First time TTC

I'm not sure that I could cope with a pregnant sims haha! It's bad enough that we are the last ones out of our friendship group that haven't had a baby yet and the constant oohh are you trying yet?! I feel as soon as I got married my womb was suddenly the topic of conversation! 🙄

That's made me chuckle mrs :) do they still get morning sickness like in the original??

Hi MummyGofboys,

Welcome. The countdown is on ! so tempted to test early........5 days to go.

@Mrstobe90 @MrsC080815 thanks so much both, feeling a bit brighter! Disappointed to be missing the lovely weather today. Looking forward to the end of AF too so I can start on cycle 2!

Can I join in on this thread? I'm 29 been married for two years and TTC number 1. We had been trying for around 6months but then my husband had to work away for 5 (military) and now back on it! At first couldnt help feeling perhaps it was fare that I didn't catch with him going away but now I'm starting to feel like it's just not that easy! I've had a weird month. Thought we had DTD at the right time. Then sorry if tmi but had a very light in and off spotting/bleeding for past 5 days. Thought it must have been too long for implantation bleeding?! AF was due yesterday had cramping but still this weird light bleeding...took a test yesterday and BFN. If I am right about ovulation I should be 14 dpo today. If I had caught surely it would have shown by now?! I have no idea. Keep getting my hopes up thinking that full AF hasn't taken hold but I feel like it's only a matter of time!

Ha! I'm kind of into that stuff too even though it's probably rubbish, been carrying around a moonstone for the last few weeks😆
Can't hurt I guess!

I've told a close friend (I don't really have a best friend :/). I couldn't tell my mum, she's so keen to have a grandchild that the pressure would be immense. And she'd keep looking at me in a sickly, smiley, excited way that would get on my nerves to be honest!
Having said I'm not going to symptom spot, this morning I've had horrible abdo pain just like a couple of days before AF, I hope it's somethung more exciting than AF as I'm not due for at least another week so it would mean my cycle has gone way off piste!

Hi everyone! this is my first time posting too but just wondered if anyone has been in the same situation as me. I'm 31 and trying for my first baby, I came off the pill at the end of March after a looooong time (about 16 years). I got a period at the end of April and a couple of weeks after that seemed to have all the symptoms of ovulation so we got down to it (a lot). I was expecting my period around the 28th of May but it hasn't appeared, I took a pregnancy test on the 30th (first thing in the morning) but it was negative. So still no period and tbh I don't really feel any different (which surely I would if there was a human growing inside me!) so I don't think I am pregnant, could it just be that my periods will take a while to settle down again is this normal (even thought I got one at the end of April)? I guess I should just wait and see if I get a period at the end of June?
Thanks!🙂

Hi ladies. Is it ok if I join in? I'm 29 and ttc #3. I'm on day 15 of a normally 26 day cycle. I think I am Day two after ovulation. Having cramping and spotting. I'm due to test in 12 days according to the ovia app. How exciting xx

MrsC080815 and Magpie24 that's a good about regarding alcohol, I thought the same about caffeine too. Not that I have much or either but have switched to caffeine free if it is going to help make it stick one day.

A friend and I have shared our joint TTC news, I hope we both have the joy as it will be hard and really sad to show happiness if one of us is struggling.

Not at all. I feel the same. I know if we told anyone else I'd feel immense pressure, would be even more awful then if it takes ages or we can't for whatever reason!

I haven't told anyone because I'm so scared I won't be able to conceive and don't want people to know I am struggling as I will feel under more pressure! I have no reason to think I will have fertility problems but it terrifies me... is it just me?

Evening ladies 😊 just catching up! I am definitely baby obsessed at the moment, but as you say, think it's the excitement of ttc. Have been having cuddles with my 2 month old nephew this week which hasn't helped!! I am trying to make my not drinking not look suspicious, BIL was quizzing me for not drinking last weekend, although I've never been a big drinker!

It's lovely to share with you all. Have any of you think of any family/ friends that you're ttc?

Ijustgothit good luck with your exams!

Magpie hope your chest is ok - poor thing!

He also said no alcohol when TTC (but this is less of a concern for me because I don't drink).

So many 'signs' could be AF or OV is a tough one. I am due to test in a week, nervous and excited but trying not to think too positively so that I am not disappointed. I will do a few OPKs as well this month to try and track it a bit better.

Hi all, had some interesting advice from my doctor today which I thought I would share. Am on antibiotics for a chest problem and I asked if it was ok to take this and any other medicine while TTC. He said to avoid all medicine while TTC (except the antibiotics I'm prescribed and also paracetemol is ok). I take loperamide for IBS and he said on balance it was best not to take it, just in case I get pregnant! Does sound quite cautious...

I don't know Mrstobe but it could well be - dtd just in case

When is everyone due to test or whatever to find out if pregnant? Is POAS the term? I'm new to this!

I have no idea as am just off the pill so no idea of cycle yet. I took my last pill on 18 May so just waiting for breakthrough bleed I suppose, which could be anytime.
