TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

@EssJayyCee I'm only on CD25 today, so am planning on testing on CD27! DH is away this weekend so that'd be a great surprise to let him have when he comes home!

Hiya @essjayycee 👋 31, heading into cycle 5

Hi, is this group for anyone TTC baby number 1?
I’m on cycle 4 although it feels like more.
Currently AF is 6 days late and no standard PMS symptoms. However I’ve got a heavy feeling down there, peeing a lot and lotion like CM...but two BFNs. So frustrating. I feel you ladies, this timing and waiting game is exhausting.
Glad I found Mumsnet so I’m not sharing my paranoia with my DH all the time :) x

@wildcatseverywhere welcome!! Trust me, this is the place to share everything! Nothing is tmi here with this fantastic group of ladies x

@mrsR16 do you think I should do another test then?
Hello @wildcatseverywhere mumsnet is great! And I feel good now I've found this group to chat to!

Is it just me that feels as if they are to blame when they don't fall pregnant? Like they are broken?

@EssJayyCee when are you due AF? X

@mrsR16 I'm not sure. This is only my second cycle since being off the pill. My first one was 45days! I was irregular before the pill..
I'm only thinking about testing because of all the symptoms I've been getting but then with BFN'S already I'm reluctant to be let down again.

@EssJayyCee the longer you wait, the more likely you are to get a correct reading! Even at 10dpo which is where I am, I'm pushing my luck testing on Sunday... I could still end up with a false BFN. I reckon give it another couple of days since your last test and see how it goes. Have you got any signs of AF coming at all? I don't check my temp, but I know lots of the ladies on here do.

@MrsR16 good luck for Sunday🤞🏻
@EssJayyCee @wildcatseverywhere welcome to the group.
EssJayy you were asking earlier... I'm just gone 29, on cycle 5 but miscarried two weeks ago at 6 weeks. Back on the TTC bus now tho and not dwelling on it too much. So currently on CD7.

@EssJayyCee - Hi! I'm new too. Age 28, Cycle 1, CD14 :)

@wildcatseverywhere welcome honey xxx

Ooo a few new ladies in the gang, love it! Welcome all :)
I'm 30, off the pill since march but only cycle 2 of proper trying. Cycle day 4.

Crossfitgirl, try to delegate or ask for help where possible. If it's a new role, hopefully you'll get some support? Good luck with the job, I'm sure you'll smash it!

Delilah7 and Cupcakesandglitter, hope you guys are ok xxx

Checking in xoxo

@FivexFive tired tbh, abit fed up. No period! hope you're ok zzz

Welcome @wildcatseverywhere 😊 I'm TTC no 1 as well xx

Delilah7, sorry to hear you're feeling down. At least it's the weekend?! Anything planned? Shame we're so spread out, we could do a face to face! Sending hugs xx

Dh and I went out for dinner :) Good thing we dtd before, too tired and full now! Trying to make more effort to do non ttc sex before it gets to Smiley Stick time :) don't want dh feeling used! Xxx

@FivexFive nothing really. Meal with mum and dad tomorrow as OH is away until Sunday :( xx

@mrsR16 the only symptoms I have are what I mentioned in a PP. None of them link to previous AF so not that I'm aware..

I'm sick of thinking and hoping I'm pregnant. I know deep down that I'm not and I probably never will be.

@BabySquid sorry to hear about your mc good luck!
@starkid hello! Ooh good luck!
Aww all you ladies are so lovely, so welcoming!

Do any of you girls use OPK's?
If so are they worth it?

@EssJayyCee - I use them, as i used to be on the pill for years so didn't know when I ovulated. I was worried I wasn't using them right/they weren't working when I started using them to track last month, but finally went very dark on days 18 and 19, which correlated with my temp going up and ewcm, so seems good to me. I was testing twice a day from around CD13. I use the cheap Amazon ones

Wonder if you’ve room for a newbie? Really struggling with this TTC malarkey just now so hoping for friendly faces to chat to xx

Welcome, everyone new!

CD6 for me. Waiting for the O is definitely easier than the two weeks after.

Morning @KatBeCool x

I'm up just to take my temp 😭 Since Tuesday I've had a mixture of either broken sleep or roughly 2/3 hours of sleep all night. I knew my temps wouldn't count and I've logged them in FF as discarded but I've looked and tues-fri all 36.11 degrees and today was 36.10 - I can't help but think that this maybe shouldn't be discarded? Or am I overthinking it? X

@cupcakesandglitter it's hard to say since you haven't been sleeping well or enough. I'd still keep track, especially when they're in the high range. What's your base line?

@cupcakesandglitter me and you are as confused in the head as each other babes.
Im now officially a day late.... boobs are killing me and I had strange taste again yesterday. After two negatives in the week I know I'm not, but I guess I just want that bit of hope x
