Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

Thank you @cupcakesandglitter hope more than anything you get a bfp really soon. I'm still all tearful (good luck me at work!) and excited and nervous

Can I stick around a little while longer I love it here and don't feel ready for a grads thread yet!

cupcakesandglitter · 01/05/2019 10:11

@MrsH497 thankyou ❤️ and yes!! Of course!! X

Marleym28 · 01/05/2019 10:36

@MrsEG that's true, it's still early doors!

All- question- I'm 6dpo not really any symptoms (that couldn't be other things).
Today, I'm being a ratty cow. I had a great workout this morning, slept well, works ok, just few super pms'y.
I can tell I'm being short and niggly (so purposely avoiding people as it's not their fault).
Anyone encountered this? Or is it me just having an off day?

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 10:43

@Marleym28 my symptoms were odd felt like I had a cold coming bit grumpy, but didn't have any of this until literally maybe 3 days before my bfp (that still doesn't feel real)
Then got bfp and nausea has whacked me in the face today

KatBeCool · 01/05/2019 10:51

@SophWolf @fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1 congratulations, such great news for you!

@Keyboard91 take all the time you need to take care of yourself, it's most important.

Chembecky · 01/05/2019 11:31

Congratulations for all the BFPs!! We can all start a Jan baby thread...haha

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 11:48

@Tropicana1 congratulations!! What a morning 🤣

@Keyboard91 so sorry for the BFN, take care and check in soon x

dahlia123 · 01/05/2019 11:51

Opened up Mumsnet for the first time in a couple of days and it's so amazing to see all of the BFPs! Congratulations @MrsH497 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2 and @Tropicana1 😊😊😊

@cupcakesandglitter hope the pain eases soon. Fingers crossed you body returning to how it was it a really good sign for next cycle.

starkid · 01/05/2019 12:04

Wow looks like there's lots of congratulations to be had! I don't think we've ever had so many BFP's all in one go like that 🤣

Congratulations again girls 😊😊 @MrsH47 @sophwolf @Fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1

Lots of updates to be done on my list! Hopefully I didn't miss anything

@cupcakesandglitter - sorry for af xx

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 12:39

@cupcakesandglitter ah I so feel your pain, I usually have such bad periods and have leaked through a few times too! Sorry AF is here with a vengeance but hopefully like you say good that it's a full blown normal cycle.

@MrsH497 not sure if it's all in my head but I'm super bloated today, bloating by the second I swear! Also still got lots of CM, every time I feel damp I panic run to the toilet!

Going to have to tell my boss over the next few days because of lots of work place hazards with being pregnant, but doesn't feel real enough to tell anyone yet!

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 12:43

@Tropicana1 my work trousers today seem to be digging in and super tight. Going to tell work tomorrow I don't want to take any risks. Will also tell parents tomorrow I think. How are you feeling? I feel in a bubble and like it's all not quite real x

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 13:18

So @Tropicana1 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2

Anything different last cycle that you think helped with the BFP? I am guaranteed to follow what you done for my next cycle 🤣🤣

LikeTheFruit · 01/05/2019 13:32

@cupcakesandglitter sorry about AF. I feel your pain, I was horrendously bad with pain yesterday but also trying to see the positive of it being like my pre-pill days. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you!

LikeTheFruit · 01/05/2019 13:34

@Tropicana1 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2 congratulations ladies!! What cycle were you all on! Any top tips please send them my way!!

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 13:49

@LikeTheFruit very lucky on cycle 2!

@Lottiepink I was pretty unconvinced this cycle worked because DH was suffering with a low libido so I basically spent my fertile week and TWW drinking wine as I felt like it 🙈 regrets now! Don't think anything particular did it - I did spent a good few minutes with my legs up on the headboard after sex haha. Not very scientific

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 14:10

@Tropicana1 haha wine maybe worked... think I could try that one 😂

Legs up.. will try that too, I always just stay in bed for 5/10 mins usually. What days did you dtd before ov?

Having a reflective thought, how funny that it's classed as 'normal' for me to ask when you had sex 🙈🤣

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:32

@Lottiepink haha! We really didn't have much sex because DH was feeling the pressure this month with the OPKs. We DTD on the 18th evening then got my positive OPK on the 19th and DH couldn't finish with the pressure! Here's my very sad looking month of sex 🙈

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:33

That should say couldn't finish on the 19th. He obvs managed it on the 18th 😂

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:34

Poor DH, if he knew how much I was discussing his stage fright on the internet 😂

1990shopefulftm · 01/05/2019 14:37

Congratulations to all on the Bfps. Getting what I think are my ovulation symptoms today so hoping that's a good sign. Anyone else feel more paranoid about what they're eating and drinking since they started TTC? I hadn't realised how much caffeine is in tea (only been drinking coffee for months) till yesterday as I'm off work all week so got decaf tea in to be safe. Even ended up googling if meringues are safe or not.

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 14:51

@Tropicana1 haha, well that proves it only takes once!!

Lol I know my husband would be shocked to hear what we all talk about on here! 🙈😂

KatBeCool · 01/05/2019 14:56

@cupcakesandglitter you could be right and your cycles have just now normalized after the BC, it's not unusual. Sorry it's painful though, it's never fun.

SophWolf · 01/05/2019 15:01

@Lottiepink @LikeTheFruit it's my second cycle after coming off the pill in March so very surprised! This month I used seven seas ttc vits. Tried clear blue opks but got 2 days nothing then 9 days flashing before giving up (no peak) so cant match up my temp dip. Def dtd more than usual but didn't use any special lube even though I had some conceive plus in! Also didn't put my legs up and went to the loo straight away after! Genuinely didn't think it would happen this quick and think it's luck as much as anything x

Fivebyfive2 · 01/05/2019 15:49

@Tropicana1, I know what you mean, we dtd on cd11 and then I got my static face on day 13...after much drama, we dtd late that night, I put my legs in the air and my ov day was cd14 I think. Quite glad a nagged dh about dtd on that night now!! 😂

OP posts:
MrsEG · 01/05/2019 16:03

@Fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1 Just proves doesn’t it that it really does only take once to do it! Interesting you both DTD the day before ov though, perhaps theres something in that!

I messaged DH this afternoon like ‘Guess how many ladies off my thread are now preggers - FOUR!’ and his response was ‘Dont worry you will be too soon - even if I have to pound those hips to dust’ 😂😂

So thrilled for you all - I hope you are celebrating suitably tonight! I can’t remember who said it but please don’t worry about what you are/drank in the run up - when I was pg in Jan it was obviously right after the Christmas excess and she told me it wouldn’t matter one jot - you’re about 5-6 weeks before the foetus takes anything at all from you :)
