New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

Welcome Bubbapup I hope you get a bfp soon x

AF has started. Knew it wouldn't be my month this month, but nevertheless as each month passes it gets more depressing. Went to wedding yesterday. All day I got why you not pregnant yet or when you having a baby. I didn't know what to say and felt very uncomfortable. This joined by a friends constant whatapp photos of her baby (group message) and constantly saying how lucky she is and how wonderful being a mum is, has really made it hard the last few weeks.

Do you ever just get the feeling now and again that when it comes to having a family, you pulled the short straw? X

I am a little crampy today, and gagged cleaning up a broken egg in the egg box. Which was weird. I spent my childhood growing up around farms and stables, I've had animals my whole life, cleaned up just about every form of yuck known to man. Worked in vets, farms, stables, laboratories and, crucially, an egg grading and boxing factory and nothing makes me gag. I am only 5 dpo though. A bit early to be feeling anything. Who knows.

Fx Brenna! How are you feeling?
I am due to test on New Year's Eve!!

Hi Bubbapup and welcome. I hope this month i your lucky month.

I am in my tww too. CD 19 for me and I am going to test on christmas eve (if I last that long).

Welcome Bubbapup! This is a very lucky thread lots of BFPs! The waiting is the worst!

I was advised to use OPK from day 7, got a positive OPK on day 10 so I think I have been ovulating just earlier rather later as a long cycle may suggest! Will keep you posted! Hope you are all well xx

Hi would it be ok to join you?

I am 26 been with oh for just under 8 years and we are Ttc #1

I can off the mini pill end of September and we started Ttc after my first cycle. Am currently on cd21 and am getting impatient to test and am taking anything and everything as symptoms!

I haven't read through the entire thread but did see you have had a couple of bfps recently so massive congratulations to you!

Pretty much the same situation as me then. Hubby leavbes tomorrow until friday. Fertile window according to Ovia is ttuesday to saturday with ovulation on thursday. But I think Ovia may be a bit late in its predictions so I am thinking more like sunday to thursday and ov on tuesday. Sigh oh well. AS you say I can drink at christmas.

Hey Brenna

Been a busy week. Unfortunately husband was away this week so missed my fertility window :(. Oh well, at least I can have a few drinks at the xmas party lol.

Good afternoon Paige. How are you? Work has been crappy for me this week. But we have managed to DTD last night, which is good as I am approaching my fertile period and DH is leaving tomorrow morning until friday. So hopefully I ovulate early this month.

Afternoon everyone! How was your week? X

Annie I am on the TTC after a miscarriage thread too. There is some good support there for people going through things. It is so scary to start trying again after losing one and being afraid it will happen again even without the complications you had.

Hi Ladies.

I saw my acupuncture lady today, turns out she suspected PCOS. she recommended I take Agnus Castis which relieves PMS, but also promotes ovoluation & regular cycles, might be worth it for those who suffer irregular cycles etc. just adding my pennies worth really xx

Ah so sorry to here your news Annie. You're doing so well being so positive. I'd be a mess. X

Nothing new my end. AF due today but no sign yet. Last few have been early so I guess they could be playing up still. I know why haven't dtd since last period for one reason or another so I know I'm not pg. Unless it's from month before but I was still getting bfn 2 weeks ago.

Good luck for December everyone x

Sorry to hear that Annie. Hopefully you can have a restful Xmas and start a fresh in the new year :-)

Not much to report from me, I've been spotting since thurs but that seems to be quite normal for me before I fully start AF

Annie I'm really sorry to read your post. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Guess we shall see in a few weeks maybe :) x

So sorry to hear that Annie sending big hugs x

Oh Annie that is awful. Big hugs. Glad you are taking it so well. You are a strong, brave lady.

I used to get loads of EWCM when I was younger. Not much now and I still managed to conceive in August. It is a good thing to see but not the end of all hopes if you don't from my experience.

Can I ask a question. I've been seeing on a lot a ttc pages about egg white mucus.

I the only person who doesn't get this? Could this be a problem, as apparently this is ideally what you should have during your window. I think i'm ovulating now but no sign of egg whites. I think it's only happened once. X

Aww thanks guys, yeah I'm doing really well actually, these things happen. I have the thought that I can either let it really get to me or look forward and plan again.

Quite sore from the surgery at the moment but feel so relieved that it's all over now xxx

So sorry to hear that Annie xx

Hope next month is better for you ladies who didn't get your bfp this month xx

Oh gosh Annie I am so sorry to hear that, how traumatic for you! Sending you big hugs! Are you ok (well as can be in the circumstances) x x

Hi guys, unfortunately I had a bit of a bad few weeks, got told I was having a miscarriage and then it turned out to be ectopic. Had surgery on Friday & had my right tube taken out.

It's been a rollercoaster ride. I'm doing okay emotionally though & been told we can try again in Feb as I also had to have a shot of methotrexate.

Just glad it's all over with now & looking forward to trying again.

Hope you're all doing good xxx

Sorry pixie x
