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 🤣

@Raizelrea exactly! And I don't know how I feel about that. The suspense is killing me and I'm also not sure how I feel about my lack of symptoms/suddenly feeling fine. We shall see 🤞🏻💫

@Hewie30 this is excellent news. Hurrah! I do hope there has been no more spotting for you too? Arrghhh cramps - the devil. I find I've been having them on and off for at least a week now. Only Thursday I didn't have any - but I felt so sick that day, I could have been focusing more on that 😂🙈 hoping it's all a good thing! Oh I hope I get that BFP too. Although I swear I'm just conscious of my body trying to work out of AF is going to pop up. So far this is all out of the ordinary for me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 How do you feel today?? I feel so hot 🤣🙈

@Raizelea Thanks hun 🤞♥️, fingers crossed when this frer arrives it can put my mind at ease! Nah I'm not watching line progression only because I'm not sure if I trust these tests, the line seems to change from seeable to extremely faint so I feel if I keep testing I'll worry myself even more. I'm CD 37 today so either I'm definitely pregnant or I'll end up with a long ass cycle due to a chemical but fingers crossed it's the first one 🤞

@gigi318 Thankfully no spotting today! Hopefully that'll stay away! Ahh aren't they just 🤨, I know exactly how you feel hun I'm doing exactly the same and rushing to the loo once you feel wet down there or after you get a cramp? 😂. Sickness is really good! The fact your in-tune with your body and know what's odd for you is really good, it definitely gives you the upper hand 😊. How you feeling today? I'm okay, nipples are still sore but not as sore so hoping that doesn't mean anything. I've completely gone off food too

Morning ladies x
How are we doing? I'm glad to see AF hasn't arrived for neither @Hewie30 or @Gigi318 ! Fingers crossed for both of you. I haven't tested myself at all, although I might do tomorrow morning for the peace of mind because I am a smoker x No symptoms really, occasional twinge, but no sore boobs etc x

@Hewie30 oh yes, my day is much like this. And then I try not to pee so I can leave it longer between checking. Just had more spotting after going for a walk but it's definitely CM. It's the consistency of it rather than a period 🤔 or so it seems 🤣 I'm feeling good which is a nice change although it makes me worry haha! The odd twinge here and there. Tired and hungry today!!! But feeling very positive for the morning 🤞🏻💫

@Katie1109 morning babe! I hope you had a nice weekend? Yay so glad for no AF yet. Less than 24 hours to survive now hehe! Testing tomorrow sounds good - it can't hurt if you are thinking it's a no, just to be sure! And if BFN you're already a week into this next cycle so you are literally winning either way 👏🏻 how are you feeling? X

@Gigi318 glad you're feeling ok. CM is definitely a good sign. Don't know about you by my CM literally is non-existent before my AF, so maybe you'll get your BFP x I had a lovely weekend thank you, haven't done much or anything special, but it was lovely and relaxing. I'm feeling ok, felt a bit of nausea about 30 mins ago, but it might be because I haven't had my breakfast then yet, now I'm ok x no symptoms, so it will be a BFN 99.99%. Are you testing tomorrow? Fingers crossed for you x

I have just had my 5th wee of the day tmi I know lol...only been up 3.5 hours?! I did have 1 mug of coffee though. Relevant? I'm just being stupid now aren't I? Lol x

@Katie1109 thank you chick, and so pleased you had a relaxing weekend. Mine was similar but with a huge lack of sleep 🙈 I feel dizzy and nauseous too now. I just can't win. I think I left it too late to eat too, but hey ho! Yes testing in the morning too. Thank you chick 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 hehehe no definitely not stupid. It could be something. They say it's a sign of early pregnancy as if you are, I'm guessing you must be around 4-5 weeks now. So that would be quite normal 😬🥰

@Gigi318 I'm really hoping you get your BFP x I'll test tomorrow too, but to be fair it's just to be safe with smoking etc x I think if I was pregnant my boobs would be sore as they were when I had my mc x and they are not sore at all, they're actually quite nice and soft lol x

@Katie1109 thank you so much, chick - that's so kind. I am hoping so too 🤞🏻💖 yea definitely best to be safe, isn't it! Mine aren't all that sore to be honest, they just feel fuller. It's the nipples that have me convinced with the little bumps and how huge they are 🙈🙊

@gigi318 Haha I'm exactly the same 😂😂. Trying to leave it as long as I can then going to check! I tried to check my cervix but got no idea if I'm doing it right 😂🤷. Cm is a good sign hun! I've got high hopes for you tomorrow honestly ♥️. I really hope you get your BFP! 😍. Are you using a frer tomorrow?

@Katie1109 morning!! Thanks hun, fingers crossed they stay away for us 🤞🤞. Peeing alot is a good sign! It's so hard not to read into things isn't it 😂

@Hewie30 you would have thought I'll stop reading into things after what I think was a very light af last week? Naaah, not me. Miss effing hopeful here lol x Feeling nausea again, even though I ate breakfast now. Ahhh... god knows, roll on tomorrow!

@Hewie30 who knew we'd be so excited to check our knickers for stains 🤣🤣🤣 it's hilarious!!! I read a little about checking the cervix online but couldn't tell if it felt more like a nose or lips so was kind of lost 🤷‍♀️ so funny. Too scared to check now 😬 I am just going to wait for the morning eek! Yes, I have my FRER at the ready. Cannot WAIT for yours to be delivered. Really hope they come today!!! Thank you so much, the nausea is now back so I am hopeful 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I really hope the FRs come through for us both tomorrow 💖🥰

@Katie1109 There's nothing wrong with being hopeful at all! How long did that light spotting last for last week? It sounds very light to be AF although I don't want to get your hopes up too much because it's gutting if you find out otherwise!

@gigi318 Haha I know right 😂😂, we must look crazy but it's definitely reassuring when you look and nothings there lol! Whaoo!! Good stuff! Remember go for a pee before bed then hold it in, try and keep water intake lower if you can 🤞😊. Funny you should say that, it literally arrived before I left for work so it's at home ready and waiting for tomorrow. Hopefully we get positives with them 😍. Do you! That's so good! My nausea is on and off at the moment but starting to get backpain!

@Hewie30 it lasted 3 days, but god knows what my mc last month did to my cycle and everything else down there. To be fair I was expecting a very heavy af this month, because I read that's mostly the case after mc x To be honest with you, I am more anxious about yours and Gigi318 test tomorrow morning x I think mine is just a formality to ensure it is a BFN so I can move on mentally to the next cycle x
Although the nausea is starting to get worse now, I'm trying to put it down to weekend drinking lol x

@Hewie30 I know 🤣 I'm trying to stop it from consuming my thoughts or my day, but it's difficult when I feel so sick! Absolutely - I'm trying to get all my water in now so that I won't be up in the night. I feel so much pressure to sleep through and not need to wee. Hilarious as I never ever get up to wee - but now I can't it's all I want to do 🤣🙃🙄 I think we're the same symptom wise at the moment. Fingers crossed. Although time to go check for me I think 😂🙈

@Katie1109 eeeek I am so nervous for mine. Maybe that's why I feel sick 🤣 overthinking it 🙈 as you can see, trying to come up with a reason for every symptom haha. Yes just good to know either way!!!

Checked and all clear since my walk at 9am 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I was starting to feel wetter (clearly in my mind) but nothing 💃💃💃

I've got to say the whole thing about figuring out ehether your cervix is like your nose or your mouth sounds hilarious - not sure if I'd even confidently find my cervix so think I'll pass on that one haha!

I got a flu jab today so feeling good about myself haha - while it may not exactly help thing this cycle it will definitely be useful down the line if I do get pregnant in the next few months!

@Raizelrea doesn't it 🤣 I'm was comparing the two thinking lord knows 🤷‍♀️ and haven't tried since. Don't worry, you'd find it. The ball shaped thing 🙊 but yeah, definitely pass. I did not find it useful 😂🙈 absolutely. That's such a good idea. I feel like I may have to follow in your footsteps although never had it before. But if BFP I'll go for it 👌🏻

@Gigi318 I've never had it done before either but it eas absolutely fine, took maybe 10 minutes altogether and it doesn't hurt or anything. Figured it may be useful as everyone in the office seems very germy lately and it will probably only get worse haha

@Raizelrea absolutely! I work alone but always seem to pick up colds. I eat well and take vitamins but always the first to catch a bug 🙃🙄 so it sounds good to me!

@Gigi318 I know, anything to boost the immune system! If I lived in the medieval times things wouldn't go great for me...

Ladies...I've just been sick?!?!?! Nausea is terrible at the moment and got heartburn as well?! OMG what the hell is going on?

@Katie1109 eeeeeeek this sounds really exciting!!!! Do you usually suffer with heartburn? I've never had it before but think I had a tiny bout a week or so ago and it freaked me out 😬😬😬 I don't want to get your hopes up but I'm so excited to hear this!!!!

@Katie1109 Are you testing tomorrow? Could still be a positive with the bleeding only having been light. Or it could be psychosomatic because you still don't quit know. Either way I'd be testing to get a bit of reassurance!

@Gigi318 and @Raizelrea thank you x yes I have got a FRER at home and will test tomorrow just so I know one way or another. No I don't normally suffer from heartburn, but I did last month when I had my mc x
