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!

Thank you ladies :-)
Cupcake I will keep my fingers crossed for you! It's crazy what our bodies put us through. I imagine the panic attack was scary! Last month during my chemical pregnancy I started sleepwalking. All of a sudden - never done it before. At one point I jumped up in the middle of the night and was sleep "running" towards the door! No idea where the hell I thought I was going at that time?!?
I think if I didn't have the symptoms I wouldn't test so early. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for any good news! Good luck Xx My AF is due Sunday. Still have a little wait...

You try and relax cupcake! Don't want to go stressing yourself out. I know it's easier said than done Confused

Hi carman! Good luck for this month! :) I'm due Wednesday n tested today n got bfn but I'm still keeping fingers crossed :)
I just ate stir fry and noodles which is my fav! But feel so incredibly sick now :( n looking at my leftovers makes me want to throw up :(
Had a panick attack earlier all because I couldn't find my car keys n I've not had a panic attack in such a long time! Weird :/

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 20:03

Ahh il have to look for some myself lil! I did ride my horse until I was 7 months pregnant last time and she's a nutter Shock but will stop earlier this time just to be safe so am worried il just pile on te pounds.

Before I found out I was pregnant last time I came off her, would hae propably been around 5 or 6 weeks... Scary. Confused

Ducky, Cupcake, I've been on the crisps and I just had a huge portion of fish n chips AND a battered sausage! I never fancy fish n chips.

Ducky, I've learnt a few v low-impact exercises for weight loss in pregnancy as I'm 2 stone overweight and really don't want to put any more on... although it's worth it for a baby Easter Wink

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 19:53

And so sorry about your chemical pregnancy xx

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 19:53

Hi elcarmen! fx for you! xx

elcarmen2010 · 21/04/2014 18:58

Thank you so much. That's so sweet. Yeah, I dread to think how much money we've all spent on tests. I just can't help myself. After my chemical pregnancy I promised myself I wouldn't test early!! :-|
I'm just keeping everything crossed. Thanks for the message, it's comforting to know others are in the same situation as me Xx

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 18:45

Hi Carmen!!! Your in the right place if your a poas addict!! I wonder how much money we have spent on tests between us on this month alone!

Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. Thanks

elcarmen2010 · 21/04/2014 18:43

I've only just joined and found this thread. My husband and I have been TTC and this is month 3 of trying. I'm currently 10dpo and convinced I was pg. Sore bbs, very mild cramping, extra sensitive sense of smell but my symptoms seem to come and go. Except for the sore bbs. Just took a CB digital and BFN :-( going to try POAS again tomorrow although its probably still too early. Last month had a chemical pregnancy so just hope this month is my month! Good luck ladies Xx

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 18:31

I ate a bag of crisps for breakfast this morning which I never do! As normally I love my toast haha!

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 18:30

Lil, that was something I noticed. I usually have a very small appetite but I was literally CONSTANTLY eating! I ate so much it was nuts!!! Infact I just ate 2 dinners and could easily go for a third (oh my god I'm a pig)

But in my last pregnancy i got really bad morning sickness around 6 weeks and couldn't keep anything down and lost loads of weight, wonder if that will happen this time. I'm screwed if not! Ha Grin

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 18:25

Has anyone been really greedy in first weeks of pg? I can't stop eating atm - even fatty foods which I usually hate. Or am I just symptom spotting again?

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 18:24

Bears, it was EXACTLY the same for me!! Soooo frustrating!!!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 18:05

I was on the pill when I got pg with DS so I thought surely now I have no contraception it'll be easy! I was very wrong!

BearsInMotion · 21/04/2014 17:52

Yep. With DD we were thinking about trying but hadn't really looked into it - I thought when we DTD then it was in the week I couldn't get pg, apparently not! Now timing it, DTD every other day, NUDP and nothing!!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 17:42

I guess so lol
It's just so annoying isn't it!
It's like when u get pregnant by accident ur like 'OMG how did that happen?!' Then when ur ttc it's 'how can I not be pregnant yet??' Haha :p

BearsInMotion · 21/04/2014 17:36

Yes cupcake, it doesn't mean you're not pg, there's still a chance. Join me on the Bench of Uncertainty!

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 16:56

Yeah, there's still a chance, cupcake!

looking4rainbow · 21/04/2014 16:09

Cupcake maybe try with fmu it's the most concentrated. Fx for you.

I hope so ducky that it's implantation but feels a bit too near af date. If no af by Thursday will do a test then

Sounds like a few of us will be poas towards end of week. Last time I was 2 days late and had such a faint line with asda. There's hope till af I guess. Feels like you symptom spot till you make yourself believe it's so disheartening to see a bfn. It will be worth it in the end ladies Smile

I'll just wait till Friday now :/ so gutted but still praying

alizeeod · 21/04/2014 15:03

Oh no! Sorry to hear that cupcake! Xxx

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 14:56

But cupcake you have no AF yet and still 2 days until AF. I didn't have my BFP 2 days before AF.

Maybe wait a few days and if no AF try again Smile
