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 😘

@DayDreamer1707 @EltzBee @MrsAW2018 apparently they're a common fault on new FRERs 🤷🏻‍♀️ OPK is negative too - I also see progression before my positive, so really weird to have got a positive yesterday 😩 my ultrasound for PCOS is tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get some answers. I've already had a drink this month and think I'll carry on and not test at all now... getting really fed up x

@starkid @MrsR16 it's OK 😊 I'm going to focus on being positive and try not to stress about it. I have put alot of pressure on myself over it I don't mean to but you just do!
Been trying for a while now with no luck so I think I'm off to see the doctors get us both checked out and see what happens from there xx

@cupcakesandglitter that is really odd about that opk then. Unless it was faulty. Good luck with your tests!

@cupcakesandglitter was you using the OPK as a kind of pregnancy test? Think I've missed something here? x

Thanks @KatBeCool and nope @DayDreamer1707 I had a positive OPK last night even though I was still spotting from AF and was only CD7. Tried a FRER today just in case but it was negative, did another OPK and it's negative too x

@cupcakesandglitter why are things so complicated for us all. I can't wait for my next cycle now for a fresh start as I don't think it's happened for me this cycle. I hope your appointment tomorrow helps you, it's difficult enough without PCOS X

@cupcakesandglitter aw hun, sorry to see the BFN! Weird hey?

@MrsAW2018 ooh, fingers crossed for you!!!

@MrsLBear hey lovely, I'm not doing anything other than BDing as much as possible and hoping for the best! If I don't get pregnant this cycle or next, then I'll consider doing OPKs I think.

@Caz85uk good luck Hun - keep us updated with what docs say!

@cupcakesandglitter strange that you got a +ve opk so early in your cycle! I’ve had a white line on a frer before too, really annoying.

@DayDreamer1707 sorry you’re having a rough day! Are you feeling any better this evening?

@Caz85uk sorry about af arriving, fingers crossed for you for next cycle

@GemmaJen I just made the mistake of looking at that age and fertility calculator. Wow that was depressing 😂😂

@EltzBee fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow!

I’m assuming that I’m 1dpo today based on my standard cycle pattern and ov pains, even though I never got a +ve opk. On to the tww!

@MrsLBear I'm CD16 today and got my positive OPK yesterday on IC. I have a clear blue but it was a blank circle yesterday so I was a bit confused lol. I think mine might be faulty😩. Yes this is our first month doing SMEP, fingers crossed it works for us both!! This is cycle 6, how about you? X

@cupcakesandglitter that's annoying when they're not cheap to buy!! was there at least a fairly dark line on the IC? I hope your ultrasound goes okay tomorrow. I have PCOS so here if you need to chat about it! Which cycle is this for you again? X

@MrsR16 thank you! You too ☺️ x

Bottom OPK is the one I took with the HPT earlier... top one I took an hour ago. I give up 😂

@stormtrooperjulian think it’s a sign I must be getting the visit of AF soon. Hopefully il feel better tomorrow. At the moment I could cry at anything or just snap 🙈. Welcome to your TWW, this is my first and don’t think I’m handling it the best x

@cupcakesandglitter could it be a dodgy batch?

@MrsLBear definitely not, this is the only batch I have that always gives me clear results lol x

@MrsAW2018 did you do them at the same time? Erm well we stopped using contraception late June but I'd say really this is our first month of really tracking it via temps and OPKs. If you ask me I'd say since June and my DH would say this month 😂
Have you got positive clear blue OPKs before? I tried ICs last month but didn't have any luck (sorry if I've said this my head is mush atm!)

My God this 2ww is long!!!

@cupcakesandglitter my opks are all over the shop this month too!

@ValidUser how annoying is it!!! I'm just getting pissed off - and I'm only CD8!!!!

Hello!
First timer here! Husband and I are TTC our first. Not really doing much other than apps to work out fertile period and making the most of them. Just got back from honeymoon due period on 22nd so a few weeks until I can test I assume.

@cupcakesandglitter that's so frustrating because it seems like conflicting results!
Hopefully it levels out though and you start get clearer results. It's so frustrating when things don't work properly. It's hard enough as it is!

@MrsH497 welcome!!! 😬 hope you had a lovely honeymoon!! How long are your cycles normally?

@MrsLBear average of 24 or 25 days.

Honeymoon was incredible! Didn’t want to come home!

@MrsH497 good evening! Welcome to the craziness that is this thread! Congratulations on your honeymoon! Hope you had the best time ever!! Where did you go?

@cupcakesandglitter you got it, girl! This one is your cycle! Try not to let it get at you xx

@Farhana170 when is AF due?

@MrsR16 thanks! We went to the Maldives it was heaven. New to this TTC lark so working out when to take tests etc both just enjoying the trying at the moment

Thankyou @MrsLBear @MrsR16 hopefully I get some answers tomorrow x

@MrsH497 there's a lot of ladies on here who will openly admit that TTC has taken over their lives! My advice is to enjoy the BDing as much as possible!! 😂

@cupcakesandglitter fingers crossed! 🤞🤞🤞
