TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO.8

[cupcakesandglitter]

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

@FlapJackered @BabySquid @BambiOnIce80 @CookieWaffle @Crossfitgirl @Delilah7 @MrsAW2018 @MrsC87 @MrsR16 @EltzBee @FivexFive @ValidUser @RanchoRelaxo @rj995

❤️

Don't panic everyone 😂 - I have decided to risk it and wait for tomorrow morning. I think it's unlikely to happen that quickly. 🤞🏻
So happy for the static though! The end of smep is in sight, thank God!! 😂

@FlapJackered so my prediction about the 18th is quite correct!

On the other hand, getting some spotting. That sucks, AF must be here and that leaves me with 26 day cycle and only 11 day luteal phase. But my temps never went down. Stupid body.

Question ladies..How much can taking your temp an hour and half early affect the reading?

Morning all!
Avoided this thread while on AF, but now finally start what felt like the longest drawn-out ttw & af ever, am back on CD9 to start some major dtd-ing! Have sent DH out to get me proper conception vitamins too, after inspecting what he's been taking.
Random question, I couldn't see anything online about it but I know women are meant to avoid too much vitamin a when TTC/pregnant, but what about men? Am thinking it's fine but...

Glad to hear the threads resident pg ladies are doing ok :) fingers crossed for everyone this month!

*finally after the longest...

AF due yesterday... tested this morning and a resounding BFN!

@SenoraSurf @starkid Hi! Good luck for this month. 5 weeks 1 day today and still don't "feel pregnant" (if that makes sense) so don't lose hope because of that. There are conception vitamins with the men's and women's one in one box so that's pretty handy. I think it's Pregnacare His & Her Conception

@FlapJackered Good luck! You and hubby can relax soon!

@KatBeCool Do you usually spot or just bleed all at once? It might not be AF if your temps didn't drop, right?

@mrsof20118 It can lower it a bit but you can use an adjuster if you want to even it out a bit whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php

@Rachael321 You're not out until the witch shows up! I didn't get my bfp until 15dpo and 5 days late, it was all bfn and unclear until then

Room for 1 more?

Looking for support or distraction - I feel like I'm getting obsessive already!

Age 30
MMC at 8w, discovered 11w.
TTC #1
CD 12 post MMC

We were incredibly lucky to get BFP in September after our first month of trying, but it wasn't meant to be. Just had med management 12 days ago after MMC was identified at first scan. It seems to have worked, no tissue left after second scan, bleeding mostly done. The whole process has made me realise just how much I want a baby. It doesn't help that my sister is pregnant due in June just after we would have been due. It's been a tough couple of weeks, but I'm trying to focus on getting a BFP. I know there's no certainty to when that might happen, but I'm winding up my DH by researching and tracking and it's only been 2 weeks! I'm sitting on my hands trying to hold of taking a HPT till Monday, took one on the 12th and it was still a strong positive. So just waiting as don't want to use OPK's till it's down. Started BBT tracking in the meantime.

This is such an emotional rollercoaster, I can only imagine what TTC for a number of cycles must feel like!

@GemmaJen Welcome to the group! Sorry to hear about your MMC, I hope you get some much happier news very soon

@SophiePie yeah most of the time, rarely she shows up unannounced.

AF is here. So upset. This month looked so promising.

@stormtrooperjulian had a long chat with him about it last night, just unsure of where to go from here really. TTC is bringing me down a hell of a lot more than I thought - I don't feel like me right now because all I want is a baby... hopefully things will sort themselves out over time x

@KatBeCool Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get some time to relax and take it easy. It'll be a new start in two weeks

Oh wow I miss checking on things yday evening and it's been so busy!

So finally got my big temp rise this morning, not totally clear if I Ov'd yday or day before. We dtd Thursday evening and will try to DTD again today just in case...hmm wonder if it's wrong to jump on DH whilst coffee is cooling down LOL.

Might pop my chart up later yo get you ladies thoughts.

@Hadaley so sorry to hear your news.

@FlapJackered oh even with my DH he takes them because I literally get the vitamins out and dish them out to us both! He got stroppy yday cos I wouldn't let him put the heated seat on in the car

@KatBeCool ah hun. Look after yourself today, it hurts so much when she arrives after thinking it stood a chance especially. Sending hugs, get the hot water bottle and ice cream and have your other half look after you.

Thanks @EltzBee and @SophiePie. I guess tonight is cocktails time. Here's to the next month, a right before Christmas baby. It'll have a high chance of sharing my birthday.

Hey girls!

TTC1
Cycle3
CD14

Since coming off the pill I’ve had a 42,28 and 25 day cycle. Period was only 3 days this month, Ovia says fertile weeks ends today, Flo days ovulation tomorrow and Clue says 2 more days of fertile week 🙈

Was giving up OPKs this month because I was getting obsessed. Don’t CB digital one this morning and cheapy - both negative 😭

Not had any EWCM just some really cloudy/creamy CM. Can anybody else relate? To be honest I think I’ve somehow missed my window!

@MrsMcNtobe I wouldn't worry about EWCM. I got pg last month and had no EWCM at all. I did use a fertility lube though called Conceive plus so that may have helped.
Good Luck 💕

@KatBeCool so sorry AF turned up and early. That happened to me last cycle and it is so frustrating. I hope you have got a good weekend planned to make up for it.
Looks like you're going to be spot on with your prediction! Wise wise woman!

@purplefig Thanks lovely. ❤️ Feeling a bit better now I have had my static smiley.

@stormtrooperjulian good idea re Christmas distractions!

@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear about the job but I am a strong believer that these things happen for a reason and maybe it wasn't meant to be?

Welcome @GemmaJen so sorry to hear about your MMC that must have been so tough. I hope you're looking after yourself and not putting too much pressure on yourself too. 💐

@EltzBee make hay while the coffee cools! 😂
We love a chart post away!!!

Hi @MrsMcNtobe I am the same with irregular cycles - such a pain isn't it! Opks are really useful when you're irregular to know when is the right time but also v stressful if it goes on and on with only negatives.

I had another positive opk this morning which I am guessing is coming down from the surge. We Dtd this morning but have good friends staying tonight.
I want to Dtd tomorrow morning to cover bases but what do we reckon is the etiquette for sex when friends are in the next door room? We would obviously try to be quiet but the walls are pretty thin. 😬 I don't want to miss the chance though?

@FlapJackered etiquette or not, you just do it. If they say something, just say "Shut it, I'm ovulating" 😂. But yes, be quiet, all you can do.

Still no sign of AF. Seen on another thread that someone got their BFP 4 days after AF was due and had BFNs all the way up until then. Would be very nice if that was the case here! Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday afternoon!

@FlapJackered well no BDing cos DH is tired....doh.

Right charts attached! Have done this month's and also an overlay with last month's and OPKs for this and last...temps have all been taken right after waking, just I wake up different time some days!

@EltzBee I think by looking at that you O on Thursday!

Sorry all missed so much yesterday, work is taking over my life a little atm. Just flicking through and my post would be to mammoth to catch up on everything! But welcome newbies and much love to you all!!

Im Officially 1DPO....here comes the TWW. Come on Mother Nature do your thang!!

@FlapJackered we're staying at friends this evening, luckily we're not needing to dtd just yet, so won't make ourselves unwanted guests. But we wouldn't say a word if we heard our friends BD - it is their house after all! Can't say we wouldn't make awkward jokes in the morning tho

@SullyWifey yeah I think Thursday looks like when I probably O'd too, on CD17. So now 2DPO if that's correct.

Glad to have a 2nd opinion. Last months was much clearer to spot!

In to the tww for me too then now! Feel less annoyed at DH being tired now

Need to book blood tests for between day 2 and 5 so should be able to do that next week now my ovulation has happened.
