TTC 1st Baby. Keep positive thread. Please join

Hey 👋🏼

Hope it’s ok if I tag along.

This is my 3rd month actively trying after having my endometriosis surgery, 1st month trying I had a chemical which was quite hard.

Currently 7dpo I think as I haven’t temped this month as loosing the will having to wake up at the exact same time every morning as my schedule is all over the place. Symptom spotting just now not had cramping or anything but really grassy and creamy cm. Hoping this month is the month x

@Makeafamily19 Totally. I really feel the pressure as my Mum was a fertile Mertyl all those years ago and my sister fell with my nephew on the second or third month of trying.

My Mum keeps saying not to worry about it and that I'm my Mother's daughter but you dont really know what's going on inside until you do know ... if that makes sense?

Thank you, same to you xx

@DaiJai1066 yes I totally see where you are coming from about the alcohol. I have decided to not drink mom - fri during tww but if I have. Social event to attend then i have three max.

This to me seems reasonable as some people can take years to conceive and if I'm one of them I don't want a shit two years lol nine months is enough if we actually get pregnant!!

I also know that so many people don't even know they're pregnant and their babies are fine. As long as once I know I'm pregnant I stop then I think moderate low drinking is fine

On a positive note my partner is making dinner!

I wish you all lots of luck!!! I’m not sure how to go about trying to conceive as in I don’t drink often but should I be stopping? Should I stop the occasional biscuit etc? I don’t want trying to conceive completely take over my life yet I want to live my life. Does anyone else feel the same? I have currently just started my two week wait although I’m not hopeful ☹️

@Makeafamily19 I know how you feel. I'm convinced there's something wrong I'm waiting for cycle 3 at the mo

Hi all!
TTC#1
31
Cycle 4 (cycle 2 of proper trying!)
CD2

@StephyRose I get what you mean about the pressure of falling fast. Not from other people, I just think I feel like if it doesn't happen fast then there must be something wrong. Even though I know that isn't always the case.

Positive thoughts!!

Sending you positive vibes Smiles..we can all do this together!

@SMiles14 that sounds tough 😔 sending you some really positive vibes!! 💜

Hello Ladies, in much need of some positivity during this process so wanted to join you all. I am 29, ttc #1, on cycle day 3 Today. On cycle 4 (I think) - Fell pregnant first month trying in April then had a MMC at 12 weeks in July. Been trying ever since but Aug - Sept was first normal cycle really. Very eager to make up for lost time and just be pregnant again already!
lots of luck to everyone!

Hi everyone, thought I’d jump on. I’ve came off my pill the end of May but feel like it’s taken an age for my cycle to settle down. This is my third cycle and I’m 7DPO. AF is due either sun/mon/tues, not sure which yet as my first cycle was 40 days and my second cycle was 25 days. Typically I’m 28 days regular so I’m hoping this will be my first month back to my usual cycle length. I plan to test on tues next week if no AF. No symptoms except some dull pains on my left side just above my hip today. They are a bit stabby and I’ve never had it before so fingers crossed for implantation and praying it’s not just trapped wind 😂.
My birthday is tomorrow and I’m hitting the dreaded fertility age of 35. Had hoped to be pregnant by now but I was definitely just kidding myself that we would come off the pill and get pregnant straight away, although I know it does happen for some people. Being on here has taught me heaps and has been incredibly reassuring.

Just realised I'm CD10 not 11 hahah oops

Hi,

This is 1st cycle TTC number 1 - last cycle we didn't actively try as such, rather just didn't prevent.

Trying to still be relaxed atm so just trying to DTD every other day at the moment, don't wanna jump into OPK's yet!

Currently on CD11 so hoping all goes well!

Sending baby dust to you all!

Eep I've got some pink CM 😊 10dpo today. I do sometimes get some spotting before AF (due 22nd) but it's usually darker, maybe brown. This is very light pink...
Only 4 days until Sunday at least 😆

Hey ladies, 9th cycle of ttc baby #2 here . Af due around the 21st, so cue me symptom spotting like crazy. Bfn this morning as I had a cheapy test spare and couldn't help myself haha. Baby #1 took 2.5 years of ttc, conceived after 6months of metformin for Pcos. May go back and speak to GP about starting again soon if it doesn't happen naturally this time xxx

I just purchased the clear blue advanced monitor I've heard so many good reviews online about it people seems to fall pregnant quite quickly after using so I'll let you know how that turns out! It arrives Friday which is a week before my next ovulation

Hi :)

I'm 23 and on 6 month of TTC.

Using the Femometer App along with their ovulation sticks- so helpful and accurate!!

Also taking pregnacare :)

I thought it was going to be easy to get pregnant :( feeling a bit rubbish!

Thanks for the warm welcome @MisssC3025
Trying to not get too obsessed too soon, just so very excited!!

@Lemonysherbet
We're due on the same day I've also been symptom spotting even though I shouldn't...fingers crossed!!

@HEY1256 I totally sympathise. This our first cycle of TTC and it has really consumed me. I've been a lot calmer today and am trying to be overall. I dont know why but I got really overwhelmed by the pressure to fall fast (one cycle #1!) and its ridiculous. It is supposed to be a happy time so thanks original poster because a positive thread is definitely needed.

Hi everyone, I'm 29. TTC baby #1, on Cycle #1 and 7DPO. AF is due on the 25th so I have just over a week to go. I bought a pack of two First Response Early tests today but I dont think I will use them early. If I am pregnant (which I dont think I am, zero symptoms whatsoever other than abnormally hormonal - putting it down to TTC stress though! Haha) that is amazing. Especially when we only DTD once as DP was tired on the actual day of Ovulation ... cue eyeroll.

But if not there is always next time... it will happen when it happens.

She says - on the first cycle! If we get to a year I might be singing a very different tune. :p

Happy trying everyone. Wishing baby dust to all!!
