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 :)

@MrsEG thanks for including me in the new thread. Happy Christmas everyone! Sorry I’ve not been around, been busy with Christmas stuff, but it looks like there’s been some good news! Haven’t read all 15 pages yet, but congrats!

Nothing to report here...AF came and went. Only DTD once since then as been busy with family visitors and lots of cooking.

Feeling super broody though, which is unusual for me, but we’ve talked to a couple of friends about TTC in recent days, and a friend’s little girl was being very cute and cuddly with me at church on Christmas Day. 😍 she sat on my hip all through “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”...maybe by next Christmas I’ll have one of my own to cuddle!

My stats:
Age 38 (eek)
Cycle 4
CD 10 - I think- (can barely work out what day we’re on....)

@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear about the bfn! Fx that line appears for you over the next few days!

@cupcakesandglitter sorry about the bfn, fingers crossed for you xxx

@MrsLBear @DuchessofPemberley thankyou, not letting myself get upset yet! I'll wait a few days/AF comes xx

@mrsEG congratulations and @cupcakesandglitter oh my goodness I just read this on the edge of my seat. Try a frer again tomorrow and let us know. Crossing all my fingers and toes! Xxx

@cupcakesandglitter fingers crossed for you.

Had the family over yesterday but we kept our bfp a secret and just to ourselves. Feeling SO bloated, constipated and gassy still. Keep telling the little bean to be sticky and hold on tight.

@Delilah7 Fantastic news, congrats! Have you had your scan?

@MrsLBear Oh bless you. At least you now have a holiday to take your mind off things!!

@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear that - maybe try again in a few days time?

@Scotslass55 Very best of luck with this cycle!

@Crossfitgirl Thanks hun!

Hope everyone had a super day yesterday. We were just with close family so we told them the news, they know it’s early days but everyone cried, it was lovely! I feel okay at the mo, very bloated and gassy with almost a tight feeling in my abs, and need to pee a lot, but other than that okay! Boobs still sore but no more than they have been. I’m all out of FRERs so gonna get some tomorrow just to look at line progression!!

FX for all you ladies testing between now and New Years!!

Thanks @MrsEG @EltzBee @Crossfitgirl I had my BFP yesterday on a Lloyd's test which I think is more sensitive than a FRER, but I'm just gonna wait a few days :) xx

@cupcakesandglitter will you test again tomorrow? Fingers crossed for you

@Scottslass55 we’re at about the same point in our cycles... I’m on CD8. When do you usually ovulate?

@Delilah7 that’s great news, when is your scan?

@stormtrooperjulian I don’t really know! I’m not temping or testing or anything. Just baby dancing! Last month I had some bleeding for the first time on CD 17 or 18 which may have been ovulation bleeding. Prior to that I would have estimated CD 12 or 13. But I’m a novice with all this! Or possibly niaive....!

What cycle are you on? What are you doing?

Scan is New Year's Eve. Really struggling with feeling low and abit depressed though. This sickness nausea and food adversions ( smells ) are killing me. I can't do anything normal! x

@MrsLBear have a great time!
@KatBeCool good tactics!
@cupcakesandglitter - pardon me for being a bit dense, but how come that happens? Is one type of test more sensitive than the other? Because I could definitely see a line yesterday!

@stormtrooperjulian yeah I'm gonna test every day up to Sunday if AF doesn't turn up. Not sure what I'll do after that x

@thosethreewords yep! So I think Lloyd's tests from 10 but FRER are 12.5. I have two possibilities I think; first is that maybe I had a false positive on the Lloyd's, or the second is that maybe I'm very very early and Lloyd's can pick them up but FRERs aren't quite that sensitive yet x

@cupcakesandglitter hope you get a clear BFP.

Currently on CD17 and 11DPO, AF could arrive either the 28th or the 5th. Not sure how this cycle end ha.

@cupcakesandglitter I thought frer was 6? Ahh, why can't they all just write on the box.

Thanks @DayDreamer1707

@KatBeCool is it really? :( likely I've had a false positive then

@Scottslass55 I’m on cycle 6. Just planning on dtd every two days for a couple of weeks this cycle, started that on Monday. I’m expecting to ovulate around New Year’s Day, I don’t temp though as I’m a really restless sleeper so I don’t think it would work for me.

@cupcakesandglitter I think the FRER is 6 but maybe the other test picked it up cos you tested first thing in the morning with that and the FRER was was later on in the day.

@stormtrooperjulian I did it from the same sample pot 😶

@cupcakesandglitter how many DPO are you? I read the latest people got their positive was 16 DPO. Don't waste a test every day, just wait. Not testing early won't take anything away.

@KatBeCool I have no idea 😩 I'm CD30 - I had EWCM on CD17, so even if I ovulated then I'd be 13DPO today. So shit because me and DH have been so happy and so ready thinking I'd had my BFP but just starting to feel deflated about it now.

@cupcakesandglitter it still might be too early. Ewcm can appear before, during, and after ovulation in a span of over two weeks. I'd just wait without tests. You went the whole month without poas and extra worries, give yourself the same treatment now.

Hi guys, I'm currently 11dpo, I tested yesterday at day 10po and got a negative.

I feel like my stomach is heavy and as if I'm not going to go on my period but I might be paranoid.

When do you think I should test next? Tempted to test tomorrow at 12dpo but don't know if it's worth it?

What do you think?

Hi guys, can I join?
Age 28, TTC #1. Had a MMC in October after unexpectedly falling pregnant, now realised we're ready and I want it more than anything 🤗 DH agreed to properly start trying now.. only just finished my first AF after the MMC last week so hoping I don't have 9.5 week long/ongoing highly irregular cycles now! Was on a MC thread which has been so helpful however it's starting to make me overly worried and anxious about having more problems this time.. so decided to join this thread which feels positive! I was charting bbt but I found I was getting obsessive so stopped it and just going to see what happens.. hoping for a bfp ASAP 🤞

Yeah @KatBeCool you're right, I'm stressing myself out after having such a relaxed few weeks. Thanks x

@MrsEG congratulations!

@cupcakesandglitter give it a day or so, hoping you get your BFP.

I'm enjoying Christmas wine and food and testing in the morning! (Unlikely, but this woman is a hoper!)
