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 :)

@DayDreamer1707 oh no!! Hopefully it's not broken cos that's an absolute nightmare!!

Sorry girls I write such essays. I just read things I can't not comment on and work is too mental atm for me to check the thread in the day. Actually so sad I check it more than I go on WhatsApp atm!

@MrsLBear I don't know as I thought I ovulated on CD6 after my positive OPKs so not sure now.

Stats for me
TTC #1 after MMC
Age 28
Cycle #2
CD11 and having a confused guess at 5DPO

DH is at his work do and I'm watching one born. Why am I doing this to myself. An old episode where a couple go for a scan (missed the start) and they see that one of the babies doesn't have a heart beat (twins) 😢😢😢😢😢

@DayDreamer1707 I don't know where I am in my cycle so honestly I feel broken too 😂 oh bless him, hope he's feeling okay!!

Oh @MrsLBear isn't it heartbreaking 😩 honestly it's so shitty - i have these dreams that play out where I'm at my first scan with DH, watching the baby move, giving birth, bringing the baby home etc etc... I can just imagine it all as if my life is some type of movie 😩 x

@DayDreamer1707 Oh no!! Oh I hope he’s okay!

@MrsLBear I can have EWCM all week or sometimes not at all! Mine tends to change all the time. I don’t even acknowledge it much tbh as it’s so unreliable!!

@MrsLBear I can’t watch it, it’s such a wonderful show but I can’t handle those levels of emotion!

@cupcakesandglitter I do too! My sister used to tell me when she was TTC she would visualise herself with a baby and just wish it to be true, she would sit there and just tell herself ‘I will have my baby!’ - and she got pregnant on honeymoon!!

I have a bit of a conundrum (also, great word!) - it is my work Xmas do tomorrow night and a typically massively boozy affair. Whilst I don’t mind having one or two in the 2WW I really don’t wanna get totally smashed. Can’t decide whether to just drive to have an excuse to avoid it?!

@MrsEG if you really don't wanna drink I would drive cos a) you then have an excuse and b) you won't be tempted to drink. Cos having a hangover is bad enough but having one when you didn't even wanna drink is the worstttttt!

@MrsEG I tried that with fertility mindfulness and yoga, hasn't worked for me 😩 lovely that she got pregnant on her honeymoon though 😊 oh also I'd drive just to save the awkwardness. That way if you'd like one you could have it but then don't have to drink too much x

Whoops I think @MrsLBear was way more sensible 😂😂😂 I'm a bad influence

👋👋 hey lovelies!!

Testing Christmas Day and hoping for the best Christmas present ever!!

Thanks for the new thread @MrsEG xx

Hi there - can I join again?

A few of you may remember me.. I got my BFP at Halloween but unfortunately I'm back as we lost our Little Pea at 8 weeks. We're not hanging about, we're trying again!

Age: 28
Cycle: Back at 1, I suppose?
CD: No idea or maybe not applicable?

We plan to be really chilled with TTC this time around but easier said than done, eh? For now I'm feeling better, I've accepted what has happened and I'm looking onwards and upwards.

Best of luck to you all. I hope someone gets a Christmas BFP too!

@Charm23 oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that! Good for you for getting back on it though! 😊 hope you're doing ok xx

@MrsLBear @cupcakesandglitter Yeah I’m thinking driving is the way to go!

@Charm23 Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I had a MC in October, I was only 5 weeks and I still found it incredibly hard. My first cycle afterwards I was all over the place but I’ve been trying so hard this month to relax and keep positive and it has been wonderful! Great to hear you are feeling so positive. Being chilled when TTC is hard as you say, but I’ve found just keeping myself really busy (and chatting to the lovely ladies in this thread!) has helped enormously. FX for you this cycle and I really hope you are doing okay

Hey @Charm23 sorry to hear that, glad you're both TTCing again though x

@MrsR16 Thanks for your kind words, my lovely. I'm doing really well considering. I sort of surprised myself as I had always assumed I'd get depressed and go off sex but after 9 days of bleeding we decided to get the ball rolling as it took 7 cycles the last time. DH and I have accepted it and it feels like it happened 2 months ago, not just 2 weeks. Life goes on xx

@cupcakesandglitter Thanks hun :)

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear that, it's not easy is it? Glad you are feeling wonderful, that's great to hear. I remember my first month TTC back in March - I was going absolutely bonkers thinking about it 24/7 and stressing myself out. This time I'm already more chilled about TTC and have just accepted that it will happen when it happens. Although it is tempting to do what worked last time but that means DTD for 8 days in a row haha! I don't think DH can take that again.

Has everybody got nice plans for Christmas? We're meant to be going to my PILs but last time I saw MIL (last weekend) it didn't end well. She chose one week after our loss to put words in my mouth and make assumptions about me!

😘

@Charm23 Absolutely - it makes the whole process much more calming and fun too! I was the same and would get myself all worked up all the time obsessing over dates and charts and symptoms, it was actually my GP after the MC who told me that stress and anxiety are the worst things to have in your life when TTC - I’ve been keeping calm ever since!!
Don’t worry too much if your first cycle is a bit all over the place, that can be the case. But FX everything is all back to normal for you in no time and you get that BFP again :)

Oh gosh, what a horrid thing to do to you at such a vulnerable time too! If you think seeing her again will be upsetting I say avoid - just fake an illness and have a chilled weekend to yourself!

@Crossfitgirl how are you getting on?! Still no symptoms? Xx

@Charm23 ohh, so sorry 😞 you're definitely most welcome here. So glad you're moving on right away.

I am so ready for Christmas but I hate the day after.

Morning ladies hope everyone is doing ok. Can't wait for Christmas Eve and to finish work!!

Can't decide if AF is trying to start feel a bit crampy bit sick and just a bit rubbish.

Have a good day

@MrsH497 Same - I finish today at 1! Then Xmas do tonight. I need it - I don’t really feel festive at all yet, we don’t even have a tree up!
Sorry you’re feeling rubbish, I really hope it isn’t AF!

So sorry to hear that @Charm23! Amazing that you're keeping positive ❤️ did you speak to your DH about what his mil said?

Fx it's not af coming. When is it due? @MrsH497

Well DH went on his works do last night and after my 3rd 13 hour shift on the trot I picked him up at midnight from the station (serious wife points I was so tired driving I felt drunk) and he was snoring and making all these really irritating noises in his sleep I was awake till 1.30 so moved myself to the sofa cos our spare bed looks like a bombs hit it. Exhausted isn't the word 😴
Jealous of those finishing today! Also have fab work do's if you've got them tonight.

@MrsEG gasp! No tree?!?! Although my mom was like that at times, getting the tree the day before and decorating it until midnight. So I saved up and got myself my own fake tree when I was like 12. It was up well before Christmas and I took all the good decorations 😊

I am so ready for the delicious foods in excessive amounts! Planning on making a Yule Log but I haven't decided on the flavor yet.

@MrsLBear well apps says any day between yesterday and tomorrow so who knows!
