First time TTC - second cycle

@leftitlate37 thankyou! Same as you, really not sunk in and as it's so early, just a bit anxious atm!
Starting to get really sore boobs and just want to sleep Haha!
I've looked at the calculator and think it would round about 26th May! Any idea when your due?
So glad to hear you're doing okay 😊 exciting times! Hopefully you'll get the appointments through soon! I know what you mean, til then its almost like it's not real!! Xx

Oh my gosh yippee!!! Congrats @Laurenemma13 that is amazing news!!! Any idea what date u would be due?! Such great news! U feeling ok? All ok so far thanks, like obv early days and bit anxious but keeping everything crossed!! Just waiting to hear back from maternity unit re appointments now ...not sure itll feel real til then!

@leftitlate37 how are you keeping?
Tested this morning and also got my BFP after a super faint line yesterday so a but shocked to say the least!!

@leftitlate37 exciting times but I know exactly what you mean, I'm such a worrier so would be exactly the same.once that initial adrenaline has worn off! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🥰
Honestly I'm not sure, I do get cramps but normally it's near the start of AF and not this early or for this long cos it's been a few days now. Going to try and hold til Tuesday but might end up testing on Sunday when itll ne like 10-11dpo! 🙈 xx

thanks @Laurenemma13! not sure its sunk in yet! i always need something in my life to stress about and within about 2h i was like oh noooo i hope this lasts...i know, ridiculous eh!
argh its like the hardest time eh 7DPO ish!!! I had managed to never test as I know what id be like, i would just never stop and thought if in for the long haul id spend a small fortune!! good luck holding out ...when do you think you might test? do you usually get cramps around now? x

Oh wow @leftitlate37 massive congrats!!🥳 you must be so excited!!!
Yeah between 7-8 dpo and starting to go crazy 😂 Had cramps for a few days and really tired but really trying not to test early. Easier said than done lol!

hey! literally got a BFP earlier today, argh! AF was due monday but thought maybe just a bit late, but had super sore boobs for last 2 weeks which were way worse than normal, so just thought this morn that maybe should test, gulp!
How r u doing @Laurenemma13? you must be well into TWW now?! fingers crossed! how u feeling?
Hope everyone else is doing ok too and more BFPs!

Hows everyone doing? Any BFPs yet or in that TWW? X

Got my smiley face this morning from clearblue opks! D17 after 12 days of testing 🤞

@frolicmum I'm waiting on ovulation. Just hoping it'll come this month as didn't happen last month. Been testing since day 5 this month 🙈

Any BFPs yet???

@Sip123 I think I'm around 10dpo now but I've only used the Flo app to judge it so it could be totally off! I've been tracking my period for the last year as we were originally due to get married in Sept so I was tracking it to figure out if I needed to go back on the pill to stop it from falling on wedding date - I thought it would have had enough data by now to give me a good ovulation estimate so that's all I've gone off. But after going through my cycle data it seems my cycle can be anywhere from 31 to 36 days so I guess it's hard to predict - might have to try opks next month!

@Laurenemma13 Thanks for the welcome Luckily for him I think he hasn't got to worry about losing out on the trying process - I think we're out this month.

Had a very very slight bit of spotting last night (less than on Monday) so I thought there might still be a glimmer of hope but this morning it's heavier - still not a lot but as it's got heavier I think it's AF making her appearance a bit earlier than originally expected.

@Laurenemma13 I like your approach!!
OH is doing extra hours at the moment and we work opposite hours so it’s with 6.30 am or 10.30-11 pm 🤣🤣

@kittynoire welcome! That sounds promising though I get why you're oh would be disappointed. Mine was disappointed this first month with no bfp but did say he was looking forward to another month of trying!
@Sip123 how you doing? I get what you mean about the romance! I've tried to not tell Dh when I'm ovulating so it's not so mechanical and also bought some nice new things from love honey which went down a treat 😂🙈

@kittynoire how many days are you past ovulation?

I need to try and the romance in the sex as I just feel like it’s the baby making process and it’s causing me loose the spark.. trying not to show it

@Sip123 Thank you - I have a feeling that it's going to be negative, I'm getting period like cramping now so I think AF may just be gearing up for an earlier visit! Plus I've read so many posts from people saying they just felt pregnant and knew and I honestly don't feel any different at all!

@frolicmum Ahhh so it does happen then!! If we've somehow pulled this off in the first cycle then my OH is going to feel absolutely robbed - I told him he'd have months of fun before anything happened

@kittynoire I already have one and this sounds like me first time round!!! We didn't expect anything and I got pregnant in my first cycle!

@kittynoire welcome.. this sounds promising and exciting.. I hope you get a positive when you do test

Hello!

I've been lurking on this thread as an unregistered spectator haha for a couple of days thinking I wouldn't have a reason to join in yet but this morning has changed that!

We're in our first month of trying for baby no 1 and neither of us expected anything to happen for the first couple of cycles and so we've been really chilled this past week. Just starting the second week of waiting and I've had a very light bleed - I never get spotting or bleeding in between periods so this is brand new for me. AF not due until next Monday...

I'm going to see how it goes and then order a test in and take it on Sunday morning - I've got an exam on Saturday morning and don't fancy having a freak out (good or bad) just before it haha!!

@Sip123 yeah it's super useful to know and gives you a good idea now. I've read that so many people dont actually ovulate on day 14 or when an app guesses it so were missing it!
Be sure to let you know how it goes!

@Laurenemma13, thank you. I found out I ovulated a bit earlier than I thought but have done two months and same day both so has been useful to know, I found bbt and link matched.
Let me know how yours goes?

@Sip123 yeah no idea tbh 😂 I didn't do but or opks apart from a few sporadically. I've bought clearblue tests, pack of 20 and going to do one each day this month to track.
Oh how exciting!! Fingers crossed you'll see that bfp 😊

@Laurenemma13 that’s really hard to tell. Have you done bbt or opk at all to give any guidance.
Welll according to my Femometer opk and clear blue opk I ovulated today. Came off af on Sunday and have had sex every other day since and an extra for good luck on ovulation day 🤣 now they joys of the 2ww knowing that I can’t stress!! Let’s hope second month lucky..
@frolicmum how are you

@Sip123 I think confused is the best word for it 😂
So af (if that's what it is) has already gone so really only 3 days, if that. Didn't think it was ovulation bleeding as it was just too heavy and even implantation bleeding. Also thought that would be too early!

How you getting on? X

@frolicmum it’s so hard isn’t it. You know stress doesn’t help but when you want something so bad how do you not!
I think ever other day is good goinng, we have no children but work very opposite hours and struggling with every other day.. I feel it’s loosing a lot of the romance to which isn’t either of our thoughts just in the bag of my mind I’m worrying if this will be our month rather than ‘enjoying the moment’

@Laurenemma13 how are you doing today
