Any 20s TTC first baby? :)

Hi, I’m 27 and TTC baby number 1 if my periods ever come back again after the pill 🙈

Update:
9 months after getting my copper coil removed, I have found out today I am about a month pregnant!!!!! Symptoms are: hunger, light headed once or twice a day, need to pee quite often and sore boobs. Didn't get implantation bleeding so I thought I was pmsing, but I was 9 days late so I decided to test with an eBay cheapie and the line was bright red. Went and bought a clear blue digital test and it shows 3+ weeks!!!! Bf and I are both over the moon 🥰😍

Hi ladies just an update I had my laparoscopic surgery last Monday still recovering they found stage two endometriosis and burnt it away glad I have a diagnosis as this has been ongoing since November and so had pain. I’m onto cycle 6 but still recovering so won’t be BFP anytime soon

Hello, I’m 24 and my partner is 27, we’re on our 2nd cycle of trying ‘properly’ I get acne on my jaw line and a few hairs under my belly button and now am convinced I have PCOS as I have stupidly gone on mad googling sprees! Have regular cycles of 24-25 days but can be heavy! I know I shouldn’t really be worrying after 2 cycles but it’s soooo hard not to, and feel like if there was a problem I’d rather know sooner than later....?

I hope so! ☺️ as the days go on I get more and more excited and less nervous

@flossy12 I took cerazette a few years ago, when I came off it my cycles got back to normal quite quickly so hopefully that's the case for you too.

Stopped my cerazette on Sunday the 28th and have just started AF which I'm happy about, expected it to take months, so nervous to start my TTC journey so glad for all the kind words you guys have daily x

@mrssunshinexxx that's accurate if you can aim on it, i've only done two tests as i had one late AF a few months ago as my health wasn't great bit TMI but i invalidated one by aiming badly

I just hold the test under whilst I'm weeing- is this my accurate ??

@1990shopefulftm I'm terrible at aiming, so the big mug works quite well for me! 😂

I really hope it works out :) I'm excited for when I do finally ovulate and then can start the 2ww!

@roo3125 sorry I typed your username out wrong on my phone.

@roo3215 that's understandable, I ve not been on the pill for a couple of years so think I know my body reasonably well.
That d be lovely to have your kids grow up together.
That's a brilliant idea, thank you. we ve got plenty of old mugs lying around.

@1990shopefulftm I wasn't going to use OPKs but then, after having no af for over 55 days coming of the pill, I want to make sure that I'm definitely ovulating! :)

We were going to dtd every other day but I'm worried we miss the 'right time', so aiming for every day! 😂

Just found out that a close friend is pg, so I'm even more determined as would love us to have kids close in age.

I use a mug! Much wider and just hold it in the bowl :) try that and see!

@Roo3125 Sounds like you're doing everything you can, hopefully this is your month. I'm just going to see how this cycle goes, then if AF comes I'll try OPK's then. Bit TMI but i'm horrendous at peeing in pots, only done a few urine tests in my life so hoping I don't end up needing to do many PG tests when the time comes.

@1990shopefulftm I'm in the same position. Ovulation should hopefully be in 2 days time. Using OPKs to identify exactly when (hopefully). DTD every day just in case! 😂

Not much happening, waiting on ovulation which should be in three or four days time. Keep browsing mothercare's website to pass the time.

How's everyone getting on x

@mrssunshinexxx
Thank you for the recommendation, I'll check it out :)

1990 you sound similar to be I just use an app called ovia to track my period that will then tell. You when you are ovulating x

AF started this morning, 3 days early so my cycle was 25 days instead of the usual 28 days so officially starting cycle one of TTC.
Hoping it's just a one off and my bodies messing with me, now I'm a bit unsure when ovulation day might be this month, normally i get some symptoms so could make a good guess. Don't want to put stress on things too much and use OPKs or anything to start with, just going to see how this month goes and DTD around when I think ovulation time might be.
I've been trying to get used to not using antihistamines with hayfever, and using prevalin and eye drops instead but have caved a couple of times the past week, so really going to try not to take them from now on as i know it's not ideal to in pregnancy.

@Rosie2531 yeah, I definitely had decided I'd like children before I was 30, thankfully my DH (to be) agrees and is the same. We never really thought about putting it off for anything! With us getting married in October it was a 'worry' that I wouldn't fit in my dress, but now I'd be over the moon so I don't think it would matter that much to me now.

You definitely could think of a thousand reasons not to right now, but it's like that with everything in life, there's always a better time that never comes

@cc1616540 Keeping my fingers crossed for you that this is the month.

Only one of my 'same age' friends has a child. The rest of my DP's friends who are 28-32 have a few children. I think it's becoming more common for folk to have children in their mid thirties due to 'waiting for the right time' etc.

We were due to be married next year (and probably still will but a much smaller wedding) but decided that we didn't want to spend thousands and then have to wait even longer to ttc. We'll see how long it takes for us tc and then make the decision on the wedding etc :) we're comfortable in our family rented house (which is guaranteed and practically our own) so can still save money even with a dc. We just want kids whilst we're still young ourselves. Both in guaranteed jobs at 30k and will be on 40k in 3 years 🙄 if we said 'let's wait till...' there would always be something to wait till.

@1990shopefulftm well it's taken me 2 years so far, so patience is something I've had to develop. I'm having a really good go at it this month and feel a lot more knowledgeable so fingers crossed!
I have gone through all the emotions I think, motivation, desperation, patience, hopeful, disappointment.. you name it!

@cc1616540 Thank you:) I m generally quite patient with most things but feel like I'm going to find it difficult to be when it comes to becoming pregnant.
