TTC #1, Cycle 1. Anyone In?

955 replies

jemimafuddleduck · 03/02/2018 22:27

Hi all,
Longtime lurker, occasional commenter, rare poster here.
DH and I decided to start to TTC after much deliberation recently.
I've been on the pill for 16 years and haven't had a natural period in that time! Had my withdrawal bleed which started on 15th Jan and think I may have ovulated on Thursday 2nd Feb. I was doing OPKs (I know - first cycle, but if I'm going to do it, I'm going all in!) and got an almost-positive then - didn't have any more OPKs with me to test slightly later in the day.
DTD numerous times in what I'm estimating is my fertile week (working on the basis that my cycle is 28 days but don't really know at the moment).
So now the waiting begins.
Anyone in the same position or want to join?
Advice and your stories welcomed!

Thank you all for your kinds words for my BFP

emdoc · 19/04/2018 15:43

I worked a night shift and in my sleep deprived state caved and ordered a cute babygro with DH’s favourite team to have to surprise him for if/when I do get a BFP! I’m not very superstitious but I do feel a bit worried that it was bad luck to do so however 🙄

@orangekitkat13 I feel exactly the same way! I think it will be excitement and then immediate panic hahaha. I keep telling myself that 9 months is a good amount of time for us to come to terms with it!

emdoc · 19/04/2018 15:39

@SunshineSparklesSmiles so exciting!! Congratulations!!

@Flapjackered welcome!

@jemimafuddleduck hopefully something starts to show even more tomorrow! Are you 11 dpo today? Are you trying to stick to cheapies or are you gonna do a FRER? Heheh

@Rmad6716 yes that's the one I could see a faint line on too - but not in real life, only on the photo?!

Thanks all for your support!
@orangekitkat13 well done for holding out and good luck for tomorrow! Let us know!

I took two tests this morning, one I can't see anything on but one I can see the tiniest faint shadow... I inverted them and again can see a tiny line. I couldn't see anything in real life though and I think I'm just imagining things...

@Mipha @WaitingForThatBFP glad I'm not the only one!

@SunshineSparklesSmiles congratulations!! So pleased for you!

@jemimafuddleduck I wondered if you might cave, I nearly did this morning but holding out for tomorrow! Sorry for BFN, your not out till AF shows!

Leonora94 · 19/04/2018 12:25

@FlapJackered Welcome! I love reading BFPs too and decoding pregnancy tests its become my new obsession lol

howiseverynametaken · 19/04/2018 11:30

@SunshineSparklesSmiles congratulations!! I want to test now but I'm only 6DPO...must hold out until next week! @jemimafuddleduck you are definitely not out until AF arrives...stay positive!

FlapJackered · 19/04/2018 10:58

Am I too late to join this thread? AF due imminently then will be TTC #1!
I have horribly long cycles and a subclinical thyroid problem, so may be here for a while!
I love reading all the BFPs!

Rmad6716 · 19/04/2018 10:51

Congratulations @SunshineSparklesSmiles ! .

Don't lose hope @jemimafuddleduck ! So many people have said that sometimes implantation doesn't even happen till 12DPO and then sometimes a test doesn't show BFP till way after AF missed 🤞🏼😊. Rooting for you!

I'm in what I think is my 2WW🙄CD 47! I ov'd on 12th-13th (I think) - had a positive LH test on 11th AM. I don't feel that strange😒. Sore nipples and sorry if TMI but they are constantly hard 🤣(much to DH delight🙊😂). A bit of a dull ache too. This morning having funny cramps like AF is getting ready to come but I think it's a bit early for it so I'm going to not try and get carried away with the idea of it being implantation. I'm going to try and not go mad and test too early too! 😣🙊

Leonora94 · 19/04/2018 09:16

@jemimafuddleduck your not out till AF arrives try not over think it (impossible I know) sending positive vibes!

Leonora94 · 19/04/2018 09:15

@SunshineSparklesSmiles Congratulations, what a clear line! eeeek so exciting!

Well I caved and tested this morning and I'm pretty certain it's a BFN 😭 I'm only 10dpo so I know I'm not completely out yet, but I've been having lots of cramps and I really thought this would be my month 😭😭

@WaitingForThatBFP Thank you so much; I can hardly believe it!

WaitingForThatBFP · 19/04/2018 06:42

@SunshineSparklesSmiles OMD what a great line!! Congratulations! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

SunshineSparklesSmiles · 19/04/2018 06:26

Hi folks, I hope you are all well. I got this result yesterday morning at 10dpo, AF is due this coming Monday. Sending baby dust to you all xx

Mipha · 18/04/2018 18:58

@sailorcherrie and @emdoc thanks for the PMA! Had a bit of pinkish-ness when I went for a wee earlier and have been having proper cramps. Damn af. It was a 2-pack so if af isn’t here properly by tomorrow I might use the other one, otherwise it will do for next month!
@orangekitkat13 I feel this way also. In fact before I tested yesterday I was a bit like ‘would a bfp totally freak me out?’ And I think it will when it happens, even though I want it so much!!

WaitingForThatBFP · 18/04/2018 15:43

@orangekitkat13 I’m with you!! I so want a baby but then there’s days when I’m having a little down day and think how am I gonna deal with a baby.. but then I spend some time babysitting my nephew and I’m like ok I can do this😂😂
It is terrifying though as I can give him back to his mum my own I won’t be able to do that 😂😂😬

orangekitkat13 · 18/04/2018 11:30

I had a little emotional break down in the middle of the night last night. DH came home late and let me know I'd left the oven on for hours! This caused a panic in my head, if I can't even remember to turn the oven off how the hell am I going to keep a baby alive! DH was very sweet though.
I know I want kids but any one else also slightly terrified about it too?
I think when we get a BFP the first few minutes will be excitement, the next panic! 😂
