Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

@kty09 Haha I'll bet! Have you told your OH yet?

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 08:25

@taytay2020 thank you for the congratulations!
I haven’t...he’s away, he’s home on his birthday in two days! I’m going to have to wait 😱

taytay2020 · 20/04/2021 09:16

@kty09 😯 That'll be a good birthday present!! Omg I don't know if I could keep it secret that long 😀

justwant2beamum · 20/04/2021 09:56

@Kty09 ahh congrats!! With a rhr like that I knew your BFP would be coming!! Xx

After casually remarking a few days ago that I might actually have a regular cycle, it's all gone tits up! My CB opk is on day 5 of flashing smiley but I was expecting it to go static yesterday! I wonder if it just missed my peak - I had EWCM on Sunday so I think it's possible I actually ovulated yesterday. Weirdly, the CB instructions say to test with fmu, but I thought opks should be done later in the day. Last cycle I tested in the afternoon, this cycle I tested with fmu. Maybe that made a difference?

I'm also using one step opks and am increasingly convinced they're absolutely useless cos I haven't had a hint of a positive yet (last month or this month)! I'm gonna test a few times a day for the next two days, and keep BDing, then call it quits for this month and hope for the best 😀

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 13:50

@justwant2beamum I didn’t even realise about the rhr thing really until you mentioned!

@taytay2020 I don’t know how I’m going to keep it secret 😯! I’m googling all sorts today and my mind is absolutely everywhere!! 😂 those one step OPKs are crap I think!

I used pre seed this cycle - it might have been coincidence but that’s what I did differently this cycle, I don’t really get any EWCM, also only DTD before OD not on or after.
Xx

Hi

I just wanted advice on which clinic to go to for immune testing following a miscarriage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

xoJellyBean · 20/04/2021 15:21

@Kty09 congrats girl!!! What dpo are you??

@Weekitkat sorry I can't help :( not sure where you would go x

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 17:04

Thanks @xoJellyBean I am 13dpo according to femometer app! X

justwant2beamum · 20/04/2021 18:18

@Kty09 ooh thanks I'm defo going to order either pre seed or conceive plus for next cycle as I don't get much ewcm! X

xoJellyBean · 20/04/2021 18:31

@Kty09 amazing! What a good line :) what cycle was this? I'm 2dpo, send help 😂

extrababydust123 · 20/04/2021 18:33

Sorry to jump in here and massive congrats @Kty09!! 🥳 can I just ask what kind of symptoms you’ve had up until now and when they started? I’m horrendous for symptom spotting and I’m only 3dpo 😫

Kty09 · 20/04/2021 18:40

@xoJellyBean thank you! My jaw literally hit the floor when I saw the line at first!! I had my implant out in jan so I think this is the 3rd since then.

@extrababydust123 aw thank you! I had the longestttt TWW ever! 😩 If I wasn’t looking out for things I deffo wouldn’t know, I don’t feel much different at all. The only change for me was - boobs hurt running downstairs lol, they feel bigger and a bit tender round the sides, I also usually get extremely painfully bloated with cramps in the run up to AF and I haven’t had that or any AF symptoms to seem like I was coming on.
Good luck!! 🤞🏼✨

extrababydust123 · 20/04/2021 18:47

@Kty09 the TWW wait is horrible, can’t wait for it to be over 🤣 thank you Angel!! I’ll look out for tender boobs, I’m sure I’ll imagine they’re hurting regardless haha. Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy 💖

Kat668 · 21/04/2021 09:16

Ahhh @Kty09 huge congratulations!! That's amazing news 🥰

ohhisammi · 21/04/2021 11:39

Kty09 · 21/04/2021 11:47

@Kat668 @ohhisammi aw thank you! I hope so too! Lucky month for all I hope 🤞🏼
I think my due date will be around New Year’s Eve x

Sarie24 · 21/04/2021 12:35

Hey guys, I hope you don't mind me joining... I've been reading through this thread and have learned so much from you all already! :)

I'm TTC for baby number 1 and this is our first cycle too - I'm CD12 and on day 3 of flashing smiley on the CB opk. Got EWCM today so I think my peak is probably imminent. Was a bit worried as OH has been poorly with a migraine the last two days so wasn't up for dtd but fortunately the flashing smiley has persisted so hoping we've still got time before the peak :)

I'm really excited to see that some of you have had some good news too, congratulations @Kty09 !! :D

taytay2020 · 21/04/2021 12:54

@sarie24 welcome! Ooh sounds like your peak could happen tomorrow, exciting times!

xoJellyBean · 21/04/2021 13:32

@Sarie24 welcome 🥰 hope you get a lucky cycle! 🤞🏻 x

@Genevive123, how you doing?? Haven't heard from you in a while x

I was seen by my GP today and I'm booked in for day 21 bloods so it'll be interesting to see what the results are 🙈

Sarie24 · 21/04/2021 14:02

@taytay2020 I have my fingers crossed! How's this cycle going for you? From reading above it sounds like you're having a bit of a confusing month!

@xoJellyBean thank you! I hope everything goes well for you with the blood tests :)

taytay2020 · 21/04/2021 14:19

@xojellybean Good luck with your tests x

@sarie24 Thanks yeah I'm pretty sure my CB tests just missed my peak this month. Bit weird, but I'm choosing to believe the problem was with the tests not my body! So I'm feeling pretty good about this month, as we got plenty of BDing in between Fri and Tues (and from EWCM I reckon I ovulated on Monday). Fingers crossed!

@genevive123 I've been thinking about you too - hope you're not too disappointed that this month didn't work out, and looking ahead to next cycle?
