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!

You never get more patient! In fact I get more and more inpatient every month!

Aww ducky I totes understand why! I'd do exactly the same!

Lillamyy - hopefully next month will be our month! Have u tried opks? My sister in law used them and got preg in the first month!

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 12:01

Aww, I expect you've got more patient since you started TTC. I'm only on month 1 and I'm going mental!! Grin

Ducky - I reckon when I'm pg I'll be doing exactly the same!!! Grin

Thanks lillamyy ?? we got married in August....don't think the hubby was ready for the crazy baby lady tho! He doesn't know that half of what i do! Forever poas! It's so easy to convince yourself...how long have you been TTC?

Start clomid on day 2 and take it for 5 days....then back to doc for another internal scan on day 10 to see how many eggs there are! Clomid increases the chances of multiples so if there are lots of eggs there'll be no dtd this month!
If there are only 1/2 eggs it'll be back to the opks....I spend my life counting down days!!!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 11:47

I'm still poas Blush

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 11:35

Thanks Ducky Smile
Welcome blondie!! Smile You sound like you'll fit right in here with us!! We're totally nuts about poas - I started about a week before AF was due Grin It is really easy to convince yourself, isn't it? When did you get married? Congrats! Hope your tablets start working quickly and you get a BFP sooooon!

blondie138 · 27/04/2014 11:27

Me too!

So exciting for you! My friend was the same as you - she had no symptoms and kept poas all the way up to the scan! Try not to worry....easier said than done I know!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 11:21

I'm not too sure to be honest! I thought I was 5+2 and midwife thinks I'm 7+3 but I'm having a scan the week after next to confirm dates Smile

Haven't had many symptoms which is starting to worry me! I have has some insomnia and am a bit tierd and eating loads but no sickness or anything Hmm

Hope it happens quick for you Smile

blondie138 · 27/04/2014 11:10

I know! It's so frustrating! ?? we were trying for months and nothing was happening....started using opks and didn't get any smily faces! All those wasted months!!
Then started all the docs, bloods, and internal scans ??

Hopefully these tablets will sort it all out!
How many weeks are you now ducky? You feeling good? I can't wait to be pregnant!!!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 11:03

Hi blondie!!!

Good luck with TTC Smile

Not ovulating! That's nuts!

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 11:01

Lil your not beig unreasonable! When DH wouldn't DTD one day I went in a right strop haha! Little did I know we'd already caught Smile

Your not out until AF Smile

Hope you May lot are staying here Grin

blondie138 · 27/04/2014 10:58

Hey girls, I'm really late to this thread but just had to join as you all sound as crazy as me about poas and symptom spotting!and that alone has made me feel so much better!

What about this for crazy - I was on the pill for 16 yrs...came off it in sung when we got married...been TTC #1 since but it turns out I'm not ovulating at all .....however I am still about to go poas!! AF due tomorrow then im starting Clomid on Tuesday to my ovaries stimulated! I feel mental - I know I'm not even ovulating but still convinced myself I'm preggers!!

Congrats to all the new BFPs! You seem like such a lovely bunch Smile

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 10:58

I don't get paid till tomorrow so can buy another test tomorrow but think I'll leave it till Tuesday so that I can use FMU n if by Friday still no AF n no bfp will have to go see the doc n see what's going on
Sorry to all the bfns everyone :(

BearsInMotion · 27/04/2014 10:18

Sorry to hear about all the BFNs :(

I've not been very active on the May bus, while AF is still here. Seems such a long time to wait!

Anyway, you're not out until AF arrives so there's still hope for April :) x

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 10:12

Feel really annoyed with DP now because the one time we had a space of a couple of days instead of one day without dtd was the day I was ovulating because he wasn't 'in the mood'. I know I'm being unreasonable because I can't expect him to feel like having sex all the time but he wouldn't even let me give him and 'encouragement'!

lillamyy1 · 27/04/2014 09:57

BFN too!!! Aaaargh! Unlucky Sunday club Sad
I used a clearblue digital which is only 25mul and it took ages and ages to show up, but I'm pretty sure that's it now.
Thanks to unlucky sunday clubbers - and roll on May cycle!

Popple85 · 27/04/2014 08:38

Booooo to BFNs! Definitely try testing again tomorrow morning...

And if AF shows, then May will be a fabulous month for BFPs. I can just feel it.

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 07:16

Yea best using fmu

Bugaboom · 27/04/2014 07:09

Best to wait until tomorrow morning or a bit longer? Monday club cupcake? Smile

Ducky23 · 27/04/2014 07:06

Cupcake & boom, I think that calls for a re test Grin

Sorry to all the BFN'S Hmm

Bugaboom · 27/04/2014 07:00

Bfn here I think but just went to throw it in bin and can see a faint line. But it's passed the 10 minutes when you are supposed to ignore the results. Feel a bit crampy as if A still coming. Will retest in a few days and maybe change test?
Thanks to all the BFNs- but you're still in until AF comes.

Cupcake92 · 27/04/2014 06:38

Bfn for me as well so I'm out :'(
Test was weird tho it show anything at all up for like a minute then control line slowly showed up I got excited at one point as looked like a positive line was comin up but then all disappeared :(

elcarmen2010 · 27/04/2014 06:31

My Sunday club result us in. And it's a BFN!!! Which has completely ruined all my fun. AF due today so I'll just sit back and wait for her arrival. Good luck and fingers crossed to the rest of you ladies texting today. Hope you have better luck than me Xx

HullKat · 27/04/2014 01:48

I am ttc 1, cycle 2 and AF due 10th May and I'm 35 :-)

HullKat · 27/04/2014 01:45

Thanks for the welcome, bf is working nights and my body clock is all over the shop, hence me being up at this hour! Good luck to you all for the BFPs in the morning. Baby dust to you all x

Imustbecrazy26 · 26/04/2014 23:20
