TTC #1 Thread 7

PS, if you are pregnant, the CM will return with a vengeance in a bit! :-/

Hello everyone, just checking in! Still waiting for my first AF post-mc then if will be seriously committed TTC. Conceive plus, digital OPKs, whole nine yards.

Yep block like mrsbri I was sans any cm - she told me it was a good sign too (and was right). Fx for the next few days for you (I'll take all the potential AF-ness with pleasure)

Good news on those BFPs guys! We're on our second cycle of TTC, and the only real blessing is that the sex is great! ;-)

Nothing else exciting going on here!

Just checking back! Its been 3 weeks since AF and app says im ov on monday! Ive been doing OPKs now for a week now! (first time using them)
Me and hubby both off work all weekend (extremely rare occourence in our house) so ive booked for us to go to comedy on sat night!
Now looking forward to dtd lots and then playing the SS game again!! Where is everyone with testing??

Hi that's what I thought but read a lot of posts and ppl think that you should go at it when it's on two days aswell ad the first month of using the cbfm might not pick up a peak. Xxxx

Congratulations lol!!!!!! fantastic news!!!

Hi kbaby, I have the cbfm, it's the peak days (full 3 bars) that are when u Ovulate so those are the days when it's def dtd day!!

Lol I might try the belt and brace way x

Every other day is enough to get you pregnant. Every day is a belt and braces approach! :-)

And another quik question please if some one could answer shall dtd every day when my cbfm is on two blocks or every other day as I don't wana feel like I've missed a oppertunity x

Hi everyone yep I'm totally insane I did not no things could get obsessive and a congrats to all of you that are pregnant x. But I'm going to keep been positive and persistent I'm not giving up this month with out a fight lol xxx

Hi Block

Married life is lovely, thank you...if rather sexless due to the pregnancy, ha ha! :-/

The 8 week scan was fantastic. Saw the jelly bean and heartbeat :-) Excellent to have, I think, as reassurance as it is a horrible limbo in between the positive test and a dating scan. I'd still be waiting for my first scan if I hadn't paid for one. And I'm not the patient type!

Picture of the scan on my profile, BTW. :-)

Hi to kbaby.

Hi Raspberry and Lol wave wave! Firstly a massive congratulations to you Lol! You must be over the moon! How are you feeling?

I'm well thanks ladies. The 1st trimester was one hell of a roller coaster as I ended up having 4 scans with the NHS in the end but baby pear was doing well at my last 12 week scan. I have another scan next week when I'll be 16w just to check everything is developing as it should.

Block I noted a slight tingly boob at 7DPO if that helps!

kbaby Welcome baby and I hope this thread gives you the support I needed when I had some very crazy moments! Just wanted to tell you that what you're feeling is totally normal. I was a TTC loon but luckily I fell pregnant on the 4th month of serious trying (I don't count the 1st as I had no idea what I was doing). I too used conceive plus on the 4th month and that really helped in many ways but that wasn't what got my BfP but I'm sure it helped. Time is what gave me my BFP, my body just needed time to adjust after coming off the pill. If the CBFM doesn't work for you then I would advice switching to clear blue OV sticks as I found them far more accurate in the end when I compared the two. Good luck!

Worst is I swear I make my self Beleive that I am pregnant lol (physco tic ) i no aww we'll let's hope that we won't have to wait much longer I couldn't imagine going through this for two years lol my partner would have no swimmers left the way I have him trying at the moment lol.

Soz abt the broke up mag silly IPad xxxx

Hiii thanks for your reply blockette yep I totally agree three months is not long just feels like a life time waiting for flow to come every month then she does. Disheartens me a bit :-( especially after falling so fast the 1st te just shows Ypur body changes as you get older, I'm glad I joined cuz I sit here going on n on in my own head. Yep that tww is a killer and the w

Ohhh congrats on your BFP BelissimaLol hopefully you will start a lucky roll like we had last time and clear out the thread again! (meant in the nicest way possible! I'm not trying to get rid of anyone!!!)

HI MrsB /wave - glad everything is going well for you! - how much could you see on your 8 week scan? would you recommend it? How is married life treating you?

Hi kbaby welcome! You probably know more then us, I think most, if not all of us are still trying for our first! 3 months really is not a long time at all, I have been trying 3 months and am not worried yet! - I even think doctors make you wait longer then 6 months before doing tests, I know they wouldn't test my friend until 2 years! (then she got BFP on the day of her first test! typical!) - Don't panic! - The extra pressure wont be helping your OH either. For now, try to calm down, and enjoy the process and stress out on the 2ww like us SS is a fun game, you need to enjoy it for a while! Come and stamp your non-pg feet with us when you get a -ve, but don't let it get you down too much, too fast. 3 months is no time at all!

Hi really don't want to offend any one or Take over the page but need done advice :-(

Hi ok well here goes this is me trying to stop my obsessive behaviour but I'm just taking it a step further wit this post. I had my daughter in 2007 with out any problems, fell pregnant straight away but it was not planned. And was the best thing that ever happend.ot had been 5 years since i conceived my daughter and am so ready for baby no 2 but never thought it would be so hard :-(. In 2010 I had a blighted ovum which was the horriblest thing I ever went through 😢. They did all the scans and could just not find a heart beat, after that things went terribly wrong for me, me and my partner split. I have now been in a happy healthy relationship with my partner and we have been trying for 3 months which feels like a life time 😒 I just purchased the cbfm and wanted any advice On it I can get???.
My partner has also got it in to his head by self diagnosing him self on the Internet lol don't ask that he has a low sperm count which has really been playing on my mind. Could this be the reason it's taking a wile? Or is it in his head, so I have been trying to encourage him we will try everything for the next six months before going to the doctors, as tbh he is really frightened by the result, so I started him on WellCare for men fish oil and he doesn't drink or smoke so that's not a problem. I also just purchased the conceive plus lubricant so if any one can tell me if any of these products will help us in any way I'd be so gratefull. Sorry going on for so long.

Baby dust to you all xxxx

Awesome news, Lol. :-)

I'm also still scared, but not much I can do about it!

Got my first scan on 11th (though had a private one at 8 weeks).

Overall I'm alright!!

Fx to you. xx

Hello my lovely friends. Thought I lost you all as I could not see the thread.
Well. I got a bfp on Monday
Currently scared shitless but also very happy. I'm to scared to go on new threads. Want to be near friends!
Who is next to poas?
Nic and pear how are you?!!!!

Ooh, Block...a distinct lack of CM was a symptom for me, as I normally nigh on drowned (TMI!).

Fx for you. :-)

So although I promised I wouldn't - I have been bad today, ss everywhere! - Although, as I keep reminding myself I felt similar symptoms last month and was upset when I got my -ve! So although I know its nothing, they wont leave me alone so I know that if I say them on here, they are highly likely to disappear the minute I press the post button ...

My boob hurts, kind of feels like its burning yes, boob, singular!
I'm tired all the time no change there!
since OV had no, or very very little ecm ok, this one is a new one for me

My AF is due next Wednesday, but as I've been all over the place recently i'm going to try to wait till the Saturday to POAS.

Hey Pear!! How's u? Hope everything is going ok - have u had ur scan yet?

I think I'm going to wait for AF - if I can hold out that long?!!

Also hello to flo and dietcoke, I don't think I said hello in my earlier post - hope you're both doing ok.
Blockette & I are on the 2ww. Where's everyone else? X

Oh Block that's exciting I'll definitely come back for that announcement Hope you've all been busy with OPK sticks and DTD! Everything is fine with me thanks for asking. Are you setting yourself mini reward treats to get you through the 2ww? Will you start testing from 10DPO or wait until AF turns up? Some of you have amazing patience waiting for AF!

Hi pear! How is it going? - you've not missed anything yet but if you come back in 2 weeks you will see mine and raspberry's BFP's!

Then we have a few coming up a few weeks after

Hi ladies! How is everyone? Have I missed any BFPs?

Today is 2nd peak day in monitor for me blockette so I'll officially join u 2moro!!
I'll bring and a few to keep us going!!
