TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

Thanks @rosesandponies ❤️! My AF is due Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday so think I would test after this time because then I would know I'm actually late.
I will deffo be keeping you ladies informed on how I get on... But if I am really honest I'm not feeling it... Last month I could tell I was until the chem but this month feel normal. But I guess u just don't know until you know haha!

@rosesandponies excellent work well done 

I didn't actually really these thread was still going catching up with it all now

Second cycle trying and third cycle mapping, turns out my cycle is all over the place!

Really thought it would work last month and because it didn't not feeling very optimistic this month

GP has also kindly referred us for a sperm analysis test very early in the process as DH is on medication which can affect motility so best to know now I suppose...

Thanks ladies. I'm feeling a little bit more sane now . I just need to hear advice from ladies in the boat... I just don't listen otherwise because i feel like when your in the same situation you understand more... Does that make sense.

@FlapJackered id love that. Be perfect. I'd love to keep this thread going with all people in it with updates on their pregnancies etc. Would be wonderful xx

@Trying1stBaby well done, that is very restrained, and very exciting - I am not sure I would be able to wait, although I am sure it is the right thing to do!
I am not sure when AF is due, I have seriously irregular cycles, the last one was 52 days and I am on cd42 so not sure? I normally go from ovulation, and I think I may have ovulated yesterday if my temps stay up, so then will be at the start of the tww.

@Delilah7 it is emotional isn't it, it would just be nice to have a bfp on this thread.

Ah yes that makes sense FlapJackered. Hoping the once did the trick for you!

Sending you lots of good vibes, @Trying1stBaby! Just a few more days and you'll know, hopefully. :)

@Trying1stBaby I just know how much I'll love the experience of when I'm actually pregnant. Especially as I know someone people aren't able to be. But I know it's stressful. Even TTCing for my first cycle was extremely emotional xx

@delilah your right you don't want to look back at when you conceived your first baby and hate the memories haha! Xx
@flapjackered thank you, I don't know when to test... Sometimes I'm like IL test tomorrow but then it could still be too early... So realistically if I keep a straight head on I won't test until Wednesday when my period is definitely late. I have my fingers crossed for you too! When do you think you would expect your period?

@FlapJackered it's ok I spend most my time looking at ovulation calculators and how often to have sex and all that jazz 😂😂

Good luck @Trying1stBaby ! I think AF symptoms are quite similar to pregnancy symptoms, so you never know! Will keep my 🤞🏻 for you! When will you test?

@Delilah7
Yeah I am totally calm about it...while frantically googling symptoms and peeing on pg tests every 5 mins! 😂

@Trying1stBaby I'm the same. I'm wishing my DTD days away just to see if I have a better chance this month. But we should just relax and push through calmly 😂 I wanna enjoy this whole journey and experience xx

@delilah yeah your totally right ... I need to stay open minded now and not get carried away on either possible answer. It is very hard... And I'm also nervous about another chemical... But I guess theres no way of knowing and time will tell.. I hate time right now hahaha!

@Trying1stBaby we have our fingers crossed for you. So confusing as I now know how coming off the pill/pms and pregnancy have some of the same symptoms so I feel it's so hard not to get your hopes up. You never know lovely. Xx

@delilah so excited for you!
@rosesandponies just read back a little bit and I'm so sorry you've been going through a difficult time and I agree with the girls... No one knows or understands your relationship like you do and they never will. Relationships aren't always easy and you have to work hard at them sometimes. So no one can really comment on what you should and shouldn't do. Hope you alright!
I was hoping to get some good vibes from everyone... I'm starting to get nervous because i think I'm about 12dpo today and I think I should be getting my period Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday... But I'm hoping I don't. I feel today like I'm going to come on... Got that heavy achyness that aches in you upper thighs aswell and Im really hoping it's not my period coming early. I bought HPTs this morning which I'm kind of regretting because IL prob use them now haha! Also my boobs usually hurt from ovulation but I feel like they've only just started aching in the last day which makes me think PMS. Eeek! I'm tense haha!

I'm so excited I'm cd8 so I'm just getting started. Soooon to be in my fertile window 😍 exciting times xx

@Kescilly it's the bleed you get on the pill or the bleed when you have just come off it, I think.

I am on cd 42 woohoo! But temp has just got up a bit so 🤞🏻 it keeps going and I have ovulated. We Dtd but only once on Wednesday night, so hoping that's enough.

I’m confused by the term withdrawal bleed, doesn’t that refer to bleeding while on the pill? But otherwise yes it sounds like you are on CD2, ready to start again!

How’s everyone feeling? This thread and a few others dropped off my list so I’ve missed a bit.

Whoop whoop let's get those babies made. My withdrawal bleed started yesterday so does that put me on day 2 of my cycle today? I'm so confused about the acronyms for numbering cycle days.

I'm so ready to baby make ladies!

@rosesandponies a little sore! 🤦🏼‍♀️
Not sure but I think acne often fares up after ovulation with the rise in hormones?

@rosesandponies it was unbelievable what some people were saying, I hope you can try and ignore most of it. Also feel free to talk to us if you need to, for less judgmental ears! And support is what this is all about so never feel bad about chatting to us if you need to.

I have had too many G&Ts tonight after being so good with diet and alcohol and now feel guilty as it's hardly going to help my ridiculously long cycles - currently on day 42 and still getting bfn and no sign of af. Oh joy!
