TTC 1st Baby - Thread 17!

[MrsEG]

Hi everyone! I’ve started a new thread as we are dangerously close to 1000 posts in the last one! I’ll add a link to it now :) Here’s hoping it’s a lucky one!

@starkid sorry got AF. We're cycle buddies - I'm day 3. This might be our month. X

@MrsH497 and @MrsEG - Christ, I'm so so sorry to hear this has happened to you wonderful ladies. Do whatever you need to. I'm thinking of you both today. It's shite and unfair and even though it may sound weird because we're on a forum, we all love you guys. I'm not gonna say much else, because there's nothing I can say! Xxx

@ELW85 Ah, didn't realise that. Have only been temping a few months and those LP lengths (the more reliable I suppose) are 11 days.

Will test with a Frer on Monday if I don't come on that day then!

@MrsEG so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you're going through. I am glad they're going to look into it for you. I hope you get some answers. We are here if you ever need to talk about it or need support. ❤️

@Purplefig - I hear ya! We didn’t DTD on the peak day this month so I’ve pretty much counted myself out already :(

@dahlia123 - pleased I could help :) going to keep absolutely everything crossed for you, and hope you get to test!

@flapjackered, how you doing hun? X

@ELW85 ahhhh sorry to hear that. Still in with a chance if you did it around that day though! Tbh I'm kind of excited to try for a spring baby (I'm sure I won't be saying that when AF arrives 😂), and I'm just feeling generally freshly positive about the whole thing now I'm temping, have pregnacare pee and pissing around with ridiculous smoothies. Oh and look what's just arrived 🤓

MrsH497 and MrsEG

I'm sorry sorry to hear of your losses

@MrsEG and @MrsH497 I'm so so sorry ladies. I'm devastated for you both. Take care of yourself - will be thinking of you. Of course you're always welcome back here ❤️
@MrsEG Im glad you're getting a referral to start tests. I hope it all goes through smoothly and quickly, and you can get some answers soon xxx

@Purplefig - we DTD on CD11 and 12 and I think O was overnight CD13/14 so I’m hoping we’re still in with a small chance!

That book is linked to the OvaGraph site I track my cycle on :) it’s really helpful!!
I bought an OvaCue monitor when I was in the US (also linked to that site) and it’s great for insight- but if I’m honest, still needs OPKs and temping to give you a proper view of your cycle!

@MrsEG just saw your post. I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending love your way. Xxx

@Dollywilde your EWCM story made me giggle! Great that you've had lots this week. Enjoy dtd this weekend!!

Thanks @dahlia123 i hope so! I haven't had any more since, so not sure. Fingers crossed the temp drop doesn't mean much and you're still in this cycle.

@DayDreamer1707 that's a lovely line! Huge congratulations - so pleased for you!

@starkid so sorry AF is showing up.

@ELW85 I didn't DTD on peak day when I had my bfp previously (one day before and two days after) - fingers crossed you're still in!

Hope you ladies have a lovely weekend. The lovely sunshine has gone and it's just miserable and grey everywhere!
I'm 9dpo today, no symptoms really and the brown cm has gone. Only thing I can think of is that I'm needing to pee frequently even if I'm not drinking much.. 🤔

Thanks all so much ladies, love how supportive everyone is. I'm a little confused though. I had my last AF on the 19th of April but just done a clear blue and says 2-3 weeks? I thought I was only about 4 weeks, is this about right?? X

@ELW85 I'm confused - if you did it on 11 + 12 and you o'd on 13, aren't you in with a good chance? I thought day before o was best? How am I such a noob 9 months in?!

Definitely negative this morning, seems like I ovulated late and hopefully AF will show up soon.
@MrsEG @MrsH497 I m so sorry to hear of your losses.

@DayDreamer1707, I'd say that's OK. Mine was 2-3 when I first took it. If you add 2 weeks on, that's 4/5 so probably 4 from your dates 🙂

@DayDreamer1707 ah so lovely seeing it in words I bet!
From what I've read previously), the CB digital report how many weeks ago you conceived (I've attached the table from their site).
Also, don't rely on them too much. Apparently they continuously change and people have got 1-2 weeks when they're a lot further along.

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear this, will be thinking of you 💕

@LokiCat I didn't really have many symptoms apart from weeing a lot and slight cramps, FX for you x

Thanks @LokiCat so confusing!! I think it might be because I ovulate early too, I'm thinking around 10dpo which could be around 2-3 weeks ago 😘

@LokiCat - thanks for that :) you’ve definitely made me feel like we’re still in the running! And your symptoms sound really promising!! Absolutely everything crossed for you, my dear!

@purplefig - it’s not you, it’s me (haha!) I’m just defaulting to my marginally more cynical view of; if I O’d between CD13-14, we missed the peak day (CD13) so it’s not as possible as it could have been?
I realise how mental I sound as I type this...

@ELW85 hahahaaaa oh dw I think it's impossible not to lose a few marbles when TTC!! I reckon you're in with a good shout though 🤞🏼

@Dollywilde I thought exactly the same thing about ewcm at first!!
@starkid I'm in the neon pee camp now too! It wasn't disappointing 😂

@purplefig I agree about a spring baby, have to look on bright side 😊

@Lozzlepop glad Fazenda was good, defo need to get myself there soon.

So I'm cd 20 and think today is ov day, did another OPK yesterday and was a definite peak, more than thurs. also have craps and standby left sided pain. so annoying ovulating so late! So we've DTD on alternate days since cd 12, including this am after I got home from night shift 😂😂. Will aim tomorrow morning and Monday night if not too knackered and I'll essentially have SMEP'd.

@MrsEG so sorry this has happened again, hopefully your referral will find out the why's and how to have a future healthy pregnancy. Take lots of care of yourself.

@MrsH497 I'm so sorry, take all the time you need. We'll all be here when you feel ready to try again. Take care of yourself ❤️

@LikeTheFruit yeah I think spring is the best time for a baby, it's my fave time of year! Then summer. That's 6 months of potential good birthdays 😂 also, bloody well done on the post night shift shag - excellent effort! And I sincerely hope the crapping gets better 😳😂

@Purplefig - thank you!! This is such a wonderfully supportive community and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it :)

@LikeTheFruit - absolutely well done on basically doing the SMEP. It’s the TTC equivalent of an Ironman!! 😂
