TTC First Baby Thread 20

Old one almost full!

Big congratulations @ELW85 that is amazing news!!! So happy for you. Have you been temping? Would you be able to post your chart? This chat is helping me cope xxx

@Maisy24- ah thank you so much my dear! Yes, I’ve been temping so I’ve posted it! After a bit of a step change, I haven’t noticed anything else different, although I had my bloods done recently and my doctor pointed out I had a Vit D deficiency, so I’ve been taking those this month.

I’ll help with anything I can chat or question wise :)

@ELW85 Congratulations on the BFP!!!

@ELW85 just logging on from the beach to check on BFPs - so happy for you! Wonderful news! I bloody love seeing a positive on here!!

@Larrydavid - thank you so much!! How is the sojourn? Ibiza and then the country retreat? :)

@Eventrider1 - thank you!

HI, apologies to just jump in but I'm curious what cycle apps people use.
I've been using my cycle for the last year however it doesn't update as frequently as I like. Fertility friend is a paid for one to get even a basic analysis.
Any free ones people use that gives you free analysis also?

@Kiza - I really use Femometer because it analyses your OPKs and is pretty user friendly in general.
I use FF but I’ve only just downloaded it in the last 2 cycles, so had the VIP trial for free. Can’t compare it to the free version on that basis.
I’ve seen people talk about PreMom for the OPK analyser too.

@ELW85 Ibiza is super fun! Enjoying it to the max - hopefully at some point my Ibiza trips will change so am fully appreciating them now!

@Kiza I use clue which is free and has been accurate compare to my opks

@Larrydavid - I hear you! Definitely make the most of it :) I look back fondly on those days (the ones I can remember, haha!)

@ELW85 @Larrydavid thanks both I'll check them out. I've noticed that my LP varies from 13-21 days over the last 9 months... but worrying as I know the nhs don't recognise LPD but I'm wondering if that's the reason behind difficulty TTC and miscarriages?
Ideally I'd like an app that analyses my LP each month as my current app doesn't and I have to manually count.

So I just took a test ... what do you guys think??

Never realised the struggle people go through to get decent pics of them 😂

@Kiza I use Glow which I love, it also allows you to analyse OPK results like Femometer and tried Fertility friend this time around, I don’t temp so never bothered paying for the full package but found it pretty good!

@Mrskcam I see a line in the second pic ☺️ You should test with a FRER if you can, looking promising!

@Lozzlepop this was just a cheap test as this month was so laid back I didn't even think it would be worth buying a test and wasting money, gonna get more tomorrow ahhh

Posted too soon 😂

@Larrydavid are you having a fab time? I love Ibiza, such a beautiful island!

@ELW85 I’m dying to know if you’ve told DP yet?

Weather has taken a turn for the better, currently sat relaxing in the garden while a chicken roasts to make a Cesar salad for dinner ☺️ Get a lie in tomorrow as I’m working from home - whoooop!!!

@Mrskcam that's a BFP. Congratulations! X

@Mrskcam it’s looking very positive indeed! Wow what a lucky weekend it’s been!!

@Lozzlepop @ValidUser I'm in shock. I can't believe it, testing again in the morning hopefully the line will be darker.

Was thinking back to why I was quite tired hopeful this month and I think I've figured it out; to get to our flat you have to walk up flights of stairs and I've walked up and down these at least once a day for the last two years, they don't bother me, until recently I am out of breath doing them!! Also been overly hot but put that down to weather lol, apart from the odd comment from the fiancé about "how are you still so hot in freezing" when I've had the air con on I hadn't really noticed!

Absolutely convinced I can feel af coming it's so weird

@Mrskcam I see a second line! X

Oh and I forgot to mention ... it's mine and my fiancé's anniversary today... best anniversary present ever!?!?

@Mrskcam that definitely looks like a bfp!!! Congratulations! Looks like we are on a roll here

Do you have a chart to post? Also how long have you been trying? any tips for us that you did different this month.

So happy for you and how nice on your anniversary. Xxx

@ELW85 wow so happy got you!

I tested this morning and again I got a negative. I have no idea what’s happening. I think if I was pregnant I would have got a positive by 10dpo.

During a non pregnant cycle how many dats before af shoes does everyone’s temps drop? Mine are still high.

Also just seen @Mrskcam congratulations to you too!

Hi all,

I'm 35 (as of yesterday!) TTC my first baby. On cycle 7 (of actively trying!) after having the coil removed 2 months prior to that. The disappointment each month is killing me & everyone around me seems to be falling pregnant so easily!!

I've tried temping & ovulation sticks, but it all got a bit too much & it killed the mood completely! Husband has got really down about it, as have I.

I track my periods on GLO. Usually I'm 27/28 days like clockwork. This months is a mystery.

Took a test CD29 - BFN.

CD30 was my birthday. Had a few drinks. Had some spotting yesterday I'm yhe earky evening, so presumed I'd come on over night (happy flipping birthday!!)

CD31 - today (pink/red when I wipe) and slight brown on my pad, but nothing more.

No pains, no other symptoms, but have had sharp/occasional pains on and off for about a week last week.

I just want to know. Driving myself bonkers. So frustrating!!!

Anyone have any thoughts?

@Mrskcam What a lovely anniversary present for you both! Have you told DP yet?

@Maisy24 I didn’t temp but we done SMEP this cycle which seemed to work a treat 😉 always worth a shot!
