First month of ttc

@abby25 I honestly had the same conversation with my Husband.. he didn't know about ovulation or anything, just that periods come monthly!! But now he's too clued up and won't let me buy tests yet cause he knows it's too early, probably a good thing I would have tested already without him and only about 5/6 DPO 😂

Hi @pineapple2 I'm 6dpo and so is @abby25 I think! Welcome!

Hello ladies. Can I join please..
I'm 6dpo...anyone else at 6dpo.?
Good luck to all

@abby25 you are not out until AF arrives.

@Elley2912 Creamy CM is supposed to be good.

I am feeling a bit all over the shop with random symptoms. Yesterday had lower belly cramps, just like AF-is-coming cramps. Those are gone today, but I am feeling a bit off coffee and generally a bit nauseated. Not sure what's going on.

I had to come off some medication to try and get pregnant so planned everything as carefully as possible to try and get minimal amount of time off meds.
I started Ovulation sticks 6 months before so I knew exactly what was going on. I got fit for 6 months, took conception vitamins, ate well, minimised alcohol etc. I got pregnant first month.
Did the same when ready for second child and again got pregnant first month. So it can happen.

I know this is TMI but a weird thing happened today. I went to the bathroom thinking AF arrived early (not due until 24th) but when I got there realised my underwear was very wet (like if I could have changed I would have kind of wet). I've never experienced anything like this before. Everything I read gives wetness as a sign of fertile period but I had my positive OPK nearly a week ago. Very strange.

Some people feel ovulation, I am not one of them. And even if I did feel something I would probably be blaming it on a stuck fart or something 😜
I am using Ovia to track.

Hi all,

Can you get pains when you are ovulating?

Also what apps are best to use when TTC?

@Elley2912 I love your positivity!

@mc3209 is it bad that the drowning your sorrows option sounds more appealing

@primrose2020 welcome to the madness!

Thankfully the work has been busy in the past few days (and will be for the next few days) for me, so that helps not to obsess. Next weekend we are going away to Paris as a weekend getaway, so it will either be a celebration or (more likely) I will be drowning my sorrows in red wine and soft cheese.

Hi Everyone!

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and decided to join if you'll have me!

This is our first month TTC, we got married 6 months ago and I had my implant removed start of Jan. I think I ovulated maybe Monday or Tuesday so I'm in the dreaded wait time and honestly I never thought I'd be this obsessed. Want to buy tests already!!!

Congratulations @TFC90!!

Is anyone doing anything to distract themselves and prevent insanity?!? xx

@TFC90 I was hoping to avoid doing ov checks as didn't want to get too into it too soon but I should of known I'd spend my days symptom spotting. Especially since If I had 28 day cycles before pill I'd technically be 28 days late for period .

Went to see the doc around Cd46 and she said it was normal and just to test once every 2 weeks until either bfp or af shows up. tested yesterday cd55 to a bfn on frer so think it's unlikely I've even ov'd yet. Had a feeling I wasn't preg even before test but thought I'd better check before I crack open the red wine tonight!

Oh congratulations @TFC90 that’s so exciting!!

@abby25 I am 9DPO today, started testing a little early.

@Katbaby Thank you! I've been off the pill for 3 months now, first cycle we just DTD around the middle of the cycle, second cycle we did the same but I started charting BBT mid cycle and we went by the fertile days on the app. This third cycle, I started using OPK, just the internet cheapie ones and did them from CD6 until I got a strong line on CD16. According to my BBT app though, it thinks I ovulated CD19 🤷.

The only natural cycle I had was the middle month which had a 26 day cycle. Going by this AF was due Monday 10th Feb and I got the FRER BFP on CD 14. I only did internet cheapie tests before that and they were all negative. Trouble is I know the chances of chemical pregnancy diminish one week after your period due date but since I only had one cycle I don't know when that is!

Congrats @TFC90! Did you find that your first cycle was pretty normal did you dtd in first cycle to try or wait til second?

@Elley2912 that was me exactly! I made it before I found out! I had my suspicions after what I decided was implantation bleeding on Wednesday so I rushed to get it done before he came home that night!!

I'm feeling like my stomach is churning. I'm sure it's too early for morning sickness when the internet cheapie tests are only showing squinters.

I'm just waiting for a bleed and chemical pregnancy, feels too good to be true!

FRER is a brand of test - First Response, Early Result. It can detect tiny levels of HCG, the best on the market!

@tfc90 that's amazing! Congratulations!! How are you feeling? I'm probably being stupid but what's FRER? I was actually looking online at those kind of things for our dog! It feels premature to be anything but I know I'll be annoyed if it happens and I'm not prepared!

@Elley2912 I've made this for our 5 month pup to wear! I got a BFP on FRER yesterday AM, PM and this morning. Waiting for the other brands to get stronger lines before I tell him!!!
