TTC #1, Cycle 1. Anyone In?

I took a test yesterday too jemimafuddleduck and mine was also negative but my ovia app says not to test until another 4 days so not sure if I might of tested too early? I have been having some symptoms, last couple of days my nipples have been tender, had cramps, headaches but not sure if it's symptoms from coming off the pill or if my body is preparing for AF? confused.com lol

Hi! Can I join? I’m a long time lurker, this is my first post.
My DH and I started ttc #1 last summer. However, my wonderful dad died very suddenly in October so we’ve been having a break.
Started really trying again in January (using Ovia and tracking CM). My period is currently 2 days late (unusual for me)! I’m too scared to take a test!😬. I’ve told myself I’ll wait till Monday - don’t know why though! Think I’m scared of a BFN!

Hello, am new to the forum (mumsnet in general...excuse me if i'm not down with all the acronyms...find them a bit bewildering!). after sort of hedging around it for a few years, partner and I decided to start trying/stop using contraception at Christmas - got my period almost immediately day after new year's, so that was cycle no. 1. No joy then, though wasn't really expecting it, so now onto cycle no. 2.

Am almost 33, and have both PCOS and endo (certainly cysts, though haven't had a lap, only ultrasound, so not sure of the extent of any other growth), which really affect my cycles (sometimes as long as 80 days), but they've been quite regular recently (which was part of the impetus for trying) so fingers crossed we might get lucky. We're sort of just seeing how it goes. I've not been on hormonal contraception for years, so we just stopped using condoms and are going to see what happens for a few months...

Hi all! I'm now on CD17 and starting the TWW! 🤞

This was my first cycle TTC and I used OPKs and got a positive late on CD14 and early morning on CD15. Tracked my temperature too this month and saw a rise on CD15 so I'm guessing I ovulated this day.

Bit of a personal question but can I ask on what days during your fertile week you DTD?

Good luck to you all this month
Xoxo

@jemimafuddleduck understandable, I'm certainly having to force myself not too. Don't lose heart tho, as you said very early so doesn't necessarily mean that your out this month.

I'm going crazy as only on day 3 of my cycle, still AF, but just after implant removal.. really really hoping my cycle goes back to usual straight away and I ovulate on time, but I'm super impatient!!

I'm getting impatient to! Plus lots of symptom spotting! Tired, Back ache etc. I'm going to force myself to wait and try not to get my hopes up but proving hard.

Ladies I need your advice I'm being impatient again lol but I'm meant to have my period on 15th Feb do you think I would get a bfp if I tested around the 11th or would that be too early?xx

Lol it is really hard to sit and wait, I know that feeling! Fingers crossed for us both 🤞

Hi unicorn234! I'm trying so hard not to get too fixed on it as it's literally been days for me, but it's so hard!! I'll try that app

Hi sammielouise this is my first month ttc too and I'm also obsessed 😂 I've been tracking my cycle using the ovia app which is really good but my cycles were always irregular before I went onto the pill. However I can't wait to test next week to see if I've got my BFP

Hi all!
Hope I'm ok to join in
I had my implant out on 30th jan after 9 Years (3 implants) and now TTC baby #1. Just started a light bleed today, so hoping it's my period getting back to normal, but scared after some of the stories where t took people ages to get back to normal cycle!
I'm already becoming a little obsessed with tracking my cycle and trying not to stress!!!
Looking forward to hearing everyone's stories and baby journey

Have no idea what to expect either, pretty sure that if my period doesn’t come then I’ll be testing on cycle day 28. Although maybe I should wait longer, it’s unlikely I’ll be lucky first cycle and might be more disappointing to get a BFN than just waiting for AF?

Hi all, I’m in the same boat. Stopped mini pill Jan 3rd, withdrawal bleed and then 1st period 29th Jan so this week should be fertile week if my cycles go back to 28 days! Been on contraception for 8 years so no idea.
Have also never checked CMucus before, I’m assuming egg white cm is a bit like -excuse the TMI- the stuff you get when you’re ‘in the mood’?!
Ttc #1
Cycle 1
30
Period due 26th feb maybe.

I'm gonna test on feb 14th because I'm a romantic! First cycle post mc so I have no idea when to test!

Thanks Mellisa I'll try that from now on.
I'm going to do a test on the 24th if no AF before that we've decided. According to the glow app AF is due on the 14th but I'm not going to rely on that as I haven't had a full cycle since removal of my implant. I've seen a lot of people mention that they had really long cycles for a few months after removal.

I will be waiting til AF is late (if it is late) although as this is my first month off the pill I am expecting my cycles to be all over the place so I'm.not sure when it is due. Ovia app is estimating 20th Feb based on 28 day cycles.

TMI reply to some regarding CM, but using fingers is much more accurate as a tissue will already soak up some of what you're looking for. Egg white consistency indicated ovulation is close.
