TTC #1 hoping for BFP before xmas.

I agree just go for it jcandy, when I had my implant out the nurse said wait for my first AF, well nearly 7 weeks and still waiting. The condoms she gave me went straight in the bin.

Good luck!

Thanks missmartin all just a bit excited now! Good luck to you too

Jcandy- Just go for it, cant do you any harm Gooduck x

Had my mirena removed yesterday and now struggling to decide whether we should just ttc straight away or wait for my first AF.........

GoodLuck to Everyone!! Ill also Join in :) I came off Microgynon end of last year and ive just started TTC #1 .. Just gotta wait and see now

I got one step ones from eBay really cheap. I'm also ovulating again this morning.... According to opk (middle) obviously I took 2 pregnancy tests as well because I'm a poas addict. I have too many and can't stop testing!!!

Well that's me out for this month :( feeling quite sad although know must dust off and keep trying as only been trying a few months... Keep having bouts of anxiety that it isn't going to happen and random teariness! I think I am just hormonal though! Bah!

On CD23 (but my cycles are looooong) so I suppose I am in the 2ww but not holding out much hope, we didn't dtd that much and I don't think I have ovulated anyway which is such a worry :(

I might use OPKs next month. Where did you buy yours from Melody?

Lots of luck to everyone on the thread xx

I've been having positive opks in the am and negative in the pm for about a week! I'm 4dpo according to my app. Took another opk just now and it's positive again god knows if or when I have actually ovulated. These are just some of the tests iv taken last couple of days. I'm not good with opks I might not bother with them again. Although I do have about 20 left!

CD14 for me dtd on 8, 10 & 12 and hopefully tonight although DH is getting his tiredness excuses ready! Then I'll be into the dreaded tww. CBFM has been giving me high readings since day 6 but no peak. It's my first cycle using it though so apparently it is still getting to know me and may miss peak. Hope so as don't think I will convince DH to dtd anymore after tonight.

Hi Idle, no nothing here either, so frustrating. I've started using the odd OPK just in case! I know they're going to be negative but feel like I need to do something! Wish AF would just turn up. I'll have a google of the book.

Hey everyone, according to the ovulation calendar, this week is " the week " I most likely to fall pregnant - so trying to get lots of practice in but my partner feels like it's "on demand "!!!! I just hope that it happens soon for us all on this thread!

No news here, AF is due 2 weeks today. I have no idea if I am ovulating either.

Gemerama - Sorry to hear about your DH's results - fx you'll get pregnant this cycle and there'll be no need for a further round of tests.

We've decided to wait until October before having any tests (although realistically that's only 2 cycles away, so we can't bury our heads in the sand about it forever). I just really hope I get a sticky bean before then.

No news here, I think I am ovulating but who knows!

I have also read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and found it helpful. I am just hoping that my temp rises soon so I know if I have ovulated. I am not good at waiting and TTC is all about waiting.

Lots of luck to everyone xx

Hi guys,
Can I join too? We have been TTC for 2 months now. I am 32 and off BC for over 2 years mostly using withdrawal method.
Got married 2 months ago and started straight away. Period started 1st day of honeymoon 4 weeks after wedding. DTD like crazy whist on honeymoon for 3 weeks so were feeling hopeful but after 2 days of symptom spotting and feeling super sick my AF arrived 5 days early :-(

I like to be super in control but have said we will give it 4 months of 'seeing how it goes' before I am allowed to get carried away with ovulation charts, temping etc!
Hoping for a BFP in dec/jan....fingers (but not legs!) crossed :-)

How's everyone doing? Any news?

Bluebird - anything happened? Still nothing at my end. Seven weeks today since implant removal. Dammit!!! I've been reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility (very good read, I recommend it to anyone TTC!) and I'm really keen impatient to start charting but there's very little point until AF arrives.

I suppose I'll just keen on waiting then as if I have a choice

Cariad you sound similar to me. I am 32 and TTC #1 since end of March/start of April. I came off the pill at New Year. Now on Cycle 6 (CD19). We were super excited for the first 2 or 3 cycles, but now feeling pretty defeated.

DH had a sperm test a month or so ago, idea was to put our minds at rest as he'd had surgery on testicles some years ago. Unfortunately the results weren't good. He'll be tested again in another couple of months, but I am hoping for a little miracle before then.

To be pregnant by Christmas would be too wonderful to be true Fx

Morning ladies. Can I join? I'm 32 and havevbeen ttc #1 since May having come off the pill in February. Had a cp at the end of June (Cycle 2) so stupidly believed that I was pretty fertile. Have been symptom spotting like crazy over the last two cycles, but alas it wasn't to be. Now in cycle 5 (AF/BFP due 17 Sept) and really over this whole ttc thing. Would love to be upduffed by Christmas (ideally in time to announce it at Christmas).

Good luck to all of you.

Hi Girls, can I join in? TTC since March when came off the pill, I can't even remember which one it was (is that important??) Been outwardly super chilled about the whole thing 'it will happen when it happens' blah blah blah, my inner self is of course freakishly checking for any and every sign possible. Been to the docs and told a little fib about how long we had been trying for just to get the tests out of the way, all seems OK, just waiting for one more result and then it's OH's turn for the ridiculous dash across town with a sample pot. Would be a lovely Christmas present wouldn't it!

Hey all, hope everyone is well. AF arrived early hours this morning :( sad but also pleased that after 10years of pill taking (stopped them at the end of May) my cycles are pretty normal.

My only worry is through temping I O'd on day 20 so only a luteal phase of 10 days. Should I be worried?!

My DP is patient but also thinks I'm crazy for being so scientific about it all. Perhaps it's the organiser in me, I like to know what is happening. :)x

Glad it's not just me. Yes I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ovulating or not too ... I suppose at least in a few months I can go to the doctor and show the charts, rather than just vaguely asking if something might be wrong...

And yes, my DH is much more patient than I am! I suppose one of us has to be :-)

I am temping and finding it not very helpful!! This is why I don't think I am ovulating.

My DH is being very patient with me doing it all! He of course just wants to DTD lots more and keep our fingers crossed but I have to feel like I am doing something about it all!

Hope everyone's keeping well and not too obsessive (unlike me)

...Out of curiosity, is anyone else keeping a temperature log? Mine is all over the place and being singularly un-useful...

Idle keep me posted if AF makes an appearance, interesting/reassuring to have someone else so close in dates to me waiting for the same thing. Yes when you stop to actually think about it, it's a bit cheeky of us to expect our bodies to just snap back to a normal cycle after all these years of messing it about. Would still really appreciate it if my body would play ball though.
