TTC Feb 2023

[ukMummyof1]

Can't find a thread for this but I'm TTC #2. In on CD1 as AF arrived this morning... feel free to join this thread xxx

Hey! How is everyone this morning?

I'm now 7dpo, likely going to cave and test tomorrow even though it's defo too early haha! I'm supposed to be meeting some friends Friday night for drinks so will be 10dpo but I'm just worried that it might even be too early then to test and I would hate to go out and then a few days later turns out I am pregnant. Either that or not go but then turns out I'm not pregnant... I would rather not go for the first reason but I've got no idea what excuse to use😳 what would you ladies do? Xx

I finally got my static smiley this morning so gonna have a very romantic valentines day lol in the hopes some magic happens!

@ukMummyof1
Could you go out but not drink? Say you are recovering from an iffy tummy. (I personally think the antibiotic excuse everyone comes out with is a load of shit as you can drink on antibiotics and it basically gives away to everyone that you're pregnant/trying in my opinion!)

im still holding off from testing 8DPO.
I've convinced myself I am pg so I can't handle the disappointment tbh... would rather hold out as long as possible

@ukMummyof1
I tested positive this morning 11dpo
Can't actually believe it

@Ttcpph
I was convinced I was pregnant
Turns out I am 😂

Congratulations @VictoriaBlossom xx

@VictoriaBlossom gentle congratulations to you. Is that the first time you've tested this month? Or did you do earlier ones the were neg?

@Ttcpph
Nah first time testing
Knew it was pointless testing too early
Didn't expect to get a result tbf we only had sex once last month and it wasn't to try and make a baby.
Family holiday booked to Jamaica in June so I don't actually know what to do now 😂😂😂

@Floralsandsmiles
Thank you
Currently sat on a women's forum who know I'm pregnant before my OH or my mum 😂

@VictoriaBlossom congratulations! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy❤️❤️❤️

😂😂😂

Haha aww bless you! 🥰 xxx

It was arranged a few weeks back but to bars and then they want to go to a club I think, I think I might just make up the old 'bug' fib😬

@ukMummyof1 thank you. Feel very uneasy after the mmc. But what will be will be eh!
Going back to your post this morning. I had a friend who literally spent weeks on the piss, went to Ibiza, did a load of drugs and her DS is 7 now.
She didn't know she was pregnant til she was 3 months

@ukMummyof1 If they are decent friends they will just let it go under the radar. I've had friends over the years 'on antibiotics', driving, not feeling it, health kick. What ever they want to say. We all knew they were early pregnancy but we said nothing

Hi there! Just created the account after googling this topic for the thousand time. I'm TTC since last June, bf has low sperm count and in between I've been on Sertraline for about 6 months (libido, where?). Now I've withdrawing from it and back to myself, I suffer PCOS and got unexpectedly pregnant Dec 2018, miscarried Jan 2019. We're lost of ideas at this point, thinking on booking GP appointment to seek profesional help before going to fertility clinic, I'm 37 at this point. I'm losing all hope at this point.

@GeekyMina welcome!

I don't know much about the referral/gp type stuff as yet as we are still relatively early in our ttc journey but I just wanted to say welcome.
can totally relate to the lack of labido on sertraline. I was on it a few years back and came off it eventually partly for that reason!

I don't know much about fertility treatments but with low sperm count could IUI or ICSI be an option for you?

Thanks for the warm welcome @Ttcpph <3

I've been taking Folid Acid for years as it helped with my PCOS symptoms and now we are both taking Pregnacare vitamins, as adviced by our GP. We also went through a fertility test back on Summer 2020 to see our possibilities, but because of Covid we delayed TTC by 2 years. I've been thinking about home insemination, I've seen kits online but ovulation strips don't work on me and I'm not sure if trying ourselves without doctor supervision would be a good idea. Just thought if the is a low count at least give it a push ourselves with the kit but we never end up buying it. Anyone around has tried it?

Otherwise you're correct, IUI is one of the options we have strongly considered.

I got my bfp! Hoping more than anything that it's a sticky one!

@RaindropsOnRoses22 Wahoooo. Congrats.
Will keep my fingers crossed for a sticky!

@RaindropsOnRoses22 this is amazing! Tentative congratulations and will keep everything crossed for a sticky baby for you xxx

Wow congratulations to those with BFPs😀What a valentines day surprise!!
@ukMummyof1 I am going to be in a similar situation next Friday and I think I will test at 10dpo then if nothing shows it will likely be too early for the alcohol to make a difference anyway - but just dont go mental! So many people drink in the 2ww and are absolutely fine so I wouldn't worry about it. Or can you drive/ say you have to get up early/ recovering from stomach bug?

I'm just starting my 2ww - anyone else? Trying to weigh up the merits of dtd again tonight, had peak opk on Sunday so could have O'd yesterday or could still be today I guess? So exhausted though, this would be the 4th day in a row!!

@RaindropsOnRoses22 tentative congratulations to you 💕 fingers crossed you have a smooth and successful pregnancy 💕

@RaindropsOnRoses22 congrats.
Surreal day for us, we had an offer accepted on a house as well about 4 hours ago

@BudgetBuster @Floralsandsmiles @TunnocksTCake @Ttcpph @VictoriaBlossom

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed it sticks!

@VictoriaBlossom Congratulations!!? What a day! How exciting!
