Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Hi tashajade! We're kind of in the same boat. I came off the pill and had my bleed then it was just under 5 weeks until i got my real period. Everyone is different though and it can take a while for ur first period to come. I was on the pill for 9 years so wasnt expecting it so quick!

sarah1391 · 11/05/2015 13:16

Brooke Flowers ur not a failure! I believe everything happens when it's meant to, hopefully for u that will be soon!

violet age 24, when is BFP due? Is it the day AF is due? Also methods...dtd whenever DP is at home

Issie339 · 11/05/2015 13:15

brooke don't be upset hun, as Violet said you're only on cycle 3 and its totally normal for it to take a lot longer to get pregnant. I'm on cycle 7 and certainly haven't given up hope so I won't let you despair at cycle 3! I know a lot of people who took a long time to get pregnant- 3 who took over a year, one who took 8 months and another few who took about 6 months, and that's just the ones I know well enough that they would tell me that. People don't usually tell you they've been trying for ages and so it seems that everyone just gets pregnant straight away but they don't. Sending cyber hugs to you hun, please don't be too upset, it'll happen.

Hi tashajade welcome. How frustrating for you, I hope your cycle gets sorted soon.

Thanks for the updated list Violet! Fabulous as always Smile

Hi im new to all this.. Me and my partner agreed to start TTC around 4 weeks ago but since stopping my pill ive had no period just a withdrawal bleed. Been taking OPK test everyday and nothing, took pregnacy test nothing still.. arr just want to ovulate or have a period so I can start tracking everything !! why is it all so complicated ?!!

VioletIbiza88 · 11/05/2015 12:03

Brooke don't be silly you are not a failure, you probably conceived your current two unusually quickly and now are thinking thats the norm. But it isn't! There is no reason to think that anything is wrong with you, and you are not out this month yet. Hugs hun. x

VioletIbiza88 · 11/05/2015 11:59

There are gaps and there may be errors as there is a lot of us now.

When we're ttc I double fold a pillow under my bottom after dtd which tends to be last thing after baby's dream feed so I can go straight to sleep. Then get about 5 hours slightly raised with gravity helping the swimmers reach their destination. Probably makes no difference but has worked 3 times for me so am superstitious now!

Brooke113 · 11/05/2015 09:36

Had a few tears this morning as I feel like I'm a failure of a woman :( I know I should be thankful as I have two wonderful dc's but I wanted to complete our family, I don't know what could be wrong with me :(

firsttimenewbie · 11/05/2015 08:00

Ah no I am sorry brooke that sucks :-(

Gross question for you all, does anyone have any issues with losing his 'deposit' or does it not matter. Read different things. Have tried the whole legs in the air thing but doesn't work.

Brooke113 · 11/05/2015 07:53

Ive woken up with definite pre Af cramps this morning :( think she might even be early this month and got another 6 days before she's due :( definitely Af cramps though :(

sarah1391 · 10/05/2015 23:29

sparkles yup its month 1 so i'm not holding out much hope but u never know! Fx :) Bought a few more tests today too so hopefully AF doesnt show up anytime soon

And well done baby sparkles! How cute :)

Issie339 · 10/05/2015 23:09

Ahhh cute, there'll be no stopping her now

sparklesandfizz · 10/05/2015 23:01

X post issie 'twas "ta" - we're very northern Grin

sparklesandfizz · 10/05/2015 22:59

At least one of is definitely gonna stike lucky this month, come on girls we can do it, make those blastocysts comfy in your lovely womb rooms hehe!

Issie339 · 10/05/2015 22:53

Ahhh well done baby sparkles very clever baby. What was her first word?

Yes yes yes to symptom spotting, it's my favourite pastime Grin

Issie339 · 10/05/2015 22:51

My AF is due 23rd so there are lots of us within a few days of each other this cycle- eek!

I'm still caffeine free, have been 'on the wagon' for a week now. Amazed at myself, I never thought I could do it. Shows how desperately I want that bfp I guess.

I will defo keep you updated on any phantom symptoms- none yet but I'm sure I'll have some to report in a few days Grin

sparklesandfizz · 10/05/2015 22:49

Note to self - check back on stats I have a brain like a sieve and can't remember who's upto what.

Baby sparkles now standing and very pleased with herself, also had first word this weekend at 9 mths. So sad, she's growing so quickly.

issie lets symptom spot together yay!

sparklesandfizz · 10/05/2015 22:44

newbie wow, what a wonderful few weeks! Honeymoon baby really would be the icing on the cake Grin AF also due around 22nd here so we are similar dates for our BFP's.

violet I see you're also due 22nd but are you smeping to the letter and not POAS until cd35? ( I'm way too impatient and desperate to know to be waiting that long) hope your nights were quiet - unlikely in a&e I know.

brooke don't be down on your body. It knows what it's doing even if the opks are confusing you - like Bon jovi says "you gotta keep the faith"

Are you two still caffeiene free?

sarah looks like you're next up to POAS. Is it month 1 for you? Fx

sarah1391 · 10/05/2015 22:11

Haha brooke i think we're losing it! Thats exactly what i'm feeling and i would be probably somewhere between 4-7dpo (my app says 6)
issie come join us with our imaginary symptoms lol

Brooke113 · 10/05/2015 21:47

I too keep telling myself I'm imagining things as it's far too early if it were good news. I keep getting on off cramps down as low as my "female bits" which is strange, keep telling myself I normally get them to keep myself sane lol I'm around 5 days after ov, if it even happened this month? What is happening to us eh?

Issie339 · 10/05/2015 21:44

newbie wedding and honeymoon sound amazing!!

Issie339 · 10/05/2015 21:43

Ooh symptom spotting, my favourite Wink I'm day 1 of my tww, no symptoms yet but watch this space!

sarah1391 · 10/05/2015 21:35

newbie sounds amazing!

Pretty sure i've started imagining symptoms lol on friday i was exhausted for no reason and i keep getting weird feelings down there

firsttimenewbie · 10/05/2015 21:07

sparkles the wedding and honeymoon was amazing thanks. The wedding was in Cyprus and the honeymoon in the Philippines. Think I would have the worst post holiday blues ever if I wasn't so excited about starting ttc.
issie I THINK af is due around 22nd. To be honest I got a bit rubbish at tracking my cycle over the last month and it can vary a lot. But back on it now!
Fx for brooke and sparkles and any other 2ww-ers I have lost in the thread!
