Ttc #1 and cycle 1. Anyone else?

[Newbiemg]

Hello

As title says ttc #1, cycle 1, 30 yo. I got my 1st flashing smiley this morning on the CB test.

Thought it would be nice to hear from other ladies in a similar position.

I’m confused what CD this is for me. I have another full thread on this so won’t rewrite it here but if anyone can help me on that thread (title: my first ever flashing smiley please help) I’d be grateful as I’m very confused. This may be CD10 for me or may be CD5

How are your new journeys going?

@SMD16 where is holiday?
@Newbiemg congrats on new job!
2022 will be our yearsladies

@RMS0209 Dominican Republic for 11 nights for my 30th and OH's birthday is whilst we are out there too.

@SMD16 @RMS0209 thanks both! And congrats on yours for September @SMD16

So jealous of your holiday! Also my 30th was in full lockdown rubbish so need to have a better 31st.

Yes 2022 year of the bfps! lol

@Newbiemg my 28th was full lockdown and 29th was the day before pubs et opened indoors lol

Good morning/afternoon ladies!

Congrats on the new jobs @SMD16 @Newbiemg!

Another 30th in lockdown here! Although it was a semi-lockdown. We could leave our houses/go for dinner but couldn’t see anyone else.

I think I’m now 1dpo. At least I am according to Premom. Let the TWW begin…

@pickles91 good luck for the TWW x

Another day down! Woo. How you guys all feeling today?

@Pickles91 good luck!

I just got my highest rating on OPK not positive just yet but the lines almost look the same and Premom put it as 0.57 and earlier I had 0.25 and I am having some pains but not sure if they’re ov pains or if it’s because I’ve been holding my wee so much 😂

Midday compared to now it’s getting there isn’t it?…

It’s definitely getting there!! Mine looked like that 36 hours-ish before peak. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Pickles91 Hope mine is the same!

I’m hoping for peak on Thursday because my OH will be home all day so I can jump on him at anytime 😂

But I think I will just try to dtd tonight and tomorrow night maybe too to cover all days lol

He’s going to feel like the luckiest fella in the world 😂

@Pickles91 😂 until peak is over and I’m telling him to get off me again lol

Are you all going to test with frer or other brands of test out of interest?

@Newbiemg looking good! Get on tonight and bad much as you can haha.

I'm not sure, what do you think? I think I'd liken to use the FR one, I'm going to go on Amazon and do an order tonight actually I meant to do it earlier

Hmmm I would prefer to use a FRER, but they’re pretty expensive if it takes a while to get preggers. Might stick with the easy@home cheapies for now

@Pickles91 @RMS0209 I got discounted FRER (pack of two for £6) and then a pack of cheap easy@home tests. Options 😂

FYI ladies! On offer

Ooh all the options! You’re more prepared than me @lakejupiter!

Thanks for the screenshot @RMS0209. I’ll have to see if it’s the same on our Amazon.

@RMS0209

FYI ladies! On offer

I just go co op as they are £4 in there lol

@SMD16 for one test or a pack of two? They’re £7.99 for pack of two in the co-op here lol

For a pack of two @SMD16 ? I need to get to the co-op!

Are you all ttc your first babies or do any of you already have children?

Update from me: I have weird soft stabbing pains that feel sort of like ovulation pain and go down my left leg. Can't figure out if it's insanely early AF or a digestive thing or something else. I have real gut feeling the last few days that I ovulated too late on this cycle and we didn't catch it. I'm also realising that i have never in my life paid this much attention to how my luteal phase feels so trying to keep tabs on stuff so I can survive the next TWW 😂 hopefully with a bit more dignity than this one

@Newbiemg @lakejupiter every time I've been to Co op they have definitely been £4 for a pack of two, must have been an offer or something! It's my closest shop as well so not too bad.
