TTC first baby! Continued...

@delilah7 that's good to know :) how long were you trying?

@gjchapman @Toto19 I fell pregnant just by using flo app so it does work :)

@toto19 you entre when AF starts and finished and it works it out from your month to month cycle. since I became regular its become more accurate. you can also entre if you have a positive ovulation test and then it makes it even more accurate. You can also log other stuff like headaches, craps etc and then it work out patterns. I suffer from migraines and it has worked out that they are time of the month related.

@cupcakesandglitter! hello

I'll have a look at ovia not heard of it

Welcome @cupcakesandglitter!

I use both Flo and Ovia. They seem to be telling me roughly the same thing. I prefer Ovia, but I think I just prefer the article content and layout.

@gjchapman how does the flo app work? I'm using ovia but it seems to just be guess work. I've dtd at the right times according to that but nothing haha! I'm feeling exactly the same, it's so hard to relax and not think about it :( I'm due af today and getting cramps so it's coming! xx

@cupcakesandglitter I'm 23 too. Been trying since May :) xxx

Hi can I join? 🤗 I'm 23 and started TTC for our first this month :) xx

@toto19 I was on Cerelle which I believe is to be near enough the same as yours. I got my withdrawal blead within a week so I though yey its all working, but then no ovulation for a while. I use the app Flo which I've managed to track my ovulation to between 6-8 days after AF so then I use the ovulation test around day 7 and normally get a positive result. I know exactly how you feel, I wasn't well last week and I was thinking omg I could be pregnant but now I feel fine so I'm just waiting for the dreaded moment again :( its very hard to stay positive and all the people that say don't stress it'll come when you don't expect it to, how can It come when I least expect it to when I'm trying for a baby! makes me angry! (sorry rant over!)

@gjchapman I'm 26, was on cerazette before. It didn't take as long as I've heard others to get regular cycles though when I came off it. Do you use ovulation tests as I tend to give up with them when I seem to not be getting a positive. I asked at the doctors when I was there for something else and he said if you are having regular cycles it pretty much indicates you are ovulating each month so he said come back in Nov and go from there..... it's just that moment when you get af each month and having a little cry. It's hard to stay positive isn't it? Xx

@toto19 I’m exactly the same I said to my DH that if we haven’t managed by Christmas, then we need to go to the doctors. I know it can take longer than a year but if I’m ovulation then surly something isn’t right?! How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? And what pill were you on?

@gjchapman thanks! We only started TTC this month so it is our first month. AF was due 2 nearly 3 days ago but still nothing yet. Not even the signs.... waiting a few more days to do a test. Fingers crossed it is a BFP but somehow I think it won't be and my late AF is because my hormones are all over the place.

Hoping you get a BFP soon xx

@gjchapman you sound like you've been ttc the same time as me. Since Christmas but cycles started to be regular around March. Ttc from then and nothing...I know people have been trying much longer but I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking what's wrong with me?

@gjchapman month 1 here!

@gjchapman fingers crossed :) since May. Xx

@chivari I came off my pill at Christmas and have only had a normal cycle for about 4-5 months.

still TTC, AF is due Thursday. Crossing everything for this time as its our first wedding anniversary in a few weeks to! this would be our first baby. I've convinced my self AF is coming though, tell tale signs and im ready for the disappointment again :( how long has every one been TTC for?

@ValidUser aww. Thank you. I certainly don't feel it with how much I moan 😂

Keep faith though. Could all be a good sign. 😘

@Delilah7 may I commend you for staying sane through all this!?

My episode of spotting is over and done with. On recalculation, I'm about 5 dpo now (apparently we're supposed to time from the first positive opk). AF due a week from today.

Bought some clearblue digital opks for next month. Not to be negative - just realistic. And if I am pregnant they might do for DC2! 😂

@CrystalBlaze yeah that's true... I can't concentrate for SHIT. I need chocolate. I need pink gin. I need all of that right now 😂

Morning ladies! And welcome Chivari. As others have said it can take a while for everything to settle down. If AF doesn't arrive I would do another test in a couple of days.

@Flapjackered hooray for static smiley! Now get to it

@Delilah7 I think @Crossfitgirl's advice is good. Men are rubbish at this sort of stuff sometimes. He might think that was the plan because he thought you would think it was best or something.

Last night I had to keep getting up to go for a wee. But boobs still aren't sore so it makes me think this month isn't the one. Anyone else struggling to concentrate at work?!

Thanks @FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl and @Delilah7 I'm hoping it is baby! But who knows. I haven't done a test yet today, was thinking of waiting until tomorrow. Still no sign of AF..... I'll let you know the result!

It is interesting how cycles change so much after BC! I've had breaks between different BC's before but always had regular cycles straight away.

@FlapJackered love the Italian name idea 😍 😘

@Crossfitgirl we've spoken and he says that it will be ok and it will happen and I know he wants a baby. I think it's just after the miscarriage. I feel maybe it's overwhelmed him. So I'll cool off for the next month or so talking about it. ( to him anyways 😂 ) xxx

Yaaaaaayy @flapjackered thats made my morning!! Go get him!!!! We will have to get our thinking caps on for Italian names!

@delilah7 do you want to start trying again? Maybe your OH isn't ready after the MC? Guys don't talk about their feelings enough - I would talk about it together and establish what you both feel is best xxx
