So.... first baby 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼🙏🏽 Meant to be ovulating tomorrow. Main challenge atm is keeping things fun with the husband and not making him feel like a baby making machine 😂 How’s it going for other hopeful first time mummy’s?

Congratulations @Trying1stBaby!!!

How many dpo was that?

Hey guys I’m still here... had my doctors appointment today to discuss my ultrasound results..
according to the results I have a retroverted uterus and I have “in excess of 10 immature follicles which may suggest pco but the appearances weren’t convincing” the doctor was saying she’s going to refer me to gynae as they’ll be able to explain everything in more detail but we won’t be referred til after DH has his SA done which I’m hoping is soon.

@OrcinusOrca I'm still here!😂 had a busy weekend away. Still waiting anxiously... I've got a bit of acne today and feeling a bit blue which seems like PMS to me, so not very hopeful for this cycle! @Trying1stBaby congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 did you do more tests?

Congrats @Trying1stBaby !

Where has everyone else gone, are you all still here?! So quiet. 7DPO here and wishing time away Smile

WaitingForThatBFP · 14/05/2018 19:57

@Trying1stBaby that’s a positive to me!! Congratulations x

Trying1stBaby · 14/05/2018 19:36

Do you think?!? Shock IV just been to the shops for more tests so I can do another in the morning. Can't believe it!

TwinkleBear · 14/05/2018 19:33

Certainly looks like a BFP to me @Trying1stBaby !!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Trying1stBaby · 14/05/2018 19:13

Hey guys I know this might sound a little silly and I've actually said this month I'm going to go with the flow but I'm keen to see whether I ovulate when I normally should. I've got enough ovulation strips to test lots of time so I'm going to start a few days before my fertile window. But say if I got a positive in the morning would I still be positive that same night. How long does it last?

OrcinusOrca · 13/05/2018 19:36

@hamandpease oh dear! I've done my upmost not to before and then still done it, doesn't mean you're out at least as it was so early. I've stopped buying tests, not good if you have a stash already though, I'm bad at self restraint.

I'm going to try super hard not to. I don't even know when I'm due AF, last cycle was 48 days, but according to FF I ovulated ok CD22 and am 5DPO today. Weirdly I have a more optimistic feeling to TTC this year than last (only tried for a few months then stopped due to a new job).

hamandpease · 13/05/2018 17:06

I tested at 6dpo 😩😩😩 I mean I knew it wouldn't work but still...

WaitingForThatBFP · 11/05/2018 17:32

@flapjackered long and irregular cycles are the worst I’m currently on cd 63 😭 after a 45 day cycle last time.. it’s so frustrating..

I don’t use opks or temp as I feel like that’ll stress me out more than I already am.. although I do check my cervical fluid and position of my cervix

TwinkleBear · 11/05/2018 17:02

Fingers crossed for all of us!!! Xx

jeanzbeanz · 11/05/2018 16:58

@twinklebear I know right? Feel like I have spent my entire life avoiding pregnancy and being terrified of it (and feeling smug about people who had accidental pregnancies!) only to find that it's not as easy as I thought...

The 2ww is just horrible!

TwinkleBear · 11/05/2018 16:56

I'm 29 DH's 27 and were also TTC#1.

TwinkleBear · 11/05/2018 16:55

I'm in the same boat @jeanzbeanz. It's only our first month actively trying but I'm already so stressed over it! Praying so hard for a miracle in the first or second cycle! The tww is horrible. Fingers crossed for everyone on this journey! Why can't it just be as easy as everyone always warned us it would be when we were younger???

jeanzbeanz · 11/05/2018 16:49

I should add, we are both early/mid 20s and trying to conceive #1

jeanzbeanz · 11/05/2018 16:46

Hey Smile
I'm pretty new to TTC and already feeling stressed out and worried it will never happen! We decided that we would start TTC in Feb. My cycles are reeeeally long/irregular so I am wondering if I should go see a Doctor. Last month I was really emotional when AF arrived (after a 45 day cycle, the witch) and we decided maybe we should take a break for a few cycles. However I'm due to ovulate soon and of course I feel like we should try again... but I can hardly face another 2ww!

@FlapJackered I'm pretty stressed at the moment as well have had some exams for floristry qualifications and I hope it's not affecting my cycles which I feel are getting longer and longer... @OrcinusOrca thanks for the terms glossary and OMG I am literally 3 days post ovulating too!!! Is it still worth trying today??

OP posts:
OrcinusOrca · 11/05/2018 14:40

I never have notable CM but charting and OPKs suggest I am ovulating. I think some people have more notable CM than others.

Fingers x'd for lots of BFPs on here!
