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.

@Skyla01 - Hi! I’m somewhat similar, I came off the pill 2 years ago but my cycles are still a bit of a mystery. However the last 3 cycles have all been 36 days so I’m am presuming/hoping this one will be the same. I haven’t used opks as it’s our first month trying and I promised myself I wouldn’t get obsessed.. but here I am so that didn’t go to plan 😂 however I have been using the Flo and Ovia apps. Have you had any symptoms yet?

@Ohana6419 - you sound exactly the same as me. It’s our first month TTC and I promised myself I wouldn’t obsess over everything, but it’s so hard not to when you are so excited! When are you planning on testing?

@Pastnowfuture - hello! I use both of those apps too. My cycles were very messed up when I came off the pill! What were your cycles like before the pill?

@Skyla01 @msemumma
Hi both, can i join? I'm 36 and ttc no1. AF started friday so I'm going into my 2nd cycle this week. I wasn't really sure what was going on in my first cycle as only just came off the pill so I feel like this month is my first 'proper' go. I'm too unorganised and my sleep schedule is too messed up to consider temping but I am using flo and ovia app and taking 7 seas multivit.

I'll join if that's OK 😊

TTC no1, cycle 1, 7/8DPO so currently in the TWW.

Not really expecting for us to get lucky the very first month, but as I'm obsessing so much already it would be nice to be able stop myself slowly descending into madness...

Hi there, can I join you?
I'm 32, TTC Number 1, on cycle 2.
I came off the pill in March and still working out my cycles so this month was a bit of a mystery. I think I'm between 5 and 11dpo but who knows! Might test in 2 weeks if AF doesn't show up.
Can't really imagine getting a bfp anytime soon, but hoping my cycles become regular so the timing of things is easier.
Are you using opks or helping or anything like that?
