New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

Hello! Jumping on the bandwagon. We are TTC a little brother or sister for 22 month old DD. Conceived her on the first cycle, so fingers crossed lightening strikes twice! Currently obsessing over every twinge and symptom, and I'm sure in the last couple of weeks everyone I know and their mother have announced they are pregnant. Grr.

I freaked out a bit last Thursday with some bleeding mid cycle. Theories among the couple of friends who know I'm trying have covered ovulation bleeding, implantation bleeding, early miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. Great. So for those of you who haven't told friends yet, I don't blame you!

Name: MrsRhubarb
Age: 28
Cycle: #1
Testing: 27th - though I might not be able to wait until then!

Thanks for your additional stats - I'll wait a day or so to see if anyone else joins and then update our list!

Welcome Horsey :) Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, hope things work out for you both soon. I'm not really sure when my period is due as this is my first cycle since coming off the pill.. but if I go for the average 28 days then it is due on the 19th, thought I'd wait until Saturday to test though just in case. Plus which ever way the news goes I'd prefer not to have to go straight to work lol!

Hi ladies, is it ok if I join, been hanging around reading for a while and looking for a nice thread to join.

Here are my stats:
Name: Horsey

Age: 31
Cycle: #1 (after a missed miscarriage in May, conceived first month)
Testing: 22nd too!! (although AF due 16th)

Either period will come on Sunday/early next week as expected or I will be testing on the 22nd. I certainly don't "feel" pregnant BUT we timed it to perfection this month so thinking surely it's the one?

Looking forward to having some others to share the next week or so with!

Lily I did just the the same with chocolate mini rolls. Am keeping an eye out for my normal pre AF tendencies over the next few days but nothing in just yet. This week is crawling by so slowly, makes me look forward to work where i have enough distractions not to dwell!

Name: Pandabarney
Age: 32
Cycle: #1
Testing: 15th August

I enjoyed Bake Off this evening whilst eating a pack of oreos.. Bliss! Not had any twinges or pain, apart from thinking some food tastes a bit strange the only other thing I've been keeping an eye on is my CM which isn't following any sort of pattern at all! It's so hard not to get your hopes up first time round huh? x

Ok so our testing dates so far are:

18 August: Ali (Sunflower)
22 August: Kat, Lily, Lisa
23 August: Monkey
26 August: Pixie
11 September: ToffeeAppleMarsBar

Please correct me if I'm wrong.. and if anyone else would like to join you're very welcome!

Yours, Lily

Name: pixie
Age: 27
Cycle: #1
Baby: #1
Testing: 26th August (I think! - only had one period since coming off contraception - which stopped my period- so im guessing how long my cycles are)

In the middle of my fertile window and still not had a positive opk ????

Like this idea!

Name: Monkey
Age: 28
Cycle: #1
Baby: #1
Testing: AF due 23rd so will probably test a couple of days after that if I'm late!

Not had any symptoms so far other than some AF related but think it's probably too early to tell!

Thats a good idea, can I join in...
Name: Ali
Age: 28
Cycle: #1
Baby: #1
Testing: 18th august

Ive had one of those symptoms from the list, which isnt very convincing. But its month #1 so ill keep optimistic and enjoy the journey and try try try not to get my hopes up for the 18th...

My second AF was due 8 days ago but no sign of that. Also no ovulation symptoms, which I did have with first AF after coming off Pill. Feeling a bit stressed out today as impossible to know when fertile window is :'(

I'm convinced my food tastes different! So over thinking everything lol! Doesn't help that my DH asks me every day if I think I'm pregnant.. He's more excited than me!

Yep! Me too!!

Fab idea lily!

not been pregnant before but I think the main ones are
implantation bleeding(brown)
Tender boobies!
Nausea
Tiredness
Some don't even have any of these and just get a missed period...
It's a minefield!! You spend half your life on contraceptives trying to avoid it then bam! Obsession!!

I stole the idea from another thread.. they have spreadsheets going and everything, so organised.. I love it! Well I am a Project Manger so I love a bit of planning :)

Name: Lisa
Age: 37
Cycle #2
Baby#1
Testing: 22nd August also!..(will hang on in there and wait!)

Does anyone fancy making a list of when they are going to test? Then we can see how we all get on as the month goes by!

I'll start:

Name: Lily
Age: 30
Cycle: #1
Testing: 22 August I think (if I can hold out that long and AF hasn't turned up!)
