I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

Cupcake92 · 26/04/2014 22:47

Test day tomorrow everyone who is! Safe to say I'm so nervous :/ lay in bed now feeling rather queasy! Just hope all these are good signs!
Good luck to all the testers!

Cupcake92 · 26/04/2014 21:32

No deffo not that it's like what I had wen pregnant with DS like a trapped nerve. Sciatica (sp?)

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 21:20

That's odd - it's not kidneys, is it? Have you got cystitis symptoms?

Cupcake92 · 26/04/2014 21:03

Thanks everyone feeling a bit better now.
But my lower back is in agony!

Bugaboom · 26/04/2014 19:59

Thank you Lillamyy!

ttc #2, cycle 1, bfp due 27.04.2014

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 19:10

I really hope it doesn't come tomorrow bugaboom!

Bugaboom · 26/04/2014 18:01

I know Ducky!! But it will be so annoying if it does come tomorrow because he will say I told you so!

Ducky23 · 26/04/2014 17:41

Bugaboom GrinGrinGrinGrin that's hilarious!!!! It only comes on a sunday!!!

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 17:23

Been watching one born every minute! The worst thing to try and take my mind off babies! Have no symptoms at all atm (AF or otherwise), feel totally normal. Is that a good or bad thing?!

I know it's really early days but if we've been unsuccessful after such a 'busy' month I'll be so disheartened Confused

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 17:20

TCC 1, cycle 1, age 30, BFP due 27th April (tomorrow!)

Bugaboom · 26/04/2014 17:20

Just told DH that I'm doing another test tomorrow and he told me that he didn't know why i tested yesterday as I always get my AF on a Sunday?! Which is news to me!Hmm

Ducky23 · 26/04/2014 16:37

BFP for #2 on 17/04/14 Grin

Got to wait for this scan for my due date confirmation Hmm

Popple85 · 26/04/2014 16:14

What are everybody's stats? (Apologies if you've all done this already further back in the thread!) It would be good to see when BFPs are next due. Mine are:

TCC #1 Cycle 1, aged 29, BFP due 7th May

Popple85 · 26/04/2014 16:09

We DTD four times during the five days before ov- we were both off work at the time so it was a good month to start TTC! Fx it's worked... If not next month will try every other day and see if that makes a difference.

Bugaboom · 26/04/2014 15:53

We only did it twice the week I thought I was fertile, 4 days apart. Intended to do it every other day but thanks to toddler who gets up at 5:30 every day, we only had the energy for twice!Grin

Ducky23 · 26/04/2014 15:41

Kitkat it was so faint it's ridiculous. I have it stuck to my mirror cus everyone laughed saying I was making it up. If you tilt it in the sun at just the right angle there's a slight shadow. But it was a cheapie, did it after with a first response and the line although still VERY faint was easier to spot. It then got slightly darker the next day and then lighter the day after and now if I do one the test band comes up straight away even before the control band and it's very dark Smile

We were DTD every other day and then two days in a row when we thought it was ov time and that seemed to have worked Smile

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 15:34

Can I ask how often everyone's been dtd this month? We were every other day until last week.

Ducky how faint was your first positive?

Hope you get something to cheer you up cupcake Thanks

Bugaboom I have also read that. False positives are very rare while false negatives are common. Hae you been using the same brand or changing?

Bugaboom · 26/04/2014 13:54

A quick bit of googling also confirms that they are not necessarily as accurate as claimed on box. I think if you get a positive it is very unlikely to be wrong but false negatives are fairly common. One website recommended waiting until one week after AF due!
Cupcake- can you go and treat yourself to a big slice of cake. Whether you are premenstrual or pregnant it may help!Thanks

lillamyy1 · 26/04/2014 13:41

Thanks cupcake. I guess it's either AF or pregnancy hormones? Both can make you emotional! Fish n chips by the sea might cheer you up?

Ducky23 · 26/04/2014 13:40

Cupcake I was soooo bloated! I looked pretty much the same I did at around 6 months pregnant! And think I still bloody do!

Boom - I know someone who only got a positive 2 weeks after AF was due, I have seen quite a few threads on here about that too with people in similar situations. Smile
