First time TTC

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

Congratulations mrstobe!!
Well I was pretty positive over the weekend and start of the week that I was preggers due to my very strange symptoms of feeling very full, lots of wind, bloating and funny side pains. Tomorrow AF is due and this morning I woke up with less of the above and have now developed a stonking headache that is usually a sign of AF arriving ☹️.
I was sure I would test tomorrow morning but now I'm a little scared to! If AF doesn't turn up tomorrow (fingers crossed), il do it Friday as I'm at a wedding at the weekend and if I don't get my bfp, il definitely be having a drink!!

Congrats msstrobe !

5 days to go and getting nervous... OH playfully spanked me yesterday and I burst into tears! Got to be a sign of something Grin

mummyg fingers crossed!!

MummyGofboys · 14/06/2017 11:09

Yeah @AdrianaWeatherwax there are always positives. Bring on July and get on your man now 😂😂

AdrianaWeatherwax · 14/06/2017 10:24

No news is still good news MummyG ...

And at least if AF comes today your cycle is bang on I guess 😕

AdrianaWeatherwax · 14/06/2017 10:22

Bring on July!

Got EWCM today so seems like a good day to BD.

MummyGofboys · 14/06/2017 09:27

Just waiting for Af to read her ugly head. I will be missing this cycle with hubby being away so can try end of July. So hopefully that's our month. Will be on him every second day 😂😂 xx

McTufty · 14/06/2017 09:21

Oh I'm sorry to hear that mummyg. That's really strange and frustrating. July will be our month!

MummyGofboys · 14/06/2017 09:20

Negative test 😢😢 no period xx

MummyGofboys · 14/06/2017 07:02

Period due today. Normally wake up with it. Nothing there but very crampy. Feeling shit. Please don't come 😩😩😩

FrowningFlamingo · 13/06/2017 23:45

Congratulations Mrstobe! That's fantastic news :) hopefully it's a good omen for the rest of us!

I tried to be sensible and prioritise my smear but they didn't have any appointments before I go on holiday so I've gone for the waxing instead. Fun times!!
At least I'll be less of a Hairy Mary for DTD on holiday Blush - should be away for my fertile window so we could make a holiday baby, keeping my fingers crossed!

DH uses Q10 shave gel - not sure that will do much use though Grin

Oh girls wouldn't it be so lovely if we all got our bfps this cycle 🤔🤔

AdrianaWeatherwax · 13/06/2017 22:41

Aaaah congratulations Mrstobe!! That is wonderful news :-) yes, please stick around! Smile

McTufty I hear the Q10 is the most important (makes me think of hair adverts?) if any of it will work for us 😂

MummyGofboys · 13/06/2017 22:39

Thanks guys!! I'm in total shock!
I just couldn't wait anymore and wanted to POAS so bought a Clearblue digital and it says I'm 1-2 weeks. Super early days and I'm not gonna lie, I am quite nervous that it won't stick but I'm hoping for the best :)
I feel so thankful that it happened on the first try.
I did legs up after each try and then lay down for about an hour and day before ovulation, we did it twice.
Hoping you get your BFP's and hope they all stick!!!!
