TTC First Time... #3!!

Love love love your dress @jellybean! Gorgeous.
Well we haven't DTD since Tues, as we've both been shattered! Sometimes life just gets too exhausting! Pretty sure ovulation is over anyway, but we will probably squeeze in another one this weekend anyway.
I feel really emotional today as people at work kept talking about people they know who are pregnant! So silly of me, as I'm only on cycle 3, but other people make it sound so bloody easy!

What colour are you getting Misty? I'm getting mine done next week so I need inspiration

@Misty I never get my nails done, I want to but always forget/cba. My nails as a result always look a bit shit

Hello!!!! Phew! I kept trying to post yesterday and it wouldn't work - so annoying!

@Jelly hello fellow Londoner! your dress is amazing and you look fab! Hope you are feeling better soon.

@Misty is it FW for you? Tbh i dont see the point of putting loads of pressure on to DTD allll the time in FW, sometimes (often!)life just gets in the way! Anyway, t'internet says to do it every 2 or 3 days, and dunno about you but my FW is only a few days anyway (less than an actual week Im sure), which would translate to DTD 2 or 3 times max if every other day.

I saw some annoying ad on telly this week for family planning clinics I think, anyway they rolled out this statistic that apparently only 45% of pgs are planned....How do the other 55% manage it!?!?!? Baffling...

Lovely dress jellybean!! 😍

Yep loud and clear Pibbee! X

Hi all, this is just a test to see if it works! Phone wouldnt let me post yesterday...

Wow jelly your dress is gorgeous! I love your veil too!

I love the puffy mermaid dress! We have just cancelled our wedding abroad for a small ceremony in the U.K, my dress style will have to change for the climate!
Hope you're not coming down with a bug jellybean
Hope everyone has a lovely Friday!

Oh I posted on the old thread 🙈🙈 I'll just paste my message here too lol

Aw thanks misty 😘 although every time it comes round to dtd I always think awwww shall we bother with a condom 😂😂 this ttc is so hard! After MC I thought oh maybe I'm not ready, but it's constantly up and down at the moment!!

Hope you've all had good days xx

Thanks ladies, Our plan is also to stop after my last packet then go from there. It was my fertility Dr (been a regular there that last two years - not for TTC) who said I should have a health check with the GP before TTC. Think I will try contacting the fertility Dr and speak with him - he has been amazing!

As for the animals, genuinely part of what I do for a living is fertility testing in dogs. They have ovulation testing for most fertile days - and it can be difficult for them to get pregnant too. They also very commonly self abort, and absorb puppies/kittens. So, not so easy for the animals either!!

Hi all!

Flatwhite I didn't bother in the end. Been feeling fine since yesterday so will just write that off, even tho it was slightly weird! We've decided to hold off until around August-September, cos where I started a proper contract in the school I'm in I have to wait until April to get any sort of maternity pay... hopefully you don't mind if I stick around on here tho!!

Chrisprattsface welcome! Not too sure tbh. When I came off the pill I just stopped when I had no packets left, and like misty I caught without tracking and that was straight away. That didn't last either but I think it's different for everyone. I guess you have to decide when you want to start trying and let loose so to speak 😂 x

Hi Ladies! I haven't read through the previous thread, but wanted to ask about appointments with GP pre TTC. I'm still on contraception, but will be stopping this soon - I rang to make an appointment with my GP after advice from my fertility dr last year (various reproductive health issues) just so me and DP could have a chat and a health check (RE coming off contraception etc) and the receptionist asked what it was regarding, I told her, and she said they don't do that 'type of appointment'. Any ideas? I didn't make the appointment in the end.

@flat i know how you feel with the baby bombs! I feel like such a knob for feeling jealous of them but i cant help it! I am also happy for them too of course.

Why do you suspect you might not be ovulating? Don't let the OPKs make you think that. There's several threads on this board in which it's mentioned that people have def ovulated but their OPKs never went properly positive.

Im on CD9 and according to FF have just started FW but Ovia says next week (I've only just started with Ovia tho so not relying on it much). Me and DP just did a quick DTD as Im away the next few days, might as well get one in there! (Romantic). Typical to be missing most of FW but sod it, can't be helped!

Who knows ladies. I always have this worry at the back of my mind that I'm not ovulating. Have just seen another pregnancy announcement on Facebook. I feel bad that they make me feel sad!

Yeah @flatwhite I think I agree with @ttc although god knows...it looks not quite positive but near enough?!

Flat I think your OPK from Monday was your positive in all likelihood - like the others though I'm definitely no expert as they bloody confuse me to no end! Sounds like you've covered yourself with your DTD efforts anyway though . Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
