TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO. 9

[stormtrooperjulian]

We’re almost at the limit on thread no.8 so I thought I’d start a new one before that one fills up

@cupcakesandglitter @MrsEG @Delilah7 @crossfitgirl @DayDreamer1707 @FlapJackered @sunshine1987 @FivexFive @GemmaJen @daisiesandpeonies @KatBeCool

Sorry to anyone I’ve missed 😘

@MrsLBear it's frustrating isn't it :( and such a lonely time! Like you glad to have this group of ladies to chat to, helps my sanity!

@Delilah7 Ahh hope you’re doing great!!

It feels like everyone is having a bit of a rubbish time lately and I'm so sorry for that.

I had a brownish blood clot today and literally no bleeding for the past two days...so confusing. Which will mean I've have the lightest AF ever. I'm hoping this just means it's the end of my AF. But still having slight cramps, just wish I knew what my body was doing 😫.

Think we all need a large glass of wine 🍷

@MrsEG thanks Hun. I'm managing. 10 weeks 2 day. Sickness is whenever it wants and doesn't have a routine but I'm ok. Scared about 12 week scan on New Year's Eve as haven't seen baby for two weeks or so! You ok? X

@Delilah7 You poor thing - my sister had HG for months. It wasn’t pleasant even to watch! FX crossed for your scan, what a lovely way to start 2019 :) All good here! Still no BFP yet but feeling much more relaxed about it all - it will happen when it happens.

@MrsEG i hate saying it but when you relax it does happen. Did for me anyways! Honestly I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not big any way! So there is no bump yet :((((

@Delilah7 it's great to hear from you!! I'm sorry about your sickness, but fingers crossed it goes away soon! Xx

Hi ladies... tomorrow I am 9/10dpo and will be taking a test! Might just use an IC tomorrow and then save the FRER for Friday as we're going away on Friday and I'd like to know either way. Symptom wise I've had some stabbing pain in my uterus area that went on for 24 hours but has gone today and my boobs are slightly, slightly sore to touch. I've also got awful indigestion this evening and a couple of spots on my chin (which isn't unusual before AF). I'm going to be devastated if this isn't our month. This is cycle 6 and I'm so desperate for a baby 😔. Hope you're all doing well x

@cupcakesandglitter I love your mid-week wine and cheese night! 😂 sounds perfect and definitely the vibe I am going for this month. I might add that one to my list along with @KatBeCool 's chocolate martinis! 🍸

@EltzBee I have had that problem with DH too with struggling to get to the finish line when he knows it's ov. I do feel sorry for them in that way, as it's easier for us to have sex when we are not in the mood than it is for them. DH said the same thing to me about wanting to know when, but last cycle I didn't tell him when I got my positive opk until after sex, then he did struggle the next day but i felt better knowing we had managed it (and the sex was much better!)

@Delilah7 ❤️❤️❤️

@MrsAW2018 good luck hun!! Keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

TMI but had a big dollop of CM today so think I am coming towards fertile time. Going to try and just do every other day now until temp rises. But not going to stress too much if it doesn't work out. Feeling very zen about it all this month! 🙃

Evening ladies. Just got home from work and been feeling odd last couple of days, headaches mouth tastes odd, today so bloated and gassy. Decided randomly to do an OPK just now can I have your thoughts? Apps show I should be about 5/6 days post ovulation. I'm so new to all this sorry!

The culmination of the night... Chocolate Martini!

@Crossfitgirl tagging you because you wanted to see it 🙂

@MrsH497 this looks like you haven't ovulated yet? What CD are you? Are you temping?

@katbecool 😍😍😍😍😍 looks amazing!!!

Thank you @FlapJackered so nervous! Xx

@KatBeCool OMG that looks like Christmas in a glass...is it bad I want one at 8:45 in the morning 😋

@MrsAW2018 how have you got on testing...FX xxx

Look like AF might have finished...nothing again all night and this morning. Literally just had the brownish clot yesterday and that's it 🤨

@DayDreamer1707 well I've just done the IC test and I feel like I can see something very very faint... not sure whether to do the FRER I've got now😩

@MrsAW2018 do you want to share a pic? Those FRERs are expensive and always better with FMU - try and hang on til tomorrow morning! FX for you!

@DayDreamer1707 How strange - so sorry you’ve had such a weird AF this month. At least she’s over with now and you can just crack on with your next cycle!

@MrsEG I don't think it will show up on camera, if it's even there at all 😔 my eyes might be deceiving me. I have some fmu left as I collected it in case I needed to do a FRER... I have 4 to do this cycle so I'm tempted to do it now!!

Hi guys, I started using the clearblue digital ovulation tests yesterday. Yesterday was low fertility, today is high fertility. Any idea how long the high fertility will last, from your experience e.g. do I need to get cracking every day from now? Or does it just depend for each person? I'm CD8 and cycles have been around 28 days recently

@MrsAW2018 totally up to you!! If you just can’t wait and have some to spare then why not :) Just remember 10dpo is still early so don’t be disheartened if you don’t see a line, you have a few more days yet! I’ll keep my FX!

@starkid I use CB - from solid smiley I usually DTD that day and the following day for luck ;)

@MrsEG I think it's the end anyway if it was even AF it was so light and random.

@MrsAW2018 get your picture posted on here xx

@MrsEG going to be strong and wait until tomorrow... it's still very early days. A bfn is so heartbreaking. According to my last few LPs I should be due my period over the weekend. But I'm so irregular who knows 😩

@MrsAW2018 Good for you! I totally agree. BFNs are hard work even if you know you’ve tested too soon. Try and hold out and we’ll all keep our fingers crossed for you now!

@MrsEG - Thank you :) It's the flashing smiley at the moment so not peak... am guessing just every other day or something for now?
