I know there are loads of threads around at the moment but going through all the messages on there is a nightmare. So wanted to start a fresh one for people to join in on TTC their first baby...

I’m currently in cycle number 1 of TTC my first child. I am 6dpo today and hoping to hold out until 10dpo before testing.

@msemumma I’ve had slight nausea on and off since Thursday and not much appetite on Friday and yesterday (was our for dinner yesterday and didn’t even have a pudding!) I play netball twice a week and on Thursday I felt sick after playing and could barely walk to my car after which never happens. Im playing tonight so will see how I feel as Monday nights are less intense than Thursdays so I’ll know somethings up if I feel the same tonight! Had you had any symptoms?
I say I’ll wait until Thursday but that doesn’t mean I’ll not cave before then 😂 when are you planning on testing?

Ohana6419 · 09/06/2019 22:10

My charts are trolling me. Ava and FF both disagree on ovulation day. All non temp signs point to CD15 (Ava) but temps look like CD19 (FF). If FF is right we didn't have a great run of DTD beforehand and I'm not as far in the TWW as I thought. Meh 😒

Anyone have any thoughts?

Baby dust to all xxx

@msemumma
I feel sick, bloated, grumpy, back ache, boobs are a little sore but I’m sure they look bigger!
But I’m pretty sure this is alllll my body playing tricks, I will let you know in the coming days!! 😂😂
Determined not to test until Wednesday! So that will be 10 dpo. In the meantime, the other FRER in the packet will be teasing me in the morning I’m sure.... I. Will. Stay. Strong. 🤣

msemumma · 09/06/2019 21:28

@FutureMrsD have you had any symptoms as of yet? ☺️

@MrsS147 - Hi! have you had any symptoms yet? You are so good holding out until Thursday, I definitely need your will power! 😂

@PeanutButter19 Hiya! What CD are you at the moment and how long are your cycles usually? ☺️

PeanutButter19 · 09/06/2019 20:53

Hi everyone 👋 hope I can join in :) I’m 27 and TTC no1, currently waiting on my cycle to come back after dropping the pill just over 2 months ago, tracking BBT every morning and no signs of ovulation yet so hoping my body gets back on track soon

Chanel05 · 09/06/2019 20:51

@Skyla01 I've used opks for months. I go between cheapies and clear blue advanced digital.

MrsC89 · 09/06/2019 20:49

@Skyla01 just cheap ones, the ones you get from Amazon in packs of like 20+

Skyla01 · 09/06/2019 20:44

@FutureMrsD and @MrsC89 what brand of opk have you been using?

MrsS147 · 09/06/2019 20:41

Hi all, can I join in too?

TTC our first and on cycle two! My and DH are both 27 (he’ll be 28 next month!)

Currently CD22 and 8dpo. AF is due on Saturday and thinking I may test Thursday if I can wait that long! Good luck to you all 🤞🏻 x

xELENx · 09/06/2019 20:33

@msemumma the waiting a killer isn't it?! I'm currently having what I think/hope is implantation bleeding (I never have spotting between periods) and the colour and consistence is different.

I will def keep you updated! Likewise, best of luck for Friday, looking forward to hearing how you get on x

MrsC89 · 09/06/2019 20:33

Hiya can I join please?
I'm 30, on cycle 2 of ttc my first. I'm 6ish days post ovulation. Used opks this cycle which I found really helpful as my cycle was 38 days last month!

FutureMrsD · 09/06/2019 20:18

@Skyla01 yes very! With my cycle being 50+ days I really had no idea when I was ovulating.

Skyla01 · 09/06/2019 20:11

@futureMrsD what opks are you using? Have you found it useful? I might start using some next month .

Chanel05 · 09/06/2019 20:07

@msemumma before mmc my cycles were 31 days but I'm currently on cd39 and expecting bfp/af cd45. It took 4 weeks to get negative hpt after surgery.

FutureMrsD · 09/06/2019 20:03

Hi All,
Mind if I join 🙂
I am:

  • on 4th cycle (have been TTC since January, the pill messed me up a little and my last 2 cycles have been about 53 days)
  • TTC first child
  • first month of using OPKs
  • currently about 7dpo and CD 31
  • I am very stupid because I tested this arvo and I upset it was a BFN! (Maybe not relevant, Just a confession I had to get out 😂)
Best of luck to you all and looking forward to getting to know you internet-ly 🙂 x
Skyla01 · 09/06/2019 20:00

@msemumma I'm using flo app but don't know what my "regular" cycle is yet so this month dates are all based on the average 28 day cycle which will be inaccurate for me but gives me a vague idea. If I go on to cycle 3 I'm hoping it will be clearer. Might start using opks after that if not pregnant by then.

@lauralozzle it's exciting to have that chat isn't it! I wondered if I would regret having kids to early (at 32...!) but now we've started ttc I'm more worried that we should have started sooner! I'd also like two by 35, just hoping it doesn't take too long. It's only now we're trying I realise how many couples take a long time to conceive.

msemumma · 09/06/2019 19:59

@xELENx hello! I haven’t really had any symptoms apart from since 4dpo I’ve had thrush (or what I believe is thrush) TMI Sorry.. which I’ve never had before, however it could just be coincidence! Other than that I don’t feel any different. I have a 16 day luteal phase so not due until 19th. Going to test Friday as don’t think I will be able to hold myself back any longer than that! Make sure to keep me updated!

msemumma · 09/06/2019 19:52

@Lauralozzle wish my cycles were as short as yours, 36 day cycles makes the wait feel like forever 😔 good luck for this month, make sure to keep us updated!

@Chanel05 - really sorry to hear about your MMC! What CD are you on at the moment and how long are your cycles?

OP posts:
xELENx · 09/06/2019 19:47

@msemumma I'm similar to you - TTC #1, first cycle and 6dpo. Both DH and I are 34 (35 later this year). I have PCOS with regular 36 day cycles.

My body has felt very different over the past few days, things happening that are totally out of the ordinary for me so I'm hoping it means something positive. AF due Saturday (15th) so plan to test that day when I'll be 13dpo - if I can wait that long.

Ohana6419 · 09/06/2019 19:29

@msemumma I'm hoping to hold out until Friday but realistically probably will be Wed/Thurs. I'm telling myself that Friday which will be 12/13DPO will most likely be the day when I'll be likely to get an accurate result so if I cave and test earlier hopefully the BFNs won't stress me out too much!

Pastnowfuture · 09/06/2019 19:21

@msemumma I have been on the pill for 19 years. I was put on because they were super heavy and I would vomit and/or faint! Apart from some mild lightheadedness on my heaviest days I've been okay since coming off it.

Chanel05 · 09/06/2019 18:34

Hello all 👋

Ttc number 1, cycle 9 but ttc for 1 year now. Mmc in April so waiting for bfp/af.

Lauralozzle · 09/06/2019 18:30

Can I join?

Me and D.H. had ‘the talk’ today, which was far easier than I thought it would be. Seems he’s been ready for a while and waiting for me! So, we are now going to officially start trying. Exciting and nervous at the same time!

So, I’m on my first cycle, currently cd9. I’ve just ordered some opks. Don’t want to start temping straight away, but will look into that if there’s been nothing in next couple of months. My cycles are fairly regular, usually between 26-30 days (last two have been 26 days) but average is about 28.

I’m 31 and D.H. is 33 so we think now is probably the best time as we’d like 2 eventually and ideally, I’d like to have both before I’m 35. Fingers crossed we don’t have any trouble conceiving.
