TTC 1st Baby. Keep positive thread. Please join

[MisssC3025]

Hey everyone

Please join me on my journey of TTC baby no 1 (5 months of TTC). It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and I think a positive thread of news, updates and tips is needed!

Feel free to introduce yourselves and explain where you're all at in your journeys.

@Jurassiclover I did think of you and hope you were okay! Wow that's a lot of hours! You working this weekend?? What do you do?

Sorry to hear about the rows! ❤️ I hope all is okay now? How often have you BDed during fertile time? Do you know when you're ovulating?

Sorry 1000 questions 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
Xx

@MisssC3025 just working today, got Saturday off haha! And I'm a project trainer in a call centre so I train out all new clients and any updates and stuff - they've got me in today for floor support mainly so just answering questions any of the new guys have while they're answering calls etc. What about you?

Yeah we're okay now thankfully! He just hates his job and was over stressed and acting out I think. We have a spa trip booked in 2 weeks that should help us both chill haha!

So far I don't actually know when my fertile window is as I'm still recently off the pill! But last cycle was 42 days so clue is predicting fertile period is about to start. We've so far managed to BD 4 times this cycle so far which is so little 😭 so hoping OV hadn't already happened haha (although haven't had any OV symptoms so I don't think it has yet)

After this cycle if nothing happens I might get some cheap OPKs just so I can get a better idea of which CD I usually OV

Hahaha it's okay😂 how are you?xx

@Jurassiclover oh of course ! So sorry you have mentioned your long cycles before, so many people to remember each individual detail 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I really hope they start getting regular for you ASAP! Yes opks would be you're best shout. Heard the CB tracker is good. Never used but see a lot of people talking about it on here.

Hope your DP is okay. Work can be such a burden sometimes bless you both! However, this spa day sounds amazing! Enjoy every minute of it!! 4 days of BDing could do the trick! If not don't fret next month BD as often as poss. I read up that BD every other day would help, but this month we thought we'd try every day during the fertile stage (exhausting lol) but it worked for us. Otherwise there's the SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) don't know if you saw that?

Your jobs very similar to mine in terms of training. I'm a commercial trainer training courses to managers, sales execs, service advisors, technicians etc who work in the car industry! Spooky how we are both trainers!

I'm okay today not as bloated as I have been. My tummies quite flat today, so I'm like little bean are you still there? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I need to relax lol 😆 everything my poor body does I'm like wth! Is this normal? And sadly I go straight to google which isn't the best idea 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ah don't worry about it! Always hard to keep track on threads haha. Yeah I'm hoping they settle down soon. Definitely gonna stock up on OPKs if needs be. Yeah I've heard a lot of people talk about that too but haven't researched, might have a look tbh.

Oh yeah I cannot wait for the spa day, I'm gonna make the most of everything while there! Yeah, I've heard of SMEP and thinking of trying that next month if nothing this cycle. Oh wow that does sound exhausting haha! But definitely worth it for you!

Oh wow that is actually spooky hahah! I don't actually know anyone else in a training role irl so it's actually interesting to talk to someone in a similar kind of role.

Ahhh bless you haha! I've heard the bloating can come and go during the first few weeks! Yeah google is so helpful but can be such a weapon at times! But I'm sure it's normal to be looking this up and worrying tbh I know when I eventually get my BFP I'll probably be worrying like mad haha. Why do we do this to our selves eh?😂. Hopefully you feel more relaxed soon though!🤞

@MisssC3025 x

Hey girls! I've actually recently applied for a virtual training role 😂 how weird is that!

@Jurassicloveroooo spa day sounds amazing! Hope u definitely enjoy it 😊 We usually go to a cabin in the forest this time of year but not this time as we've had car trouble.

@MisssC302 5
I'm freaking out as I'm planning to test tomorrow but last night and this morning I'm getting dull cramps like I would around AF time. No blood when I wipe but I'm freaking out! 🙁

Just realised I said I was off Saturday I meant Sunday 🤦 it's been a long ass week hahah!

@Rinoa oh wow hahah how strange! Got my fingers crossed for you! Yeah I can't wait for the spa like! Never done a cabin in the woods type thing yet but love the idea. Neither of us drive though cause where we live there's either a metro station or bus stop like every 5 mins so driving just isn't a priority and a lot of the cabin type things seem to be somewhere we'd need to drive 😔

@Rinoa all the best for tomorrow will be thinking of you 🤞🏼💙💕🤞🏼

@Jurassiclover haha don't worry sweetie I knew what you meant 🤪

Hope you're okay! I'm feeling good this eve 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Morning guys :) I'm 10 dpo, just did a test and it's a BFN, if I was pregnant would it be positive by now? :(

@Tbug oh I'm sorry to hear this, but not necessarily! It's always recommended to test on first day of missed period. Even thought a lot of us don't lol! I think the saying is you're only out when AF comes 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 everything crossed

Okay, due on Wednesday so fingers crossed it doesn't happen. If not, I'm due to ovulate on my bday next month so maybe that will be the lucky month 😍😍

@Tbug 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you! Next month just keep BD!! 💃🏻💃🏻

Girls... so I got a positive! 13DPO I took 2 cheap test first as first one I still couldn't believe then a digital because why not. I had 2 😂

I can't upload pictures supposedly there is a limit per day? I updated another thread so maybe that's why :(

Anyway 2 cheap tests showed a light line but definitely visible , digital says 1-2 weeks pregnant!

Omg !!!! Amazing congrats! New this thread was so so lucky !! 💙💕💙💕💙

@Rinoa congrats!!! So happy for u x

@MisssC3025 its the luckiest thread 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💝

A massive congratulations @Rinoa was this your first time testing? How many DPO are you? Sorry if you already mentioned this earlier!

Thanks girls! Keep me in your prayers please these next 3 months are crucial so I hear !

I'm 13DPO, first round of Clomid 😁 but we've been ttc for almost 2 years . I'm feeling some dull cramping still, no bleeding. Hope that's normal!

Will do 🤞🏼🙏 amazing news after 2years!

I've had cramping all normal xx

@Rinoa omggg! Congratulations! So happy for you!

I'm feeling good at the minute, BD twice yesterday and DP seems keen to BD again today hahah! Makes a change since he's been off with it recently, so I'm happy his sex drive has reappeared - and clue predicts my fertile period is beginning so it's perfect timing haha!

All the best for you @Jurassiclover ! I've honestly been reading your name as Jurassic clover !! 😂😂 can I blame baby brain yet? 😂😂

Hello all. I just did my first cycle of trying to conceive to a bfn. I promised myself I would be relaxed and take it as its comes but I have been a paranoid mess.

I'm 31, but still feel like time isn't on my side. It hasn't helped the DH convinced me I would fall pregnant immediately.

Congratulations those who got their BFP this month

Hey welcome @Blindingpeaky !! How many dpos were you when you tested??

Hi Everyone,
Congratulations to the BFP's
I'm hoping this is a lucky thread.
So we are ttc #2 we tried for 2 years and then had a year break and this is the first month trying again.
I'm 9dpo and I really want to test in the morning.
I feel bloated, had headaches, felt like I was going to get a cold yesterday and was exhausted, today feel better. I had a very small amount of very pale pink blood when I wiped yesterday. I hoping this is all positive signs.
