Hello ladies

I would like to start a thread/bus/merry-go-round to meet, get support and share with ladies in the same boat as me:

TTC baby no 1!

Will you join me and see it through to the BFP?!

A bit about me - I'm 29, DP is 35. This will be our first child.

Grr in such a bad mood today and need somewhere to vent..sorry girls!! So tired and my cat is really sick and keeps getting diarrhoea on the floor, luckily we have laminate flooring! Then my DH tells me a 'funny' story of how his best mates ex rang him today saying she's pregnant and starts making comments about being stuck with her for life etc, then I get upset because I actually want to be pregnant and am not!! Ahh! Stupid Wednesday! Xxx

crazycatlady82 · 13/02/2013 06:38

Congrats KD!

AF arrived this morning so I'm out this month. Maybe next month.

Only good thing is a glass of wine tomorrow night

12dpo. Expecting AF on Thurs. Keep losing track of this thread but it looks like we have another BFP - congrats KD! Fingers crossed for everyone else testing this week. I just bought 2 clear blue digital for next week (if AF doesn't show, obv. Not wasting them if it does!)

PistachioTruffle · 12/02/2013 13:06

Congratulations kd! Fingers crossed for everyone else.

Cycle day 21 here, still no obvious signs of ovulation or smiley faces.

WakeyCakey · 12/02/2013 11:53

Congrats kd
There is definitely some luck on this thread. Poor DP has done his back in so this probably won't be the month for us. But I am glad to say my fear that I don't ovulate is going,

I may be wrong but I believe there is EWCM today. Means my cycle is really short but it has to be a positive for the future

(P.S. whoops, I am/was DailySliceOfGato, but like to namechange regularly!)

HotSoupDumpling · 12/02/2013 11:34

Congrats kd! See you on the antenatal/preg threads!

Fairydogmother · 12/02/2013 11:29

Hi, can I join in?

Me and my fiancée are both 25 and ttc our first. I came off the pill last April and have pretty much been trying ever since.

Both of us are getting frustrated that nothing seems to be happening and a lot of our friends seem to be getting pregnant either quickly or accidently!!

A friend of mine is training in Body Talk and did a session with me on Friday and said that I am carrying a lot of stress on my ovaries and I also have a fear of not being able to conceive which is also putting a lot of strain on my body. Some might think this is a load of rubbish but it does make a lot of sense to me.

AF is due today and so far - no signs.

Best of luck to everyone else. Fingers crossed we all get our BFP soon :) xxx

Fairydogmother · 11/02/2013 20:53

It on the left around my hip bone. Kind of cramps and then subsides and its def not trapped wind lol. Feel very tender across my lower abdomen like just before a period. Not particularly nice! X

ELA88 · 11/02/2013 20:45

Ohh no fairy I had appendicitis, it's so painful. Which side is the pain on? Has it moved at all? Xx

Fairydogmother · 11/02/2013 20:26

I've got serious side pain today like never before. Wasn't sure if it was my appendix going bad!

ELA88 · 11/02/2013 17:35

My cycle is a mess so I don't know whether I'm in a 2ww or not but that's probably a good thing! At least I don't have to stress for 2 weeks waiting to see what happens! Xx

LoveLaughingLots · 11/02/2013 10:16

CrazyCatLady I'm in 2ww and I'm not going mad just yet, trying to be positive! Insert big fake smile here I

Take a look at the Two Week Wait thread - sorry I have no idea how to do a link!

LLLx

Fairydogmother · 11/02/2013 08:25

according to the calendar this is my week for dtd as much as possible! though dont feel great - think i'm fighting something off as i'm knackered and i feel a bit sick! but i'm sure that will pass lol

gillian1986 · 11/02/2013 08:15

Im stuck and bored in the 2 week wait right now! Af due around 21st feb - only came off the pill in december so not 100% regular right now which is annoying!

So funny reading about partners saying "you only want it so you'll get pregnant!" - my husband has already cottoned on to the fact I want to dtd more! Obviously hes fine with it but its VERY obvious! hahahah Blush

crazycatlady82 · 11/02/2013 07:45

Hi girlies,

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread.

I am 30 and DH is 37. We have been TTC our first for oh, about 2 weeks now! I am also on the JSing thread as I don't want to become obsessed - easier said than done! 2 BFNs on the 'early' tests but I'm not even late yet... (Period ay be due any time between the 13th and 17th - I do usually keep better track but not so much over Xmas...)

Someone said that you spend your life avoiding babies and almost expect to get pregnant the day you stop contraception - totally agree!!!

I was certain I would get a BFP on the early tests - oh what a crazy cat I am!

Best of luck to all girls TTC.

Is anyone else in the TWW?

xxxx

ELA88 · 10/02/2013 22:50

Yep! I've always had it drummed into me that it's so easy to fall pregnant and honestly just thought I'd fall pregnant as soon as I stopped taking the pill! Now were trying hard to get pregnant! Xxx

SloaneRaver · 10/02/2013 22:04

Fairy, ELa, yes! isn't it so funny after all these years of trying not to get pregs?

Fairydogmother · 10/02/2013 18:40

Haha it is strange when you've spent a long time trying NOT to get pg! X

ELA88 · 10/02/2013 18:35

Lol my dh has already caught onto my eagerness and I've already had a reply of "you only want it so you'll get pregnant!" We'll maybe...but it's not like he's losing out either! Xx

Fairydogmother · 10/02/2013 18:14

Lol I guess that's the best bit tho! This week my OH will get way more 'attention' than usual!
