TTC First Month

Hi all! I’m new to this app - my husband and I have been married for a year now (I’m 22 and he’s 24) and we’re in the process of buying our first house. We’re so ready to have children - my body is telling me constantly that it wants Kids, I know I sound crazy lol but I want nothing more than to have them. I stopped taking the pill in August and had my first period on the 8th October - this is our first month TTC. Everyone we speak to is telling us that we’re too young and aren’t ready (which really infuriates me!) but it means we can’t speak to anyone about it.... so I thought maybe I’d post on here and see if anyone is in the same boat? I’m currently on the 1ww but I just don’t think it’s going to happen this month... I’ve been taking folic acid everyday but never knew until TTC that it can be a really long process!

Is anyone in the same boat/have any tips? Sorry for the long paragraph!! X

@PickettBowtruckles Oh god yes! We need to relax, and a night out will help with that. I’m the same no AF another BFN again this morning... I can hand on heart say I’ve never wished for AF’s appearance more than now, and that’s for both of us!!
@kjhh i’m taking the seven seas folic acid as well as evening primrose oil (because I bought it for the dog, who won’t entertain them, and apparently, I’ve read somewhere, they’re helpful). Ahhh atleast AF hasn’t deserted us all! 😂 bloody stressful this business. I’m praying for twins xx

@NelleB @PickettBowtruckles I had a drink over the weekend and actually didn’t regret it one bit, I knew this wouldn’t be my month so it felt nice to just relax a bit! I deffo understand, all the girls at work are pregnant and so excited and it really makes me feel like crap! Just wiped and (sorry for tmi) but AF is 10000% starting today... I’m kinda relieved cus I can start again but I’m super upset too :( I will say loads of people have recommended pregnacare which I am tempted to take! I’m just taking folic acid atm and trying to eat healthier just so I feel like I’m physically doing something xx

@NelleB the rage is real!! I'm STILL not on and still no signs. I've got a night out planned this weekend with some friends where drink will be involved so going to test again Saturday morning if AF hasn't come, and if it's still negative (it will be) going to drown my sorrows for a night!

@kjhh had an okay weekend except for when I cried when I heard my cousin is pregnant Bought some conception vitamins today I'm going to start taking. I know they don't help actually getting pregnant but feel like I need to do something to encourage myself. Getting really annoyed with no AF and no BFP right now. I swore I wouldn't be that person that gets obsessive and it's month one and I am! 🙈 How're things going for you?

@LostMyBaubles welcome to the thread!

@LostMyBaubles hi! I’m so jealous of you 😂😂 I’d love to be in that position - my mum had me at 22 and I LOVE the fact that I have a young mum, I want the same for my kids. DIY programmes are so underrated!!

@NelleB tell me about it 😩 it’s torture, I feel like that stresses me out more!

NelleB · 06/11/2017 15:09

@kjhh above... bloody phone x

NelleB · 06/11/2017 15:08

@pickettbowtruckles I have lost it completely. I’ve bought a thermometer and a chart... as well as the ovulation sticks. I’m in the same boat as you. I feel like the gods are laughing at us, no AF but no BFP. RAGE!

LostMyBaubles · 06/11/2017 15:07

And AF is nearly finishing so we will be on cycle 1 of ttc

LostMyBaubles · 06/11/2017 15:06

Hiii

Please don't worry about these people telling you you're too young!

I'm 25 and ttc our 4TH!
I have 3 amazing boys.
We would like 1 more and then stop.
We wanted kids young so we have more time with them and are generally more able to run aroumf after them.
(Mum had her last at 43 and struggled a lot)

Ps love myself a good diy programme!

@PickettBowtruckles @NelleB hi ladies 😩 so I tried to relax over the weekend and I’m trying to not put too much pressure on myself... could have sworn AF was coming last night, due on today, and nothing! Now I’m even more irritated because I know I’m not pregnant and just want another month to start trying asap! How’re you both getting on? X

PickettBowtruckles · 05/11/2017 14:15

@kjhh it's strange how upsetting it is even when you know you're not isn't it!

I def can't let myself get too hung up on it though as was beginning to feel tearful yesterday which was mad!

@NelleB sorry to hear it's a BFN for you as well but fingers crossed for your Christmas prediction!

NelleB · 05/11/2017 11:40

@kjhh I hope you’re ok! I tested again this morning (BFN) as AF hasn’t arrived... hopefully we’ll all get an extra Christmas present 👶🏻🎄🎁

@PickettBowtruckles @NelleB I know exactly how you feel 😩 I just tested again even though I knew it would be a BFN... and I’m actually really sad. Like you said it’s only the first month though, the good thing is it’s fun trying so we’ve got all that again in a couple of weeks ;) I’m just gonna chill out and try to enjoy myself, I think I’ll cry if I think about it too much 😩 xx

PickettBowtruckles · 04/11/2017 20:18

So I was disappointed but expected with the BFN this morning, but this evening I've properly got the strop on about it. I didn't expect anything different but now feel really gutted?! I know it's nothing and it's only the first month we've tried and tested so really nothing to be upset over compared to people who have been trying much longer but feel really disheartened now.

PickettBowtruckles · 04/11/2017 13:15

C'mon girls, positive vibes for us all that we'll get what we want soon! ❤️

NelleB · 04/11/2017 10:46

@kjhh I am wish the next 2 weeks away! November will be our month x

@NelleB @PickettBowtruckles same here girls 😩 don’t think this is my month at all, just want AF so we can try again! X

OP posts:
PickettBowtruckles · 04/11/2017 07:22

Yes I got up at 7am on a Saturday to test...

BFN. As expected but still annoying! No signs of my period either though which is annoying, I just want something to happen so we can move on from cycle 1 and try again!

NelleB · 03/11/2017 18:36

Correction BFN... wishful typo x

PickettBowtruckles · 03/11/2017 18:36

I bought a 5 pack of cheapy tests and a 2 pack of first response from amazon. Haven't used any yet (no idea how!) but will take the first cheapy one in the morning. I'm sure it'll be negative and I'll be spending the rest of the time until my period comes trying desperately not to take the remaining 6 🙈

NelleB · 03/11/2017 18:35

BFP... on to planning the cycle 3! 😍 hope everyone’s had better results! X

@PickettBowtruckles I know the feeling - I’ve been testing every morning, keep getting BFNs as well but it’s like there’s that super small percentage hoping I am!

@lunabear1 good luck to you! Xx

I'm 24 and DH is 33 and we have been married since December 16. We're trying as well. When you know, you know. Don't let people tell you you're too young! xx

PickettBowtruckles · 03/11/2017 18:06

I was def not a fan of the pregnancy dream when I realised it wasn't real 🙈

Annoyed today as well as I logged into my Ovia app and I should've done a pregnancy test today as my period is 'due'. I'm 99.99% sure I'm not and it's just my first period due since contraceptive stopped and it's just my body getting used to it but I'm still holding out that 0.01% chance I might be and now I have to wait until the morning to test when I could've this morning! Arrrrgg. It's annoying 'cause I know it'll be a negative but I need to see that to move on from this month! Is it okay to go to bed early so that the morning comes round quicker? 😂

@PickettBowtruckles omg 😂 I had one a couple of nights ago where my mom held my baby first and it broke my heart 😂 wishful thinking that I was even in labour lol x

PickettBowtruckles · 02/11/2017 20:11

Just thought I'd come back to the thread to say after commenting on this last night I had my first pregnancy dream. In the dream I didn't know I was pregnant but went into labour and had a lovely chunky baby, then my friend and another friend who moved abroad years ago came to take my baby and I gave them a stern talking to about how it's not acceptable to kidnap my child...

Weird dream. Woke up a bit sad that my chubby baby wasn't real though 😂
