TTC First Baby Thread 20

[ValidUser]

Old one almost full!

Ooh @Lozzlepop I love halloumi! I need more recipes for it though

@PippaPug sorry about the BFN I know with weddings it's easier said than done but try to not stress and just enjoy the build up. It goes so quick.

@cupcakesandglitter I'm gonna stick with it a bit longer. I've not been office based and 9-5 for over 10 years so hoping it's just an adjustment phase!

@Anny27 hey welcome! I'm on cycle 7 we started trying after we got married I came off the pill last September. Got our BFP end of April but sadly MC 17/5 so back to trying again! Had my first AF a couple of weeks ago so hopefully my body is back to normal.

Gorgeous day sat in the garden when I got home. Off to Hampton court flower show on Saturday can't wait (credit card may disagree with my excitement!) and means I have a reason to not go to the baby shower.

I've written an essay sorry!! Xx

@Lozzlepop - haha The little mermaid is a good one! I’m looking forward to the wedding of course, but this would of been the icing on the cake how are you?

@ELW85 - I had the peak smiley on the CB on the Monday the 17th, had sex on the 16th, 18th and 19th. I don’t seem to have any EWCM ever either 🤨🤷🏽‍♀️ So I’m guessing I’m out and period is just delayed due to stress! Don’t mind Disney in my head now and then do all is ok! How are you?

@MrsH497 - Thank you, it’s a shame and just got swept up in the moment. The flower show sounds amazing, do you have a idea what you want to buy?

@ELW85 it’s a dish with brown rice and quinoa, rocket and tomatoes with a nice dressing ☺️ Can’t beat halloumi!

@MrsH497 sounds like a double win, hope it’s nice weather for you ☺️

@PippaPug you can’t beat a classic Disney film! It totally would have been but this way you get to let your hair down and really enjoy the day ☺️

@Larrydavid - the acupuncture is going well. I saw some people mention it on here and thought it could help with both anxiety and fertility, she's really nice and like you say you do feel relaxed afterwards. Got my third visit on the 15th as she's away, but I did initially want to go every 2 weeks to start with. I thought I could then review and go either monthly or stick to fortnightly.

@Lozzlepop & @Anny27- I brought up zinc supplements last night, but DP said he's had them in the past for other health reasons and they make him feel really sick, so that's a no. Will get zinc in him in other ways in that case!!

@PippaPug sorry to hear a BFN. It's good to let the tears out, it's not silly at all, we all get our hopes up and have a good cry.

Had a gym session this evening and my legs are absolutely killing me 😩 gonna be a struggle walking around tomorrow 🙈
Felt better when I got home though as DH had sorted dinner!

@Lozzlepop ooh I love a bit of squeaky cheese! Always get some out on a bbq. Your dinner sounds lovely!

@ELW85 haha I completely agree. We're so lucky that they just go with everything when we ask them to!
Ooh I love an al fresco dinner! Hope you had a good evening :)

@Anny27 oh that's good. EWCM is luckily a good indicator with me as well, but I'm too controlling to just use that, so use OPKs and BBT charting as well 🙊😬
I was actually wondering the other day about mentioning supplements to DH. He currently doesn't take any.
We're currently on cycle 7. Had a BFP back in March but unfortunately ended in MC. DH and family were very supportive through it and we decided to start TTC again straight away.

@MrsH497 ooh the flower show sounds lovely! I love going to Hampton Court. I always have a great day out when we go.

@PippaPug oh I'm so sorry about the BFN. I hope you're still in. Sorry if you've already answered this, but when is your wedding? I hope you're able to have some stress free days leading up to your special day! xx

Sorry I'm always responding with essays 🙈

@LokiCat- we all love essays, so no need to apologise!
How was the workout and what was awaiting you for tea?

I’d ended up having a bit of a traumatic afternoon at work, so the al fresco dinner went south and a takeaway got dialled. I have zero regrets 😂

@Lozzlepop - that halloumi dish sounds immense! I might google something similar as I’ve got some halloumi lurking in the fridge :)

@PippaPug - hmm that is a strange one, as it’s usually your Ov that gets delayed with stress. If it is a bfn, the good news is that you get to enjoy your wedding toast and not be tired for any honeymoon you’re off on?

@MrsH497 - I’ve always wanted to visit Hampton Court! DH and I are heading south to see Ian McKellan in London in October so I’ll try and get a visit in!

I hope everyone has had a lovely evening?
Nearly the weekend and nearly time for me to start obsessing over a TWW again!

@ sounds like a good plan just find loads of zinc filled foods 😉

@LokiCat I’m the same, my legs are absolutely killing me already and I don’t know how I’m going to manage tomorrow 🙈🙈

@ELW85 the workout was good! I'm trying to complete couch to 5k in the gym over summer because it's just too hot for me to run outside! Then did some abs and leg workouts. Think the squats got me though 🙈
DH grilled some spicy chicken with veg and mash 😊
Oh no sorry to hear about your traumatic afternoon! Hope everything is okay? Never regret a takeaway! They always manage to put a smile on my face!

@Lozzlepop ahh I hope your legs feel slightly better in the morning. I'm hoping a hot shower before work will help! Otherwise we'll both most likely be wobbling around tomorrow 🙈

Have a good night ladies'

Morning ladies!
Static smiley day first one I've had since MC I wasn't going to temp or OPK this month as that was how I fell pregnant last time. DTD Tuesday night so would've been fertile period got to convince hubby to get back on it tonight!

Have a fab sunny day xx

@Lozzlepop we aren't temping or using OPKs at the moment (but did use OPKs back in jan/feb before we were ttc just so i could understand my cycle a bit more). I have some more so might use them this month!

@LokiCat sorry to hear about your miscarriage! That so great that DH and family were so supportive!
I think i will have to bring up the idea of supplements when he is in a good mood haha. Yep i am trying to keep our TTC journey as stress free for DH (i do enough research and tracking for the both of us, he just has to do the fun bit haha)

@MrsH497 thats promissing:D yep get convincing hubby haha

@ELW85 sorry to hear you had a rubbish day yesterday, I hope the takeaway helped. A Chinese is always my go to when I fancy a takeaway 😋

@LokiCat my legs are pretty sore, stairs are the worst 😂but thankfully I am not in as much pain as I thought I might be! Got woken up by cats fighting last night so its another day of being tired - when will it end lol. How are your legs?

@MrsH497 woohoo amazing news!! Get on it girl 🐎

@Anny27 I found using OPKs really useful as I would have had no idea otherwise that I don't OV on day 14, the first cycle I used them we got our BFP 🙂Haha the TTC journey is so different for men and women, we do all the back work, if only they knew lol

Morning all!

@LokiCat @Lozzlepop - thanks ladies! I’m fine, just an odd scenario (I’ve taken on a new department and it’s caused a lot of emotional reactions). Not personal I think, just unexpected and they were all quite close.
I hope you’re both feeling better and can still walk after the gym?
I’m back tonight so will be joining you 😂

@MrsH497 - yay for static smiley! Good luck with this cycle - got everything crossed for you!

Have a lovely day, all!

Morning all!

My digital test finally arrived from Amazon! Finally feels real now. Everything crossed for a sticky one.

Thanks so all of you so much for all the support and laughs over that last 6 months. Hoping you all get your BFPs soon. I might lurk for a while too so I can see them too.

Lots of love xxx

Oh @LikeTheFruit that's so wonderful to see. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean! Please do lurk around xx

@LikeTheFruit Congratulations:D hope all goes well for you xx

@LikeTheFruit - congratulations again! Have a happy and healthy 9 months!!

@ELW85 glad to hear you are ok, I'm sure things will get easier with time. I am stiff as soon as I get up but after walking for about 10 seconds or so it eases off lol!

@LikeTheFruit yaaaaaay nice to see those words!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months lovely!

So snoozy today, roll on 5pm!!

@MrsH497 great you got your static smiley! Enjoy tonight 😊

@Anny27 haha yeah my DH has just told me to let him know when it's his time to shine 😂 otherwise I'm the one with the crazy google history! 🙈

@Lozzlepop my legs are very sore as well, especially on the stairs! Just ran to catch a train as well, which didn't help (caught it at least!).
My cat jumped on me last night, waking me up at 2am, so I also I felt shattered today. The weekend can't come fast enough!

@ELW85 ah okay, I hope it went better today! It does take some time for people to accept change.
I'm a lot better than I was this morning! Our office is on the third floor, so I think walking up and down loosened my legs up. Have a good time at the gym, and I hope you won't be as sore as us! 😂

@LikeTheFruit ahh it's always so lovely seeing it in words! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months! Definitely pop in to let us know how you're doing 😊 xx

Had such a busy day of meetings, so happy to be on my way home!
Hope you all have a lovely evening!

How bad is it not to DTD on ovulation day. Me and DH had a massive argument last night so didn’t end up DTD. We did DTD the day before ovulation and the day before that as well. Have we completely screwed up our chances this cycle?

@LokiCat - thanks lovely! I’m exhausted now. Sounds like you’ve had a crazy day too! Any plans this evening?

@XjustagirlX - it’s actually way more important to do it the day before Ov. Day of Ov is quite time limited, so the chances are

@XjustagirlX I don't know if you use FF, but I was looking at their chart gallery and comparing my chart (as I also didn't DTD on day of O) and there's quite a few BFP charts that were in the same situation (I attached two), so fingers crossed you're covered!
Sorry you both had an argument, I hope everything is okay.

@ELW85 no I think I'm just going to relax tonight! Have you, apart from the gym?

@LokiCat - I was going to gym it, but I’m too tired. Sofa time!

I think the tiredness is inhibiting my memory though - can anytime help with my question...
I had day 2 of an LH surge this morning but it’s gone back down to border high/low this afternoon.
Would you say that means I’ve Ov at some point today or am still to Ov?

@ELW85 enjoy sofa time!! We all need that now and again.
I think it means you have ovulated today. I'm not too sure in regards to LH surges. Hopefully confirmation in the morning if your temp spikes. Sorry, I know that wasn't helpful at all!

@LokiCat - it was helpful, so thank you :) going to DTD tonight to cover our bases and then have a week off 😂
