TTC First Baby Thread 22

Huge congrats @PrincessConsuela12!!

@Lozzlepop ahh I know, I’m just being impatient. I’m also annoyed with myself as pretty much missed my fertile week telling myself my cycle would surely be shorter than the first one of 45 days! Who ovulated on CD32 when most people are late for AF and testing - well, me apparently!! I’m going to start tracking next cycle with opks. I really hope cycles settle down soon because I’m not getting a chance each month atm, only every 1.5 months - it’s torture!

I’m not symptom spotting as only 2DPO but I’ve been feeling sick last few days. Does anyone here suffer from ovulation sickness? I feel fluey as well. I’m just wondering if it could be related.

Thank you everyone. I am just so excited but really trying to control it until I know more.

I'll be less than 6 weeks so really worried they won't see anything, sure they know what they're doing though 🤞🏽

@PrincessConsuela12 congratulations lovely:D :D so exciting

(Haven't read the other messages yet but saw that and had to reply)

@PrincessConsuela12 ah congratulations, that's great news! I think they can start seeing things/heartbeat from 6 weeks. It's great that they've booked you in straight away though, hopefully they can do some tests at least!

@XjustagirlX if you click on Community and then Chart Gallery you can then filter on charts. I used it a lot to compare mine (I have the free version as well).

@Lozzlepop hope you're doing well lovely :) xx

@PrincessConsuela12 - congratulations! I don’t think you see anything at 4 weeks, but they must be confident that they can get what they need to book you in :)

@XjustagirlX - here’s a link to the chart gallery I would refer to, as they give good explanations and it’s based on a book: www.ovagraph.com/chart-gallery

Hi everyone, hope it's ok if I join. I'm TTC my first and this is cycle 1! I'm super super excited, even though I know the chances on the first go are pretty slim (I'm 37). I'm feeling absolutely exhausted and sick today and I can't help but hope that this is it, although it's really far too early for me to be feeling anything. Anyone else felt the same?

@lozzlepop I’m currently on CD35. I’m expecting af any day now. I just want her to hurry up so we can get on with the next cycle.

Hello ladies!

@Sunshine8888 it can take a little bit of time for your cycles to regulate after being on the pill. Are you using any tracking methods such as OPKs or temping?

@MrsH497 I am super snoozy today so if we could fast forward to the weekend that would be just grand!

@XjustagirlX what CD are you? Maybe you OV later than you thought? Sorry I only have the free FF app too so can't shed any light on where to find graphs.

@PrincessConsuela12 ahhhh congratulations thats amazing news!!! I don't think they can see anything that early on, my EPU will only see you from week 6 onwards for a scan but they make take blood samples and test your HCG levels?

@PrincessConsuela12 congrats. Sorry I’m not sure about the scan.

@ELW85 I’ll have a look into anovulatory cycles. I’ve tested but eep getting negatives.

Also does anyone know how to view other peoples graphs on the FF app. I use the free version but there is a way to see people’s graphs. I accidentally found it the other day and now I cant find it again.

I can't believe I'm writing this but I got a BFP on a clear blue this morning!! Haven't even told DH as he wasn't around but I couldn't keep it in!

I have been getting them on IC's but heard they are awful for giving false positives so I dismissed it...

AF not due until tomorrow but I have already phoned the EPU due to my ectopic in Dec & they have booked me in for a scan next Tuesday! I'll only be around 4+6 ish so does anyone know if anything can be seen then?

Morning all!

Thanks for the new thread @MrsH497 - I hope you’re well?

@Larrydavid - haha! I used to do that ALL the time :) the key thing is that you’re looking for a trend, so you can have a couple of anomalous readings and you’ll still be ok!

@XjustagirlX - sorry to hear your cycle is still being odd. Have you tested? It might be worth reading up on anovulatory cycles, if you can. Could be the alternative?

@MrsH497 Fertility friend said af was due yesterday but I usually get spotting for two days before. I keep running to the toilet at work to check. People must think I have something wrong.

So af still hasn’t arrived. My temps are still all over the place. I expected to start spotting yesterday but nothing arrived. I keep doing cheap tests and keep getting bfns. I have no idea what’s happening.

@Lozzlepop yes I came off the pill after 15 years on 1 June. I just wish I had done it sooner. I didn’t realise how complicated it would make ttc 😬

Morning all,

Thanks for tagging @MrsH497 I hope this cycle is kinder to you 💕

@ValidUser that's great about the follicles! Keeping everything crossed for you.

@Larrydavid yay for EWCM! Fingers crossed it's a positive sign for this cycle.

Have a lovely day ladies xx

@Lozzlepop I can't wait, I've got a whole load of nothing planned and I'm so excited for it 😂 what about you?

Thanks for the new thread! A recap on me:
TTC #1
Cycle 5
Af/bfp due sept 7th
Age 35

I'm feeling like my body is slowly getting back to normal. This is the first month I've had EWCM before ovulation (or at least in an earlier place in my cycle!) - hopefully this is the start of my cycle returning to normal!

I'm going to attempt to reply to previous messages!

@MrsH497 I've had a couple of acupuncture sessions over the last couple of cycles but I'm going to up them to two a cycle (one before af, one before ov) - we're trying to conceive before December and if we don't, we'll have a break so there's no chance of being heavily pregnant before our wedding. Sorry about your weird cycle. Enjoy the carnival! I wish I was going.

@ELW85 I temped the other night, convinced it was morning then checked my clock at it was 3:30am 🙈 I'm not sure how accurate my readings will be! 😂

@LokiCat yeah I might go to my GP when I get to the 6month point. Not long now. I'm hoping it's just because I had the coil for so long and I'll be back to normal soon.

@Makingawish thanks for your message - definitely reassuring!

@Anny27 temp dreams every night! Does it ever stop?!

@Sunshine8888 sorry to hear about your long cycles. I read a good book recently called period power. It had loads of helpful advice about regulating cycles 💛

@Smwh1 welcome!

@ValidUser that sounds promising! Crossing my fingers for you!

@Smwh1 welcome to the jungle! ❤️

Ooh forgot to say TTC #1 😁

@MrsH497 thanks for the new thread!

@ValidUser that’s fantastic news! Have got everything crossed 🤞🏻

@Lemonysherbet ooh we have a week off soon too! Have you got anything planned?

@Sunshine8888 sorry you might have already answered this but are you prone to long cycles or have you recently come off BC?

@Smwh1 welcome 👋🏻 The ladies on here have a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to TTC so you are in the right place ☺️

Hope everyone has had a fab Monday ☺️

Hello to the new thread 👋🏻 😆

Age 24
CD12
Cycle 4
AF/BFP due 9th Sept

Thanks @Anny27 @cupcakesandglitter and @MrsR16! X
