TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO.8

[cupcakesandglitter]

Hi all - apologies if I've missed anyone out on here, I'm half asleep 😂

Morning ladies!

I need your help! The quick backstory is, I had an early MC (4+5) a month ago. ClearBlue OPKs said I ovulated on 12/11. To be honest, we didn’t really try - we (especially me) we’re still quite sad about everything but we DTD the day before and day after.

My boobs have been so sore the past few days and I did a FRER Friday which was a solid BFN. However they are so sore that I struggled sleeping on them last night, so just did another. Am I INSANE or is a faint line coming through?? I know I should jusy wait til Tuesday to see if AF comes or not but I thought I’d torture myself instead!

@sunshine1987 @cookiewaffle Wonderful stuff guys!! Congratulations :)

@sunshine1987 ahh!! Look at those words!
You're allowed to be excited, the stats are in your favour for a sticky bean. So exciting! when is your due date?
I reckon probably if you keep temping and your temp stays up for three consecutive temps it will mark your chart as triphasic.

@MrsEG I can see that line without even zooming! A tentative congratulations! I would definitely test in a few days with a lot of hope! (🎉) 🤞🏻

Gosh we are on a roll with this thread! We are losing you all! Not that I mind the reason at all!! 😄
Please can you pregnant ladies pass on some luck to the rest of us!

Yes @sunshine1987! keeping everything crossed for us both! I've already worked out due date would be 8th August. I'm feeling sooo sick today, this must be real....

@MrsEG there is a definite pink line there!

@mrseg there is definetely a line there!!!!

@flapjackered @cookiewaffle 6th August apparently. Still doesn’t feel real xx

@sunshine1987 @cookiewaffle @FlapJackered Thanks guys! I’m a bit stunned - I was so sure AF was coming and have been so upset about it!! Trying to remain cautious though, will see what happens the next few days :)

@sunshine1987 @CookieWaffle @MrsEG congratulations guys! Looks like this is a lucky thread 💗💗💗
Did you do anything different this month?

@MrsEG I can see something but I do have to squint it's very very faint! A tentative congratulations and test again tomorrow?!

@flapjackered some luck has got to come our way soon, it's got to! How are you getting on? I keep imagining my boobs are sensitive. But then I squeeze them and they feel normal 😂 flo says AF is due in 2 days!! (Tuesday) But my usual cycle length would take me to Saturday. I dont know when to test! How are you feeling? 8dpo. Too early?? Lol xx

@gemmajen maybe you haven't ovulated yet and the current EWCM is due to a second surge? Sometimes your body can gear up for ov more than once. What's your usual ov day? Or like @katbecool said maybe the temp rise is just a bit delayed. I have read it is 2 days after a lot of the time.
Although I hope in my own case it was the day after, as we only had sex on the day of my temp rise this month!! Lol.

@sunshine1987 told you!!! 😍😍

@MrsEG defo see a faint line!! Congrats x x

@stormtrooperjulian we decided not to try this month 🙈 I hate to be that person as I wanted to punch my friends in the face when they said it would happen once we chilled out but unfortunately they were right. Past months I’ve done SMEP/conceive plus/legs in air etc. This time we did it a couple of times and only because we realised we hadn’t had sex yet that cycle. Sorry, it’s the worst thing to hear xx

Thanks @stormtrooperjulian :) no not really, I'd like to say I relaxed a bit more but I really didn't. I kept off anything ttc related on the internet as much as I could tho. BD was timed (was a bit of an effort for both of us!) I used preseed twice and third time relied on ewcm. I did have house buying as a distraction but that's not been particularly relaxing!

I did make a conscious effort to lose weight since sept. Being 40 and a high BMI I thought if I could lose weight at least that might help, so I've lost a stone since sept. Whether that's helped I'm not sure but i certainly have some energy back.

@Crossfitgirl my boobs have not changed or hurt at all so far! There's still hope!

Just checking back in, huge congratulations to @CookieWaffle @sunshine1987 @MrsEG 💕 xxx

Morning ladies!
What do you think to this? It’s the darkest I’ve got? Xx

I'd personally say that was positive @DayDreamer1707

@Crossfitgirl 😂 I am the same with the boobs! They were a bit sore just after ov, now nothing. Got bugger all symptoms at the moment so not particularly hopeful but desperate to poas anyway with all these bfps.
Isn't your luteal phase normally 11 days? If so I would definitely not be able to wait longer than that! 😂
I think I will test on Friday if I can hold out!

@DayDreamer1707 that's a positive! 🎉 hurrah!!!! Get bd-ing!

Omg @sunshine1987 and @CookieWaffle I'm so so so happy for you ❤️ @MrsEG I think it's the same for you too!!!! I see it! Congrats ❤️

@DayDreamer1707 I'd say that's a positive, get on it girl! X

@FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl how do you ladies work out your LP? I have a rough idea of mine but because I don't know what day I ovulate I can't seem to work it out? X

@CookieWaffle losing a stone since September is amazing, well done!

So happy, I was starting to get annoyed! It’s actualy gone slightly darker too xx

@MrsEG I can see a line!!!

@cupcakesandglitter I can normally feel when I'm ovulating so, for me, LP is the time between that day and proper AF (not spotting). I remember you don't temp due to your schedule. What's the best you get out of opks? Do you get a positive? And how long does it last, if you do? I read you don't ovulate during the surge, so worst case, it's 48 hours after your last positive. Guessing these internal processes that are so important is so annoying.

@MrsEG Can totally see a line! Congrats!
