First time TTC - join me on this journey

Hi all, this is my first time TTC and would be grateful for anyone else who wants to join this journey with me until I get a BFP.

I have been using the Period Diary app to track my ovulation/fertility dates. I have a period that lasts 6 days and usually my cycle is approx 27days. According to the app my ovulation date was yesterday (13th Feb). We have tried twice before this date.

Wondering if there are any others which have had successful pregnancies using solely apps? Or if they have any tips on identifying ovulation?

Would love to share the highs and lows with you lovely people on this journey x

Thank u everyone.

I would say just relax and try not to read into everything and try not to use google as your tool to understand every symptom the more u look into things the more stress you put on yourself. Just try and put it to the back of your mind and enjoy it and when you least expect it - it happens.

Hope you've all had lovely bank holiday weekends! AF FINALLY showed up, (bitch wanted to be involved on my vacation apparently.... Haha!) but I'm actually so glad she's arrived so we can get started again! Right ladies, come on, let's join Nish and get an April BFP!

Bellini239 · 27/03/2016 23:49

Thanks Nish for your reply to my questions on pregnancy symptoms ; really happy for you and congrats again. Enjoy this very special moment xx

Harpsichord85 · 27/03/2016 23:12

Congratulations Nish! Great news for the long weekend! X

Its funny because I was literally just saying to my husband before I read your post Nish that I don't think it has happened this month because I "don't feel pregnant".

I only came off the pill in January so I am still not sure what's going on with my cycles etc. I have been trying so hard not to read too much into things I am feeling etc and your post just confirms that! I still have about another week or so til af is due so I'll just need to be patient!!

It's so nice to see that you have got your BFP, and I wish you all the best.

Hi Bellini nope no implantation bleeding and no implantation pain neither - it just shows that u can be pregnant and have no symptoms at all 😀

Hey ladies I took a clear blue digital and it came back with this.

This is our 2nd month in trying for our first baby. The first month I was like a mad women constantly symptom spotting and took several pregnancy tests, only to be welcomed by AF. I then promised myself that I was not going to take a preganancy test anymore until the day my af was meant to arrive. That's what I did, today my af was meant to come and I thought it would because I had a slight dull achy pain this morning nothing out of the ordinary. I had no other symptoms at all - nothing, no sickness, no pain, no cramps, no dizziness etc. I was ready to get my af and did not think I'd be pregnant so I even had a few glasses of wine yesterday and last week. This morning I just though I'd try a test and was in utter shock! It's still early days but I'm super excited. I am sending lots of baby dust to you all xx

Hey Harp! And everyone else of course Grin I guess you just have to think that all of us as humans have problems so while it may be upsetting to see another girl preggers you don't know what other problems she has going on in their life, which I'm sure she does! She may look at you and think she's love to be in your situation for whatever reason! Nobody really ever has it all!! How long have you been trying for? So this is redonkulous but I contacted a fertility astrologer and she's writing me a really long report based on my birth data lol!!! It's probably totally BS but I couldn't help myself!! Lol!! Everyone having a good Easter? I'm watching first dates, love it xxx

Harpsichord85 · 26/03/2016 17:18

Hi everyone! At a weddin today where everyone is getting pg around me! Finding it harder to be happy for them but at least I can drink at the reception tonight! Lol Just got my period yesterday so another month of unsuccessful trying! My cycle fluctuates between 31 and 36 days it hasn't settled much since I came off the pill but we try to did as much as possible in the middle two weeks of my cycle. Belling I tend to know I'm ovulating because of the whole mucus thing and I've use the app called 'Clue's which is really good at predicting your ovulation days if you track your cycle for a few months .

Bellini239 · 25/03/2016 23:13

Hey eve and everyone! How do you know you're ovulating a few days before your period? How have you confirmed that? X

EveWebster · 25/03/2016 20:25

A bit of an update on my front. It seems I ovulate a few days before my period. Random I know. Period due on Monday. Dtd this morning. Fingers crossed. Hi Harp and Broody. How is everyone getting on?

broodypsycho · 25/03/2016 12:13

Harp I came off the pill in May 2015 too. Had my first af 5 weeks later in June and then I just count my cycles from there. I had a hycosy done privately this month, if I don't get pregnant in the next 3/4 month I was thinking about acupuncture

CFor123 · 25/03/2016 09:31

Hi Harp!!

Harpsichord85 · 25/03/2016 06:02

Hi all! Can I join? Came off the pill in May 2015. Been ttc since then. I'm 30 and like every one else thought I would be pg by now! Going to try acupuncture this month to see if it gets things moving along!

CFor123 · 24/03/2016 10:13

Thanks Blondie, It's tough waiting it out! My dh wants to be there when I test so at least he's there if it's a bfn! I wish I had come off the pill earlier too. I feel like I have ovulated this month but I'm not sure. For me the worst part of all this is the unknown. It's nice to hear from people in a similar position though for a bit moral support!

broodypsycho · 23/03/2016 17:01

Oh yeah, we have it brainwashed to us from a very young age the importance of taking the pill everyday or we'll be pregnant. It's a load of rubbish in my opinion. These women who fall pregnant on the pill, I think that particular pill is not strong enough for them..or they've got pregnant on purpose but don't want anyone to know especially not their partner if there trying to pull a fast one. It's been a horrible 9 months and I can't take any more pregnancy announcements on fb. If your not ovulating they'll give you clomid hopefully

Blondie0912 · 23/03/2016 16:48

Hey C- technically my 2WW never ended (haha!) but pretty sure it's just a delayed cycle for some crazy reason! Try and hold your ground and don't test early!!!! Fx!!!!!!

Broody- it was absolutely terrible- like around 1. something!!!!!! Who knows, I could have just gotten my cycle completely wrong but more likely I have a bit of an issue there Confused - so frustrating but glad I went because I'd hate it to be a year down the line and only just find out! I really wish I had gone off the pill much earlier- was always so petrified of getting pregnant at the "wrong" time- if I ever have a DD I'll make sure I tell her to get off when she can!!!
