TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies

[Hewie30]

Hi Ladies 🙋,

I'm new to the forum so thought I'd look for some TTC buddies.
I'm 30 and TTC baby number 1, I came off the pill beginning of May and had a withdrawal bleed a few days later then got my first AF 4 weeks after that. Last month I sadly had a chemical it was gutting seeing the faint line go but I guess it wasn't my time!
AF arrived on time Sunday so looks like my cycle ranges from 34-35 days.
I'm currently taking pregnacare and using the Ovia app for ovulation, I'm thinking if I don't concieve by month 6 I'll try ovulation sticks. Onward to month 4 I go 🤣

@Gigi318 thanks hun x I know it’s awful!
@Raizelrea my periods are usually 3-4 days but the flow is quite heavy for the 2-3 days, so this one completely threw me off x

@Raizelrea fab thank you, that's so helpful so yes I'll go with the longer stretch. Eekk! And last night I went to sleep at 10pm, woke at 3am to wee then woke again at 7am after I'd got back to sleep!

@flossy12 thank youuuuuu 🤞🏻💫 I'm so excited/nervous. I woke in the night (as I said 🙄) and had a bit of cramping and where I was half asleep I panicked it was AF and I always wake with horrific pain in the night, but this was just so mild. Bless me 🤣 hehehe I am like that. Small bladder anyway so lord knows what I'll be like pregnant!

@Gigi318 yeH the night before I was due to test I couldn't sleep much and woke at 6am 😅😅😂 so did OH but didn't POAS until around 9:15 🤣 wanted the strongest result I could get

@Katie1109 I do hope it becomes more clear one day or the other, this limbo when you're still unsure if you are or aren't sounds rubbish! Either way by the end of the week you'll hopefully be wiser with it either going away or turning into fullblown AF.

@Gigi318 Watch you wake up in the middle of the night tomorrow to test haha! Good luck for tomorrow 🤞

Morning Ladies! How are we all?

I caved in and tested this morning and I definitely got a faint line 🤪. This time I didn't need a filter which has got my hopes up massively. I'm not sure if you can see it in the camera but in person you can. I'll post the photo for you guys! I'm nervous because I really don't want it to be a chemical again!

Here we go! My friend also inverted it too

@flossy12 eeeek. I'm hoping I can hold out. I'm always using rushing to the loo first thing busting 😂🙈

@Raizelrea OMG don'tttt 😂🙈 can you imagine! I definitely won't be able to get back to sleep!

@Hewie30 eeeeeekkkkkkk OMG I am so excited. I don't think I can see anything but I think it's just my phone. I am beyond excited. Roll on FR!!!!!

On another note. I had lots of CM this morning, went for a light jog, came back and LOADS of light brown creamy CM 😬😬😬 Oh please oh please let this be IB. My AF (is if ever spot which is sporadic) is usually dark brown blood rather than CM to start and this was definitely creamy CM with a pale brownish twinge! And funnily enough, when I was cramping Mon-Weds I thought to myself, if I do get IB I bet it will be on Thursday or Friday and be brown. I knew I'd get brown old blood rather than fresh pink if anything. Keep 🤞🏻 for my girls!!!! I am now a bit confused! But trying to stay positive!

@Hewie30 I think I can see a very faint line there, fingers crossed!! Have you got a FRER for tomorrow morning?
@Gigi318 I am so excited for you, I really hope this is your month!
No changes here, still no blood or anything else for that matter, but I just think it was extremely light af, because I have no other symptoms at all. I'm not even sure if I want to bother with testing :( So I think roll on October for me x
Cannot wait for both of you to test with FRER tomorrow x

@Katie1109 thank you babe, I really hope so too! I really do! That's okay chick, I know what you mean - if testing will make you feel sad just skip it and think ahead to OD. So you're around CD4 now are we thinking? Excites for you to start DTD 😏🙊 thank you - although I have a CB, but hope that will still be okay 🤞🏻💫

@Gigi318 thanks love x I know myself too well though and I know full well that I am going to cave in and test in the next few days! Yes, if this was my af it will put me at CD4 today x on the other hand if it was IB that means I am CD26 today with usual cycles 27-28 days

@Katie1109 eeek so we are not sure either way but it's a good thing either way as you can get to the fun bit of the cycle soon, or you'll get a BFP soon! 🤞🏻👏🏻💫

@Gigi318 haha god I just don't drink enough probably 😅😂 Ooohh could be IB! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Katie1109 are you going to leave it to test then or do you think you'll cave? 😆 is had to know either way if it was me 😅

@flossy12 I'm an hoping so. Feel so exhausted and all over the place today. Argh roll on tomorrow!!!

@flossy12 I will definitely cave in,I know myself, the only question is when lol x

@Gigi318 Ahhh it's this silly website with their picture quality I think Hun it's not great to see faint lines. I thought I was going crazy but I sent it to a friend who said she saw it so I'm keeping positive!! Bring on the frer on Monday or Tuesday, hopefully AF won't show!
Oh my god I'm so frigging excited for you!!!! That 100% sounds like IB!!!!! Bring on tomorrow I can't WAIT to see your test!! How you feeling today?

@Katie1109 I'm trying not to get excited, I'm so worried it'll end up as a chemical again. Unfortunately my frer doesn't arrive until Monday or Tues 🤨😒. So I'm going to try and wait until it arrives, although knowing me I'll probably do another cheapie Sunday or Monday morning 😂. How are you today Hun? You feeling any better, did you go to the meal last night?

@Hewie30 yes we did go for a nice Chinese last night. I’m feeling ok. Wasn’t bleeding at night at all but just literally now went for a wee and there is some just a little bit of blood on my panty liner x so I guess it is af in the end, just a bit on and off for whatever reason :(.
Don’t worry hun, don’t put yourself under pressure. the only thing that kept me going after my mc was the thought that at least I know we can actually get pregnant. These things just happen and it’s nobodys fault. I do hope you get you BFP though x

@Hewie30 babe I'm confident its a BFP and SO happy for you. You deserve it!!!! So exciting. Cannot wait for it to arrive for you! Eeeeekkk thank you. I am too - I think. After the CM I was a bit thrown off, just feel exhausted today. Nauseous (dry heaved/puked on my run 🙃), bit crampy, and nipples looking all crazy. Have quite a busy day so cannot wait to get it over and done with and wake up tomorrow. I just hope 🤞🏻💫🤞🏻💫🤞🏻💫

@Katie1109 glad you went out babe, sorry forgot about that. I'm all over the place today 🙈 oh no, the blood is back! How frustrating. Okay, let's say your CD4 but you can always retest if not sure. But remember, your body CAN get pregnant and it will want to again now so you're uber fertile and time to relax and enjoy DTD and make that sweet little poppy seed 👏🏻🥰😘

@Katie1109 Oh yummm LOVE Chinese!! Did going out help? Damn the bloods back again, it's playing games with you isn't it 🙄. I agree with Gigi let's call it as your CD4 just incase. But your completely right as devestating as the MC is you know you can get pregnant and that it WILL happen for you. This next fertile window your going to be extra fertile too so I've got everything crossed for you 💓🤞. Thanks hun I'm really hoping so too!

@Gigi318 Thank you hun 💓, I'm really hoping this little pea sticks! The fact I've had a few faints now so it gives me hope i just really want it to get darker so I can be confident about it. The creamy cm is such a good thing! Even the brown in it, that makes me think it's implantation 🤪. Did yooou! Babe this is looking SO good for you I can't wait to see your test! I'm literally going to be checking tomorrow morning as soon as I wake up!! What's happening with your nipples? 😂. Mine are SO sore! I really hope we can get our positives together 🤞

@Hewie30 I'm hoping so too babe and I'm sure it will. Your positive opks make it feel that way tbh! Thank you, if you think so then I'm going to stop overanalysing and just go with it. Not long to wait now! Yes this nausea either means I'm preg or seriously poorly 🙈 like travel sickness that gross feeling in the throat and like waves coming over me!!! Eekkkkk I hope I can sleep and build up enough pee. That's such a good sign about sore nipples. Mine aren't sore like they were last week but more sensitive and they're all bumpy which makes me hopeful. And looking a bit darker - they're usually quite pale 🙌🏻🤞🏻💫

@Hewie30 I can definitely see a faint line there!!! Get that FRER ☺️ Do you have to wait for the online delivery because they don't sell them in your area? I'd be running to Boots already 😄

@Katie1109 Sorry to hear the bleeding's back ☹️ Treat yourself to something nice, next cycle could be the one. Onwards and upwards!

@Hewie30 thanks hun x yes it did take my mind off the whole thing. Well...it was blood when I posted last and now it's basically brown water! WTF? I literally have had enough now.
@Raizelrea thanks love x It's Friday so couple of drinks is in order!
@Gigi318 obviously don't want to build your hope up, but everything you're describing is a textbook early pregnancy symptoms x I cannot wait for you to test.
Ehh...I do wish I was in the same boat, as happy as I am for both of you at least having hope this is your month, it makes me really sad that it isn't mine...again.

@gigi318 Thanks hun! Fingers crossed we're right eh 😊. Katie is right all your symptoms are classic early pregnancy ones so it's so exciting!! We'll definitely get a message saying you got your positive, I know it! 🤪. Haha! Hopefully you can sleep okay, just remember to limit your drinking through the night and don't get up to pee. Go to the loo before bed and you should hopefully be ok until the morning. Bumpy and dark nipples are good!! 😍. You've definitely got every symptom!

@Raizelrea Can yoouu eek so glad you can 😊. I'm so nervous I'm hoping it won't be a chemical again! Yeah unfortunately no one near me sells them 😒, I only got a Morrisons and a Tesco so I can get clearblue and their brands but that's about it. How are you doing? 😊.

@Katie1109 That's good it kept your mind off of it 😊. Oh really? What a complete mind boggle!! I think see what it's like during the next few days. It still could be your body adjusting itself

@Katie1109 babe, you wouldn't don't worry, I think I've already built myself up 🙊 I'm feeling so happy and positive now, just cannot wait to test and hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 you girls are all just so lovely, I can genuinely feel you are all rooting for me too and it means so much 🥰 soppy moment sorry 🤣🙈 oh babbeeee 😩 that breaks my heart, I am so sorry BUT you have to stay positive and think this is your month (Oct) and you'll be one step behind us. You can do it, stay calm, happy, and enjoy it - and go make that baby 🤞🏻💫

@Hewie30 eeeek I really, really, REALLY hope so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 eeekkk do you think!? I feel so positive now 💖💖💖 sorry, just rushing as on way to an appointment and late xxx
