TTC for the first time

Lol wakey... I prob should have made the coke comment more clear . Dh is pushing me to stop so I best had or he will withhold dtd lol. I've bought an electronic one and so far it's helping x

pixie I just made a face at your coke habit...until I realise it was like coca cola

I'm trying to quit smoking. Last time I quit as soon as I found out i was pg (mega surprise after condom and map) but started again after I MC'd.
DP isn't pressuring me to give up right now but I am cutting down loads.

Yeah me too blue... My biggest problems are smoking and full fat coke smoked my last real cig at midday and dp wants me to try and cut down on the coke ( in all fairness I do drink 6 cans a day)! Want to try and lose a little weight but dh doesn't agree.. I'm 5'5 and 10st x

Just out of curiosity is anyone else giving up smoking to ttc?

Vicky and blue.. My friend knew she was pg after 2 days... Pg no 5 tho after 4 prev mc... So kind of knew what to look for.. What sort of symptoms? X

Yea if anyone has an info on that let me no im going off some foods getting full quickly feeling a bit sick and getting cramping

Hi ladies mind if I join? I'm 27 and dn is 44, having my coil out tomorro so we can start ttc baby 1 :-) xx

I worry too about not being able to.
I had an MC 5 years ago and haven't tried since.
I always thought it was one night without protection as that's what they said in school.
I never saw myself having an app on my phone to track my periods and checking my pants for EWCM

Yea can i ask is it possible to have symptoms with the first week of pregnancy?

Hey blue freckles- what did you do to distract yourself in the tww?!

Hi all, great to read so many women in the same boat! It's our first month ttc, I'm using the cbfm and have used for 2 months now as wanted it to know me a bit better when we started trying. First month text book low, high then peak by cd14...This month lows until cd17 then highs ever since! Wtf?! My cycle is only 25/26 days and now on 22. Mmm. Perhaps I didn't o? However bd'd loads anyway now in tww. Symptom spotting is doing me no good at all!
Anyhow my fingers are crossed for us all! X

I just worry that I'm thinking it'll be all to easy to conceive. I need to realise that if don't conceive straight away it doesn't immediately mean that we won't xxx

I no im the same as you
Scared about conceiving and scared about not being able to and to be honest im worried i wont cope when my dp goes to work and im alone i need people i can talk to i dont have friends xxx

Hi vicki, I'm scared too. Scared that we won't be able to conceive but also scared if we do conceive we will have a real life baby! It's a crazy idea but something I'm so dead set on. It's nice to come somewhere vent all these feelings and everyone understands :-) xxx

The worst is at work. Because they know dp is older than me they know we are keen to have kids soon, but I can't control when that happens.
If I feel sick at work: I'm pregnant
Have a headache: pregnant
New uplifting bra meaning boobs looking a little bigger: twins!!!
It's getting silly.

One of my best friends at work is TTC and has been for 3 years with no luck and she's 28.
I feel so bad when people do it to her knowing full well she isn't pregnant!!

Hi Kat, yes lots of pressure asking when there'll be a baby! family, friends even people you hardly know make comments. Anyone else feel like they're being watched like a hawk for anyway give away signs? Like not drinking or eating certain foods, one guy even told me his wife had said as soon as I give up playing hockey that'll be it they'll know I'm pregnant. The way we usually deal with them is try and laugh it off, "yes, one day maybe,... He's got the dog that's OH's baby ;) ....enjoying hockey too much at the mo.....we'd like another nice holiday or 2 before we think about ttc...." Keep smiling & hopefully they'll get the message or hopefully by then you'll have some happy news to tell them :) x

Can i ask is everyone excited but scared about being pregnant?

Welcome vicki

blue I had the same sort of feeling, but can't help identify what it is sorry!

So after visiting my parents over the weekend and getting the 'when am I going to be a grandparent' speech I tested this morning which was naughty as its early and I got a BFN which was still disappointing. Got home from work and was sick which is odd, and one to add to my random list of odd things going on.

I will wait till Thursday to test again, not giving up hope until AF arrives.

Anyone else getting pressure to have a baby and got any tips for dealing with people?

Hi can i join ttc our first baby im 27 dp 29 we have been ttc for 2 months now and no luck i try and hope i am pregnant but need some friends in same boat as me
