TTC first baby... mega thread!

Hi still learning all the abbreviations lol. TTC had a miscarriage a couple of months ago now back to trying again. Hope you don't mind me joining this thread

Thankyou @ChaosMoon and congratulations! How are you feeling?

@ttcat32 I've never been so happy while also feeling this utterly horrendous. But, that's what I signed up for right? 😊

Welcome @MrsC87.

Well hello everyone! I've just caught up! Thanks for the add @Crossfitgirl

For any newbies:
Came off the pill mid May.
Age 27
Cycle 3
CD 33 (11DPO) AF due Tuesday so if no show will test Wednesday.
Been having some minor cramps on and off, nothing major though and today some strange sensation - was kinda like cramps but kind of not too... can't really explain! But I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up!

Haha @sunshine1987 that's made me chuckle but also very concerned for my parts lol. I started 1 day early as-well last night thinking let's go for it lol.
Aww good luck, when is AF due? Got my fingers crossed for everyone!
Anyone read The Secret? I've been reading it to keep positive and relaxed which I know is easier said than done at times

Hi, joined the previous thread but it was near the end and I couldn’t keep up with all the messages!
29
Ttc#1
Cycle 1
Af/BFP due 2nd so currently sitting on my hands! I haven’t started using ovulation kits or anything yet just an app to track AF and estimates ovulation. Trying to be calm and relaxed but addicted to the app so that’s not really working too well!

@MrsC87 I'll keep your parts in my prayers, you're going to need it, SMEP is a complete and utter shagathon lol. We did it this month, currently on 6DPO so waiting to see if it works lol x

Hi All
I'm another silent viewer, not really knowing what to say but would love to join in.
I'm 31, ttc child 1 and on cycle 2.
Didn't really try hard last month but on cd8 today and going to give smep a go!
Not sure myself and hubby have the energy but will give it a good go! Starting tonight
Is anyone else following smep at the moment? How's it going?

Thanks @ttcat32 !

I kinda guessed it wasn’t for the faint hearted with the syringe method etc made me giggle and a few other posts 😂 love it!! Has made my crappy days a little lighter!!

@FlapJackered I might need to get some tips from you on the cycle shortening!

@Crossfitgirl enjoy the booze! Your DH can have this weeks seabiscuit title! Saddle up! 😂😂😉

@Kileah18 welcome! I dread to think what you have seen, this group is not for the faint hearted 😂 we don't believe in tmi and will quite regularly admit to forcing seducing our our half's in pursuit of the swimmers!

@ChaosMoon congratulations! Other than exhausted are you doing ok? Thank you for the advice Gives a little bit of hope

Xxx

@Crossfitgirl don't forget the cowboy hat! ;) enjoy xxxx

Thanks for calling me to join @BambiOnIce80! I would certainly have missed you fabulous ladies.

I'm 35. Got my BFP last month and now spending all my time in a semi-comatose state! This will be DC1.

@Crossfitgirl I loved what you said in another post about exercising while TTC and while pregnant. I just wish I didn't lack the energy to do more than 5 minutes at a time!

@ttcat32, cramps don't necessarily mean anything. Had them before my bfp and pretty much every day since. Got my fingers crossed for you, and for everyone else in the 2ww.

Hey Ladies can I join? Been following a few different threads with you all on it just havnt had the courage to post & you all give me a few giggles I’m kinda nuts too 🤣🙈

My stats -
Age 23, Birthday next week 😋
TTC #1
Been trying from June so 3rd month!

Stopped my pill in May, had withdrawal bleed then AF came when it should have so been pretty regular cycle around 32 days. However this month when I thought I was ovulating just going by Flo app there was no sign all negative OPK but the week before I had a lot of EWCM and jusy thought nah couldn’t be way too early but now I’m not sure!!

@Crossfitgirl enjoy 🥂😉

@Crossfitgirl I'm using those this month too!

Enjoy brunch and sexy time.

Hi Everyone
I’m 25 ttc#1 Cycle 1 I’m around 6do and AF is due 2nd Sept. thought we DTD enough but zero symptoms so just waiting for AF really.

@Crossfitgirl thanks for the add lovely!

Wower there is so much to catch up on already!

For those that don't know me I am...
cycle 3 (of proper ttc but we haven't been preventing for about 5 months)
Cd36 / 11dpo (af due tomorrow and bfn this morning boo hiss 👎🏻)
Age - 30

I have irregular cycles so gone from 35 to 56 to 29 and now looking like 37. The queen of supplements and cycle shortening tips and tricks! 😂

Hi all newbies welcome to the mad house 😍❤️

@sunshine1987 I'm 10dpo have no symptoms other than some cramps yesterday so pretty sure it's not my month. AF due Wednesday so I'll see how long I can hold out, trying to wait till Monday and then if nothing I won't unless late x

Hi @BambiOnIce80 , thanks so much for getting back to me! I have only read positive things about it too, so fingers crossed. I'm not sure about needles in the toes- but will stay open minded.

I look forwards to hearing how you get on. Good luck! X

Hello! Also joining if I may, I am:
33
Just starting cycle 2

Currently in agony with AF day 1 so guess I will ovulate in early September.

@ttcat32 haha! I think that's a good call! 😊

@sunshine1987 I know... I promised myself I wouldn't get too excited about possibly being pregnant this month, as it's only cycle 1 and my body's still fixing itself after coming off the pill, but I can't help it!

@Rach142 I've got my first hour long acupuncture appointment on Thursday 👍 Decided to go for it because the WHO acupuncture guidance document (the world health organisation and not the 60's rock icons 😉) says that there's evidence that acupuncture helps with female fertility - that's good enough for me!

Spoke to some lovely ladies on another thread who have been having it and they're very positive about it. It's supposed to be very relaxing and costs less than a massage/facial, so even if we don't get pregnant at least we'll be chilled about it 😂 Needles apparently go in forehead above the nose, toes and shins, but I guess I'll see for myself on Thursday. I'll report back to you 👍

@MrsR16 this month has dragged so much already!
