Join The First Time Frolickers, trying to conceive their first child. Plenty of moral support, fun, dietary advice and most importantly, BFPs!!

She's not here yet... Wondering when is best to test? My colleague just had fish and chips for lunch and the smell almost made me vomit! Normally I'd be pinching a bit! I'm due today day 33 but cycle can be irregular and it's been a stressful month which I've found can prolong my cycle :/ don't want to get my hopes up!

Fab news Cave I'm officially halfway through the injections so I'm running (well, maybe ambling) towards the finishing post, phew! Had my first stim injection last night, didn't feel any worse than the ones I've been on the past 3 weeks but I'm quite sore and stiff today, apparently that's normal. I think I might have to swap sides every night, although my right side hurts more Anyway, it's 10 seconds of my night in all, I can manage that surely

Well it's D day for me! Imminently awaiting af!

Hi all, you fell off my active threads again!

Congrats to ratata, well done you!

Josie, hope you're feeling a bit better. Hang in there!

Got my Day 21 blood results back this morning, a healthy happy reading of 67.9 for my progesterone so it's just watch and wait time. AF due on Monday.

I'm so absolutely exhausted today, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at work. I had to drag myself to bed last night I was so tired, and I woke up just as tired. And with my first stim injection tonight I'm hoping I'm not worse tomorrow! I worked out that if everything goes to plan, this time in 2 weeks my eggs will be fertilised and growing, almost ready to go back in! I'm trying not to think that far ahead. I want to get next week's scan out of the way (fingers crossed I respond!) then start looking at the end result as we're more likely to fail at this stage than get to the next stages

Thank you all for the good wishes and congrats :)

picklestar I got the spotting mid cycle with no pains and then again about 3/4 days before period was due and then the next day I had mild AF pains but with no spotting. Spotting was only after orgasm though strangely enough. Think it's something to do with the contracting which got rid of the old blood in there and caused the spotting.

Basically we went back to having sex the way we used to. When we felt like it, usually at the weekend and just enjoyed it :) No ov sticks like we had been doing for 2 months. And we booked a holiday. I've heard a few people say that when they booked a holiday they got pregnant after and couldn't go on the holiday lol. Luckily ours is only about 40 miles away, I will be 5 months pg hopefully.

Been thinking of you josie x

Feels weird, almost like a pulling/tickling in the middle :/ pleeeease stay away af lol!

glad the scan went well Josie! all sounds really positive :)

good luck Pinkie hoping it is a good sign!

I'm bleeding again today! 2 weeks after my last bleed (have bleed the last 3 days a little bit), haven't got a clue whats going on! no idea if its AF! :(! getting a bit worried & confused!

Apart from that I'm packing like mad, we're moving house next fri! eek! :)x

Congrats Ratata maybe we all need to take a leaf out of your book, Vegemite I agree one huge conspiracy! Well I'm on cd31 due on thurs 15th, still not had the sore boobs which I usually have week before af had some twingy pains left an right the last few days which feel like ov pains? Not my usual dull ache in the middle of the womb though... Hoping and praying this is all a good sign!

Massive congrats Ratata

Welcome Vegemite I hope your stay is a short one, in the nicest way

MrsMellow I detested Sly Stallone until DH made me watch all of his films, yes all of them, and I actually really like him now, although I am very about admitting it

fl0b0t that sounds incredibly painful! I hope you're feeling better soon

My scan went well, apart from a slightly sore cervix as she couldn't find my left ovary at first and had to dig around a bit but the meds have worked enough for me to start 'stage 2 - stims' tomorrow Learned how to do the next injections that's a sick face, I'm not looking forward to it, but after tomorrow's 2 injections, we're halfway through and on the downhill stretch, yippee! God don't you just know your life is s**t when a good day is finding out your ovaries have stopped working Anyway, onwards and upwards lovelies!

Shucks glad that youse all like my name and now I'VE got Down Under too and I don't thank you for that

Shucks glad that youse all like my name and now I'VE got Down Under too and I don't thank you for that

Massive congratulations ratata! Praying it all goes well for you! Did you get pains like AF pains when you got brown spotting? If you don't mind me asking?

Congratulations ratata maybe we should stop TTC!
And I agree vegemite is a great username.
I am CD8, but not feeling very amorous tonight....had the type of Monday that makes you dread the rest of the week - aka, just finished work, haven't stopped running all day and shudder every time I think about what I have to do tomorrow (and the day after that..)...
The weekend feels like a long time ago!
Josie hope your scan goes well tomorrow.

we watched Rambo last night, never seen it before and DH feels an obligation to gently educate me - apparently the Godfather trilogy is next Rambo was better than I expected to be honest....not sure what that says about me!

Congratulations, Ratata!

Vegemite - welcome! I love your username, I have now got the Men At Work song Down Under in my head...

Hello again all, I didn't think I would be popping back so soon... And to say goodbye to you all! We stopped actively TTC but were having unprotected sex, just not watching when I was ovulating etc. And apparently that worked for us lol! I got a BFP yesterday!!!! So we are now one of those annoying couples who weren't actually trying but just not preventing either... I'm over the moon. And been told today I have a niece, to top it all off!

Fingers crossed I don't mc as I'm already worried about that.

For the symptom spotters, my symptoms were: brown spotting mid cycle, and again a few days before AF due (both times after orgasm!), mild cramping, feeling like AF was imminent for 3 days, no sign of AF, mildly sore boobs, heartburn, slight dizzy spells and mild nausea.

I hope you all get your BFPs, sprinkling baby dust to all. It's been a nice stay. Lots of love, Ratata xxx

Weekly random read and update from me! Welcome newbies, etc etc!

TTC (or NTTNC ) or whatever going badly. I am due a tooth extraction soon and have broken my shoulder. Not only is the 8inch green streak of a bruise not all that attractive but I can't imagine even trying right now (ouchie). That combined with waiting for the dental work (and they don't like to do it if you're pregnant) and no sign of period (still can't use the AF reference... don't know what it even means!!) since coming off depo! Boooooooooooo!

Pinkie, I've never ever ever met anyone who openly admits to finding TCC. And yet obviously lots of people do - looking at conversations here on mumsnet.

Almost everyone seems to find it "just happened". The only exceptions are 1) and 2) friends (who are post menopausal) who admit that they couldn't have children and 3) a very very very close friend who only told me that she was TCC because I live on the other side of the world.

Clearly there's some big conspiracy going on!

Hi everyone :o

Today is our first day of no longer trying not to conceive - I "should" have started a new packet of the pill today. Can I come join you guys?

Note that we NLTNTC rather than TCC as we think it'd be nice to just chill out about it and let it happen when it happens the husband doesn't know though that I've spent hours lurking here or that I have the fertility friend account or that I've been looking up Isabella Oliver maternity dresses.

I reckon it'll take about 3 weeks, though, before we get obsessed with TCC just like the rest of you

Just a quick update from me, got my scan tomorrow to make sure the buserelin has worked enough to start stage 2 - stims!

Hope you are all ok, will catch up properly tomorrow, work is really busy thank god

Hi all, feel a bit crap today my AF has been really irregular, 4-6 weeks apart (which means I don't know when I'm ovulating!) I had a small bleed and period pains 2 weeks ago so assumed it was AF as it was 6 weeks after last period (did POAS negative) although yesterday & today I've had small bleeds again. POAS again just in case negative! What's going on!! Wish my periods were regular & I knew when I was ovulating!

I feel like af is on the way hff due thurs 15th

Hi all,

Haven't had time to catch up yet. Am back TTC after MC 3 weeks ago! Although I don't think this will be our month... as have had LH line showing up on ebay cheapies since I stopped bleeding. Also this week I had a pain where I suppose my right overy is but it lasted on & off from Mon till Friday.

How is everyone?

Hey all. Lots of activity on here as always! Have been a hermit revising and working constantly so not much free time for posting! Hi to anyone new! :)

So glad you were feeling better josie. You sound like youre handling things incredibly well and little wobble now and again are only natural considering. Have everything crossed for you that everything goes as planned.

raspberry when are you moving? So exciting! Hope it goes well :)
