Hello there

Is there anyone else on here trying for their first baby around the same age as me? 25/26? Would love to talk to someone about it as I am currently driving my husband mad with all the TTC chat!

I'd say that's close enough to be positive mrsj - lots of BD'ing for you today!

Dollygirl27 · 21/01/2017 12:08

Thanks ttc! Crossing my fingers to hear news of some BFPs soon!

This my OPK just now. Any thoughts? Is it a positive? The second line doesn't seem as strong but I'm not 100%..

Welcome Dolly good luck and happy relaxed BD'ing to you!

Hi everyone - I keep losing this thread!

CD9 over here, just waiting to get into FW. Doing CB OPKs this month so hopefully should get more of a definitive ovulation date.

How's everyone getting on?

Dollygirl27 · 21/01/2017 11:35

Hi all! I'm 26 and this will be our first if (when) it happens. Me and oh not using contraception but not actively ttc... I'm hoping it'll happen without charting and tracking if I don't get hung up on all the technicalities.

Sending good thoughts and baby dust to all! Good luck hope 2017 is everyone's Year!

Hi Claire. Been very quiet on here last week or so- how are you doing?

I am what is apparently my fertile window but am yet to get a positive OPK...

Thank you ladies.

I'm ok, im just thankful it happened so soon. It wasn't nice when I went for a scan for bleeding and they couldn't see anything so said it was either ectopic or already miscarried! I was supposed to go in for another scan and potentially a chemotherapy injection or surgery if they decided it might be ectopic. I miscarried overnight so at least I avoided any treatment.

We have decided to try properly next month but not use protection this month if you know what I mean. Using contraception when we desperately want a baby seems ridiculous! I understand why they say to wait a month but I don't think I can do it!

How is everyone doing?!

I am trying so hard to calm down and not stress about things but I have a naturally anxious temperament and worry about everything.

I've been doing my reading, and read that trying too hard and stressing out about TTC can damage your chances. But it hasn't escaped my notice that I've been having unprotected sex for five months now with no results...underneath all of my everyday activities bubbles away this constant worry that there's something wrong with me...

Clare sorry to read about your MC, but well done for being strong and staying positive Flowers

passmethewine123 · 16/01/2017 07:29

Hi! Can I join?!

Cycle 1 for me, 7dpo...what I think was ovulation anyway!

It's all been a bit vague this month, could have ovulated anywhere between 9th and 13th. Had pains in one side on the 9th so I'm going with that date.

Have bought a basal body thermometer and lots of OPK's so going to be more on the ball next month.

Really really really trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard!

LB89 · 15/01/2017 20:50

Hi all, I'm new to this. 27 and TTC for baby number 1. Been off the pill for 13 months now and have just ovulated for the first time yesterday but on day 27 of my cycle? Have had irregular cycles which I thought were getting back to normal but this late ovulation has thrown me! Any advice would be appreciated 😊

Pinkbottletop · 15/01/2017 19:05

Sorry to hear that Claire

ttcnovice · 15/01/2017 15:49

So sorry to hear that claire FlowersSad how are you doing? Look after yourself xxx

88claire · 15/01/2017 13:09

Hello ladies.

I guess I'll be back soon as I miscarried on Friday. Very sad but we know we can conceive without too many problems... Onwards and upwards!

ttcnovice · 15/01/2017 13:06

Thanks mrsj Flowers looking forward to AF leaving now so we can get started again!

How's everyone getting on?

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 15:46

That's great pink maybe it was your new relaxed approach that gave you the edge?! I'm going to follow in your footsteps in the hope that it was Grin

88claire · 10/01/2017 15:30

Congratulations Pinkbottletop!

Pinkbottletop · 09/01/2017 13:43

Very very sore boobs and mood swings but I wasn't sure if PMS or not. Last month I symptom watched and then AF came. This month I didn't and today is first day of missed AF and I tested at lunch and got this. On hold to my doctors now to confirm!

ttcnovice · 09/01/2017 13:19

Wow pink congrats! Amazing news! Did you have any symptoms?
