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

mummyg oh bless him, I hope he's ok and on the mend!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 07:44

Haha! Earthquake made me laugh, Fairy yeah mine's a bit like that too. At least this morning it decided to calculate O as Monday! Compared with others and it seems normal. Less worried now.

fefifoefum Snap! I'm due on the same day.
No news from blood tests yet so hoping that's a good sign.

Anyone else finding their basal temp is all over the place? Mine looks like one of those earthquake graphs...

MummyGofboys · 21/06/2017 21:34

@AdrianaWeatherwax haha yes we did 😂😂

@McTufty eeek that's exciting. I have everything crossed. I'm spending the night in the children's ward with my wee one as he has had his tonsils out and there is no air con. It's sweltering 😡😡

McTufty · 21/06/2017 20:47

My nipples are agony and have been for a couple of days!

mummyg I reckon I ovulated yesterday or today (I thought yesterday but now I'm not so sure as still got EWCM!) so ideally I'll test next weekend, but knowing me I'll be straight at it next Tuesday because I'm an idiot!

adriana lol I know! I need a crazy friend to dream a baby into my belly too!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 19:38

Also want to take a second to remember that MrsToBe's pal correctly predicted her pregnancy in a dream and we all thought she was barmy 😂

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 19:32

It's very easy to wish time away! Can't believe it's near the end of June already. Madness.

FrowningFlamingo · 21/06/2017 18:23

Thank God we've got a fan Grin
Time goes so slowly at the beginning of a cycle! We are only just wishing the FW and I'm wishing the weeks away to testing time! I'm so impatient :/

Mrsjones17 · 21/06/2017 16:10

O day for me too. We managed sat and sun then Monday was a no go cos of the heat. Need to try tonight at least! Fans at the ready!!!

MummyGofboys · 21/06/2017 15:14

Oh girls being on the BFPs. When is everyone due to test? It's so hard not to over think symptoms. I peed a fortune away with tests this month 😂😂 xx

Firework83 · 21/06/2017 14:24

@Magpie24 I have incredibly sore and very firm (about to explode) boobs but I cant remember whether they usually get this bad or not so trying not to overthink it.

Magpie24 · 21/06/2017 13:03

@Firework83 I'm on cycle 2 and had more symptoms on cycle 1 where I turned out to be not pregnant! Have sore nipples but could be just raised progesterone (I think) before a period. Hard to say!

Firework83 · 21/06/2017 11:33

Haha @MuffinHB that's very true. Every cloud...

Ooooo @Magpie24 snap. I'm 7 days out too according to Ovia. I think my mind is playing tricks with me with symptoms... do you have any? I'm assuming it won't happen first time so i don't get my hopes up (she says).

Magpie24 · 21/06/2017 11:25

Hi ladies. I'm with you on not really fancying DTD in this weather!!

Some interesting twinges today... Ovia app says 7 days until pregnant test! Not too long to go now.

MuffinHB · 21/06/2017 10:36

Oh @Adrianaweatherwax! It's my first month so I think I may overthink this one completely...

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 10:23

If you knew how much money I pissed away POAS in the early cycles Muffin 😂

MuffinHB · 21/06/2017 09:55

@Adrianaweatherwax - waiting a whole week? Wow, you're going to be so patient. I usually have such regular cycles that I am going to go a bit mad if I wait that long!

@Firework83 at least Glasto will be cheaper if you're sober!

@Frowningflamingo and @mctufty well done. Conception during a heat wave - that'll be a tale to remember!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 20/06/2017 21:58

Doubt I'll hold out McTufty 😂 and so very impressed with your and Flamingo's sauna-shag! That would have been the most amazing post-sex shower too Grin

McTufty · 20/06/2017 21:17

I know flamingo. I think it's my O day so we had to even though it's sweltering and we are both knackered. It was hard going but we got there in the end Grin
Those swimmers better bloody do their job!

FrowningFlamingo · 20/06/2017 20:48

Exciting times! Today is a DTD day for us and it's TOO. BLOODY. HOT.
melts

McTufty · 20/06/2017 19:10

Oooh exciting everyone!

adriana if you manage to wait till AF is a week late (and I'm not saying you won't), then you are a better woman than me! I'm already working out the earliest I can realistically test Grin

fefi everything crossed for a double celebration!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 20/06/2017 17:53

Ooh, not long for all of us now, ladies. Especially for you Fefi! I was in that predicament in January - may you have better luck.

Good idea Muffin, I'm going to try not test till AF is a whole week late. (Optimistic...) Good point about the Google ban, that goes out the window 😂

I think so Missy Smile or it's the fortnight before AF is due?

Whoa is it Glasto time already? Madness.

Mrsjones17 · 20/06/2017 17:12

@muffinhb I'm due same day as you so see what happens. I'm in cycle 7 now...

Fefifoefum · 20/06/2017 16:50

My AF is due on the 27th... 6 days eek! Although I'm not getting my hopes up, I also have a job interview on the 26th. Could be the worse/best week ever dependant on results!

Firework83 · 20/06/2017 16:38

@MuffinHB I know how you feel but you can't help yourself and yes it's so annoying that you don't know whether it's normal symptoms or something different. Trying to keep myself distracted as possible helps. Party tomorrow night and Glastonbury this weekend! I hope being sober for both isn't wasted haha.
