TTC first baby thread 24

@Kiza haha I cant believe I got your boobs mixed up - had a 50/50 chance of getting it right as well. Ah ok, tbh I was happy with the everything is fine when it comes to him so I am guessing it is something my side causing the issue so would rather they give me more in depth info regarding my results. Sorry to hear it was a BFN, what CD are you?

@rathernotshare haha is it a white thong?

@whatsthecraic91ah thats an idea. I dont think we have anything to be concerned about his end so he can get in touch if he wants to know- lol!

@Posycat19 welcome to the thread, sorry to hear you have been on such a long journey- a lot of us here are in a similar boat so theres loads of experience and the ladies are just so supportive!

@KrissyMB how long has it been since you had your coil removed?

Hello and welcome @Factualmistakes and @Wearyandfeelingold 👋🏻

Morning ladies! Cd8 today and DTD this morning which was spontaneous and a pleasant change from the structured every other day schedule we usually keep to haha!

@whatsthecraic91 any signs of ovulation yet?

@CoalCraft yeah will be interesting to see what the first cycle is like!

@kiza ahhh sorry about bfn:( whens AF due?
P.s yes I added an extra n haha. Not sure why, people i know might read the threads and put together that i am trying and also know the status of my cervical mucus 🤣🤣 not sure another n really adds anonymity haha

@Factualmistakes thank you for the welcome. Yes it is nice to have others to talk to who are on the same journey. Trying to relax about it....but easier said than done.....Lol! Hope all goes well for you.

Welcome @Wearyandfeelingold
Women are having babies much later these days, so although it may take a little while longer, try to relax and not worry too much about it for the time being.
Only my closest friend knows we are trying but it is nice to have others to talk to about it apart from my DH.
I don't have any advice or tips yet as only at the start of my journey, but I am sure some of the other lovely ladies will help.

@Factualmistakes haha my husband would love that arrangement, I don't think he wants me to get pregnant right away so he can make the most of it 😂 totally agree it's odd, I always thought my first child would be an 'accident' based on how poor I was at taking the pill... but here we are!!

Hi everyone,
Can I join too? DH and I have been TTC our first for a few months and this is the first month I have used Clearblue advanced digital ovulation kit. You always think "oh maybe this month" so I have tried not to think too much about it in the TWW but I can tell that AF is on its way. Anyway nobody knows that we are trying and it would be nice to have some support here and help each other. I keep thinking that we have left it too late - I am 39 and DH is 42 and every month just get so disappointed. I am on Folic Acid + Vitamin D....just wondered if any of you have any tips/suggestions on what might help us? Thank you.

Got a pack of OPK tests and tested for 4 days in a row this weekend. After a couple of faint lines I finally got a good solid line yesterday. 1 day out from my predicted day according to my app so glad to know it's not too far out. DTD every other day for the past week though - DH very happy with the arrangement I know we would be very lucky to fall on the first go given my age (34) but it's a strange feeling being on the 2WW bus for the first time.
Anyone else feel weird when they first started trying? I mean, it's an exciting time but I've spent probably 18 years trying not to get pregnant and now it's the opposite haha.

Hope everyone's Tuesday is going well.

@KrissyMB sorry to hear, how long have you been waiting? I'm in the same position, trying not to worry myself but it's not working!

Sorry that should be "no wonder" not "no answer"

Well, normally I'd have taken the first pill of a new packet today but... I didn't So today's the first day that something has actually gone out of the ordinary for my pill-accustomed body. I'm kinda curious about how it's all going to go now; I barely even remember what my natural cycle is like lol

@KrissyMB That must be frustrating, no answer it's getting you down :( How long has it been since you had the coil out?

Getting frustrated ladies. Coil removed but period not returned. Tested today and bfn:(

So poas this morning and obviously it was a bfn, 🤦🏼‍♀️ painful boobs have now downgraded to just tender (usual pms for me) so going to try and just jump straight out of bed to work this week to prevent me testing again!

@Annny27 have you added an extra N to your username? It's weird as your name usually comes up green for me but today it's purple, or are there 2 Anny's? 😊
@rathernotshare taking a hpt usually does the trick for me!

@Posycat19 welcome to the group, there's a few of us who have been trying for a while and some at the beginning of their journey. It's a lovely supportive and informative group of ladies here. It's ironic how you look back on life and we were taught that if you just look at a penis you will fall pregnant! Was your IUI via the nhs or private?

I definitely miss read the title! Sending you all lots of luck... ❤️

No need to be sorry @littlepeas2 wasnt sure whether you had misread the title haha! Hope your 3rd baby comes quickly for you aswell 💗💗

Oh I’m so sorry 🤦🏼‍♀️

@littlepeas2 you are more than welcome to stick around but this is a thread for first babies so you may feel better placed elsewhere 💗💗 I think theres a ttc second/3rd baby threads on the conception page. Goodluck with your journey!

Hey @coalcraft ! I fell at 21 with my first little girl and she was a surprise! Then I fell with my second daughter quite quickly. But she’s almost 6 and I’m now 31 so things have changed!! My cycle is also different to what it was before as well so I’m
Wondering if it will be more of a wait this time! Are you TTC your first baby?

@Littlepeas2 Welcome! How was your TTC experience with your first two? Hope number 3 comes along for you soon

Hi ladies! Would you mind me joining? I’m
31 and TTC baby number 3. I’m on cycle 2 day 14. Still waiting for ovulation! Thought it would be nice to have some people
To talk to on this journey :)

@rathernotshare Yup, clearly time to bring out the big guns; go buy those expensive lacy nickers!!

@Posycat19 Welcome, so sorry you've been waiting so long and completely understand feeling isolated by it all. It helps so much being on here as otherwise lots of us would have no one to talk to about it except partners. Really hope you get some good news soon xx

Hi ladies, would it be okay to join? I’m 35 ttc no.1 for 15 months now. No joy yet. We’ve tried three cycles of iui, acupuncture and all the lifestyle advice although we’re both fit, healthy and eat well. I’m cd25 today of what’s become a 27 cycle. It’s shortened from 29/30 since we started trying. No idea why but I used a opk earlier to see if there was anything. Got a faint line which probably means nothing and wasn’t helpful to do.

Lots of my friends are on their second and third. No one has ever let on to me that it wasn’t as easy as clicking your fingers and I’m just getting a bit jaded of it with no one to talk to about for a reality check or encouragement! I don’t feel like I can even say it to my sister who has three or to my mum. Learning that TTC can be a pretty lonely experience. I could relate to lots of your messages - I’ve my fingers crossed for all of you now.

So much to catch up on!

@Lozzlepop yea DPs doctor said all good. So he asked for a print out and picked it up from the surgery, they won't email as its confidential info - so annoying 😕

@Lottiepink my GP and the Dr who done the private scan both said to us that too much can have negative effect! So we are doing every 3rd day this cycle!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and Monday!
Had a great day, work is so busy and I am loving it!! Time for a glass of red now 🍷😊

@CoalCraft @Lozzlepop @Kiza

Nope no AF 😂 white sheets and a thong, what's her issue?! I may have to buy some lingerie to entice it!

@kiza whenever my ovulation is later, my AF comes 14 days after so same length luteal phase!
