TTC - First Time! (2)

I managed to avoid testing this morning and think I've managed to get my head out of thinking I am pregnant this month. I'm annoyed though, I just want AF to turn up now. Think we are all feeling the same aren't we!
Saying all that, my OH went out on his lunch to buy new pregnancy tests! Tesco ones this time - don't say how sensitive they are though. Spent a good ten minutes explaining what that meant to him earlier ha ha. The stuff I've learnt since TTC is crazy. How do people do this by accident??? 😂

Hi pibbee welcome to the madness. in the same boat here, off the pill in December - I think one of the other ladies are too!

Hello can I join your merry band? I've lurked for a little while and have decided it's time to get involved!

Some info about me:

Age 36
Cycle 2 (although really not done it properly this time AT ALL
CD 14 I think

So yeah, we only just started with this whole TTC thing, I came off the pill in Dec so tbh things could still be all over the place cycle-wise. Was symptom spotting like a pro in cycle 1. Haven't done this time as haven't DTD enough at (have pretty much missed all the days this cycle I think, due to illness/tiredness/crazy amounts of work). Am trying to stay chilled out but I have absolutely zero patience!!!

Best of luck to all and lovely to 'meet' you!

I completely get you! I have the same kinda - little low ache in the middle groin so hoping it's a matter of time!

But completely, there's always that 'oh I hope so!' thought in the back, that somehow it worked! I think I spend more time worrying there is something wrong now which is more stressful. I think I might take a step back from it all and just chill out. I hear that helps some people get it!

No folic acid are fine, I'm on them too :)

Also, got some crampy pains today, very low down, feels almost like a stitch or wind right in the middle of the pelvic area. Feeling pretty grumpy lol af due thurs and although I KNOW we didn't dtd anywhere near enough, or on the right days, I haven't had any symptoms nor have I been spotting any but there's always a teeny bit in the back of your mind when you're ttc of like "what if...?" And now even though I've been fine throughout my whole 2ww coz of our pathetic attempts during fw, now af is actually on its way, can't help feeling a bit down 😔

Thanks misty I've only been taking folic acid tablets - not sure if that would mess or not? They're only from tescos.

You're right I'm not out yet - I do feel like it might happen today or tomorrow which I'm fine about. The sooner the better, as I'd rather have an early dec DD than late 😉

Tuxie when I came off the pill end of Aug, I had one period as normal in my week's break, then another one 29 days later, and another one 29 days later again, I thought ooooh lovely, despite coming off, my cycles haven't changed! Then I took pregnacare conception tablets... and had a 38 day cycle! And they've fluctuated between 28 and 31 days since. So don't know if you've been taking any supplements?? That could be messing with your cycle, or if not, it could just be coz your body is settling after the pill. Try not to worry but keep testing coz end of the day, af hasn't arrived so you are technically late 😍

mrsj no, but then I've only been off the pill for once cycle where I was regular, so I suppose I can't tell. I do think it's just my body regulating, I'm happy for AF to come I think and we can get back to it. At least next cycle I won't be stressing after 28 days!

Tested this morning with Tesco and negative again. Aaaaargh this is SO frustrating 😡

Can I ask a silly question. We dtd the day before and the day after I finished a 4 day bleed, it was only after that bleed I started opking about 10 days ago. I have been opking and only had very low or squinters on the strips, I feel tired, heavy boobs and sometimes nauseous and have a funny taste in my mouth. I'm going to test on Friday to be sure but what are the chances of conceiving around a bleed? I did come off the pill end of Dec do cycle is still setting down.

Misty I think so! But saying that I do have a pack of FRER's along with a couple of packs of Asda tests that keep staring at me from the bathroom cabinet, so I might get tempted beforehand .

Polly there's definitely no such thing as romance where TTC is involved, it's alllll about the mechanics .

Charl that doesn't sound stupid chick, I had ewcm for almost a whole week after I think I ovulated! It was almost every day! It seems to have stopped now though. So I had it til about 7/8dpo. I'm due thurs and nothing except sore boobies. Highly unlikely af going to be be late 😂 so I will be waiting excitedly for yours haha.
Ttc are you going to hold out til you're late to test?
And mrsjkerry I can't wait til your af doesn't show!!!!
Polly there's no such thing as romance in ttc I don't think 😂😂

Misty my AF is due Thursday too.. although not sure what is going on! Had quite a bit of ewcm today or what I think to be that, but I thought that was only when you're ovulating? So not sure🙈 this whole thing is so confusing! Sorry if it sounds stupid!

Polly 😂😂

Really want DH to hurry up with his pre bonk shower, cos I want to order pizza. Romance

Clacton 2WW is two week wait, the gap between ovulation and AF.

Misty I'm not sure when to test as not 100% sure how many DPO I am, but AF's due on the 6th so will just see how I get on then! Glad you enjoyed the hen do, really jealous of your day off today - work has been awful and it's been hailing all day here - could have done with a day in bed myself .

I know I'm the same - need to stop getting ahead of myself n thinking everything is a sign!
What does 2WW mean?

Well last period was 10-14 Feb and not seen anything since so fingers crossed it's settling down a bit 🤞past 3/4 days had sticky clear CM so been DTD as much as possible! Should I start the 2WW from today?? It's so hard trying not to get too excited!

Good luck tuxie! Let me know how you get on!

I might give the £shop ones a go, and see how it goes.

A bit like you - I just want to know either way. I've not got many symptoms either way, boobs are different and vivid dreams, lesser of an appetite than normal but its just draining - fingers crossed you get a result tomorrow
