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!

Just did my first ovulation stick test thing and it was negative - I feel disappointed with just this as i wanted to crack on straight away! God knows how i'll feel doing an actual preg test in a few weeks and getting bfns then! ! Still worth dtd even if it says negative girls?

I love Millie too!
Good to hear others DTD every day, as I tend to too.
I am not due AF until 25th April , but is it possible to have symptoms already- perhaps i ovulated early. I hve had a strange cramping in stomach today...
Prob symptom spotting but never mind!
Good luck ladies :)

tashalou · 14/04/2014 17:49

The names I like are Matthew or Owen for boy and Millie and Megan for girl but I change constantly' always looking on the baby name app!

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 16:58

Aaww such pretty names!! :)

Kitkat I've not rele had symptoms yet, but with my DS I felt incredibly sick when someone even mentioned chocolate but I never got that symptom till my AF was due so I don't expect much for another week.
But I'll give in n test at 10 DPO lol!

Ducky23 · 14/04/2014 16:56

I'm trying my little best not to symptom spot :-| it is near impossible!

Ducky23 · 14/04/2014 14:29

HAHaHa :,) I know all to well of spending your euro millions before you won!!!!

I've designed my house and even picked my kitchen and floor!! Haha

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 14:26

Still in the running Ducky!

I've got that feeling of hope you get when you buy a euromillions ticket and mentally spend it!

Sore boobs, dry funny mouth and only 3DPO - I'm totally fooling myself!

Ducky23 · 14/04/2014 14:16

I like lily for a girl Grin and my husband likes Bradley for a boy Smile.

Did a test this morn and got a bfn Hmm although it's still early and I'm still in the running until AF shows Wink

all lovely names! I also like Robin and Charlie for a boy. Oooh talking about names makes me so excited!!!!!
Got a pack of 50 ovulation sticks through the post today - so know excuses now!
I'm off from Weds to to Tuesday this week - can't wait!
Anyone had any symptoms yet which might lead them to think it might be the month for them?!

OP posts:
KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 12:50

We already have a January born DS called Robin, and all being postive the next would be born in January too!

For another boy I love Felix, but our surname begins with an F so no joy there! I also like Toby...

Girls, hmmmm.... I like Emily, Anabelle/a or Jennifer.

alizeeod · 14/04/2014 12:45

I love Posy for a girl and Liam for a boy, unfortunately DP hates them both :(
We both quite like Dylan for a boy and Rose, Honor or Aurora for a girl.

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 12:40

And ur right about Mondays! They are such a drag eugghhhhh

Hi welcome! Theyveallgone!
Good luck hope u get ur bfp soon!!

I know we haven't got our bfp's yet but anyone have any names they've always liked or names they have considered?
I've always liked Mia for a girl and Theo for a boy :p

BearsInMotion · 14/04/2014 11:33

Ha! Yes, symptom spotting here - cramps, must be implantation! Don't think any of them are real, mind! Another 6 days until I POAS, will have gone mad long before then!!

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 11:31

Hi there!

I had my coil out in January too, and this is out first month sans protection!

Fingers crossed!

Theyvallgone · 14/04/2014 11:29

Hi everyone =) coming a bit late to the tread hope thats ok!

I came off Cerazette in January after being on either it or the implant for the past 7 years. Starting TTC this month ... not holding out much hope though as don't think my cycles have sorted themselves out yet :/ frustrating!!

Hope everyone is ok - looking forward to sharing the ups and downs :)

alizeeod · 14/04/2014 11:19

I'm doing it everyday but it's because I'm off work all through the Easter holidays! I'm sure daily shags can't harm my chances! ;-)
I'm already symptom spotting too, so far back pains, period-type cramps and insomnia but it's probably all psychosomatic knowing me!
