Newbie Intro!

[hanna87]

Hi ladies, just a quick intro.. i keep waiting and missing all the appropriate threads to post first time on!

Im hanna, age 30..from north london.

A bit of back ground- we are ttc #1, 2nd month of trying after being on microgynon for a few years.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Hanna!

I'm 30 and TTC #1. This is cycle 6 for us and I'm 3 days late so going to test today.

[hanna87]

Fingers & toes crossed for u!

[ladyglittersparkle]

Hi Hanna, we're trying to conceive #3 our youngest is 17 months old. I stopped taking the mini pill at the beginning of January and have been using OPKs since as I had no AF while on the pill and none since stopping. I got my first positive OPK yesterday, so fingers crossed

[ladyglittersparkle]

Ooo Faye how exciting, good luck

[hanna87]

Hi Faye
Don't forget to keep us updated- excited for u!

Ladyglittersparkle, nice to hear from you! Im a pharmacist by background but in all honesty-feel that science may not be so accurate after reading on here about ttc after any of the pills...
Fingers crossed with your positive opk...

I haven't yet started using any fertility devices yet...but if things don't progress in a few months i defo will... my dh thinks its all mumbojumbo

Hello!

We are ttc#2, on cycle 1 so far came off micronor 2 weeks ago. We have ds1 who is 19m :)

Welcome to crazyland!

[WantToGoingTo]

Oh and I think I'm 1dpo as got positive opk on Thursday and Friday! We have dtd quite a lot (for us) on cd4,11,12,13,15 with ov on 15 so fingers crossed!

[Alikins01]

Hi! We are about to start our ttc journey for baby #2 - scared, excited, nervous - we've done it before but this time feels different some how 🤔. We have a dd who is almost 5 - not sure if this make us mad to go back to sleepless nights and bottles! Lol

[hanna87]

Hi WantingToGo & Alikins

WantingToGo -this sounds rather like us! We dtd days 8-14 of the cycle this time round.. farrr from the norm! Hopeful, tho not sure how regular my cycle is!

Alikins ..u have the t-shirt so to say already... any tips on keeping calm and not letting ttc totally take over everything?!

[WantToGoingTo]

Hahaha keeping calm what's that?!

[WantToGoingTo]

I was completely ttc crazy the first time round, so no hope of changing with baby number 2!

[Oldschool41]

I'm also new to here
I am 41
I have 3 grown up children that have left home ( mad I know)
TTC first month of trying after having the coil for 11 years and mini pill for 2 months
Good luck everyone

[Fayemay27]

Hi everyone! I held off until this morning to test and it's a bfn AF still not here, 4 days late so not sure what's going on! Wish af would appear so I can start next month afresh already!

[hanna87]

Hello to Oldschool41

Fayemay how frustrating as hard as it is, maybe try stop thinking about AF as the more we think on it the more patterns are affected.. that way she sooner she arrives the sooner you wave goodbye?!

Just out of curiosity are you doing all the ovulation tracking, taking baby aspirin and using things like pre-seed? I don't know how much of these things to do..and wonder if I should get my act together a bit more?

[ladyglittersparkle]

Faye how many DPO are you?
I was 16 dpo before I got my BFP with my last baby.
You not out until AF arrives

[Fayemay27]

Thanks hanna. This was the first month I have used opk's and I take folic acid but that is it. I found the opk useful as turns out I ovulated earlier than I thought.

Ladyglitter I am 17 dpo today. It's so frustrating!

[hanna87]

Hi Faye u gonna test again? The dreaded waiting until the 23rd (according to app)/25th is on for me..

[WantToGoingTo]

Ah hanna I am also due af on 23rd! Think I will test on 20th when I am 10dpo tho as I have no patience

[InfinityPlus]

Hi, I'm a newbie to this site and the whole baby thing, no doubt I'll get all the acronyms wrong 😳.

I'm 37, about to have the mirena removed on Thursday and not sure what to expect really. Had it for about 40months. OH and I have decided to start trying - we're not getting any younger 😂 And are concerned about my gynae history - endometriosis, andenomyosis and only one ovary.

Wishing all the ladies and their partners TTC the best of luck.

[Fayemay27]

Hi Infinity, welcome.

I'm not sure Hanna as I get so disappointed. I'm thinking as it wasn't positive yesterday, it's unlikely it will be positive now. AF is still not here though....

[hanna87]

Welcome @InfinityPlus don't worry abut the acronyms..i keep googling most of them and getting used to it too

@WantToGoingTo i know what you mean but I think oh already thinks that ive gone a bit loopy with ttc, and feels easier to wait a few days rather than go buy the frer  don't want to argue over it n ruin the mood..that sed i cud just do it without him knowing

@Fayemay27 i get where u are coming from... positive thoughts.. are u getting any other symptoms of AF or early pregnancy?

[WantToGoingTo]

I have already stocked up on FRERs dh definitely thinks I'm loopy. But he doesn't know how many tests I bought or when I ovulate I just pounce and he gets on with it and leaves the rest to me! 😂🙊

[Fayemay27]

@hanna87 the only symptoms I have just now is tender boobs and I'm really tired all the time (that's not unusual though as I have a stressful job). Other than that I feel totally fine!

[RoxyDancer]

Hey everyone! Another newbie on here! Was on the pill for nearly ten years. Came off it last month. I'm currently on CD31 and no sign of AF. I have done two tests and both were negative. 4 days late now. My breasts are tender and nipples very sore. Anyone else's cycle all over the place after coming off the pill?

[Fayemay27]

AF still not here and it's driving me crazy
