TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

Thanks Delilah7 you're definitely right. I think I just like feeling prepared, but part of that is keeping ourselves relaxed!

@CookieWaffle good luck for testing in a few days, I've got everything crossed for you!

@Delilah7 and @ChaosMoon thanks for the answers about preseed - I'll have to have a look into that! There's so much to think about, isn't there?

Absolutely no reason to feel guilty @Delilah7. You're looking forwards with positivity rather than backwards with fear and there's nothing at all wrong with that.x

Here's to a successful September indeed @RanchoRelaxo 🤞

@CookieWaffle, also sending you positive vibes now you have your FRER's... I'm hoping for good news from you in the morning! 🍀

@ChaosMoon, has he not heard that one elsewhere?! 😄 Also, how're your blood tests going?x

@Delilah7, DP went pale when I said I'd ordered something that I really should have got his consent about. I'd told him that one of us on our thread was using a syringe this month rather than having sex and he immediately thought I'd been ordering syringes and his luck was no longer in this weekend 😂🤣 He's relieved it's just conception support vitamins and is happy to take them 😌

Ah sorry about AF Bambi here's to a successful September!

@CookieWaffle you're a genius. 😊

Sorry to hear about AF @BambiOnIce80 but we'll done for turning your mood around. Also, thank you. I'm going to show DH this thread as proof that I didn't make up the expressing bat shit crazy! 😂

Ahh @BambiOnIce80 I'm sorry to hear that, big hugs from me xx As for the testing I actually had a cunning plan, ordered some FRERs on Friday and got them delivered to the Amazon lockers in town so I couldn't get to them til today! And I was too lazy to go all the way into town at the weekend, so that worked!

I'm hoping the preseed worked here...

@ChaosMoon, I like the idea of a fake pimms🍹 Do pubs still sell schloer? Might be a good fake wine to throw your aunts off the scent 😉

@CookieWaffle, I was wondering if you'd caved yet! 😂 I'm very impressed that you got through the weekend without giving in 🙂

After having had a little cry when AF turned up (I was so hopeful this time with using the preseed 😔), I'm now actually enjoying this relaxing bit between AF and fertile window kicking in this weekend/early next week 😄 However, I've gone and done another one of things I said I wouldn't this time round 🙄 Spent my lunch hour googling conception support vitamins and ordered a 2 month supply for me and DP... Hopefully DP won't think I've gone 🦇 💩 crazy buying him drugs to take without asking him first! 😬 He's still got that glint in his eye because he knows his luck is in all weekend, so that should work in my favour when I drop the vitamins on him...

@ChaosMoon I'm either dedicated or I've just snapped.

Hard to say @BabySquid, might be might not, its an evil waiting game unfortunately. I would maybe test tomorrow if it stops xx

Thanks @ChaosMoon that gives me hope xx

@Delilah7 I tried a cheap Asda one on Sunday that was - but I didn't expect anything. Today I picked up the FRERs I had on order. I realised I only had normal ones, not early ones. Tomorrow morning is going to be hard to resist!

Hi guys, so AFs due either today or tomorrow and I've had a very light pink spotting- which I may add, I NEVER get before AF! Just wondering if I'm out or not for this month? Advice would be great 👍🏻 xx

@CookieWaffle I stopped feeling anything the day before AF was due. I have absolutely everything crossed for you!

@CrystalBlaze I'm a firm believer in "drink till it's pink". Maybe not loads, but abstaining when you don't know how long this will take seems crazy.

Sadly @BambiOnIce80 I've never liked tonic, but it sound like a great idea if you do! My plan for the party is too make a fake pimms and real pimms. I'll have a very pregnant friend coming so I can say it's for her and no-one need know which I'm drinking! Getting past my aunts in the pub will be more difficult - we only ever drink wine when we get together!

@ValidUser, I am loving your dedication! 😂

@LumosNox it's a fertility lube. You're vagina changes pH in your fertile window and it's designed to match it. It's also thinner than the normal stuff. It makes it more sperm friendly than a normal lube and is great if you don't get much ewcm. Worked for me.

So glad you're feeling more upbeat @Delilah7. Good luck to everyone who's approaching their fertile window!

Welcome @laura1405. I'm afraid feeling symptoms that aren't anything inevitable - we've all done it! Just try to enjoy out of you can.

@Delilah7 what doesn't kill you makes you stronger :) I'm glad you're feeling positive for trying again. This TWW has been the toughest so far but it's nearly over at least, just a few more days. Struggling on the positivity today as I feel very not pregnant and I've overexcited myself this cycle. But just need to hold on a few more days...

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that! Sending big hugs, hopefully this month is your month. I think I need to just remind myself that any symptoms I feel I may have are likely just my body getting back to normal after being off the pill. So frustrating that we just have to wait isn’t it xx

Hello ladies,

@Delilah7 I'm so glad this group has helped support you through this. It's weird isn't it, I was pregnant for 4 days then I wasn't. Wishing you lots of luck for your next cycle xx

@ValidUser Ahh I can't wait to hear the outcome of that! xx

@BambiOnIce80 how are you doing? 11dpo today and the only symptom I have so far is needing the loo alot. However I have been drinking alot in this heat! Will probably cave in and test tomorrow!

Hi everyone

I'm new to this so please bear with me I've recently come off microgynon after being on it for 13 years, I've had my normal withdrawal bleed and have been sexually active with my husband since, I'm suffering cramps and nausea but I think this is mainly from coming off the pill after so long and my body getting back to normal. I've tried to figure when I'll be ovulating but not sure what my cycles will be etc until my body settles. I just find I can't stop thinking about getting pregnant and worried I'll start seeing symptoms that aren't there haha! Is anyone else in / have been in a similar situation ith trying straight after coming off the pill?

Laura xx
