TTC buddies Baby #1 - anyone ?

[Lila34830]

Hey ladies 👋🏽
Just thought I'd post this to find some buddies in the TTC journey as a clueless gal trying for baby #1 ! 🫶🏽
Ovulated today, so I guess the 2WW starts ! ⏰
Anyone else starting their 2WW ? ☺️

I would love to know what age is classed as being a dino 🦕 I might not be as young as I thought I was 😂

😂😂😂 I think we're all very young ! But in terms of trying for baby #1, I consider myself a dino as I'm 35 soon 😂

I've had such a down couple of hours and I've convinced myself it won't happen for me. I'm too old, must have shit egg quality & scared il never have kids which has been a dream for me and my OH for like forever. Sorry to hear doom and gloom but struggling today. I might start testing tomo so that I can get it out my head and move on. 9dpo is super early though so I don't know whether to wait one more day x

@HopefulSS we all get down about this so don't worry at all! Your super early still so your not out!! Maybe test tomorrow and if nothing wait as doesn't implantation happen around day 10-12? Not too sure? Xxxx

Aw girl I’m sorry you feel this way!! We all have these moments. I’m sure you and your OH are going to be mum and dad one day soon, your still so early on in your ttc journey so try not to think negatively, even though it’s easier said than done. If testing at 9DPO will bring you some comfort, then you do you.. just make sure you don’t count yourself out based on a 9DPO result because your not out until AF arrives.

@HopefulSS aw girl! If testing early makes you feel better then do it, it's all about mental wellbeing. I'm praying it's positive for you and don't forget that even though it is so hard mentally from day 1 (I think my first cycle was the worst idk why) you still have rounds left before you can consider a little science push
🤎

@HopefulSS thinking of you!! Do whatever you need to do to get yourself in a good headspace. We're here if you want to talk and get everything out of your head xx

I a funny feeling AF may show up nearly a week early.. I was REALLY emotionally last night crying over nothing, snappy and today I’ve had sore boobs and really bad bloating - all signs I normally have a day or two before AF! I’m only 6/7 DPO so too early for any HCG to be having any kind of effect on me, completely baffled as this has never happened to me since I came off BC over a year ago! No idea what’s going on with my body if this does happen!

Let us know if it comes early !
But could be a mix of progesterone / implantation too ??

Ohhh of course, I’m hoping it’s not the case of course.
I’m so bloated that even eating is causing really bad stomach cramps!! Had to stop half way through my tea as felt unbareable. Taking that into consideration why am I crazy enough to want to push a baby out?! 😂😂 can’t even handle gas stomach cramping!!

good evening ladies, feeling suddenly a bit down aswell, dunno why! Maybe because work day is over and DH came home with bad energy from work and barely talk. Feeling suddenly alone in this. It’s crazy how our emotions shifts quickly, i was positive this morning and now rollercoaster of emotions….

Evening lovely lady!! All feelings are temporary ☺️ they will shift and change. Completely normal being down and worrying, we all end up there. It’s almost bedtime, so maybe get tucked up in bed, watch a feel good film and try unwind for a little before sleep, maybe even throw in a facemask! Normal for OH to be up and down too, hopefully just a bad day at work and will pass as soon as it arrived. Hope you wake up tomorrow feeling loads better!! We will be another day closer to knowing where we all stand by the morning.

Morning lovely ladies, thanks very much for all your supportive messages! This particular thread is really nice. I didn't test today as I still feel 9dpo is too early, but I might test tomorrow morning at 10dpo. I know it's so early but I get super worried it will never happen. I'm in the office today so should be busy & then il try to do a yoga class or the gym. Fingers crossed we all get our bfps before Xmas xx

Morning dino club 🦕
I hope everybody has a good day today, a busy one, full of good energies 🫶🏽
I love this thread. I'm sure it will happen for all of us, my friend who is a gyno specialised in fertility once told me that in this day and age, with all the means science has, being totally infertile is extremely rare. And I've always kept that in mind, it made me feel really good, so I hope it can help you too xxx

Morning all! @Lila34830 that's so good to hear!!! Hope you all have a lovely day which passes quick!!! So another day down 😂😂😂

Morning ladies!!

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Managed to get my bloating to calm down last night with a hot water bottle, I looked 4 months pregnant with how bad it was!! Not sure still if AF will arrive, as still have sore boobs, but nothing too painful or crazy.

In work today, hopefully have a busy day and wish the same for you all.

Feeling strangely calm this month, not sure why? I am 7/8DPO today.. this time last month I was riddled with the need to test and gave in. Then proceeded to do it twice daily, just to upset myself further. Really hope I can hold out until Monday this month.

@KT199 same here re testing I feel quite resilient ! (Tbh I'm only 5 or 6 dpo ). Trying to focus on work and stay busy !

Yeah me too!! I don’t know where this calmness has come from.. because I have literally the least chill possible when it comes to absolutely everything 😂. I do wonder if the worry/anxiety will kick in over next few days!

Thank you so much fellow dino 🦕 this has helped me so so much today!! It's made me feel like there's hope no matter how, I have a good chance of conceiving whether that be assisted or not xx

I'm going to try to hold out until Saturday or Sunday I think... which will be 11-12dpo. I think then il accept I am out and mentally move on. Have a lovely day x

Glad it helped you @HopefulSS !

Do what is best for you 😊 if an early test will help you mentally then go ahead and do it! If I start to feel really stressed/anxious over the coming days I know I will cave and do an early test. Even if the result is disappointing I feel more in control if I know what is going on / where I stand. Xx

💕

@KT199 yeah part of me feels like it may allow me to move on if I get a negative at 11dpo. But it will upset me. I've tried to say to myself that Christmas is what I am aiming for and anything before is a bonus. Probs won't stay in my head though 😂 you ok? X

It’s normal to be upset though, no negative is nice to see when your ttc and really want to see a positive. I think it has the same effect on most of us! Yeah I’m feeling okay today, i’m trying to not have obsessive thoughts but can’t really be helped, fully immersed in symptom spotting now I’m 7/8DPO. Trying to keep myself busy in work, but just find my mind ends up elsewhere 🤣
