TTC first baby

@tryingforbabyone I know I couldn't imagine being like that every month either, I have to ban myself from google past 7pm because I'm just constantly googling things, nightmare!! All the people I know that have had babies didn't notice much even the ones that were actively trying so I try not to get too hung up on no symptoms until around 10dpo that's when I start to feel disheartened and research like crazy until AF shows up. I'm like a mad woman sometimes all the things I don't eat or do "just in case" is insane. I never thought I'd be this woman that is TTC crazy on month 5 🤬😡

@littlelisa34 I'm only 1dpo so still really early for me but just feel like I should be noticing something as other people say they do.
Although it's promising that @Samantha11K said she didn't necessarily know.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to be a little more carefree and maybe delete the apps ect but I just feel like when your ttc how can you not constantly be thinking about it. I can't imagine just being like oh let's just see how it goes because I want it so bad! I just naturally do it now.

Yeah I envy people that have that attitude to TTC I wish I could just let it all go and just see what happens but because I'm a little older I don't think I have that luxury of doing that unfortunately

I agree the TWW is horrendous. I found myself planning my life around the possibility that I "might" be pregnant. It's so hard to do but I think you just have to try and forget about it.
My DR told me to delete my apps etc and just have fun, look after myself and have sex regularly.
I hoping that they're right and it will happen the moment I stop thinking about it x

@tryingforbabyone I know unless your actively trying I don't think anyone can understand this tww, you'd think after time it would get a little easier to just wait but I swear it gets harder every month.. there's definitely still hope though, how many dpo are you?

@Izzimai20031998 that's exactly why I never used them in the first place because I didn't want to be like, ok we must go have sex now because I'm ovulating lol.

I didn't really have any symptoms, I just had a very strong feeling. It's nothing specific, I just felt a bit off colour.
I was doing the same, reading online about feeling sick, boobs getting bigger but I didn't notice anything like that so early on.
I'd say the second time around I started to feel really exhausted all the time but that was at about 5 weeks.
It's difficult because it's so similar to period symptoms and when you're TTC you do read into every little thing x

@littlelisa34 yeah that's what I always think which makes the TWW even longer! So I'm massively symptom spotting now but so far nothing I don't think it does also say that you don't necessarily get symptoms until 5-19dpo though so there is still hope!

@Izzimai20031998 I use it for both conception and as lubricant if required.. and I might not test early I always try and wait until I'm late I don't even have tests in the house but I do symptom spot a lot!!! I'm 5dpo and other than a pulling sensation in my uterus last night absolutely nothing so far.. but when you look online and you see so many people get symptoms so early on i always just think "that's it I'm out" but I can only wait and see and hope for the best 🤯

Thank you @Izzimai20031998
You're definitely doing the right thing by waiting until you're a few days late. With the first one I tested on the day I was due and then bled a day later so had I not tested, I would have been none the wiser.
With the second time I did wait a good few days late and was over the moon when I saw the BFP, I just assumed that was it and this time would be fine.
I've had some tests and everything seems to be ok, just bad luck I guess.

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and it will happen when the time is right.
I'm tempted to get some OPK just to check I am ovulating but Dr says it's likely I am as periods are very regular.

Wishing you all best of luck x

@Izzimai20031998 yeah I used those cheap ones from Amazon. I also do fertility yoga (free videos on Youtube by YogaYin) and eat healthy (vegan) so I believe that must have helped too

@Izzimai20031998 Fertility friend for temping. I've been temping from February to learn my cycle better. My ovulation is usually around 18-20 day, quite later.

Hi Ladies,
Do you mind if I jump on?
TTC first baby after coming off mini pill in December last year.
Fell pregnant in Jan and had early MC at 4 weeks. Pregnant again in May and had another early MC at 6 weeks.

Spent the last month or so not even thinking about getting pregnant. Husband and I bought our first house and just moved in a week ago.
AF just arrived and I'm in pieces, don't know why this isn't happening for us 😔
I just assumed that when we'd start trying it would all happen easily. Anyone else been the same?

@Izzimai20031998 first cycle trying, have app. 32 days long. 10dpo.

@Izzimai20031998 thank you! I am so nervous, scared and excited at the same time. Scared to test again!

Hi @AlmostLondoner I can't definitely see a faint line and your symptoms sound good so fat I would wait a few days and maybe take a frer test and that should give you a more readable result hun good luck 😁
@Ginfizz90 that would be the best birthday present ever!!!!😀

@Ginfizz90 good that I am not alone! 😊
