TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.7

[Delilah7]

Another thread ladies ❤️

@stormtrooperjulian that's so good he went on his own!!! What a good DH!!!

@cupcakesandglitter same, be sod’s law this month we’ll both chill out and fall pregnant as a result anyway! I’m going to do the usual temping etc so I can make sure the day I do the day 21’s are accurate but going to leave all the other jazz behind this cycle x

@stormtrooperjulian that’s great he did that, must be so reassuring to know he’s on board as much as you are x

@stormtrooperjulian omg how fab of him! Good for him for taking the initiative x

@sunshine1987 I know 😂 if it happens it happens I guess! I'm going to carry on with fertility meditation and maybe some yoga too - I'm going to the gym at least three times a week (I need to lose 2-3 stone to be where I want to be) so I'm hoping looking after my body is gonna help! I stopped temping because my charts are super whacky.. how do you use yours for bloods? I was just gonna go off CD21 on my app x

@cupcakesandglitter as needs to be 7 days after you ovulate, which is why I think mine were wrong last month as I ovulated day 19 and bloods were taken day 23 so might be the reason my progesterone was so low which was showing as not ovulating? I think I might be clutching but want to make sure this time the day I test is right x

@sunshine1987 oh I didn't know that 😩 are you going to just book it for 7 days after this month? X

@cupcakesandglitter I didn’t either, was only when I asked people for help on a TTC board on Facebook someone told me that they thought my tests were done on the wrong day and explained. The more I read the more I realise day 21 only works when you ovulate day 14 with 28 day cycles, which isn’t me. At the moment it’s booked for 7 days after if I ovulate day 19 then will call and change if I don’t end up ovulating later/earlier xx

Ladies please talk me down, 9dpo and period due today (short LP) and I've just got the squintiest of lines on a frer. I am freaking out, this is exactly 4 weeks since I started bleeding from my mc

@RanchoRelaxo that sounds promising!

Ahhhhhhhh please be sticky! 😭

@RanchoRelaxo oh girl 😭😭😭😭😭 how exciting!!!!!! Congrats ❤️❤️❤️❤️ pray for our sticky beans xxxxx

@ranchorelaxo I can see that! Hope you don’t mind but did you get a negative test after your miscarriage? x

It's okay @sunshine1987 I would have asked the same! Yea I defo had a negative and it was a frer too, I've also had negative and then positive opks this month so confident this is 'new'

Thanks @ValidUser and @delilah7 I'm excited but scared haha will test again tomorrow or Sunday see if it's stronger!

@ranchorelaxo yay! Sorry didn’t know whether to ask but just incase, so happy for you 💜

@RanchoRelaxo I totally see that! X

@stormtrooperjulian wow, your DH is way better than mine! Mine still drinks and smokes... doesn't understand why I get upset about it.

@RanchoRelaxo OMG Hun! Congratulations!!! X

Omg @RanchoRelaxo I hope this is it for you ❤️ congrats!! Xx

@sunshine1987 that makes loads of sense!! My cycles are all over the place +- a week, so I'm gonna do OPKs from now to see if I can catch when I'm roughly ovulating (if I am) And then I'm going to go based off that! Thankyou so much xx

@MrsR16 I forced my husband to stop 😂😂 not in a controlling way but I gave him an ultimatum - either stop smoking and drinking, or we won't ever try for a baby. I know it seems extreme, but I'm ready now and have waited for a long time to be able to try; if he didn't want to grow up and take it seriously, I wasn't going to TTC. He's quit smoking and drinking, goes to the gym with me and is trying to be a bit more sensible. He's still vaping unfortunately, but it's better than nothing. Maybe have a chat with him? I had to explain all about how cigarettes and alcohol affect his sperm etc etc... I was smoking and drinking too but I went cold turkey and haven't touched either in months now. Also! There are tablets you can buy from Holland & Barrett that are good for reversing effects of smoking, I bought those for DH. Sorry if it's long, hope it helps xxx

@delilah7 - congratulations, how exciting!!
@RanchoRelaxo - fingers crossed!

I also used way too much pre-seed at first, was horrid! And usually make the mistake of coughing or laughing while lying down after DTD, soooo gross have used condoms for so long, and they're so nice and tidy in comparison haha

Where is everyone else in their cycle? I'm CD23, and (I think) around 5dpo, but not really sure.

@cupcakesandglitter he knows about the impact of him smoking... I wouldn't mind if he did one or the other but it's so expensive! He has to have the idea in his head to give up though - he's a bloody stubborn git so whenever I mention it, I get eye rolling and "you always moan at me!" Lol! 😂 I gave up smoking because I wanted to be in peak physical condition to be able to carry a baby. I think he forgets that sometimes.

@starkid thank you ❤️

@MrsR16 I get that, they're big man-children really 😂😂 it's taken two years of marriage for me to F I N A L L Y get through to him that me telling him my opinion is NOT me nagging at him and his chance to throw a pity party 😂

@MrsR16 oh and it is suuuuper expensive, the cost is going up again too! I actually don't know how we used to afford it xx

@starkid I'm CD 17, 2/3 DPO!

@cupcakesandglitter just gotta try and give ourselves as much info as we can so that the doctors know how to help xx

Thank you everyone, I'll let you know how the next test goes, would defo recommend pre-seed though, it is messy but it's worked for us!
