TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

Got a faint line on an early clearblue I think!

@FlapJackered how bad his heart actually is and what's actually going on. :( very scared.

It's ridiculous. Royals seem to get pregnant so fast and easy. Then again they don't have the pressure off money or anything do they so!

@Delilah7 they might not have money pressure but they have every other kinda pressure going. The pressure the get pg fast, the pressure to have perfect babies, the scare that press may find out too early, then chance of MC and someone finding out.
Didn't mean to sound funny... I'd take just money pressure over all of that any day.

@BabySquid no I do get that, I wasn't saying they didn't have any other pressure but we are entitled to moan given our journeys we have had. This is a place where you're able to have support from feeling a little twinge of envy towards other couples x x

Please don't take that the wrong way. I'm so happy for them and any other couple but doesn't stop me feeling envious that my baby isn't here anymore x .

I hear you @Delilah7 my exact reaction was wow that didn't take long for them.
What's their secret? Lol x

@MrsC87 @Delilah7 @BabySquid me too! It's not fair! 😂 it is lovely news but every pregnancy announcement I get a mini stab of envy in my uterus!

I had the same thought. It didn't help that my brother sent me the link saying: any news?

He got married the same month as Will and Kate and had all three kids within a couple of months as them. So is convinced any royal announcement must coincide with our family.

It's positive to hear someone 37 get pregnant pretty quick though!

@ValidUser that's exciting! Do another tomorrow or in a couple of days?

Harry and Meghan are so lucky! Where is our baby making magic? Oh wait.. they stole it!

So I usually get premenstrual spotting, but it started and stopped.

I'm also lacking my pms crankiness.

Boobs getting sore.

Things do smell funny and I feel sick. And headachy.

I bought a few FRERs this morning when I was passing boots. Might try in the morning.

Or AF might get me.

Either way, pregnant or not, I think I needed this bit of hope. Was losing my TTC mojo.

I started doing an OPK a day at CD10 now CD13 but each time I do it.. the control line barely comes up so if I'm coming in to ovulate I won't even know because it's so faint?

Any one else get faint control lines?

@EssJayyCee they must be a faulty pack - regardless of your wee's power, control line should be strong.

@ValidUser got a pack of 50! Surely they can't all be faulty?
Your symptoms all sound so promising I hope you're pregnant and AF isn't coming to stay!

Batches can be faulty. Probably more likely than a single faulty one.

Use one with water instead of wee?

Tried that @ValidUser and it's even lighter. I think I might just give up with them and just hope for the best trying to DTD every other day with my fingers crossed.

@Delilah7 @FlapJackered I'm with you, seeing someone get pregnant so quick does make me a tad sad. I don't want to use the word "envious" but I can't deny how badly I wish I was pregnant too after just a couple of months trying and still be happy for them too.

@EssJayyCee it sounds like that entire batch is faulty. I'd order a new one, maybe different brand in case the entire supply of that one is bad.

So my temps went back up yesterday and today. I was waiting until today to make sure they stay up. Also learned that there is such thing as "corpus luteum dip". But of course it doesn't happen for everyone, it doesn't happen every time. Blah blah blah... usual things to make this harder for us.

@KatBeCool envious is better than jealousy :)

Hi,

well I haven't been on here this month to try and get it out of my head but it's not working. Cycle 10 I'm so down today, my college has had a miscarriage, none of us knew she was pregnant. So now more than ever I'm thinking about babies and getting pregnant. I'm just so fed up. Trying to get DH to take vitamins and trying to get him to want to do it at the important time. I keep getting that I'm putting pressure on him, he says he wants this as much as me so why can't he just do it when we are ment to!! I wish he could trade places and realise what I go through every month. ;( hope all you ladies are well. I just needed a sad moan xx

Colleague*

@gjchapman so sorry you're having a bad day. Moan away, we have all been there. The men folk generally just don't seem to get it do they. My DH is exactly the same although he is putting in some effort this cycle it has taken a lot of conversations and nagging him on my part, which I don't enjoy doing.
Have you had a proper conversation about it with him to get him to see what needs to happen if he wants a family? My DH was grumbling about taking vitamins, and I just said hang on - I am doing so much, taking opks, trying to eat well, reduce drinking and then I will have to spend 9 months dedicating my body to creating your offspring and you are complaining about taking some vitamins - he doesn't complain any more! 😂 😂

After many tears and snot bubbles my OH and I have decided to postpone TTC until March. I am sad about this but the reasons behind it make complete sense.

I'll be sending you all the luck in the world and will most likely still stalk this thread!

@FlapJackered yeah we have had loads of conversation and me explaining and him agreeing and saying he'll try harder. One month he did try then it goes again ;( it's so disheartening when I'm trying so hard to track and look after myself ;(
People say it'll happen. Yeah when!!

Ok, I think that possible positive was my imagination!

Here's this afternoon's (granted it was probably dilute wee).

And this morning's:

@ValidUser wow, you're definitely addicted to poas!! 😂 my eyes are poor at the best of times, I'm not even going to make a judgment call! Your symptoms sound promising though!

@EssJayyCee aw hun, we're still all here for you! You've gotta do what's right for you and your OH for sure. Definitely don't be a stranger!

@FlapJackered I love your approach! I had the conversation with my DH last night "do you actually know anything about TTC?" And he said "no!" So there was me sat explaining... hopefully it'll make life a bit easier for me. That said, I'm now in my TWW although I'm not even convinced I've ov'd this month!

@gjchapman that's so awful for your colleague, but definitely not helpful for you! It's so difficult with people all around you falling pregnant... as already mentioned by other ladies, I definitely had a pang of envy when Harry and Meghan announced!
