First time TTC

Mrsjones17 I am using Ovia, well as much as I can. There is alot to put into it, but I guess the more data the better accuracy of what the algorithms give back to you. I haven't done the cervix bit though. I have used OPKs as well and my predicted window prior to using them was about a week out. So we will see what happens for the next month.

That's interesting sausage!
None of this pregnancy lark sounds much fun. Perhaps I need to reconsider!!

I tried ovia but found it too confusing. I could never figure out the cervix thing and I don't do bbt. I use clue app just to give a rough idea of fertility window. I'm now definitely out this cycle AF turns up in full force today. Onto next cycle I guess.

Actually the first symptom for me is often a headcold and sore throat. From about 2-3 wks. Your immune system suddenly tanks when you get oregnant do colds etc tend to come out.

For some reason I've looked at a few very practical baby things but not the fun stuff like nursery designs (we probably won't have one as we plan to move house in the next few months so theoretical baby would be in with us until we move anyway). I think I'm more trying to cost things up than properly looking though really.
Today's likely irrelevant 'symptoms' are that I had to get up early because I felt so sick - but I feel congested and have a sore throat so I maybe coming down with something. I cried about the London attack which is really, really unlike me - but I went to uni at London Bridge, DH works there and it's our most common route into London, we often go out there and were there Friday night at the same time as the attack took place last night. It's very much my stomping ground so feels a lot closer to home than other attacks which might be why I'm so upset about it. Ongoing cramps so maybe the tearfulness is early AF too. I'm due next Sunday so we'll see!!

My stomach started turning around when I was 4 weeks. Very bad sickness kicked in at 5.5 weeks.

How soon did you start to notice you were feeling ill? I would love a honeymoon baby!

I am also consciously not looking at baby stuff as I don't want to jinx it.

I just downloaded ovia, does anyone have it? It wants me to put in my cervix position and if it's open How am I meant to know?!

We we lucky to conceive a honeymoon baby and oh my god am I glad we didn't conceive the month before the wedding as I am so ill with my pregnancies, the wedding would have been a disaster!

@Mrstobe90 I had to work on him for a while before he said yes and we came to a compromise 😂😂 eeeek first baby how wonderful. It's so exciting all the firsts you will have 😍 yeah they are extremely cute but can be little monsters. Glad there will be a bigger age gap this time round. Noah starts school in August and Ruaridh starts pre school then too so ideal time for a new baby. When do you get married? Xx

@Mrstobe90 I can test the 13th, so the same week as you. How exciting. I know it can be devastating if you get a negative test. Yes, Instagram is my best friend for looking at baby stuff 😂😂 my boys are 4 and 3 so we have gotten rid of all of our baby stuff so it's like starting from the beginning. Hubby isn't keen on having another baby but will because I want another really badly so he rolls his eyes any time I talk about it 😂😂 xx

@mrstobe90 yes my mum in exactly the same situation. Fell straight away with me and my sister but she was younger than me and didn't have to think about giving up a career. She is very supportive though bless her. She is the only one that knows other than my husband that we are trying. My husband is the eternal optimist and is so laid back which does come in handy when i am wound up! To be honest I think he is secretly enjoying not catching as it means we have to keep trying haha!

Mrstobe90 Oh fingers crossed we don't need to wait for another cycle. It's very exciting isn't it. When can you test? It is hard to relax about it and not have it on your mind 24/7 xx

Third

Ahhh yeah far too many acronyms 😂😂 still having cramping but more on my right side today and so tired. I'm on day 16 and in early leuteal phase. I always got pregnant straight after coming off the pill. This is my second third cycle after coming off this time so we shall see xx

Oh and if one more person tells me I have to relax I think I may punch them!! It's impossible to! Haha! It is almost as bad as when my friend used to moan how much she missed her husband when we worked away one weekend a month while mine was in the middle of a 5 month deployment abroad! Agh!!!

When we first started trying I was convinced we would catch straight away...after all everyone rammed down my throat 'you can get pregnant after just one time after just one missed pill after being sick after anti biotics etc etc' the the past 12 years while I was on the pill. I was so careful for so long! Ive been off the pill for 2 years now and Now we're in a position where we actually want to get pregnant it's proving rather difficult!! 🙄🙄 It's so hard not to become obsessed by it and over analyse everything. There is way too much advice out there and knowing what to do for the best is tough. I feel like I'm 'doing all the right things' and it's not happened yet. I don't smoke I only drink rarely I exercise I eat well and have a lot of sex! Where am I going wrong haha!

LovelyOther, your DH positivity is fabulous! I must goggle this pre seed..........

Two week wait or two week window. Soooooo many acronyms I only know a few!

Hi everyone.
I'm 33 and ttc #1 and on my first cycle. According to ovia I'm on my last few days of my fertile week. Eeek! Just been trying to dtd nearly every day (well at least every other!) for this past week and a half.

Just been sticking to vit d and folic acid as tried seven seas 'trying for a baby' in preparation before actively ttc and it sent my 'like clockwork' cycle completely haywire! It's much more settled now and I have seen on the forums that seven seas has done this to a few people and that GP's have recommended them not to be taken in this instance

I've tries OPK on and off but I can't seem to get a positive- I'm not able to do it at work so tend to test around 5-6pm most days and I know you can miss the short space of time when lh is detected but seen as though it's only our first cycle I'm trying to to get too hung up on these.
I'm also using pre seed lubrication which seems to have had some excellent results as per reviews so I thought it was worth a try.

Good luck everyone!! Ps my DH thinks he will get me pregnant straight away!! No worries he says 😂😂 I keep trying to tell him it is unlikely but he won't have it!! DH's are funny!!

MissyEm hi, I'm dying to test lol but that would just be crazy 😂😂 11 days to go. what does TWW stand for? I may just be being thick lol xx
