TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

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?

I don't know how long after ovulation you can implant but would be useful to know - feeling quite dejected this evening because husband worked so late so didn't want to try on ovulation day yesterday and is complaining about feeling too tired tonight again... it's like our roles have reversed! He's like 'tomorrow' and I don't know if it's still possible tomorrow...

Hi guys! We started trying this month and I am currently in that horrible stage of waiting for my period which is due on the 18th.
My DH is pretty relaxed but I am struggling with the lack of control over it all! I have even been symptom spotting like a mad thing but am fairly certain that I am just imagining things.
Hope everything goes well for every one!

Quick question, can implantation happen 3dpo?! And not even 3 full days as I think I ovulated early afternoon on Sunday. Surely not?!? I just an odd period pain sensation and I'm obviously no where near my period.

I'm sure I must be symptom spotting Blush

@rosesandponies I hope you managed to convince the DH.
I am due to start doing opks from tomorrow, but because of my recent long cycles I think it might be at least a week before I become fertile.
This waiting game is tough!

Yes my husband is very ‘let’s just go with it’ as well - hates to see me researching etc

So much to do today but can't stop googling implantation signs... and today is meant to be my most fertile day so want to try but don't want husband to feel like a machine/performing seal. Really hope that he hasn't had too stressful a day at work 😂

Hi guys, first month for us too! I have ridiculously long cycles but charting and on the clear blue clinical trial so hopefully will catch ovulation!
Just finished AF so now a charting/waiting game! My DH is the same. He thinks we should just not chart etc and see what happens....

Mrsbarton · 08/05/2018 08:13

That is meant to say first month! Lol x

Mrsbarton · 08/05/2018 08:11

This is forstontj for us ttc number one! Af due next tuesday, trying so hard not to test already lol! Hopefully it's not a long journey for us all! X

hamandpease · 08/05/2018 07:37

Reading about implantation signs when I should be getting ready for work.. I know I'm going to be obsessing in a week or so trying to see them Shock

Amazing! Vitamin C you say? Need to get some in him...

rosesandponies yeah, I literally drink like a fish when I'm with that side of the family so it'd be pretty blatant.

loupelou7 omg, what a dream! Fx that my DP takes a bit more interest at some point.

Good luck to all for this month. Xx

My husband started out like that.... 5 cycles in TTC and he might as well have his own app he asks me regularly what day it is and what's happening and he's started popping vitamin C's lol Grin

and my husband not very interested in apps either... think he's worried it will become about babies rather than just being intimate

Haha I definitely would worry about that, if I get pregnant I am sure everyone will notice because it's very unlike me to turn down a drink 😂 Best of luck to you for this cycle

Also trying not to make other half feel like a machine. I don't think it's working! I keep trying to show him all my apps and get him involved but he's not interested.

I have a hen party for my SIL bang over when my period is due at the end of the month, so if I do end up preggers it's going to be painfully obvious...

hamandpease · 07/05/2018 21:25

Me! I think I ovulated yesterday so I'll be on holiday when I can test (packing several tests..)
