Can I join?

Age: 29
TTC: number 1
Cycle: 4 after mc at 8 weeks 10 in total

I think I'm 6dpo but don't test for ovulation (promised we wouldn't until the 6months trying mark) I'm driving my self insane!!! I was so chilled before the mc but now I just want to be 6months pregnant already every month is a disappointment at the moment and if/when I get a bfp I don't even know how I will react! It's all we want but the fear of going through a mc again is just horrible.

Also no tests in the house so I don't waste them from 1dpo 😂😂😂 testing next Saturday if AF is a no show

I wonder if anyone can shed some light... did you go most crazy on cycle #1? Or does it just get crazier??

Mumplanner · 05/07/2018 17:07

@Charlotte1x I’m so glad to know it’s not just me! Perhaps we will calm down a little after we’ve been through the first cycle (although I won’t hold my breath). I’m just spending lots of time researching and reading and generally obsessing over all things baby. 🙈

I'm 4dpo!
31yrs old ttc #1 cycle #1!
Putting no hope in this first month but at the same time going crazy waiting!!
Good luck everyone!!

Charlotte1x · 05/07/2018 16:48

@Mumplanner sorry I don’t have a lot of advice because I myself am already getting a little obsessive on cycle 1! I’m just trying to keep myself as busy as possible and if I start getting symptoms I’m gonna keep reminding myself that it could well be because AF is on its way... that what I won’t be getting my hopes up too much! (Even though I secretly will be 😬)

Hi guys! I’m TTC, cycle 1 and I’m unsure when my next period is due - probably between 4 and 8 days. So far no positive tests. A couple of possible symptoms - but I could well be reading into things because I want them to be that! Any tips on keeping relaxed while TTC? I’m worried that it’s only cycle 1 and I’m already this neurotic!

BlueArtemis · 05/07/2018 13:12

@Bas27 I'm planning to test on the 15th, I'll be 13-14dpo by then which I'm hoping is about the right time Smile Like @Charlotte1x I ovulated a few days late this month so I think AF will be a bit late anyway... I know that will get my hopes up even though I'm expecting it!

I've got a family wedding this weekend and I'm slightly dreading avoiding alcohol... they don't know we're TTC and that will definitely give the game away...!

Hi, I'm 3dpo, my leutal phase is normally 10 days. It's already too long.
Age: 28
Ttc: #1
Cycle #12 (month 15)

Charlotte1x · 05/07/2018 09:01

Hi @Bas27 and @BlueArtemis again! :) I’m first cycle TTC DC1! I’m 27.

I’m around 2-3 post ovulation as well and I’m also going to test on the 16th. I’ve ovulated a bit later than I anticipated this months, when this has happened before my luteal phase has been slightly shorter.

My fingers are crossed for us all! I just need to try and preoccupy myself over the next week and a half! I have a tendency to over analyse and get a little obsessive!

Bas27 · 04/07/2018 20:31

Hi @BlueArtemis thanks for the reply!
When are you trying to hold off testing until?
I'm going to attempt to wait until the 16th but I know I will over analyse everything from here to Timbuktu between now and then!

Hi @Bas27 Smile I'm 2 or 3dpo here, already driving myself crazy thinking I have symptoms when I know it's impossibly early! Two weeks seems like forever right now. I'm 24, this is my first cycle TTC first baby. Fingers crossed for you Smile
