TTC First Baby Thread 18 Already!

[ValidUser]

Starting new thread - no stats though.

@Lozzlepop hey, a girls gotta eat! Kudos on going to the gym - are you an enthusiastic exerciser or do-it-cos-ya-should kind of person? I was always the latter until I discovered lifting (and yoga....but I like the kind of sloooow yin yoga that could barely be called exercise ).

Just marking my place ladies - it's like Groundhog Day here, cd54 & still no af.

35, TTC #1, MMC at 11 weeks in early March. Still waiting to start my 4th cycle.

@purplefig hmmmmm thats a tough one, after I have been I feel great but I don't really like going to classes by myself 😂I used to attempt running but I hate it. I love Yoga and especially hot yoga but its sooooo expensive so I just go to try gym and do HIIT twice a week plus I walk between buildings quite a bit, I figure somethings better than nothing right 😉so probs go-cos-i-know-i-should

Hey ladies! Just marking my place cos I'm a super nosey cow and love seeing how you're all progressing! Xx

@Lozzlepop I went for a long run today for the first time in weeks.... came home to find a friend had sent me a chocolate hamper in the post. Had 4 different kinds of Reese’s for lunch 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for tagging me @ValidUser these threads move too quick!! Hope you're all well xx

@Tashdreams oh I do feel for you - that is a super long cycle. Have you been to see GP about it yet?

@Lozzlepop sounds like a good effort! I think if you can find something you like it really does make all the difference. I'm with on yoga - it's a shame it's so expensive. I always ask for passes for my birthday .

@MrsEG the best kind of lunch. (And what a lovely friend)! I did an epic lifting session this morning, had a super healthy smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch.....suddenly ravenous and am consequently making oven chips. Ahh working from home perks (and pits).

In today's edition of TCC-be-crazy-making, I've just seen a woman I used to work with has given birth and she's named her lovely new baby with the name I'd one day like to use. And it made me well up. (Luckily this was not in person). JFC I need to get a grip.

@MrsEG sounds like a pretty epic day 😂

@purplefig Yeah it really does, I would like to go more but can't due to work constraints 😒 Ooooh that's a really good idea!
That's fine you used to work with her so she's not a close friend, I would say that's fair game!

@Lozzlepop oh yeah, I'd totally still use the name - we're not really friends anymore and live ages apart. Hence the crazy-making. Urghh.

I've never been particularly patient with AF(apart from it giving me knee pains on day one, it's not been uncomfortable at all since that start of my 20s) but want these next 3 days to go quickly to start BDing. Have a BBQ with DH's work colleagues on sunday to look forward to and at least i can just say i had health issues and that will explain my lack of drinking.

@purplefig yup, gp said to be patient & call her if there's nothing in 2 more weeks. That was last thurs, so 8 more days 😂🙈
As for the name, I agree you can still claim it, 100%! 😄

@Tashdreams Oh wow - TTC really is a lesson in patience isn't it?! Yeah I fully intend on using the name still, as I said above we were just work friends and I haven't seen her in years / don't live near her. It's more the fact that someone else has had a baby...and used the name I had imagined now. I realise how utterly batshit that sounds as I type it out. I don't know, I just kind of assumed I would be pregnant by now and sometimes it's just a bit...crushing.

Just realised there was a new thread 🙄

Thanks for starting @ValidUser 👍🏼
18 is my fave number so hoping this gives me good luck... literally clutching at straws now haha

@purplefig completely get that. I've had 3 former school friends & colleagues announce their pregnancies lately & whilst I'm over the moon for them, you can't help but reflect on your own situation. Or lack thereof 😐

I have my good days and wallow days, today is a good day, despite burning my tongue on fresh pineapple 😂😂

@dahlia123 there's other gp's but if not I'll move Surgery I need gp to be helpful and positive. Bleeding has stopped still getting headaches but think that's stress and tiredness. Hubby and I are enjoying looking at holiday photos and just being together. @MrsEG how are you?
@cupcakesandglitter how are you doing?
Ladies thank you for all the love and support xx

@purplefig i have had the same thing but with Harry and Meghan! 🙈 Archie was my name damn it!! 😂 first she gets pregnant straight away and then she steals my baby name, the bitch! 😂 only joking (...but not really 😂)

@Tashdreams glad you're having a good day....despite the pineapple burn! Ouch!

@MrsH497 sorry your GP was so unhelpful and cold. Definitely worth getting another one lined up next time, you don't need that added to the trauma.

@FlapJackered ahh that bastards! I know someone who gave birth a few week before Meghan did, also to an Archie...I feel like that's almost worse because she has no choice in the inevitable popularity of it as a name.

@Marleym28 18 🤞

@MrsH497 when you need to diss a service that hasn't served you well, you need to. Sorry to hear you didn't receive the compassion you deserve. Xxx

@FlapJackered and @purplefig totally get it! Have names in mind, and I know it makes little difference, but it's occupying my mind all the same!

I am utterly shattered and fell asleep on the sofa while watching a YouTube video - for nearly 2 hours!

I know it's almost certainly the caffeine withdrawal, but a small psycho part of me is symptom watching this

Evening all! How we’re all well?
I’m just in from stuffing my face with Malaysian food 😃

Feeling a bit crampy with a breakout on my chin, so I’m pretty sure I’m out for this month.
I’ll hold off testing til the weekend, but I can just tell.

@ELW85 when was/is AF due?

@Marleym28 - AF due around 27/28; I usually have a 25 day cycle but I also have a 13/14 day LP and O’d a couple of days late this month so due early next week.

Trying to stay positive but it’s just a hunch.

Okay so the last half an hour I've had fanny daggers and also my nipples are sore and have gone quite red ??? I feel like I'm falling apart 😂

Also first time experiencing "fanny daggers" always thought wonder if I will know if I ever get them .... definitely know why they're called fanny daggers!! Very aptly named 😂😂
