TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

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

@starkid I think I might get some. I was irregular before the pill so didn't know when I ovulate or when AF was coming. On the pill for a year and a half. Now back off it, Cycle one was 45 days no idea if or when I ovulate. Now cycle two CD29 No sign of AF all previous pregnancy symptoms seem to have disappeared so I think to cycle three I need to figure out where things happen!

Welcome @wildcatseverywhere and @Teachermummy83

@EssJayyCee I use opks as I came off the implant and didn’t know when or if I would ovulate. I used the amazon cheapies, seemed to work well

@Delilah7 maybe you should test tomorrow just to be sure?

@stormtrooperjulian I'm so over testing as I'm just knowing AF will turn up late 😂

Please talk me out of POAS at 7DPO, madness!

Tested again. Wish I could get FRERs from other than amazon. Everywhere else is abit of a trek to get them. But with three digital negatives I'm probably just not pregnant 😂

Hi ladies,

Just joining in for the first time so hi everyone 👋
Age 31
Cycle 3
CD19, about 7 days PO and well and truly in the TWW.
Had an early MMC at 4 weeks (didn't know I was pregnant) in my first cycle, so hoping this might be my month. I'm feeling a bit different in this TWW- similar to the first cycle really.... so the waiting continues!!!

@Delilah7 digitals aren't all that sensitive - they're nearly 4 times less sensitive than FRERs.

@EssJayyCee I shouldn't symptom spot. I know it's pointless because it's generally the placenta that gives symptoms and that hasn't formed. But I'm a big, shameless symptom spotter. 😂

@summer28 also cycle 3 here and maybe 2 dpo (but my age matches your username). Welcome!

@Delilah7 I know I'm just spamming our thread now, but i find digital tests give the most depressing BFNs. There's something so final about "not pregnant". Doesn't stop me using them too though. ❤️

@ValidUser I'm just sitting here having a little cry to myself.. no ones here and I'm just exhausted from worrying about my cycles after MC.
Last month was 30 day's. This month is currently 31. I can't deal with them being this irregular😭 I'm so stressed out.

@summer28 welcome 😘

Hey ladies! I’m 3dpo and feel like I’ve woken up with weird pelvic feelings, more like pressure than pain/cramp and MASSIVE hunger. AF not due til 11th October-ish am I just imagining things or could this mean something?!

@ValidUser this means we pretty much match I'd say! Hopefully.... cycle 3 is the one for us! 🙂

@Delilah7 sorry to read you had a MC, and honestly I know that learning it's happened and then just carrying on with TTC can get the better of you at times, but just give yourself the credit you deserve. It's a big thing, can take a lot to get over and don't put yourself under pressure when you don't have to. Having irregular cycles for a few months afterwards is completely normal and doesn't mean that you aren't ovulating and won't get pregnant again really soon. X

@summer28 thank you Hun. I guess I just didn't realise how stressed out and controlling it would make me about having a baby again soon. I wanted to just relax and not be so consumed by it but I guess now I know I can get pregnant it frustrates me more. And more so when I feel I feel the same way as I did before... going to go take a relaxing bath I think! X

@KatBeCool that's the problem, I have no idea 😂😂 my chart is literally all over the place - this is the first time I've had any sort of constant!

@Delilah7 oh definitely, we're a bunch of confused mad cows 😂 test again with a FRER if possible in a couple of weeks? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter yeah I think I'm gonna have to aren't i if she doesn't come. Just doesn't feel like she's coming which is the same as last time x

@Delilah7 fx for you sweet xx

@cupcakesandglitter I used to be so positive when I first made these groups and now I'm this hahaha x

@Delilah7 oh I know, but we're all going through the same ups and downs together - I'm glad we all have each other for support xx

Hi All, I got my first flashing smiley this morning which is great news... Cycle 2 of TTC has officially started for us!

The problem i'm facing is husband is very tired / stressed with work and just hardly ever seems in the mood for sex. How do I get him to DTD every other day (at least) if he just isn't feeling it? :( It's stressing me out.. I know it's pressure on the man but why can't we just enjoy sex for the next week!?!? Any one else had to deal with this?

Expected to be around 5 weeks but had spotting last night and now seems like heavier fresh blood. Have managed to get an out of hours appointment at local hospital. Being a woman sucks!

Hoping everything will be ok @mrsof20118. X

Oh man, fingers crossed for you that it doesn't get heavier. They told me there wasn't anything they could do as 6 weeks is too early to scan. Hoping you have a better outcome than I did. Xx

@Delilah7 I haven’t posted on your threads in a few months but I’ve enjoyed them. I appreciate your starting them and also your enthusiasm to keep them going. Hope you’re feeling better today.

Hi all 👋, I've been AWOL for a few weeks trying to be more chilled about TTC and getting the new house sorted.

A recap I'm 32 TTC #1 cycle 4

Didn't do any OPKs or anything this month so don't know when I ovulated could have been Thursday, Friday or today. Had a quickie this morning then took my niece trampolining so hoping the bouncing helped get everything where it needed to be 😉

I haven't caught up on the whole thread yet so hope everyone's keeping sane 😘
