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.

I am trying not to think about it too much (impossible)! I am not even sure if I ov'd - no ewcm, I've never had it (well, I've never noticed it) so I'm not even sure if I can conceive Blush

Pixie I ordered one online. So I'll give it a go when it arrives. Managed to get a work friend (who's also TTC but doesn't know I am) to get one too so it doesn't look suspicious.
Also got my ov tests today so will try them next month

pixie0602 · 30/01/2013 19:36

Hey ladies.. Hope everyone's ok? Just had my coil removed so can actually start trying and not just practicing Wink

Wakey ... Did you get an electronic cig? Mines been really good today.. Did have a sneaky real one on the way back from the clinic Blush oh well tomorrow's another day Smile x

WakeyCakey · 30/01/2013 18:07

Not testing this month, no ov at all.
Putting it down to coming off the pill. Hope for better luck next month

pixie0602 · 29/01/2013 22:36

WakeyCakey · 29/01/2013 22:07

Just had a quick look online so I'll have a browse of the shops tomorrow. Might give me what I need to quit! Smile

pixie0602 · 29/01/2013 21:11

I'm debating whether or not to get a opk.. Will see what happens in the next couple of months.... Wakey I had it in sainsburys.. It's £4.99 and I the equivalent of 30 real cigs but you can get the re chargeable ones too so that's my next purchase tomorro x

WakeyCakey · 29/01/2013 21:05

I haven't used the clear blue ones yet, got them off amazon, afraid of wasting them if I don't ovulate.
Until my afs get more regular I don't think I'll bother as font want to waste the money.
Didn't ever really think about them until I joined MN.

Pixie where did you get your electronic cig?

Hello, I have no reason to join this thread as I already have my 2 children but I wanted to say good luck to everyone and can I just point out that the clear blue ovulation kit is very expensive.

I got an ovulation predictor kit online 8 years ago (I have endometriosis so my cycle was anything from 26 to 42 days) I just peed in a pot and dipped the predictor strip in. It told me whether I would ovulate within the next 24 hours.

I can't remember how much it was but a quick google has shown me that the ones out there are much cheaper than the clear blue ones.

vicki2122 · 29/01/2013 20:37

Is anyone testing in 2 weeks?

pixie0602 · 29/01/2013 20:23

I'm not sure I have... Not that it makes a difference coil doesn't come out til tomorro and af due in just under 2 weeks. iPhones are evil!!!

WakeyCakey · 29/01/2013 20:15

I don't think I have ovulated at all this month so far so just waiting for AF to arrive next to start again.
Was delightful at work when my phone went off with a pop up saying 'your period will start soon' always a good thing for your colleagues to see!!
Bloody iPhone app!

pixie0602 · 29/01/2013 19:24

Sodding autocorrect!! Pg* not of

pixie0602 · 29/01/2013 19:23

Setay sorry on the bfn Confused if it wasn't for wanting to get of there's no way would I be giving up so I can sympathise totally xx

setayharas · 29/01/2013 19:13

Hey everyone can I join, cycle4
Anyhow a day late now and getting bfn :(
I have given up smoking this is week 4 now but with every bfn I fancy one a bit more! as finding it hard not too give in when I think I'm not preg( that's the only reason I said I would ever quit lol) I enjoy em far too much to quit for my own health
