As soon as AF disappears, which will be soon 🤞 me & my partner will be ttc :)
I've been keeping an eye on my cycles for a little while using the flo app & have been taking pregnacare.
Is there anything else we should know or do to help prepare ourselves? :)
Exited to go on this roller coaster of a journey & as no one knows of our plans would be lovely to hear off people ttc too :) xx

@Amy259 Thank you ☺️ So excited to finally be trying now

Amy259 · 20/10/2020 10:37

@rosieb060 it’s mad how long it feels isn’t it? This is my 3rd cycle too but it feels like years!!

@Waiting2BeaMama welcome! Good luck, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Waiting2BeaMama · 20/10/2020 09:47

@rosiej95 Thank you! It definitely is a rollercoaster! I've started to get ahead of myself already, thinking about everything I might need etc if I get a BFP in November! Need to chill out and focus on enjoying the process lol

rosieb060 · 20/10/2020 09:46

AF this morning. It feels so rubbish. I also feel like we've been trying for ages, even tho this was only the third month Confused

rosiej95 · 20/10/2020 09:17

@Amy259 stay hydrated 😂😂 that made me laugh! 😂

@Waiting2BeaMama hey 👋 it's deffo a rollercoaster of a journey 😊 good luck with your fertile window 😊

@rosiej95 you go girl - good luck and stay hydrated 🤣

@beckyBP I think when it gets to this point my impatience of not knowing yet takes over all other feelings, so when af comes I’m just relieved the waiting is over!

@maudesid I’ve got some af symptoms and some symptoms the same as when I had my chemical.. so I can’t reeeally call it yet but I felt much more pregnant when I had the chemical! By now I was nauseous, couldn’t drink coffee, weird cramps etc and I have none of that so I’m pretty sure I’m out.

Waiting2BeaMama · 20/10/2020 08:32

Hi Ladies, Can I join in with this thread?
I am approaching my fertile window on cycle 1 of ttc our first baby. So excited but also feel nervous about stepping into the unknown! I have been off my implant since Jan 2019 and using Natural Cycles to prevent pregnancy, so it is a bit scary suddenly deciding to try lol! Fingers crossed 🤞

maudesid · 20/10/2020 06:56

@beckyBP oh crap so sorry lovely, you are now ready for that August baby. Eat chocolate and chill before onto the next month Flowers

@RLou3 I hope you can relax a little and enjoy it soon, so many people the very beginning is the worst because you don't feel or look pregnant so it's really hard to believe and not feel scared.

@rosiej95 I think our emotions are just totally irrational in their patterns, one week I feel totally obsessed the next I'm fine and calm. Get dtd!

@Amy259 How you feeling? I'm 8dpo no symptoms apart from one mildly sore boob haha pretty sure it's not this month for me and as you say as well I think I'm ok with that..probably because I'm sure it's not.

beckyBP · 19/10/2020 20:59

Thanks girls you're all so lush!

Yeah @RLou3 how are you feeling? I'm
Sure it will be less stressful once you have your first scan! How long now?

@rosiej95 that did make me laugh! Good luck for ovulation. Get DTD girl 💁🏼‍♀️

@Amy259 it's strange isn't it how the anxiety of it comes and goes. Well done for being calm but still.. you're not out until AF arrives so 🤞🏽 for you!!

rosiej95 · 19/10/2020 20:22

@Amy259 haven't ovulated yet 😂😂 that's the joke of it. Keep telling myself I need to calm down 😂
My app tells me it's tomorrow I'm never convinced by the app so I'm going to try and dtd from now until the next week to try & cover all bases.
It's so strange isn't it being totally out of control. Hopefully she stays well away for you 🤞

@rosiej95 haha that made me giggle! It’s such a rollercoaster, isn’t it?! It 100% sent me loopy the first month, I was obsessed. I think I might be getting steadily better now... What DPO are you now?

I’m okay thanks! I’m 11dpo today and expecting af tomorrow when she’s due - feeling very pre-af like. I feel weirdly okay with it though, which is weird! I think because I’ve been so sure this month I’m not preg, I’ve come to terms with it already.

rosiej95 · 19/10/2020 19:49

@Amy259 all good here Thankyou.
I feel I've turned a little crazy this month tho... last month I was chilled & like what will be will be & this month I currently have maternity clothes in my basket on boohoo because they have a sale on 😂
This ttc has sent me on a right roller coaster of emotions 😂😂
How are you doing?

Amy259 · 19/10/2020 19:25

@beckyBP sorry to hear af came - but 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for that August baby you’ve been manifesting, it’s just too early this month!!

@xoriea sorry, I’ve never been on the pill and sorry af came too! Onto the next!!

@rosiej95 how are you??

@RLou3 ahhh I bet, it must be the most nervous time. Are you booking an early scan?

xoriea · 19/10/2020 19:06

Thank you! Period this time but there's always the next 🤞xx

xoriea · 19/10/2020 19:05

Thank you lovely but it's deffo period this time xx

rosiej95 · 19/10/2020 18:52

@beckyBP I am genuinely gutted for you! Af kicks us down but you've got this. august baby here you come 💪🏻🥰

@RLou3 how are you feeling? 😍

@xoriea ive not been on the pill for years either so I'm not much help 😕 hope you get your answers soon tho 😃

OP posts:
RLou3 · 19/10/2020 10:59

@beckyBP was really praying for you!! Will continue to do so! Exactly... fingers crossed for that August baby 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 The stress doesn’t stop girls. I’ve probably taken 30 pregnancy tests since last Sunday 😩😩😩. I’m over analysing everything. Even husband has become obsessed - telling me to take one every morning!!! P OFF - IM STRESSED ENOUGH XXXXXX

beckyBP · 19/10/2020 10:44

Eurgh girls AF is here! I'm so gutted!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for you all for this month. ON THE THE NEXT 💪🏽 I guess if it was next month it would be the August baby I said I wanted 😂

@xoriea I'm no help sorry as haven't used the pill for years but didn't want to ignore you. 🤞🏽 it's implantation xx

xoriea · 18/10/2020 20:34

Advice please, came off Noriday pill (progestogen-only) 27th September, it was the kind of pill that you had to take every day no breaks and had a period each month like normal. Since coming off the pill we've been TTC obviously knowing it doesn't just happen automatically.

I've tracked periods for a couple of years as well as ovulation weeks and I ovulated between 5-8th October.

Yesterday, I noticed that when I wiped it was very light pink and today it's slightly more so have put a pad in but nowhere near what my periods are normally like (normally very heavy), I have sore boobs and I've had bad headaches for the past week. I did take an early detection test 3 days ago as I was just curious which was negative but now I'm wondering if this is implantation or just a withdraw bleed or even period? My next period is due in 3 days...Thanks girls xx

maudesid · 18/10/2020 17:32

Go for it @rosiej95! Are you tracking ovulation or just going with the flow?
@beckyBP could definitely be pregnancy really hope AF doesn't turn up tomorrow! I'm 6dpo and no symptoms at all yet..

beckyBP · 18/10/2020 09:35

@rosiej95 go girl 👏🏽👏🏽 what more can you do 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for your this month.

AF due tomorrow and I don't think I'll test until after then if AF is a no show. I've got my normal pre AF cramps but I've read loads that that's normal in early pregnancy.

Not ruling myself out but not getting too excited either!! Xx

rosiej95 · 18/10/2020 09:30

@beckyBP when do you recon you will test? 😊

All good here nothing new to report, just trying to DTD as much as we can 😂
Really putting our all into this month. So hoping something positive comes out of it 🥰

OP posts:
beckyBP · 17/10/2020 21:17

Wouldn't it just. No sign yet 🤞🏽🤞🏽

maudesid · 17/10/2020 19:53

Oh no @beckyBP that would be extra cruel to come early as well!

beckyBP · 17/10/2020 14:29

Hey @rosiej95 no sign yet!! I've got all the pre AF feeling but you do hear that people do and turn out to be pregnant so 🤞🏽🤞🏽

How are you doing? Xx
