Any other newlyweds who are newbies to ttc? Looking for a buddy!

B1985 congratulations!! Such lovely news!

How long has you been trying?

Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Hi all...how's everyone's doing? I lost the feed for this topic and just wasn't able to get back on it!

MrsS17 I had delayed honeymoon to but only 6 months so know how u felt!

Has everyone tested for Sept yet? I cheated and tests 5 days ago as been getting oddly spotty! Was negative but period was actually due today...got up 5am lol morning pee is best....and..BFP!!!!!!! Line was faint but has gotten darker as times passed! Made dr appoint for tomorrow... Wonder how far I am because my cycle was so messed up so we had literally been baby dancing every day! happy but hope all goes ok this time! Trying not to get anxious or over think now! Trying not to get too excited to as its obviously v v early stages still and anything could happen.

Good luck to you all and seriously don't give up because I had some really low low days esp as want over the m/c but its happened now so all is not lost if get negative tests - I've had my fair share!

xxxxxxxx

Vicki sorry to hear you've been TTC for so long. Have you been through any fertility testing?

Everythinginminiature I also came off pill in aug, but just the last week. So I'm hoping I can work out my cycles soon, whilst secretly hoping I get BFP straight away

If I guess a 28 day cycle (and I think I used to be pretty regular) then AF or BFP will be due 29th September. I keep telling myself I won't poas till it gets to mid-oct in case I'm not even ovulating etc. but I keep thinking about wanting to test at the end of the month?! First month trying. What would you ladies do?

I'm still in 2ww! Dpo 11 today. BFN's so far. A little spotting two days ago. Horrendous headache kicked in yesterday....still there. Looking at last months chart this happened before AF then too. Just waiting now for it to arrive, so we can move onto the next cycle!

My temp raised again today so think Ill have to wait a couple more days before AF arrives.

How's everyone doing? Anone due to POAS soon?

I got married last month but me and the husband have been trying 2 years now i just hope something happens soon ??

Indeed, haha. H had to go abroad for a meeting yesterday, and I wouldn't let him stay overnight, he had to get the eurostar home last night as he had 'other obligations.'

Well smack in the middle is the fun part then?! I think DH is just happy to DTD as much as possible. FX this will be your month

I think we have 1 bfp on here, but there should be a few testing soon. I'm smack in the middle of my cycle and waiting for ov, so got a while yet before I know if we've done enough this cycle.

Well I'm waiting for the thermometer to turn up and I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait this long cycle out to try to chart ovulation. i'm not very good at waiting for things!!
Thought we'd cover all bases on DTD as we were on honeymoon and enjoying this TTC lark!
How's everyone else on here doing? Any successes so far?

Hi munday, I would expect all a doctor would say would be along e lines of letting your cycle settle down for a few more months before worrying about infertility. Apparently it can take up to 6 months for things to get back to a natural rhythm.

In the meantime, why not track ov and temps to be aware of what's going on?

Hello, this is my first time posting, although I've been having a look on here for a while. We got married in April and DH finally decided he was ready to TTC in July when I came off the pill.
My first cycle was 25 days, however I'm now on day 39, had a BFN today and not sure what to do next.
Should I go to the Drs or is it still too early do you think?
Just want to be one of the lucky ones who get their BFPs straight away!

I've been taking folic acid for 3 months and have stopped drinking. But then I'm not a big drinker anyway. Not sure how long I will be able to remain virtuous!

I'm taking folic acid along with calcium and vit d.. called folic plus I believe.

I haven't stopped drinking, but I don't drink much anyways. This past weekend was a bit of a change, actually, as I went to 2 weddings and got horribly drunk at one of them. I'm not yet on the 2ww, but I do definitely limit alcohol to the absolute minimum in the 2nd w of the 2ww, as apparently alcohol consumption can effect implantation according to embryo.asu.edu/pages/developmental-timeline-alcohol-induced-birth-defects

I have stopped drinking completely this week and I have been taking folic acid for about 2 months now

Yes I'd POAS if AF hasnt turned up after 6 weeks to be sure.

Is everyone taking Folic acid and staying off the booze? I keep on forgetting both!

WeightyKaty I'm glad it's not just us then! We were hoping to start the thank you cards last weekend but we just didn't find the time. It's on the agenda for this week!

So having just come off the pill a couple of weeks ago I don't know what to do about waiting for AF or BFP. I think I used to be pretty regular but can't remember! Would you poas after 6 weeks just in case?!

Hello, can I join in too?

We were married last November but have only been trying since our honeymoon in August this year (loooooong time to wait for a honeymoon I can tell you!)

My cycles since coming off the pill have not really changed so I dont know if I should be worried about this or not, most women seem to have really long cycles when they come off - I know everyone is different but I feel like the only woman who has come off the pill and felt no side effects. I have bought some ovulations testing strips for this month to see if I am actually ovulating or not.

Deuscat we got married on 22 June too in London and we haven't done our thank you cards yet either

Wispa I've got no idea why ours is taking so long then I think it's cos they're only a two person team and have lots of other weddings going on as well? Still it will be something to look forward to in January when things are generally bleak!

How's everyone getting on? I finished my final 'withdrawal bleed' from the pill last week. Now dtd and hoping!

We are also in the process of buying our first house so that is keeping me busy. But I'm still always thinking about babies!

I loved choosing photos for the album! But why won't you get it until January? Does it usually take 6 months? We got our video after 2 months, and our photos after 3-4 weeks-ish.

wispa I also got married on 22nd June! It was in Derbyshire, in a lovely old Victorian House. My fave bits were my outfit, seeing all my friends and family enjoying themselves, and the fun that DH and I had dancing - he never usually dances!

We have got our photos back and chosen which we want for our album. We won't get it until January though. We also have a wedding video to come in January, too. Can't wait!

This weekend we are going to finally write our thank you cards. A bit late ..

pinkhat1 how are you getting on with the monitor? It's been a lot more successful for me this month than last month. I had high for 7 days then peak yesterday. I double checked with an internet cheapey opk and that had a line definitely darker than the control line. It must have been the busyness of the wedding that caused the long cycle last month.

Lovely picture wispa. Really nice that your dog joined in with the celebrations :-) We got married abroad on a beach and it was beautiful with lots of sunshine for the photos. The best bits were the holiday, the beach and at the reception (in England) the DJ and the cake.

Thats lovely wispa! Loving your dress. Was that your thank you photo for cards?

My fave bits were my shoes, the food, photobooth and the DJ who was a risk for us a little but awesome! I just loved it which was a surprise as I was pretty worried. I don't have any pictures yet, why do they take so long?!

Welcome, new newly weds :)

Just a thought, why don't we talk about weddings for a change? I'm still on a wedding high after 2 1/2 months, and sadly everyone else thinks it's now just a distant memory (except my mum, who still talks about it every time I talk to her).

Tell me about your weddings - when, where, the best bits. If you're feeling adventurous, why not share a photo, too, and throw anonymity out the window?

I'll start: we got married 22 June at Hever Castle, Kent in a civil ceremony, and the best bits were: bagging a husband (woohoo!), having our dog in the photos, getting to spend 30 minutes of relaxing alone time wandering through the gardens, and lots and lots of desserts in the evening and a photo to show the dog: hitchedukcs.s3.amazonaws.com/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/27/6663.IMG_0777.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=1GGD02E4Z1ZJD3AK4F82&Expires=1378468760&Signature=kdED2F%2fgwcIfzOe5B2l15O%2fTry0%3d (now lets see if that link actually works, ahaha)
