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!

@DayDreamer1707 I am so sorry I completely missed your BFP, congratulations - wishing you such a happy healthy 9 months.

Thank you all for your lovely messages you are wonderful x

@DayDreamer1707 sounds like it's all on track then! 😊 very happy for you!
Thanks re symptoms! I'm making myself crazy by questioning every symptom or questioning when I don't have any symptoms 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ELW85 thanks ❤️ and no worries! I know how easy it is to doubt everything whilst TTC. DH always just tells me to wait and see rather than questioning/being cynical about everything. They don't seem to understand that it's not that easy!!

@purplefig I was using the NHS calculator last night to work out due date if I was to get a bfp this cycle - the baby would arrive end of Jan, just before my birthday which I was very pleased about. I think DH thought I had gone mad getting excited about something that may not happen 🙈😂

@LikeTheFruit well done with your SMEP efforts around your work schedule!! Seems like bloody hard work but fingers crossed it's all worth it! 🤞🏽 hope you get some well deserved rest now xx

@MrsH497 so so sorry to hear this news lovely, having just been there I know how hard it is! Take care of yourself xx

@DayDreamer1707 congratulations 🥳 look at the colour of that line!!!

@MrsEG so sorry hun, sending lots of love your way!

@LikeTheFruit yes deffo get yourself along- wear leggings to allow maximum food intake 😂😂 good effort on SMEP we DTD this morning, the urge is starting to come back 😂 so looking forward to our little night away tonight!

@MrsEG - I’m so sorry, please take care of yourself ❤️

@MrsH497 - I’m really sorry, please look after yourself and be kind ❤️

@purplefig 😂😂😂 ahaha I meant craMps!!!

@LikeTheFruit a subtle, yet vital difference! 😂

Actually posted on the infertility board. Started my Gonal F today. But I still maintain I'm not infertile, just tubally challenged.

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to read that, I hope you get some answers and please come back to join us when you're ready ❤️ xxx

@MrsEG @MrsH497
So sorry for you both, awful news to read. Sending my thoughts to you both 😘

@MrsEG @MrsH497 so sorry to read this ladies . Look after yourselves. @MrsEG I hope you get some answers and help soon. Xx

OPK question ladies, I’ve just received my new supply which came with a handy instruction leaflet which says to allow your urine to reach room temperature (approx 20 mins) does anyone do this?!

Just came back on here to check in after being away for work all week and am so sad to read your news @MrsEG @MrsH497 . Losing a pregnancy is just totally heartbreaking. Allow yourself enough time to grieve for what you have lost. @MrsEG I hope you are able to get some proper answers and help and you won't be put through this awful pain again. Sending you both lots of love.

@DayDreamer1707 congratulations on your lovely line. Xx

@Lozzlepop are you sure you aren't misreading it- I think it says to allow the test sticks to go to room temperature not the actual urine?! I definitely never do that if it is the urine 😂😱

@Bettythecat well that’s what I thought at first but no it says the urine 😂

@Lozzlepop - every set must have a different approach? Might be there a while though 😂

@ELW85 hahaha I know, it’s the same ones I bought last time but never got these instructions 😂 think I’ll just ignore that part 👌🏻

@Lozzlepop can't say I've ever done that! I'm too eager to test as soon as I pee 😂

Definitely ignore it!! If they worked before, it’s not going to matter now 😊
Who sits waiting for 20 mins?!?!

@LokiCat I know it’s bad enough waiting 10 mins for the result 😂

@Lozzlepop oh goodness you're quite right! I never wait and never had an issue so I would say don't bother!!

Had some more pink spotting when I wiped.. I really hope AF isn't showing up early 😩 have never had spotting before.

@ELW85 yes you're right, it is a really supportive community. I think TTC can feel like quite a lonely, isolating time so it's great we have each other to lean on.

@LokiCat you aren't going mad - I have seriously considered the negatives and positives of all my potential due dates . Could pink spotting be implantation bleeding? How many DPO are you?

@MrsEG so sorry to read your news

Ladies thank you so much for every message it has been comforting. I know it's not unusual to go through but my god the heartbreak. Seeing DH cry texting his mum absolutely broke my heart. We are doing ok. Not too much pain thankfully not really sure what to expect

@lokicat @purplefig I have a spreadsheet with columns for AF starts, estimated ov, test date, 12 week point and due date for the next 12 cycles I haven’t even admitted that to DH....

Sending lots of love to you both @mrsh497 and @mrseg

I'm out ladies :( AF has come 5 days early.. I must have ovulated earlier than I thought! Have dark red blood. So upset as I thought we had definitely got it this month!

@purplefig I'm 9dpo (well I thought). Who knows! Looks like I'll be ttc for a spring baby too, fingers crossed!!
