TTC First Month

How is everyone getting on

Kj and Lost Ok, thank God 😂

Amewjourney don't worry, it's part of parcel and all normal
Ttc out 4th and I feel the same way

Does anyone else feel nervous as well as excited or is that just me? I keep worrying that because I’m also scared about becoming a mum it means I’m not ready?

I’m SO excited but I’m also worried I won’t cope, it won’t be how I thought it would be etc.

Pickett I took an opk into The bathroom

Took a 'rain' check and was still passing a bit of blood lol
No point in using test today!

Anyone else want to POAS every day? Forcing myself to wait until Saturday, I have no symptoms and don't even think I am but every time I pee I think about taking a test 🙈

I think if anyone asks me I’m going to say something like “Wow! Do you always ask such personal questions?” and leave it at that. 😂

@anewjourney I have been thinking about this and when it happens how to tell my boss. I won’t be saying ‘sorry, I’m pregnant, it was a slip up!’ I will not be sorry about one of the best things that can happen for a couple, something I’ve waited so long for and stressed over/planned. Everyone should be allowed their special moment, planned/unplanned x

KJ I’ve thought about telling people it was an accident too, but then I think “Why should we?”. It’s our lives, we’re free to do as we choose and we’re not hurting anyone. I hate the stigma of being young/not having been with a partner for years if you want a baby

Thank you kj 💕
My other3 are July, Aug and Sept babies lol so hopefully our last one will follow the pattern and fit right in the middle somewhere lol

Ovia tells me 6 days until fertile window

That's good pickett

I was 17 when I fell pregnant with my first had him at 18 😀

I'm the youngest person in my team at work, but since I got married I've had quite a lot of people ask when I'm having a baby so I actually think work will be okay to tell! I'd just love to have something to tell them 😂

Thank you 😁
AF has gone fx this is our month

Can I join this thread please? 👋🏼

Web that’s such a nice post and so true.

I’m a bit anxious about how people from work are going to react and I’m already wondering how I’m going to answer the “Oh was it planned?!” comments.

Hi OP, I feel your pain! We are both early/mid twenties, and we feel the exact same way

We’ve been together 4 years, engaged to be married since the beginning of this year (haven’t set a date or even started planning) and in the last few months have started TTC because we just felt it was right for us. I fell pregnant a few months ago in September after our first month of trying, and unfortunately had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in the middle of October which was incredibly heartbreaking for both of us as I lead quite an active healthy lifestyle and felt devastated that I lost the baby.
We’ve been TTC since the bleeding stopped, but finding it incredibly hard as neither of us have anyone to speak to really apart from each other about our emotions and I totally understand how you feel. We are both quite terrified of judgment from people, my mum was incredibly supportive through the miscarriage as I felt I wouldn’t have handled it the way I had if I hadn’t told my mum and had her love and support through it along with my partners...but we are both scared of friends and family being incredibly judgemental if I fall pregnant again due to our age. We both have good jobs, with a good income and own our home. Neither of us are party animals and I would say we are very level headed mature adults. But still, I know there will be the odd friends and family members who will be quite shocked and will make comments such as “oh but you’re so young!” and “what about your job??” I would rather have kids sooner than later and put my career on hold as I have the rest of my life to give my time to my career. I have friends who had babies shortly after leaving high school...whilst we both studied our way through college and landed good jobs, we are both out of our “teen” years, so I don’t see how it couldn’t be a better time. I have found the person I love and want to spend my life with as I’m sure you have to, and what’s wrong with having a baby with them?! I can’t think of anything nicer!

The fact is, do what makes you happy, it’s your life! You don’t have to explain to anyone why you want a baby, or why you’ve fallen pregnant or why you’re trying to conceive. Don’t care about other people’s opinions, because I guarantee once that baby arrives everyone will fall in love and no one would dare make a negative comment! Age does not matter, it’s how YOU feel and when you feel ready! I have a lot of respect for the younger couples out there who have babies and can maintain jobs and a life, and I wish you all the best TTC** and hope you get what you wish for soon!!!

Lots of love xx

@kjhh I ended up getting the Superdrug conception vitamins, £2.99 for 30 and they're on buy one get one half price so pretty cheap!

@NelleB I'm on CD33 now as well, still no AF symptoms! So irritated. Waiting until Saturday to take another test though. Just want SOMETHING to happen! I'll keep hoping for either AF of BFP for us both so at least we can be happy or get ready to try again 🙈
