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

❤️

@Crossfitgirl huge congratulations! You christened your new house in the most perfect way! I knew it'd be a story to tell your baby! How many months was this for you?

@crossfitgirl congratulations! Man you guys all been busy on here! 40 pages... crossfitgirl what symptoms did you have. I'm currently 7dpo n no symptoms at all!

@bettythecat I felt exactly the same as you after my first few cycles, the OPKs 3 times a day and temping every morning was stressful. I stopped the OPKs and it did help take a lot of thought and pressure off. I think we've all been there at some point, sometimes you just need to not feel like you HAVE to have sex and just want it instead. Take yourself a break and enjoy yourself :-) you all deserve a happy Christmas.

@delilah7 I'm so glad it's looking like a super sticky bean for you!! I really, really hope I join you on that one 🤞🤞

@daisiesandpeonies omg you're back! How did you find the break?

Thank you soooo much everyone for the congrats. I've bought a clearblue for tomorrow so going to do it with fmu. DH was like why's the line so faint? I was like it's positive no matter how faint it is! If only he knew the woes of the many line eyes pics on here!!

For those who asked, this was cycle 8 for me, been trying since May, I am 30 (nearly 31) and have PCOS.
I was also waiting an appointment at the fertility clinic due to abnormal blood tests so I'm very tentative, I want a sticky bean.

We literally had sex once, on the day of my temp rise, on the stairs, I did lay with my legs in the air after which i don't normally do 😂

I'm also pleased to report that I did not relax!! It was the most stressful 2 weeks of my life leading up to moving house and we'd been in only 2 days, so for all you ladies worrying about relaxing, it's not always the case!

I did incidentally start my mindfulness course this month and had just started reflexology, however I definitely wasn't feeling relaxed in any way shape or form, and was actually mostly on the verge of having a mental breakdown! I think that was just coincidence. I'd only had one reflexology session before I ovulated.

Thank you all of you for all your amazing, fantastic and wonderful support, I'm so lucky to have you all! I hope it's ok for me to hang around a bit :-) I want to see you all through your Christmas BFPs!!

The worry has already started a little as i know PCOS carries a higher risk of MC so i am just hoping to god the little thing sticks Xxxxx

Also - symptoms... zero! Literally.
My temp rise and a days extra spotting to usual gave it away. In fact, what prompted my test this evening was a slightly different colour spotting - it was a bit pinker and more jelly like (sorry tmi) whereas normally it's brown and gets darker till AF.
I even feel like AF is here right now the way my tummy feels.
Its so weird!

My temp finally did something! I'm far too excited about this, lol. But I've been looking at a flat line for days. Fx it keeps going up and I did O. Hopefully because it has been so steady this is a good sign that. Justdt hope we haven't missed it, in my miserable, 'eat all of the Advent calendar' haze we didn't BD yesterday. Though in fairness I didn't eat the Advent calendar, I should get a medal for that

Anyone had a similar chart, is it looking ok?

@Crossfitgirl can't believe you only did it once, pdrfect timing! Did your Bbt rise on the same day or a few after?

Morning ladies!! Hope everyone is feeling positive today!

@crossfitgirl have you done your Clue Blue yet??? Excited for you!!!

@Gemmajen any change is a good change. Sorry I don’t Temp but I know how happy I felt when my OPKs finally showed I was positive. Keep that happy feeling up!!

Yay @gemmajen! It's so nice to see that rise isn't it! Looks like you may have ovulated yesterday! Fx they stay up now :-)
It was the actual day of my temp rise we had sex, I assume I ov'd the day before - I wasn't expecting to ovulate for another few days, so as soon as I saw the rise I was like... ah shit! Bloody missed it!! But we DTD I think sometime mid morning or mid afternoon that same day. Must have just caught the egg! We DTD on cd4 (I was still on my period) and cd15, ovulation was cd14 according to flo. So it must have just been that one time!

@daydreamer1707 yes I have! I couldn't sleep then woke up super early and had to get up and do it.

I'm a bit nervous that the FRER doesn't look any different, the line hasnt got darker 🤨but I guess it's only been just over 14 hours since I tested yesterday evening.

@GemmaJen Yay great news - so pleased your body has gotten itself back on track after MC - it’s such a relief isn’t it?!

So, apparently I have had a chemical pregnancy this month :( My GP says a faint positive is a positive, and as the bleeding started 2 days later she’s essentially confirmed it. I’m a bit of a mess as last month I also had an early MC. However she’s tried to put my mind at rest and said it doesn’t raise any future risks, but very hard not to feel so worried and anxious now. I know it sounds ridiculous but I feel like a total failure - DH sperm are clearly fine but my body just doesn’t seem to want to hang on to them :(

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am going to take a break from online for a little while and just chill out. Love to you all xx

I've decided to make a docs appointment today. I'm panicking already about everything!

I've also googled spa days when pg and you can't go in the sauna, Jacuzzi or steam room and loads of treatments can't be had - I don't know how I'm gonna hide this from my 2 work friends at all... debating cancelling it. But I really don't want to!! Lol xxx

@MrsEG I'm so sorry, thats awful. It's little comfort, but you are ovulating, it's only a matter of time before you get a sticky bean which goes the full distance. Fx for you

@Crossfitgirl that's awesome, well i guess I better get busy this morning then, lol. Bloody hope the temp stays up! If it does I'm going to be a nightmare for the whole tww

@MrsEG I'm so sorry, that must be so hard to take in. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you at all lovely, MC is so common unfortunately, I'm under no false pretence myself being only 13dpo today. And it doesn't sound ridiculous at all, we seem to bear all the responsibility for both ttc and pregnancy, but there are two of you in this together and its both of you together that count. is your DH there for you and being supportive? I hope so, and you know we will all be here for you if you need it. Sending you lots if hugs xxx

@crossfitgirl try not to stress, I know it’s hard but this early days are going to be anxious for you anyway. A positive is a positive, don’t worry about how dark a line is. Plus the CB digital aren’t as sensitive so the fact that’s showing a positive is great. How amazing is it so see it in words like that?! xx

Ah I’m sorry @mrseg, you’re definetey not a failure lovely, CP unfortunately so common and none of us would have been any the wiser was it not for wanting to test early. I’m sorry you’re going through all this, I’m keeping everything crossed for you xx

@Crossfitgirl easy said than done I know, but enjoy this and relax!! A line is a line and it literally says YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear this, you are having the worst time. Try not to put pressure on yourself. You can clearly get pregnant and things may have just not be right and your body was doing it's job. Get a take away and some wine, put a RomCom on and get snuggled up on the settee, have a break and look after yourself xx

4DPO and have an event to attend tonight, going to have some fun with my work friends and enjoy my weekend getting in the festive mood. We all deserve to enjoy Christmas and what will be will be...Positive thoughts all around and don't forget to BE YOU and live a little along this crazy journey of trying to conceive 💕
