TTC baby #1

Hi ladies . I’ve just finished my period today and my husband and I are now going to start ttc our first baby after having my Mirena removed last week.
Is anyone else TTC this month ? I’ve ordered some ovulation tests after I said I wouldn’t because I’ve read so many success stories on them so I thought I might as well just so I have some in case !

I’d love for people to share their journey with me ! I’m 24, 25 in two weeks . So excited for our journey . I’m trying to figure out this whole lingo on here and stuff sorry! X

@notalwaysalondoner I’m

notalwaysalondoner · 20/11/2019 17:42

Fingers crossed for you both @gemgem1404 and @Itsemily. It must be very frustrating to not know either way!

I’m 7dpo and have no symptoms at all... kind of the opposite to last month when I saw symptoms everywhere! I just feel like this month it hasn’t happened for some reason. And my temperatures were not in sync with my OPKs so I’m not completely sure when I’ll be able to test either. I’ve ordered some First Response tests so I can check on my birthday, but expect it will be to early to tell sadly.

gemgem1404 · 20/11/2019 16:15

I think I ovulated about 14/15 days ago based on EWCM so maybe I tested too soon with the internet cheapie tests at the weekend 🤔 gonna buy some more tests tomorrow I feel like we in similar boat @Itsemily waiting for af or bfp 🙏 hope we both get the BFP!!!

@Tiamo04 fingers crossed for you !!

My period still hasn’t arrived ! I had my coil removed in September , ovulated a few weeks before that according to a scan so I know I do ovulate . Had a period 21st October-25th , and was due my period this week. No signs at all yet but got a negative pregnancy test so I have no idea what’s going on ! We’ve just been DTD when we can , not sure when I ovulated as I’ve not tracked this month 😬🤭

Thank you @notalwaysalondoner
I'm officially on my 2ww now, but if I'm not pregnant this time I'll give them a try in case I'm not ovulating when I think that I am. We only tend to DTD on the weekends. I thought I ovulated on Sunday this time, but obviously I could be out by a couple of days which could mean we're missing the window. I'd genuinely never considered all of this before we started trying Blush

Tiamo04 · 19/11/2019 20:18

@itsemily
Hoping since I've been off for 8months that it'll happen soon :D

How's your journey going?

Babydust to you xx*

gemgem1404 · 19/11/2019 19:55

Still no AF for me considering getting a frer test on Thursday. I've been using cheapie tests up to now all negative 😞 getting frustrated!

@tiamo04 ah I’m happy for you ! I’m glad things are back to normal . Yeah my friend had the depo and it took her 10 months but then my cousin had it and she got pregnant in 3 months so it definitely varies ! You sound like you’re doing well , sending you lots of positive vibes !

Hey Everyone :)

I was on the depo shot for 6 months was suppose to go back for the next one on 1st of April 2019 but didn't... My partner and I are now TTC baby #1 for a month now... I'm 24 and he's 34... Started using ovulation kits a week ago and finally got a positive one today so fingers crossed that it happens this cycle as I've taken tests with the gynaecologist and everything is back to normal :) Just worried after reading so many stories about difficulties women faced TTC after depo :(

Sprinkling Baby dust to all of you xx*

notalwaysalondoner · 19/11/2019 17:20

I’m using these @CurbsideProphet

4M Crystal Growing Experimental Kit www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001G7P62S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

They’re easy and although I didn’t see a line way darker than the control line (probably because I’m only testing once a day so might have missed it), the 3 or so days before and after ovulation there was no line at all so I’m pretty confident about them.

Lea84TTC · 19/11/2019 17:19

Thank you everyone.

I took the Boots conception tablets. I used femometer OPK strips, app and thermometer. I also completely come off all caffeine and no alcohol.

I’ve got a doctors appointment booked on Tuesday next week. I’m hoping he doesn’t tell me I’m wrong.

CurbsideProphet · 19/11/2019 13:43

Fingers crossed for you Lea.

I take folic acid and am wondering if I should be taking one of those pre conception vitamins too.

Please could one of you link to the OPK you are using? My cycle is generally regular, but I'm debating whether to try using to check. Though as they aren't 100% I don't know if it would just confuse me!

Lea84TTC · 19/11/2019 10:27

I did temping and OPK packs and tried to take a more relaxed approach. Taken conception tablets for about 12 weeks already. Feel sicky this morning and had an upset stomach. The lines are darker today so fingers crossed the baby dust sticks x

@Lea84TTC have you got any tips ?!

@han2291 thanks Han that’s nice of you . Still no AF today , I don’t mind if it comes I just want to know where I am with everything :( when the really sore boobs started I thought well it must be AF as that happened last month . So I was kind of relieved but nope , still a no show !

@Lea84TTC congratulations girly!!! So so so excited for you! I actually thought to myself- I think I’m going to have to trawl through your messages on here to see how you did it so I can get in on some of that baby dust aha.

Enjoy your exciting news x

han2291 · 19/11/2019 00:54

@Itsemily I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you ☺️

han2291 · 19/11/2019 00:53

I’m so confused as well ladies . Still no AF and I’m producing white discharge which I never usually do. My breasts are so incredibly sore but I did a test this afternoon (although I had drank quite a bit) and it was negative . I’m on CD29 today . If AF doesn’t appear by Friday I’m testing again !

JEMMA18 · 18/11/2019 16:28

@gemgem1404 oh gosh it's so confusing isnt it. I just want to know. I took a test an hour ago and it was a bfn so I guess its either too early or maybe I should do it in the morning to be sure.

gemgem1404 · 18/11/2019 14:50

@Lea84TTC congratulations 😄
@JEMMA18 no my only symptoms are massive mood swings and slightly sore boobs I had cramps over the weekend but they've gone now so who knows what's going on 🙈

CurbsideProphet · 18/11/2019 14:01

More good news I should say Smile

CurbsideProphet · 18/11/2019 13:58

My period hasn’t arrived this morning , still got very very sorry boobs but no other symptoms . Not sure whether to test tomorrow ? I know I tested the other day and it was negative but maybe that was too early and I also didn’t use first morning urine .

@Lea84TTC yay!! 💕🥳

Lea84TTC · 18/11/2019 11:20

Sore nipples from when I ovulated! Mood swings and more CM. I have had other symptoms on and off. But from what I can work out it’s a positive x
