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 😘

Seriously!! Me and my vagina are no more!! Just went to the loo and had some blood, absolutely brilliant, so probably no need to do the test now. OH said the one from yesterday is pink too but was out of the time frame 😫

@MrsEG PREACH 🙌🏼 I totally agree. Talk about fairytales do come true. She must have fallen the first month! Exactly and 37! For it to happen so quickly. Either she is very lucky or the royals have super sperm. I'd like to think they had help due to her age maybe not that 37 is old by any stretch but it can be slightly more timely.

@starkid I'm planning on testing New Year's Eve too!!! We are actually cycle buddies this month! That's if I last till then. Hopefully I do (will be on holiday so hoping it's a distraction!)
So who's testing xmas day or the xmas eve?
I'm still gonna drink over xmas though cos if I don't drink and then get a bfn I will be even more depressed.

@starkid @mrslbear cycle buddy here too! AF due 29/30th and I’ll be 14dpo on New Year’s Eve so fingers crossed if no AF it’ll be BFPs all round!! I relaxed this month, no OPKs etc and I noticed I had SOOO much EWCM so fingers crossed for us all! X

@cupcakesandglitter @EltzBee @MrsLBear Yep! Every time I see her on the news all pregnant and fabulous it kills me! @GemmaJen Oh no, I don’t envy her life with all the media scrutiny at all - I’m just so jealous of her eggs (and her husband).

@DayDreamer1707 Oh hun :( So so sorry to hear it I really am. Big big hugs to you x

@MrsLBear I’m testing Xmas Day! AF is due that day so as long as she doesn’t show up that morning I’ll be testing. It is also DH birthday that day! I can’t decide if I’m nervous, apprehensive, excited or what - we really have been so chilled this month. Normally at this point I’d be symptom spotting like mad and thinking 6DPO yeaaahh let’s test just for fun. Not this month!! Haha. Anyone else on Xmas Eve/Day?

@MrsMcNtobe @starkid ah yay three of us!!!! Fx for us all!!!!!! Hopefully those Xmas day testers can set the scene with lots of BFP!
That's good though that you just listened to your natural symptoms!! Ewcm is a mega plus!

We can symptom spot together too 🤕 and drive ourselves insane. Cos I tell myself every time I won't but I do. I'm probably 0/1 DPO and I've already started haha! Tragic.

@MrsEG that's so good you've not caved and poas if you normally do! Keep going!! Xmas day would be amazing plus the fact it's your other half's bday. Bigger bonus!! Fx for you!! Sending you positive vibes!!
Think there's a few of you! Gonna be so excited to check this thread xmas day!

Also! I'm not telling DH anything cos he didn't wanna know when I was O'ing etc so just gonna keep it to myself - and you ladies ofcs! This thread is actually keeping me sane!

@DayDreamer1707 - sorry to hear that xx

@MrsMcNtobe @mrslbear - hooray cycle buddies!! makes it more exciting haha

@mrslbear I’ve just started getting some dull/grumbly pains on my left side so I’m wondering if today is O day 🤦🏻‍♀️

@MrsLBear Same! Don’t get me wrong DH has been so supportive especially when we had our early MC but I don’t really think he knows what to do with himself when I’m going mad squeezing my boobs to see if they’re sore and cramming FRERs in to every cupboard (‘they’re on offer in Boots I had to’) - keeping it all quiet this month and if (fingers crossed) we get good news Xmas day it can be a big surprise for him!! It’s acually quite fun, like having a little secret - and I totally agree it’s this thread keeping me sane and calm throughout it all!!

@MrsMcNtobe Maybe! I sometimes get a mild cramp the evening of or day after ov - DTD if you can, make the most of it!!

@MrsEG @starkid can't be my AF, was just spotting I think, along with lots of Cm and now just more CM. OH can see my frustration and stress and just made me a bath 😍

I can't wait for some of you lovies to flood this feed with absolutely massive BFP!!!!

@DayDreamer1707 Oh bless him. Enjoy your bath, you bloody need it! How do you feel generally in yourself at the moment?

@MrsMcNtobe I've had quite bad o pains this month and I have a tugging feeling today as appears to pain (like yday) and apparently you can feel "things" before, during and after O. If you haven't O'd yet then I'm sure it's imminent.

@MrsEG that really made me laugh "squeezing my boobs" honestly the things we do. I did the same last month, even had DH cop a feel to see if they were harder than usual. He looked at me like I was mad. Oh of course, my DH is super supportive and would listen if I told him and would be totally on board but in a way I feel like if I keep it to myself then I myself aren't making it a bigger deal even though in my mind it's huge. That would be an amazing surprise plus I sort of see it as I'd rather surprise them if and when that BFP comes than let them know every detail which could mean nothing.

@DayDreamer1707 jealous of your bath!! We don't have one atm and it's all I want!! Fx you get some clarity soon and are on your way to that BFP.

@mrslbear I’m trying not to google things as that’s when I become obsessed and stressed! Will DTD tonight just to be sure.. there goes my early, comfy night now I’ll be lying with my legs together trying not to let any escape 🙈😂

@MrsEG I just feel really frustrated and my emotions are all over the place. Don't really know what to do but just put it down to the MC I suppose. Hope you get a nice Christmas BFP x

@MrsLBear I'm not normally a bath person but OH just wanted me relax, I'm not very good at relaxing especially at the moment. X

@starkid fair enough x

@MrsLBear I'll be testing Xmas morning I think!

@MrsEG her eggs 😂😂 same 😂😂 I'll be testing with you too, and same here - I've not symptom spotted or anything, I don't even know what CD I am 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DayDreamer1707 oh bless him! Xx

@DayDreamer1707 I’d recommend having the mince pie warm, generally I’d just have one -or three- on its own. I like the ones with the marzipan star on top instead of pastry

I think AF might be on the way, am (possibly) around 11dpo and getting some mild cramps this evening. Also had (tmi) one wipe of pale pink spotting earlier, I thought that meant that AF was about to arrive (although any pre AF spotting is usually brown for me) but back to nothing at the moment. It’s so frustrating not knowing what’s happening! I’ve never liked surprises, and this ttc business is just one long multiple staged surprise 😐

Flo's changed my AF date!!! I'm now due in 3 days! God knows what it's done... any ideas? Xx

@MrsR16 I don’t use Flo so I don’t be know I’m afraid - do you know what date you ovulated this month?

@stormtrooperjulian FX for you, you’re not out yet! I completely agree - TTC is just of (usually rubbish) surprises!! We’re all due some nice ones!!

@MrsEG not for sure, as I don't temp or use OPKs. Flo reckoned I ov'd on 9th, but I think it might well have been the 8th, going off cramping I had. It's now saying I ov'd on 6th so AF is due Friday! I'm very confused!

@MrsR16 Oh how confusing!!! Maybe see if AF shows up this weekend and if not do a test? When was your last AF - do you have quite regular cycles?

@MrsEG regular-ish! Between 25 and 32 days. Af last hit on 26th November and finished 29th, so was a short period compared to my standard 5 day ones!
