TTC First Baby Thread 18 Already!

[ValidUser]

Starting new thread - no stats though.

@FlapJackered I'm actually not sure you know... although temp can confirm after you've ovd, there are so many factors that affect it eg. I've had the windows open for the last four days but I'm still way hotter than usual - could be weather, DHs body temperature, bedding etc etc etc, so you might not have ovulated yet you could just be really hot 😂 maybe stick with the OPKs? Your temp could possibly shoot up more? X

@Tashdreams lovely blanket xx

Sorry for the bfn @flossy12 xx

I agree that it's massively important to talk to people closest about it - I've told my mum the last two BFPs I had, straightaway. I've told my best friend about my CP in December, but other than that I've not really said anything. Whenever I get a BFP I know it's not going to last so I almost don't even want to say anything anymore, feels like the same old story. DH is beating himself up a little because of the SA and I don't really know what to say to him either

I just typed a MASSIVE reply to everyone and then deleted it. Stupid fat thumbs. In essence it was a hug to all who need a hug, a big hello to @Savvysaz and a very happy anniversary to @FlapJackered!!

Happy bank holiday weekend ladies, hope everyone has a brilliant one!

Happy anniversary @FlapJackered

@cupcakesandglitter I don't think there's anything you can say just make sure he knows you're there and you don't blame him. I had s good few days of pure hatred towards my body that it had completely failed to do its one job of stay pregnant. DH was the one who just listened and said all the right things. Just hug each other

After what you ladies have said I may open up more about my MC. I'm tired but struggling to sleep at the moment so perhaps need to off load my brain!

Sorry about the BFN @flossy12 you'll get your BFP we all will.

Have a wonderful weekend you wonderful ladies. Thank you for all the virtual support you've given me x

Sorry it’s a BFN @flossy12 :( Happy anniversary @flapjackered!

@mrsh497 be gentle with yourself - there’s no right or wrong way to do it. You’re still healing so don’t force yourself to open up if you need more time.

I am in the hairdressers at the moment having my hair cut and coloured. Feeling super relaxed, being pampered and reading trashy gossip magazines. It’s also somewhere I can’t be tempted to test haha!

AF should be done with by tomorrow, been doing some gardening together today. I have gone down to 32 hours at work this week (from 43) so hoping that helps my body from a ttc perspective.

Thanks everyone! I did receive some flowers so he is not doing too badly.

@cupcakesandglitter that is true! Hopefully all will become clear. I am covering my bases anyway. It feels good to have got a positive opk so early for me. This is looking like it will be a 30 day cycle which is much more like it!
I am glad you have some good supportI've friends. Remind me of your DHs SA was it bad news?

@kiza I am not very good with cervical position maybe I should give it another go!
Hopefully i have got it covered if the opks are right and will see what the temp does tomorrow. 🤞🏻

@Bettythecat I haven't heard of moxa, I am going to google it now! I figure we just have to throw everything at it now!

This morning I was injecting myself. DH had to look away. I was like "dude, you're a doctor..."

@ValidUser perhaps it's something about seeing you do it if he's not had to injected anything into himself before.

@1990shopefulftm he's type one diabetic, so he does it daily! 😂

@validuser seems he's being irrational in that case

@FlapJackered it's like stick that you light that you hold over certain points on your body. It's based on the same principle as accupuncture but you stimulate the point with heat rather than needles. As you say, anything is worth a shot at this point 😂.

@FlapJackered sorry for being nosy but what are you injecting?

@ValidUser - you actually made me laugh out loud with what you said you your husband 😂
You’d think he’d be used to the needles from a personal and professional level.

Absolutely brilliant!!

I think it's sweet!

@Bettythecat I think I'm the only one shooting up! Gonal f, cetrotide and hcg.

I ovulate fine, but gynaecologist wants to make sure my only side with a tube gives us a good egg!

Sorry @ValidUser @FlapJackered got you mixed up there!! At least you've got some practice with your job so not too awful to inject yourself- I think I'd completely freak out!!

@ValidUser it must be because it's you that he can't manage it!

No sign of AF today, now on CD31, with recent cycles of 29-35 days. Might test sometime this weekend, depending on how things feel!

@Lola871 you should totally test.

@Bettythecat no worries - it's always hard to remember who I meant to tag!

Gah temp has gone down now so it looks like more DingTD today. 😩 I'm tired I don't even want to look at his willy today!
I had really strong ovulation type pain yesterday so I am pretty sure I have ovulated but I think to be covered we need to go again today.
It was a really long surge from fri eve to Saturday eve - both positive opks and the worst ovulation pains I have ever had, so hopefully that is a good sign. 🤞🏻

@ValidUser Oh bless DH, it must be because it’s you that he can’t watch! How have you found the injections?

@FlapJackered ‘I don’t even want to look at his willy today’ 😂😂 Do you have any Preseed? When we were knackered we’d use that and just have a quickie. Messy but gets the job done!!!

Fingers crossed for you @Lola871!

@Dollywilde I love going to the hairdressers! I stopped dying my hair about a year ago and god I miss the long salon sessions ever since! It just isn’t the same when you’re only going for a trim!!

@MrsH497 That’s great to heat, I really found it a huge load off my shoulders when I did.

Happy Sunday ladies! One of DHs clients has treated us to afternoon tea in a swanky hotel today (with champagne!) So were headed there. I cannot believe how kind our friends and family have been with us this week. Hope everyone has an amazing day!

Wow @MrsEG that's amazing, they have been so incredibly lovely to you but it's not more than you deserve. They are doing it because they love you. After my mc one thing I did think was lovely is that those that knew were really so kind and it meant such a lot.

Girls help me out today. 8DPO and AF due around Wednesday. Can't help but obsess that I don't have any of the symptoms I had last time. 😫

@Bettythecat Absolutely - it has bought out the very best in all of our friends and family and were struggling to know how to thank them! We are thinking of perhaps making a donation to Tommys on everyone’s behalf.

8DPO is so early and every pregnancy is different. Implantation can happen as early as 6DPO but also as late as 12DPO. So don’t torture yourself :)

@MrsEG - how lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time :) we’re currently getting ready to go to Harry Potter studios!!

@Bettythecat - I hear you; I read about symptoms and as my boobs aren’t sore, I’m convinced I’m out this month! We should probably listen to MrsEG though!!

@ELW85 have the best time!! Try butter beer!
@MrsEG that's so lovely! Enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x

@ELW85 Ahh we went to the HP studios a few years ago - it is so much fun!! You’ll have such a fun time!
Yep - if it makes you and @Bettythecat feel any better with two of my BFPs I didn’t even get the telltale sore boobs until 12DPO, so there’s still plenty of time yet!!

Morning all! Just forced myself to go for a wee quickly so I wasn’t tempted to sit on my FMU not really any symptoms here at 10/11 dpo but equally no AF symptoms so hey ho! One more day til testing...
