First month of ttc

Ah sorry you didn’t ge your positive this time @Mc3209 .. fingers crossed for next time!

Since having my coil out on Monday, I’ve been on my period... again (last one only finished on the 27th jan) so I’m not making much progress at all 😂 just need my body to start playing ball now!

Have any of you got any cute ideas in mind for telling your OH when the time comes?

@abby25 I told myself I'd wait until next Saturday but now I'm thinking next Wed or Thurs just in case!

@abby25 my app says 5DPO but if going by my ovulation tests then maybe only 4? I don't know why but I'm just not feeling positive for this month.

@mc3209 I hope so. Gonna try forget about it for a little while, enjoy date night tonight with a bottle of red - haven't drank for a month as keep telling myself I'm preg. Hope you girls get your bfps soon!

@Elley2912 Sore boobs is a good sign from what I read! Mine are being their usual selves. Just the crazy mood swings.

@Katbaby I hope your cycle stabilises soon. Pill is notorious for throwing things out of sync.

Hey hope you don't mind if i join, been a lurker for a couple of weeks. Me and hub started ttc end December. Came off pill mid December had withdrawal until christmas day. Currently cd56 with no signs of period and spent about 30 quid on prego tests just to get bfn after bfn 😢 didn't wanna get too obsessive with it straight away but should of known better 😩

@mc3209 my boobs have been sooo sore today. I'm the same.... don't know if it's just early PMS. I don't usually get it this early though!

I was a foul mood today. And nearly burst into tears at work, which is so not me. Don't know if it's early days of PMS or a sign of something more positive.

@mc3209 I'm sorry! Why do we do these things to ourselves? I've promised myself I won't test until next Saturday at the earliest! I bet I won't last!

BFN. As expected, but was hoping for a miracle to be honest. Next few days will be the longest in history of humankind..

@mc3209 excited for you! Keep us updated!

Remember how I said that I will not test until my AF is due and I will behave well and hold off for as long as I can?
Well, sod it. I will start testing today. Watched too many of those 'progression' thingies online. Expecting today's one to be negative..

@Ughmaybenot @tfc90 I know! I keep telling my husband I don't understand how people get pregnant by accident because the window is so much smaller than I'd ever really appreciated before haha. Fingers crossed for us all!

I only came off my pill in December and had my withdrawal bleed in Jan. Hoping this month is back to normal for me but who knows?!

@TFC90 that’s exactly it!! I know I’ll feel the same if (when, probably) I don’t get a positive straight away 😂 daft isn’t it? And I keep telling myself it’ll likely not happen straight away but I know I’ll still be disappointed. What a game.

@Elley2912 According to the app and BBT it's 11 dpo, according to the opk sticks I'm about 13/14 dpo but I think I have a short luteus phase generally. Hard to say as I've only been off the pill for two complete cycles.

@Ughmaybenot I know right!?!! Honestly our first month of unprotected I couldn't fathom why I wasn't pregnant! I knew it was unlikely but also I've trained myself over the years to believe I'd immediately get pregnant if we didn't use protection!!!! It's mental

Thank you! Fingers crossed for everyone 😊 still feels weird to have gone ten(ish) years trying desperately NOT to get pregnant and now, all of a sudden, that’s the goal

@TFC90 how many DPO are you now?

@parksb I'm starting my TWW today or tomorrow I think. I know I'll be crazy by the end of it!

@Ughmaybenot welcome! Wishing you luck! Hope it doesn't take too long for any of us!

Can I join? 👋🏻 had my copper coil taken out on Monday, and going to give this TTC a bash. My cycle is super irregular so we’re just going to go for it and hope for the best 😂 fingers crossed eh!
I’m 26, nearly, DH is 27, got married last summer. Probably left it longer than I should’ve, ive health conditions and chronic illnesses which meant the doctors were telling me probably four or five years ago to crack on if I wanted kids but I wanted the timing to be right... let’s hope it is now!

I have joined because I am currently in the 2WW and I am STRUGGLING. I'm trying to hold off on doing a test until Monday but it's so hard to distract yourself. We tried properly and tracked ovulation but I've had no symptoms yet other than slight cramping so not holding too much hope!

Hi! It's my third month of being off the pill but our first proper month of trying with OPK ICs etc.

My Flo app thinks I ovulated one day due to BBT chart but my sticks told another story. So I either ovulated on CD16, 17 or 19! The last couple of months off the pill I've had a 26 day cycle and AF was due Monday but still nothing other than a bit of spotting this morning.

I've done about 5 tests so far this week, all negative so I was all ready to jump on the March bus.... now I've convinced myself the spotting is implantation bleeding so this evening I raced to make something for a pregnancy announcement to my hubby. Without getting a BFP hah!

I'm going to test again tomorrow but my hopes are far too high!

@Mc3209 I'm off alcohol completely during the TWW and thankfully I don't like coffee unless it's the Irish kind!

@juno231 good luck! Me and my OH started off thinking we would just see what happened for a few months but as the days have gone by this month we both realised we really want it to happen more than we thought!
