Follow up of the two following threads of TTC Baby number 1 🦕🦖

Thank you, you too!! Hoping to go keep myself busy somehow but with this crazy storm forecast not sure what to get up to!

Cycle 4. I had been very consistent with supplements until the week off and I started them again once I got a positive LH test just incase 🤣. If your interested I was taking

• COQ10
• Methafolate
• Magnesium Glycinate
• Omega 3 (high strength DHA)
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12

I ended up with a pill box there was that many 🤣🤣🤣

I've already got a pill box haha. Think I'm going to add coq10 this cycle :)

Just want to say how good the boots 5 days early tests are! 10dpo and it’s really obvious in person. As good as first response!

still cautiously moving forward and I will update you again tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🥰🥰

The boots ones were the one that mine was a blazing positive on too!!

Ahhh so please to see this for you!! 🫶🏻 defo keep us all updated.

@KT199 I literally am the same I swallow so many pills on a daily basis 😂 good job they're only vitamins !

I'm currently having lower back pain and I had the exact same at 5dpo last month ..! I don't want to be hopeful but we should see whether it ends in a BFP!
(I get the same exact pain during my period but my period is due next Saturday so can't be that !) 🤞🏼

Have a good weekend girls !

This would be such an amazing Christmas present for you ! 🤞🏼🩷 keep us updated !!!

@Lila34830 absolutely!! My son and daughter are both August babies, and if this goes well this one will be too🤣

ooooh how exciting!! I have no willpower and I’d still be testing 5dpo knowing implantation hasn’t happened 🤣🤣

@KT199 I really rate them!! Not bad price too! I can only get my hands on first response on Amazon which is a pain!!

good luck girls - bfp for Christmas for us all 💫

Cycle 36 here of TTC #3 at the Dino age of 42. I'm in a highly annoying limbo now, as I'd not been taking OPKs this cycle, partly as I was trying to wind down and partly from complacency as I've been a lot more regular since my last stint at TTC, and I'm now a day later than expected, no AF as yet, but BFNs and spotting in the last few days, so I'm sure she's on her way. I promised myself this this would be my last cycle so I just want to reach the end of it now....

@Gemmaemilyx @Lila34830 got my fingers crossed for you both.

I’ve had line progression almost every day but today it was pretty similar to yesterday (possibly tiny tiny bit lighter) - not had a dye stealer yet! did have the faintest bit of pink when I wiped earlier so now I’m super nervous. It was so faint I almost didn’t see it and now I wish I didn’t! Will test again tomorrow and see what it looks like but that’s my last test that I’ve currently got then.

LMP was 6/11 so should be 4and a bit weeks so we will see.

Hi ! Welcome ! This is a Group for girls trying to conceive their first baby originally 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'm so sorry you've tried for your third for so long, and to hear that this last cycle might not be successful ...😔 but you're not out until AF shows! I've got everything crossed for you !

I think this is a very nice and strong progression girl !! Thanks for sharing with us ! 🥹 can't wait for us all to be on the other side !

@Lila34830 thank you!! I’m sorry if it sounds dramatic, I’ve never done multiple tests I just did one last time so I don’t know what’s good or bad etc and I just started to panic when I saw the tiny pink tinge in the tissue

Are you REALLY apologising for trying to reassure yourself ?! Don't even say sorry, I probably will be exactly
Like you are ! 🦕🦕

Aw this looks really good progression!! 🫶🏻 fingers crossed the bit of pink is nothing and just little bean burrowing deep in.

I’ve been tracking progression too, but mine doesn’t seem as strong as yours! I’m trying not to get caught up in it, but easier said than done 😳

@KT199 @HE93C if that can reassure you both (bearing in mind you all know I talk like a book 😂 so I'm sorry
If I'm annoying) I was listening to (yet another) gyno who was saying that as long as the line is v clear and stays clear (and both of yours are) we shouldn't read too much into it ! 🙏🏼 I've got all confidence in your little eggs 🥚 🦕 🦖(btw anyone ever watched the cartoon with Little foot the Dino as a child ? I always think about it when I read Dino club 😆)

It is reassuring thank you🫶🏻! I don’t like being hung up on it and I wish I could stop testing tbh!

No I’ve never watched that program, maybe it’s because I’m a younger dino 😂

@KT199 it's your first pregnancy, you're figuring it all out by yourself like we all are, even if there are so many resources out there, you and only you live in your head and in your body. Don't be hard on yourself , cut yourself some slack, the first scan wait must be so scary and long, I'd be surprised if anyone was 100% relaxed xxx

I have no doubt I will be booking an early viability scan for a few weeks time, just to check it’s in the right place and has a heartbeat. I don’t know how people last until 12 weeks, because I’ve known for 4 days and time feels like it’s stood still since and all I’ve done is worry 😂

@KT199 omg 100% once I get this sticky bfp ill be booking those 8 week ones 😂

You will get one soon, then we can get our dinos mum club thread going 🤞

@KT199 @HE93C i wouldn’t worry about line progression when it’s that dark as @Lila34830 says. I had days where my tests were lighter than others with my daughter and it panicked me. Infact, at 8 weeks or so they started to go SO light, the ‘hook effect’ which some people don’t believe in. However, in my experience my test was super light so I diluted the same urine with water and came out super dark.

but I totally understand it’s hard when you see a test which you think may be lighter than the last it’s worrying!! Also, hopefully nothing comes of the pink 🤞🏼 my friend who I have spoken about a few times has had pink and brown spotting at 5/6 and 8/9 weeks and now 13 weeks with no issues 😊 xx

@Lila34830 so sorry, just read the thread name rather than full description. I will bow out of here then. I know it must sound grating when I've already got 2 DDs, but those two were quite the journey too, at 16 and 12 months TTC respectively (even when I was at a less dinosaury age) so sadly I'm far too seasoned at this game, but equally sadly, existing DCs doesn't make the process much easier (even though I know I need to be so grateful for what I have). I wish you all good luck, and wishes for sticky beans for those of you who have recently had BFPs.

Top tip: once you're past AF due date and have fairly decent lines, try to wean yourself off the tests - the ICs in particular can be a bit variable with dye so don't panic if you don't get dye stealers. And if you do, remember it's a snapshot of that particular day and can't necessarily predict the future. Book in an early scan if that's reassuring, but other than that you just kinda have to wait and see how the rest of the pregnancy goes. Symptoms can mean everything and nothing, as can comparisons with past experiences. The best of luck dino girls. I hope your BFPs come soon 💕

@curliegirlie no apology needed !!
I really hope it works for you too 🤞🏼🤞🏼
