Hello everyone,

I thought I would start a new thread for those trying for their first ever baby , hopefully we get some positives soon ! Am so excited and yet so so so nervous! We decided to try last month and sure enough my period started to act strangely ( brown period ?? ) it seems as though there is a baby boom recently, everyone announcing the news and I can't help but feel impatient already ahhhhh ..hopefully I can get some buddies to share the journey with
Am 25 ( 26 in July )

@dreamer2 A scan sounds like a great idea. I never even thought of that! I think I'll need to go down that road if things don't even out for me. I'm technically on CD 47-50 😨🤦‍♀️

Never had anything like this before. I was only on the pill for 2-3 months and hardly took it (we used pull out method for a year beforehand) always had regular af. A very confusing time!

Hopefully you will have your BFP before then though :)

@Rosie2531 welcome :) , shame about the docs losing your samples , things like that always seem to happen when you desperately need to find out something don't they ! My periods wee so strange too when I got off the pill last year ( been using condoms ever since ) , I once had a 40 day cycle which was very odd ! I've booked a private scan to check everything is fine structurally and find out if am ovulating in May but hoping will have a positive before then ! On cycle day 9 now, period due on the 4th of May xxx

Hi @dreamer2 ! I'm in the same boat as yourself. Ttc #1 and just turned 26.

I'm currently in a weird stage of not having af for 8 weeks (after pill withdrawal bleed) and having tests at the docs (after they lost my sample last week 🙄) to see if I'm actually pg. Have had faint lines but nothing more.

I think you're good to start a new thread as the other ones are huge! I'm happy to join :)

There are several threads already for people TTC their first babies. Why not join one of those for moral and practical support? Wishing you every success on this exciting journey Flowers
