TTC First Baby Thread 20

[ValidUser]

Old one almost full!

Thanks @KatBeCool and @ELW85! I actually think I've realised what went wrong this cycle - it was the timing of my releasing the plunger on the injection pen. Think I may have just sucked back some of the liquid accidentally and given too low a dose.

In my defence, it was based on DH's advice. In his defence, I should have checked. 😂

Hi Ladies, looking for some advice. Does anyone have experience of implantation bleeding? I've never had it before and either my period is a week early (never happened before in my life) or I have some heavy implantation bleeding. It's more than spotting and enough for a pad, I'm gutted if it's AF as we have done SMEP the last 2 months and was really hoping and believing this month was gonna be our BFP after trying for 10 months.

Just don't know what to make of this bleeding, it smells a bit like period too - sorry if that's TMI but don't know if implantation bleeding smells like period? 😞

Forgot to mention I'm only 10dpo and normally have a 16 day LP...

@Lozzlepop - we are both due on the same day then, fingers crossed for us both!

@ValidUser - ah well at least there’s an explanation for it :)
Can they give you a syringe instead of a pen to help? You are more than qualified!

@Kiza - I’m really sorry, I don’t, but has anything changed this month? Any new supplements or anything?

@ELW85 no, the only thing that's changed is doing SMEP the last 2 months. No other symptoms either, so not really sure what's going on.

@Kiza - that does seem a bit odd; if you’re concerned, I’d get to the docs.
I know that doesn’t solve anything now, but I wouldn’t want to speculate and you’ll get informed peace of mind from them.
Sorry I couldn’t be of any more help.

Hi ladies, just checking in on this new thread, I've not been keeping up much the past few weeks, had a very stressful and trying time with work.

Currently 7 days into my TWW & got some much needed time off. My DP has surprised me with an impromptu camping trip this weekend, our pitch has its own hot tub, so having a bit of luxury for our staycation. Looking forward to the peace and quiet and chance to just chill out.

Sending baby dust to all xx

@ELW85 I'm ok with the pens now! Hopefully more progress by Friday. 🤞

Thanks @ELW85 have just moved to a new area so need to find a GP to register with first. Hopefully will do that early next week (and at least then I should know if it is AF or not) just have that sinking feeling that it is 😞

@Kiza have you been tracking your temps? Doesn’t your temp drop if it’s your period but it stays high if you are pregnant?

Also this is my first month using Clearblue digital OPKs. I got a flashing smily this morning yay! So my question is do I DTD every day from now on or every other day? Or another option alternate between morning and evening so effectively have a 36 hour gap in between DTD? (I think the romance is dead 😂)

Hi ladies! Acupuncture session number 2! It's very relaxing which can't be a bad thing, she worked on my hormones and pituitary gland today!

How is everyone? X

Hi ladies! Got back early this morning and feel so exhausted! Trying to stay awake till tonight so I can sleep properly.
Had such an amazing trip, didn't think about TTC/temping and had such a relaxing time with DH - feel even more in love after this trip, if that's possible!
Oh and saw so many different animals! Definitely recommend a safari holiday if you guys are ever thinking of going. I loved it!

I hope you're all well. I'm sure my TTC obsession will start again from tomorrow.

Thank you for tagging me in the new thread - sorry I haven't had a chance to read through it all, but wishing you all lots of luck if you're waiting to POAS or waiting for your ovulation day ❤️🤞🏽

Happy to be back talking to you ladies 😊

@XjustagirlX hi, no as I wake at different times but also I'm the type of person that wakes up an hour before my alarm to pee - also is probably forget to take the temp! 😆

According to SMEP you dtd the day you ovulate, and the next 2 days. Skip a day then once more 👍🏼

@Tashdreams - aww a surprise trip sounds fantastic! I hope the weather is awesome for you and you get to relax :)

@ValidUser - sending massively positive vibes your way for Friday! I don’t underestimate how totally crap it must be to have to work on other people’s health all day/night as well as your own, so I’m keeping everything crossed for you that you get the right outcome very soon ❤️

@XjustagirlX - every other day from flashing smiley then every day from static smiley! Or just as much as you can from now on basically!

@LokiCat - so good to have you back my dear! Are there any highlights of the trip or was it all just amazing?

@MrsH497 - ah great to hear it went well :) I’m seriously considering it; do they have a recommended number of sessions?

Well ladies, blood test results were back for me today and my prolactin is back to a normal range, and my FSH and LH were ‘normal’ At 5 each, which is good for 34 :) so I’m feeling way more positive about TTC!
Thanks for all of the wisdom and pep talks over the past few days, @Lozzlepop @orangeloo @FlapJackered!

@ELW85 I love Whitby, had my hen do there last year! Have a great time. I hope the results are all fine - take it from me, I had three different issues thrown up with mine but every single one is treatable. So, I’m sure you’ll be a-ok :)

@ValidUser Just checking in to say you are as always in my thoughts and hope all goes well this week X

@FlapJackered Thank you lovely, still haven’t really gotten my head around it and DH is having to remind me ‘You can’t drink, you can’t eat those’! Yep - well, we DTD twice in the same 24 hour period. Consultant told DH he should be very pleased with himself haha. Just taking it easy until my appointment on Monday, still taking my meds every day and doing the self injections (which are starting to hurt!) and hoping they will work.
I’m so glad you have a consultant working with you now; wishing you all of the luck in the world!

@Kiza I actually think I had IB this cycle; one day had one small spot of light brown/beige, which I thought was odd. Nothing more than that though.

@LokiCat Glad the holiday was great :)

@MrsH497 Glad the accupuncture is going well!

Still in the Lakes, the weather has been incredible! I’ve been feeling really tired and quite breathless but otherwise fine, it’s been such a lovely break and is making the time fly before my appointment next week! DH is going wild swimming tomorrow... I’ll be watching with my toes dipped in as that’s about as adventurous as I get haha! Hope everyone has had a lovely week x also hope you don’t mind me still posting but I feel very attached!x

@MrsEG - it’s so lovely to hear from you, please stick around as we’re very attached to you!
And thank you, the bloods are all good, so another weight off my mind :)
I’m pleased you’re enjoying the lakes, it’ll be fantastic to have lots of downtime at the stage where you’ll be super sleepy!
Pleased to hear you’re getting on well with the injections - you’ll have to let us know how Monday goes? X

Morning all! I've kept annual leave till Monday, to try and rest up a bit after the holiday but been up since 5am 🤦🏻‍♀️
I'm 11dpo today, have quite a lot of watery cm (not sure if that's normal) and temp is above cover line. I haven't taken my bbt for about 6 days so not sure what happened in between!

@ELW85 thank you! Seeing the animals, especially ones that are quite rare was definitely exciting! We even caught two lions mating! I wished them some baby dust 😂
Also we stayed at 3 different lodges, which were all amazing! One was a tree house with a watering hole right outside that all the animals came to drink from. Memories I'll never forget 😊

I'm glad everything came back as normal for you! It must feel so reassuring to confirm that nothing is wrong - fingers crossed for you for this cycle!

@MrsEG thanks! 😊 glad you're having a lovely time away and the weather is behaving!
Your DH is so sweet helping you with the injections, I'm sure that must be hard! The days will fly by and Monday will be here before you know it! Enjoy the rest of your trip and definitely stick around! Would love to know how you're getting on xx

Hope you all have a lovely day! I need to run a lot of errands today, especially grocery shopping - there's nothing in the house!! Looking forward to the weekend - says it's going to be 30degrees! ☀️ ☀️

Morning ladies

Sorry for the silence, I haven’t been getting any notifications 🤷🏽‍♀️

@PippaPug ooh hey cycle buddy! Are you going to be good and hold out to test?

@Tashdreams oh how lovely, what a nice surprise- top marks to your DP ☺️

@MrsH497 that’s good that the acupuncture is going well ☺️

@LokiCat welcome baaaack ☺️ OMG did you have the most amazing time? Sometimes you just need a break to reset everything don’t you ☺️ Your trip sounds amazing especially the treehouse, those memories will stay with you ❤️ Hopefully you have a few relaxing days now to ease yourself back into it!

@ELW85 glad that you got your results back and are feeling more positive, we are always here for advice, pep talk or if you just need a rant ☺️

@MrsEG sounds like you are having an amazing time and a welcome distraction before your appointment ☺️

Well ladies it looks like summer could finally be here, the sun is out already and it’s set to be a lovely couple of days ☀️🙏🏻 What’s everyone got planned over the weekend?

@Lozzlepop - I’m going away and just think I will see what happens, as this is only my second month TTC I’m trying not early test but we shall see how long I can hold out!

@LokiCat - where did you go?!

@Lozzlepop - thank you! The support has been fantastic as ever :)
Sadly more gardening this weekend - I think I’m in purgatory 😂 how about you?

@LokiCat - that sounds unbelievable! We’re you basically in the new Lion King? I can hear Beyoncé now!
Well here’s to some baby dust to you, too! From what I’ve read, watery CM is almost like EWCM in terms of indicating you’re fertile, so maybe your temp going up has been to do with travelling?
Sorry I can’t be much more help!

Just being nosey... hope your all doing well ladies! I always have a read through and keep my fingers tightly crossed for you all 💕

@PippaPug thats a good plan, i got my BFP last time at 11DPO on an IC but going to try and hold off this time 🤞🏻

@ELW85 should be a good weekend for gardening! We are just planning a quiet one, I am off to a friends for dinner and a catch up tonight then hopefully out for a spot of lunch and enjoy the sun over the weekend. Next weekend is DPs bday weekend so will be a full on family weekend so could do with a chill 😊

@thumper59 👋🏻hiiiii how are you doing??

@Lozzlepop I'm great thanks are you? Just wishing the work day away today so I can go home and sit in the garden! Make the most of this rare yellow thing in the sky 😂😂
