Hi guys

Not sure about anyone else but i have found that that i have tried posting on various threads and sometimes your own post gets really lost which can be slightly disheartening. I thought i would start this thread for anyone who has just started their TTC journey and together we can share our thoughts and experiences.... i do ask that (not to be mean) that this thread is only for people who have just started their TTC journey to avoid disappointment for people who are way into their journey and who may be experiencing different things. My own story is that i came of the pill in September and have yet to get my BFP. I got my first positive on Saturday just gone and now im 1dpo. Be great to hear from anyone in a similiar boat! Xx

@jenna30 To be fair, I have a suspicion that message boards like this might skewer perspectives on how long it takes -- people leave the boards when they're successful and many probably forget to even say they've had a BFP...
Says me, in month 1 Hmm

Hi @jenna30 i feel the exact same as you. Glad im not on my own. I came off the pill the end of september so we are fairly similar. I haven't been using OPKs or anything yet. Took a relaxed approach this cycle and basically just enjoyed DTD. Think i ovulated today. Glad i have someone to share the TWW with haha.

Congratulations @NCON on the wedding. A BFP would be a great wedding present for you 😁

Fingers crossed for you @EithneBlue. I have heard its very possible in month one.

We all seem very close in our cycles. Hopefully we can keep each other going. I had said i wouldnt stress this cycle but now that i have ovulated im already researching again!! I dont plan on testing until i am late though. Which wont be til 4th January!!

@jenna30 Aww I didn't realise - so reassuring when someone is in sync with your cycle (as weird as that sounds haha) Oh I'm not so sure, I'm counting down the days already. Didn't think I'd get this obsessed so early on in my journey 😄 Keep us posted X

Hi @fioney25 of course you can . I guess we are both on the same dpo! Thats really positive about your periods being quite regular which surprisingly is the same for me too. Hopefully you have more patience than me during this TWW 😅. X

@NCON congratulations (wedding news) how exciting and now onto the next step (babies). We are all quite early i guess into our journey so would be great if we can support each other and just really share our experiences.

Heyy! Is it okay for me to join too?

Came off the mini pill in June after 10 years, fell straight back into regular cycles ever since - so lucky!
TTC for the 1st time this month. Currently on 1DPO and heading into my first TWW! Haven't used opk, just been tracking the last 6 months on an app so let's see what happens! :). Fingers crossed for you ladies 💘 xx

@NCON @EithneBlue hi girlies... thanks for joining the thread. Looks like we all started trying around the same time. This whole ttc business is quite hard isn't it? I was so naive to think it would happen so easily but no one tells you before that it can take awhile. Also, from reading some of the other threads its quite daunting when you hear how long it is taking some of the girls. I know you shouldn't compare but its hard not to over think. Are you guys feeling the same? Obsessive thoughts/symptom spotting? I hope you both get a BFP soon and not so far away. X

Hey, I'll join you for company! TTC #1 -- I'm 3DPO now so just chilling in the 2WW ready to test over Christmas. I came off the pill in early October but this is my first month really trying. I think I'll be cool with the 2WW until the end of term on Friday (I'm a teacher) but then a bit worried I won't have enough to distract me from becoming an obsessive test lunatic. I keep telling myself it never happens in month 1, but also keep hoping it does!

NCON · 16/12/2019 22:46

Hi @Jenna30, I'm TTC #1 married in late Oct so only started trying since then, ovulation would have happened b4 the wedding so only on cycle 2. Currently 4days DPO, first month using OPK's and temping so nice to know a more exact estimate of when I ovulated but this TWW is seeming endless already!

How u finding TTC?
