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

@peachypetite thanks lovely 😊
I have everything crossed for you!!! 🤞🏻 Xx

Wow @Vikki90 that’s amazing, congrats to you.
I’ve had a little break from here due to a really busy period at work.
Currently in my fertile peak and been dtd lots with OH so fingers crossed for me this month could be the one.

@AutumnCat I get that. It's hard when people announce it IRL but I am so happy for everyone on here who has got their BFP - it is different isn't it!

I was at the doctors the other day for something else and the nurse told me not to worry and to continue DTD every other day. The problem is that I have no idea when I ovulate (I'm trying not to use OPK's for the moment as we didn't want the pressure of timing it properly and I get different dates on different apps) and so I'm not sure when to stop. It sounded like a good idea to DTD every other day but honestly, I'm worn out!!

Vikki90 · 04/03/2020 17:46

@Lucy5546 aww brilliant that you have had the scan, think I won’t feel really pregnant until I see baby in there! Yeah I get that, I will keep an eye out as well on the group and hope for more announcements 🤞🏻 I feel really bloated today, not sure if it’s a symptom or just my over eating from the weekend ha!
@AutumnCat bless you lovely, I had really long cycles too (42 day average) so don’t give up hope and I personally think I was ovulating after day 30 so try and keep going until the very end (that’s what we did this last month and I think that’s what’s done the trick) x

AutumnCat · 04/03/2020 16:15

I'm just fed up. Another pregnancy announcement from a friend and I made DH text back for me as I just couldnt find any nice words. Of course I'm pleased for her but I'm worried about my long and unpredictable cycles and I know it hasn't been long but I'm just stressed and disheartened today. Sorry to interrupt, and it's good to see lots of lovely news here (somehow it's fine when it's not IRL!)

Lucy5546 · 04/03/2020 16:00

@Vikki90 if you are anything like me it will take a while to sink in. Im good. Never really had any sickness. Just queasy but that made me worry more. Had my scan last week so im 13 weeks today and its still sinking in!! I have been fairly quite on these threads since i found out to be honest. But i check back every now and again to see how everyone is!!

Vikki90 · 04/03/2020 15:54

@lucy5546 thanks so much 😊 starting to sink in now!! ❤️
How are you getting along? When are you due? Forgive me if you have already said, I get so confused with where everyone is! Xx

Lucy5546 · 04/03/2020 15:29

@Vikki90 congratulations. Great news. Welcome to the club! Hoping everything goes ok over the next few months for you!!

Vikki90 · 02/03/2020 20:05

@Jenna30ttc aw well this is good, especially if you can work out when your ovulating (something I always struggled with) no just late, but today woke up and felt sick and felt different today (maybe it’s because I know) but just feel different. So literally just a tiny bit of spotting and then AF didn’t arrive. Clear blue said I conceived 2-3 week ago so I am only 5 weeks. My friend said her symptoms landed week 7. Xx

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 19:48

@Starburst12 so exciting. Let us know how you get on x

Starburst12 · 02/03/2020 19:44

@EithneBlue that’s exactly what I thought! No one else’s opinion matters, I know what feels right for me Smile

Starburst12 · 02/03/2020 19:43

@Jenna30ttc I think it’ll help to just go with the flow. Pressure on TTC also makes it less enjoyable! Sex is boring when it’s like a chore.
First scan is 27th March but thinking of having early scan on 14th xx

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 19:22

@Starburst12 and I meant morning sickness 😂 my typos are terrible today! Sorry girls.

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 19:21

@Vikki90 sorry I meant after expected af? 😂

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 19:20

@Starburst12 thank you. I'm fine I haven't been as down as I was a cycle or two ago so I guess im just going with the flow and not having high expectations. Oh dear your MN must be really bad. I hope the anti sickness tablets help you. When is your first scan? Sorry if I have missed this.

@EithneBlue get bd'ing lol. Thank you.

@Vikki90 so i didn't speak to the drs for the results it was the receptionist 😂 who gave me them. Usually if it's bad news they tell you too book in with the drs. But because everything came back normal there wasn't any other feedback. But I have been opk testing and it came up positive last month so I'm sure I must've ovulated and since the results came back all normal I assume I'm all okay. I guess now if it doesn't happen within 1 year I'll go back to the drs as they usually say to go and see them after the 1 year mark. This is my 5th cycle so awhile to go yet. I usually ovulate according to my app and opk testing on cd15. So we will see. Awh lets us know how you get on. Also did you get any obvious symptoms before missed af? Or after af? X

EithneBlue · 02/03/2020 18:48

@Vikki90 OMG! Congratulations! :-) That is awesome :-)

@starburst12 It doesn't really matter what other people think, does it? If you can afford a scan, why not?!

@Jenna30ttc - glad to hear all was normal :-)

I cracked and did an OPK, CD12 positive just like clockwork... best get onto DTD!

Vikki90 · 02/03/2020 18:44

@Starburst12 fingers crossed! Aww no it’s not, I would like the peace of mind too. I think the next few weeks are going to be a nerve wrecking time for me. I just hope the scan is fast and keep telling myself if I am 5 weeks now it’s only another 6 to go...xx

Starburst12 · 02/03/2020 16:52

@Jenna30ttc I’m so pleased they came back normal. That must be a relief! Hopefully it means your time is soon! How are you feeling?
I’m not too bad thank you! Going to my gp this week for some antisickness tablets, MW concerned I’m at risk of dehydration from morning sickness.

@vikki90 hopefully your mw can book you for your scan just before Easter! Some people think it’s pointless for me to have a scan 2 weeks before my NHS one but I need the reassurance and it just means I’ll have more pictures xx

Vikki90 · 02/03/2020 16:08

@Jenna30ttc thanks lovely 😘 and I am pleased your results came back good! This is brilliant. Will they be able to tell you when you ovulate? I am pretty sure I ovulated over day 30 as I had long cycles so if you have similar keep going right until the end!

@Starburst12 awww I didn’t even think about doing that! I am so impatient so I bet time drags for me to! I am hoping I can get booked in before Easter which I work out to be just short of 12 weeks! Eeeek. Xx

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 15:36

@Starburst12 hi lovely! I did indeed. Everything came back normal which is good. How are you? X

Starburst12 · 02/03/2020 15:23

@Jenna30ttc How are you doing? Have you got your results yet xx

Starburst12 · 02/03/2020 15:22

@Vikki90 oh, I definitely hope you don’t get morning sickness!! Im going to probably get an early Private scan at 10 weeks because 12 weeks seems too far away. I’m currently 8+5 using my last AF date! Time is going sooo slowly haha. It’s like a super long TWW xxx

Jenna30ttc · 02/03/2020 14:43

@Vikki90 omg! Congratulations! That's amazing news. So happy for you. And here we were talking about you speaking to your drs about blood tests etc. Xx

Vikki90 · 02/03/2020 14:34

@wednesdayspinner thanks so much! 😃 It’s crazy, I was so convinced I wasn’t! Fingers crossed for more positivities this next month! It’s nice to see people in the group getting there positives xxx

WednesdaySpinner · 02/03/2020 14:21

@vikki90 massive congratulations!!!!!!!!! I'm so pleased for you!
