TTC First Baby Thread 20

[ValidUser]

Old one almost full!

@MrsLBear it could be.

@purplefig AF due today. I will keep testing until she shows!

Sorry, got my tagging a bit arseways there!

@MrsLBear - this process can turn the most rational into the neurotic; I’m so pleased we have each other!
I’m also testing on Sunday - I think that makes 5 of us this weekend?!
£2k?! Ludicrous! We got quoted £14k for replacing an en-suite and a normal bathroom. Nothing marble in there, just standard stuff. Insane!
Sorry to hear you’re struggling with sleep - hopefully you have a decent Sunday :)

@LokiCat - I think that’s definitely fan related, especially if you don’t usually have it on?
I’ve got some FRERs arriving tomorrow for Sunday’s testing party 😂

@ValidUser - are you using any meds that might mask it or skew it as part of your treatment? There’s definitely something there though :)

@ValidUser I'm still seeing a faint line. Could you be earlier than 12dpo perhaps, or are you certain about that?

@MrsLBear thank you and to you!! Mixed feelings actually. Felt queasy and very tired for a few days earlier this week and my CM has been different to what it usually is during my LP. However started cramping yesterday and had a temp dip this morning!
How are you feeling?
Think there'll be quite a few of us testing Sunday morning! A collective bfp will be amazing 😊

@ELW85 we always have it on (even in winter (!!) as apparently DH can't sleep without it 🙄) but I had it pointed towards me a lot more last night as I was so hot!
Haha I have one FRER and one digital ready, along with lots of cheapies!

@ELW85 shouldn't skew it, but who knows?!

@LokiCat could have potentially ovulated later after trigger. I'm at least 11dpo.

10-12 dpo sequence here, top to bottom. Chemical? Never pregnant? Still hope?

@MrsLBear not 100% sure where I am possibly due AF next weekend or week after (pokes boobs to see if they are sore yet!) we are going to my in laws next weekend for my sister in laws 30th so I sort of would like to know whether I should avoid alcohol.

@ELW85 hubby is off work today and tomorrow so bbq tonight and relaxing gardening day (planting my Hampton court purchases!) tomorrow. Sunday shopping with mum

@ValidUser I can still see something lovely I am keeping everything crossed x

@LokiCat - how funny! My DH does exactly the same, sleeps with the fan on 365 😂
It must be the comfort of the noise from it now...

@MrsH497 - that sounds like a great weekend! What did you end up buying from Hampton Court?

@ValidUser - I hear you on the progression, but you also might have just Ov later? That’s what I think I’d be leaning towards, as you’re not losing the line, so keep your head up my surfer friend x

Morning ladies, happy Friday!! Feeling a bit stiff from the gym this morning, so happy that the weekend is almost upon us!

@FlorenceLane hello and welcome

@LokiCat I feel sick about 75% of my waking day 😂we have everything crossed too! Are you holding out till Sunday to test - thats willpower!

@cupcakesandglitter deffo have the wine you deserve it!!

@ValidUser omg I love hedehogs, I still see a faint line which I know will be darker in real life, how are you feeling?

@PippaPug I am absolutely delighted for you are you going to tell your parents etc before/on the big day? The nausea is fun huh? 😂

@Maisy24 welcome to the wonderful world of TTC it can be such a cruel journey when other people seem to get pregnant at the drop of a hat! You just need to keep positive and tell yourself you will get there ❤️

@MrsH497 we are out for a friends 30th tomorrow night, I am torn between being "terribly hungover from the night before" or "doing dry July" either way I will crash and burn early so I hope we only stay a short while lol

Fingers crossed for you ladies testing this weekend I have everything crossed for you ❤️I am looking forward to a quieter weekend than last weekend.

@ELW85 a peony (favourite flower) 2 lavenders and 2 roses (one called crazy for you which glorious splattered pink/red/white and the other called Naomi - which is me!) x

Good luck to all those testing this weekend:D
I am not due AF/BFP till end the month so feeling motivated to not test early this month. But when i am in the TWW that motivation might disappear haha!

@MrsH497 i was at Hampton court flower festival last week - was so lovely! Hope you enjoy planting your flowers :)

There is something officially wrong with me - I just dropped the car off for the valet and left my house keys on (realises as I got home) so had to get my husband’s office and drive his car (and house keys) home.
I swear I’m not usually this daft??!!

@MrsH497 - ah lovely! I love peonies and how fantastic that you found your very own rose :) x

@MrsH497 enjoy planting your flowers, they sound lovely choices, I love a peony! I got a peace rose after our MMC and its starting to bud so cannot wait to see its flowers!

@ELW85 whoops, it is Friday so I guess its forgivable! 😂

@Lozzlepop - honestly, how silly?! I usually call the second part of my cycle my ‘cloudy headed’ phase but this is a new level!!

Excited for all the testers this weekend, fingers crossed for you all. I'm gonna test Monday as af due Sunday!

@Mrskcam - good for you for holding out! I should probably wait til Monday or Tuesday but I’m kind of excited for it now!

@ELW85 well I'm not even sure what's made me hopeful for this month so I'm holding out as I wanna avoid disappointment

@ELW85 DH says he likes the feel of the wind in his face as he sleeps 😂
Haha I think we all have some moments! Blame it on the Friday feeling. Yay for car valet though! It'll definitely be feeling brand new 😊

@Lozzlepop you say willpower, yet I took a test last night at 10dpo! I'm not that strong 😂
Well done for gym this morning! I hope your quiet weekend is relaxing 😊

@Mrskcam I should hold out as well, as AF isn't due till Tuesday, but I don't think I'll be able to!

Oh I’ve just had to run to the toilet 🤢swallowed drink wrong then was retching for what felt like ages. Too early surely for anything meaningful

@LokiCat - that just made me lol. I’ve got visions of your husband leaning into the fan, imagining he’s driving a convertible down a Californian highway 😂
But mine is similar, so we’re in the same boat!

@Mrskcam - I’ll keep everything crossed for you! There’s got to be one of us this weekend/Monday that gets a BFP, I’m sure of it!!

Tired by lunchtime. Is it the weekend yet?!

@ELW85 it gave me a giggle! I hope when you get your car back and it smells delightful!

@LokiCat are you going to test again over the weekend, its still early! I hope so too 😂

@MrsH497 oh no are you ok? Brushing my teeth is a nightmare at the mo, makes me want to vom! 🙈

@Lozzlepop- I’d be laughing too! And I’m pleased I can be of some use in this useless state, haha!
Oh no, can’t believe you’re that nauseous (in the best of ways!) it must be so nice to ‘feel’ pregnant. I’m still convinced that one of the weekend crew will deliver so they can join you - it’s be nice to have a little supportive grads circle!

@Lozzlepop running past the high ranking officer trying to smile whilst coughing/retching isn't best bit of the day!

So odd don't know why I've reacted so strongly to coughing

Ladies can I ask do any of you track your cervix? Do you think it's reliable or whatnot. I've been kinda just trying to get used to mine and it seems to have gone MIA today 🙈

Oh no I caved and did a test. I’m 9dpo and of course it was negative. I had the most awful cramps this morning. Not sure if that’s a good sign or not. However I’ve just checked my nipples and they seem a bit darker. Would it be weird to take pictures of my nipples to monitor the shade

@Mrskcam I don’t check my cervix. I admit I wouldn’t even know the correct way to do this or what it should feel like.
