TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD 10!

[MrsEG]

Hey guys, running out of room on the old thread so starting a new one! Let’s hope it’s lucky number 10!! Will try and tag everyone now :)

@KatBeCool @FlapJackered @MrsEG thankyou 😁 yeah I'll double check and buy an actual FRER (or three) tomorrow 😂😂😂 gahhhhh

@cupcakesandglitter OH CONGRATS! that definitely looks like a line!!! So excited for Christmas baby!!! X

Congrats @@cupcakesandglitter wow isn't this a good christmas for you all!

Thankyou @thosethreewords @starkid - the more i think about it, the more sure I am that it's an evap, I've found threads where people have had them with Lloyd's and they've come within time too. Gonna rest in a few days I think!

@cupcakesandglitter I really hope it's not! I don't know enough about evaps tbh.

Lots of festive cheer everyone! About to have a champagne and toast all of us, BFPs and those who are still waiting for ours x

@MrsEG @cupcakesandglitter massive Christmas congratulations to you both! So pleased for you! I am monumentally out unfortunately, felt sick as a parrot and really off so thought that was a sign...and it was...but of AF not anything else! Fingers crossed for lucky 3rd cycle.

Merry Christmas all!

@MrsEG congrats, such a lovely Xmas present!

@cupcakesandglitter that looks like a BFP to me, what makes you think it’s an evap? Tentative congratulations anyway!

@Babytrain89 sorry about AF, fingers crossed for the next cycle

Hope everyone is having a lovely day.

Thankyou @thosethreewords @Babytrain89 x

@stormtrooperjulian I think just because it's so faint I can't say whether it has colour or not yet, but also because I've seen so much about them giving evaps :( x

sorry to message again...had 2 Facebook announcement of cousins who are pregnant. Put me in a right funk! I know for a fact one of them wasn't even planned either. Grrr!!

Merry Christmas my lovely ladies. Ive got the milestone, 12 weeks today x

@Delilah7 - well done that must be a relief!! Xx

@starkid massive!! Still being sick though 😂😂😂 x

@Babytrain89 eurgh sorry! It's such a strange feeling to be happy for someone but also really wish it for yourself. I was exactly the same with engagement announcements when I felt like I was waiting for DH to propose!

Eurgh family. I'm having an extended family get together; there's twenty of us for Christmas and no "kids" as of yet - I'm the eldest cousin and the only one married, my youngest cousin is last year of uni - and my mum has just said in a toast that she thinks this will be the last year that there wont be any babies.
I wanted to be like errr what? Pressure on me! Also, takes away a bit from any announcement! Probably (definitely) overthinking it but it's so annoying!

@cupcakesandglitter yay congrats!

I picked up the wrong FR ones too but the FRRR still came back BFP day after the Boots one did :)

Anymore Xmas BFPs, is that 3 we are up to now?

Hope everyone's had a good day xx

So many BFPs! Let's hope the Christmas luck keeps giving!
When is everyone else testing? I'm hoping to hold out to 5/6th Jan when I will be 12/13 DPO X

@thosethreewords I’ll be testing the 4th/5th/6th. I’m due the 4th and will be 15 dpo.

The only issue is it’s my birthday a few days before. Torn between wanting to hold out until AF and thinking it would be so nice if I got a bfp on my bday, but then would I be ok if it was negative?

I’ll see how my temperature is maybe. If it’s still high I may test.

Thanks @EltzBee ❤️ it was a stark BFN for me! I've used the other Lloyd's test just now, watched the line appear as the pee moved across 😂 still very faint but definitely darker than yesterday's... gonna go buy some FRERs now 😊

@thosethreewords it's shitty isn't it, I never would've got through it if it was for this thread. You've got all of our support here and feel free to rant away whenever, even if you feel like you shouldn't be bothered - we've all been there!!! X

@DuchessofPemberley You could be pleasantly surprised on your birthday but if it's a BFN because it's early, would you then be upset for the day? Maybe hold off for a few days and test when you were going to? Xx

@thosethreewords - My app is saying I'm due on the 2nd, so will probably test around the 3rd-4th as will be 12dpo by then, to stand a chance of an accurate positive :)
@DuchessofPemberley - same, my birthday's a few days before I'm due, but would not be many dpo so no use testing.

@cupcakesandglitter let us know how you get on with the FRER.

So I've got a confession. I'm 9dpo or according to another app I'm 8dpo and well erm I did a FRER this morning. I know it was so dumb and ofcs it was a bfn. I'm flying out to South Africa today and I didn't want to sit on the plane thinking about it non stop so I chucked it in the F bucket 🙈
Anyone else testing over the next few days?
I know this isn't our month as we DTD up to the day I got a peak and then work ramped up and we didn't DTD again (so DTD on O day). If my cycles weren't so long I'd be a bit more hopeful but it feels like I wait forever for O and then forever for AF.

@DuchessofPemberley that sounds like a good plan. If you use a FRER it could be positive at that point? I am going to try really hard to wait until AF is due but I don't know how well that will work. My DH birthday is just before that so I would love to give him a BFP for his bday, but don't want to be sad/ disappointed if it's BFN, specially because it would be probably too early

@cupcakesandglitter thanks lovely. It's typical of my mum to say something like that. She'll then act like she knew all along if I was pregnant. I get along with her so well but sometimes her tactless comments annoy me so much.

@starkid ahh so we could have some exciting announcements next week FX!

@MrsLBear are you going on holiday? Have a good time whatever you are doing. Hope it's a good distraction for you!

Do everyone's DH/ DP know when they are testing? I don't think my DH has a clue!

@thosethreewords we are going on holiday/visiting family. So it will be a distraction for sure. Shame I couldn't have avoided poas today! Thank you!!

My DH doesn't know much but I've purposely not told him. He did ask yday when I will be testing and I said 2 weeks just to throw him off.
You're right though so hard to know when to test especially if there's a big occasion coming up etc.
Oh my word has anyone seen Mrs Hinch's Instagram of her telling her family that she's pg?! Talk about teary!!!!!!

@thosethreewords my DH asks if I can test, I just tell him it's too early, this way he isn't worried.

@cupcakesandglitter we're waiting for your frer results! Fingers crossed!

FRER is a BFN.. I've bought four so hopefully by the weekend I'll have a faint line. Feeling nauseous today and really tired, no AF yet but could come over the next couple of days. I'm still holding onto some hope x
