshine1987 thanks x

Thanks @sunshine1987 @KatBeCool just a waiting game today! I just want to get on with the next cycle now.
@KatBeCool What cd are you on now?
@Delilah7 sorry about the clearblue lovely - it's not our month - 🤞🏻next month will be our lucky one.

@FlapJackered yeah maybe. Just abit fed up now. Next month is my 6 month trying. :(

@Delilah7 I'm with you, I just went past 6 months. Not a fun feeling but when you hear the stats that 85% get pregnant within a year of trying it gives me hope that we will all get our bfp soon. We just have to try and stay positive.

@Delilah7 it’s the not knowing that I hate. If someone could tell me ‘you will get pregnant in month 10’ or whatever then that would be fine, but not knowing if it will take 6 months or 3 years or never happen at all is frustrating for me.

@delilah7 @flapjackered Only upside is that we’re all in this together. Onto cycle 5 now for me too x

@KatBeCool I'm not going to test at all now, just wait for af x

@Delilah7 @FlapJackered @sunshine1987 thankyou ladies x

So a nurse called me back and said a doctor looked at my symptoms and advised me to go to A&E. Didn't get home until 5 (and I'm up now for a bloody meeting 😩) but they did a pee test and a blood test and nope I'm not pg. The doctor said the pain I'm having could 'just' be ovary pain? Sent me home with no advice really so waste of time. I suppose if bloods have confirmed BFN there's not much I can do...

DH is still convinced I'm pg and I don't know what to do - I remember someone (sorry I can't remember who it was) mentioned LP stays the same; if I ov'd on the 9th then AF should 100% be here by now?

Sorry ladies I'm just bloody knackered with all of this honestly 😩

Sorry about af being on the way @FlapJackered @Delilah7 xx

@stormtrooperjulian agreed, not knowing is definitely the worst part about TTC!! X

@FlapJackered I just find it worse than before. As I know I can get pregnant now. So why isn't it happening lol xx

@stormtrooperjulian I'm with you there. I hate he unknown!!! Xx

@sunshine1987 sucks asssssss. :( we're here for each other zz

@cupcakesandglitter love you petal xxxxxxxxx

@cupcakesandglitter that must be so confusing, having so many symptoms but eveything keep saying no. Don't give up hope entirely though, stranger things have happened I'm sure. Not over til AF arrives

Today starts my first FW where I can actually start trying, yippee! Cycle 1, got pre-seed ready, let's do this.

@starkid how exciting for you 😍

@Delilah7 thank you, buit nervous though as so many of our family know we're trying and are excited, asking about it etc. and I'm worried it's going to take a long time due to scar tissue in that area... feel like the excitement of starting to try will soon be taken over by frustration. Never know though :)
Fingers crossed for you next cycle too xx

@starkid no reason to be disheartened yet so try stay positive 😘 yeah me too xxx

@FlapJackered I'm CD5 now. I guess it's the only plus to 24 day cycles, I can ttc more often. At the same time it's been more time it's failed.

@Delilah7 I'm sorry about your test. It'll happen.

@cupcakesandglitter I mentioned about LP not changing. That's what I read everywhere. The Dr's were looking for things that are alarming and didn't find any, so at least that's good. Stress can delay AF, so it could be just that, and temps being up means that your progesterone is, which is causing those symptoms. Everything will be fine. Hugs.

@cupcakesandglitter I've also read in a few places that your LP doesn't change. Mine is a lifetime of 15 days!! Feels so much longer while I'm in it tho!! Just try and think positive if possible, I know it's hard but try and forget about it... (while I know that it easier said than done!!) maybe try a colouring book?? I love them! Or check out Mrs Hinch on insta, she makes me forget everything and I just want to clean!!

@BabySquid @KatBeCool @cupcakesandglitter see how do I know about my LP?! I thought I worked it out when I had 28 day cycles. But I've never got a proper dark positive on OPK!

Meant to say * so never know my true ovulation day!

Is this only for previous posters or can I join?

I'm 26 TTC my first. Currently on CD 29 of second cycle since coming off the pill.

Having alot of symptoms but two early tests were BFN. But more symptoms and signs keep happening. Eek! Fingers crossed!

Finally AF has shown her ugly mug. Cycle 5 cd1!

@EssJayyCee welcome :)

@FlapJackered finally!!!! Half pleased for you babe. Mine still hasn't showed xx

Welcome @EssJayyCee 🤞🏻for you!

@Delilah7 I know, it was a relief to know where I stand. I hope you know soon one way or another. It also means I can have cocktails tonight which is a good thing! 🍸

@starkid @BabySquid @KatBeCool thankyou ❤️ yeah I'm planning on cleaning through the house properly (I love Mrs Hinch! Planning on doing the fabric conditioner door trick), getting my hair and brows done to treat myself. Maybe even a full body wax if I'm feeling extra sorry for myself 😂

@Delilah7 thankyou ❤️ I don't know mine either 😂 this month is the first with EWCM, + OPK and temp drop the day after... and now a 36 day cycle 🙃 I'm unsure. Did you log anything into flo from the cycle you were pg? Xx

Hey @EssJayyCee xx

@FlapJackered ah boo 😩 onto the next cycle!! Big bottle glass of wine for you!! Xx

@FlapJackered yeah, hoping I know soon! Weird though as I thought this weekend I'd be late compared to last cycle. Turns out I'm late as it should be today!

@cupcakesandglitter yes I did Hun! Xxx

@Delilah7 I'd go with roughly what flo predicted for that cycle, and then do OPKs around then too x
