TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

@Trying1stBaby oh my god darling congratulations. Fingers crossed for a good result!! Xxx

Thanks ladies, literally haven't told anyone apart from you guys. I just prefer to talk anonymously and with ladies who will understand. IL keep you posted! Just trying to not get ahead of myself and take each day as it comes xxx

🤞🏻and a tentative congrats! It's impossible not to test when you know you could get a bfp isn't it.

@luckykitty13 and @hamandpeas thank you. I'm just trying to go on as normal and IL just have to keep testing for a week or so. IL of course keep you posted. Xxx

Congratulations @Trying1stBaby I've got everything crossed for you xx

@Trying1stBaby congratulations! I know it's a worrying time for you, and we've got everything crossed that it will be a sticky one.

Hey ladies... Please don't judge but I totally caved and did a test this morning and got a really faint line... I'm just so nervous... As soon as I saw the test I was so upset because it could the same way as last time. I just don't know how it all works... Because IV had one chemical will I have another?? 😥 In a way I wish I didn't know and I waited to see if AF would come this week.

@FlapJackered your nephew sounds lovely, hopefully yours won't be far behind x

@Delilah7 @rosesandponies I had exactly that today, looking after my nephew who is a year old and he was just so so cute. At one point he was so happy to see his Mum coming into view and my heart just broke as I so want that. 😩

I am now on cd43 and giving up the will to live with these bloody cycles! What's worse is I have been feeling sick for the last week and reading so much into it even though I have had bfn's and no real sign I have ovulated so it is highly unlikely. I just want to stop hoping now and have a fresh cycle to focus on, but AF just won't show her ugly face. I am in a 4 + week wait kind of purgatory!

Is anyone testing this week coming? We need a bfp on this thread!

@rosesandponies defo harder now me and OH have a 4 bed house when there's two of us! Makes me realise how much happier we would be if we could add a baby now too it. You know 'new house new baby' saying 😂😂

@delilah I know it really would. Someone you can chat to and understands everything. Xx

@Trying1stBaby same for you lovely! Would be so nice to have someone to fall pregnant with the same time to join me on this journey! Xx

@delilah I know IV had that too and it's like I'm doing everything I can hahaha! But it will happen soon and you will be an amazing mum! Xxx

@Trying1stBaby thanks lovely you've made me feel normal. Makes it worse as everyone says it suits you or you'll be a great mum haha xx

Sorry pre ATM means pregnant haha. Bloody phone 😉 xxx

@delilah that is so so natural. When I didn't want a baby I would really want one when I held a baby of someone I love. And then experiencing that when trying yourself it will be on another level. And it's not a mean thought either, you just can't wait to be in their position. My best friend is pre ATM and we are so close we were each other made of honours and everything and I am so insanely happy for them but I get green eye monster and want what they have. It's ok to feel like that! And it will be you before you know it ❤️ xxx

Met my cousins little baby today. So overwhelmed with happiness for them but sad due to it not being my baby! lol am I strange x

Ok thanks @Trying1stBaby x

@Hamandpeas it looks like your at peak. From what I have read you will ovulate about 24 hours after you get a peak opk. Maybe don't tell DH you got a peak one.

Can someone give me their opinions on these ovulation sticks? Tried them last month and promised myself I wouldn't this month

They're over the last 4 days ish, the top one an hour ago, the second to top midnight ish and third to top 8.30am yesterday.

Did it yesterday morning but both managed to fall asleep last night and DH has had to pop to work today and won't be back til this afternoon (and is very much against the sticks telling him when to do it)

But do I need to make sure we do it again today? Ahhh going crazy!!

@Kescilly @FlapJackered this is my first period since stopping the pill and it has come as 'usual' as I was on the combined pill - 3 weeks on, 1 week off (with a bleed in that week). That's what I meant by the withdrawal bleed - the last one So now I'm officially off contraception and doing by best to make a baby. Good luck everyone!

I'm out ladies, but will keep an eye on this thread. Hoping some of you get BFPs next week!

@rosesandponies your so right! And if it was negative I'd prob end up testing again on Wednesday just incase and it's just a waste of money and tests! I'm going to stay strong!! I can do this!! 💪 Xx
