TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.6

[Delilah7]

New thread before I forget and lots of new people join ❤️❤️❤️

@sunshine1987 think it's too early. I'm only 4/5dpo I think x x

@rj995 sorry you're feeling crappy about it, I've read that even when you get the timing exactly right, there's still only about a 25% chance of getting pregnant. If timing was the only issue, we'd all just have sex every day and get pg straight away the first month! If only... lol
@flapjackered I think we will be missing sex tonight... We showered together but no sex, we're both shattered and he's just cleaning his teeth so unless I initiate now, I think it's a no go. I think ov is either today or tomorrow so i dont know whether to just wait for tomorrow.

@delilah7 from all my googling I did read you can get the cramps etc before implantation actually happens, so you never know 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I am the girl who thinks she’s pregnant simply because she has no symptoms, so I’m the worst lol x

@sunshine1987 trust me the one month I didn't think I was as I had no symptoms was the month I actually was 😂 so it would be nice to have some sort of sign! Xx

@Delilah7 I'm 5dpo too and have had cramps all day too, think it's just hormones playing up and being a pain. Hot wheat bag again tonight for them. Feels like AF cramps annoyingly but far too early!

@sunshine1987 just to say I'm another one who was actually pregnant the month I had no symptoms 😂

@delilah7 @ranchorelaxo you guys aren’t helping this mentalist out here 🙈😂 is it still symptom spotting if you’re now looking for none? x

I feel like no symptoms at all is still a symptom in itself, therefore still qualifies for SSP! 🤣

@Crossfitgirl thank you for putting it into perspective for me! that's very true, I think I got too hung up on the positive OPK and forgot about all the other factors that come into play when TTC, it's so easy to let it get the better of you. Hope you are feeling better😊

@crossfitgirl 🥴

You ladies make my night 😊 thanks for making me smile! Had a pants day at work, then that other couple announcing, it's so good to be able to whinge on here!

I'm trying desperately hard to not symptom spot, but I can't help myself! Horrendously bloated all the time at the moment and I don't like it... sicky feeling comes and goes every now and then! Can't wait for AF to decide whether she's gonna make an appearance or not but I have to wait till Sunday according to Flo!

I look away for a day and missed three pages! Being CD2 is making feel like I'm so behind everyone.

@Delilah7 so glad your dad's mri went well.

@FlapJackered I crave food so bad after ovulation. DH gets mad at me. I have to explain to him that it's only a few days a month and it doesn't affect anything.

@EltzBee feels like that for me too Hun. Really doing my head in! Haha xx

@sunshine1987 yes my darling that is still classed as symptom spotting hahaha xx

@MrsR16 glad we cheered you up! Xxx

@KatBeCool this thread goes so quick. And thank you. I hope his results are ok too. Very anxious xxx

@KatBeCool why does your DH get mad at you? My DH actively encourages me to eat crap which I find really annoying as I need someone to tell me no!

@Crossfitgirl how's your temp looking today? If I were you I would have not Dtd yesterday but tried this morning instead. Although if I was as sickly I would not find it easy to do!

@FlapJackered jokingly mad, not realistically. He thinks that somehow I'm going to immediately gain a ton of weight after five extra pastries (that happened once haha). No regrets though, I love pastries!

@KatBeCool pasties are so good! I'm with you on that one! 😂

Got in late from work last night half 11ish did a opk and looks positive to me, dh was fast asleep didn't want to wake him :( we dtd on Tues, will do tonight & tomorrow skip a day then sat so it's just last night we missed for SMEP, hope it still gives us a good chance...

@Welshpugmomma will defo be a good idea tonight and tomorrow etc. It'll catch don't worry! x x

@Welshpugmomma don't worry, they say that the swimmers can stay alive or a few days so they can be sat there waiting!

Paints a funny picture in my head

I don’t understand my chart this month, what’s with the second big dip? Was hoping it was a trispheric phase but it’s dipped again today? Anyone had this before? I’ve never had a second rise like that so was hoping it would stay up but hasn’t. AF not due until Saturday so hoping the dip isn’t start of it coming sooner 😩

@flapjackered temp still down today and it's cd19. Have O'd cd17 most months and only have a 27 day cycle. Hmm not cool! Got my day 21 blood test on friday too. I wonder if it's an annovulatory cycle? I might try another OPK today... it was def positive on Monday though! My ov pains have gone now so maybe it'll happen today, as last month my temp went up the day after the pains stopped.

I'll be really pissed off if it is annovulatory. The one month soooooo much effort has gone into DTD!

@welshpugmomma yay for positive test! Get on it!

@delilah7 if the results are in a few weeks then fx it'll be something and nothing, as that sounds very routine. The waiting is awful though isn't it?

@katbecool I love nice food. My DH is the same as @flapjackered's most of the time though and will purposely buy in sweets and stuff! Not encouraging me to be healthy at all! Lol.

@eltzbee just picturing a little sperm sat reading a book 😂

@mrsR16 is Sunday when you're due? The wait is awful when you have symptoms isn't it!

@sunshine1987 does your temp normally go that high? I think as long as it's not come back down near the coverline it's fine, it looks like it's just slowly risen, maybe the very top 2 temps are unusual rather than the one that's just come down? Your temp can fluctuate for all sorts of reasons so try not to worry. It's more the pattern than the single temps that matter. Can you post last month's to compare?

Is anyone else having a nightmare posting on here? I use the site rather than the mobile app but when I type in the box the text doesn't always show up or the screen goes black where the advert is and I can't see it properly. It's doing my head in! Is it just me or is it the site??

@delilah7 arghhh I hope so ! Getting a bit impatient with it all now! How you feeling saw your post about trying to take a step back from it all, it's an addictive cycle isn't all the testing and disappointments, especially what you've all ready experienced. Glad your dad's tests went ok it never rains but pours, but there'll be a rainbow around the corner you'll see :)

@katbecool @mrsr16Pasties / pastries you girls getting me Hungryy! Haha

Took a test this morning, then wiped and realised AF had started guess I just got all my cramps in my back this month.

Onto month 18. Probably going to the doctors next week about tests they can do.
