First timers: ttc in June

Here is where I am at today:
Day 28 of 29 day cycle. Feel very much like someone who is about to get their period.
Went to the GP yesterday to tell her we're TTC. A few things came up that I should have expected but forgot about:

1. No blue/soft cheese! I forgot about this rule! I've been happily tucking into a wedge of bree every weekend with a girlfriend forever! I wasn't planning to tell her I'm TTC but will have to come up with an excuse to start skipping the cheese! It amazing how fast going from not telling someone something starts to look like an elaborate web of lies!
2. Blood tests - I need to have some. I nearly cried.. why? Because I am a wimp of the highest order! I dodge needles whenever I can, and carry on pathetically when I can't dodge them (which is most of the time).
3. Smear test! For me this is more scary than the needles, and that is saying something. I had one when I was 20 so I'm ridiculously overdue for another.
4. Why is someone as scared as little things like blood tests and smear tests TTC?

I hope u get some answers soon star hopefully a bfp!!!! I'm on cycle number three of ttc... CD 8, I've decided that this month I'm chilling out about it all and not doing any opk's and I don't know how but I'm going to try and not symptom spot I drove myself mad the last three cycles and then got very grump and upset when af arrived. Does anyone else do this ?? Some good friends just announced there bfp it's a strange feeling coz although I'm so happy for them I couldn't help but fee beyond jealous!! Then I felt bad for feeling like that ... Our time will come I suppose x

I'm on CD32 and due AF on Sunday. I've had on and off cramping since CD21 which is unusual for me. Normally have really sore bbs for a week before AF but they seem fine so far.
I've been obsessively symptom spotting and got BFNs on what I think were 9 and 10dpo. So tempted to test again tomorrow morning, but my head tells me to just wait until Sunday when AF is due as I'm not sure how I'll cope doing this every month!

Glad you got your referral through quickly Pallas.
Are you feeling any symptoms Delphinium?
I'm now on cycle 3 cd9. My glow app says most fertile day is Wed. I started OPKs yesterday so will see what they say.

Yes indeed! We have, and are planning to add some more in the form of our long-overdue honeymoon! Thanks SinIck.

fingers crossed everything turns out OK for you and your OH Pallas. I know how hard waiting around can be when all you want to do is get going with TTC. try to have some positive things booked in to look forward to in the next month, this will help the time to go faster x

Welcome MrsH!

Thanks Daisy.

We have had our referral: Mr Cat will have a scan next week, and a follow up appt with results, hopefully, Tuesday of the week after.

He says he doesn't want to TTC this month until we know what we're dealing with. I know this is coming from his concern and love for me, and possible LO - so totally respect his decision on this. At least my head and heart do. Uterus is shouting rebelliously that TTC is now urgent and should be priority.

Anyway, looks like we're out of the game for this cycle.

Awww Pallascat my goodness I hope your ok... It's must be so hard. I hope he is seen very soon so you can get some answers x take care x

Hi all, hope you dont mind me joining. I'm 27 and dh is 32. We are ttc for number 1 and we are now on month 10.
My mum and sister know but dh's family have not been told as it will be there first grandchild so we want to keep it a surprise. I've recently had a blood test for ovulation which came back ok and have an ultrasound appointment next Thursday. Trying to stay positive.
We have a choccy Labrador who is 3 and is always making me smile x

Thank you sizzle and anon xxx

PallasCat Sorry to hear this :( Hope it all turns out to be fine xx

Pallas, so sorry to hear this and I completely understand how you feel. I only had to wait 4 days for answers while my OH was in hospital and that felt like forever so I really hope you get some answers quickly xx

Not a good start to cycle 2 DH has a major health scare. He has been to the dr and we are waiting for him to get referred, which should be very soon. Hopefully it is a false alarm and nothing serious - I'm really struggling with waiting to know. TTC can't be our focus now, but in a weird way it makes it seem more urgent for me.
Sorry - completely me-focussed, but I don't have anyone to talk to about this except him and I don't want to worry him about how I feel at this time.

DelphiniumStar Well I'd usually be at work right now but instead I'm off sick with diarrhea. :( Enjoy your cycle! :)

Thanks daisylassy I'm dealing with the wait by telling myself there is no way, it'd be silly to expect a positive on the 1st go! (but you do start noticing everything!) I have a GP appt next week, looking forward to discussing things with her. Its so good to have this thread, otherwise have no-one to talk to about it! (except for husband!)

DelphiniumStar - I was on the pill for about 17 years. My 1st cycle was 50 days, but now I'm down to a nice normal 28-29 days. Came off in Aug last year. Hope you settle down soon!

Hi swizzle and an0n... I love that the craziness hasn't got you yet... With every new month some a little more craziness for me.... Sinick lets hope they are sore from babies not from you and oh prodding and poking at them!! Fingers crossed star!! Cycle number three for me cd3 and only a 26 day cycle so think I ovulate earlier than I think I do... Let's all hope for a BFP July for Easter 16 babies!!!!

I'm in the same position! 26, husband is 35 and we are TTC for the first time. We haven't told anyone IRL because, well, it's none of their business!
We've decided just to keep it casual. No craziness yet. No apps, or counting or anything. As I've been on the pill for the past 10 years I think it's going to take some time for my body to realign so we won't go crazy for a few months yet.
So yeah.. hi!

Hi everyone! I'm really loving this thread and thought I would join in.
I'm 33, partner is 37. 1st ever TTC. Should have ovulated on 21st June but did not get usual signs. Period due on 6th July. Have not told anyone we are TTC (and they would be very surprised as have only just changed mind from planning to never have kids). Have cut out all alcohol and cut down a lot on caffeine (I miss my coffees!). Fit and healthy and eat well, but worried about my fertility anyway!

boo to af daisy. Have a few beers in the sunshine this weekend to take your mind off it. fx July's the one for you.

I've still got a week to wait for af. Boobs definitely sore but not sure if that's too much enthusiasm from OH lol, me constantly prodding them, or an actual thing... seven. more. days.

Hi new folks good luck to u all this cycle... I'm with you pallascat as my AF arrived today with a bang I don't remember it been this painful... Felt a little grumpy about it too but onwards to julys cycle. Best of luck to all those still in it for June... X
