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 !

🤣 🦖 👑
I am 34, I think you potentially might be but I mean, age is just a number !!

@Lila34830 its just a number in many ways, unfortunately not so much biologically though😂 I’m going to try really hard to get pregnant just to wave the flag of hope for all my dino subjects 😂

AF is due tomorrow, I'm feeling cramping so might be out for this cycle.
I don't mind, what will be will be.
Let's see though.

So here for the dino mum club someday soon 🪨🤞🦕🦖

Hi welcome 👋
I'm relatively new on this thread as well.
Hope your journey goes well and doesn't take too long but I'm sure we'll all be here to support you for as long as needed!

The dedication is unmatched, your seniority is already shining through 🤣

Omg girls 34 is not dino you silly muffins. I am going to be 37 next week @Clara202 so officially in advanced age with you. My father in law is a gynae though and he says actually to 40, if you have good fertility, you are usually okay. The issue is people who don’t have good fertility don’t realise / start trying until it’s too late, then years pass and it does make things difficult. Which is why we have started the testing process early (I also had a private scan last year). Husband does need to do his sperm test though as anatomically I look okay. Can’t imagine him doing one 😂 Hard to know egg quality + ovulation without further tests though which is a big thing.

my old boss was having IVF at 45 with a sperm donor and had a baby so there’s hope for us all!

anyway!

@Lila34830 last month I felt like I had loads of symptoms and had the 5 day late period. This month I have no symptoms (apart from being upset on Monday but that was life!)

AF due in 5 days so at least my window of waiting is coming to a close. Usually it’s clock work on the 10th but think later cos of the previously late period!

We can do it ladies xx

Has anyone else changed their diet at all?

I've eaten so many blueberries I'm going to start turning blue before long!

But in general I have just been eating healthier, cutting down on chocolate and such like ☹️ 🍫

My sister sent me this which I thought was a simper reference as there's so many lists out there!

Hey @Nay34 ! I think eating varied / nutrient full food is good enough ! (And equally important ) for hormone balance !

@Toppstileslover if my father in law was a gyno I would spend my time asking him questions 🤣 !!

I know what you mean symptoms are so unreliable I am trying not to read into any of them, I never had any symptoms tbf for the last 4 cycles.
This cycle is a little bit different, I am having cramping in my back (where I get my period cramps), crying soooo much at so many things like emotional reels on social media ?! (But this can be me before period too!!!) and I had to have a lunch nap twice in the last 2 days . It's unlike me but I mean this could just mean that I'm tired. Only time will tell !

Let's hope we get more good news as we had 2bfp in this group recently !!
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I'm only 28, don't kick me out of the Dino club 😂 I thought 28 was still young enough to start TTC until i started Googling a few months ago! I'm not as young as I thought I was 😂

Interesting! I really do need to make more changes to my diet. I'm not the worst but I could be doing more.

If anyone has any recipes or tips for a better diet/lifestyle they'd like to share, please do!

28?! Get out of here you fraud 🤪😂

@Toppstileslover did your boss succeed with her own egg at 45?
I’ll be calling the GP after Christmas to refer me for tests. If something is wrong I’d better find out as soon as possible, at my dino age 😅

The dino club is growing 🥰
@Lila34830 i think your symptoms are promising 🤞🏻
@pastelpink0 you are the baby dino of the group then haha
@Nay34 hi thank you for sharing this about nutrition, yes i had made a lot of changes on my side (cutting off processed food, fries, using only avocado/olive oil, cut off margarine, no deep frying, reducing sugar intake...) i am now trying to reduce gluten but it's so damn hard. In the other hand my DH is not as committed as i am so 🤷🏻‍♀️!

Update: had 5 days of ewcm 0 positive LH tests, glad it's over now. Last night i had abdominal pain in one side,(still do) hurts when u cough, no idea what my body is trying to me and starting to be worried 😣. Honestly i dont think it can be ovulation by now cd24! Any thoughts ?

@HeartyPanda don't despair !!
Keep testing (I know it's such a pain!)
This was me on CD24. I was all negative until then, so maybe you will peak tonight / tomorrow or in the next couple of days ?

@pastelpink0 I thought of myself as a 🦕 at 27, it's funny how your perspective changes! In 10 years time we'll look back at how young we are right now. Newbie to the group but I'd say self-identified dinos are welcome too!

Haven't changed anything diet-wise, but did start on folic acid about 2 months ago and just switched to proceive. Have also been trying to keep up the fitness a bit more than usual and going to the gym.

🦖mum club sounds great, let's hope we all get there even if it takes a while!

Update from last night! It was faint positives I was seeing and not evap lines!!

good luck girls!!!🩷🩷

Ohhhhhh i can see it girl congrats 💫💫💫
So exciting 🥰
How do u feel?

Dino mums club sounds 👌

Congrats Gemmaemilyx!

Congratulations @Gemmaemilyx !!! 🤍

Thank you!! I’ve been feeling undeniably sick and metallic taste in my mouth so I had a good feeling! I was awfully nauseous with my other 2 kids but hopefully this won’t be as bad! Xxx

Ahhh brilliant! Congratulations 💛

@Lila34830 sounds promising for you 🤞🪨

@pastelpink0 I’m one of the younger dinos too at 30!

@Gemmaemilyx EEEEK!! Congrats 🙌

@Nay34 i could absolutely improve my diet, I try to be balanced but also like a takeaway as a treat on a weekend! I think nutrition defo helps with the ttc journey but I don’t want to take away all my life pleasures🤣

Congratulations!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
