TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.6

[Delilah7]

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

@Delilah7 aw hun, we're definitely allowed to feel that we're going mad! AF was supposed to be here today, but I have absolutely no signs of it arriving any time soon! Horrible mood swings though, which I don't normally suffer with!

@MrsR16 I just wanna cry as I feel bodies playing tricks on me and it's not fair. I just want another baby 😭 I miss talking and rubbing my belly...

@Delilah7 😢 not good Hun! But you know you've got your support group right here! X

@Delilah7 I feel like that every single month so don't feel alone. Every single month without fail I convince myself I'm pregnant.

When we want something so much we cling to anything that could be want we want it to be!

This is all part of the journey, one day it will happen and all the sad will be worth it Xx

Well today started off ok... woke up in a grump still but then realised it was a lovely day. So dinner was put in the slow cooker, pot of soup made and me and OH went for a lovely walk along the river which cheered me up a bit cause we decided it was a walk "just us" phones off or on silent and put away in my bag, no interruptions!
And it then went rapidly downhill when I eventually checked mine and had a fair whack of missed calls to let me know of a family bereavement. Mood changed again!!!

Party was generally a success. Just annoying that nobody seemed to appreciate the effort I had made to do it all and instead just decided to complain to me about the slightest of issues that had nothing to do with me! Pretty similar to what happened last year which is disheartening 😞
At the moment it's just one night but that can change at any time because of his job unfortunately. I just can't help but think the worst about it all. He changed companies in August and told them that he doesn't do nights away at all.... and now he's doing one! Don't want the boss to start taking advantage. I can't settle at all when he's away working

Also started typing and then forgot who I was tagging and where!

Sorry ladies @cupcakesandglitter @crossfitgirl
@flapjackered @delilah7 @charm23 @stormtrooperjulian

Congrats @cookiewaffle so pleased for you x
@cupcakesandglitter mine are the same since coming off the pill. I'm wondering if they have just settled now I'm in my 30s?! Mine were horrendous as a teenager so I should be glad really!

@CookieWaffle OMG congratulations!!!!! That is such fantastic news! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you. 🤞🏻🎉🥂

@Delilah7 it will happen darling, keep positive, I know it's hard❤️

Massive temp drop today at 10dpo. Af not due until Friday so no idea what is going on there?! Fingers crossed it goes back up tomorrow 🙁

@flapjackered fingers crossed it’s an implantation dip! x

AF has reared her head. Least I can have my bloods today now

@Delilah7 I have visible lines on my opks pretty much during the entire time. I'm only on CD8 and the line is 50% dark, my fertile week hasn't even started. CB is showing low fertility. With internet cheapies the only thing that matters is the dark line, others are irrelevant. So it's working as intended.

@EltzBee OPK will show positive during pregnancy because LH and HCG are similar hormones and the test can detect both.

@CookieWaffle good luck! This is exciting.

@MrsR16 thank you. I hope so x

@SullyWifey I used to feel like that every month before MC however since I haven't had anything! X

@FlapJackered I'm trying. Just so much more stressed this month! Xx

@KatBeCool smashing

Had a bit of a meltdown to husband last night, found this weekend very hard being late and then AF arriving late last night in the end. Also spent it with my girls and all their kids and every conversation was about children and just all a bit much. Fed up of trying now to be honest. Happy I can get my bloods done today so that will give us a better idea of what’s going on with me but feeling low, also need to stop tracking this month I think as everything was telling me I was pregnant when I wasn’t so that didn’t help x

@sunshine1987 I so get that darling. Take some time off for yourself and focus on you and not getting so stressed out about all this it's such a hard journey x x

@sunshine1987 as @Delilah7 says, take some time! It's so hard and most people won't understand... all the signs point towards being pregnant and then you get a BFN and it hurts. We're here for you xx

@sunshine1987 - sorry to hear Af turned up but as you say at least your bloods will be accurate.
Fingers crossed it's implantation but I doubt it! Just hope it doesn't mean af will turn up as my luteal phase has always been the same which is reassuring considering my cycles are always different lengths!

Sorry cross posted with your last post @sunshine1987 - I am sorry you're having such a tough time. It's so disheartening isn't it and it takes so much to pick yourself up each time. It will happen though lovely I am sure, and at least you will know the score when you get the bloods back. Xx

@cupcakesandglitter good on you for going to see the doc, it's good to get some answers and reassurance. I hope everything will be fine for you all the same.

@cookiewaffle oh that's amazing news! Let us know as soon as you test again and we want a pic of that line!

@mrsR16 different signs to normal could be a good sign! Fingers crossed!

@sunshine1987 @delilah7 sorry you're feeling low, TTC is so hard and those months you see all the signs pointing to it and then being disappointed is the hardest thing. Get those blood tests done @sunshine and get your reassurance, and @delilah7 chin up, positive thinking and wait it out!

@flapjackered wow that's a big dip, how long is your LP usually? How big is the AF dip normally? Hope it is implantation and not AF!

@rachael321 I organised my work Xmas do last year and same, people don't realise how much work you put into things, try not to take it personally. It sounds like as you say, it went really well, maybe you're over thinking it?

I'm unsure this time, I'm about 5dpo, my nipples are really sensitive (which I have had before but not every cycle) but I also have a funny taste in my mouth, and unusually have needed to get up in the middle of the night to pee for the last 3 nights now. I can't decide if it's as I'm maybe drinking more (my cough still hasn't gone) but peeing more is an early sign too right? I have also been much more bloated than normal! But then I've eaten lots of carbs...

I'm hoping with all my might that all the sex this month has worked, but I can't help but feel this isn't gonna be the month. We will see!

@Crossfitgirl I'm trying. Just giving up abit tbh xxx

@Crossfitgirl LP is normally 13 days with af starting on 14dpo, so it is pretty early. It will be so depressing if it is AF. I haven't got the normal cramps yet so I don't feel as if AF is starting but I could be wrong?
I didn't sleep that well so that could have affected it slightly but I often sleep badly and it doesn't seem to affect the temp normally. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Tomorrow will tell I guess!
Those symptoms sounds promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 but 5dpo is early so I am not sure when it is possible to see symptoms?

@Charm23 I asked DH to hide the tests this morning, and I have already found them! 🙈 he just shoved them in his wardrobe! I think I am just going to have to rely on willpower. Although if this temp drop is af I may not have to test anyway!

@flapjackered that is pretty early, I hope it's just a fluke temp. Normally if I don't sleep well the temp goes up rather than down... maybe you slept with your mouth open or something and it's cooled your mouth down? Sounds daft but hey.

Yeah 5dpo is far too early tbh it's just wishful thinking. My luteal phase is so short though, I'm hanging onto hope! Lol. During my masses of googling of short LPs I have read people getting their bfps at 7dpo! But... I'd have to have implanted at like... 2 or 3 dpo for it to be pg symptoms!

Aaaanyway, my temp is slowly going down at just 5dpo and I'm only 0.4 away from the coverline so if it drops any more then im probably out too. Worried my eggs aren't good enough to produce the amount of progesterone needed for a pregnancy. I wonder what my progesterone test came back as... doc should have results soon. chart has been stupid this month, I think I might invest in the natural cycles thermometer after all. Can you only get them off the natural cycles website?

Also @flapjackered that is very poor effort at hiding tests. Very poor!! Men eh! I say next month don't even have any in the house, so you have to actually go out and buy one on AF day. I only have one test in the house so I don't feel I can waste it too early as I'll then have to go get one for the actual due day! Lol

@Crossfitgirl yes i think you can only get them on the website.
Fingers crossed for you! When is af due for you again?
I am sure your eggs are fine! What makes you think they are not good? How long ago was your blood test can you not ring them up and get the results now?
I know he is useless! Saying that I probably shouldn't have looked for them! 🙈 I have a stash of clearblue digital ones which I hoarded after the clinical trial. I am pretty good at not using them as I know they are not that sensitive so I haven't been tempted by them but it is just the cheapies and the one frer I have. I don't trust the cheapies anymore though as I got a false positive once so I should probably just bin them!

Hi girls sorry took a breather, congrats to @ cookiewaffle and hi again @cupcakesandglitter

Busy few days with my pregnant friend down to visit, I did well for the most of it got a bit emotional during our girly afternoon tea it's just hard as obv weve been trying now for 9 cycles and and Shes now 20 weeks. for the most of it im so excited for her but then the ugly jealously wades in. So it was hard but good at the same time.

@Crossfitgirl when will you test I'm 5dpo too but have notoriously long LP I'm really hoping all the sex has worked proud of ourselves for Sticking to SMEP 90% of the time !

Whos still in this month? when are the rest of you due af? Think i will probs test around the 7/8th(14dpo) I got lots of cheapo so see how we go.

Hope you've all had a good weekend and enjoyed the extra hour yest

@flapjackered why didn’t I hoard?! I sent them all back, doh! x

@delilah7 @mrsr16 @flapjackered @crossfitgirl thanks girls 😘 really appreciate it. I’ll be ok tomorrow and be ready to hit the ground humping x
