TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

@LMA27 I did the legs in the air thing once, oh thought I was mad haha. I tend to just stay lying down/hold off going to the toilet for 10 mins or so

@msunflower EPU is the early pregnancy unit. Hopefully all the supplements will help me eventually have a sticky bean 🤞

@LMA27 welcome to another TWW now 😂

@LMA27 yeah some months it’s really painful 🙈😂 it’s like there is a dull throbbing pain in your side for a whole day, like a twisting throbbing horrible but at least when I get it I know I’m ovulating!
I usually put a hard pillow under my hips and lay like that for 20 mins or so, then just go to sleep if it’s night time. I do often think how can any of it stay inside me when this much comes out?! 🙈😂

@LMA27 I do the sticking legs in the air for a few mins then feel like a weirdo and go to the loo and laugh at myself for sticking my legs in the air 🤣

@Stabal no need to count the hours anymore the deed is done 😂🤞🏼

@Pippy20 I’m so sorry about your miscarriage I can’t even imagine what that is like, really hope you get a BFP soon and the happy ending you deserve x

@msunflower I didn’t realise the chances of conceiving were that low 🙈 I’ll try not to think about that too much haha

@Faith82 I’ve never heard of mittelschmerz, Is it painful? I’m 31 and OH is 35. He has a son from when he was 23.

@Tiff94 I’m on TTC baby no1 too, this is my 3rd cycle and I’m currently (according to the clear blue opk) at peak ovulation, or was this morning anyway. I haven’t told anyone we’re trying either.

I do have a question for all you ladies though, and I’m sorry if it’s TMI but I’m so curious. After you have DTD what do you do, do you stick your legs in the air or not bother? how long do you wait to stand / go the toilet? Does anyone feel absolutely insane sticking legs in the air after sex as it just makes the situation funny to me 😂 x

@Stabal got to admit, I've not heard of half of those but if they are suggested for PCOS then 🤞🏻 they work for you! I've been taking pregnacare for quite a long time whilst we were on the fence about ttc or not. I see some people say it messes with their cycles but I've not had any side effects. What is EPU?

@msunflower agnus castus, myo-inositol, coq10, folic acid and vitamin d spray. I have PCOS though so wouldn't recommend taking the agnus castus or myo-inositol without talking to a doctor if you've not been diagnosed with anything gynae related. EPU told me to take the vitamin d and coq10 after my miscarriage in May.

@Tiff94 if I don't get a BFP this month I'm thinking of using OPKS and trying the sperm meets eggs method (SMEM). Currently I'm using Clue app. How are you tracking your cycles?

@Faith82 yes I’m 38. Ttc my first. Slightly concerned by everything I’ve read about how long it can take but hoping it won’t be too long.

@msunflower we started last month but no luck for us then so now it will be our 2TTC glad to have someone to talk to I've been dying to tell people but then I dont want to as well..it's crazy TTC

Oh can I ask if anyone else is also over 35?

Welcome @ptrbprkr and @Tiff94 !

I’m ttc first baby too, on my 2nd month trying and 4 dpo. No symptoms whatsoever so I really think it’s a bfn this time.

I’ve only been trying for 2 months and I already think how could I do this for years it’s exhausting!

I’ve told my mum, one of my sisters and a friend that we are trying. But that’s all, and they never ask me anything so I don’t really talk about it with anyone. It’s a really lonely thing to go through.

Hi everyone, Stopped my pill 6 days into pill pack and TTC, started bleeding 3 days without pill, anyone else had this?

@Stabal I'm so sorry that happrned 😭 what supplements are you taking?

@Tiff94 hi and welcome! I've just started ttc #1 with my husband this month and also haven't told anyone so it sounds like we have a lot in common!

@msunflower AF started on the Thursday and I was due on the Friday. I got the BFP on the Sunday and it was darker on the Monday. So within 4 days I started to bleed. Although I was technically due on the Friday, my luteal phase is long so I wasn't expecting it until the following week so I'm still unsure if it was the chemical that brought the bleed earlier or if it was the supplements I'm taking that brought it on earlier 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Stabal I'm really sorry to hear that 😔 so did you get a BFP when your AF was due/late? Did AF arrive after the BFP? Gosh, what a journey this ttc is!

Hey everyone hope you don't mind me joining in. I've recently started TTC with my hubby this will be our first baby. I'm looking for fellow friends that are going through the same thing as me, people I can't actually talk to during these crazy times. We're not telling anyone we're trying to conceive so that why i thought I'd join in here. Currently about to finish AF and beginning trying next week hopefully this month will be it. 😃 can't wait to get to know everyone on here xxx

@msunflower I never spot either and had it about 11 DPO last cycle then had the BFP which is why I'm convinced I had a chemical. I wish it was all as easy as we're led to believe as teenagers!

@ptrbprkr hi and welcome!! I'm also a bit of a POAS addict and trying to stop myself as it's only my first cycle ttc! Have you been doing anything different in your cycles?

hi everyone, hope it's still ok to jump on the train :) I'm also currently TTC for my 1st baby. Husband and I are both 25 this year and we've been trying for 5 months. I'm in my TWW now, AF supposed to come next weekend. I've always been a POAS addict but this time I want to just wait until AF comes and I'll POAS if it's late. It's great knowing that there's this group where we can share and encourage each other. Hoping for a great result for all of our tests this cycle and if not, very soon!!!!!

@Stabal agreed and any other symptoms I've felt during the TWW I think I can totally put in the 'could be PMS-could be pregnant' bracket... But I can't explain the spotting/possible implantation bleeding, especially as I have never had any sort of spotting before! If it isn't a BFP, I'm wondering whether I should be worried about that spotting? I can't see anywhere online or mumsnet where people have had what appears to be implantation bleeding, then had a BFN? If I don't get a BFP this month, I'm wondering whether I had implantation but maybe a chemical?

@msunflower that sounds like implantation bleeding. And unfortunately early pregnancy symptoms are nearly identical to AF symptoms so it's hard to know which is which!

@Faith82 ditto, I am also starting to see redundancies at work and we've been on the fence about ttc for the last four years so decided it's now or never too! 🤞🏻for us both that we can keep our jobs and get our BFP soon!

I'm a bit confused about this spotting I had. It came about 7DPO I think, it was super dark, barely filled a liner and then disappeared the next day. Never had any sort of spotting before but that was a week ago and there were light cramps too. I've convinced myself I'm not getting a BFP this month as AF feels like she's on her way, and if I do get a BFN, I'm not sure how to explain my first ever spotting?! Ttc is super confusing, right?!
