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!

Good luck to all those who have just posted - hope everyone has a successful weekend ;)
My conceive plus came in the post yesterday so we will be using that from this weekend.

I had read some about cm - so thanks for reminding me about that guys. Will try and use that as my guide to start with :)
Happy Friday!

Good look to you all and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs! #1 was a very unexpected (but very happy) accident for DH and I, about 1 month after we met!!! I think that gave me unrealistic expectations when ttc #2 as after the first cycle AF arrived on our wedding day and I was gutted Hmm but DS was made on honeymoon and is now 3 months. I'm ready to ttc #3 now, but am BFing and no AF thus far (have started to give one FF in the evenings) so just going to keep "doing it like they do on the discovery channel" and hopefully get a BFP within the next few months!

Hi ladies

Me and my DH are offically TTC #1, We got married in August after 8 years together and have been TTC since Feb. DH is worrying about not been able to enjoy babies with him been 13 years older than me 28 + 41.

Just seeing how it goes for now, but know if AF appears I will be slightly didsapointed.

Fingers crossed for everyone x

Seasidedolly · 10/04/2014 20:26

Hi Ladies
Me and DH aren't officially TTC but I have come off the pill if that makes sense! We've decided to just be off the pill for a few months and see what happens, trying not to get too stressed about ovulation etc but its good to have a general idea about how your own body works. I'm hoping my AF will be fairly regular as it always was before I was on the pill.

We're going on holiday in June so will kick things up a gear then lol!

Fingers crossed everyone and best of luck!

xx

OiMissus · 10/04/2014 20:18

My word, you lot sound like pro ttc-ers! I need to catch up.
I'm ttc no 2. I got pg first time round 6 months after stopping the pill, at age 38. Now DS is 2 yrs and 4 months. We've been ttc ( unprofessionally Wink ) since then.
I am starting to think it might never happen. Am 41 now. May be I should look into these strip things, and conception stuff to help us along.
Am currently on AF. So it'll be action stations soon... I'll have to do some research!
Good luck everyone!

Ducky23 · 10/04/2014 19:21

It's not fair we have to wait Confused

sits on hands rocking

I'm trying not to symptom spot Confused

Brummiegirl15 · 10/04/2014 18:32

Hah I'm only about 3 days post ovulation!! I'm rubbish at this waiting!!! This is the first time I've EVER TTC - and it was weird almost going against everything I've been told to do. I almost feel that the ridiculous part of me is thinking "so, I did what I was told never to do with a boy" (we'll I say boy, DP s 44!! ) so therefore it must have worked!!!! Ridiculous I know. I need to not wind myself up. But if AF comes then hey ho. Loads of people I know caught on cycle 2/3 - plus longer. But I've heard good things about Pre-seed so will be buying some of that. A work colleague has just had DC 2 and she used Pre-seed and caught on Cycle 2.

Wishing everyone else lots of luck and BFP's!!!

Ducky23 · 10/04/2014 17:40

Your not out until AF shows tortoise!!! Smile
