TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.6

[Delilah7]

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

@sunshine1987 yeah it isn't the prettiest but it does do useful graphs! Started temping this cycle so started using it then alongside Ovia. Have the 'free trial' at the moment, don't think I'll go for the paid for version it seems so expensive!!

Temp still on the higher side at the moment. It's really interesting to see how the temperature is so different across a month!

Glad I took the time over my lunch break to put my old period and ovulation data in to it so that it's updated the calculation now as this month is out of my 'norm' cycle.

@eltzbee yeah it is expensive, though I got it when it was cheap for a year. Also the charts like mine I’ve just found today is deadly 🙈 it’s meant for obsessives lol x

I'm half wanting this cycle to hurry up and end!! Need the clearblue tests! X x

Clearblue ovulation tests I mean!

@sunshine1987 hah I bet, it doesn't let me view them even on my trial but yeah that' probably not a bad thing if they're so addictive!

A couple of friends with little ones (who got preg pretty quickly and easily) say 'just relax' or 'it'll happen when you don't think about it' - drives me up the wall!

@eltzbee yeah I get the same, I think they’re trying to be helpful but it’s not as easy as that. I’m the last of my little group (those who want to have children) to have kids which I think adds some pressure too x

@sunshine1987 yeah, my husbands twin-brother has 3 children, and my younger female cousins have kids so really feel the expectation. I wish it was as easy as 'just don't worry about it and it'll happen', but as I've learnt biology doesn't work like that! Glad I've found this site as it nice to be able to chat/rant/get advice/share experience.

Just a quick post from work, will catch up this evening... af has arrived :( Knew it would. Onwards and upwards to November and lots of shagging! X

@FivexFive love to youuuuuu x

@fixedfive sorry to hear that x

@eltzbee yeah it’s been such a lifeline x

Hi all, back home and caught up! Excuse the lack of tags, phone is being odd. Can see a few ladies on fertility friend, that's the one I use :) Have told a few people at work we're ttc (small office, all women, no point trying to hide ANYTHING!!) They allllll say to relax etc. Hmmm ...

Lets hope we get some more bfps on here soon.... I think we will given how many of us are jumping on our partners at every chance! I hereby announce November as The Month Of Lots Of Sex :)

@FivexFive I work mostly with men who don't notice anything my hair changed from blonde to brunette and they never twigged til several weeks later.

Haha yes I think November will be that way!

I hereby announce as the OP it will be NOOKIE NOVEMBER!!!!! 😂😂 @EltzBee @FivexFive

@Delilah7 gotta love some alliteration!

@Delilah7, yeeeesss!! Nookie November is definitely a plan :) I announced this to dh and he looked faintly confused... hopefully he'll get in the spirit of things once af has passed! How are you anyways hun? Xx

@EltzBee, at least if the men don't notice you can have it as your little secret for a while :) We're always here to vent to / laugh with / discuss sex, sticks and mucus! Xx

Down for nookie November 😉

@FivexFive I'm ok. Awaiting dad's heart results so that's abit daunting but I'm ok. Come to the conclusion I'm not pregnant this month. No idea why. Think AF is due in 9 days!!

We are down for nookie November 😂😂

Been a few days since I've posted as it's hard to keep on top of all these posts! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm trying to symptom spot and failing so, so badly basically convinved myself I'm pg already

@EltzBee Hope your DH doesn't have to go to the US during your fertile window! I've accompanied DH on business trips before for the sole purpose of making sure we can have sex at the right time! Fx it works out okay for you guys!

@FivexFive Sorry to hear that :( There is always next cycle though! 4

@Delilah7 Hope you get the results soon and everything is okay. Try to stay positive this could be your month!

That meant to say tying not to symptom spot

Omg. Missed a day and got like a million posts to read!

Well done on all this DTD ladies!! I'm so impressed!!

Im also feeling very chuffed, so yesterday... after I felt crappy and we missed a day of sex right when I thought I might have ovulated, I text DH to say it would probably be our last chance to make a baby this month.

He was prepping tea when i got home, and he finishes chopping the veg, before starting with the chicken he goes "right, I can either carry on and cook the chicken for tea now... or... I can stop prepping now.... and we can go have sex? Then come back and have tea?"

I have to say, I was absolutely amazed and astounded!!
We went upstairs and got right on it!!
I'm so pleased as he has NEVER got on board like that, and it was a great shag to end our first month of DTD every other day (or nearly anyway).

I can see a few of you due to test this weekend too! I'm excited for you and hope to see some BFPs! I'm due AF next Thursday, but I'm not actually sure I ovulated at all, as my temp still hasn't gone up, so I'm certain I'm out already 😣

@crossfitgirl go on Mr CrossFit 😉

Haha @sunshine1987 first glimmer of effort he's put in since I came off the pill I think! I think the referral to the fertility clinic has brought it home a bit for him, and maybe made him realise we do actually need to make the effort. He's got his sperm sample containers today from the docs too.

I do think there is something in the whole "relax" thing, as annoying as it is, so many people say it, there must be some truth in it there must be!

I'm doing an 8 week mindfulness course through work soon so I'm hoping that helps me with stress, and obvs I'll just be popping them out once I'm nice and relaxed.

@delilah7 that mindset is not helpful! You ARE pregnant. That baby is there... it's a matter of when it will show it's face (or pink line, whatever). You WILL be Positive! Slightly embarrassing but I sometimes imagine I am, and stroke my belly as if I am, to try and make my body think I am, so that maybe I will be?

Joining you in the November sprint...had a bit of blood when I went to the loo tonight. Rechecked charts and ov on cd20, today is cd27 so wasn't a chance to conceive or implant by the look of it. X

Oh no @mrsof20118 is it AF? That's a very short luteal phase if so, how long is it normally? X
