First month of ttc

Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

@Pink15 Yeh I do agree that anyone could catch it in the UK just as much. I’ve got health conditions so the thought of being away from home scares me.

Sitchervice · 11/03/2020 12:57

@pink15 I'm pretty sure they've said it's only older people it effects. But either way I've hear that cyprus are isolating UK citizens now :( so no good for my holiday. I guess I can relax now though I know what's happening

Pink15 · 11/03/2020 12:25

I think we can get it just as much in Uk as abroad. I'm not concerned about it for myself but they don't know effect on the babies yet!

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 10:35

@Sitchervice I’m also due to go on holiday in the first week of April to the Canary Islands so I’m a bit worried about that.

Sitchervice · 11/03/2020 08:47

@1987Nic I'm not scared of Covid-19. But I am supposed to go on holiday to Cyprus on the 22nd of April. I found out yesterday they are isolating people from UK so I don't think I'll be able to go. This stress isn't helping ttc at all

1987Nic · 11/03/2020 07:45

@Pink15 I can definitely can see something, super excited for you. X

Jessmary94 · 11/03/2020 07:42

I can see the line on that test! Congratulations xx

Dee925 · 11/03/2020 06:55

I’m also 4 days before AF

Dee925 · 11/03/2020 06:55

I just took the early detection test. And the result looks exactly the same as your test. A faint positive.

Pink15 · 11/03/2020 06:35

@1987Nic same I'm worried about coronavirus!!
What do you think? This is 4 days before AF due.
I couldn't get a phot yesterday but is a bit clearer today

First month of ttc
1987Nic · 10/03/2020 22:41

Would be nice if it was a good sign. I’m actually getting really scared about this Coronavirus and trying for a baby at the same time. Lots of good luck for your test tomorrow, I’m trying so hard to wait until af is due. xx

Pink15 · 10/03/2020 22:10

@1987Nic that sounds promising!! 🤞I always get sore boobs about 4 days before my period not really nipple pain though. Apparently it's from the progesterone.

I was kinda constipated today and thought I saw a super faint line on a test when I held it up to my phone light but I relooked when I got home and it's disappeared - probably an evap line. Will test Again tomorrow xx

1987Nic · 10/03/2020 21:56

@Pink15 I don’t usually get nipple pain however did get the worst pain when I came off the pill. When does your boob pain usually start? My boobs look really full and I keep getting nipple pain, it’s hard to not think I could be pregnant when I keep getting symptoms ha.

@primrose2020 shorter cycles are better mean you ovulate like 3 times more in a year then people with 32 day cycles (like me) Haha bf has been called into work 😥 not going to get round to it tonight I think I'm going to miss it even if I manage to dtd tomorrow and Thursday I'm not going to have much luck with doing it twice 😫 xxx

@1987Nic I always get boob pain before AF but that's just my normal pms. I've heard nipple pain is the commonest early pregnant symptom though! Do you have it? 😀

1987Nic · 10/03/2020 20:54

Has anyone else been experiencing nipple pain in their tww? X

1987Nic · 10/03/2020 18:31

I use the clear blue tests and it tells you when to start testing depending on how long your cycle is. I had a withdrawal bleed 28 days after I came off the pill and then 32 days after. I didn’t start using ovulation tests until I had my first period, I also use the Ovia app too.

Dee925 · 10/03/2020 17:55

I feel so confused. My dp and I had sex around the time of ovulation. Everyday before the day of, according to my tracker app. And now I’m 5 days away from AF and have had a few occasions of a metallic taste in my mouth.. had to stop drinking my hot drinks as it tasted so bad. So I decided to do a early detection test which was negative. But will try again in the morning as I took the first one this afternoon. Also my breast feel quite sore and just heavy. But I don’t know if I am overthinking it and imagining this as I want it to result in a positive test. Hufff.

primrose2020 · 10/03/2020 17:23

@abby25 nothing like replacing something that's stressful with something else that's stressful 😂 decorating sounds exciting though!

I was way out on my cycles so I actually have a 24 day cycle and think I ovulate around day 10/11 which was thurs/Friday. Had EWCM on Thursday but Husband was away Friday morn for the weekend so only managed to DTD on weds and Thursday, so don't think I'm in with much luck.

No idea what a shorter cycle means for fertility either, will it be harder to conceive... god knows!

Littlepeas2 · 10/03/2020 17:14

Good luck!!!! @abby25

@Littlepeas2 wait another 3 months

Littlepeas2 · 10/03/2020 09:46

@Sitchervice oh that’s so frustrating!! So what was their advice for you from now on?

@primrose2020 @abby25 what cycle days are you on girls? I’m entering my FW tomorrow. Just trying to remain chilled about it!

Sitchervice · 10/03/2020 08:28

@primrose2020 I don't think doctors can ever tell you when you'll ovulate. She couldn't even tell me if I will ever ovulate again.
