Totally Talkative, Crazy 1st-timers (NTNP/TTC #1!) - [22+ BFP's & 18 babies born!]

So many beautiful babies

Welcome Ell :wave:

QB there's probably loads of things I wish I had known but I can't think of any right now I'd probably say, the minute you get pregnant everyone in the world thinks they have the right to an opinion on everything you eat/drink/do/say, so think very carefully before you tell people things and mainly think about wether or not you want to hear thir opinion (because they will have one) xxx

I suppose that is when selective hearing comes in handy
Totally get what you mean though, It must be pretty annoying, I hate being told what to do. so they are likely to be told off lol how rude of me.

Oh god, you shoulda heard me my last month of pregnancy! I was like the biggest sarcasm junkie in existance. "Have everything ready for her?" "nope. Totally unprepared. She'll probably get taken away." "Are you excited?" "Nah, I'm still not even sure she's mine." "What are you hoping for?" "I was kind of hoping for a monkey or a lemur or something.. But you know how these things go.... Sigh..." It only got worse. I probably shouldn't have left the house. "What if it's a boy?" "Black market."

 

[Queen Bee.]

omg love it Alex.
Could see myself doing that too.

 

[Smile181c]

wish I'd have done that. I lost count of the amount of "are you sure there's only one in there?!"'s that I got!

 

[nlk]

Lol Alex, that's fab!

I can't believe how upfront some people can be, chloe! I'd have gotten sooo annoyed!

 

[Smile181c]

It was so frustrating especially as I was quite aware of how huge I was lol I just kept saying (through gritted teeth) 'no I'm quite sure it's only one' lol I'm too nice for my own good

Thank you And for the congratulations...seems a long time ago now
So far I have always given into my impatience-ness and tested ridiculously early but this month I'm not feeling overly positive, oh well, I'm sure that will change soon enough

How long have you been trying for? x

I was NTNP from Febuary to April then I had an early loss in April. Started TTC from then on then had a chemical in June and another early loss in July. Took a break from TTC and now back on it. Currently being investigated at the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic to see if there's a cause for all these losses. Hoping the next bean is extra sticky!

One thing I've learnt this year is to never assume that you know what people are going through. "When are you thinking of having one?" "Oooh you look ready for a baby!" "How broody are you?" All these statements shouldn't be made to someone in casual conversation. You never know what your acquaintance, friend or even relative has been through that they might not like you to know about... Something that you think is an off the cuff remark can really stab someone in the gut.

It's very true. My friend said the other day 'be extra nice to everyone you meet because everyone is fighting some sort of battle'

I cant even begin to imagine how you must feel going though that!! How truly awful for you!! Will you have to wait long to find out some answers? xx

Mommalexis - That is brilliant!! I hope that when (if) I become pregnant I have the balls to react like that

That's a nice way to put it!

Thanks hun. It has been a difficult six months, but I know people on here have had worse. I've got my results back on 12th November, but we'll see if I'm preggo before then. Who knows!

Good luck with testing when you do decide to do it!

AllisMommy, FJ, QB & Ellberry lots & lots of !! x

Alex - Hope Lara picks up soon x

BBH, Erin & Chloe - Your babies are absolutely gorgeous! x

Roodles - Hi :wave: & congratulations on your BFP x

I think that's everything If I missed your post i'm really sorry but there was a lot

Nothing really new for me. Today's my first day at work this week as I've been getting about 4 hours sleep a night (and I don't even have a baby yet!) Last night was a little better, albeit a lot of broken sleep but I feel a little more on the normal side this morning xx

 

[Ellberry]

Fingers crossed flapjack
Thanks for the baby dust laura91... hope your pregnancy is going wonderful xx

 

[AllisMommy]

[flapjack10]

8dpo for me!

Here's my testing thread https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-tests/1297661-starting-7dpo-8dpo-fwaw-pics-added.html

 

[Ellberry]

A testing thread, thats great I'm 7/8dpo and couldn't resist doing a test this morning, I don't think there was a line but then managed to convince myself there was, then also convinced my husband there was.....I'm sure there wasn't though
It did look like a white line with a very very thin blue line next to it, is this what they call an evap line? what does evap mean? sorry....very new to all this
