Hi,

This is all very new to me so would like to make some TTC buddies :)

Let me tell you a little about myself:
Been with my SO for 2 years now and we're getting married in 31 days! I'm 26 (nearly 27) and my hubby2b is 35. We bought a house last year and feel like now is a good time to start a family!

This is my first cycle and I'm really excited but trying not to get my hopes up as seen that it's harder than it looks.

Any advice would be appreciated :) xxx

I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since starting this thread! Really hope you all got bfp's and lovely bundles of joy xxx

I have a stupid question...
We are DTD every other day, not due again until tomorrow which is predicted ovulation day according to clue. But I've got loads of EWCM today. Should we break protocol?! Grin

Hi Guys - can I join - 1st time TTC!

Am 29, had the implant removed approximately a month ago today! did DTD during what I thought was my fertile time last month but wasnt holding out much hope as I think it might take a little while for the hormones to get out of my system (had the implant in for 6 years!).

I am so glad to have found this thread - since we decided to TTC it is literally all I can think about! I cant wait until my fertile period now to try properly! Im just hoping it wont take too long - I know it can take a long time after having the implant out - has anyone had a similar experience? :)
xx

MrsW0812 · 17/07/2017 08:15

I'm sorry @FrowningFlamingo 😞

I got a BFP yesterday morning and still in complete shock - I can't believe it's happened so quickly. Now just praying it all is ok and mc

FrowningFlamingo · 16/07/2017 23:05

AF arrived as predicted (boo) but all over now so it's time to start again Grin we are going to have a break until Christmas if this isn't our month so fingers crossed!!

I can def see that line - congratulations!

Magpie24 · 16/07/2017 08:50

@ddegville I see it too! Congratulations!

mrsweyms · 15/07/2017 21:29

I can see it - I'd take that as a positive x

ddegville · 15/07/2017 20:06

So I think I've got a very faint line on my test. Thoughts??

First time TTC
mrsweyms · 15/07/2017 20:03

Thanks @Magpie24 Might try tomorrow morning then. Been googling pregnancy symptoms al day and I think I've got them all that you should have at this stage!! X

Magpie24 · 15/07/2017 19:57

@mrsweyms I would test if four days overdue! I'm due today but not sign of AF but will probably wait a few days to test. Cycle 3 for me. Good luck!

mrsweyms · 15/07/2017 06:51

Morning all! Im 4 days late but too nervous to think we are pregnant on our first month ttc! How long should I wait???

ddegville · 12/07/2017 11:37

funnygirlthatbelle - Thanks! Smile

funnygirlthatbelle · 12/07/2017 11:08

Sorry about the BFN but hopefully it was too early and you will your BFP this weekend! Everything crossed for you Smile

ddegville · 12/07/2017 07:10

BFN this morning. Hoping it's just still too early to tell. Let's hope AF doesn't visit this weekend!!

ddegville · 11/07/2017 22:40

So i'm now 10 dpo and i can't wait any longer to take a test! Going to take it first thing in the morning. Boobs are killing me so here's hoping (fingers crossed)!

:)

Hi everyone, can I join?! Cycle 1 for me. Had peak smiley face Clearblue OPK yesterday which I thought was awfully considerate, so patting myself on the back for weekend ovulation 🤗. We've managed to DtD Fri, Sat, today and have plans for tomorrow (just need to let DH know 😂). So that sits me firmly in my first 2WW, which is already making me crazy!

Hoping some of that baby dust rubs off on me!

HolyShmoly · 09/07/2017 18:34

Clue app is calling this as my fertile period, but no ewcm yet. Based on Clue last month this appeared on the second last day of my fertile window last month. Is this normal?

I'm definitely overthinking and getting ahead of myself, as usual. I've just been looking at our local hospitals and trying to figure out which I'd be going to, the one in my NHS trust is slightly further away. Although we are very, very lucky in that both have really good birthing centres as part of their maternity units and are both less than 20 minutes away. But I probably should concentrate on making the baby before worrying about how I'm going to get it out!

@ddegville heres the nhs advice on cooked soft cheese if you do get a BFP! :) -

LovePinaColada · 07/07/2017 14:59

First timer here! So inspiring to see all the BFP's throughout this thread.

Sending baby dust to everyone!

ddegville · 07/07/2017 14:27

I'm now 6dpo (calculated from an app). I've had sore nipples for the last 3 days. Thought I was too early for symptoms i assumed it was my mind playing tricks on me. But woken up this morning to very slight pains just like AF pains which i never get this far away from my the date AF is due. So fingers crossed!

Also after some advice on eating brie. Do you eat it whilst TTC? I ask as i have a wedding on 28th for which my meal choice is leek and brie pie. I can't change it now so unsure what to do. Also I'll know if I'm BFP by then hopefully. If I find I am, should i definitely not eat It? It's heated up so does that make a difference?

Much love!!

Charchar23 · 07/07/2017 12:21

So an update!
So last night and today Iv had a tender tummy and feeling queasy, i been putting it down to some anxiety I been feeling lately. However, just went to the loo and wiped and there was like a pinky red on the tissue, not a lot either, nothing was in my underwear! (Sorry tmi)
I guess it's now a case of seeing if AF properly shows her face or not!

FrowningFlamingo · 06/07/2017 20:24

Oh, I posted and it disappeared...
5 days until AF here. I don't feel even a tiny bit pregnant so I'll be surprised if I have a BFP this month.
tea I'm pretty sure spitting doesn't count as CD and it's from full flow onwards but I could be wrong.

teaandshortbread · 06/07/2017 17:51

@char if you ov'd late it might still be a little early to test?

I have had more spotting today so maybe that's just how AF is going to b this month. It's weird and still brown and clumpy :( just to put you all off your tea lol Grin

Assuming this is AF, would I count the first day of spotting as cd1? Can't wait for it to be over

Charchar23 · 06/07/2017 15:17

@Shanners123
Well I'm not 100% sure this month when my fertility window was, as usually I get a day of EWCM which I know is my ovulation day, however this month, Iv had EWCM more than once and for a longer duration!

Shanners123 · 06/07/2017 14:58

Welcome @funnygirl Smile What's the Glow app like? Feel like I'm collecting apps atm.. Got 4 but that's a new one. Is it good?

@charchar did the 28th fall within your fertility window?
