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!

Will have to find out how to ask for a pg test in spanish... Confused

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 18:59

Me too... keep checking but no AF yet. Tuesday Club Cupcake?! haha! Grin

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 18:11

Haha Grin
Well I'm going to test on Tuesday if AF has still not arrived :)

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 17:55

Oh! I read that wrong!!!!!! I got all excited! Well there's Deffo time still then!!!Grin

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 17:38

No I've not got one yet! Lol!!
I had one when I was pregnant with DS lol!!!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 17:26

Yaayyyy cupcakeeeee GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin as I have been told by everyone so far, a line is a line! My first one was stupidly faint!

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 17:23

I'm usually completely dry right before AF but this time I've had lots of cm all the time.
I'm 17 DPO now and 3 days late according to FF.
I got an extremely faint bfp with DS at 17 DPO so faint only I could see it just hoping I get a bfp in the next few days!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 17:15

When are you due lil n cupcake?

I had AF cramps too and was sure AF was coming but it never! Implantation cramps can be the same as AF

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 16:46

Argh, think I've got AF cramp... Sad

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 16:21

Just read that creamy cm is a pregnancy sign!!!

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 16:18

Cupcake, I'll be surprised if you're not pg!! It sounds like you've got some symptoms Grin How late is AF now?

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 15:42

Cupcake, I had that!

It can be something to do with implantation or my midwife says it's just 'pregnancy discharge' ewww I hate that word. Confused

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 15:31

I had that day before yesterday. Might be a good sign? I know before my AF I don't usually have much cm...

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 15:24

Hi blonde !! Good luck in ttc! :)

Tmi warning!!
I am constantly running to the loo thinking AF Is here but it's just a lot more cm :s
Whys this? Ttc can be confusing lol!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 14:27

I have the fertility friend app on my phone Smile

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 14:26

Cool, thanks! I'll give them a go Grin
Have just joined fertilityfriend.com, has anyone else been on there? It seems pretty accurate!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 13:50

They're a bit like tests lil, you do two a day, I did them around 2pm and around 7.30pm (fmu isn't good for these) and when you get 2 strong lines it means you will ov in the next 28-36 hours Smile although from doing way too much reading on the internet it would appear tracking cm is the best way!

If you wanted to try opks you can get something like 40 cheapies off eBay for around £5

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 13:41

Hahaha I always spend ages in the family planning aisle too, Popple!

Blondie/Ducky, never tried opks, don't really know how they work?? Not sure if it'll be worth it next month, because by the time I get back from Spain I'll be on day 15 of my cycle (presuming AF comes tomorrow) so will either have already ovulated or be ovulating that week (I think it was around day 18 this month, but I'm just guessing really because I noticed I had ewcm that day - tmi sorry!). DP's going to make sure he's not working the 3 days after I get back so we can hopefully dtd as much as possible Grin.

Popple85 · 27/04/2014 13:31

Hi Blondie!

Lillamy, I'm feeling completely impatient on cycle 1 too... Was hoping to put it down to the novelty of it all but have a feeling that Blondie might be right and impatience/craziness is only going to get worse...

I now have a total of 8 HPTs in the medicine cupboard. Ridiculous when there's still at least 9 days til AF is due. Every time I go shopping I always end up in the family planning aisle!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 12:13

I used opks this month :-)
