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.

So that’s me 8dpo today I have so much gas along with belching. Just got out the shower and got lots of watery white mucus tmi sorry and still really bloated. Period Is due on the 25th September x

@SMiles14 I know it's so hard isn't it! I n ed to start tracking stuff deffo, me and DP are thinking of starting up yoga together or going for walks/jogs. He's in a job he doesn't like and we've recently moved into our own place so I guess that's definitely some stress haha!

@SMiles14 aww this info is very useful and I wish I'd known on holiday...would have had a couple more glasses of wine 🤣 or at least not worried about the couple I did have!

I've just got a very faint bfp after a very early MC last month. That's positivity right there 🥰

Amazing news @Lemonysherbet!! Congratulations

@Lemonysherbet huge congrats!!! How long were you TTC?

@Lemonysherbet omg congrats!!! Ahhhhh that's amazing! How long were you trying if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks guys :)

This will be our third month. We only DTD once each month too. Husband now things he's got super sperm. Just got to stay cool calm and collected and hope it's a sticky bean

@Lemonysherbet wow that's amazing. Were you using ovulation sticks or was it pure guess work?!

@Hey1256 we used opks :)

That's amazing! I they don't seem to be working for me so I purchased clear blue advanced knife hopefully this will help for next month :)

Lol sorry about the typos I was half asleep when I sent the last one!

I meant to say the opks have not been working for me. I have now purchased the clear house advanced monitor so fingers crossed it nails down my ovulation as with the cheaper opk stocks apparently I wasn't ovulating!

@Lemonysherbet this is amazing news! Keep us posted !!!

@Lemonysherbet YAAAY! Congratulations that is awesome! I am inclined to agree he has super sperm haha!!

@Lemonysherbet amazing news!!!! 💜 congratulations!! So nice to hear some good news!!

Looks like my spotting was probably start of AF, roll on Oct! Good luck everyone! :)

@misssC3025 Thankyou! None of the usual af signs yet, no cramps, spotting etc. Had terrible heartburn/acid that made me feel nauseous the last 2 days- vv. unusual for me Hope this is our month I'm scared of testing yet, don't think I can face another BFN xxx

@lemonysherbert wow congratulations amazing news!! Xx

@AL94X hey!

How many dpo are you? Fingers crossed for you!

Thankyou!
I am 13 dpo, AF due tomorrow! Had a BFN a couple days ago so trying to hold off poas as long as possible xxx

Feeling very positive today, DP's sex drive reappeared last night (strangely after a row hahahah clearly I just need to annoy him and make him angry) so I'm feeling hopeful we should be able to carry on DTD every other day this month crosses fingers

Crossing my fingers for you both @Jurassiclover @AL94X !!

I'm counting the days... this month I feel like my DP and I have DTD more than normal, so I'm hoping this is the month!! Also tried more positions this month, as usually we stick to missionary (sorry TMI). I found when we did missionary it would all come out of me lol. But we did others and it hardly came out!! 😂🤞🏼

Hopefully it's made a difference. As I've heard if you have a tilted uterus (which I don't know if I do or not) other positions can help it all go in.

Anyone else know about this??

I’ve done a test today I can see a very faint line not sure how to actual post the picture on here to see what yous think I’m only 9dpo and very scared of doing tests early after my chemical. Not sure how to tell if it’s just an evap line though so bit worried about getting my hopes up x

@MisssC3025 sideways seems to work for me and I've been putting my legs up with a pillow under my bum lol not sure if it makes a difference but it feels like less comes out. And i try not to get up for at least 30 min. Oh the glory of planning dtd.

It's so weird DH has no issue with sex drive prior but ever since we've been planning it exactly by O days he seems to be mechanical lol I sense he struggles to get into it. He says he feels pressured 😂 but it's only around that time then back to normal. 4DPO today and he feels less pressure 😆

@xarx123 I'm not sure how you upload photos on here either but my fingers are crossed for you! My 1st bfp was very faint but if the line came up within a few minutes, it's more than likely not an evap xxx

@Rinoa I'm planning to try that!

Call me daft but I've been going straight to the toilet post sex and having a quick wash - do you think this will have reduced my chances?

I HATE the stuff being inside me, it freaks me out I have a serious case of ocd with it but needs must - if I should be keeping it in I will.

I just assumed that it's already gone inside so don't need the loose bits anymore?!!
