First time TTC - thread 2

Hello all, this is my first post on a forum ever! Felt I needed to put something down as this TTC thing is an emotional roller coaster and it's difficult to talk to friends about it at the moment.
I am 30 years old TTC baby number 1, cycle = 6.
Is anybody else struggling with the pressure of conceiving? I keep getting told to relax and chill out but TTC seems to be the only thing I am thinking about at the moment!

Fuzz I feel the same, I do have one friend who has a baby and we have become so much close since she had her lo as before that she used to go out to the pub all the time and our lives were quite different but since she had the baby we have had so many nights in together and gardening days and just seem to have a lot more in common. It's still scary though. I get worried that even though it's something I really want what if I cant cope, I suffer from anxiety and I get worried that it will make it worse. I try not to think like that as I am so much better than I used to be and I suppose it's natural to find it scary.

Hello all, this is my first post

I am trying to conceive again afte suffering a MC in December :-(
But anyway:

TTC baby number 1
Cycle=1
dpo 10, had a positive OPK.
Planning to test tomorrow

I am finding the whole business of ttc an emotional roller coaster, specially after mc. I keep thinking I won't be able to conceive ver again!
Good luck to everyone, it's helpful knowing there is lots of people in my same situation. xx

Haha, MrsGSnow, not sure I can handle another month at that rate!

Rosey, I'm the first one to TTC in my friend group (as far as I know!) and I keep having moments when I freak out. But like you, I'm not interested in travelling, or clubbing, and I work from home so I'm in a completely different place to most of my friends. I haven't even told my best friend we're TTC as I feel she would judge me...

Hi all

26
Ttc # 1
Cycle 2
Cd 15
Etd 8 - 10 June

Hello other first timers, what a terrifying exciting time! I keep freaking out and wandering what I am doing but I think that mostly comes from social pressures, lots of my friends have gone off travelling or are focusing in their careers but that doesn't interest me, I don't know why I feel like ttc at 26 seems too young and that people would judge me for it. Anyone else have these concerns? Its great to have a place we can talk about it or I would drive my OH mad!

Good luck everyone :) glad to be following you all on your journey xx

4 times a day! fuzz you deserve a medal! We're exhausted trying to squeeze in every other day and everyday in FW! whatever your partner is eating, need to send some my direction for DH!!

Hi can I join please?

Hi everyone!

I'm 27, my partner is 40. TTC #1
Cycle 5, CD2.

I must say I was so disappointed (stull am) that we didn't conceive my last cycle, we dtd FOUR TIMES a day and I was using OPKs! Jeez, how much can one take?!! This time I'm focusing on my diet and staying active. Fingers crossed!

Hi all! Can I join please?! I am very new to all this and still getting my head around all the different abbreviations... It's like a whole new language!
Our journey is being made that bit harder as DH is away a lot due to work. So having to be very very relaxed about it all (easier said then done) and DTD whenever he is home in the hope that it miracously happens at the right time

Anyway a bit about me...
I'm 29 TTC #1
Very end of cycle1 CD28... Awaiting AF any day now! Not getting my hopes up due to the reasons explained above! Xx

Hello everyone, I'm 25, TTC number one, on third month now. Trying to go with the flow this month, but I know the signs of ovulation now so I'm finding it hard to do that x

May I join?

TTC #1
Cycle 1, CD42 (stick with me... I will explain!!)

Had the Mirena coil removed 15/04, AF came 17/04 after no AF whatsoever on the coil for the last 3 years and tracked ovulation using OPKs. Appeared to show a surge CD13/14 so that would now make me 13/14 days late for AF but had multiple BFNs. Felt really crap when AF should have been due- like I should have been on but wasn't and it was loads worse pain and weepiness wise!! I did some more OPKs the other day (CD35/36/37) due to dull right sided pain (ovulation?) and they came positive around CD36/37. By some miracle we managed to time DTD just right despite him being vv busy and me feeling like utter crap. Have done a couple more OPKs since and they appear to have tapered back down again so into my second TWW!! Phew!! Now 5dpo according to FF and so wish I had temped to confirm but no matter!! I don't feel like anything at the moment, just normal and very level (which is saying something for me haha)

Anyway hi all!!

Hi
I'm 26
Ttc baby number one
On cycle 2 - CD 21 so a week past ovulation and just playing the waiting game now. Came off the pill early April and had a normal 28 day cycle so just waiting to see what will happen this month.

Thanks for new thread!
I'm 28 ttc #1
Currently on 6cycle
Cd19 atm
Using OPKs almost everyday to try figure out if I ov at all! FollowingSMEP plan too ( dtd pretty much every other day)

Just ordered some chasteberry supplements from Amazon today! Hopefully to help with ovulation. Read about herbs that can help from ovia app.
I'm a bit concerned that I have a very short luteal phase but can't be sure as I'm not sure when or if I ov. Have never had positive OPK thus resorting now to using everyday, twice some days!
This ttc is expensive business!

Thanks for starting a new thread!
I'm 40
DH 41
TTC for #1
Cycle 2 - CD14
Plenty of DTD. DH is very understanding and keen on making it work whatever it takes

Oops I have no idea what happened there!! Sorry I've messed your new thread up lol!

Thanks for starting this new thread!
I'll give you the low down on me too..
