TTC FIRST BABY - New cycle, let's go girls !

[Lila34830]

Follow up form TTC BABY #1 - cycle buddies.
For all the girls trying to conceive their first baby !

:( sorry to hear that for you, fingers crossed for next cycle for you!! It will hopefully fly around x

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses 💛💛

But welcome to our little corner of MN x

@KT199 I have all my fingers crossed for you! How many DPO are you? X

7DPO, so would be a little early to feel/notice something but not impossible.. just more likely to be nothing 😂 trying to keep my rational head on!

It's so hard to keep to stay rational and not pick apart every little twinge in your body, I was the exact same last month!
I'm still having zero pregnancy symptoms however all my usual PMS symptoms are showing up slowly but surely. Have not stopped eating today and cried at a netflix programme so... I'm more than expecting AF in 5 or so days 😅😅😅

@Lila34830 oh darling, well I see this as a BFP in itself. I have this blood test next week and honestly, DTD without ovulating is futile so you can get it addressed…Hopefully the first line stimulants help you but at least you’re aware of what is happening. I am eager for that clarity.

Ladies how do you know DPO? Are you educated guessing? I think mine was today or yesterday based off app / Flo / static smiley on Sunday. We DTD Sunday, got home late beyond knackered last night, hubby was still working until 10 and I’m back to the office now so don’t think I can squeeze in another DTD until tomorrow but think that’s too late.

I thought the “stretchy egg white” CM was the ovulation one (which I rarely get) - interesting to know it’s the white runny one (which I do get!) but I don’t get much discharge!

Morning girls, Thank you all for your messages re the blood test ! This little corner of MN is the best 🤎
Feeling hopeful today and I know there's a fix so I'm keeping my spirits up. Focusing on fitness and eating well :)

Welcome to all newcomers !

@Toppstileslover bouncing back on the CM comment, it can be both ! Runny slippery or thick and stretchy from what I've learnt from this Gyno woman ! So as long as you have these I'm sure you're fine !

@HE93C I am so sorry you had to live this, must have been absolutely heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 sending you loads of positive energies for this next chapter

For all the curvy and beautiful girls out here, I also had a chat with gyno re bmi as I'm on the higher range, as long as you're below 35 it's ok, but could do with losing a bit of weight (don't get me started on the relevance of the bmi, I'm a weightlifter, I've always been heavy with bigger muscle mass than some ppl, ANYWAYS !)
He said it's for the efficiency of treatment. I do get that to an extent, but I still think it should be a case by case basis and not a height / weight ratio !

Have a wonderful day.
Someone give us a BFP this month please ! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Ps : I just figured I can write and come back to the chat without losing my message to check all the messages to reply to and I'm so excited 🤣🤣🤣 I used to try and memorise who I needed to reply to hahahahaha

Morning ladies
8DPO over here and feeling fed up. 😂
Was kept awake through the night with really bad bloating and a noisy tummy and TMI but when I’ve got up this morning I’ve also got a really upset stomach so not sure if I’ve caught a bug or something that doesn’t agree with me!

@KT199 when are you planning on testing ?? I've got everything crossed for you !

could it be hormones? 🤞
are you testing on Thursday x

Morning all! 6DPO today and I have the rage the of the beast! Typical of AF starting in around a week! Not hopeful at all this month!

How is everyone else doing? @KT199 when are you planning on testing? Xx

Surely this upset tum couldn’t be a symptom? I’m thinking it’s most likely counted my chances out! 😳

@slothbat cant count yourself out just yet!! You wouldn’t have implanted yet!

Not sure on the testing front, I have said Thursday at the earliest but may wait until Fri/Sat when OH can be there to wipe my tears if it’s not positive.. or I may try wait out AF which is due Sunday so x

That is so comforting to know RE weight, definitely feels like a pressure off.

@KT199 I actually feel like this has been the slowest 8 days of my life. I tested about an hour ago it's still stark white so this, along with early AF symptoms, im counting myself out. I have everything crossed for you tho, cycle buddy! 🤣🤞🤞🤞

It’s more likely to be negative today anyway girl, as implantation is typically 8-10 DPO!! Don’t count yourself out just yet! Fingers crossed for you too 🤞

Evening ladies, hope you all had a good day! 😊

Quick question for those of you who use LH strips... I'm CD17 and up until today my tests were pretty light. This morning the test was a bit darker but I did another one there now and it's the darkest it's ever been!
So my question is: when do I DTD? Am I right in saying that I'm going to ovulate in the next couple of days, not today? I've been doing the strips since September but I've never actually had a properly dark line so I've just been winging it!!

@pastelpink0
I'm the same I get a really quick surge, literally a matter of hours - they say it's like 24-36hrs from when you start to see a surge and then 8-12hrs from your peak - so make sure you keep testing lh so you can identify when it's starting to lower and make sure you've defo found your peak - but if your peak was tonight then yeah I'd say you'd be due to ovulate tomorrow.

Personally I start DTD when I start to see the line get a bit darker, usually this lasts for like 3 days so I try leave a day between, then on the day of the peak and then the day or 2 after just because the time for ovulation to happen isn't exact I just try and cover every opportunity 😅

It's alot and it's exhausting and it really isn't the most romantic but we do what we can 😆

This month we only managed to do the day before peak, the day of peak and the day after but obviously they say sperm lives up to 5 days so I think as long as you're DTD on the days around peak, it should be enough.

It's actual headache inducing isn't it 😅😅

Thank you for this!! We DTD last night so I think we'll skip tonight and DTD tomorrow - last month was a bit too intense so we'll prob stick to every other night.

Oh it's enough to drive you mad! 😳 and you're right, it's so exhausting and it's just constant.

Thanks again for the advice, Amazon has literally just delivered another box of LH tests so will make sure to crack on 🤪

Ok so I had static smiley Sunday I’ve 3 DTD in the bank including today, annoyingly didn’t yesterday but hopefully one will stick! If not will go for 3-4 times again next month. I’m not sure if I have a job following restructuring so at least I’ll think about that (and how to get a new one!) instead of my uterus!

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼✨✨✨✨✨🌸🌸🌸🌸

it would be a lovely birthday present and I love cancerians…it’s a July baby month!

good luck gals I’m going to check out a bit so I don’t go mental but I’ll be back in a few ….love our little corner! Such posi vibes.

Can I join ladies? 38 ttc #1. Only started last month, so this is only cycle 2. Ewcm on Sunday morning, so DTD Sunday afternoon. Got a flashing smiley on Sunday evening, and a static smiley on an old pink expired clear blue stick on Monday afternoon. DTD again on Monday night. Assuming today was ovulation day but who knows eh?! Away with work today-Thurs so that’ll be it for our efforts for this month. Counting this as 1DPO and starting the tww.

hi all, we begin TTC either tomorrow or Thursday! been testing with clearblue digital twice a day since flashing smiley appeared.
